HARTFORD SAVINGS BANKS.
Lower Rate of Interest Would ITlti
 mately Come

Lower Rate of Interest Would ITlti- mately Come
 Yesterdays Hartford Courant said "A. F. Hart, treasurer of the Society for Savings on Pratt street, said yes terday that there had been no change in the interest rate in Hartford and that the Hartford savings banks would pay the usual 1 per cent. dividend on deposits in June. There had been no other action contemplated What might be done in the future he did not know. A lower rate of interest would ulti- mately prevail, without doubt, and whenever it came it would affect the amount of money carried in the banks but little, if any. The depositors would not withdraw their money because they would not know how to invest 1t as well as those familiar with loans and such matters.
 MT. Hart knew that the Bridgeport savings banks had lowered the rate of interest, and 1t was very plain why it had been done. A year ago the banks In that city reduced the rate of interest on loans to Az per cent, good. bad and indifferent. This made 1t impossible for them to pay per cent. to depositors and the cut was necessary The Society for Savings had many loans of long standing at fairly high rate of inter- est and had been able to pay the usual dividends. It would probably credit up $100,000 to its depastors' interest &C., count during the yeaE This would all have to be reinvested and made to earn the dividend

Hyperion Theater. MISS JULIA ARTHUR IN "A LADY OF OIIAIITY."

MISS JULIA ARTHUR IN "A LADY
 OF QUALITY"
 Few books have attracted the amount of comment that has been paid to Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett's novel, "A Lady of Quality" which Miss Julia Ar thur and her company of players will produce next Thursday night at the Hyperion. The story, in way, deals with new woman" of the epoch of Queen Anne. How this woman wished to mold the world to her bidding and how she was conquered by destiny and surrounding circumstances give rise to some of the most absorbing incidents ever incorporated into modern fiction. At the hands of an artist like Miss Julia Arthur the role of Clorinda becomes the most powerful creation of modern years in the drama. It seems as though the part itself was ideally fitted to this beautiful, magnetic actress, whose forceful methods make the powerful scenes vivid with coloring and powers. The sale of seats indicates big business. Prices $1 50 and $1.

OBITUARY NOTES.
Eugene K. Brown, Brother of Walter
 Brown of Fair Haven.


 The Berlin, Conn.,, News says: It will be sudden and distressing news to many of our readers to learn of the unexpect- ed death of Eugene F. Brown, who died about 3 o'clock Wednesday morning. For the past two years 1t has been known to his relatives and nearest friends that he had not been at all well, With the many others he caught a severe grip cold a few weeks ago which developed into acute tubercuto- sis, or consumption. The death of his housekeeper, Mrs. Hay, last fall left him in his weakened state without prop CT care. His brother, Walter Brown of Fair Haven, the only surviving mem- Der of the family, and his nephew, MT. Rowe of California, were with him when he died. MT. Brown was one of Berlln's practical and progri ssive farm CTS, and had accumulated quite a large property. He was born in Berlin for ty-elght years ago in the homestead on Lower lane, where he died He was a member of the Second Congregational church. The funeral will be held from his home Friday afternoon at o'clock and the interment will be in the South cemetery. MT. Brown was a democrat in politics, thought not a partisan one. He Will be missed among the genial men and hardworkers of the town."

ED UCATTON.aL EXHIBIT
At Warner Hall During the May Fest


 By permission of the board of educa- tion Professor Jepson, director of music in the New Haven public schools, has arranged with the officers of the Con- necticut Music Teachers association to illustrate musical methods as taught in the schools of New Haven as the educa- tional feature of the festival. The exer- cises will take place in Warner hall every afternoon during the sessions of the association, commencing at four o'clock.
 Five classes of children, numbering twenty-four pupils in each class, will eXemplify the work of all grades in mu- scal instruction. Each class will rep resent several school districts and will come together as a class for the first time when they appear before the au- dience, having had no other prepara tion than the daily drill which they have received in their respective school rooms. This must be regarded as a fair test of the efficiency of musical in- struction as taught in our schools.
 In connection with the exercises of the children, which will consist of sight reading, musical dictation and individ ual singing, there will be an elaborate exhibition of written music, mounted on. frames, consisting of original and dictated exercises selected from all the schools and grades. The hall will be open for the inspection of written work from 9 a. m. to 730 D. m. of each day No special tickets of admission will be required for this exhibition. William H. Hackett will be present at each o'clock session with an efficient corps of ushers from Hillhouse high school.
