Mrs. Catherine Bates Bennett of ‘New Ro- chelle, N. Y., formerly of this city, was heard in the Danish lyric drama, King Rene’'s Daughter. This little drama, which has come down to us from the 15th century, and which is still a great tavorite in our larger cities, was most clearly portrayed. Mrs. Bennett proved a true artist and beld the rapt atten- tion of her audience by her charming, versatile and adept manner. Miss | Louise Fuller was heard in a piano solo which showed fine technique, and Miss Clara Worth in her sweet and rich voice rendered two solos, A Land of Roses and Amulets.

The wire is valued at 12 cents per pound. Resoiutions Against Burnett Bill. Branch 128 of the Workingmen's circlo of this city on Sunday adopted a set of resolutions protesting against the Burnett immigration bill now be- fore congress as an unjust measure. The circle furthermore sent a telegram to Hon. Champ Clark, speaker of the hbuse of representatives, Washington, D.

John A. Hoffman, the Niantic light tender for the New Haven railroad, discovered a broken rail early Tuesday morning near the Niantic drawbridge and came back and stopped a freight that was just coming. The section gang was sent for and put in a new rail. This is the second one he has discovefed within a short time and by his prompiness perhaps saved the com- pany from large loss.

Tug Elmer E. Keeler had the barge in tow. The crew of two were rescued. ATTRACTING NEW MONEY Every mnow and then the vaudeville theatres pay a big salary to some “legitimate” star to appear in the “varieties.” In nine cases out of ten the performance of the star is not worth anything like the salary paid him; but the vaudeville managers figure he will bring new money into the house. In other words the star at- tracts a oertain following that does not ordinarily go to vaude- ville theatres. The managers figure that their entertalnments will be so good that many of these people will want to come again and that & considerable number will become permanent patrons. ‘Wise merchants ecan follow much the same method in building their business by featuring, from time to time, nationally advertised articles for which there is popular de- mand.

VALENTINE Secretary State Association MORE DWELLINGS TO RENT HERE At Business Men’s Association Banquet Mayor Murphy Points This Out as City’s Need—Stirring Addresses by Judge Barnes and William J. Barry of Boston. e The suggestion from Mayor Mur- phy that the need of the city is the building of more dwelling houses, an address by Judge John H. Barnes along the line of greater development of agricultural possibilities, and the stir- ring words of William J. Barry of Boston in_urging co-operation for the good of New Kngland made three prominent keynotes for the second an- nual dinner of tae Nerwich Business Men's assoclation, held at the Waure- Ban house on Tuesday evening with covers laid for 200. An_enthusiastic spirit pervaded the assembly and the interesting addresses were followed with close and approv- ing attention. On elther sils of President Herbert R, Branche at the head table were seated Mayor T. C. Murphy, Rev. H. ton, a member of the chamber of com- merce, Past President Frank H. Smith, ¥. 8. Valentine of Derby, secretary of the State Business Men's association, James C. Macpherson, president of the Norwich Board of Trade, J. Arthur Al- yn of New London, past president of ‘W. Tibbits of the Norwich Board of Trade, Joseph T. Cruttenden, chairman of the eastern Connecticut develop: ment committes, and Vice Presidents William H. Crulckshanks and W. E.

The following was the menu, which ‘was nicely served by the hotel stafl: Chicken Soup, Creole. Celery. Baked Filet of Sole, Favorita. Pommes Risole. v Roast Vermont Turkey, Oyster Dressing. Potato Croquettes. Mashed Turnips. Cranberry Sauce. Vienna_ Rolls. Chocolate and Vanilla Cream. Assorted Cake. American Cream Cheese. Soft Crackers Demi Tasse. Cigars. Music from the Lang-Swahn or- chestra enlivened the banquet hour and the men joined in the songs provided on a sheet entitled Pearson's B Flat Song Sheet. On the tables were pot- ted plants and at each place was a rosebud boutonierre. Bottles of Gra- Rock spring water were furnished through Somers Bros. at each place, and a handsome 20-page pamphlct en- titied Norwich, the Rose of New Eng- land, and compiled by the association, was furnished to each man present and greatly admired. ' Rev. H. J. Wyckoff asked the bless- ing at the beginning of the banquet. President’'s Address, After the well served menu had been discussed President Branche, who pre- sided acceptably as toastmaster open- ed the programme at 9.30 by calling for the singing of America as all stoods) It is a pleasant duty, the toastmas- | ter sald, that falls to your president tonight to preside over these exercises and to iook into the faces of 200 of the energetic business men of Norwich and extend to you and to our dis- tinguished speakers and guests in be- half of the association a most cordial welcome. When you joined the Norwich Bus- iness Men's association you took heed to the advice of Emerson and hitched your wagon to a star. A star being fixed and placed according to a mar- velous law must of necessity repre- sent the striving of a man for the main chance. Now, we business men of Norwich, of eastern Connecticut, of the entire state, are banded together in one grand organization and are striving for the main chance. ‘We have bottled up our long winded tales of trials and misfortunes and thrown the bottle away. The old saw about legislation being largely a mat- ter of compromise is applicable to all social contact which means business contact too. The tumbler in a foun- dary, a large barrel where castings are’ worn beautifully smooth by con- tact with each other is a picture of human events. The unsocial indi- vidual is being crowded out and the man that is capable of partaking of ir creasingly necessary benefits of c operation is the successful business man of today. Among the many views we hold we belleve the business men to be the reliable and responsible men of a community and its civic, indus- trial and political efficiency more It is a misnomer to think that there can be such a thing as too much civic organization or cooperation among the business men of Norwich, I wish at this time to say a word in commendation of the founders of this association. To the past pres- jdent and an efficient secretary all the ‘honor and credit for making this as- sociation rest upon the high pedestal it does tonight is due. This is simply preliminary, gentlemen. Now I am going to do just exactly what you ex- ginning. I am going to introduce as the first speaker of the evening the mayor of the Rose of New England, Greeting to the Mayor. Mayor T. C. Murphy was given an enthusiastic greeting as the banquet- ers rose to their feet while the orches- tra played Hall to the Chief. The mayor roused frequent applause as he spoke of the beauties of The Roso of New England and the impres- sions that thesenever failed to make upon visitors to this city. Mayor Murphy addressed the gath- erving as follows: Mr. President and Members of the Norwieh Business Men's Associa- tien; It goes witheut saying what a great pleasure it js for me to be present at this dinner as the guest of an organ- ization which it is an honor for any merchant er citizea tv belong to. The subject that has been assigned to me is The Rose of New England. Although what may be termed as the ifp has heen spen: competent enough to speak on such & subject. I have traveled considerably but can truthfully say that I have yet| to find a more beautiful city than Nor- | wich, as regards its residential sections, | historic dwellings, and, above all, the beauty of the Thames river. Living right in its midst, we don’t appreciate | the great beauty of this river as stran- gers do. No stranger who has ever visited here ever departed without be- ing deeply impressed with Norwich, the Rose of New England. Progress of the Steady Kind. I have been pleased with the wonder- ful progress we have made in business and manufacturin~ industries. While our progress has not perhaps been as | great as that in other cities of the state, we have at least made a slow Lut steady progress. In looking over some of the statistics of the past year I find that our city has advanced in spite of all the drawbacks of the past year, 1913. Our payroll has | increased and our mercantile business is as great If not greater than any year of our existenced More Building of Houses Needed. Mr. President, I am ‘about to vary somewhat from the subject you assign- | ed me, but, looking at this audience of merchants’ and citizens with whom I am so well acquainted, I want to take advantage of this opportunity. Some five or six months ago at a meeting of | this organization I tried to impress | upon the minds of the people present | the great necessity of bullding more modern houses for rental purposes. Recently the real estate agents of this | city have taken up this point and rec- | ommended to all the people that an | invesgment of this kind would be a profitable one, both to the investor and | the city at large. In giancing over the report of the fire marshal I find the number of per- mits granted in one year for new | buildings and alterations to buildings | was 67. Out of this number I doubt | very much If there were 26 new build- | ings erected in the whole city during | the past year 1913. Surely there must | be something lacking—the population of the city has increased enough to warrant ten times the number of houses erected in the past year. I would state right here that there is not another city like this in New England where within a radius of 10 or 15 minutes’ walk of Franklin square there are so many desirable locations for_a reasonable amount of money. Who are to build these dwellings? The corporations that are doing busi- ness, and will continue to do business | in this city, have long ceased to build | houses for their employes. It is there- { fore up to you and I to do our share toward supplying the proper accom- modations for these people. Home Investments for Home Money. If the citizens who foolishly invest| their money in wildcat, mining stocks | and get-Tich-quick schemes were to invest it in their home city it would certainly promote the growth of Nor- wich as well as put money in their own pockets I would ask this association to use their every effort in bringing more in- dustries to our city. There never was a time in which Norwich needed the united support of all the people any 100re than at present. It therefore rests with this organization to give | their moral and financial support | whenever an opportunity presents it- self. For the prosperity of Norwich depends upon what you and I and the people in general make it. Merchants’ Week Meeting. After the mayor’'s address, President Branche made announcement of a meeting to be held Friday afternoon at 8 o'clock in the town hall for the | merchants to consider the matter of | the proposed merchants’ week, and he invited all the merchants of the town to attend the meeting to discuss the details that may be brought before the meeting. Judge Barnes Speaks. Toastmaster Branche then intro- duced Judge John H. Barnes to res- pond to the toast Kastern Connecticut. Judge Barnes was received with ap- plause, which was often renewed at the witty touches he introduced in the course of his earnest speech. Judge Barnes said that the kevnots of his brief talk on Eastern Connecti- cut would be the awakened interest of the business men irr Eastern Connec- ticut toward greater co-operation. Sub-divided it would be: : First—The binding eogether of the| five Fastern Connecticut Business| Men's associations and forming what is known as the Fastern Connecticut | developmen! committee for the ad- vancement of New London and Wind ham countles, commercially, industri- ally and agriculturally—better rail- road facilities and highways. Second—The publishing of a maga- zine to be kncwn as Picturesque and Industrial Eastern Connecticut. Third—The Versailles cut-off. | had such a good supply as the 1 | West that looked into matters of m STOP CATARRH! It's a Dangerous Disease—Use Hyomei —It Acts Quickly and Safely. If you have catarrh, usuaily indicat- ed by sniffling, stopped-up head, fre- quent colds, watery eyes and morning choking, there is an irritated state of the mucous membrane lining the breathing organs which affords ani ideal condition for the growth of dis- ease germs. It is needless to allow the danger- ous germs which may be taken in with the air you breathe, to reach the ir- ritated mucous membrane, and begin their destruction of your general health. One of the easiest, simplest and quickest ways to check catarrh and destroy the germs is by breathing Hyomei—the direct-to-the-point meth- 2d. No roundabout process like dos- ing the stomach. Hyomei is a combination of anti- septic and germicidal which, with air and _instantly Penetrates into the folds and crevices of the membrane lining the nose, throat and bronchial tubes. It not only heals, soothes and vitaiizes the tissues, but by destroying the danger- ous germs helps you to enjoy good health. Use Hyomei, not only for catarrh, but for cold in the head, bronchitis, croup of infants, or stopped-up head. It's a household remedy. Druggists everywhere sell it, and tells their customers he will offer to refund the money if they are not bene_ fited.

It would now depend on the name of the railroad runnipg in that section, and the other means of trans- portation. An army feeds upon the country through which it travels. In- dustries do the same.

It would bring all those places practically to tide water and be of great benefit to all people in thaf section..The idea has been pronounced sible by the government engineers, and as it would be of such great val- ue to all people in this section—the raliroads evidently would not oppose the idea. What? That matter will take care of itself in due time. When right and not might will rule—and that time is near at the gate. Agriculture the Foundation. Tt is not so much at the present time that the smoking factory chinineys | make to our greatness, as it is the fields of growing crops. Hon. David F. Houston, secretary of agriculture, said the other night, speaking at Man- chester, N. H.: “We have been so bent on_ building up great industries and industrial centers by every natural and artificial device that we have had lit- tle time to think of the ver: tion of our industrial existence. It has been assumed that we had a monop- oly in agriculture; thot it could tak care of itself; and for the most part we have cheerfully left it to do so.” Less than 40 per cent. of the land is reasonably well cultivated, and less than 12 per cent. of it is vyielding maximum returns. The Lever bill just introduced in congress would grant $480.000—$10,000 going to each state complying with the terms of the bill, the total being incre: 000’ yearly for nine vead manent annual appropriation of three millions thereafter. These funds s to be cxpended co-operatively F government and the various st ricultural coliges. Show the Farmers How. Many of the farmers are pursuing the wrung tactics in their method of farming, and they will shown the proper methods of fertilization, crop rotation and other things they need to know. With older and poorer soil, the European farmer discounts us. Our average yleld of potatoes, for instance, s 50 bushels per acre; Belgium's yield 26 bushels, France's 190, Russia's 135. Europe's wheat crop to 40 bushels per acre. In this country our average is 13.7. Senator Borah of Idaho has now before congress which is your trust. The basis of the trust is the coun lach county is have its own selling association for fathered a bill farm produce. The farmers of Clin- ton count ew York, sold thousands o bushels of sed potatoes to the farm- ers of Mercer county of New Judge Barnes went on to develop further the thought that the inte gent cultivation of the land was the real basis for the serength of a coun- try and would be one effective solution of the industrial situation of the pres. ent day. He showed what an almost incredible advance had been made in agriculture in Porto Rico and the Hawailan Islands under American oc- cupation ,and evidently with the ap- proval of his hearers from the ap- plause they gave him. State Business Men’s Secretary. Secretary F. S. Valentine was in- troduced to take the place ef the state president, F. S. Johnston of Simsbury, who was unable to attend. In his opening words, Mr. V; with pleasure to seein quet given under the ispices of { Norwich Business Men's associatior and advised all the 200 men present to enlist on the membership roll. He expressed the regret that Pres- ident Johnston felt at not being gble to attend. President Johnston, he said, was a live wire, full of “state scuh a ban- ginger,” and this infusion of stat gin- ger arose from the ginger which came all from the local associations. If wich association, there would be officers. He commended the adver- tising of Norwich which appeared on the envelopes of the Norwich assoc: tion and he went on to speak briefl of what the state association might uc- complish. Conference With City Government.

This might | not be the case in Norwich, but it was | advice that ought to be heeded and he made a plea for co-operation for ac- nplishment.
