ENTHUSIASTIC GREETING
 FOR ALMA CHUCK
Encore to the Prima Donna in First Number of Academy Musical Course.

All of Norwich seemed to be at Slater hall on Tuesday evening and certainly all who were there were sorry for any others who might not have been. A prima donna in our midst is still enough of a novelty to be a great attraction in spite of the wealth of musical talent which we constantly enjoy and Madame Gluck's first appearance here was eagerly awaited. Of course she won her way into popular favor immediately No one but a savage could reman in sensible to her charm and gracious ness or fail to respond to her sunny cheeriness and bubbling good nature, and not even the veriest musical pa gan but could recognize the perfect beauty of her art.
 It was a song recital to finger low ingly in the memory, worthy suc- cessor to the many other fine concerts of the Academy Musical courses and an suspicious opening for the present one. The program was a versatile one, songs in varying moods and styles, taken from the work of composers in many lands and sung in five different languages. First came the serious ones from Gluck. Beethoven and Mo- zart. Then group by Weingartner, Mahler, Strauss, Paladilhe and Week. erlein, followed by an old English song. The sweetness of the Bohemian Cradle song, the weird music of Rach- mannioffs Peasant song, the plaintive Chanson Triste by Zimbalist, the li- quid, flowing notes of the Chanson h. done from the legend "Sadko" by Rim sky -Korsakoff, which was especially admired and the Shepherd Lehl by the same composer made up the charming third group.
 In the fourth group the full witch cry and dramatic intelligence of the singer came into play. Allah by Chad wick, The Black Bird by Parker, and Cadmans From the Land of the Sky blue Water, were given in Madame Gluck's own delightful style and gra- ciously repeated. The Chimes by Nor rell was another exquisite rendering. The last on the program was Cot tenets' Red, Red Rose, but no one wanted her to close and she respond { ed to the enthusiastic applause with charmingly rendered Scotch soSg. Her accompanist was Arthur Rosen- stein.

ROBERT BURNS BANQUET.
Annual Gathering of the Scotchnen Will be Held January 2+Plans to Make It the Best Yet.

The committee which has in charge the arrangements for the annual Roberts Burns banquet met Tuesday evening at the Wauregan hotel to plan for the event which every year proves a joyous occasion for the men of Nor wich who claim Caledonia as the land of their fathers. The usual date for the banquet is the 25th of January but as this date falls on a Saturday this winter which would make 1t in- convenient fer many it has been de- cided to hold the celebration on Fri day night the 24th, at the Wauregan
 house. The committee in charge of the arrangements is composed of Harry D. Mitchell, chairman James Hollin, Alexander Sharpe, Reid Mcintyre and
 Gavin Wilson, who have successfully
 conducted previous banquets on this anniversary. The usual big merry
 crowd is anticipated and the number of covers is to be limited to 200.
 As the occasion comes on Friday
 there will be imported fnnan haddies
 and kippered herring which have al- ready been ordered from the land of the heather, as we'll as imported Scotch Ssortbread. The souvenirs will al- so be imported. It was the unanimous | choice of the committee that John Mc- dougall who has presided in so pleas ing a manner on similar occasions in the past should again hold the posi- tion of toast master.
 Mayor T. c. Murphy is to be invited
 to speak at the banquet and other &C., complished speakers and talented tenor and soprano singers will furnish a high class programme, calculated to
 surpass even the successes of other years. Senator c. R. McLelland of | Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., may possibly be
 secured for second chief speaker.

TAFTVILLE
Child Drops Lighted Match in Basket of Clothes, Causing Fire in Front Street House.

Mary Jane, the four-year-ol daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. Nelson Manvllle of No. 5 Front street, set fire to some clothing hanging in the hall of their tenement about Il o'clock Tuesday morning that resulted in considerable damage to the walls, ceiling and wood work of the hall. Mrs. Manville was in her kitchen preparing dinner at the time the fire started and did not know anything of it until told by neighbors.
 The child went upstairs unnoticed by her mother and finding a match in one of the rooms scratched 1t on the wall. When the match burned up she became frightened and instead of putting it out dropped it into a bas- ket of clothes. The clothing blazed up in the basket and set fire to other clothing hanging on the wall. Soon the hollway was in blaze and was in this condition when seen by people outside of the house. William Perry, who was standing just outside the house saw the flames first and at once investigated. By this time the ire de- partment had been told of the fire and in a few minutes had the hose cart f in front of the house. As soon as she learned Of the nre

POLICE GET LONG SOUGHT MAN
Edward Handrihan Accused of Endorsing Check With William Brazzils Name is Arrested-Has Been Gone From City Since June-Spotted by Policeman Michael Carroll Soon After He Returns Here


 Edward Handrihan of North Cliff street, for whom the police have been looking since about the first of June, returned to this city Tuesday morn ing and within few hours was in the lookup. where he is held on charge of forgery. The complaint against him is based on a check for S44 which he had cashed on the night of Saturday, May 31st which was made out to the order of William Brazzill and was en- dorsed in that name, but not by MT. Brazzill.
 Policeman Michael Carroll was sit ting in police headquarters Tuesday afternoon about o'clock when he hap pened to look out of the window and saw a man whom he at once recog- nized as Handrihan coming along by the Otis library. That's Ed Handri ham," he said to Chief Linton, and started out after the man, who had gone up Church street, catching up to him and bringing him back to police headquarters.
 Handrihan, it is charged, was given a check to take to William BrazZill, drawn by Frank Arrigoni & Bro. a contracting firm for whom he was working on state road work in Frank lin last summer. The check never reached MT. Brazzill, but was taken by Handrihan to Joseph Bedard of this city, who cashed it for him for the full amount of $44.
 The check was drawn on the Gen.

Recent letters from Rev. E. H. Smith, in China, tell of his moving back from Feechow to Ing-hok, No. l, and of his plans for and great need of a new church building and chapel there. The church is crowded every Sunday, he writes, and the great im- portance of the new church down on the city street is felt every day. He writes: We ought to have the church and Y.aM. 0. A. inaugurated down there at once. Gifts for this are com ing slowly. I hope we can begin work on it this coming fall and winter.
 We sorely need such a building Tor the sosial work of the city of 1ng-hok. I believe,tt will have a great influence on the city and that the methods wln be adopted by other churches. AS the young men in Ing hok said to me: We have no. place to go to at night except the gambling joints and the opium dens." There is no social life In the Chinese home. 43-1s
 Later he writes: We do see progress year by year; teachers improve and boys work harder. We get the Couriers and read the Norwich doings with great interest.
 The Sunday schaol of the First Con- rreeationsi :. church is devoting the weekly collections for ten Sundays in all towards sum which will be sent for the new church. This coming Sun day will be the last collection, which already amounts to $29.42.

tral National bank of Middletown, but before it got back there in the regular course of exchange the contractors had learned that Mir. Brazzill had not re- ceived it, and they stopped payment on it and the police were informed of the circumstances and asked to look for Handrihan.
 He had disappeared, but the police of other cities in the state were noti- fled, but without results. At one time a man was found dead under bridge in Hartford with Handrihan's name written on a piece of paper in his pocket. and relatives of his went to Hartford to identify the remains, but found 1t was not the Norwich man who had lost his life. Chief Linton ex- pected that something might develop from this clue through the work of the Hartford police, but nothing resulted that would locate the man the Nor wich police wanted.
 Handrihan told Chief Linton that he had been working around New Britain and New Hartford and also at Westbrook. The chief had a line on him at Westbrook during the summer and a constable was sent there after him, but failed to make the expected arrest. That the man wanted was picked up so quickly after his return to his home town is evidence of the Wideawake methods of the local de- partment which make it one to be feared by transgressors against the law.
