FATHER AND DAUGHTER Married the Same Day in Meriden- Records Reveal Interesting Facts.

The records kept by Town Clerk Herman Hess, on Monday revealed an Interesting matrimonial incident in the form of a double wedding in which a father and his daughter were partici- pants. The couple were Maurice w Spencer and Eva Bownes and Thomas w. Wright and Agnes Hollister, all of Eastfranpton Mass. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Willis A. Moore of St. Paufs Universalist church, says the Mer1den Journal
 Mir. Spencer and his bride are about fifty years old and she also had been married before. Mrs. HolIister had been freed bg the courts from a for mer matrimonial union, but she is not yet twenty-one years old and had to have her fathers consent to her mar riase to Wright, who is a few years her senior
 The couples went first to the par sonage of the First Methodist Episco- pal church Saturday afternoon but Rev. W. H. Kidd would not marry the younger couple because of the di- v-orce.
 MT. Spencer and his daughter are former residents of Meriden and that is the reason they came there for the double wedding.

BREED THEATER.
The Presidents Special, Thrilling
 Railroad Picture.

In the powerful melodramatic picture entitled the Presidents Special and selected for the feature picture for the Breed theater for the balance of the week the public will find a most novel and thrilling story. The telegraph operators obligations to remain on duty many hours without sleep, owing to the night operators illness, has made him unnaturally drowsy and when the message comes for him to sfdetrack the passenger train No. g and give the presidents special the right of way he is laboring to keep awake, and soon despite his efforts, hts head has fallen on his arm and he is unconscious. He is awakened by the train No. g passing the station and knows it is too late to save the lives that are bound to be lost in the wreck. His faithful wife, who has brought in his supper and heard him read the message, knows something is wrong, and, dashing out of the door, halls an auto and entering it commands the driver to cut cross country, and for a long time the train and auto can be seen in 8 wild race, but the auto reaches a bend in the road and the train is seen approaching and the wife jumps out and grasping her red shawl flags the train.
 A fascinating Biograph comedy is also on the bill and 1t is one of those of the irresistible order and there is a laugh for every minute.

Mime. Anita Diaz's Monks will re- main at this popular playhouse for the remainder of the week, but the three other acts will be replaced by the same number of new ones which prom fse to outdo any combination of vaude- vile turns yet seen here.
 The GroteSQue Randolphs, otherwise known as The Chink and the Lady, will present an aerial act full of fun and daring stunts. This act has met with much success in all of the larger cities 1t has played and it is only be- cause of an open date that the Audi horium management was able to secure this high trapeze novelty.
 The Girl in Trousers, Miss Winnie D. Crawford, makes a stunning ap pearanoe In male attire, while her voice and masculine movements are perfection itself to those she initiates.
 Blockson & Burns, blaclkface come dians of the first rank, will present burlesque on a strong mans act in which. by the aid of mechanical de- vices they do some would-be marvel ous stunts which will create the big gest laughs yet heard within the walls of the Auditorium.
 Marion Bradley will sing a catchy illustrated number and the motion pictures will be new and interesting.

POETRY.
FROM THE TREE-roP.

What would you see if took you up To my little nest in the air2 You would see the sky like clear
 blue cup Turned upside downwards there What would you do if took you there To my little nest in the tree? My child with cries would trouble the
 air,
 To get what she could but see. What would you get in the top of the
 tree
 For all your crying and grief7 Not a star would you clutch of all you You could only gather A leaf. But when you had tost your greedy
 grief,
 Content to see from afar, fou would find in your hand a. wither-
 ing leaf, In your heart q shining star.

BROADWAY THEATER.
Our New Minister.

For seven years Our New Minister has provided amusement for countless thousands of people from Maine to California.
 Joseph Conyers, who created the part of the constable at it's initial per formance ih New York, and who has contributed largely to its phenomenal success in all parts of the country, still retains his original role in the comedy that comes to the Broadway theater on Friday, March 25, matinee and night
 The comedy is irresistible, forceful and natural. Each type is clearly de- picted and appeals to everyone's idea of hunIor. The suspicious" constable. Some real gossip that delights every woman a boy who distributes current slang in an original way, several types that are real, and carload of special scenery and effects marks the produc- tion and with many of the original faces in the cast makes this one of the strongest organizations on the road.
