At the Auditorium for the first of the week George Kleine presents in moving pictures Quo Vadis (Whither Thou goest, Lord) In three acts and eight parts. This picture all the way through shows the characteristics of ancient Roman! their wonderful houses and exquisite architecture. It depicts Nero, the tyrant emperor, last of the Caesars, who for inspiration to write a poem burns the city of Rome and accuses the Christians of the act and orders them to the lions. The treatments of slaves and servants at banquets and public places is vividly shown. The scene of the imperial ban- quet gives an excellent idea of the so- ciety of the time just before the fall The burning of the city seems almost real, the beautiful homes and public buildings tumbling down with tongues of fire licking through the ruins; with people running about in a tumult. The few Christians of the city hold secret meetings in caves un- der the leadership of St. Peter, and how they are persecuted is a scens of cruelty. Petronius, Nero's favorite, with his slave, BEunice, die together before they would lay their hands on the Christians. The scene of the Christians waiting for the approach of the lions in the great amphitheater is very ex- citing. Ursus, the giant servant to Lygia, is a fine example of a servant’s love for his mistress. When the people find out that Nero set the city afire they arise in revolt. In the meantime Nero kills himself before he would be taken ® prisoner. Peter, leaving the city as it is burning, has a vision of Christ, who tells him' to return, so he obeys and enters the cit; FUNERRAL Gotfried Nadoiney.

He had been in poor health for several years. His condition took .‘ decided change for the worse about & month_ago, when he last appeared at the office. He was a long sufferer with rheumatism and death resulted from & complications of troubles. Captain Harris was born at Preston, Conn., March 17, 1835, the son of John Hempstead Harris d Mary Ann Williams Harris. Through this de- |scent he was connected with a great many of the old families of New Lon- don and vicinity, his ancestor, Walter Harris having settled in that town about 1660. Five succeeding genera- tions remained in New London. Charles grew to hood in Preston and Norwich, and after engaging in business with his father for @ short time, he followed his older brother, John, to Michigan, looking for an opening of business. About that time the war broke out and he enlisted in the Seventh Michigan infantry, re- ceiving his commission as second lieu- tenant June 24, 1361.
