Prize Dancing Drew Big Crowd. At the Davis theatre on Friday evening the special attraction as an extra on the programme was the prize dancing contest, which filled the house fo more than seating capacity. There were three couples entered to compete, but the courage of one couple oozed away at the last minute and left only two to show their steps for the plau- dits of the populace. The one-step was the dance, and those competing were Lewis Hull with Miss Leah Gray, one of the show troupe, as his partner, and Michael Aldi with Miss Nellie Farrell of Greeneville as his partner. The popular verdict gave Mr. Aldi and partner first prize of $5, and Hr. Hull and partner second prize of $3. After the prize contest a pretty ex- hibition of the tango was given by Bddle Dowling and Miss Irene Finlay of the Musical Follies of 1915, for ‘which they were generously applauded. The regular bill by the Follies and the photoplays were well galculated to please the big house. Kitchener seldom touches meat in any form, except game and poultry. Chatham, Mass.

LAWYER ASKS FOR RE-INSTATEMENT Judge Greene Wants to Know All the Facts in the Case of Edmund J. Condon of New London—Speaks of High Character Expected of Members of the Profession— Motion List Matters Disposed of. The question of the reinstatement of Edmund J Condon of New London, who had been disbarred some time ago on embezzlement charges, was before the superior court short calendar ses- sion here on Friday on _a motion brought up by Attorney Waller. Judge Gardiner Greene, who pre- sided, said the court would have to have the full facts in the case and that it should be referred to the state's attorney. He spoke of what kind of men should be admitted to the bar, saying that they should be only men of good character and when they are admitted they are advised of the high profession they are choosing. It was natural to sympathize with the anvli- cant for reinstatement. but it would seem useless to excuse one by rein- statement after he had sinned. Major Hull spoke for Mr. Condon, saying that the money that had been lost had been made good and that Mr. Condon did not want to Tesume the practice of law, but wanted the reinstatement to remove the stain from his character. He now works as trav- eling salesman for a firm in New York. Thomas M. Shields, Tracy Waller and S. S, Thresher, president of the New London County Bar assoclation spoke for the applicant. The matter was referred to Major Hull, to submit all the information in the case to the court. Motion List.

Born Near Connecticut Line He Se- oured Eduecation in East Killingly. Nelson W. Aldrich, reference to whose sudden death in New York on Friday is made elsewhere here was ‘well known through his ancesters and during his early yearsin Eastern Con- necticut. The head of the family in this coun- try was “Goodman” Thomas Burgess. of Sandwich, Mass. Abby Ann Bur- gess's father, Gideon Burgish, Sema- tor Aldrich’s granfather, was interest- ed in mill constructjon, having had the contract for a portion of the Will- iamsville, Conn., factory. For some time after the marriage Senator Aldrich's father and mother lived ip Foster, and there he with other children of the family, was born, Their home was near the Connecticut line, beyond which was the town oy East Killingly. Killingly Center's cot- ton manufacturing furnished occupa- tion for Anan Aldrich, who had to go but a short distance to reach the vil- lage, and later he removed to East Killingly, where he had decided to go into business. A partnership was formed with a friend named Thomas. and for some Years Thomas and Aldrich carried on a machine shop there. This was not particularly successful, and at length it was given up, Anan Aldrich be- coming head machinist in one of the cotton mills and continuing in tthis re- lation to one concern after another for years. The latter part of his life was spent as head machinist for the Slat- ers, at Webster, Mass. Nelson Wilmarth Aldrich was born November 6, 1841. He attended the school in East Killingly and finished his_preparation for practical life by a course at the East Greenwich® Acade- my, where he especially learned book- keeping. He returned to East Killing- ly and was employed at first as book- keeper by James Bullock, who had a country store there. When 19 years old he went to Providence. October 9, 1866, he married Miss Ab- byby P. T. Chapman. She was of a Norwich, Conn.. family, and in conse- quence of the death of her parents came to live with her aunt, her moth- ers sister, Mrs. Duty - Greene, the wife of Duty Greene, a well _known drugeist on Christian Hill. In time she came to be known as Miss Abby P. Greene, although she was not adopted by the Greene family. Her uncle was her guardian, however. When she was married to Mr. Aldrich her name was given in the newspa- per marriage notice as Abby e Greene; doubtless because her identity would not have been easily recognized Dby many friends under her real name. Mre. Aldrich inherited the Duty Greene DProperty upon her aunt’s death. She survives her husband with hev- eral children. &L WEDDING. I Beebe-Lee. The marriage of Miss Mary E.

An argument over the European war between Anthony Trosporous, an Ital- ian, and John T. White of Norwich Town, on Bath street, about 11 o'clock Friday night, resuited in the arrest of Trosporous, who was lodged in a cell at police headquarters, charged with assault upon White. It is claim- ed that White said something about Italy that in Trosporous's cpinion was derogatory to his countrymen and he became so aroused over the statement that he dealt White a blow which landed him in a heap in_ Franklin street near Bath street. Trosporous then started to run, but he was over- taken by Officer Myron Morgan, who with the help of a citizen landed him at “headquarters. 'White was not se- riously injured. NATIVE OF EAST LYME.
