EDOU1N'S SPAhh6.
 There was large audience at Carll's Opera House last evening to see and hear Willie Edouin and his accompanying Sparks" in GA Bunch of Keys" The play is an odd one The uncle of three sisters dies, leaving hotel property. The sisters are anxious to know to whom the property is left, and the lawyer, Littleton Snaggs tWillie Edouin), comes to the house to read the will. The will pro- vides that the hotel shall be left to the home Hest of the three sisters, and commands that the hotel shall be open within month after his death, and that the question as to the homeliest sister shall be left to the first drum mer that appears for accommodations. Then none of the sisters want the property, and each insists that the others are the homeliest. There is a codicil to the will which provides that If the sisters desire they can divide the property between them equally. This1 however, the lawyer keeps to himself, as he hopes to mar rv one of the sisters and get the whole prop ertv The hotel is opened under the man. aeement of the lawyer, and the scenes that follow in it are very funny. The play ends bv the finding of the will by the three sisters and the carrying out Of the cod1ci. !ne tive most prominent characters ID the pay are taken by Willie Edouin and Alice Ather- ion. and it is needless to say that they do them justice The other members of the company all do good work, especially James T. Powers, who has won not little fame Dy his portrayal of the photographers boy ID
 s.Dreams." The audience was thoroughly amused, judging from the frequent and hearty laughter and applause. IA Bunch of Keys does not appear destined to have the success that has attended t.Dreams, ]" but 1t is. nevertheless, entertaining. It Will be given again this afternoon, and the popular ssDreams'' will be presented this evening.

Annual Meeting in BrtdgepOrt-ElecttOn

 by Members.
 The annual meeting of the Connecticut Commercial Travellers association was held last evening at the Atlantic Hotel in Bridgeport. The members to the number of about one hundred gathered from different sections of the State, and more gentlemanly appearing and jovial body of men than they were would be hard to find. Before the business meeting the travellers gathered in groups and with jokes and story telling passed the time most pleasantly. The business meeting was called to order in the large parlor of the hotel about s:3O o'clock by President Frank CowIes, of Hartford The minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary, Eu- gene 0. Hill, of New Haven. The report of the committee to draft constitution and by laws for 8 Mutual Benefit association was then read by Secretary Hill. After the read ing there was quite an animated discussion regarding the propriety of adding the benefit portion to the association. many thinking that the membership was not sufficiently large to make it an object to start such an ad-
 iunct, which would necessarily add much work to the labors of the secretary. It was also suggested that members could now join the New England association with headquar- ters at Boston, where a number of the mem- bers now belong. After an hours discussion, in which MT. Howarth and MT. Hill, of this city took an active part, the motion to adopt the rules and make them part of the rules of the association was adopted. The rules provide for the payment of stipulated sum according to age and certain amount on the death of member. This being set \ tied the association proceeded to an election of officers for the ensuing year. The following were chosen.
 ! President A. Howarth, of New Haven.
 Vice President-Ralph c. Jones, of Col | chester, and o. H. Blanchard, of Hartford. Secretary-Eugene 0. Hill, of New Haven. Treasurer-CharIes T. Ward, of New Ha- ! ven.
 ! Executive Committee-G. M. Baldwin, Bridgeport; Edwin I. Pyle, Bridgeport; Fred 1 erick J. Coe, New Haven; F. w. Barrows, 1 Hartford: H. c. Armstrong, Providence, B. \ l.. Morse, Hartford.
 | the jolly travellers proceeded to the dining room. The long tables looked finely under the bright gas light and were very
 tastefully decorated. After all were seated Messrs Armstrong and Wilson were appoint
 ed to conduct the newly elected president tc the head of the table. On reaching the post | of honor the newly elected president wal greeted by the retiring one in brief speech President Howard replied briefly but pleas
 antly. In closing he called upon MT. Arm l strong, of Providence, to invoke the divine ] blessing.
 This concluded the gastronomic exercises proceeded according to the following
