 Emma Calve, the great prima donna, | delights to tell of the time when she was 'err'o'E' terribly, poor. When she last Visited this country she told the story often to her friends, and I recall how she sail that slie and her mother lived in a dingy little room in Paris with little to eat and little to wear and few pleasures. ('hc morning when she and her mother sat dlsc"nsoiate Because nobody seemed to want to hear her songs and only the blank bare day faced them. suddenly through the open window a butterfly fit ted-a shining white butterfly.
 Such butterny-al gilt and silver and wonderful wings They forgot their hunger; they forgot their dcsolation-and they sat like two children watching the butterfly,
 All day they watched it-such a wonder ful, beautiful day-and what do you think? It did not end-dinneress. Some body wanted to hear the then obscure prna donna sins-Voila What luck. But the food that came along with the singing was as nothing in comparison to the joy that the butterhy's visit had given them!

When the engine was set going a pressure of go pounds at the nozzle and of 12G pounds at the engine was recorded by Chlef Stantons gauge. With one stream was 120 pounds at the nozzle and TO pounds at the engine. The same motor that drives the machine through the street furnishes the power for pump ing.
 The streams were thrown to an inn pressive height estimated at about 125 feet, and easily able to overtop any building in this city The machine that was here on Thursday was one that had only recently been assembled and had not been fully linbered up. so that it was claimed that much bet ter results could be made when it was fully equipped, as it was minus the usual complement of running boarls. side ladders, lanterns and a chemical tank which can be placed on it. It also carries 1,500 feet of hose.
 The three men in charge received many compliments after the demon stration was over. They ran the ma chine back to the central station and then left for New London, where they were to give a demonstration. From New London they were to go on to due to arrive Thursday night

 The men with the machine arrived here from Springfield shortly after 12 o'clock, having made stop at Willi- mantle. At Willimantic they gave no demonstration. MT. Gault said, because they were told the city had a pressure of 40 pounds in the hazardous busi- so that the Willimantic people thought they had no need of the motor-d driven apparatus.
 Chief Howard l.. Stanton received the visitors and their machine here and arranged for them to give a test on Falls avenue, where they could use the river water for their streams. Be- fore going to the river Chief Stanton had the machine make run to Mort n street, where the Vars barn was burn ed last Monday night, which they did in three minutes.

NORWICH SOCIALISTS
 GAINING IN MEMBERSHIP Entitled to Additional Delegate on Comm mittees-EIected Thursday Night.

Twenty-Five people, including one woman, were present at the weekly meeting of Norwich local of the so- cialist party on Thursday evening in the Stead building. It was the largest attendance in some time and was dis tinctly encouraging. In fact, the mem bership of the local has been so aug mented lately that it is entitled to one more delegate to both the county and state committees and these were chos- en at this meeting. Comrade Edward Perkins Clarke will be the additional delegate to the county committee and William Kellas was the choice for the state body.
 It was voted to send to every voter in Norwich a copy of the Speech on Tariff by Victor Berger, the socialist congressman from Milwaukee.
 A local executive committee of five delegates three from the American branch and two from the Polish branch of the socialist party in Nor wien, is to be formed, the men to rep ward Perkins Clark, Morris Taft and William Kellas. Meetings are to be held monthly and by it's directive ac tion action the committee will be able to concentrate the activities of the party in more effective manner.
 The press committee was instructed to draw up a protest against the ac ton of the legislature in turning down the workmen's compensation and em- ployer's liability acts. A motion to purchase more literature, the present supply having become depleted. was passed.
 The funds have been raised by the local wherewith to purchase one bond of the Milwaukee socialist daily paper that is soon to be issued.
 In the Norwich ranks of the party there are now seven women enrolled, wa ann1ic9 lions having bRPn acted D. on Thursday night, and the number of men is something in excess of 50.
 In New London Monday night. Com rade Isidore Polski spoke to a big au- dience and William Kellas will be the speaker in that city next Monday night. This evening, in Jewett City, Albert Boardman will give an address.
 Labor day is being anticipated with considerable eagerness by local social ists, inasmuch as on that date Com rade William A. Jacobs. the nominee for governor of Wisconsin in the last election, will come to Norwich and speak The address will be given in the evening, probably On Union square.

YACHT CLUB FLEET
 AT NEW LONDON SATURDAY.
Nearly 100 Vessels Assembled in
 Hampstead Bay to Start Cruise.

One of the largest sailing fleets that has gone eastward under the red crossed blue pennant of the New York Yacht club will put out of Glen Cove, L. l., at about mid forenoon to- day on the initial run of the annual cruise of the club. which brings them to New London harbor on Saturday.
 Interest centers this year in the big schooners with nearly 30 two -stickers tugginS at their anchor chains in Glen Cove as if eager to get into the five runs that will take the fleet to New Haven, New London. New Bedford and Newport.
 Of the sloop yachts, there are less than a dozen single stickers, while power boats. steam and gasoline, are also fewer than in former years.
 It seemed Thursday when yacht af- bay, in which Glen Cove is small port, that the old days of the New York Yacht club when the schooner held full sway, were returning. This was especially emphasized by the ar rival of the three masters Alcyone, Atlantic and Karina, and the two mas ters Elena, Westward, Enchantress and Irolita of which much is expected during the next nine days.
 The fleet began to assemble in the forenoon when some of the Boston yachts, the scllooners Emerald, owned by Lewis Clark. commodore of the Eastern Yacht club, Taormina, owned by William s. Eaton. and the sloop Adventures, owned by c. c. Rumr:ll, arrived.
 Just before o'clock the flagship Diana, with Commodore Ledyard Blair Capt A. F. Hummer and the regatta committee on board, came in from New York city and dropped anchor in the middle of 8 fleet that numbered nearly a hundred. Later in the evening all hands were formally welcomed on the after deck of the Diana. where the usual captains meeting was held.
