SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT,
The Steinertone Planoforte Recital Last
 A laa r-l NEl.


 The Steinertone Planoforte Recital Last
 Night Attended by Big Crowd Miss
 Betty Askenasy, Pianiste, and Miss
 May Bradley, Vocalist
 The Steinertone atheneum was crowded to it's utmost capacity last evening with listeners to pianoforte recital which was given by Miss Betty Askenasy. The programme was one that contained all the different classes of pianoforte playing, beginning with the great master, Bach, and ending with the Russian composer, Arensky,
 Miss Askenasy is a young lady who has studied among the great masters of Europe and has received the high est prizes in scholarship as 8 pianiste. Miss Askenasy is an artist of high de- gree, which was clearly shown when she played the most beautiful composi- ton of Bach, the "Fantasie Chomat- ique." This requires tremendous strength and an unlimited amount of technique. Aside from this, the artist gave evidence in the rendition of this masterpiece of a poetical and deep un- derStanding of the divine art of music. Mendelssohn's Btude de Concert floated away in @ most delightfully animated spirit from under her fingers, as she entered into the spirit of the intentions of this lovely composer. Davidsbun- derlantze by Schumann are generally to be found on the programmes of the great concert ptanists and require a thorough knowledge of the keyboard and an unlimited amount of elasticity of touch, while, above all, the humor- ous intention of Schumann must be taken into consideration. Miss Asken- asy's was most thorough rendering in the rapid pace that is required for these compositions. In the Ballade c Minor by Chopin the performer again displayed deep feeling in her dignif1edi rendition of this beautiful composition, which was also stimulated by a poetic sentiment throughout. Liszt's Waldes- rauschen and Liebestraum appeared as lovely flowers under her Timber fingers while the Basso Ostinato by Arensky convinced the large audience that Miss Askenasy is a pianist of unusual merit and possesses the power of conveying all the intricate essences contained in musical composition.
 Miss May Bradley rendered the Page Song by Meyerbeer in a dramatic style. Manney's May Morning" and Spring. tide" by Hammond, recalled to the audience the fact that this excellent vocalist is endowed with superior voice entirely under her control, and guided by a splendid enuncitiation and perfect intonation.
 The Steinertone grand piano showed out in it's brilliancy, giving tremendous power when required by the compost tion, while it's soft and mellow tones transported both artist and audience into the dreamland of poetry and mu- sic. The Steinertone company is to be congratulated upon its efforts in giving these free recltals to the people of our musical city, and deserves our ready appreciation of such beautiful performances upon the finest piano. forte made.

NORTON GETS DIVORCE.
JUDGE SHUMWAY GRANTS SEPA-
 RATION FROM MRS NORTON

Decision Based on Charge of InfideIlty
 George Jenkins Recognized as Co-
 respondent--Case Has Been in Courts
 Since October-WnI be Appealed.
 A decision in the Norton divorce case was announced yesterday by Judge Milton A. shumway in favor of the plaintiff, Edwin Kenneth Norton of New York, He is granted a divorce from his wife, Josephine Birney Nor ton, whom he married while he was a freshman in the Sheffield Scientific school. The case promises to continue in the court, however, for a time long CT, for Attorney Jacob Goodhart, coun- sel for Mrs Norton. has declared that his client will appeal to the supreme court.
 Judge Shumway's decision was short and to the point. It reads: T find that allegations one and eight of the complaint are true, and, therefore, the application of the plaintiff Is granted. g
 Allegation one states that MT. Norton and Miss Birney were married on Jan- uary IS, 1906 Allegation eight brings the charge of infidellty, naming George Jenkins as correspondent.
 The details of the case are we'll known, and have been aired continu- ally since last October, when the suit was started. Mrs Norton's attorney has fought the case for every inch of the group4
 Theappeal to the supreme court means that after delay of month or two the whole matter will have to be gone through again
 The connection of George Jenkins with the case has a6ded complications. He has been represented by counsel throughout the proceeding, and has de- nied the charges brought against him indirectly That Julge Shumway has based his decision on allegation eight instead of others to which the plaintiff was trusting more, has drawn him into an important If unpleasant connection with tho suit.
 Mrs. Norton is we'll known in this city Her home is in Fair Haven and before her marriage she was employed in several of the big stores as a cloak model Young Norton was a popular member of the Sheffield cass when he went with Miss Birney to Bridgeport to be married by Justice of the peace.
 Over fifty witnesses were introduce ed by the pallntiff, and much of the testimony was that of paid detectives. Detective Louis J. Webb of this city shadowed Mrs. Norton constantly from the time her husband left her untn within short time of the trial.

UNIONS DEMAND MORE.
New Haven Road Employees Want Gen.
 eral Increase.


 It was learned yesterday that com mittees from the different unions whose members are employees of the New Ha- ven road have met in joint session and will soon make demands upon the off cials of the system for a general ad- vance in wages. It Is claimed that the prosperity of tile road and the general good times warrant this increase in the wage scale.
 For several weeks the machinists, trainmen, engineers, yardmen and freight handlers have been holding ex- tra sessions at which the wage ques- tion was seriously discussed. Com mittees have had the matter in charge, and under the advice of the central la bor organizations it has been deemed expedient to make general demand. This demand for an increase for all employees would entail an immense out lay by the road were it granted, and yet the demand, If enforced by a strike of all hands, would be disastrous. It seems that the road will soon be be- tween two fires.

FEAT AND COAL

Coal is fossil peat The peat bogs of to-day might become coal beds in some future geoglogical age. Professor Po- tonie of Berlin, says there is a strict parallelelism between the different kinds of peat and coal. When the re- mains of plants collect under terres- trial, conditions an ordinary peat bog is formed. This corresponds with bright" coal. If the remains collect under water, an organic slime is form ed, and this corresponds with dull" or camel, coal. When terrestrial and aquatic conditions have alternated, during the collection of the remains, strata peat" results, and this corres- ponds with coal deposits consisting of alternate layers of bright and dull coal The chameical and physical pro- perties of the various kinds of peat and coal show similar correspon- Hence. ce.-Philadelphia Record.
