The annual minstrel show given by the Willimantic Minstrel Boys under the management of John F. Collins and the direction of the old-time min- strel man, Sam Johnson, was a decid- ed hit Thanksgiving afternoon and evening. The stage was set for the first part of the entertainment with some very effective scenery designed by Mr. Collins and painted by Wil- liam K. Bath, and with new and timely jokes, and good singing, assisted by the playing of Helmoid's orchestra, ap- plause and encores were the rule. Of course, the premiers were Sam Johnson and George Bartleit, and the conversationalist John F. Collins, but their efforts were ably ¥ seconded by Al fol Moriarty, J. Keirans, J. . McQuillan, H.

Mr. Rose said, he was very despondent and if he had known that Howard had the revolver in his possession he would have tried to obtain possession of it before Howard left him for the night. A short time ago one of Howard’s duughters, who lives in San Diego, Cal., offered to take care of him, but he did not have the price of a ticket, and it is supposed did not want to write out there for the necessary amount to purchase his transportation to the coast. A note was left behind by the dead man_arranging for the disposition of the few belongings he had with him, so that the deed was clearly preme: itated- The iwriting of the note, how ever, was scraggly and considerably unlike his ordinary writing. Everyone who was acquainted with Howard speaks well of him, and when the news was circulated about that he had made way with himself expressions of s{mpa,thy and pity were heard on all sides.
