MISS CURTIS GIVES GENEROUSLY OF HER ART TO AID CHURCH
Grand Opera Singer Renders Delightful Concert at United
 Church.

It was with great anticipation that an audience of several hundreds of people filled the United, formerly the South church, last evening for the re- cital given by Miss Vera Curtis, mem Der of the Metropolitan Opera Co.,, and it proved with even greater reaiiza- ton that they reluctantly left after the last encore which the artist so graciously accorded them. The re- cital was contributed by Miss Curtis for the. building fund of the church of which she has been a member for years.
 Miss Curtis is so finished an artist, she adds to a remarkably sweet and exquisite voice, magnetic personal ity. which fairly captivates her au- dience. While most of her program was composed of beautiful lyrics, in several of the numbers, one was con- scious of a great dramatic quality possessed by the singer
 Miss Curtis was recalled again and again to receive ar plause and several times she responded with encores. She was presented with number of great bouquets of chrysanthemums between the groups of songs.
 The sympathetic accompaniment of Willis filling greatly added to Miss Curtis singing, and when at the con- clusion of the program, the artist brought him forward to share with her the applause. the exclamation of en- joyment and approval by the audi ence lasted several moments. MT. filling was the composer of Miss Cur tis' last number, Thou and l." short but very beautiful soing. He also contributed group of organ selec- tions, masterfully rendered, which gave much variety to the recital
 The recital was the more enjoy ed because the program contained the words of the songs, the foreign se- lections in English translation, an in- novation which it is hoped more ar lists will follow.

stopped the short automobile parade just as it was getting under way. He ran forward and talked briefly with the President and then ran back and talked with MT. Bryan. The former secretary of state, who left the Presi- dents cabinet because of differences over foreign policies, said he preferred not to dis; -range the plans and he and Secretary Tumulty got in another au- tomottle together.
 The president and the othe members of his party, including Mir. Bryan. then left on an hour and half ride through the parks and the downtown section of Pittsburgh.
 Arrangements for the reception had been made by the local Democratic committee.
 When the President and MT. Bryan met, each smiled broadly as they shook hands. MT. Bryan said he would ride on the Presidents train for a short distance in order to get into Mr. Bailey's Congressional dis trict. Before coming to Pittsburgh, the President shook hands with large crowd at Alliance, O.
 During the automobile ride in this city, the President was greeted at several places by school children wav- ing American flags.

BAR MEMBERS MOURN DEATH OF G. E. HILL

(Continued from Page 1.) in 1907. Never during these almost nine years of the most intimate busi- ness and social relationship did he speak word or do an act which was not entirely courteous, considerate and friendly to me. Our partnership agreement was simple, and entirely oral Never did we have a disagree ment on a financial or other personal matter.
 My affection and respect for him grew until the end. George drew men to him. The expressions of affec- ton for him that have come to me since his death have been numerous and heartfelt. He took a great pride in his profession, and in his work. Trusted by everybody who came in contact with him, he rewarded their faith in him by careful and painstak- ing labor in their behalf No matter how poor or humble his client he at tended to the matter put in his charge faithfully, and many times &C., cepted inadequate or no reward. More and more frequently matters of great importance were placed in his charge:
 Always desiring of doing the right, Ii0 pOSScSSCu cd Juo6 Iilc1I 6uAoCA his feelings into acts that were truly right. He never allowed any matter to keep him from the yearly dinner of the Bridgeport Bar association.
 He gave increasingly his time and strength to those matters which affect the welfare or pleasure of all, but which are frequently left undone by most. Simple in all his ways, he went directly to the matter in hand, but with a courtesy that smoothed the rough places, and a humor that made contact with him a pleasant memory. Modest and unassuming, positions of honor came to him unsought.
 His memory will long he a fond rec election, and his example source of inspiration to us all.
 Since his death a friend of his has been repeating these verses learned long ago:
 Were a star quenched on high,
 For ages would its light,
 Still travelling downward through the
 sky,
 Shine on our mortal sight. So when great man dies,
 For years beyond our ken, The light he leaves behind him, lies
 Upon the paths of men,"

TWENTY-FIVE MILLION INCREASE IN YEAR FOR
 CONNECTICUTS BANKS

1. An increase in savings bank de- posits in the state of $25.000,000 over the amount of deposits at the close of the fiscal year 1915 is expected to be shown in the report of Bank Commis- sioner Everett J. Sturges, which will soon be issued for the fiscal year 1916 It is estimated that deposits up to September 30 this year reached at least $325, 100000.
 All the savings banks in the state show substantial gain, according to the commissioner. Banks in indus trial centers, like Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven, Waterbury and New Bri- tain make particularly good show ing. All of the reports from the banks for the last fiscal year has not been received by the commissioner, but enough are on hand to form an opin- ion on the approximate amount of de- posits.
