A FINE ENTERTAINMENT.

4 T lNE ENI NIEhIAlNWENI.
 Monday evening, March Is, an enter tainment was given in the, Congrega- tional church under the auspices of the Music committee. It was a recital giv- en by Donald A. Adams of New Haven, musical director of the choir, assisted by Hestor Commette, violinist of Bridgeport, and Miss Mildred E. Tuck CT, Miss Millie Belle Burton presiding at the piano. The recital consisted of a number of solos, most pleasingly ren- dered by MT Adams, who also gave several recitations in a very efficient way. He also sang two charming duets with Miss Tucker, which were enjoyed to their fullest extent. Miss Tucker sang an enjoyable solo, which was rendered even more so, if that could be, by MT Commette assisting her on his violin. MT Commette is a most efficient young violinist and his three solos were indicative of much skill and were much enjoyed. Miss Burton, at the piano, rendered the ac- comp animents in her usual pleasing style. Those who had previously heard MT Adams were there, of course, and those who had not, knowing what a treat was in store for them, were in attendance, the church being filled. Indeed. each and every number on the program was most thoroughly enjoyed, and all hope to soon again have the pleasure of listening to Mir Adams and his skillful assistants,

Social Incident Makes Society Smile

ing upon his ~undoubted right to de-
mand first place or none he did the
worst thing possible.
What if it is his right and duty
to say he will not walk behind a mere
private citizen" said a minor diplO-
matte society man in discussing the
incident. What good will that do him
when Mr.. Taft is the president? Will
the then president have forgotten that
the minister said he would not dance
in the German with him."
1t was tactless for M. GUIDE to even
suggest his rights to a pig of a mai
ire de hotel" say the diplomats, be-
cause he should have known that the
hotel man would tell the newspapers
about it and in that way his refusal
would come to the ears of Mr.. Taft.
The only thing at all in favor of the
minister is the fact that there is not
a great deal Of diplomatic business to
transact between Norway and the
United States and Mr.. Taft is likely
to be so busy for the first few months
after he goes into Office that he will
forget there was such a man as GUIDE
or that he ever declined to walk
through the German behind the mas1
sive back Of William Howard. Taft l.

Pennsylvania railroad, which, accord
Ing to a compilation just completed, is
shown to have 1850 active employees
who have been with the road 40 years
or more. In addition 1913 men served
the company more than 40 years, but
have retired from active work, and are
receiving pensions regularly from the
company. The census. of the civil
service of the United States showed
on July 1, 1907, that those who had
been in the service of the national
government for more than so years
numbered 40 men and one woman. On
the other hand, the Pennsylvania rail
road records show that to-day there
are on the pay rolls of the company
316 men who have been in it's service
more than so years.
