New Management in Control.

Tuesday evening, January g, 1901 al s:l5 o'clock, the first curtain WAS rung up at the Bradley theatre. The play was, "A Runaway Girl" The house was packed: the manager was MT. German. For over seven years Mir. Gorman has continued To manage the house. Last Saturday night the final curtain was rung down under his ma nagement, and on Monday Messrs. Steinberg X klebart, of Webster, the new leasees, assumed control. Mr. German will now devote himself to his many other business interests in the city. A theatre is quasi public enterprise, and the public Is severe critic, and managers position k stfe- nuous and trying. When one has To serve the public 1t is impossible To please every one, whether il is govern ing city, umpiring A ball game, or managing theatre.
 Mr. German, during his manage ment, gave the city clean, wholesome entertainments, and it is doubtful if any city the size of Putnam has had as many and as high class productions as have appeared at the Bradley Theat re during his regime.
 Monday, the citizens al large were the guests of the new management, and both afternoon and evening Front street was packed with seething but good natured mass of humanity. waiting for the doors to open. At both entertain ments the house was packed, and thete was an overflow that couldn't get in.
 Messrs. klebart X Sternberg have made some changes in the house by placing the picture machine in the bal eony, where il is enclosed in a dre-prooi booth, and using ealsomined cloth Oil which to throw the pictures.
 For the evening entertainment a big party came down from Webster, the home town of the new managers, and marked the opening day by presenting them some beautiful floral remem- brances.
 The new theatre staff is made up of Edward Nicholson baritone, of Boston, who sings the illustrated songs; Philip Levi, of Boston, operator; Harry J. King, of Webster, tenor; Miss Mae smith, of Putnam, pianist; Miss Mar ,,,,.rita l.. oith fiaEar Saltar
 There was another large gathering on Tuesday night, when the city and town officials and representative citizens were guests of the management.

WHEAToN-BRIGHA
 Cards have been issued announcing the marriage of William Edgar Wh.f- ton. of this city, to Miss Helen Ido a Brigham, of Macon, Ga. last Mon day morning, May 18th, at the home of the brides parents at Macon. The young couple will be at home after Ser- tember lst, No. 57 Fremont street, this city.
 From the Macon Telegraph we take the following account of the marriage; "A very pretty home wedding occur red at the residence of Col. w. D. Brig ham, Forsythe Road, on Monday, the 26th inst, when his daughter, Helen Idora. was united in marriage to Will liam Edgar Wheaton, of Putnam, Ct The extensive grounds were brilliantly illuminated with Japanese lanterns and incandescent bulbs of various col ors. The entrance hall was decorated with towering oleanders and magno- lias. while the front drawing room. where the ceremony was performed, and the entire lower floor of the house, which WAS thrown open to the guests, were efficiently trimmed with South ern smilax and bamboo wires.
 The immediate family witnessed the ceremony, which was performed by the Rev. Dr. Mae Lauchlin, of the Tattnaii Square Presbyterian church. The only attendants were. the sister of the bride, Mrs. II. B. Hopson, as Matron of Ho- nor, and Mir B. Hopson, who acted as best man.
 Immediately following the ceremony there was a reception and collation. du- ring which the bride cut and distribu- ted the brides cake.
 MT. and Mrs. Wheaton left cn the midnight train for Savannah, en route for New York city, followed by the good wishes of their many Southern friends
 The same paper Of the 24th inst, prints the following item:
 IA private dance was given at North Highland Park, Saturday evening, by MT. and Mrs. Harry B. Hopson, in honor of.their guests, MT. William E. Wheaton, and Miss Helen I. Brigham, of Putnam"

Killingly Bi.centennisI.
Dsughrer Towns and General Fuhsic In
 vited.

The public at large and especially the towns of Thompson and Putnam, with each inhahitant thereof. are invited 10 the Bi-centennial Celebration of the town of killingly, to be held July I'd, Sd, 4th and 5th.
 Killingly was incorporated May 26th, l70s, and its citizens are arranging for proper celebration of its aqth ami versary during the first week of next July.
 The territory originally comprised in the town was described in the original grants as the northeastern border land between the Quinebaug River and Rhode Island. It was known as the Nhetstone Country.
 From this large township of Killing ly was set oil later. upon June 2s, i7sa, the northerly portion is the town of Thompson. Again, in comparatively recent times, July 8, 1855, the town of Putnam was organized and, as is well known, was given territory from the towns of Killingly, Thompson and Pomfret.
 Hence il is, that Thompson, all of whose land was taken from killingly; and Putnam, part of whose territory was set off from Killingly, are partieu- larly interested in killiagly's hi-eenten. nial. The early history of the Thomp- son and n part of the Putnam territory k the history of killingly.
 Recognizing this fact, the killingly ki-eentennial Association already has invited the executive officers of the municipal corporations of the town of Thompson, the town of Putnam and the city of Putnam to this celebration.
 By this article, the killingly Btcen- tennial Association further invites the people of the town of Thompson and of the town and city of Putnam to attend this bi-centennial and to feel and make il their own celebration.
 The program for the four days fol- lows:

Joseph II, Townsend, NJ, n, Secreta- ey of the State Board of Health, in his "Nonthly Bulleiin,' says: "ln order to increase the facility with which phy- sicians in the State may obtain diagno- se> of certain infectious diseases, the Laboratory, at Hartford, is now pro pared to place directly in the hands of the physicians the outfits for sending specimens of tuberculosis, typhoid fe- yer and malaria. These outfits have hitherto been obtained through tho health officers only, but any physician hereafter, who desires to have them sent directly to him may do so by ap- plying to Prof. Conn, the Director of the Laboratory, IL is hoped that this greater convenience will increase the frequency with which the opportuni- ties of the Laboratory may he used, es- pcciaily in the ease of tuberculosis.

J E ratsm Offer. to Donate La for n

J. IHfein Oilers to Donate La d for Street.
 We recently called attention to the
 transformation that has been going on
 for some years in Grove street, until it
 has become one of the most beautiful in
 the city. The spirit of improvement still
 stirs its residence to diligence MT. ]. 1 E. Tatem thinks il would increase the
 attracliveness of his fine large grounds
 to have street on the west end laid out. He has offered to donate the land if the city will work the street. The city was wisely restricted 10 build no more streets less than forty feet wide,
 and if the new street k built, that will
 be its width. Among it's completed improvements k King stfeet-already
 possessing many handsome houses.
 All that section of the city K alive to
 the importance of keep up the attrac- tive appearance of their homes, and II has brought there many desirable eiti- zens 10 build homes for themselves. If this fact becomes better realized we may see other sections forging ahead in
 bettering their present condition. Put nam can be made delightful city Of homes, as it is well adapted for such
 purpose. When our citizens get well organized for bettering and improving the entire city as il should be, and as few have already done, il will be a revelation to some how slow they have been to grasp the opportunities that boIeier spirits have seized. Some of the most forbidding spots have been made to look charming. Something of that
 kind can now be seen going on along
 Farrows street, and the remarkable feature to be noted is that the enter
 pfising men are likely to coin wealth from what others regarded as their fol-
 ly when they started in.
