Neil o'Brien at The Mahaiwe

Having fully demonstrated his popu- larity last season as a minstrel star and producer, Neil o'Brien is now in his second season at the head of his own organization, and will appear at The Mahaiwe Theatre. Great Harrington, on next Tuesday night, August 6, with a new supporting company, all new fea- lures and an entirely new and elaborate equipment of scenery and paraphernalia, The Neil O'Brien Great American Min strels. The first annual tour of this famous minstrel comedian proved so suc- cessful that he has felt encouraged to place in the field this year a company and production which is considered by many to be the biggest and highest salaried organization of its kind that America has enjoyed for many years.

When the Cat Came Back.

We know why Doc" Ross cat came back to Canaan. The cat had heard Jonn Rodemeyer and the other bald heads discussing the banquet of the Bald Head Club of America to be held next October, or else it had been around when the one of 1919 was held, and didn't pro- pose to be left on any of the really good things happening in this country in 1913.
 Cats. after all, have a lot of good, hard common sense, and, apparently, reason ing ability not to be sneered or cata- walled at At least, Canaan cats have, as has has been fully illustrated in the case of tho long tramp Doc" Ross cat took from away up somewhere in the Adirondacks back te Canaan-land of milk and honey-and baldhead club feasts. There is no use retelling the tale about this cat now because the press of the state, including The Post. has already exploited it, and it was some tale told in Rodemeyer's very best vein, and Rode- meyer is some yarn spinner at that. So this writer will let it pass with these few comments.-Hartford Post.

Mrs. OIin's Death.

Concerning the death of Mrs. F. M Olin, five weeks after she was injured in the railroad wreck at Canaan, Coro' ner Herman is quoted as saying he would make an investigation. In this connection the Coroner expressed the opinion that the law concerning Coro. ners' duties was wrong in that it did not give him the right to investigate ex. cept in the case of actual death. He thought the Coroner should have the right to investigate when death seemed probable. In the present case, he said, the time elapsed between the accident and the death was considerable, and there was always chance that much evi. dence might appear.

Fifty Years a Mason,

MT. Alonzo s. Austin, of Southfield, formerly of Millerton, was visitor in town Monday. MT. Austin ran stage and carried the mails between Millerton and Falls Village for many years, before the Connecticut Western railroad was built, over 40 years ago, and is we'll re- membered by the older residents all along the route. He joined Webotuck Lodge, F. and A. M., Nov. 20, 1863. the same date on which "Nick" Best, the well-known Millerson railroad man. joined, and they two are the oldest members of the lodge. In honor of their fiftieth anniversary in Masonry, Webo- tuck Lodge contemplates a becoming celebration of their raising" on No vember 20, next, which will be made a notable event in the lodge.
 MT. Austin is the father of Mrs. Alta Cook, whose husband was killed few weeks ago by being caught in belt and whirled over the shafting on the ceiling of the Cook & Turner whip factory in Southfeld. He stood within four feet of his son-in-law when the tragedy oc- cured, but was powerless to prevent it.

THE NORFOLK CONCERT
Review of Superior Performance by Mrs. Mary Geikie Adam.

Review of Superior Performance by Mrs. Mary Geikie Adam.
 For the past nineteen years expeota- tion has run high in Norfolk and the nearby towns as the time for the annual Home Missionary concert crept nearer on the dial of the year. AS time moves on!the beauty and value of those delight ful events have been more and more realized and appreciated, so that the f1ood-tide of interest was reached when the last concert was announced. Many stars in the musical world were on the programme, while the variety in num- bers to be given added keen zest to the large audience eager for the treat and ready to show their appreciation.
 Where so many artists gave of their best, one cannot feel they are dimming the luster of any by brief mention of a few. Mime. Sehumann-Heink captivated by her versatility, and thrilled with her dramatic power. We could feel the anguish of Rachel who Would not be comforted;" hear the child's cry of terror, My father, My father" in the "Erl King" while in lighter vein one could almost hear the rythm of the dancers feet and laugh with the naive German Madchen in the Spinning Song," or be entranced with the beauty and power of other numbers.
 The famous Welsh tenor, MT. H. Evan Williams, was unsurpassed in every number, and memory fingers with sweet satisfaction on the encore, "All through the night ;" it was lovely and seemed like cadence from bygone days.
 Miss Edmonds charmed all by her rendering of Handers exquisite air, "Come unto Him." the sweetness of her beautiful voice and fine pleading were so marked and all her numbers gave de- light,
 One may go far afield before again hearing bass so smooth, rich and full as is the voice of Mir. Donald A. Chal- mers, whose every number was a treat.
 The organist, the violinist carried the audience captive with the fineness of their technique and mastery of their in- struments and as the evening wore on we felt that another great offering had been laid on memory's altar.
 Norfolk has much for which to feel proud and thankful and the last concert will take its own high place in the memory of all who were there. This little notice is all inadequate; much more is deserved, yet no other tribute can be more grateful or sincere.

 The concerts of the Litchfield County Choral Union, at Norfolk, made possible by the public-spirited generosity of Mir and Mrs. Carl Stoeckel of that old hill town, have brought pleasure and good tc thousands of people, To hear the works of the best composers, sung and played by artists of recognized merit, aided by aggregations of singers from several towns in the vicinity of Norfolk, trained under an expert director, is something never to be forgotten. The beauty of the natural scenery of Norfolk, the per lection of the building erected for the concerts, and the warm hospitality ex. tended to the visitors by Mir and Mrs. Stoeckel, have been the theme of many newspaper articles. Thousands of per sons have added their personal testi- mony, until now the fame of the Litch- field County Choral Union has gone far afield

John p. Graham Run Down in Great Burlington.
 The latest victim of the auto in this region, was John P. Graham, aged IS, of Great Burlington, who met his death while trying to dodge a swift-driven automobile in the streets at Great Bar rington. at Il o'clock Friday night.
 Graham was bell-boy at the Berk- shire Inn and while on his way to his home ,as the story is related, met & friend who was driving, in the opposite direc- tion. The friend invited him to ride as far as the livery stable, where he was to leave the r1g, and they wonld walk back together. Graham started to climb into the buggy, but at that instant saw the lights of an automobile approaching rap idly, and apparently steering straight for the buggy. He shouted to his friend to look out, as the automobile was about to smash into the wagon, and at the same tune made leap himself, for the sidewalk. At that instant the auto made sudden swerve, in the same direction, as if the driver had just dis covered the wagon,' and missing that vehicle by hairs breadth, struck the boy. knocking him down and inf1icting injuries from which he died an hour later ill the House of Mercy. in Pittsfield
 The auto was owned and driven by Harry Gallup, employed by the tele- rhone company in Great Burlington. Gallup was arrested on the charge of manslaughter. and arraigned in the city district court Saturday morning. He pleaded not guilty, and was held under s, 900 bonds to appear for trial August 6.
 John F. Graham, the victim, was Q nephew of Mrs. Walter Goggin of Oa- naan, and the funeral, which was held in Great Harrington Monday, was attended by MT. and Mrs. Walter Cog gin, MT. and Mrs. Michael Goggin. Mir. Thomas O'Hara and daughter, Marjorie.

And Another,
To the Editor of The News :

Many were glad to read the piece in last weeks News in relation to the auto accident at East Canaan and the criti- cism on drunken chauffeurs. It is not safe to be in the street or on the side walk, or hardly in your own yard. But it is not only drunken chauffeurs we have to contend with. It is drunken horse drivers and drunken footmen, who come from adjoining towns for thelr booze, returning at all hours of the night yelling and bowling and making night hideous by their carousing. We wonder how much longer we must see men lying by the road side for hours at a time. Not in thirty years has there been so much drunkenness seen as in the two years this town has had license.

LIGHTS ON VEHICLES
After Aug. l All Vehicles Having
 Springs Must Light Up.

NIker fNuR. T. All NeniCIeS TaSiHk
 Springs Must Light Up.
 The law which recently went into effect in Kansas. requiring front and rear lights on all vehicles with springs or rubber tires and which was received with severe condemnation by some of the clements, causing some to even make a mocking attempt to introduce meas ure which would reqnire pedestrians to wear red lights on their coatails, at night, brings home the fact that a nearly simi- lar light law goes into effect in this state August 1. AS the only vehicles which do not have springs are the heaviest type of lumber and coal wagons, and as these are usually off the roads very shortly after dark, the law will compel light on practically every vehicle that is out after dark. The law as appfoved by the governor May 29, 1918, is ss follows :-
 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Represn tatives in General Assembly convened :-
 Section 2O6S of the general statutes is hereby amended to read as follows :-
 All vehicles other than motor vehicles, having springs or rubber tires while in use in the public streets and highways, except highways or portions thereof lighted all night by any municipality, shall show from one hour after sunset until one hour before sunrise, light or lights so placed as to be visible from the front and rear of such vehicle. Such light or lights shall be of sufficient Illuminating power to be visible at dis rance of two hundred feet. Any person driving or directing any such vehicle upon public street or highway between the hours aforesaid, without light, as herein prescribed, shall be fined not more than five dollars. The court before which the accused IS tried may suspend judgment or remit the penalty provided herein whenever in it's judgment the circumstances will warrant such action.
 Approved May 29, 1913.
