DoRsoH1 POPULAR CONCERTS
Only Two This Season, and They Will
 Be Splendid Treats.

The public generally will be. delighted with the announcement that the Dorscht lodge has decided at last to give two popular concerts this winter. Owing to the great demand for musi- clans at present it was at first thought that it might be impossible to give any concerts this season and maintain the high artistic and yet popular standard of previous years. Lately, however, President Louis Felsberg has been al- most mercilessly importuned by many letters and personal interviews not to let these popular treats drop. In view of this special meeting of the Dorschr lodge was called and it was decided to take the "bull by the horns" and give two concerts, anyway, each man pledg- ing to give even more time than ever to promoting the artistic end of the en- tertainment.
 It was planned that, as there would be only two concerts, they should eclipse any yet given by the Dorscht lodge, both in regard to soloists and the elaborateness of the programme. The first concert will be given February 10 at the New Haven theater, One of the soloists for the event will be pleasing surprise to New Haveners when the name is announced.

MRS. TROWBRIDGE DEAD.
SHE HAD BEEN IN FAILING
 HEALTH FOR SOME TIME

NeW huVen Itdu A1WuSs bcen AAcH
 Home-Her Charities Were Numerous
 and She Was Greatly Esteemed-
 Funeral TO-MOrrOw.
 The death of Mrs. Ezekiel H. Trow bridge, which occurred at her residence, S11 Temple street, yesterday morning, brings to many the remembrance of her long and well-spent life. Mrs. Trow- bridge was in her eighty ninth year, and old age was the cause of her de- mise. She had been in failing health for some little time.
 Mrs. Trowbridge was kind Christian woman, and she had the respect and esteem of the entire community.
 Mrs. Ezekiel H. .Trowbridge was the oldest daughter of Zelotes and Eliza Atwater Day, of this city. She was born in New Haven on June 12, 1S1S On June 23, 1S4O, she was married to Ezekiel Hayes Trowbridge, who was a leading and highly influential business man of New Haven for many years and for years a director of the New York; New Haven and Hartford Railroad company. He died in 1893.
 Mrs. Trowbridge has outlived all of her children. She is survived by three grandchildren, Hayes Q. Trowbridge, of this city; Edmund Q. Trowbridge, of Guilford, and Mrs. Robert Hayes, jr., of New York; also a brother, Augustus P. Day, and sister, Mrs. Ezra D. Tut tie, both of Brooklyn. Two of her brothers, deceased, were the late Will bur F. Day, president for years of the National New Haven bank, and zelotes Day, who died years ago. A sister died about two years ago.
 Mrs. Trowbridge had always been deeply interested in all charitable works, especially those located in and having New Haven as a field for their endeavors.
 She was a member of Center church from March 7, 1S41, to the time of her death. The last days of her life have been quietly spent at her Temple street residence, and her death was but the natural sequence of a life cov- ering a period of nearly eighty-nine years.
 Funeral services will be held from the Temple street residence tomorrow aft ernoon at 2:30 o'clock, and they will be conducted by Rev. Dr. Newman Smyth. The interment will be in Grove street cemetery.
 Lewis & Maycock have charge of the arrangements.

 The debate were: Affirmative, Ter ence B. Cosgrove. Grad, of Seneca, Ill, and Thomas J. Molloy, 1908, of Hart ford, Conn; negative, Newell Jennings, 1907, of Bristol, Conn, and Clifton J. O'Hara, 1908, of Carthage, H.

fouer. This produced the effect of smoke and the picture was success.
 French comedy is popular with the playwrights, who choose the subjects for these pictures, and old melodramas are particularly good. Many of the scenes are selected from current stor- ies. One or. a dozen cameras may be used in series of pictures; if it's a chase the machines are stationed at suitable places along the course. The wonderful things you see magicians do, in the pictures are really simple, because it's all matter of leaving out a few film and patching others. A "set" shown in the Ohpheum last week was of scenes in Venice in which a jealous husband killed a friend of the family. The first half of that set real ly was taken in Venice in a rented house on the canals.

THE vIzIER's REVENGE.
Life of Persian Official Made Miserable
 by Impish Small Boy.

Wy lluplolL bOy.
 When Nassr-ed-D the father of the late Shah of Persia, made his third visit to Europe, in 1889, he was accompanied by an impish small boy named Aziz, who added considerably to the gayety of those nations his master visited that year. It was said that an eminent Persian astrologer had warned the Shah that his life would be coterminous with that of the boy and hence the monarch took great precautions as to the others welfare.
 The pranks Aziz played upon Amin es-sultan, the grand vizier, were a source of perennial delight to the ruler of Persia, his suite, and other obser- vers of various nationalities. The Shah insisted on having the boy at his side on all occasions, and the only time he was ever successfully squel- chel during the tour of Europe was at the gala performance at the Paris Opera, when Madame Carnot forcibly and personally elected him from the the royal box, and kept him out. The monarch was uneasy, however, during the entire performance.
 Aziz was protected by the Shah in any of the tricks he perpetrated upon the vizier The imp was particularly fond of jerking that august person. age's chair from under him on state occasions; he frequently managed to a superAuous amount of cayenne pep per into Amin's food, and caused him to choke and leave the table at state banquets; and during the royal visit

MAGAZINES PLANT BURNED
BIG PUBLIsHING HOUSE IN sPRINGFIELD DESTROYED.

 ing" and Other Periodicals Were
 Printed, Consumed in Blaze Started
 by Spontaneous Combustion of oiled,
 Rags-LOsses Nearly s1,OOO,OOO.
 Springfield, Mass, Jan. 2S,-The en- tire plant of the Phelps Publishing company comprising four buildings and covering nearly an acre of ground fac ing West Worthington street, was burned to-day, causing loss estimated at nearly $1,OO0,000. No one was injur- ed. The fire started from spontaneous combustion among some benzine-soak- ed rags in the basement of the main building. In addition to this structure, which was four stories in height, the plant included another four-story build ing, one five stories in height, another of two and half stories, all connected by passageways. All the buildings were of brick.
 The firm published the following mag azines: Good Housekeeping, American Agriculturist Judd Farmer, New Eng land Homestead and Farm and Home. Arrangements have been made for the publication of these journals in New York and other cities until the plant can be rebuilt.
 The fire was first discovered by the watchman in the basement of the main building. He extinguished the blaze in the rags and continued on his rounds. The rags again became ignited, how ever, and the building caught fire. A passer-by saw flames bursting from the rear of the main building and quickly sounded the alarm. The automatic sprinklers with which the buildings were equipped failed to quench the flames, and by the time the firemen ar rived It was impossible to save the plant. Only the entire absence of wind prevented the fire from communicating to other buildings, as the plant stood in the heart of the business district, with many wooden buildings near by. The fire broke out before the establishment had started up for the day, and only the watchman was on the premises at the time.
 In the building was a large amount of valuable machinery, including ex- pensive color presses. Herbert Myrick, president of the company, stated that the total loss on buildings, machinery and paper stock would he very nearly S1,000OO0 but that it was practically covered by insurance About 450 per- sons are thrown out of employment by the destruction of the plant, which was one of the best of it's kind in New Eng land.
 President Herbert Myrick, of the Phelps Publishing company, said to- night that the company would make plans at once to rebuild the entire plant In discussing the loss President Myrick said his first estimate of Sl,OOO coo included the value to the company of mailing and subscription lists which were destroyed, and that the loss on the buildings, machinery and stock would not greatly exceed $4000O0 The insur- ance he thought amounted to between s300,000 and $400,0O0 though until the safes could be removed from the ruins the exact amount of insurance could not be determined.
