BURNS CLUB ANNUAL.
Every Available Space fh the Hall
 Was Taken Up.

Wae xHkcu Ops
 The annual concert and ball by the Burns club of Waterbury is a social feature in the life of the city that everybody waits for with pleas urable anticipation. Last evening the club celebrated its twenty-second anniversary in the City hall, and though the kilts were about the same and not change apparent in the faces of the wearers. and the per- formers in the stage program were as familiar as year ago, still the music of Bonnie Scotland seemed sweeter last night.
 The hall was crowded. There was not room for scores of people. though every available place was taken up. At o'clock the concert program began, and ably and sweetly and en- dearingly was 1t rendered. Each number was heartily encored and the quartets were particularly sweet and harmonious. There Was Lad" vertically brought down the house. but 1t was the Bonnie, Bonnie Bank O Lochlomond" that caused the audi ence to burst out with appause that was never before heard in the old City hall. The singers did not re- spond to the encores, but swung di- rectly into familiar "Auld Lang Syne," the final number. because 1t was getting late. But the audience would have waited as long as the singers were willing to sing.
 There were in the audience people who have never missed an anni- versary of the Burns club since it was established twenty-two years ago. and when the last number was sung they retired. for their dancing days are over. Their presence, however, was the greatest compliment they could pay to the club and the splen- did music. Mir Craig's dancing was enjoyed by the audience as much as by himself. The "Shean Trews," which brought out the orchestra. was delightful, but Sailors Hornpipe, danced in costume, was the feature of his part on the progras. For an encore he danced an Irish jig and the Lancashire clog. each fin. cos tune.
 It was an evening most delightful ly spent by those who attended. and 1t was the 14Sth anniversary of the birth of Scotland's exquisite but un- fortunate poet. Robert Burns.

 If the parents of any of the scholars of the Barnard school are indignant because their children are selling tickets for a raffle for $5 gold piece, the writer could not find any this morning, although he made several inquiries. The plan of raffiing $5 gold piece for the purpose of raising money with which to furnish the school building with statuary and pictures Is considered good one by all who are interested in the welfare of the school. The children of the various schools of the city have for a long time been bringing money in order to beautify their rooms with works of art. Principal Thomas Con- don of the Barnard school has the confidence of the Brooklyn people, and his corps of teachers is also con- sidered an excellent one. As to rais- ing money by the plan mentioned above, no complaints have ever been made to any of the teachers or to the principal.

The temporary injunction which the City Ice company obfained against Joseph aud Adolphus Zweibel restraining them from cutting ice Un Lakewood was dissolved this morning by Judge Peck of Bristol who heard the arguments in the matter yesler-s day afternoon. In view of the con- ditions of the lease held by the Zweibels. 1t is said tho att0rneys, Hunt and Pierce for the City Ice conl- pany, were not surprised Ut the de cision. Attorney Russell appears for tue Zweibels
 The City Ice company which 0D- tained a lease from the Great Brook Manufacturing company to cut the Ice on the pond, contended that ev- cry drop of water was necessary m the pond and William B. Brooks, treasurer of the Great Brook Manii- facturing company testified that tho concern would give any money to he able to. double the capacity of the pond. For said he. mot only s every drop of water in It absolutely necessary to the four of five brass ill- dustrles using the water, but four pr Ave thousand families get their bread and butter from these industries and to have them stop for want of water would ba q serious matter, for this large number of employees Attorney Russell wished to ascertain from Mir Brooks if he Is a stockholder in any of the concerns referred to and Mir Brooks pleaded with the court Tor protection, on the grounds that he did not want his private affairs to get in- to the public prints. The court d. lowed the question on the grounds that 1t was necessary to show MT Brooks interest in the matter and his Knowledge of what he was testlfy- ing and then he said he was trcas- urer of the Great Brook Manufactur- ing company. He had no idea of tho capacity of the pond, however. and said 1t had nevep been estimated or measured. He said that the state surveyor has been interviewed with regard to raising the dam and maps of survey of streams and land be- yond the upper pond have been made at great expense as it is proposed to increase the capacity of the pond if possible.
 As Mir Brooks was about to leave the stand he turned to the court aud said that this is serious matter tn- volving the livelihood of four or fiyc thousands of people, but the court cut him short saying that the attor- neys would make the arguments.
 Adolphus Zwelbel then testified that he had fourteen men cutting ice on the pond when the papers in the injunction were served upon him and he immediately stopped work. lcav- ing the cut ice in the water. He hal built large ice house and evidently will sell ice this summer. As 70 the decision on the injunction, it Is likely that the City Ice company will take the matter to the superior court.

Peanuts Were Too Speedy for the
 Casino Five.
 Bridgeport, Jan 26.-The Musante Bros, or the Peanuts as they are best known, turned the tables upon the Casino alley team of Waterbury last night, by trimming them badly, somewhat in the manner in which the Peanuts were treated in the Brass City two weeks ago. The Pea nuts took every point, the first by only two pins, though. and rubbed it into the visitors on totals by 311 pins.
 The totals were 2720 to 2409. The Peanuts score is the best made in the city in several months. Father Dudley was high with three nice strings all over 200 and totals of ell. He had to go some, for his opponent was Bostwick, who squeezed out high total of 216 and grand total of 602, but nine pins behind Dud. Fritz Musante was hitting the wood the best for the Peanut brothers. The score:

Hartford, Jan 2e.-Although Man ager Fraser had special pocket built in his waistcoat to accommodate the U. s. paper wagered on the pool games, the pocket was not large enough to hold the sums that were put up at campbell's last night on the game between George Britt of this city and Bob Stone. the Water bury champion Stone has claimed at various times 10 be the champion of this state and many thought he would win. But Britt has been fm- proving steadily and he is now in the best of form. Stone had a lead in the early stage of the game but Britt quickly overhauIed him and played more brilliantly.

 Racialiy Scandinavia has overnowed into Finland. The Fins are super for race because they are a mixed race of the mingled blood of Germans. Rus sians. Swedes.

During the re- cent heroic struggle of the Films against Russian aggression the brave women of the country worked equaliy with the men to secure their liberties, not did either men or women give up the fight till home rule and the per- feet legal and civil equality of the sexes were theirs. The women stood by the men, and the men stood by the women.

One familiar with the feminine costumes in different parts of Norway could tell at glance what part of the country a woman came from. But tourists. the everlasting British and American tourists. invaded every ford and corner of the North Way, which is what the word Norway means. Then for the first time in the history of the country Norwegian women began to understand what fashion meant. and now it is goodby to the picturesque old costumes. I suppose part of the Norwe- gian peasant girls are even putting themselves Into corsets.

 The comparative enlightenment of the women of country may be i'm fallibly judged by the interest they take in movements for the emancipa- tion and uplifting Of their own sex. Gauged by this standard Norway has her fair share of enlightened women. One of them is Fraulein Gina Krog, g handsome woman of Christiania. She edits a fortnightiy publication in Christiana and founded the first wo mans club in the kingdom. She Is a brilliant, eloquent public speaker.
 Another well known Norwegian wo- man is Fraulein Frederika Morek, a teacher and president of the Norwegian Women Teachers, Union. The modern movement of woman has reached even ita" and Marie Core1lrs "Thelma," land of the magical and mystical. land of the weirdly imaginative.
