NATIONAL COUNCIL MEETING
OF the knights of Columbus to be Held
Here Next TUESDAY,

OF the knights of Columbus to be Held
Here Next Tuesday.
The national council of the Knights
of Columbus, composed of about seven
ty members, will hold it's annual meet
ing at the national headquarters in the
Poll building on Church street Tuesday,
March g. -
Important matters are coming up for
adjudication before the council, not the
least of which are the petitions from
various countries in South America and
islands in the West Indies asking that
the order be extended to those terrific
ries. Venezuela, Brazil and Chill have
sent very strong petitions for the order
to extend to them. The Islands of
Porto Rico and Cuba have also sent pc
titions.
These petitions will be given very Sc
rious considerations and the likelihood
is that they will in most cases be ia
vorably acted upon. The probability is
that if the council votes to extend the
jurisdiction of the order to these coun-
tries it will be an extension that will
furnish charter rights only to lodges to
be established on a social and fraternal
basis, and not on the insurance basis of
the order. 1t is understood that the
petitioners are preferable to this ar
rangement.
In Porto Rico the case may be differ
emit Much probably will depend on the
laws made by Nhe United States with
reference to the island. If the govern
ment comedies to it the rights of ter
ritory the Knighte of Columbit may es-
tablish lodges there having the same
privileges and enjoying the same bene-
fits as those of the United States.
The national meeting will elect a
board of directors for another year and
transact other business proper to come
before the meeting. 1t is not meeting
for the election of officers.

Grand Opera IIe.s..

The name Of Augustus Pitou, as man
ager of 1.-THE Gunners Mate brand
= new and modern naval drama, is sutfi-
cient of itself to fill the Grand opera
house to capacity on Friday and Sat-
urday, and at the matinee Saturday.
But in addition to this the play is one
that cannot fail to appeal to the Amer
lean theater-going public. Unlike
many of the plays that have been pro-
duced as the outcome of our Spanish
war, 1.-THE Gunner's Mate" is founded
entirely on probability. It's strong
dramatic climaxes are not attained by
sentimental clap trap, but it's characters
and their actions, worked out on per-
fectly true and natural lines, appeal,
with vital significance, to the audience.
| Into the life of the New York's blue
jackets is interviewer a perfectly natur-
al story of love, heroism, self-sacrifice
and courage, with strong strata of
comedy to give life and light. The

news of engagements that have been

Miss Emma Juch, who has been en-
gagged to give the song recital on Tues
day at O'clock, will have the assist
ance of Mrs Robert Brandagee, a cell
ist noted throughout the state for gen.
uine artistic work.
Miss Jessamine Pike, a. promising
young soprano, indeed the youngest
singer in New York to-day to hold a
church position of great responsibility,
will assist the Kaltenborn quartette in
their programme of chamber music on
the afternoon of Wednesday, Much in
terest is felt in Miss Pixies appearance
here, where she is known socially as
well as in the musical set She is an
extremely pretty girl not more than
eighteen, full Of enthusiasm for her
work, with a marvelously artistic tenn
permanent. But first of all she has
voice of rare power and quality and I'M

Bridgeport. Miss Chase is one of the
best sopranos in the state to-day and
she is a welcome addition to the fes-
tival's corps.
In every detail the May festival of
1900 will be far and away the best from
every standpoint the Connecticut Mu-
sic Teachers association has ever
given.
Although the event is still two months
off tickets have begun to sell rapidly.
The management gives advance no.
tees every year of the sale of tickets
in due time so that the members Of the
committee do not feel that they are in
any way to blame if their warning to
secure tickets early goes unheeded. |
There is an unusually large out-of town |
demand for tickets this year and as
there are but 1000 tickets altogether
to be sold there promises to be ticket |
famine several weeks in advance of the |
festival, as there was last year.
