 The contract for the floor covering and stair covering has been let to the Boston Store of this city
 John J. Shugrue has the contract for the installation of the heater and new radiation.
 ". s. Davis, president Of the New Star Amusement company. has se- cured a new long term lease of the theatre at a higher rental than has been paid. and he intends to give the public of Norwich the best shows at the least money. His policy has been admission prices within the reach of all classes notwithstanding the fact that the prices of acts have advanced materially Rlong with everything else He has endeavored to give the people of Norwich just what they have ex- pressed a desire for, a good clean theatre, strictly fireproof, good vaude- Villo acts and feature pictures. Be- sides this he has provided some of the best shows on the road. those that play the big cities. This he has been able to do owing to his personal ac- quaintance with the big boolIin2 of- fees in New York. Whenever a road show is advertised to play at the Davis, MT. Davis backs up the adver- tisement with his personal guarantee that the show is of the best and not a third or fourth rater.

upright man. In the 20 years of his public life, when has he ever been con- victed of a mean or dishonorable act? When has he ever been known to sacrifice principle to personal advan- tage? or the good of his country to the interests of a party?"
 Dr. Bonds tribute was as follows: AS a public man he has exhibited a character marked for consistency, hon esty and integrity. He has adopted his principles and he stood firmly by them. And however some might differ with him on certain points of national pOli- cy, all will coucede to him honesty of purpose and high mindedness which becomes a statesman.
 "Despising the trucking policy of the political intriguer, he adhered to the principles of his adoption and from a conscientious regard to what he con- sidered to be the claims of God and the interests of his country tried to pursue openly and fearlessly a straight forward course and left the results with Him in whose wisdom and prOVi- dence he exercised implicit conf dence."
