appear. While Miss Kline has not
been before the public so long as Miss

in the concert field
Some years ago when Miss Marsh
she has only recently emerged. Miss

New York. She has travelled all
over the country with the more IA

the Atlantic to the Pacific, and will
be a decided addition to the program
next Tuesday evening. In these days
when nearly everyone has one Of the
various brands of talking machines
very few residents of New Britain
will not be somewhat familiar with
Miss kline's beautiful voice. She is
noted for her colorature effects and
the Song of the Skylarl" will give
her splendid opportunity to express
her vocal powers and cultivated artis-
try. Consdera BILE local interest is
added by the fact that Miss K1ines
first paid engagement was as soloist
in the church of Rev. H. w. Maier
Of this city when he was in Schenec-
tady. Miss Kline is an American girl
who received her musical education
in this country and her great personal
charm added to her musical ability
will insure a warm reception when
she appears in New Britain.

.portant Matters.

The board of police commissioners
will meet this evening in city hall ana
one of the matters of importance that
will probably be considered will be
the appointment Of Il police lieuten-
ant. Acting Lieutenant Samuel Bam-
forth and Sergeant William c.. Hart
are the eligibles for the appointment.
Chairman Patrick F. King stated this
morning that he was not at all Ger
tain that the appointment of the
lieutenant will be made this evening.
There is a possibility that the
acting lieutenant will be appointed.
Acting Lieutenant BamfoTth has been
filling the place since tho new ser
geants were appointed. While he did
not attain tho high mark that was
secured by Sergeant Hart he has the
advantage of being the incumbent, Il
only on a temporary detail, and he has
tho advantage of the longer service
in tho department. Both men have
clear records of service. Sergeant
Hart, the Younger officer has been
most successful in his police duty.
