STILL PROVIDING FOR
 POOR OF THE CITY
Salvation Army Has Given Out Dim ners for 150 Since Christmas-Cases of Real Need Found.

Although 115 baskets of food, enough to feed TOO people, were given away to the deserving poor of the city for Christmas dinners by the Salvation Army, 150 have since been taken to other families who have been found in need and want. Many of these people were recommended by friends of the army who are interested in the work of lessening the suffering of the poor of Norwich.
 Several weeks ago kettles were placed in the square as an appeal to those who wished to contribute tow ards these Christmas dinners, but the total amount fell little short of Captain Wilbur's expectations. Five hundred appeals have been sent out to business men of the city and over 100 have been answered There are many cases of need in the city, as may be shown from one case found by Cap tain Wilbur's assistant, MT. Faufau. He went into one house Friday where he found an old woman without fire 1 coal or wood, and without food. She was living in two rooms that were given her by a neighbor, but there was | little comfort, as the ceiling leaked SC i bad that she was forced to use dishes 1 to catch the water, and the floor was all wet The old lady had been in bed | sick for two days and was unable tc rise. This is only one of the many cases that exist about the city, whicf
 shows that the support of the public is badly needed to carry on the relic
 work.

CALVIN T. DOATH
 MISSED SEVEN FINE FOWL And the Men Who Stole Them Have Been Rounded Up by the Police.

On the eve of Christmas, seven chickens disappeared from the roost of aClvin J. Roath in East Norwich. The circumstances pointed naturally to the visit of chicken thieves About midnight Officer Maloney saw two men stepping along, one ahead of the other in that same neighborhood, each car rying a good sized dress suit case. The officer followed them to the top of Fox's hill, where they discovered that they were followed and stopped. They were unable to explain why they were there satisfactorily, and Officer Maloney brought them over to police headquarters, the possibility being present that the two men might be connected with the chicken thievery. The men were non-committal and asserted their innocence strenuously and it was not until nearly noon Fri day that Chief Linton was able to draw from the men full confession about their depredations in MT. Roath's hencoops. Both were Italians, | giving their names as Frank Anto- nette, about 35 and Nick Sarrie, 1S and they have been living in a room | in the old schoolhouse on School 1 street.
 When the men were arrested the suit cases were empty, but in one oi them were found a number of feathers and of the color corresponding to MT | Roath's missing Rhode Island red | fowl. A search in the schoolhouse or the hill disclosed two more fowl witf their necks wrung and the heads stil on. The men confessed that they had eaten two and had sold the othel three, which were not accounted for l On Thursday night they were evident
 ly out on similar expedition.
 They were presented In police eour
 Friday morning, but only briefly, ant
 they will be up again today. the cas-
 against them having been preparet

AT THE DAVIS THEATER.
The Anoelus,

Before two audiences, matinee and evening, at the Davis theater Friday, Neil Twomey's The Angelus was pro- duced in an excellent manner by well balanced cast, and this play of happi- ness made on the whole a distinctly good impression. In his impersonation of Father O'Brien, Harrington Reynolds had abundant scope for the display of his abilities, and these he showed were more than ordinary. Jean Eagles as Shelia Beveridge made a sweet and alluring heroine, f1ckle withal As Jeff Norton, Clyde Franklin held the sympathies of the audience throughout the play, and w. w. Shuttleworth car- ried out capably his hard and rather unsatisfactory role of villain. Harold Grau and Elsie Southern contributed to the lighter side of the play with their love bickerings. and Mrs. Murphy's character was faithfully portrayed by Miss Ockerman. Maurice Ryan sus- tained we'll the part of Papa Beveridge. The play contains a pretty love plot and after many vicissitudes of fortune the hearts are united and The Angelus tinkles joyousy.
