Miss Bextha Burlingame of Pawtucket, R. I, was the violinist. Miss Burlin- game has studied in this country and abroad. In Berlin she was a pupil of the celebrated teacher, _Theodore Splering. Her tone is broad and full, very clear and sweet at all times. Her left hand is well developed, her finger- ering clear cut and crisp throughout. Her bowing is on par with her finger- ing, her wrist free and flexible. She ille Sicherheit, by Franz, in singing tone. The double stop work in Little Song, was very _ac- curate. All_ her work was delightrul but she excelled as an interpreter of Kreisler, having five of his numbers on her programme. Especially pleas- ing was her rendering of the Viennese Popular Song. Mr. Caswell was heard in six num- bers which were sung in splendid man- ner. A Spirlt Flower by Campbell- Tipton, was given with much expres- sion. His rendering of Invictus, by Huhn was a delight to the audience. He sang it in a very dramatic, declam- atory style, every word being distinct- ly ennunciated, and the accompani- Loomer Opera House WILLIMANTIC, CONN. THURS.

PLAINFIELD Men Arrive to Work on New Steel Bridge at Central Village—Branch of British-American Relief Fund Organized—Basketball Schedule. Nevin The steel girders for the new bridge the Qufnebaug river at Cen- Village arrived there Friday cning and a force of workmen num- bering sixteen who are to work on the bridge, arrived at Central Village Tuesday morning. This new steel bridge with concrete foundations is replacing an old wooden bridge which was torn down last fall. Workmen immediately set to work constructing a new bridge and succeeded on finish- ing the concrete foundations for the steel work on both banks of the Quinebaug river before the cold wea- ther set in, when work was suspend- ed. The people of Central Village who live on the southern side of the river were put to great inconvenience when the bridge was torn down as they were forced to reach the downtown section either by crossing the railroad trestle, which was considered to be dangerous. or to go around to the state road and cross the bridge there. Most of them, however, walked to the state road after the accident which occurred on the raiiroad trestle when a little girl fell over the trestle into the river and narrowly escaped drown- ing. The old wooden bridge which cross- ed the river at this point had stood a great deal of roughing. It is said that in the early part of 1385 a severe rain storm caused the Sterling dam to break, making the Quinebaug river very turbulent. The river washed away a house in Central Village but the old wooden bridge stood the test against the rapid course of the river. The bridge seemed reliable enoush for the traffic there until last fall when a heavy autotruck crashed through on the edge of the bridge, making necessary the building of a new bridge. ev- BRITISH-AMERICAN RELIEF Committee Organized to Secure Funds in Connection With Norwich Com- mitte A Plainfield branch of -the British- American Relief Fund for Soldiers at the front has been organized, after a meeting held last week.

The United States is asked to agree not to occupy any town, viliage or camp and not to pene- trate Mexican territory further than may be necessary for actual pursuit of Villa. Furthermore, a pledge is re- quested of immediate retirement from foreign soil as soon es the expedition is an admitted success. ‘The agreement of 1881 which was signed by Secretary Frelinghuysen during the administration of Presl. dent Arthur and by Matias Romoe, of the administration of President Gonazel, limited expeditionary forces to unpopulated regions near the ‘fron- tler. It is believed that in the pres- ent case the word bandits will be substituted for Indians and that the former agreement, with certain other amendments to meet conditions of the present day will be the basis for the new protocol. . News of the action of the Washing= ton government in disavowing any in- tention to occupy the city of Casas Grandes has had an_ excellent effect here. Much anxiety has been felt in regard to the poseible complications in the event of the attitude of the United States being other than that expressed. Virtually the entire force of the for- eign offico here is preparing to move to Queretaro, the provisional capital, in order to be ncarer the foreign min- ister and the chief executive power. been B ecw Shpet STRIKE AT TORRINGTON HAS BEEN SETTLEZ | Strikers Have Accepted a Compromise Offer for Increase in Wages.
