Play in Union Hall Given for Benefit
 of St. Casimir's Society.

At o'clock Saturday evening a four act play called A Young Noble Pole in America was witnessed by a large au- dience in Union hall. The play was staged under the direction of Leo M. MalSowski, teacher and organist of St. Joseph's church, and was given for the benefit of St. Casimir's society. The story of the play is given in brief as follows: A young noble Pole was forced to leave college because of misconduct and while at home fell in love with a chambermaid of his fathers house. Both father and mother decided to send him to North America to make his way and gave him several thou sand marks to pay his expenses. He went to Chicago, where he wasted his time and money, and when his re- sources were nearly exhausted he worked as laborer. Just at this time he met his sweetheart, the chamber
 maid, and some time later he married her. This married couple in Chicago happened to be present at the be- trothal of another chambermaid of the same noble lord, and while the time there was made pleasant for them, the old noble lord and his wife unexpect- edly entered the house and greeted their son and his wife, who received from them a pocketbook of money. The daughter-in-law asked to stay with her, but the wife of the noble lord replied they would spend the rest of their days in Poland. The play was intermingled with songs, the singers being accompanied by MT. Makowski, and it concluded with dance. The music for the dance was furnished by the Polish orchestra. Those who took part in the production are as follows
 Rozie Marchelewska, Joseph B. Pysyl1, Catharine Chmielewska, Stan islaus Panek, Bartolomej Dombrowski, Frank Sznurkowski, John Jakubowski, Stanislawa Kosinska, Joseph c. Panek, Charlie Jaszczerowski, Zofia Makows- ka, Bronislawa Dwojakowska.

The session was plasant one and there was much of value as well as enter tainment in the remarks of the speak CTS. The one who, without doubt, doubt, made the biggest hit of the evening was the humorist, Jack Ar mour of New York, whose funny stor- ies, with the dialect in which they were told, kept his audience in an uproar and brought him hearty applause at the close. Burton Thomas, at the piano, and John and Frank Ulmer, vio- lins, entertained with selections throughout the evening.
 Mayor Murphy Extended Welcome.
 George P. Thomas, who presided, in- troduced as the first speaker Mayor T. c. Murphy, who was welcomed with applause. Mayor Murphy extended a hearty greeting to the guests and urg- ed that the state and national asso- citations of engineers would do well to hold their annual gatherings in Nor wich, where they would always be well comed gladly. He spoke of the ben efts which must arise from the or ganization of men whose work is such as that of the engineers. Such an as- sociation, said the mayor, advances the interests of the members by their con- tact with men who face the same problems, and in increasing the knowl- edge and efficiency of the members, advances the interests of the employ CTS.
 Responded to Mayors Greeting.
 The next speaker was National Vice President James R. Coe of New York city, who in opening his remarks ex- pressed his pleasure at the reception he had met with in this city, and said he could heartily endorse a movement towards holding the next state conven- tion in Norwich.
 The stationary engineers association, said MT. Coe. is different from other organizations of workingmen, in that person in order to become mem Der must first be an American citizen, and second must have sufficient knowledge to qualify as an engineer. Our members always tend to pull with and not ot\against eac hother and our organization does not interfere be- tween employer and employe. We have no strikes. our purpose being to have our members avoid trouble. We have no paid leaders and our officers are all men who have to work for living every day, as do the ordinary mem bers. Our 341 minor associations are all working for the benefit and better ment of conditions, both for the mem- bers and for the engineers who are not members. Where the members take i,1tn in and TUhora the association does it's work faith fully the community is without excep- tion bettered by it.
 Our educational features are carried I on along lines calculated to advance your knowledge and give you new | ideas, making you a better engineer | and thus benefiting your employer as | well.

AFTER COUGHING MONTHS
Brooklyn, N. " Woman Found Re-
 lief in Vinol.

Did you ever cough for a week? Then just think how distressing 1t must be to have a cough hang on for three months.
 Mrs. Maria Primrose of S7 Newell Street, Brooklyn, N. T.. says: T had a very heavy cold which settled into a chronic cough which kept me awake nights for fully three months, and felt tired all the time because my rest was broken. The effect of talk ing your cod liver and iron remedy Vinol is that my cough is gone. ! can now get a good nights rest and feel much stronger in every way"
 It is the combined action of the medicinal element cods' flyers aided by the blood making and strength creating properties of tonic iron which makes Vinol so efficient for chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis at the same time building up the weakened, run down system.
 Try bottle of Vinol with the un- derstanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you. Broadway Pharmacy, G. G. Engler' Norwich, Conn.
