Continued re- quests for another engagement of these musicians has resulted in Mir. Dow sett's assembling them again for to- night, and patrons are assured of an evening of rare pleasure.

DECLARES GREAT BRITAIN IS
 "VEXATIOUSLY INQUISIToRIAL" !"
Amedican Protest Against Interference
 with Mails So States.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The text of the American protest to Great Britain against interference with neutral mails, made public tonight, reveals that diplomatic and consular pouches have been treated in a manner the United States considers 'vexatiously inquisitorial." The note describes the practices of British officials as "un- warranted interferences" and in urg- ently requesting a prompt reply points out that "a strong feeling is being aroused" in this country by the loss of valuable letters, while foreign banks are refusing to cash American drafts because they have no assurances that drafts are secure in the mails.
 The United States declares that pos tai articles are entitled to the exemp- tions of neutral trade and denies the right of Great Britain to take neutral mail ships into British Jurisdiction for purpose of search afld then submit them to local censorship regulations. It also denies that the British gov ernment has any authority over neu- tral sealed mails on ships which mere ly touch at British ports.

TIRED WORKING MEN
A Local Druggist Suggests a Remedy For Overworked, Run- down
 Man

The following letter from Manager Hodes recounts the experience ond condition of many Norwich men. Read this letter and our offer which fol- lows:
 Brooklyn, N. Y. T am a general office manager, and became SO ner- vous and rundown in health that lost my appetite and finally my health broke down completely, largely be- cause of overworx. I tried Beef Iron and Wine, and other remedies with out help. I saw Vinol advertised, and soon after taking 1t I noticed an improvement. now have a hearty appetite. sleep better, feel better and have gained considerable in weight" Samuel Hodes. 501 Stone Ave,
 The reason Vinol is so successful in such cases is because 1t contains the three oldest and most famous tonics viz.-the medicinal clements of fresh cod flyers without oil, peptonate of iron and beef peptone.
 We ask every run down, over worked man in Norwich to try a bottle of Vinol with the understanding that their money will be returned if it fails to help them as it did MT. Hodes. G. G. Engler. Broadway Pharmacy. Norwich.

RHEUMATIC CRIPPLES
 NOW REJOICE
No Matter if You Are Crippled, Can't Use Arms, Legs or Hands, if Rheuma Doesn't Help You
 Nothinq To Pay,

If you want relief in two days, swift, certain, gratifying relief, take one- half teaspoonful of Rheuma once a day.
 If you want to dissolve every particle of uric acid poison in your body and drive 1t out through the natural chan nels so that you will be forever free from rheumatism, get 50-cent bottle of Rheuma from Lee & Osgood Co. or any druggist today.
 Rheumatism is a powerful disease, strongly entrenched in joints and muscles, and any modern physician will tell you that the days of wishy- washy treatments are over and in order to conquer rheumatism and sciatica a powerful enemy must be sent against 1t.
 Rheuma is the enemy of Rheuma- tisn- an enemy that conquers it every time. Judge John Barhorst of Fit. Loramie, Ohio, knows it. He was walking with crutches: today he is well. It has caused hundreds of others to rejoice. It should do as much for you; it seldom fails. If it does you can have your money re- turned by your druggist.

to Europe after them, or her pos sessions.
 The dyestuffs are vegetable, animal and mineral dyes. One of the great vegetable dyes is indigo. Perhaps the greatest animal dyestuff is ''Tyrian mean shellfsh. In Bible times if a man had any fine linens or purple clothes he was considered to be very rich or of very high rank.
 Under this rule Rome made purple an imperial color to be used for inn perial use only because it was so costly.
 Hence the phrase. "To put on pur- ple," meant as much to the people of Rome as the phrase. ITO put on the ermine," meant to England. to become king or emperor.
 this present day are made from a by product of coke manufacture known as coal tar. These days are very cheap because they are made from a by product of a business that is prof itable without them. Coal tar is nothing but thick dark liquid which gathers in gas pipes when the gas is being driven from the coal and yet this rty-blacxy looking substance can be combined with some of the certain chemicals and used in mak- ing some of the most beautiful of COlOIS SO4IISl1l1l6S II1C uy0lI1S IS OOll0 before the spinning takes place and sometimes it takes place after weaving.
 Mercer's claim, it will be remem- bered, was that by this process it would take the dyestuffs better than any other time. In order to make dye permanent it has long been cus- tomary to use a dormant, which means a "biter," or ito biter," in the color.
 Alum, or some similar substance which united with any of the dyestuffs to from an inoslute compound, has been largely used. In general the vegetable dyes are much less likely to fade than the mineral dyes.
 The Navajo Indians of the west used a great quantity of vegetable dyes for coloring their blankets, rigs and other fine goods they had for sale When the traders come they fur nished the Navajo Indians with a large quantity of their old mineral dyes. As soon as the Navajo Indians went to using them the value of their rigs, blankets. and all of their goods went speedily down.
 As we have seen the causes for New England surpassing the South with cotton manufacturing was the Ioca- tlon of industries in certain parts of the section; one good reason is be- cause of the water power and near ness to the very large markets. East ern Connecticut has quite a few cot on-mills. We also have many woolen silk and velvet mills.

Thres Great Acts ara Triangle Pho
 topIays Today


 There will be complete change of pho.opiays at the Davis today and the feature is the Golden Claw, a five part '.Trtangle feature. Triangle feature. Bessie Barriscaie plays the part of a girl who n7arries for money in The Golden Claw. Miss Bsr-iscale Is shown as living with her mother (Truly Shettuelx) They are in straitened circumstances though living in an extravagant way. As a result the girl makes I'D her mind to marry man of wealth. Her choice falls upon rich youth. who is repre- scented by Frank Mills. She frankly tells him that she is marrying him for money alone. but he does not be- lieve it. Mills loses his wealth through the pinching out of the vein in the silver roine in which he is interested His wife reproaches him for the loss Of his wealth and he is goaded to do his utmost to recoup his fortune. By lucky deals in Wall Street he restores himself to his former position as man of means, but the strain of con- stant effort and concentration in rnoney-making make him into a sort of machine.
 Then Miss Barriscale, as the hero inc, begins to notice that she has lost the lover that so ardently wooed her and she realizes the hollowness of lux ury and wealth without affection. On the anniversary of her marriage she goes to see her husband in his office and when she reminds him of what the day means, thinking that he would give her some flowers or other other token of his love, she is bitterly dis appointed in his coldly handing her a check for s5G,000.
 Miss Barriscale is next seen enter taining 0 former rival of Mills, who is also a rival in the stock market. By this mans machinations Mills becomes involved to such a degree that he wants to borrow money he had pre- scented to his wife. In order to get him away from his money-mad career Miss Barriscale refuses to aid him. He is ruined and is about to commit suicide when he overhears his wife telling his rival that she had refused him in order to win him back to her self. At this disclosure he masterfully sends the other man on his way and with some of his old fire he takes his estranged wife to his bosom.

"MAID IN AMERICA
Coming. to The Davis Tuesday, Feb. I

One of the fondest traditions of the stage has been given a rude shock by the management of Maid in America, the big New York Winter Garden re- vue. coming to the Davis theatre Tuesday, Feb. 1st, when upon the com pletion of its successful and lengthy run in Chicago, the call boy was dis charged and 'scall girl'' was installed in his place. Many we'll known actors began. their stage careers in this hum ble position, but Agatha Richmond is the first woman to seek footlight fame by that route. Miss Richmond is a cousin of Minerva Coverdale, one of the principals in the company. The Winter Garden in New York was the first theatre to employ girl ushers, and SO successful did the innovation prove that they are now employed in over 50 Shubert theaters. They have been found to be more nearly 100 per cent. perfect than men or boys, especially fin places requiring patience, neatness and despatch.
