 May 28, 1856.

Aided by mem bers of the immedi- ate family, MT. and Mrs Manley Squires Burdick observed the six tieth anniversary of their marriage yesterday. On account of the illness of MT. Burdick, an extensive cele- bration which had been planned by his sons and daughters was abridged to a family gathering but the spirit of the occasion was none the less joyful.
 Mr. and Mrs Burdick are num- bered among New Britain's most be- loved aged residents and enjoy the esteem and respect of all who are so fortunate as to bask in the sunshine of their acquaintance. Mr. Burdick was born in East Hampton on Sep- tcmber IS, 1893, and Mrs Burdick, who, before her marriage, was Miss Charlotte J. Baisden, was born in Crimwell on November 6, 1884. The wedding occurred in Cromwell on May 28. 1856
 MT. Burdick came to New Britain to make this place his permanent residence in May, 1872, and went to the Union Manufacturing company as foreman of the foundry. He held that position until 1905, when he re- tired MT. and Mrs. Burdick have six children, James M. Burdick, su- perintendent of the Stanley Rule and Level company; Charles A. Burdick, connected with the same concern; i; Miss Emma J. Burdick, who resides at home; Mrs. Carrie A. Bassford of Watertown; Mrs. Isabella A. Elm mons of this city, and Mrs. Lucy A. Perrin, connected with the Taft school at Watertown.
 A peculiarly happy circumstance in connection with the family is that no deaths have occurred among the immediate members for fortyeight years and four generations are now living, the parents in three genera tons also being alive.
 While the observance yesterday was of a quiet nature, MT. and Mrs. Rurdick received many beautiful presents, reminders that as age grows on them, they are only deeper Implanted in the hearts of those who love them.

 from CarranZa.

Washington, May 29.-Manuel Men deg, an attache of General Carranza's foreign office, arrived here today ana conferred with Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexican ambassador, but denied that he brought a note, as had been eX- pected or that, he brought any in structions from his chief. He declared he was merely here on vacation
 MT. Arredondo and other Mexican officials professed to be puzzled. It has been reported from Mexico City and the border that 8 special mes senger was bringing a new communl- cation from Carranza. No indication of it's contents has been given, but it generally has been assumed by American officials that the expected note probably renewed the demand TOT the withdrawal of American forces. Representations are about to be made to the state department for the release of a quantity of copper and l machinery consigned to the Carranza l government, but now detained in New l York. MT. Arredondo declared today | that this was the only question he l had to take up with the state depart ment at this time.
 State department officials had be- fore them today for inquiry a tele- gram from eighty-four American oil operators at Tampico protesting against decrees promulgated by the Mexican authorities, designed it was declared, to render it impossible for Americans to conduct their business in that country The message, ad- dressed to President Wilson, related that one of their number had been arrested and imprisoned for three hours because of the refusal to pay his employees wages fixed by the au- thorities in excess of terms previously agreed upon with the men. Protec- tion from the United States govern ment was asked by the complainants, who announced that they would ignore the confiscatOry orders.

Manager Ben F. Jackson of Fox's theater will sever his connection with the local playhouse shortly to assume more responsible position with the Fox interests in New York. While he has not been definitely informed as to the exact house in which he will be located, it is MT. Jackson's opinion that the new theater while MT. Fox will open on Broadway, with the mammoth production headed by An- nctte Kellerman, will be his next birth.
 Manager Jackson has been connect ed with the local picture house for two years and since coming to this city has, through his able manage ment, placed the house on par with any similar theater in the country. everything relating to the pleasure and entertainment of the patrons of the house has been looked after in a careful manner.
 The departure of Manager Jackson VIII cause regret. Since coming here ne has made host of friends by his pleasant disposition and, although it is recompensed for his untirinG efforts, they feel that his association both at the theater and in other walks of life will be missed.
 Joseph Kolisky of Springfield, Mass, who managed Fox's theater for a time during Manager Jackson's vacation, will be in charge of the theater tenn porarily.
