She was a loving, true and devot-

were many.
She leaves a dear husband and
relatives and friends to mourn her

in her home and that her place is
vacant, She can not come to you
but you can go to her. So sleep
on dear one and take thy rest that

She has passed the vale of shadows
With its dark and chilling tide,
In that bright and glorious city
She will ever there abide;
She shall sleep, but not forever,
There will be a glorious dawn
Where her loved ones she shall meet
Oh that resurrection morn.

EXCELLENT
Was the School Entertainment
At the Opera House.

The entertainment given by the
pupils of the high school at the
opera house Wednesday night
Nov. 2Sth, was a most delightful
and successful affair. A very large
audience was present. Almost ev-
cry seat in the opera hall was oc-
CAPPED before the curtain was lift,
ell for the first play. The pro-
gram consisted of three short
plays, interspersed with vocal and
Instrumental music, The first
play was the humorous comedy
sketch entitled, "A French Duel, "
a lapted from Mark Twain's
Tramp Abroad" 1t was an ex-
cellent portrayal Of the manner in
which the Frenchmen fight their
bloodless duels. John Travis and
Hickman Walker were the CON-
batants, playing their parts we'll.
Ernest Carnahan ably personated
Mark Twain.
Gentlemen, the King" was the
1cond play. More tragedy than
humor was in the sketch. Arthur
Finley as Rudolph, king of Allu-
IA, was the leading character and
acquitted himself admirably.
The last sketch was the comedi-
eta, THE Prairie Princess" Miss
Sadie Rankin, as the naughty and
elegant Duchess of Diddlesex, and
Miss Leslie Woods, as the proud
and stylish daughter of this aris-
tocratic duchess, proved themselvs
most able performers. Miss Car
RE Moore and Miss Claire Taylor,
as the Prairie Princesses," with
their cowboy cousin, Henry
Haynes alias Dick Majendie, were
almost perfect in both speech and
costume, as children of the
West" while Lester Tsrry. as the
London dude, continually excited
the audience to laughter by his
droll by-word, by Jo,"
Mrs. Ingram, the popular music
instructor, assisted by several
young people, delighted the audi
ence with sweet songs during the
evening.
The entertainment was a sue
cess financially, A good sum was
realized for the school. Professor
Evans is to be congratulated on
his success as the manager of an
entertainment and has the thanks
of the people for such delightful
treat.

ABUSE OF PUBLIC RECORDS.
Report of the Connecticut Special Con-
 mission.

Report of the Connecticut Special Con-
 mission.
 The special commission appointed un- der a resolution of the last legislature to report on the condition of public records in this state, and on the best means of preserving them, published it's report yesterday. It has received returns on blanks from 160 towns, 110 judges of probate, and 161 churches. They disclose many abuses and great carelessness in caring for the records. In one of the largest cities in the state the records of town meetings cannot be found. Vital statistics have been mu- tilated, and the writing on many of the records is illegible. In other towns the safes are not large enough to hold the books, the safes are not tireproOf, and records are stored in old boxes, in houses, in barns, and WoodshedS Pro- bate records are often scattered, and they and church records are treated in many towns as careless as town rec ords.
 The commission recommends that in towns of less than 2000 inhabitants town clerks be paid salary of not less than a tenth of a mill on the grand list; that the state prohibit the use of plotting paper on public records; that a permanent commission or commiS- siorer of records be appointed; that an accurate list and description of Jall public records in the state be compiled and published; and that an archives department be established at the state capital for the deposit and preservation of ancient records

That Team to be Transferred to Meri-

 Springfield, Dec. H,-Springfeld de- feated Waterbury tonight in close game, to A. The visitors worked hard in the last period to tie the score, but Heffernan's fine playing in goal pre- vented this. It was the last game in Springfield, for Manager Aufort will transfer his team immediately to Meri- den and the present Meriden team will either be transferred to New Britain or will be disbanded, Russell going to Wa terbury or to the Maine league. Polo has been drawing well in this city, but the rink when crowded to it's utmost will only accommodate about eight hum dred, and with crowds of this size there are no profits with team as expensive as the present one. Manager Aufort says he is nearly $1,000 in the hole and sees no way of making it up. although he might manage to pay expenses from now on.

 Splendid Team Work shown.

Splendid Team Work shown. Hartford once more lowered her col ors to New Haven at the local rink last night in a game that was, most of the
 time, little slow. But this was made
 up for by splendid team work on both sides, which the large crowd present was not slow to appreciate. Some twelve hundred people witnessed the contest, and all left the rink satisfied that, in spite of the one-sided nature of the score, they had seen very interesting game
 The New Haven team played splen- did all-round game and at times com pletely outclassed the visitors, For Hartford Schiller was by far the best player of the quintette, and his work was repeatedly applauded. Like Bone, he is hustler from start to finish and works hard to win. Bone and Schiffer scored several pretty goals. In the sec ond period Bone caught the ball on the rush, caromed and banged it past Star kie in three seconds. In the third peri cd Bone took a rest from rushing and Schiller twice in succession caught the ball on the rebound off Lations and sent it into the cage-the first in three sec onds and the second in four seconds. The score: New Haven 9, Hartford 5. Rushes-Bone II, Schiller A. tie 1. Fouls --Lations, Schiffer and Hausman Stops -StarlSie 26, Latons 25. Referee Lush.
