Had Pad and Pencil letting Down Notes of
 Testinony.

Sayino Perriello is of far differ ent temperament from his friend, Girl aco Capobianco who charges him with the blame of killing Angelo Solomita near the Naugatuck depot one day last July. Capobianco, who was the chief witness against him before the grand jury yesterday, is of nervous, quick, restless disposition, unable to control his emotions During the last days of his trial it seemed impossible for him to sit still moment in his chair facing the witness stand.
 Yesterday afternoon. after rhe grand jury had made Its report and Perriello was put to plea, he stood erect as soldier. And while Clerk Marsh was reading to him the indict- ment. which Rocco Mancinl interpre- ted as the clerk proceeded, Perrieilo smiled so obviously that he seemed to have felt like laughing.
 Every time the clerk said the words. "and said leaden bullet" or with said revolver or pistol did then and there shoot and kill the said Angelo Solo mita.- Perriello looked the interpreter squarely in the face. There was an air of bravado about his conducr which did not look well under the very serious circumstances enveloping him.
 But it was while in the presence of the grand jury he showed hIs spirit. He had A pad and he jotte,l down notes as the testimony went along and when the hearing was through with he had nineteen pages of notes.

WASHINGTON Anniversary Celebrated
 Everywhere. BUSINESS SUSPENDED
Lovely Weather Brought Out Many People in Their Best Togs There Was No Parade in
 New Haven.

New Haven. Conn.,. Feb. 92-In commemmoration of the anniyersary of the birthday of him who was first in war first ill peace and first ill the hearts of his countrymen. business throughout the state was partially Suspended to-day wEi1, all banks, insurance offices and other financial institutions closed their doors in hon or of the occasion.
 The day was a beautiful one from q weather standpoint and caused no end of joy for those who celebrated it in attending conventions. annual meetings, banquets and other big events of which there were many throughout the state. The old custom of starting the. day with a big Wash ington's birthday parade, seems to have been abandoned for good in Connecticut as there was no big de- monstration of that character in any Connecticut city.
 City halls, government buildings and postofficesS did practically no husi- ness and great many stores that were opened this morning closed at noon. In fact the day could be class ed as semi holiday.
 Of the numerous society gather ings in Connecticut perhaps the state banquet of the Sons of the American Revolution held at The Elton in Wa terbury was the largest and most en- thusiastic, over 300 attending and listening to patriotic speeches. by pa triotic men. At the big banquet to be given in Middletown tonight Gov ernor Roberts will be a speaker, his name app turing on the toast list of an exceptionally interesting gather ing of speakers. The banquet will be held at Wesleyan university.
 The state letter carriers associa- tion are holding their annual cOnven- tion in New Britain and it is largely attended. Postmasters from many cities were invited and attended und one of the most successful conventions in the history of the letter carriers or ganization will result.
 In Torrington there was large at tendance at the annual convention of the Connecticut Advent Workers soci- cities and in this city the state associ- ation of Odd Fellows assembled in large numbers. Their annual meeting was followed by a banquet held in Odd Fellows hall.
 Of the athletic events in the state interest centered in the stare bowling tournament in Waterbury where pin splitters from many cities are eompet- ing for the five man. three man, two man and individual championships. Handsome prizes have been offered and the event promises to make bowl ing history in Connecticut. There was an association football game in Bridgeport between the Bridgeport association team and the Rangers of New Haven. This. was in the after noon.
 Other events to-day were the annl- versary of the consecration of Bishop Tierney in Hartford. the conference of prohibition workers. also in that city. at which National Chairman Jones spoke. the exemplifying of the fourth degree on 167 Knights of Columbus in New Haven. and numerous other s.caller events in various places.
 Schools were closed for the day and there was showy display of Amcrf- can flags on homes and public build- ings.

THE sTERfoTYPED SMILE.
Man Wearing a Castiron Smirk Con-
 spicuous Feature of Philadel- 8 phia Suburb.

Many daily travellers on a morning and evening train to and from one oi Philadelphia suburbs have noticed for number of years man, now past middle age, who wears a perpetual smirk. This man no doubt thinks he Is smiling and looking pleasant, but the smile is so purely mechanical-a mere contraction of the muscles, eked out with an oleaginous leer-that the fixed, set smile Is wholly unpleasant and repellent. He Is known as the man with the stereotyped grin, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
 It so happens that the man with the castiron smirk has written several es- says on the duty of being cheerful and of irradiating pleasantness in daily life. He Is sociologist and reformer and has in mind several benedcient schemes for the right ordering of tn universe; but his wife cannot live with him; his brothers have quarrel ed with him and his sister and his uouShtCi -Au-idW uO uOI opcdh tO HILL
 He started in life with good Idea drill your thoughts, shut out the gloomy and call in the bright"-but he failed to put 1t into practice, because his smile and his pleasantness are merely on the surface, while his hearl action is defective.
 Almost everyone must have noticed among his acQuaintances certain number who, in their casual greetings on the street. use the mechanical smile. The muscles of the lower face are contracted with evident effort. The sudden relaxation of the muscles dis closes blank face, which, by reason of the quick transition, leaves mos, unwholesome, forbidding impression just the opposite of the intention of the superncialiy polite contortionist A sensitive man with genuine feeling would much rather be sworn at than greeted with that kind of smile.
