The Volunteer Organist, which comes to the Broadway theater on Saturday, Nev, 13, matinee and night, is a pas- toral play-of ten years’ appreciatjon by the .theatergoing public and bids fair to- outlive all of its contemporaries. Every effort has been made by the management to free this play from the usual melodramatic devices which are sQ conspicuons in so-called pastoral plays. The constant endeayor of the author was to write a quietly moving play which would be fally clean and moral in its tone. t these qual- ities are duly appreciated by the public 4s evidenced by the liberal patronage extended to the play during its ten years of success. Third -Degree Cancels Date. The Third Degree, which was to ap- ear the Broadway theater tonight, Kn cancelled the engagement and will not show there. Manager Jackson re- cel ed a telegram Thursday night say- ng the company could not come to Norwich on, account of a change in booking. Occasionally such changes are made, but usually far euough In advance 50 the local managers are not plaved in an embarrassing position with the ppatrons of the theater. The company will come here later in the season. Those who have purchased tickets will have money refunded by .p:sentlng them at the theater ticket office. THE AUDITORIUM. Steady after day stamps the approval of the theatergoers on the bill running at the Auditorium the present week. Mickie Feeley, the wonderful little tumbler, who- lets a thirty-five- pound table fall on his bare head at every ance, keeps the audience in fits of laughter during his pantomime work and In amazement during his dare-devil dives and falls. Dan Barrett, the original Irish come- dian, is a scream throughout the entire wketch presented by himself and com- increase in attendance day given Miss hand out a breezy line of snappy sto- ries interspersed with burlesque melo- drama epigrammatic. The last two days of the week Miss Morrelle will render Love's Dream, The most wonderful trick picture ever produced will be shown Friday and Saturday only and is anmled Ppincess Nicotine, which has caused pany. The cordial reception Rose at every performance proves that the public of Norwich.have made her a favorite. Her finished technigue and clever interpretation of musical mas- terpieces wins deserved appreciation. ch and Rioch, The Pattering Pair, more discussion among phot phers than any other.

Mystery M the Sleeper Trunk, Sensa- The great smuggling picture entitled of the. S Trunk was d lighted audi- ence last evening at the Breed theater, and the thriling and sensation ai ts that follow each other in rapid on’ make the picture ‘one of @reat interest.

A family in the interior, a few miles distant from the village of @roton,.is just recovering a normal state of mind after a mistake in the operation of a new cook stove. The stove was in- stalled by a merchant from a nearby village, who informed the family in the way of a joke, that the oven thermometer, a modern contrivance for registering _the temperature of the interior of the oven, was a clock, a positively new idea, which would strike loudly when the article under the baking process was ready to be removed. The statement appeared plausible, as the face of the thermom- eter was numbered to 12, and had every appearance of a timepiefe. The idea that this assertion would be taken for full value did not occur to the merchant and he gave the joke no more thought. A few days after the stove had been given a thorough trial the head of the household made his appearance at the-merchant’s place of business in a towering rage. The merchant, after listening to a lengthy tirade, pleasantly asked his visitor the cause of his agitation. “Well,” was the reply, “that darned stove you sold me has burned up everything my wife has tried to cook and we ain't had anything fit to eat for .two or three -days. The pesky clock ~ don’t. strike.” ‘Then the mechanism of :the thermometer was explsined.—New London Telegraph. COMPU LSORY VACCINATION Ended in lr-dgopart Sehoolo—!o-rd of Education Retcinds Rule. A Bridgeport paper says: Compulsory vaccination among the pupils of the public schools is an ob- solete rule and Major Boudren and the members of the Anti-Vaccination so- ciety, who made a fight for just this end before a meeting of the board some months ago, can now rejoice. At the meeting of the board of education on Monday evening all rules appertaining to vaccination previously adopted were rescinded. At one time a rule was in force that all children entering the schools must be vaccinated. This prevailed for many years. Then came the agitation against compulsory vaccination led by Thomas W. Boudren. A modification of the rule resulted and where parents sent a personal letter to the superin- tendent to the effect that they objected to vaccination the child was permitted to. enter. The superintendent read a number of these lettens Monday even- ing and it was found that to compile a list of the children whose parents object to them being vaccinated any one where children are vaccinated would require a big corps of special clerks. After discussing the matter, Dr. Monahan suggested that all previous rules on the subject be rescinded and the motion was carried. The physician state@ that in the eg‘nt of a conta- gion the matter could be handled but at this time the board has one rule while the parochial schools have an- other and it appeared all children should be treated alike. The vote to rescind was unanimous, although At- torney Cullinan stated that in spite of the action of the board of education the board of health could come in at any time and under a state law compel the school children to be vaccinated. FRUIT-GROWING STATE. ns in Connecticut as Favora- At the annual meeting of the Con- necticut te board of trade, held at New Haven recently, one of the prin- cipal addresses was made by J. H. Hale, his subject being: What Are the Possibilities of Connecticut as a Fruit Growing State? Mr. Hale said in part: The farmers and the people of Con- necticut are just beginning to wake up to the possibilities of this old state in that direction. Perhaps I ought not to say the farmers are, because they are not the only ones that are waking up. But all New England is waking up and when gentlemen like you, repre- senting the boards of trade, manufac- turing, commercial and financial in- terests of the state, finally wake up to the importance of agriculture and. horticulture to a state like Conneeti- cut, as I see you are doing from the fact that you have met this topic on your programmte, there is going to be _something doing. It is time, ‘We know a good deal more than we did a few years ago. We have got as favorable a climate as ‘any settion of America. We bave got good soil and all conditions taken together are as favorable for fruit raising right here in Connecticut as anywyhere "in the country. Climate and Soil Good. We hhve a great variety of soil in our valleys, on our plains, and on our hills, admirably adapted for fruit- growing, and the good Lord has given us a greater variety of climatic con- ditions, most of which are favorable to the industry, as can be found any- where on earth. On top of that we have some wonderful streams of water in Connecticut. In New England we have not half appreciated what a tremendous advantage it is to have streams of water such as’ we have here. The time will come, gentle- men, when the streams of New Eng- land will be used to develpp its agri- culture. We shall begin to-irrigate, and get wonderful results. Take any .standard fruit that can be grown in this state at all, and we can it to-a higher state of per- fection on the hills of New England than it can be grown anywhere else in America. I am willing to make that statement anywhere. I will admit we do not do it. There is where the trouble is. We do not take advantage 6f our opportunities. NEW TRUSTEE At Trinity College—William G. Ma- ther of Cleveland Elected to the Board. Announcement has .been made that at the meeting of the trustees of Trin- ity college, held October 30, Willlam G.
