GREAT MUSICAL TREAT.
Arrangements For an Elaborate Festival
to be Held In May

Arrangements For an Elaborate FESTIVAL
to be Held In May
Waterbury is not to be without its an
nual music festival after all. Professor
Bartlett and a number OF the leading
members of the Harmonic society have
made arrangements for what will prob
ably be the greatest musical treat ever
given here. The festival will be held in
City hall on the afternoon aud evening
of May 10, and the program will be a
varied and elaborate one. The Boston
festival orchestra of forty men, under
the leadership of Emil Mollenhauer, will
be here; also, Nine Nordica, soprano, Of
London, said to be the greatest artist
now in America; Miss Rose Stewart, So
prano, of Boston; William n. Rieger,
tenor, of New York; Max Heinrich,
the celebrated Hungarian pianist;
Felix Winternitz, violinist; Fritz Giese,
Americas greatest cello artist. In adj
dition will be festival chorus composed
of prominent members of the Harmonic
society and leading singers of the diff
ferent church cholrs. The chorus will
be from different oratorios and masses,
making the program more varied
than if it were confined to one oratorio
and at the same time giving those who
are not able to attend the afternoon ses-
orchestra and soloist in the evening. The
chorus will be somewhat smaller than
usual as the time for rehearsals is
limited and only those who are
ready readers will be eligible. Profess
sor Bartlett is sending Invitations to
those he desires to assist and rehearsals
will begin within two weeks. Subscrip-
ton tickets will probably be ST. and
$a, the latter price being charged for
the most desirable seats.

greatest of characterizations with
abundant opportunity for his crisp
drollery and inimitable parodies. In

Foot Bridge Carried Away.

ANsoNIA, Mar 10-The new foot
bridge over the Naugatuck river oppo-
site this town was carried away last
night. All day the water rose rapidly
and by night it became a raging torrent.
In the afternoon it rose about foot
and continued to increase rapidly in
volume. Ice has been coming down the
river in large quantities and last night
it began to pile up against the bridge,
which swayed and tottered under the
great pressure until shortly before 10
o'clock it yielded and went to pieces,
drifting down the river. The bridge
was put up about two weeks ago to re-
place similar structure which was car
ried away at that time.

NEW MILFORD, March 10.-Edward

Recently the horse was seized with
violent spasms and acted like dog,
making noises like those uttered by a
dog. When any object was held in
front of the horse, he would leap madly
toward il. The symptoms were de-
cidedly hydrophobic and Wednesday
the horse was killed. Mr. Disbrow of

ARBOR DAY.
April Is Designated as the Day For Plant

April Is Designated as the Day For Plant
ing Trees
Gov. Lewelling has issued his procla-
nation designation Thursday, April ID
as arbor day. In his proclamation the
governor says:
believing that the methods adopted
last year by many of our public insti-
tutions, and especially the public
Schools to be the best means through
which TO cause the observance of this
magnificent custom, / recommend that
county and city superintendent of
schools mayors and councils of cities
assume charge of the work. prepare and
give general direction to the arrange
ments for the proper and general OBJ
'servance of the day. No greater inner
itance can be left to the coming gener-
ations than the results which may fol-
low universal observance of this
day."
Arbor day was first observed in Kan
sas April %. 1875. when the citizens of
Topeka gathered on the state house
grounds to set out trees in accordance
with proclamation issued by Maj. T.
j. Anderson, who was then mayor of
the city. The first state arbor day was
appointed by Gov. Click in 1888. He
issued his proclamation designating
April 20 as the day to be observed.
Every governor since that time has
issued a yearly proclamation appoint
ing a day for planting trees
