The D. ". Read Company
GEN. BUNDLE

Gen Sir Leslie Bundle, com
 mander-in-chief of the military forces
 in Great, Britain and Ireland, is a native of Devon, and is in his sixtieth year. The man to whom has been en-
 trusted the task of defending the
 British isles against possible invasion has had long and distinguished
 army career. He is a close friend and former companion-in-arms of
 Earl Kitchener, and belongs to the
 nni1ity school of tfK. of K" He is the son of a naval officer, and was christened Henry Macleod Leslie, but
 when he arrived at maturity he
 dropped the first two names as su-
 perfluous for a busy man. After
 gra aduating from the Woo1wich Mill
 tary School he entered the Royal Ar tt1Iery in 1876, and reached the rank of major-generaI twenty years later. In the interval he served gal1ant1y in
 the Zulu war, the first Boer conflict, and in the Egyptian, Soudan and Dongo1a campaigns, and he was al- ! ready a, battle-scared veteran when
 he went to South Africa in 1900 as commander of a division of the South 1 African field force. Since then he has served as commander-in-chie eff and governor of Malta, but left that post at the beginning of the war. Sir Leslie was knighted in 1898 and has been the recipient of many other honors. He was a classmate of Kitchener at WooIwich, and they met again during the Soudan campaign, where Kitchener and Bundle, dis
 guised as Arabs, faced death together
 many a time. Of the many stories told of this association of two youths l destined for military glory, the most 1 interesting deals with the English lessons given to a native chieftain by
 undle. The latter graveIy instructed the chief to address Kitch as | Mighty Kitchener, great damn foo1!" This the chief innecent1y did, | much to the secret delight of Kitch-
 ener, who fully appreciated the joke

ST. vITus.


 Fms is the feast day of St. V1tus, rwhose name is popu1ar1y associated with the nervous or hysterical affec- &fion which impels the victim to vio- lent motion. A chapel near Ulrn was dedicated to St. Vitus, and it was be- ueved by the Germans that good health for a year could be assured by bringing gifts to his image and dancing before 1t on the fifteenth of June. The intercession of St. Vitus was thought to be especially valuable in cases of hyster1a among young girls and women, and the dance of St. Vftus became an orgy of religious frenzy. People who were sound of body and nerves were so affected by the sight of the dancing convulsions and hysterfa of the girls that they themselves joined in the orgy, and gradually the name of St Vitus dance was applied to all affections inyolv- eng inNoluntary-unus motion, al-

Mme. Schumann- Heink, Famous Singer,
 Daughter of 8 Soldier

Mime. Ernestine Schumann-Heink, the famous singer, was born at Liebon, near Prague, Bohemia, fifty four years ago today. The celebrated contralto, who has made a fortune with her voice and yet had time to rear eight children, was the daughter of an officer in Francis Joseph's army and remained an Austrian subject un- til 8. few years ago, when she swore allegiance to Uncle Sam. She was educated in 8 Prague convent of the Orsulfne nuns, and it was there that she made her first reputation as a singer. After leaving the convent she took singing lessons. and at the age Of seventeen made her oPeratc debut at the Dresden Opera House, as Azuccna, in ''l Trovatore," She was then known by her maiden name of Ernestine Roessler.
 When she was twenty the girl singer married a man. named Heink and resolved to abandon her profes- sional career and devote herself to the duties of wifehood and mother hood. The call of the operatic stage was too powerful to be resisted, how ever, and in 1888 she joined the opera company at Hamburg. 1890 she made her debut in Berlin, and won immediate success. Her married life had not been happy, and in 1893 she made her first appearance in the di- VOrce court. Not long a1CerWard she became the bride of Paul Schumann, an actor, and the name she afterward made famous is a hyphenated com bination of the names of her first two husbands In 1897 she sang in Lon don, and the following year she paid her visit to America, making her debut in Chicago. The singer be- came very fond of America, and soon decided to make it her home. In 1904, while she was singing in Bos- ton, her second husband, Paul Schu- mann, died. The following year she was married to William Rapp, Jr.. of Chicago. She divorced him in Chi cagO last year. The case attracted wide attention as attacks had been made upon the singers reputation. In insEucting the jury, however, the judge said: +'No evidence has been introduced which, with all its pos sible differences and implications, would tend to prove that the com plainant is other or has been other than a good wife to the defendant and a chaste and virtuous woman ''
 Mime. Schumann-Heink, during her European career, received decorations from no less than nine European courts, and she has sang before near ly all the crowned heads of Flu rope.

Millinery,
The D. M. Read Company and the Halligan Millinery Shop in Strong Combination

The good news that Millinery is ready comes with joyful surprise to the women of Bridgeport. As the Read House will from now on assume the character of a Wom- ans Speciality Store in every particular and detail; the management have been consider ing the question of Millinery very seriously, feeling justly that when new department is added it must be in keeping with the high standing that has been maintained by the Read House for more than half century. Therefore, when there came the opportunity to purchase the Halligan Millinery Establish nnent and take over not only the stock of nigh class merchandise, but the assistance and good will of MT. and Mrs. Halligan with their coterie of efficient assistants, it seemed ex- actly in line with Read policy, one old and established bushes added to another, of the same high standing for the Halligan N1illin- cry Shop is only a few decades behind the Read House in it's business life That has been accomplished, and now
 The New Read Millinery Department will be under the direct and personal supervision of : MT. and Mrs. William E. Halligan
 We trust it will please our patrons. It certainly pleases us and we shall go on to- gether with a new impetus in our business life to the encouragement of everyone.
