STRINGS OF VIOLIN
 TOLD DEATH NEWS
Wife of French Sergeant Learned of Husbands Death Before Official
 Notification Arrived.

Paris. Feb. Is. Correspondence of the Associated Press s)-This story is going the rounds of the French pa pers:
 One of the most distinguished vio- linists of France, who was married only one month before the beginning of the war, said to his bride on leaving for the front that if any misfortune happened to him, he would arrange to let her know 1t in advance of the Of ficia1 notification.
 Weeks and months went by, with out any bad news, and the bride al- most had forgotten the singular state ment made by her husband in the emotion of separation. when on Sun day morning, January 24, she felt an irresistible desire to play a certain melody that her husband Remi was particularly fond of. She opened the case, took out the violin and all color left her checks. Two of the strings were broken, the ''ri'' and the mi" 1T understand" she stammered and staggered to a chair. The following day toward noon an official from the war department came to inform her that the Sergeant Remi had died upon the field of honor.

CHARITY EXPENSES
 REACH NEW RECORD
Cost of Helping Poor in January,
 This Ycar, Was $4,l32.

Not in the history of the consoli- dated city and town governments have unemployment and financial stringen- cy placed such burden on New Britain through its charity depart ment. .s. .-.. .-
 This is shown by the accounting of the department for the month of Jan- uary, compared with the same month in other years. Not even in 1907 when the country was in the throes of a financial panic was the burden so great.
 The total expenses of the charity department for last month were $4,- 132.45. This included the cost of the town home, assistance to deserving families, local and out of town hospi- tals, insane asylums, salaries, etc., and was $2,23.SS more than in January 1914, when the expenses amounted to S2,895.57. The expenses in 1907 were $2,111.72. Last month 280 fam lilies were cared for in comparison to 120 in 1907. Of course the growth of the city must be taken into consid- eration when comparisons are made. The town home last month cost s1,- 420.3S and the poor outside the town home $1,843.40.
 
 extra strain on the city treasury due to the fact that so many heads of families were out of work. Approx imately $44,00o was appropriated to take care of the unemployed on street improvements and hundreds were giv en work while the weather permitted out of door labor. This $44,000 was included in two appropriations, ex tra taxes being levied. The entire amount was not expended and there was a balance of $11,000, to which the board of finance and taxation gen. erously helped itself for other depart ments that were flying distress sig nals.
 It is safe to say that the municipal ity has never been so hard pressed through it's charity department and January, 1915, will go down in history as a blue period in this respect.
