Vaudeville and Photoplay: There were well filled houses on Thursday at the Davis theatre for the change of bill in vaudeville and motion pictures and the new numbers were Tecelved with enthusiasm, and made a well rounded out performance for the the entertainment of those who at- tended.’ Some magic' somewhat out of the ordinary was revealed in clever form by Whiiney, who mingled con- siderable fun with his deceptive moves. Brown and Brown, a mixed comedy team in a singing and talking act were two who carried the crowd with them and brought out good hands, while Phil Morton as a character singing comedian was an able performer. The male - quartette, called the Peerless Comedy Four, two blackface and two whiteface, were thé hit of the bill and the encores they received strung the bill out until Manager rCaig had o insist on no more. There is an ompanying selection of films of photoplays full of entertainment. Manager Cralg was able to announce one feature for his Saturday bill as he is to have motion pictures of the Yale-Harvard boat race on the Thames.

MAKING THE REAL HOME Some one has called the real home a “happy combination of conditions.” It is just that. No one thing alone makes a home, but various elements happily combined. Naturally a factor in the combination is money. It is not so much the possession of money or the lack of it that counts as the way in which it is used. Generally speaking, men are the money getters, and women are the money spenders. This system puts a great responsi- bility on the women. The woman s, in the final analysis, the home maker, and if her home is to be a real one she must spend the family income wisely, be it great or small. There is no surer way for her to make each. dollar bring its full value of comfort and good cheer than by keeping herself informed as to what is in the market, where it is to be had, and at what price; by reading each day the adver- tisements in THE BULLETIN end other good . news- papers, £ WHEN you want te put your bus wnmefimu[ < “cave. : ness befers tne publie, thers 15 no m um ‘Botior thay ihreusgh the 4o arine celumns of Tha e Mr. and Mrs. Armand Demers are visiting relatives and friends in Bos- until Butler of Norwich and Miss Bessie Byrne of New York are ting their uncle and aunt, Dr. and Adams were in Middletown Thursday to attend the 43rd annual meeting of ‘been in Norwich, has Maurice Miss Anna Fitzpatrick of Clff street who has been seriously ill for the past Céruthers, then a sezond lieutenant in the 18th Comnecticut regiment, was mourned by Telatives and many friends as dead, the report having been receiv- ed that he had been killed at the battle of Winchester, June 14, 1862, and it was not until thrée months later, ‘when a telegram was received by Governor Buckingham _from Mr. Caruthers at Harper's Ferry, that the first report was corrected. Mr. Catuthers was seri- ously wounded In the battle and during the long time in_which no word was heard from him He was hovering tween life and death, a prisoner of the Confederates at Winchester. Dr. Charles M. Carleton and H. H. Starkweather went so:th in an attempt to recover Mr. Caruthers’ body, and Captain Porter, but were unable to get through the Confederate lines. Carries Porion of Bullet Yet. Mr. Caruthers never fully recovered from the wound which he received. In his right side he still carries a por- | i tion of the minie ball which tore | | through him, ana_above his right eye | there 1s a scar of a piece of a bullet received at “ne battle oi Newmarket in 1864, when ..e was three times wound- ed. 'All through the war Mr. Caruth- ers' record was ome of loyalty and bravery, and his worth was recogniz- | e by his comrade and superior offi- | cers. He was a first lieutenant at the close of the war. In Third and Eighteenth Connecticut. Mr, Caruthers enlisted at the first call for troops April 25, 1961, in the | Third Connecticut Volunteers, and served through his term of enlistment, being mustered out sugust 12, 1861 | His regiment saw more service and suffered greater losses at the first bat- tle of Bull Run than all the other Con- necticut ergiments. July 14, 1862, he re-enlisted, this time in the Eighteenth Connecticut, and was made quarter- master sergeant. November 9 the was | made orderly sergeant, and June 12, 1863, he was made second lieutenant. | Owing to the capture of mail by the | Confederates he served 19 months without receiving his commission, and during 11 months Lieut. Caruthers was in sole command. Fearful Wound at Winchester. The day following his promotion opened the battle of Winchester, in which the Eighteench was engaged. The battle lasted three days, and June | 14, the second day of the battle, was a | memorable one for Mr. Caruthers, as the thread of his existence was nearly broken. ~ Late in the day the company | was ordered to charge a brick house in which Confederate sharpshooters were located. The house was stormed and 17 prisoners taken. Returning from the charge and just before reaching the Union lines the lieutenant receiv- ed a terrible wound from a minie ball which broke two shert ribs, pierced the liver and went threugh his stomach, Left at Old Farm House. Surgeons considered his case hope- less, but he was taken in an ambulance, and when the Union forces were driv- en back he was left at an old farm house. Prisoner and Recaptured. For three days the little Union army of 6,100 had held back General Ewell's corps of 40,000 men, and on_ the ad- vance of the Confederates, Caruthers was made a prisoner and was placed | under guard at Taylor's hotel, at Win- chester, where he remalned untll one Sunday in August, when the Union troops again teok the town.

The two reached Harper's Werry, and Caruthers took a $2.50 gold piece from his watch chain, his last piece of Unit- ed States currency with the exceptiva of a dime, which he stlil preserves, and telegraphed Governor Buckinghaw. for assistance. Through Governcs Buck- ingham he was taken to a hospital at Baltimore, where he remained for a short time to recuperate before return- ing home. Given Glad Welcome Home. His arrival in this city was a wel- come' surprise, as he had been report- ed dead since the battle of Winches- ter three months previous, and at a memorial service his name had been read as one of teh dead. In October he was so far recovered that he re- turned to his regiment, and though but | a lieutenant, had sole commond of Company H in the campaign of '64. In the batfle of Newmarket, May 15, he was wounded in three places, but was back in service in two weeks. On the Gth of June in Hunter's rald he was wounded at the battle vt Piedmont, but continued with his regiment and _took part in the battle at Lexington, Va. Found His Wife in Virginia. While in Virginia Lieut. Caruthers became acquainted with Miss Snyder, whom he married shortly after the war. Following. the famous Hunter's raid through Virginia to Lynchburg, he was in baitles of Snicker’s Ford, Berryville, Kernstown and Winchester. In Jan., 1865, Lieut. Caruthers received his commission as first lieutenant. He was mustered out with his regiment June 27, 1885, having been in sole command of the company from October, 1863. Knew McKinley and Hayes. Mr. Caruthers tells of many exciting and intensely = interesting experiences which he shared with Captain Joe Rockwell, another Norwich boy. He also became on intimate terms with William McKinley and Rutherford B. Hayes, both of whom were later select- ed to fill the highest position within the gift of the nation. He also became ac- quainted with Major Harry Gilmore, a noted Confedrate ralder, a scion of one of Maryland's leading cld families. He was a prisoner at Fart McHenry ‘when they met. General Ely’s Letter. The following is from a letter of the late General Willlam G. Ely, Mr. Ca- ruthers’ former colonel: “My lively interest in Lieut. Caruth- ers dates back to the battle of Win- chester in 1863, when I erdered Com- regiment, of which he was an officer, to charge a brick house full of Con- federate sharpshooters, and to secure captives, they being needed to tell us how many troops General Early then had with him. The charge was a suc- cess. Company H brought out 17 pris- oners. Caruthers was shot through the hody. TLis wae only one of his many gallant acts that had won him uni- versal respect and confidence Made Postmastcr in 1889, Mr. Caruthers became a clerk in the local posteffice in 1870, was later pro- moted to assistant postmaster, and be- came postmaster in 1389, He has held this pesition ever since, except during the two terms of Cleveland's adminis= tration, when the position was filled by democrats. In one of these intervals he was employed as chief clerk in the office of the secrelary of state at Hart- ford. CCOMMITTEES TO CONFER ON DEVELOPMENT PLANS.

Fire Marshal Stanton Believes Big Board oh Chapman Building Would Be Dangerous. Thursday afternoen about 4.30 o'clock Fire Marshal Howard L. Stanton or- dered work stopped on the big sisn that was being erected on the roof of the Chapman building. facing Franklin square. At this point, which Is the place of most congested traffic in the city, he considered the erection of such a sign a menace to pubiic safety, and considered it was within his province to act, although he said the city ordi- nances governing his office as fire marshal do not specifically give him oversight of such signg. Having in- formation; he said, that other signs on other bulldings arqund the square were to follow this one, he thought it was time for him to act, and he believed public sentiment would be with him and was against an array of roof signs around Franklin square. On the side of danger to the public, the fire marshal said that he did not believe the roef of the building was any 0o strong to stand the strain of such a sign, when it is considered what a pull a high southeast wind might exert on it. The sign is well boited down to the roof, but it is a question in his mind whether the roof can bear the sign under all conditions, Sema time ago, the fire mahshal said, he was asked by the agent of the building whether there would e any objection to putting a sign on the roof, and he replied that there would not be. At that time nothing was said as to di- mensions, and now that he sees what the size of the sign is fu be, the situa- tion is different. It runs the entire length of the buuding and extends higher than the ridgepole of the roof. The fire marshal does not look upon it so much in the light of a fire hazard, for doors could be arranged in it by which the firemen could haul hose over the roof in case of necessity, but he thinks it is too risky at this point, in view of the crowds that habitually congregates on the sidewalk below. Tt is understood that the sign was to advertise a well known brand of flour. AT THE AUDITORIUM, Vaudeville and Moving Picture: In place of the musical comedy num- ber which has been the feature of the bill at the Auditorium each week for some time past, a mystery number. is the headline attraction during the last half of the week. Onaip and his float- ing piano are a combination which the spectator fails to figure out. The mo- tion_pictures are well selected and the leading film is the two-reel drama The Faith Healer. Onaip failed to arrive in time for the afternoon show, but in the evening he made a big hit with the audience and won a Dig response for his clever work. The plano is made to float ap- parently on air, revolves, moves up und down while the player, hypnotized, keeps up a running fire of popular se- lections, Kven when standing on his head in the air, with nothing viaible to keep him from dropping, he keeps the numbers coming without a hitch. Onaip also stands the plano player upright in the air, passing a hoop over his body to show that he is supported by no material substance. At O, P. A. K. Camp. Ralph D.

Copp of St. Louis, one of the occupants of the carriage, finish- ed_her testimony Thursday morning. She was followed by E. Fisk Brews: ster of Mystic, with whom - David Smith lived part of the time.z He tes- tifled that Smith went to bis home hv, day following the acciden was surprised at his appearane was so emaciated. i James E. Brown and John B. Copp were then put on the stand and they were followed by Dr. Edwin C, Chip- man of New London, who aitended Smith in his last iliness. He gave his ideas of the cause of Smith's death and his testimony wus opjected to repeatedly. Dr. Harry M. Lee followed him and ‘was questioned at length. In the court room while these two ‘physicians were on the stand were Doctors Patrick Cassidy, ¥. M. Hewes of Groton and Rush W. Kimball, They gave close attention to thé jestimony of the medical witnesses. To both the medical witnesses At- torney Hull put a long hypothetical question embodying all the external injuries and circumstances surmound- ing the accident to Mr. Smith and his subsequent sudden death 13 days iater. Under such circumstances he asked them what they would say was" the probable cause of death and they Doth replied brain lesion. The testi- mony and questions indicated that they wished to show that his skull had been fractured when he was thrown from the team and that this was the injury which caused his death. SOCIALIST SPEAKER. Norwich Local Vetes to Have Robert C. McCaleb Here. At the meeting of the socialist party”} held Thursday evening in the Stead building it was voted to hold an open air meéting at Rose place next Tues- day evening with Robert C. McCaleh of Milwaukee, Wis., state organizer of that state and a national lyceum lec- turer of the party, as the speaker. The subject of his ldeture will be The Peo- ple's Business. It was gtated that be- cause socialism is an International, a world-wide movement, the impression has prevailed with some that the American membership of the party is composed mostly of so-called foreign- ers. This, however, is not true. as the records of the party shew that 71 per cent. are American born, and of the remainder those who are naturalized are citizens by choice, met by acci- dent. Mr. McCaleb can be introduced to the Norwich public as a descendant of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, whose grandsire was active with Lovejoy and his under- ground railroad, and whose father was the youngest colonel in Grant's army. American ideals are bred in the bone of Mr. McCaleb and he believes that socialism is the practical fulfiliment of the hopes of our forefathers, He main- tains that the first steps toward social- ism are American and he therefore be- lieves one must be a goed socialist in order to be a good American citizen. Mr. McCaleb is an exceptional speak- er, a ready debater who is willing to meet anyone in debate. Press com- ments_state “Mr. McCaleb tells mure truth in a half hour than usual public speakers do in a week, and he puts it plain” Mr. McCaleb devotes the lat- ter part of his meeting to answering questions asked. At the next meeting it was voted to hold a debate as to whether a secial- istic government will come by violent or peaceful means. OBITUARY. Henry G. Huntingten.
