Winter of 1eSe- 90.

MT. Editor: In The Bulletin of this date reference is made to a mild win ter p years ago This evidently refers to the winter of 1SS9190 as the win ter of p years ago, that of 1S90-91, gave a considerable amount of cold weather and snow. I personally know that the winter of 1SS9-9O was ex- tremely mild. It frequently did not freeze at night. Hardly any ice was secured; only very small quantity of 1 inch ice being cut in March Christi mas day the mercury registered over 50 degrees.
 The statement. however, that less than three inches of snow fell during the entire winter is certainly an error, at least as regards the vicinity of Windham, Conn.,, where I then resided.
 On Dec. fl there was a fall of six or eight inches of snow which made good sleighing, but melted in a few days About Jan. 10 there was some three inches, and a light fall occurred late in February.
 On March about foot of snow fell. and two or three days later there was a few inches more. These two falls gave a week of fine sleighing
 About March 20 several inches of snow fell and made good sleig hing. The day following the storm was very mild, however, and the snow entirely dis appeared. People who went to town in Sleighs were obliged to come home on bare ground.
 The only zero temperature of the winter occurred on March '.
 The preceding winter, that of 1SSs-89, while not as mild as the one previous ly mentioned, was unusually warm, ing harvested and not 8 day of good sleighing during the winter.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN
M oral Micrc bes.

In one of H. G. Wells fanciful tales planet Mars to this earth; they rava ge cannon are inpotent to harm them wh o can send a whole city up in smoke; but at last they are conquered-b- the microbe: they die of fever.
 It is not the single great crises that make or mar life; 1t is the swarm of petty thoughts and feelings that we breed in our subconsciousneSs.
 There seem to be cniritual bacilIi Most moral diseases come from minute and secret forces. Religious fanatic isms. where pe believe the most idiotic things with frenzy of self giving. exactly resemble those catch ing diseases that infect bodies. Those striking colla1ses of chara cter, where perfectly respectable people go off into the widest perversions, are like as if they had been bitten by some septic mosquito. Most criminal conditions of the soul seem rnalariaI
 In our studies Of ethics we have de- voted too much space to theo1ogical telescopy and not enough to psycho- logical microscopy.
 Man says Henri Fabre, the great French naturalist, ''cuts through the neck of continents to join two seas: he pierces the Alps; he weighs the sun: and he cannot prevent a wretched maggot from enjoying his cherries be- fore he does, nor an Sdious louse from destroying his zines. The Titan is vanquished by the pigmy."

pIMpLY? WELL, DON'T BE!
People Notice It. Drive Them Off
 With Olive Tablets.

A pfmp1y face will not emharrass you much longer. if you get a package of Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. The pimples will vanish after you have taken the tablets few nights.
 Nothing ever c1eansed the blood, the bowels and the liver like Olive Tablets.
 Olive Tablets are the only successful substitute for ca1omel they oil the bowels; there's never any sickness or pain-after takinP them.
 Olive Tablets do all that ca1omel does and just as effectively. but their action is gentle and safe instead of se- we're and irritating.
 No one who takes Olive Tablets is ever cursed with "a dark brown taste, :" a bad breath. a dull, listless. mo good feeling, con nstipation, torpid liver, bad disposition or pimply face
 Olive Ia bletS are made of pure vege- table compounds mixed with olive oil
 pr. Edwards spent years among pa tients afflicted with liver and bowel complaints, and Olive Tablets are the immensely effective result.
 Try them. Take one nightly for a week. Then look at yourself in the glass and see how you feel. 10c and

UNCLE ToM'S CABIN.

'The survival of the fittest' is amply illustrated in the long life of Uncle Toms Cabin, which has been before the pubMc for more years than most of this papers readers care to remember. That 1t will never die. but live on for eveF, seems an assured fact in so far as the Stetson company is concerned This famous dramatic organization is due at the Davis theater this afternoon and evening in an entirely new and up-to-the-minute dress For this req son Manager Washburn secured a cast of all stage favorites, each number having been selected for his or her special fitness for the respective parts. One Of the big scenes is the Suwanee river by moonlight. By the aid of lately invented mechanical and cleo trical devices actual scenes for miles along the stream. made famous in song and story, are unfolded to the eye in all their midsummer beauty.

BREED THEATER.
First Genuine Pictures of Actual Balkan Warfare, in Pathe Weekly.

Foremost on the splendid bill at the Breed today is the Marvellous Pathe Weekly, with it's countless series of in teresting events from the world at large. Here is shown the first genuine views of the Balkan war, taken right on the firing line. There is no ques- ton as to whether the opposing arm ieS mean business, when this picture is shown, for the air is filled with bursting shells, and cannon balls are seen ploughing through the foreground, scattering companies to right and left The scenes are without equal for speedy action and splendid soldiery, and they fairly teem with all that is thrilling, iTnbuing the audiences with the great enthusiasm that must dom mate these domains of war. Plenty of other superbIy presented scenes are presented on the Weekly among those being the great $2o0, 900 fire at Hobok- nn, which was discovered just at it's start, enabling the Pathe representa- - five to be on the spot almost imned Rtely. thereby making it possible to secure practically an uninterrupted view of the disaster.

THE ADELE MARGULTES TRIO Coming to Slater Memorial Hall on
 Tuesday Evening, Jan. f4th.

The second number in the Slater haE musical course will take place Tuesday evening, Jan. 14th, on which occasion The Margulies Trio will be the attrac- ton. This organization is no stranger bo a Norwich audience, as it appeared here several years ago in the Slater hall musical course and met with aA enthusiastic recep Gon. The same cele- brated artists compose the trio today, and 1t is because of this long assocta- tion and because each member of the trio is a finished artist that it has at tained such a remarkable perfection in their cooperation with each other, an exquisite balance of tone, and a unity of purpose that makes their playing of the very best sort of cham Der music The New York Evening Post thus comments upon recent concert by this remarkable musical or Sanixation:
 Miss Margu1ies and MT. Leopold Ldchenberg, last night after their splendid playing of Grieg's first sonata for piano and violin. had to rise after each movement, and were recalled at the end five times.
 Miss Margu1ies has never played better than she did last night. Her beautiful tone gave the charm of song even to the BrhaIns music, especially in the andante graNoso; and in the Grieg sonata she brought out, and by many subtle touches and poignant &C., cents, the true fnwardness of that h18hIy pOSIlc muS1c. would there were more ensemble players like heri When ever one hears MT Lichtenberg, one wonders why he does not appear more frequently as soloist at our orchestral concerts. He is surely far superior in every way to the virtuoSi usually in hicted on us; Kreisler or Ysaye could not have played better than he did last night. And as for MT. Leo Schulz, he has only one rival among violincel- lists of this country. His playing, like that of his associates, was a con- stant joy last night
 Seats for the concert by The Mar gultes Trio are now on sale at the store of Geo. A. Davis. Admission $2. All GeAta reServed

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Fear and Hate It. !,

MT. Editor. Many of our women are III douDc as to the wisdom of eiyfne the vote to women believing that the foreign women would out-vote the ma eiVe women. To any such doubters ]
 commend the following statement by
 Mrs 4. s. G. Taylor of Connecticut:
 Only 50 per cent. of our immigrants are women To offset this there are
 So,1S1,152 native born women in the United States, while the total of for eIgn born men and women together is only 13, ,868. Can you not see why the ward politician is fighting woman suffrage ?''
 When we consider that the three worst clements in our country are strenuously fighting woman suffrage- the ward politician, the liquor traffic CTS, the white slave traders-we must acknowledge that the anti-suffragists evil influences fighting day and night to defeat votes for women and spend ing millions of dollars? To work hand in hand with such corruption as the ant1s are is a fearful thing. They can not realize what they are doing.
 These workers of iniQuity must rub their hands together in gleeful satis- faction every time they hear of an anti speaking against votes for women. 1 read recently Of seven people riding in a Second-class compartment going from a suburb up to London to the theater. The subject of woman suf- trage was discussed while one well dressed woman was a silent listener. A member of parliament remarked. q hear that it is the white slave traffic that is behind the suffrage business" And so it is,' said the silent woman. The member of parliament argued that the white slave traffic could be stopped by the laws and religion of England. The silent woman answered: If you want to know what's the only thing that will stop the traffic I'll tell you. It's putting women on a level with men. putting them where men won't look upon them as animals to be used and played with: it's letting them have a chance to look out for themselves; it's giving them the Vote.'' T thought you were against the suffrag age," cho- rused her fellow passengers. As the train entered the station and she was about to leave she gave the parting shot which struck straight from the bitter truth: s'So I am, dead against it. ] hate it and fear it, because I know As she stepped on the platform she faced her companions with her fare well alutatfon-"I am procuress, and l know
 The antis fear and hate It." too. What horrible company to associate Withi l know of no greater argument in favor of votes for women than the fact that the trio-the word politician. the liquor interests, and the white slave trafic-have com bined to defeat it because they, too, fear and hate it.

Three Acts and Feature Films on Au
 ditoriun7's Prouramn1e Todav

ditorium>s Programme Today.
 Today the Auditorium resumes it's usual schedule of three acts, and the best the market affords in original photoplays. The Bernhardt films were both an artistic and financial success, and negotiations are now on for the last of the Bernhardt series, the films of which are owned by Daniel F1roh- man.
 Graham, Copes and Kane, who are known in the metropolis as That Rathskeller Trio, are on today's bill and their lively act is one that is ab- solutely new from start to finish. There is something about a good lively tune that when it is played on a banjo by ar accomplished musician sets every one's feet dancing. and this is just what The Alvinos will do when they start their act. This clever pair are both artists on the piano and banjo and their selections show good taste and Judgment.
 That the Auditorium sets the pace in both vaudeville and pictures is prov en by the many successful seasons this house has passed through, and while many may try to initiate the style of their popular shows, this house always has something new on tap.
