Salvador Is Quiet. San Salvador, Republic of Salvador, Feb. 9. There is no truth in the reports emanating from Managua, Nic aragua, that a Salvadorlau gunboat lias been firing its guns at night in the pretence of repulsing a Nicaraguan attack, the alleged intention being to create 111 feeling against the Nicarag rtan government. Salvador is quiet, and both the government and the peo ple are attending only to their own affair shall not be Questioned in any other place. "This provision we regard as essen tial to secure full liberty of speech to the elected representatives of the peo ple; and we feel that such liberty of enceeh should be preserved even though it may occasionally be abused. "It ought to be understood, how ever, that the utterances of individual members are not to be taken as ex pressing the views either of the gov ernment of the United States or of the house in which such remarks are made. As regards the statements in question made by Representative Rai ney the president attached so little importance to them that he had not even read thein 'until your protest came. He has now read them and none of them concerning which he had knowledge have any foundation in fact. The president wishes me to re call to your attention that the attack was made even more upon Americans, including the president-elect, than up on the officials at Panama. The pres ident need hardly say that this gov ernment disavows all responsibility for the remarks of Representative Rai ney to which you refer. "Accept, sir, the renewed assurance of mv high consideration, "ROBERT BACON." BOSTON ITALIANS RETURN FROM VISIT TO MESSINA. Express Dissatisfaction Over Conduct of Relief Work. Boston, Mass., Feb. 9.

SENATOR LUTHER OBJECTED. Takes First 6tep in Direction of Econ omy in Appropriations. Hartford, Feb. 9. When a resolution came into the senate this afternoon to pay the senate clerk an additional sura of money for clerical assistance, Sen ator Luther objected to the suspension of the rules, which motion had been made by Senator Higgins, so that it could take final passage.

Later, Senator Luther called at tention to the statutes, which provide that the salary of the clerk of the sen ate, which is J3,500, set forth distinct ly that the salary provision covers all the expenditures and service rendered by the clerk. Senator Luther's action, it is un derstood, is the first step In the di rection of economy The appropria tions committee has sounded a note of warning that all resolutions carrying appropriations must be well consid ered, as the state's finances must be conserved. It has been the custom in the past, it la understood, for various resolutions to be reported from time to time, covering additional expenses for clerical assistance given to the clerk of both branches, some of this assistance being for compiling lists of measures which have been introduced and in preparing matter for the committee. Last session some of these resolutions met with opposition, as members took the ground that the clerks were paid ample salaries to do the work incident to the offices they hold.

Hartford, Feb. 9. Considerable In terest has been roused in the egg bill which was Introduced last week by Representative Savage of Mansfield, and it is likely to bo the center of some warm debates before the com mittee of the house. It was sent to the eommitt;? cn agriculture, of which Mr. Savage is himself house chair man, instead Of the committee on pub lic health and safety, to which there was some sentiment in favor of send ing It. The bill provides that all eggs offer ed for sale In a store or by a merchant must be marked In letters not less than one inch high whether they are cold storage, preserved or fresh laid eggs. There is a fine of from $10 to $25 for each offense, and cyery day the eggs are offered for sale contrary to the law is to be considered a separate offense. That there should be a law of this sort is the opinion of a great many, though it will not strike the dealers in and handlers of eggs as favorably, no doubt; but the disputed point in the matter seems likely to be In regard to the qualifications an e?? must have In order to be considered "fre,h laidv tin der the law, and it is likely that this will have to be defined In the law be fore It Is finally passed.

It is Believed Judiciary Committee Will Favorably Report the Bill Hearing Held at Hartford Provis ions of Bills. (Special to The Bulletin. Hartford, Feb. 9. There is good rea son to believe chat the judiciary com mittee will report favorably the bill which authorizes the town of Norw ich to hold itis town elections every two years instead of every year, as at present, a hearing on which was held by the committee this afternoon. The bill extends the terms of tne asses sors from the three-year term at pres ent in existence to a six-year ter.n and provides that they shall be ap pointed one every two years instead of one every year, as is done now. It provides further that the nine school visitors shall be appointed three every two years instead of three every year, as at present, and extends their terms to six years from the term of half that length now in force. It was drawn in accordance w ith the provisions of a vote passed at the last annual town meeting. Attorney Amos A. Browning appear ed before the Judiciary committee to day and described the multiplicity of elections with which Norwich now finds itself encumbered, with a city etection in June every two years, a school election in August every year, a town election In October, andiin al ternate years a guberrfatorlal or pres idential election in November. He said that It was desired to have the town and school elections every two years instead of every year and thus save the town of Norwich considerable money. The vote passed last fall was passed, he said in answer to the ques tion of Senator Searls, chairman of the committee, -with the expectation that the next legislature would alter matters so-that it could be carried out and will be of no use unless this bill Is passed. He called on Town Clerk Charles A. Holbrook to say what the 4own would be saved and the latter told the com mittee that it meant a saving of about $2,000 every other year, for It cost that much to hold an election in Nor wich, with its six election districts. To extend these terms would work a hardship on nobody and would not only save the taxpayers money, but would tend to make for more efficient service on the part of these officers in the ratio in which it removed them from political upsets. Everybody in Norwich was in favor of the change, said Mr. Holbrook. First Selectman Lathrop was at the hearing to urge the adoption of the meaure. if necessary, but he was not heard on the matter. Senator Searls saying that sufficient had been told the committee on the a rmative side of the question. Hi3 call for anyone who was opposed to say something brought no response. Many Viewed Ruins.

Lo. A magnificent pair of elk's antlers stolen recently from the George T. Bradley residence at Pomfret have been located at the saloon of Fred Wood on Elm street. The antlers are of the finest type obtainable and their value is fixed at not less than five hundred dollar. Mr. Wood purchased the antlers about ten days ago from a transient person who represented him self as working at Pomfret. He bar gained with Wood a month ago for the purchase of the horns and said that he had received them as a gift when they were ahout to be thrown away as worthless. Wood paid seven dollars for the head and its extraordinary spread of antlers and went to Pomfret In broad1 daylight with a team and brought them to Putnam. The head has been tpulled from the base on which it was mounted, but otherwise it is in excellent condition. It has developed that the felldw who sold Wood the head never worked at Pomfret and undoubtedly stole the valuable ornament when the place was last entered. Deputy Sheriff Oeorge Hblbrook, who is at work on the case, lost a fine opportunity to land the thief Tues day afternoon. The sheriff visited Wood's place, where he learned the antlers were to be found; it happened that the fellow who sold the antlers to Wood was in the saloon when the sher iff called. The sheriff did not have a description of the fellow at that time and did not recognize him and the un known took advantage of the chance to get away while the sheriff and Wood were talking. He was ien later in the railroad yards and probably made his way out of town on a freight. He is described as about 5 feet 11 inches tall, dark complexion, black hair, and when last seen had on a blae't suit of clothes; black overcoat, and cap and very poor, laced' shoes. He has a smooth face and is eenerally dirty with grease and soot. He stammers when h talks. The man Is known only as Louis and ie Is suspected of two other breaks at Pomfret.

The stock mar ket lapsed into apathetlo conditions again today after the failure of at tempts to extendi the upward move ment of yesterday. The demand from the short left uncovered afier the selling of the end of last week was early exhausted and there was no fur ther demand in sight Outside of a narrow professional circle of operators, both the long and the snort side of the account seemed to be without attrac tion. A fact which detract from tha influence which th. sensational pas sages concerning Japanese relations might otherwise have is the sustained strength of the Japanese government bonds, the upward movement of which was resumed today in foreign markets on account of the favorable outlook f.ir Japanese finances. Appreciation In market prices of these securities is not considered compatible with tnv serious threat to th maintenance of the friendly foreign relations of the Japanese government. The tone of the money ma."ket precluded any anxiety over th.- outlook in that field, such as was suggested by tha complexion of last Saturday' bank statement. The Qey's business repremented the smaller total for sevpral months past. Bonds were firm. Tetal sales, .par value $5, 620,000.

BUDGET CONFERENCE OF NORTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION Large Gathering at Central Baptist Church Many Addresses 'Heard. Well attended meetings oc'cuDvinsr th.

Object of t.nv.ntion. In an address unon the northern finntlRt .irtn VAtitinn wViltV. H 1 4 first annual meeting In Oklahoma City last, may, jtey. A. a. coat, I.D., of Hartford said that etila was a federation to obtain some ort of unity for th interests of mlesion arv efforts In oil tha etnma etAi tha denomination. It might serve as the voice of the denomination upon the great moral question f the day, backed by a million and Quarter voices. It has spoken on temperance reform, on the iniquity of the whit slave traf flo, on the denominational press, and many matters of importance to the denomination. Th convention is try ing to bring to bear upon the hearts and conscience of the church mem bers a conception of their responsibil ity for carrying on this work of mis sions, and give the churches to under stand that the duty of th. hour is not fully done until the need has been met in every direction. A brief session of prayer followed the address, a custom which was fol lowed at th conclusion of each ad dress. Dr. Witter on th Budget Dr. W. K. Witter of Boston was the speaker upon The Budget. Printed matter was distributed, showing that tha sum of $1,500,000 was asked from the churches in the following appor tionment: Missionary Union Debts $15S 000 current expenses $547,000, workinr capital, $62,000. Home Mission Society Debts $96 -000, current expenses $442,000, work ing capital $50,220. Publication Society Debts $30 000 current expanses $103,000, working capital $11,780. The adoption of this budget, the speaker said, had been one of the most powerful agencies for uniting the churches of the denomination, and had been a blessing of incalculable value Tha 'Northern Baptist convention has decided that In future none of these societies shall be allowed to have largo debts. It will be put up to the de nomination to say Just what shall be done in these fields. With wonderful success, Dr. Witter said, the churches had taken hold of tha budget appor tionment, which had been made by states and then by churches. New England and Connecticut had been no tably responsive. Belong With Laymen. Rev. P. C. Wright, pastor of the ciiurca, was ajjKeu to speak and re sponded by saying that he felt the Northern Baptist convention waa our salvation because it was taking it out of the hands of the ministers and a few committees and boards and putting it Into the hands of the laymen where it belongs. ("Amen, the best thing I've heard in these conferences." from Dr L. Call Barnes.) Rev. Mr. Wright went on to speak strongly of the ne cessity of putting the work into the hands of laymen and the business men of the congregations. The First Baptist-church was re ported to be laboring with church debt by its pastor, Rev. W. T. Thayer, but would probably do its shstre on the budget. Other pastors who told what their churehe were doing -were Revs H. B. Rankin. Noank. F. J .Budding ton of Quaker Hill, "E. W. Potter of .Towett Citv .T A ".1ela nw t XJJ 1 don and Rev. Mr. Prlndle of Preston City, but there wa3 not time for all to be heard from. The collection follow ed. Dr. Barnes of New York Spoke. "Methods That Win" wns the sub ject upon which Rev. L. Call Barnes, D. D., of New York, made an address that was greatly appreciated. He told the delegates that this conference was one of the most spirited and best he had attended. Such a denominational union for Baptist churches was no new-fangled idea. aB it had been advo cated in 1770, the seed of the. Northern Baptist convention. It dees not mili tate against but rather promotes the old Baptist independence and democ racy. We have found that it is time to ge; together. The Northern Baptist con vention Is to give expression to the denominational gumptic it, to pull to gether. There is not a single excep tion from ocean to ocean of a state as sociation that has not approved of it. He went on togpeak of the way the convention harfbeen taken hold of in some states. Nebraska and Pennsylva nia, and of methods some churches had pursued to raise their apportion ments. It is by putting Christ and the coming of his kingdom first that we shall all get along better, and it is coming. After a brief prayer service, con ducted by Dr. Barnes, the afternoon session adjourned for the banquet. An address In the afternoon pro gramme upon An Open Door for New Duties, to be given by Dr. E. H. Spalding. D. D., of Boston, had to be omitted because of illness, which kept the speaker at his home. Banquet Served. The banquet was served at 6 o'clock In Bushnell chapel, with covers laid for 117, and was finely served by the Ladies' Benevolent union, with mem bers of the Progressive Missionary club and the Laurel Hill Mission circle serving as waitresses. At the conclu sion Rev. W. T. Thayer acted as toast master, and there were two practical talks, James L. Case speaking upon What the Layman Wants and What the Layman Can Do, and Charles Ed ward Prior of Hartford upon The Bud get. Dr. Witter was also heard from in brief remarks. Evening Service. The evening strvice opened at 7.15 with a praise service conducted by Rev. Mr. Flanders, and an anthem was well rendered by the church quartette. Rev. Mr. Thayer then took charge and pray er was offered by Rev. Mr. Moreland of Oxford.

The Leading Store in Eastern Connecticut Devoted Exclusively to Men's, Women's and Chil dren's Wearing Apparel. Dr. Barnes, who had spoken In the aft ernoon, was the first speaker, having the subjict. Do It New. He covered the field of missionary enterprise for the last hundred years in all parts of the world, which he likened to a cen tury plant ready to bloom. The work of the hour will be what everything now turns on. Especially In the grow ing west of this country is this true, and there must be Christian civiliza tion from the start, for the only insur ance for America is the Christian family. If America is to be insured it is to be done now. He was followed, after a hymn, by the address of Dr. Bowley Green of the Broadway Baptist church, Provi dence. It was the first time Dr. Green had been heard in' this city, or Connec ticut, he said, and ho impressed his hearers most favorably. In afrimpres sive manner he spoke of the wonder ful success of missionary work in many fields and among many different kinds of people, freely illustrating his talk with personal experlimcA met with in work in Massachusetts. Maine, Rhode Island and New Zealand. Before the prayer and benediction by Rev. Mr. Wright concluded the service. Dr. Witter expressed appreciation of all who had contributed to the success of the conference. The local committee in charge con sisted of Rev. W. T. Thayen (chair man). Rev. P. C. Wright, Rev. H. B.

Norwich, on Tuesday morning, In the loss of the Shannon block and the partial destruction of the adjoln- UiS buildings, hod .n. of the most se- j rious fires In its history and the losses of all concerned will probably exceed $SO0,0Q0. There are two things to be thank lul for: That there were no lives lost snd that Fairview reservoir stood the test so well at Its almost unprecedent ed condition of low water at this time of the year. Unanimous and sincere were the ex pressions of regret from our citizens that such a destruction of business concerns should have occurred right in the heart of the city; and not a little terror concerning the danger of ex hausting Fairview reservoir and bring ing upon the city a water famine. Now that It Is over we know that the ca- j sclty of our deep and reliable reser olr la dependable wjien conditions seemed to warrant despair. In a way the testing of the reservoir and the Tvay the pond stood the strain was a valuable lesson. It would have been a good thing If there had been a Wharf or pier In the frShetucket river with foundations equal to supporting the steamers and per mlttlng them to draw water from that Inexhaustible source. Such a pier t-hould be built as an added protec tion to the business center. Adverse criticism of the firemen Is always In order upon such exciting occasions, and It Is usually very unjust the irrstlonal utterance of excited persons who see only faults when they should see things to praise are al ways regrettable and later are usually repented of. Those who know best what the fire men did are not only speaking words of praise, but manifesting their, ap preciatlon of their work by sending Chief Stanton checks for the firemen's fund, which la a substantial recogni tion of merit. The spirit of enterprise which prompts Mr. J. B. Shannon and Plaut Cadd.n to announce that the struc tures burned will be promptly rebuilt, is creditable to the business acumen of the "Rose of New England" It is the spirit which la to make the future of Norwich greater than its past. THE QREAT SHIP DELAWARE. The launching of America's greatest battleshl Delaware at Newport News, on Saturday, ought to make that lit tle state swell with pride. The Delaware is one of four ships of the first magnitude now In course of construction for the United States navy, and In displacement tonnage, when completed, will exceed the Brit ish Dreadnought by 2,100' tons and will be larger by 750 tons than the Vanguard, the largest of British bat tleships for which plans have been given out. The Delaware, by the stipulations of the contract, is to have a speed ca pacity of 21 knots per hour, which will place her In the swift crui.er class. Her main battery guns will be o arranged as to permit a broadside re twenty-five per cent, greater than any battleship In commission, or, so far as is generally known, that Is un der construction. Her offensive ca pacity Is second to no other fighting craft of which the construction plans have as yet bem worked out. But in the planning of the Delaware thought was given to her defensive as well as her offensive capabilities. The navy department believes that she rlll be the best protected ship be longing to any navy. Attention Is called to the fart that this leviathan, In one broadside from licr main battery, will hurl 10,000 pounds of steel, which is 3,000 pounds more than Dewey's fleet could have delivered at one discharge at the time of the battle of Manila bay. In fact, she Is a whole feet In herself, and as a worker of destruction the greatt ever! THE NEWS FROM FRANCE. The disquieting news from France tb&t Johnny Crapeau proposes to put the "highest tariff on American goods and the lowest on Canadian goods as a matter of retaliation should not be taken too seriously, even should this advantage to Canada compel Ameri cans to remove some of their manu fact6rles there. Canada Is now being Americanized faster than she want to be, and is in a semi-state of terror as to her future In consequence. There have been 150, 000 American farmers added to Can ada In the past decade by their land (policy and the Canadian northwest is taking on such an airy and Independ ent American spirit that the Domin ion is really worried about it. Old fashioned Canadians, intensely loyal to their own country and to Great Britain, do not like this Americaniz ing of the Dominion's wide expanse of wheat lands in the northwest, but they are unable to stem the tide. If Canada is Inviting enough to enter prising men and Important enough as a place for their work and their In vestments, the Americanizing will go en. And what Canadian wants his country to fail or slacken lta pace in any phase of growth which attracts the home-seekers from the United States? Canada is all right and through Its Americanization It is likely to come naturally to its own. When Canada gets ready to be free she may rise gome morning early, knock at the door of Unole Sam and ask for ad mission to the union. Uncle Sam, under such circumstanc es, would not be discourteous to "the lady of the snows." Another hermit or wild man has been found living a solitary life in Nebraska, and he had the traditional big whisker. If only one clean shaved wild man could be found. When It came to an emergency Jack BInna was a hero; and when it came to speculative inducements he show ad that he was no fool. He proved to be a roaja of double virtue. FIVE HUNDRED A YEAR. "Can a man and wife live In Nor wich on $500 a year?" must be an swered in the affirmative. There are families In every city the size of Norwich who do not earn $10 a week on the average and some of them live and pay their church dues as well as other dues promptly. It Is natural that people who have ample means should not be able to see how this is done; and It cannot be done without the practice of the strictest economy, but the strictest economy is not Insufferable to people who are used to It. It is not easy to estimate the ex penses of a man and his wife, since they differ as widely as do their views. In rooms or a small tenement they might divide their expenses as follows: Rent $100 Fuel and groceries 173 Clothing 123 Medicines 25 Lights 12 Laundry 30 Incidentals 33 Total toOO An expense schedule like the above can bo made in a hundred ways and still be a true representation of the cost of living. It is apparent lhat there is no room for extravagance and that care must be constantly given to doing things to save money as well as to earn it. A great many families In Norwicn live on $500 a year and make no com plaint of discomfort. In fact, they live simply and appear to be blessed with nn abundance of health if not with plenty of tiie earth's goods. ART IN BANK BILLS. France's new bank note will justify a term often applied to these engrav ings a veritable picture." It is to he printed in no less than four colors. The painter, Luc-Oliver Mason, has Just finished the design. His picture Is of a group representing Labor and Wisdom. In colors this is expected to form one of the most beautiful bank notes the world has seen. The denomination of the note is fifty francs ($10). Meriden Journal. There Is no reason why paper mon ey should not be printed In colors, for l.eauty whenever it is kept before the eyes of the people Is educational. In a country like this the finest art work should be put Into the bills of lowest denomination for the people's sake. The bills which the people see often est should be made the most artistic. Artistic coins and artistic notes have a value above and beyond the face value. This is not the custom, but It would be a real Improvement to change the custom. EDITORIAL NOTES. Nevada would have looked better had she waited until her turn came before she got gay. There were 35 ships built In this country during January with a ton nage of 12,324 tons. There are only four Japanese among the people of Nevada, and still they have a feeling of terror. The Ohio Black Horse troop is to be the great military attraction In Washington on March 4th. It is now said that Missouri is like ly to go' prohibition, which means that there is to be more hard cider in the state. Lincoln carried a pleasant, kind- hearted face, and still men do now speak of his ugly aripcarar.ee. They never saw him. speaker Cannon is not making any engagements for next July Fourth. He expects congress to be in session atr than that. The employers of young women ste nographers should have a care about their keeping a daily diary, to be u.serf later as evidence. Attention is being callad to the fact that Senator Allison wag not a meg aphone statesman. He made little noise, but did things. Have you noticed that a legisla ture with its thousands of proposed Mils on its hands never appears to have much on its mind? If the whole Masonic body was call ed upon to vote for Taft as an in itiate to the order it is not likely that there would be one black ball. Happy thought for today: The small hoy in his first trousers does not feel smarter than the woman who is "wearing her first diamond ring. It is easier to find fault with public servants than it is to praise them. In time of great trial the man who is doing the best he can is doing well enough. President Roosevelt is not going to let it be said that ha did not do all that he could to have the treaty with Jnpan honored and the spirit of war cheeked. Admiral .sperry says that his fleet of flehting ships will reach Hampton Roads In better trim than they were n when they left it. That tells well for our workmen. When the American fleet has fin ished its cruise of 45,000 miles and lies at anchor off Hampton Roads, it will not be bragging to say that It has beaten all creation. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. A Point at Which Education is Neg lected. Mr. Editor: It is doubtful if there was ever a time in the history of the world when the value of education was mora fully realized than at present. Every parent who looks forward to the happiness of his child knows how es sential to his life is proper training. This knowledge and the anxiety felt in regard to the education of the child are too often the cause of over-education. Just as in the preparation for ath letic contests the participants are sometimes defeated because of what is known in athletics as over-training too much training or preparation. This is especially regrettable .where the child has not the constitution, mental ly and physically, to receive all that it is desired that he shall have. In the eagerness to have him the equal if not the superior of his classmates and friends, he is frequenaly burdened with more than he can tarry. The result Is that he not only fails to attain to the expected degree of Intellectual fitness hoped for, but is so broken in mind, and possibly in body, that he becomes incapaciated for the duties or profes sion in which it was believed he would excel. It were far better that due at tention On given to tnis leature or tne i child's education, even at the expense I of postponing some studies until he I is older and stronger; or, if necessary. THE EULLETIJi'S r GOOD "The lad is all broke up," said the man with the hod. "His mother says he ain't et hardly a bite for a week an' she don't dast to leave him alone for fear he'll do suthin' in a state of temp'ry insanerty. I tell her he was temp'ry insane right from tha start. He ain't no worse now than when he thought the g'irl was goin' to take him. Ain't that right?" "How?" asked the man with the hoe. "You ought to know better than to ask hov..a man o' your Judgment an experience." said the man with the hod. "Would you or would any man in his senses want a girl like that? Didn't you never see her?" "Sure. I sean hr," replied the man with the hoe. "Seemed to me she was a good-lookin' girl." The man with the hod grunted dis gustedly. "A good-lookin' girl!" he repeated. "The town's full o' good lookin' girls I see a dozen or two every mornin' I come down to work. But I'd sooner see a dog fight." "That's because you ain't got good taste." said the man with the hoe. "It's because I've got horse sense," said the man with the hod. "You take a couple o' well-matched dogs an' get 'em to fightin' an' there's some en joyment an' a chance make a little essy money if you know the dogs. Now, this girl. She ain't more'n 17 or is. to start off. Phe's a. kid. If a man wants a woman to look after him that's all right. J don't say there's any harm in that; but he wants a woman, not a kid. What's the good o' long eyelashes to him? They may be all right to look at, but you don't have to marry a girl to look at her eyelashes. I couldn't tell you whether my wife had any eyelashes or not. I never took no particular notice of 'em as I can remember. I took notice that Fhe could et up a meal o' vlttles, though, an' I never seen no 18-year-old gill who could do that." neglecting them entirely, than to par tially wreck his mind and body in an attempt to develop prematurely or to too great extent the intellectual capac ity he possesses. With these reflections considered, it may be well to give attention to an other and very essential feature of the child's training, one which is of more importance when looking toward a happy, useful and contented life, a life in which his value to the community is most felt, than any other. This feature Is the development of decision of character. By this is meant the in stilling of Information as to the im portance of a right line of conduct through life from which one should never w&ver. Of course it is assumed that all parents will advise their chil dren as to that which is right and that whicli is wrong, and will impress upon them the necessity of a life of probity and soberness. It must be said, how ever, that It is entirely too often the case that this feature of the child's training is not given the importance that it deserves, for it is difficult to overestimate its value. The over anx iety to gcrg him with text-books in order that he may graduate, take de grees, etc.. Is r sponsible in a great many cases for neglecting this more important teaching. It is not desired or intended in any way to disparage or minimize In the least the necessity for the training and information con tained in text-books and other works from which useful knowledge can be acquired, but it is hoped to accentuate to the greatest degree the necessity for imposing on the child his responsibil ity to society and country In the mat ter of sterling and fixed character. In deed, this is the central feature of ed ucation, which reminds one of the oft- quoted but nevertheless truthful ex pression by Pope that "'Tii education forms the common mind. Just as the twig Is bent, the tree is in clined. And It is seen from the thought con FIRST PRIZE NEW $350 PIANO And Over $7,000 Worth of Additional Prises Fair ani interestin.

Commenting on an Item in the Stan dard concerning the bill presented to the assembly at Hartford to establish another insane hospital for the state this time 1n Fairfield county, the Nor wich Bulletin says: It should be borne in mind that the insane hospital at Norwich is only in the formative stages. The fact that it is crowded to its utmost simply shows the necessity for rushing the work. More buildings are needed, and the present legislature will see that a suitable appropriation is made to pro mote the work. It is a good idea to complete this institution before another is begun.

HALF A MILLION LOSS BY SHANNON BUILDING FIRE Five Story Structure Leveled to the Ground and Adjoin ing Property Badly Damaged Mr. Shannon will Erect New Euilding Tenants Had Close Call from Horrible Death Firemen Did Long and Faithful Service $100 Gift to Department. "Just as was expected," seemed to be the general verdict of the people after viewing the destroyed Shannon building on Tuesday, showing that many had figured out In their minds about what would happen If the build ing ever burned. It was considered by Chief Stanton to be one of the 'worst places to fight a fire In the citynd for that reason much study had been given it in anticipation of just what happened. "The fire was fought," said Chief Stanton, "just as it had been planned, and I am satisfied that the department did all that possibly could be expected of it. Each company knew what to do for a fire in that building, and they did it, and the results are no more than were anticipated, as It was always marked as a doomed build ing should: a fire ever get a headway." After being on the ground nineteen hours. Chief Stanton left the ruins with six men to guard them for the night at 9 o'clock and two streams of water were then being played on the burning debris. The escaping com pressed air from a broken pipe In the ruins gave forth a sound I'ke escaping steam throughout the afternoon anr" evening, it being Impossible to get tr the valvo to shut it off. It is estimated that the loss will b between $400,000 and $500,000, it being RUINS OF SHANNON BUILDING Imposslbla to tell anywhere near a close amount. The Shannon building is a mass of ruins, nothing being left but the walls after the fire had been gotten under control, and as they were dangerous the walls were pulled down during the afternoon. The one-story building of the Plaut-Cadden company was wreck ed by falling walls, while the two up per stories of the Chelsea bank build ing are a mass of ruins, the addition at the rear of the Chelsea bank build ing being also gutted. There was little opportunity for the firemen to do anything to check me fire in the Shannon building, but In holding- in chiefly in that building was the effort of the department, and their success won much commendation. At 6.4 2 the recall was sounded, but the fire was by no means out at that tlma, although checked and with no likeli hood of its spreading. The cause of the fire is still as rmrcn of a mystery as ever. Dr. Harris Is of the oninion that It was caused by rats chewing off the insulation of electric wires near the elevator ana air snarts. there havine been several small fires of fin unexplainable nature there. There was considerable excitement after the upper floors had fallen In and some of those acquainted with the buildinsr bmran to recall that thev had not seen Mrs. Ann W. Coe"shalI and the report was current that she was in the fire. This was soon disproved. rs she had been seer to come down the rear fire escape and had gone to the home of William H. Cardwell on Main street. She was aroused by the flr-i and managed to save some of her clothing. But for their maid, Mrs. T.vflla Beetham. arouslne them, Tr. Harris says that he and his wife might be at For That Tired Feeling Take Smith's Beef, Iron and Wine This excellent remedy Is prepared from Selected Sherry Wine, the virtues of which are enhanced by the addition of Beef Food, chosen with special re gard to its high percentage of nitro genous matters, and a Salt of Iron which has proven Itself most easy of assimilation.

Made By The Drug Man, Franklin Square, Norwich, Ct. febSd SMITH the bottom of the ruins now. Mrs. Beethatn was aroused either by the noise of the flames or by shouting, she cannou tell which, but upon opeping the door a sheet of flames filled the doorway and she at once gave the alarm to Dr. Harris and his wife. Their son was not at home, being at his grandmother's in Preston. Mrs. Harris got out first In her night clothes and barefooted, and In walking around in back of the building cut and bruised her feet badly before getting to the Wauregan house. The doctor had lit tle clothing and was loaned an over coot when he stt-uck the ground. Mrs. Reetham and Mrs. Coggshall came down the fire escape at that time. Dr. Harris states that he carried but about $2,600 Insurance, which will not cover his loss by a half. He was able to save nothing. Dr. and Mrs. Harris are now stopping with Mr. and Mrs. John Rogers. Miss Fannie Gibson, whose room was in the second floor, was aroused by Uie fire, and upon opening the door -eallzed the situation, and securing a Iresslng g"own and bathrobe, besides ,er shoes, she hurried into the hall, ind being directed by C. C. Eldredge's oice as he was escaping from his com, she reached the stairway and hurried to the rooms of her father, A S SEEN FROM FRONT OF WAUREGA NHOUSE AFTER THE WALLS WERE DOWN. D. F. Gibson, in the Central building. A. F. Borman, the photographer, had rooms on the top floor. As soon as arousJ he fled to the fire escape at the rtr, and. breaking a window, got out upon the ladder. He had no chance by the inside way, and was able to get only the clothes he wore. His photographic outfit was entirely destroyed at a loss of about $,1,500. He had a partial insurance. He was arous ed by the smoke. In breaking the window he cut his hand somewhat, but not seriously. The five men In the Shetucket club, besides the steward, had been dis cussing how they would escape if there was a fire, and before they had a chance to put their plan Into opera tion, such a means of escapo had been cut off, and they were forced to the rear fire escape and reached the ground safely. The others who were taken out as told in Tuesday's paper suffered no bad effects after a short rest John N. Mascott and brother es caped from the second floor, where they had rooms. They could only get their clothing and the rear fire escape saved their lives. The furnishings of his room was not insured and their loss will be $400. On his candy kitch en he carried an Insurance of 14,500, but his loss will be $5,000. Had New Store in an Hour. When J. C. McPherson arrived at the fire he took in the situation at a glance. Hastening Into the store he secured his books and a few articles and locked up again. He then crossed to the Wauregan house, where he at once leased the vacant store in the Wauregan building and had the quar ters secured within an hour after the fire started. His entire stock of new spring hats was entirely consumed and his loss will be $14,000. He had a partial insurance. E. E. Fuller of Tolland, grand mas ter of the grand lodge, F. and A. M., of Connecticut, has an office with W. F. Hill, but he was unable to get to the building from his room at the Y. M. C. A. dormitory in time to 6ave anything. He had not left there until midnight, when everything was all right. He lost much valuable Masonic data, including much belonging to his lodge in Rockville. The grand lodge records had been sent away a short time ago. His loss will reach $500 and he carried no Insurance William F. Hill offered $50 to the man who would raise a ladder to his office. He finally got to his office by that means and had secured a por tion of his property, including his forms, and In a few minutes more would have had some important books but he was forced to leave before he wished and what was left was de stroyed. His position was dangerous, owing to the falling glass and burn ing wood. His son Andrew was struck but not badly hurt. Dr. F. J. Harper took his emergency case home with him Monday night, and that Is all that he saved. He lost his diplomas, surgical Instruments and collection of medical works. He car ried no insurance. Miss Adles carried no insurance on her property, nor did Dr. F. C. Atchison, who was out of town, being in the south, attending the College of Physicians and Sur geons at Baltimore. Broker Gllflllen has a partial insurance, as has Dr. E. J. Jones. Mrs. Williams Got Steamer. JVTien It was evident that the serv ices of the Yantio steamer would be required, Captain Linton was asked to call W. T. Williams and ask for Its services. He called his house, but Mrs. Williams stated that Mr. Wil liams is out of town, but she stated that If the engine la really needed I will do my best to get it started. She had the men assembled and the steam er was on Its way to the city, where it did effective service, being station ed In Franklin square, taking water from the cistern, a did Engine No. 1 of the city. Engine No. 2 of Greene vllle took water from the hydrant in front of the Metropolitan hotel. All three gave effective Btreams. The Yantlc steamer was sent home about 7.30 and the front wheels were a mass of ice. Chief Stanton stated that in the plans for fighting the fire in that building the order was 'for the en gines to take water from the square. They obeyed the orders and the meas urement of the reservoir the middle of the forenoon showed that the draught on that body of .water did not lower it over a quarter of an inch. The firemen were furnished hot cof fee and sandwiches by the Parker Da venport Co. and George Drlscoll and the Del-Hoff hotel and others fur nished hot coffee. Reid Hughes' Loss. G. F. Hughes and Mr. and Mrs. John R. Hughes of Waterbury arrived here on Tuesday, having been inform ed of the fire 'by telephone. Mr. Hughes stated in the evening that it was im possible to give any Idea of the loss they had sustained. The stock In the annex Is, of course, totally destroyed. The fire crept through a hole where the cash system ran from the annex Into the main building, and then for a distance of 25 feet In the silk de partment burned considerably but oth erwise there was but little fire in the main building. The portion leased from the Plaut-Cadden Co. went down with the Shannon building wall and all is gone, there. In the main build ing the stock was badly wet down, but there was little fire there. The heater was kept going all the time and the broken windows had all been boarded up by night. It will be a case of wait for the Insurance adjusters now, said Mr. Hughes, and untip we can get at the vault and get the inventory papers it will be impossible to tell what the loss will be. The millinery department had been made Into the annex. It is estimated that the company's loss will be about J150.000. which is mostly cov- ered by insurance. We have been In such situations before, stated Mr, Hughe, and this will not discourage us. We shall be doing business just as soon as possible. In Waterbury we were entirely burned out in the big hre there. In Chelsea Bank Building. The fire made a clean sweep through the offices of the Attawaugan com pany, Totokett Mills Co., Falls and Shetucket companies, burned out the room formerly occupied by Jerome Williams and the floor of that with the other debris fell Into the office of B. P. Learned Co. These offices were reached from the Shannon building stairway, a fire door being between the buildings. In the Chelsea bank the damage is only from water. The of fices have taken temporary quarters elsewhere and the Chelsea bank Is do lng business at the Norwich Savings society building. In the Shannon building. J. F. Park er's loss will be about $500, which Is covered by Insurance. Most of the valuable papers are in the safe, which Is now In the cellar. Many papers, however, were destroyed. Charles P. Cogswell and Gilbert L. Hewitt had desk room there and they lost their rurnlture and papers. Appreciated Their Work. Having called on the firemen several times to throw a stream onto the Wau regan house when the cornice was al most ablaze and blistering. Manager Davenport was pleased at the occasion al attention which could be given to the building and which prevented it catching fire, and during the dav sent to Chief Stanton the following letter ana a cnecic r?r siuo: Enclosed please find our check for one hundred dollars ($100), which you will please accent as present from us to the fire department as a token of our appreciation of the excellent work done by thein in handling the fire this morning. Stairs Were Redhot. The heat was so intense that the marble stairway at the Shetucket street entrance was redhot and the windows in the store of John Moran and in the Wauregan house were cracked by the heat. It was impossible to hold one's hand on the windows in the house at Frank Plummer, corner of Laurel Hill avenue and Summer street, so hot was the glass, and the shower of sparks kept the household ers busy on that side of the river watching their roofs. On one there were four men. The grass near the railroad bridge caught fire and burned, while sparks floated Into Pojuetanurk. After the electric right and electric ear currents had been shut off for safety. Superintendent Rogue of the pas and electric plant had men dig down to th pas main and shut that off in Main street, fearing that the water In the cellar would rise to a helpht sufficient to run into the pipe and flood the main. The larse telesrrnph pole at the cor ner of Main and Shetucket streets was plven mucb attention. This poV held the wires which control the entire fire alarm system, as they run from that in nil directions. By occasionally play ing upon that pole, despite the fierce heat, It was possible to save it and the wires uninjured and the fire alarm Is In perfect order and the electric light on it working as usual. Only One Injury. A remarkable fact In connection with the tire was that no one was in jured seriously. The only accident of any consequence occurred to Captain Connell of Chemical company. No. 1. He was coming down a lodderwben a lineman with spurs f ollowed bin, Indigestion Goes In Five Minutes IF YOU WOULD TAKE SOME NOW ALL STOMACH MISERY WOULD GO.

There is general thanksgiving that there was no loss of life in the fire, and considering the big headway the '-n escapes were all the more remarkable. Lost His Bankroll. Pmf T-nweth was aroused soon after the alarm was given, the police and firemen going about and opening an the-doors possible and breaking in those which were locked. Prof. Loweth was stairgereo ty tne smone ior a min ute and going out into the hall to learn the trouble became confused and was unable thereafter to locate nis vest. In one of the, pockets he states that he bad a roll of bills containing t:50 which went up In smoke. He was for saving some of the .palntinrs in his studio at the start, but quickly abandoned that and considers that he got out none too soon himself, as he would have been overcome In a few- minutes more. J. B. Shannon Will Rebuild Immedi ately. As previously stated, Mr. Shannon was at the fire early. He felt the loss of his building greatly and thought that a steamer should have been sta tioned at the rear and thought that STOP YOUR COUGH with Hale's Honey of Horehound and Tar Loosens the Phlegm Allays the Irritation Arrests the Tickling Soothes and Heals rifce'a Toothache Drepa Core in One Minute FULLER'S Insurance Agency.

If water could have been used at the rear he considered the Chelsea bank addition could have been saved. Mr. (Shannon states that he will re build nt once. He was in consultation with his architect during Tuesday af ternoon and will erect a reinforced con. crete building thoroughly fireproof. He plans to start upon it at once and the structure he hopes can be erected In three months' time. He cannot tell whether the layout of the stores will be the same as In the old building as yet, that not having been determined upon. It will be planned for the pur poses of the old building. The old brick will be trimmed up and can be used In the new building, while the iron supports on the ground floor are uninjured and ran ba used In the new building. It is probable there will be the same tenant as previous to the fire. The new building will be fireproof and a credit to the corner. Plaut-Cadden Building. The loss on the Plaut-Cadden build ing Is estimated as total, being about $10,000, with an insurance of $4,500 to $5,000. The oommany will rebuild there and probably erect a building three or four stories in helgM. plans for which will be gotten out as soon as possible. In the Drug Store. Major Stelner was called to his pharmacy early Tuesday morning and had just readied his home when the fire alarm sounded. He went back at once and going into his store secured his prescription books to the number of four. He took a prominent part, to gether with First Lieutenant Adams of Fort Jay, in rescuing people from the building. He was unable to get into his safe and that went into the cellar and so did his stor k, that corner beinsr the last to burn. He was In sured and Is having his business tend ed to at Lee Osgood's. Lewis' newsstand was the last store to catch and that burned fiercely as the papers and bonks cau.ht. Nothing was saved from there. The valuable books of the St. Joseph sodality were saved by the vice president, but the fire was checked before It reached their rooms. Apollo Hall Fire. The fire was almost on the fortieth anniversary of ttie burning of Apollo hall, which was where the Boston store building now is. That burned Feb. 14, 1S69, and was the first fire at which Chief Stanton did duty. He was but a lad then, but was one of the active firemen. Postoffice Sub-Station.

Bo gardus, who had been found guilty of murder in the second degree by the jury last week. There were no appeals made by Bogardus' counsel, and the state's attorney did not address the court.

Bogardus took tne sen tence calmly and returned to the pris oner's pen. Jurasz Jury Completed.

Grisvvoldi Morgan of Salem and Cal Half Million Lost By Shannon Building Fire, (Continued from Page Five.) station in the Boston store annex will probably not amount to over 2200, as F. J. King managed to save some of them. The mail was removed from the two boxes in front of the entrance uninjured except slightly by water. Postmaster Caruthers having notified Wasnington, expects an inspector here from Boston today to adjust the mat ter. The sub-station is in the mean time transferred to Smith Engler's pharmacy in the Wauregan building. Reservoir Lost But Little. Together with the regret for loss of property there was much regret at the amount of water being taken from the reservoir and from the comment upon It there would be a possibility of drawing the reservoir dry. A measurement showed that the reser voir was but a quarter of an inch lower Tuesday forenoon than on Mon day morning, so the loss was small. Superintendent Burnap of the water department made this statement to The Bulletin Tuesday afternoon. The reservoir at 11.30 o'clock Monday morning registered 204 1-4 Inches down from high water mark. At 9.30 o'clock Tuesday morning the reservoir showed 204 1-2 Inches down. This shows a loss of one-quarter of an inch used by the regular consumers and for that used at the fire in the Shannon building. The loss In pressure was caused by the break when the walls fell in the watfr servlres in the Chel sea Savings 'bank, Shannon building and Boston store. The greatest loss was from the six-Inch cast iron main which enters the Shannon building breikln? off. causing a loss in presur of 10 pounds. This mnin was shut off as soon as It was possible to get at it pnd the pressure Immediately rose so that it registered 73 pounds per squnre inch, the nnrmnl pressure. The hy drants at thi point In the city were all in first class condition, they hav ing been recently Inspected. Messrs. Lester and Geer. F. W. Lester and Charles C. Geer had a studio In the building, and their loss was total, with no insurance. Mr. Lester had a violin there worth 2100. which he treasured highly and which was destroyed, together with his oth er instruments and music. Mr. Geer also lost much music. There were several explosions in the building 'during the progress of the fire. In the northeast corner there seemed to be a box of cartridges while In the basement of Steiner's pharmacy the soda tanks burst with loud reports. The falling of the sev eral safes through the floors to the cellar caused big commotions, but It is believed that all will be found in tact and the contents preserved. The fire did not get Into the photo graphic studio of W. R. Stevens, but when the east wall of the Shannon building fell It went through the roof and his studio is filled with brick and plastering. There was some water there, but his loss will not be heavy. He carries an insurance of $1,000. Pulled 'Down the Walls. Early in the afternoon, as soon as the fire had been quenched so that It waa possible to work about the walls, Henry Davis, an artist in the business, began the work of pulling down the walls. At the rear some of the wall had fallen, but It took the tugging of an engine several times to get the remainder to earth. The brick fell across the railroad track into the riv er, the splash reaching to the other side. The climbing of the walls was no easy job, but Mr. Davis Is thoroughly at home at such work and had the capable assistance of Ernest Latimer. He was witnessed by a large crowd in his work. The two front walls were pulled in and fell without any damage to adjoining property or person. The east wall was next razed and fell just where it was wanted. A New Yorker, watching Mr. Davis and his work, re maked that he was a man any city should be proud of. and instead of be ing here ha should be drawing a good fat salary in some large city. The walla were pulled down to guard against the danger of their falling and injuring any passers by. The walls were down by 3. SO o'clock. The brick at the back falling across the track were tackled by a gang of men during- the afternoon and thrown over the wall by the riverside where they can be cleaned. The railroad track was covered to the depth of sev eral feet, and it was Impossible to reach the freight shed. Many Telephones in Building. The Are caused the discontinuance of 43 telephones, there being a branch exchange in tha Boston store, while l&e othaas were distributed la the Two Fatal Blows Mis Life Bogardus Sent to Took Sentence Calmly. vin York of Griswold were excused by the state. As the twelfth man Richard Bushnell was selected. There were 13 men not called, and they were excused until next Tuesday. The jury was sworn in and the In formation read to them regarding the case. The huge stone which was tak en off the woman's body while In the mud hole, was brought into the court room and placed the lawyers' table as an. exhibit Witnesses Heard. George E. Pitcher, civil engineer, was the first witness and testitied to the locality, which is secluded. He explained a map of the place. Sheriff Sidney A. Brown testified to goinr to the farm on September 19 and searching with C. B. Smith, Sher iffs Tubbs and Martin. Ha found a shoe near the wall. There was a gap in the wall and it looked as if several stones were missing there.. He un derstood the mate of the shoe had been found in the house. On Monday, September 21. another visit was made at which time there was large par ty w ho searched the swamp thorough ly and the body was found. When lie arrived at tha spot, he said, the stone had been removed from the body and one knee stuck up through the water. The 'body was taken out and about 126 feet from that slough hole was the place where the rock was taken from. Dr. H. M. Leo of New London, who performed the autopsy the day after the body was found, told of the con dition and of the wounds, there being one on the right side of the head near the nose four and ,a half Inches long and one two inches long on the right eyebrow. She was a woman in good health, and death did not result by drowning. Both wounds were fatal and death Instantaneous. He was shown a flat stone and said that the wounds might have been caused by any side of the stone. Dr. Joslah G. Ely of Lyme, medical examiner of the town, testified to be ing called to the Jergowitz farm on September 21 and was conducted to the edge of Evergreen swamp, where the body was found. It was In a good state of preservation, the water being cold. He recognized her as Jennie Yerkiewiscz. He described the wounds which he said were fatal. Court was adjourned at this point until 10 o'clork this morning, the ex amination of Dr. Ely not being com pleted. many offices and stores. These were cut off during the day from the cable manhole. All the instruments were burned. The electric service to New London, West Side and Laurel Hill was block ed, as the current was shut off soon after the fire had gotten underway. Montville cars were sent as far as Thames square, but the other lines were not opened. There were many who had to walk to their work on Tuesday morning. The single track cj.ic lu uiccuevuic was iiiaiiiia-jiieu "until afternoon when the double track ser.lce was started. The Yantic line opened at 9.30 a. m. The Montville and West Side cars were running as far as Moran's store during the day, until 4.45. when the first Montville car when through, it being possible to clear up the hose by that time and at five o'clock the West Side cars be gan going through. A car was al lowed through on the Laurel Hill run and did service there, only not pass ing the burning building. Bulletin Brought the News. To a very large number The Bulle tin brought the first news ot the big fire and there was a wild scramble then to get a peep at the damage done. Many failed to hear the alarm and slept through it all, while there were a few who, not coming into the city until afternoon, were surprised to find the corner a mass of wreck age. It was impossible to draw water on the hills 'in the early morning, owing to the action of the engines, but that was soon overcome as soon as the pressure was returned by shutting off the break in the building. The fire burned in the cellar all night and firemen stayed there, playing wa ter on it. An attempt will probably be made today to get at the safes by some of the owners. Water penetrated through into the Thames bank building at the rear, coming into the law offices of J. J. Desmond on the second floor and down into the office of President S B. Meech of the bank. There was a wild scramble for offices by those who were burned out and option after option was given. Those with offices to rent came to the front at once at this op portunity for tenants. The Tenants. The tenants in the building were the following: First floor James C. McPherson, hatter and men's furnishings; James N. Mascott, Boston Candy Kitchen; F. C.

The illustrated talk on "Ascent of Mt. Toluca and Mt. Popocatepetl" given by Mrs. Edmond O. Hovey on Tueaday evening at the Norwich club house under the auspices of the Mt Horyoke Alumnae association, proved both highly entertaining and instruc tive. The charming personality of the speaker and her vivid and racy ac count of personal adventures added to the pleasure afforded by the excellent photographs from Mr. Hovey's camera. Mr. Hovey is a geologist and curator of the Natural History museum In New York. In Mexico the congress attended by geologists and delegates from various colleges lasted for two weeks, but- the party spent several more week visiting- various toint of interest. They lancted at Vera Crue. The rarty found Mexico situated on a high plateau sur rounded by high mountains. The city is threaded by Las Vcgaa canal, which is to the poor people the means of transporting their marketable products. The poor people have an odd burial with a public coffin hired for the occa sion. The dead are burled in a plot leased for Are years. At tha end at that time if the relatives are unable or unwilling to renew the lease the bodies are removed to a crypt and hung up on the wall for five more months, with the name attached to notify the relatives. If they do not pay for reburial the body Is then burned. The party was entertained by Presi dent Diaz at his palace. Toluca is a half a day's ride northwest from Mex ico.' Here began the fourteen hour donkey ride up the mountain. At the end of a days ride they were 10,000 feet up and the expression of one poor I fellow: "Oh, Lord, for a graveyard or a hotel, and I don't care which," voiced the aentiments of the party. The cold was Intense. The party of forty or more men and three women passed the night In the ehelter provided. The morning light showed the clouds be- low them and the sky a glowing mass of purple and pink. Riding from 4 a. m. until about 1 p. m., fhey reached i an altitude of 14.000 leet, wnere breathing was difficult for man and beast. The trip to Popocatc-petl was made bv Mr. and Mrs. Hovey and five gen tlemen. They carried three days' pro visions, chiefly tea, crackers and sweet chocolate, and all the clothing the don keys could carry. At 14.000 feet alti tude they passed the night at the shel ter and started In the darkness for the last climb, which was very slow and painful. Mrs. Hovey's strength failed bpfore she quite reached the top and she wa obliged to return to the shel ter with her guide. An exhausted member of the party said on his re turn: "The Lord never meant a man to go so rtlgh!" Y. M. C. A. WOMAN'S AUXILIARY. Enjoyable Programme Given After Regular Business Meeting.

Merrill's apartments at the association building, having a large attendance, and the vice president, Mrs. W. L. Stearnj, presiding in the absence of the president, Mrs. Costello Lippitt.

The afternoon concluded with a pro gramme which Included two duets by Mrs. Merrill and Charles D. Geer, a soprano solo by Mrs. Merrill and a group of songs by Mr. Geer which were greatly enjoyed. There were also- two expressively rendered violin solos by Rev. Donald B. MacLane of Taftvllle, who was accompanied by his wife, and Mrs. W. E.

Enjoyable Time Held at Home of Mr, and Mra. O. E. Ryther. The Round Table held its regular meeting Tuesday evening with Mrs. Ormau E.

Fellows,, who was unable to attend, Edwin A. Tracy took up her toric of "Latest from tha Bur ied Cities," giving it much of personal interest, as he had trave!.through The places he ssoke of. There was an ex cellent papttr upon "Italian Musio" by Mrs. W. T. Thayer, in which she was assisted In her illustrations by Miss Ethel F. Worth, Miss Mabel S. Clark, and Wentworth Prentice, violin, as well as several members of the club. A paper upon "The Italian Novels of F. Miuricn Crawfora." read by Mrs. Jo seph F.
