Quite out of the ordinary is the re- markable film at the Breed today, en- titled The Irish Girl's Love. It is one of the popular Lubin productions, and a8 a consequence the action takes place before some of the most beautiful spots on the coast. Kathleen, the vil- lage belle, has two lovers, and being pressed for an answer to both, gives each a ring and tells them she will wed the first one to place one of the rings on her finger, a year from that day. A ship is wrecked on the day in question, and hastening to the shore she finds her fisher-lover dead, with the ring on a cord around his neck. True to her promise, she sends word to. her other lover that Brian has re- turned. Poet and Peasant, a superb Vita- graph production featuring the fascin- ating Clara Kimball Young, is another of the big stories for today, and tells of the love of an artist for a little peas- ant maid. The trusting girl is led a wild chase by the wily lad from the city, and the whole plot is one of great beauty, and is bound to win the ap- | proval of the holiday audiences. AT THE AUDITORIUM. There is an all around fine bill an- the Auditorium the first| of this week, and all “hn‘ it have leff the theater | pleased with thefr hour and | a half's entertainment. Delmonico’s Upside Down, the title | of the comedy playlet presented by | Teed and LaZelle, is certainly a scream | throughout, and exceeds the speed lim it of a laugh a minute. Arthur Har-, ris, the young impersonator, is causing much favorable comment with his songs etc, while Adams and Terrell play their way into immediate favor and win much deserved applause for | their efforts. Today the Gaumont Weekly will show | many excellent pictures, mvludmg the | great Suffragette Parade in New York city a few weeks ago, when there were 20,000 women 1in line. Scenes from the Yale-Princeton football game, which took place a week ago last Saturday, will also be shown. Tomorrow (Thanksgiving day) there will be two shows in the afternoon, and the doors will open at 1.30. The sec- ond show will start at 3.30. An ex- cellent bill has been arranged, headed by Wil Archie & Co. THANKSGIVING SERVICE MUSIC. At the special Thanksgiving service at Park church Thursday morning at 11 o’clock the musical programme will be as follows: Organ prelude. . ..... MacFarlane Anthem, The Lord Hath Done Great Things for Us Offertory, trio, On Thee Each Living Soul Awalts, from The Creation, Haydn Soprano, Tenor and Bass. Organ postlude, Harvest Thdnl\sm\mg LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Suffrage C(;;wention. Mr. Editor: That human nature is| composed pretty nearly of the same elements, regardless of gender, was proven in the national convention of the Woman's Suffrage association, which is in session in Philadelphia. A decided difference of opinion arose over the fact that Jane Addams, an of- ficer of the association, had allied her- self with a political party and had been since dubbed the “Moses of Suffrage.” One faction claimed that it was against the interests of the association to be allied with any party as long as wom- en were denied the vote, while others held that the officers as individuals were free to do as they pleased. The discussion pro and con rose to a white heat and ‘it looked at one time as | though the opposing party might draw away, petulantly crying “I won't play in your yard again.” Reason mumph-, ed over party feeling and all is appar- | ently calmed. Rev. Anna Shaw, the president, said: “The members of the board who were in favor of the amend- ment to prevent in future the officers allying themselves with any political party are satisfied with the rule of the majority.” It is a satisfaction to know that however warm the discussion was there was no biting personal allusions, but all was fair and above board, and all personal feelings of disappointment were hidden away in the recesses of the soul, as was attested to on Sunday, when ‘a joyful Thanksgiving service was held in the Metropolitan house, attended by 5300 persons, while 4,000 disappointed ones were obliged to slake their thirsty hearts with such speakers as were chosen to address them outside jhe closed doors. Within such speakers as Miss .Jane Addams, Miss Julia Lathrop and other speakers quite as prominent held their audience spellbound. Miss Addams was unable to utter a word for fifteen minutes by the wild applause which swept through | the audience llke a cyclone when she rose to her feet, and when she did speak it was to pour out her womanly pleading for the vote for women, be- cause only through it could justice be obtained for women and children, so bitterly handicapped by the present inequality of the sexes. She emphasiz- ed the duty of women to concern themselves with the up to date prob- lems, such as clean streets, moral dance halls and other things equally as important to the welfare of the whole community, Miss Addams is one of the most forceful and influential speak- ers of the day, and no matter when or where she speaks, men and women alike flock to hear her. Miss Julla Lathrop, at the head of the national bureau of, child welfare, is coming rapidly to thé fore as an ef- fective speaker in behalf of woman's suffrage, as she sees the telling need of it in her work in behalf of the helpless child. The New York Sun of today emphasized her declaration that ‘““There is but one force in the United States today that is unalterably op- posed to our having the vote, This is the interest which controls the sale of Mquor in thig country, and it knows that as long as it can keep us from the ballot it is safe in the continuance of the practices upon which its very exlstence depends.” This tallies with the reports which come to us from Michigan, that it was the Milwaukee brewers and the large population which worked a it woman’'s su! The liquor interest there, as in Ohlo, fought des- influences, Hv- firagetts and every "I don't know what I do belisve” is throwing infiuence on the side of the two are dally undermining ORWICH, CONN, WEDNESDAY, NOV, 27, 1812 FULL ASSOCIATED PRESS DESPATCHES ADVERTISEMENT: under the heading of “WANTED, FOR SALE or TO RENT,” ARE INSERTED AT THE RATE OF 5¢ per line, six words to the line WANTED.

The thinking public can- not but be struck with the courtesy with which our papers all over the country are reporting the doings of the suffragist. They treat it with the respect due a vital interest which has become an integral part of daily life. No one will deny that newspapers are the pulse of modern thought and are “shaping our destiny, rough-hew them” as we may. MARINDA C. BUTLER ROBINSON.

So far as known to the United States geological survey the only bismuth-bearing ore produced in this country during 1911 was in La Plata county, Col, which carried 6 to 8 per cent. of bismuth. This ore, however, was sold for its gold and silver con- tent. Another lot of still richer ore was mined from a claim about 36 miles southwest of Tul N. M. The imports in 1911 amewunted fte 172,093 pounds, valued a $a2L771 | The chief feature of the year 1911 in Russia, from the agricultural point | of view, was the poor crops of eereals and grass, and as there are a great number of people engaged in agricul- ture and cattle breeding in Russia, the results were serious. The good crops of the preceding years, however, which increased the supply of cerealg in the country and steadied the position of the farmers, together with the ener< getic steps taken by the government, have to a certain degree ameliorated conditions.
