25Oth ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
of the
Founding of Norwich, July 5th and 9Th
BROADWAY THEATER WILL
CLOSE THIS EVENING.
Vaudeville and High Class Attractions
Will Be Resumed in Aug1st-Big
Audience TO See Strong Men.


Manager Hill of the Broadway thea
ter stated on Friday evening that the
theater win close its vaudeville and
picture season tonight, to open again
in August with vaudeville and high
class attractions.
The vaudeville and picture attrac-
lions, he stated, had simply been an
experiment here and it will not be
tried in Bridgeport. It Is understood
that the patronage was not sufficient
to warrant the continuance here. The
theater has been opened for these at
fractions under the Jackson Sheedy
company management since the 18th of
April. Manager Hill will remain with
the Sheedy circuit, being located at
Fall River or Newport, and may re-
turn here when the theater reopens:
There was a large audience at the
Broadway theater on Friday evening to
see the efforts Of local aspirants in the
lifting content. The Bitgood brothers
were there and went on to the stage
getting q big hand as they did, but
they refused to have anything to do
with the bag of sand They would
not even try to lift it and that brought
forth derision from the audience, hiss
ing and shouts being hurled at them,
but they never budged. One of the
Apollo brothers offered them a side bet
of $3.50, but that did not start them
The larger one was asked IL he did not
put himself forward as the strongest
man in the world, to which he replied
that he did, but he would not tackle
the bag of sand. This was very DIS
appointing to the audience, but 1t was
reported later that they had agreed to
go on and try the sandbag tonight
Those who had made the best try
during the week-Messrs. Mack, Mara
and Austin-entertaine the audience
by their efforts, but were not success
full in lifting 1t. They divided the $40
between them. William Dolan didn't
get a chance to compete in the final

The travel directed is necessary in
the military service.
The war department has perfected
practically all the plans for the army
manoeuvres to be held in the New
London artillery district this summer.
OF coast defences, and the Connecticut
coast artillery will work will the reg
ulars as last year. There will be IA
companies OF the militia all members
of the coast artillery corps. There
will also be a detachment of the med
ical corps with their officers. The
exercises will be held from July 10
to July "a.
The war department does not con-
template any infantry manoeuvres for
the Connecticut militia, and the coast
artillery will be the only corps used
this summer. This wass the cast last
year, and the department found then
that it worked well. The regular army
officers expect to improve conditions
of last summer, as the men are now
more familiar with the work than be-
fore.
The forts of the Sound will be a
very busy place at least part of the
summer, when the troops are up there
and the naval cadets from Annapolis
make the naval station harbor their
headquarters. The annual cruise of
the graduating class at Annapolis will
leave in June, aid will rendezvous at
New London during July. The ships
to take part in the cruise are the
Olympia, Chicago, Hartford, and prob
ably one or two monitors. Practically
the whole cruise will be in northern
waters.
Col. E. NJ. Weaver Of the war de-
partment, who has charge Of the mil
itia division, on Friday received no.
tice from the adjutant general of the
Connecticut that no on-commission-
ed officers were wanted by the state to
serve with the militia. The war de-
partment recently sent to the govern
ors of the various safes notices that
they could have non-commissioned of
ficers for instruction purposes during
the coming summer. under a recent
order Of the department.
No reason is assigned for the re-
fusal of the adjutant general.

BILE of governing herself is to Ely in
the fact of history. India governed
herself thousands of years. In h his
tory of India, we find empires as IL
lu%strious and well ordered as any IN
Europe" The same objections were
made by the supporters of Lord
North's government regarding the
American colonies-that "if left to
their own direction they would speed
lily fall into mutual strife, anarchy
and ruin" In like manner when ia
pan began her modern career it was
generally predicted that she could not
carry on a government under modern
conditions. At the time England first
entered India, three hundred years
ago, the old Mogul Empire was break
ing up new political n military ad-
justments were forming and the coun-
try vas in a state of unusual turmoil
which gave the English their opportu-
nifty. But this was a temporary condi-
