The most important event of the
year to the Training school was the
completion of the Sprunt annex, which
provided for the nurses a cheerful,
comfortable, hygienic nome, contain
ing 10 bedrooms and n large sitting
room. We offer grateful thanks to
Mrs. ". r. Kenan, Mrs Wise and
Miss Kenan, who with some of their
friends, furnished the sitting room
for us. For further additions to he
furnishing the nurses are indebted to
DR.. Akerman for a Wernicke section
book case, and a handsome chair, to
Mrs. Alderman for a set Of Is books.
and to Mrs. Horton for a hammock
and rocking chair. Through the gen.
erous gift OF 5000 from a friend who
wishes to remain unknown, we were
able to purchase rugs for each bed
Dol
We hoped by this time to have in
creased the number of nurses in train
ing, but nave been prevented by he
deficient education of applicants for
admission.
Our constitution demands a certain
standard of ability and intelligence,
to lower this would be detrimental to
the high reputation we wish to attain,
therefore we have preferred to be
hampered rather than give to the
public nurses of inferior merit.
We have been instrumental in form
ing an association of graduate nurses
with a registry Office at the hospital;
this in addition to the benefit to the
doctors and nurses of the city, will
place our training school still more
prominently in the ranks of the state
institutions.
The nurses home committee of the
recently formed Ladies' Auxiliary has
already lone much for the pleasure
and interest of the nurses, especially
as regards the planning for the Christ
mas dinner, an event without prece-
dent in the history Of the school.
The general health of the school has
been goOd:11 weeks of sickness are
recorded; the majority of the cases
being malaria, besides n case of
pleurisy and one axillary abscess.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH AKERMAN.

Only Small Atteadance at Deserv-
 ing Performance.
 The first production in this city of the clergyman's play "As Ye Sow at Polls last evening was deserving of larger audience. Still while tho numbers were small they made up in appreciation what they lacked in attendance. The drama is . delight full one. filled with clever situations and interesting climaxes. It is the product of Rev John Snyder who has compiled in the four acts of the play a story of real life. Every part of the production possesses some mag netic features that hold your closest attention and call for your warmest approval. George D. Baker as Rev John St John. Walter E. Perkins, our old comedian friend in My Friend From India" now in the character of Lute Ludlam, Miss Myrtle May aS Dora Leland and Ernest Mack as Deacon Bassett. all performed their parts cleverly indeed There was not a bad spot in the company.

BULLET IN COURT
A Psusley Shsvs to Ls,del Missilo
 Tlksl Frel Enlee'i Bsdy.

The break in the power general ing plant at Bulls Bridge was re- sponMbls for delaying tho superior court an hour and for causing Juror Charles Fenn to be overcome In Judge Ca5e's room. MT Fenn lives in Prospect and 1t was his custom to walk to the Summit station on the Cheshire trolley line and then ride into town. He waited at Summit this morning until he heard the trolley system had been interrupted by the break at Bulrs Bridge and then he madevor the railroad depot. He was just in time to be late. He then went homo and drove to Waterbury n his own buggy. after telephoning 0o cause of his delay. In his anxiety e reach court on time MT Fenn, who . quite stout man, worked him. oelf into . very nervous condition. When he reached the court house he was scarcely able to speak. He saw Judge Case in his room to make his apologies and while there was over come. He soon recovered, however.
 Another juror. that was late on ac- count of the break down of the troll ley was Jerome Munson of Hamden. He got to court before MT Fenn did. When Mir Fenn was fully recovered court was opened and the trial of Joseph Errico for the murder of Pasquale Traficanti in Little Italy" In Naugatuck on Sunday evening, September g, was resumed.
 Dr Pomeroy was the first witness of the day. He produced one of the bullets which had been imbedded in Errico's body. This one was ex- tracted from the right side above the hip. The scars of the three wounds on the mans body. two in the back and one in the chest, were exposed to the jury.
 Rocco Traficanti, a brother of the murdered man, was the next witness. He testified that while he was in jail . man representing himself as law yer visited him and got his state ment of how his brother had been killed. That statement was read and 1t showed no material difference from what he has already testified.
 Mrs Marie Spadola. a sister of the Trafcantis, stated that she saw her brother Rocco shoot Errico. She heard three or four shots after the first one, but who fired them she could not say. When Rocco fired at ErricO she did not see her brother Pasquale in the crowd at all. She thought he had left little while be- fore. Neither did she see anyone hold ing Errico at the time 1t has been said he began firing at Pasquale.
