PLANS FOR THE
ESSAY CONTEST
Greater Interest to Be Taken This
 Year, 1t Is Expected.

Since the announcement on Mon day morning that Divisions No. 1 and ? of the Ancient Order of Hibernians would again carry out this year their essay contest for the school children Of Norwich and wherever The Bulle- tin circulates. the officers of the two divisions have been learning that there promises to be even more interest and closer competition in it this year than there was last. Between 100 and 200 essays were received for the judges 10 look over and there promises to be more than that this time.
 Rev. w. A. Keefe, who was made the general committee in charge, has outlined the plans much the same as last year. Essays are limited to 50J words and are to be upon the general subject of the Irish in American his tory, touching tn achievements of men of this race in either military, indus trial, religious, philanthropic, literary or any other lines. Last year some essays were received from Westerly school children. and this time it is hoped that even more of the school children outside of Norwich may be interested to compete.
 Impartial judges of ability will be selected and a time limit will be duly announced in which the essays may be handed in, and also the postoffice or other address to which they are to be sent. The time limit will probably be about the first of March, as that will only leave about time enough for the judges to look over the produc- tions before March 17th to decide who shall be the fortunate ones to obtair, the three prizes into which the $25 of fered is to be divided. The committee wants to see representatives of every possible school in the competition and for that reason invites every ambi- tious scholar to send in an essay.

Kisses as Markers.

A new method of marking time has been introduced by Conductor Joe Cor don. who is one of the most popular trainmen on the Amboy division of the Pennsylvania.
 Notwithstanding his sweet and gentle nature it almost makes him peevish when he has to hold his train while a lot of lovely women kiss each other goodbye.
 Recently Joe stopped his train at a station where no less than twenty women were congregated. Some of them were going away, and some of them weren't, and just as the last mo- ment arrived everybody started in to kiss everybody else.
 All aboardl" he finally shouted ''Thfs train for Philadelphia and way stations
 "Oh, Mir Gorlon,'' gushfully cried a little fairy, wait just a minute, won't you; I must kiss Bessie goodbys.''
 "An right" returned Joe, heaving a large. sad sigh, but as quick as you late now"

Telling the Time in Egypt.

The working of the Oriental mind was delightfully."- illustrated in a story which Prof. Turner told the mathemat- ical association recently. He had been spending the Christmas vacation in Egypt to supervise the erection of a telescope at Helouan. Captain Lyons, who was in charge of the instrument, said that he had found that at noon every day gun was fired and was anxious to know how the system worked.
 Accordingly he interviewed the gun ner and asked how he knew when to give the signal "Oh. I look at my watch said the official And how do you correct your watch?' asked the captain. 'I take it to the maker in Cairo and he tells me the error" Forthwith Captain Lyons interviewed the watchnaker and asked him how he checked the error of the watch. T get the correct time from the gun, said the simple Scraftsman-- And thus time was told in Egypt. IT London Standard.

The Girl from Rector's.

The first theatrical performance at Broadway theater this year, and for several months, was The Girl from Rector's on Thursday evening, it being a return engagement. The audience was of fair proportions and accorded the cast much applause for their work. The four-act play from the French was given a good presentation, although the cast is a different one than seen here previously. Dorothy Arville played Loute in all the abandon required, while Harry Pauli was Richard, and Richard Warner filled the role of Tan- dy. As Prof. Maboon the work of J. s. Murray was excellent and he got big hand. The other members of the cast were well selected and contrib uted to the successful production. The staging was fine.
