eral Opposed It..
Especial to The Bulletin


Hartford, April 14-After the hear
ing on the matter had been postponed
two or three times by the joint COM
mittee on banks, those behind the
charter for the Mystic Trust company
failed to put in an appearance this
afternoon, but the opposition was
present in force and made it plain to
the committee that there was, in their
opinion. no occasion for any more
banks in Mystic, where there are al
ready two The understanding is that
the parties behind the application for
the charter are County Commissioner
B. F. Williams and the Gilbert Trans
portation company A united sentiment
against another bank in the village has
developed.
Attorney H. B. Noyes of Mystic was
present to oppose the granting of this
charter as did Charles H. Latham.
3. L. Holmes. William E. Wheeler.
Granville Brown, Sidney Siswick, E.
d. Evans, A. w. Joy and DR.. L. M.
Allen.
They told the committee on banks
that there was no general call for an
other bank in the place, that the two
banks which are now there can han
die all of the business that there is to
handle locally and could handle more
If they could get it, and that the town
was one Of only 1000 population and
was not growing at rate which made
the extension of banking facilities
necessary
The committee took no action on
the matter after the hearing, but there
Is little reason to doubt that the meas
'ure Will be reported unfavorably.

For some diviner thing.

Above the shadows dank
As Uriel. from some great altitude,
The planets, rank on rank.
And now unseed along the shrouded

He blew a cadence on his mellow reed.
That trembled and was still.
1t seemed as Il a line of amber nre
AS IL mad blown wind from ancient
Laden with myrrh and musk.
He gave his Turing note amid the fern:
Its entgmatic fall
Haunted the hollow dusk with golden

BREED THEATER.
&C. @. D., or the Disaster of the Re-
public" Big Moving Picture.

without doubt, one of the most
thrilling moving pictures seen in this
city for a long time, is the one under
the title Of &C. Q. D." it being most
accurate picture Of the famous disas-
ter of the steamship Republic, the in
itials quoted being the wireless signal
of distress. as received by Gilman, the
wireless operator at the Nantucket
station, from the Republic. This SEN
sational picture shows infinitely the
wireless stations. the receipt of the
signal, the launching of the boats, and
all the events up to the rescue. This
is a picture of vital interest, and is
met with unbounded enthusiasm wher-
ever shown.
Another big picture, 1000 feet long,
is The Shippers Daughter, and is a
great novelty, as it deals wholly with
the water, and the splendid view am
ply repay one for making an extra eff
fort to see it. Two fine dramatic pic
lures are also shown, under the titles
of The Politicians Love Story, The
Golden Louis, while the comedy is
supplied by the screaming pictures,
Tag Day, and Bring Me Some Ice.
The exquisite waltz song, 1.-THE Kiss"
by Madame Morelle, is a marvel in
her hands. while the comic song,
"O'Brien Has No Place to Co." by Mr..
Delaney is a huge success.

At the Broadway.

No amusement enterprise Of recent
years in Norwich has been SUCH an
instantaneous success as vaudeville at
the Broadway theater. The fact was
conclusively demonstrated yesterday
when at the three performances the
theater was crowded. Standing room
was at a premium at the first show
last night.
The bill as clean and clever as any
ever shown at this playhouse was ap-
proved from start to finish. Today a
complete change of pictures takes
place and all those DESTROYS of seeing
a good show should not fail to at
tend the Broadway this week. The
matinees are ten cents to all arts of
the house and the admission during the
evening is ten cents, reserved seats
may be obtained in advance by paying
ten cents extra.

THE BLIND.

Never the sight of the setting sun,
Never the beauty of the trees,
Never the light OF the day begun.
Never the duty drawn from these.
Never a glance at a pretty fiow'r,
Never a sight of the oceans grace,
Never trance from Visions poW'r,
Never the light of human face.
Always the gloom OF the starIess night.
Always the thought OF unmeaning
day,
Always the doom of Imprisoned sight.
Always the naught Of the unfelt ray.
Always the doubt OF a cropping hand,
Always the city with sky unlined,
Always the cloud OF lightless land,
Always the pity-hampered mind
But who shall say that their loss and
woe
Is measured not by a master. -mind,
Nor balanced with joys that only grow
