ACADEMY MUSICAL COURSE.
Madame Teresa Carreno, Pianist, Given Warm Welcome in First of Series.

It was a wind-swept audience that struggled into Slater Memorial hall on Monday evening for the first of the series of concerts in the Academy mu- sical course for it was the coldest and most clustering night of the win ter, but the weather had no effect upon the fervor of welcome that was given to Madame Teresa Carreno. pianist. in the superb programme that she rendered..
 With marvellous exhibition of tech nique, delieacy of touch and the pro duction of clear singing tone in all it's variations and shadings, she proved herself a master of her instrument and was given the reward of well earned applause that did not cease. until she had appeared to bow her acknC-~1edgH . mentS.
 Twice she gave encores, and in each case they proved one of the real de- lights of the programme, the first a Berceuse from Chopin, interpreted in a meditative mood with a poetic deli cacy and sureness of touch. and the second a composition of her own, Kleine Waltz, which was equally charming
 Her programme opened with a Beethoven Sonata, in which her abun- dant command of her instrument was shown, and from this she passed to a Chopin group in which her inter pretive power was shown.
 After numbers from Schumann, Mac Dowell and Rubinstein, she concluded her programme with the March Mili- taire (Sehubert Tausig) played with a wonderful display of power. that brought forth prolonged applause and kept the audience in its seats till an encore had been given.

HIGH WIND SMAsHES
 PLATE GLASS WINDOWS.
Two Blown in at G. A. Davis Store One Broken at Main and Shetuoket Street Corner.

The violent wind of Monday evening and the extreme cold gave the streets of the city a decided air of assertion. The thermometer registered it's lowest of the winter. the temperature drop ping to little above zero in certain districts. Windows in the store of George A. Davis on Broadway and the old Moran store at the corner of Main and Shetucket streets suffered from the violence of the elements. At the Davis store the front glass, about 10 by s feet, and the glass at the side of the entrance were broken off three feet from the top, part of the glass falling both in and out of the window. The glass on the sidewalk was swept up and John E. Tanning produced a large canvas which was used to cover the opening. A rope secured at police headquarters was used to tie in the remaining part of the glass. A swing ing sign crashed through the window at the Moran store.
 Many trees suffered from the wind, although the damage was for less than would have been the case were the limbs not bare.

Kelly, who now feels obliged to give up the work because of the pressure of other business du- ties. When his purpose to retire this year became known to the registrars, they made an effort to. have him stay but found that his resolution was not to be shaken so that they reluctantly accepted his decision and regret his departure from the place he has long filled so well. This is the district in which he was born and raised and has always made his home and he knew practically every man, woman and child in the district so that he was peculiarly well qualified to give efficient service as an assistant reg istrar of voters.

IN PROHIBITION WORK
 IN PENNSYLVANIA. Ernest Allison Smith is Now Organ izer for Fayette County Near Pittsburq,

Norwich friends of MT. and Mrs. Ernest Allison Smith, formerly of this city, will be interested to know of his present occupation of which tJs writes to local acquaintances. He says:
 am now Prohibition party County Organizer in Fayette county, Pa. This county is south of Pittsburgh, on the West Verginia border, in the soft coal field. The population is one-half for eign. largely Slavish. This is the fam coal must be free from sulphur and not too hard. The soft coal which comes up to the requirements is very limited in quantity. There are here several veins of soft coal, this coking coal vein is from four to eight feet thick and sells now for over S2,000 per acre. The one who cokes the coal will make from $5,000 to $10,000 per acre profit. Six acres of coal will keep 100 ovens running for one year. There are nearly 30.00O ovens in this dis trict. An oven requires 20 tons of coal each week producing about 1S tons of coke. The coke sells for s1.65 to $250 per ton. Just now the condi- tion of the steel trade has forced down the price of coke. The general opinion is that spring will bring normal condi- tions. because of the limited reserve stock of steel in the hands of jobbers and dealers.
 JTniontown has about 14,000 people. Yet in this city are three distilleries and three breweries. Here occurred the whisky rebellion" when the gov ernment first tried collect a tax on whisky making, in 1794, when Wash ington was president the second time. And the other cities are as 1iberally supplied, the total output for 1912 and for 1913 being 76.14S barrels of whisky and 325,000 barrels of beer. One dis tillery here is owned by H. c. Prick of steel trust fame. Its output is 25,000 barrels per year.
 Yet public sentiment is gradually changing. No one defends the busi- ness except those financially interested Holders of distillery stock are looking for chances to sell. Hotels are adding store rooms, to provide revenue to take the place of the profits from the bar The signs of the times are many. all indicating that the liquor dealers themselves expect National prohibi- ton.
 MT. Smith adde's the information that Mrs. Smith is recovering satis- factorily from a severe opera tion per formed September 19, in a hospital in Topeka, Kansas. where she has visit ed since August 1. 1918. Doctor Robert Stewart son-in-law of ex-Governor Stubbs of Kansas, operated, assisted by three other doctors; 35 stitches were necessary.

THE NEW COLORS
 FOR SPRING

The stores are already begin ming to answer the questions that so many women want answered.
 As you read your newspaper today you will notice the new spring note creeping into the advertising. The stores are al- ready beginning to show the beautiful cottons from which women will make their summer frocks.
 The woman who expects to keep posted to the minute must be an advertising reader. She must avail herself of the service her favorite newspaper provides for her.
 It is the best fashion news in the world because it is based on actual merchandise and not on theories. It is up to the min ute. It is written in a way that makes it clear to her.
 But it seems almost unneces- sary to remind American women of the joys of advertis- ing-for they are already the greatest readers of advertising in the world.
