l Patrons of the Bradley theater were | delighted Monday with the new foto- 1 player that Manager Hyde Smith mas 1 fad installed This nlagnifcen, m strument is a continuation of piano, 1 or gan and o:Cnestra and it has been 1 placed in the theater at a cost of I several thousand dollars Having the i player is much the same. many think l better. than regular house orchestra l and in installing it the management 1 has the Bradley theater ahead of any playhouse in eastern Connecticut. The player was given it's first tryout l Sunday evening and was highly ap- l preciated by an audience that filled ! the thea tre. It is equipped with more than 30 ef- fleets and wonderful results are possi- ble with the instrument.
 Putnam is getting to be model city in so far as the behavior Of its inhab- itants is concerned. Judge M. H. Geissler of the city court said on Mon day that there has not been a session of the tribunal during October and
 the month is now half gone. In days gone by such a record was rarely ever heard of.
 The. body of Mrs. Julia A. Eddy, a7, is to be brought to East Putnam for burial from Worcester, where Mrs. Eddy died Sunday night at the home of a relative at l5 Mason street Mrs. Eddy. born August 27. 1882. formerly was resident of Putnam.
 That there is something more to police work than merely seeing that the city is quiet and decorous and dischargins the routine duties of an officer has been shown by Captain John Bulger. Putnams efficient active head of police the captain has nothing to say on the 1 subject, that he recently played the role of Good Samaritan to a family l that he found to be facing a Sunday 1 with no prospect of having anything to eat on the day.
 Having learned that a mother and | her children were without a morse1 of | food in the house. the captain quietly | and purchased liberal supply of | foodstuffs, which he paid for from his | own pocket The captain has a fam i fly of his. own and his fatherly spirit | IS broad enough to sense the situation that the family of unfOrtunates were l facing: He knew, too, that the father i of the flock had only recently been | charged. with non support.
 On Monday the captains generous. act became known though it had | heretofore been a secret. s+fr
 Difficulty is being experienced bv in finding an interpreter who is Willing to be of service in the com ns trial of CanaiIe Shaki alias Sher- If, who is being held at Brooklyn iau Q await trlai at the present term of
 
 on the charge of attempting to kill | Annie Shaki. So-ca1ied who has been a-Patient at the Day Kimba1f hospital since Sherif filled him full of bullets -hree weeks ago tomorrow evening
 The shooting occurred at North AIbanians up there do not seem at all anxious to have any 1and in the trial of Sherif. evidently l fearing conseduences. 1t is apparent | that Sherif has friends. as we'll as has he man he shot, and getting mixed up n the trial does not appear to be any hing like an attractive proposition to habit of carrying guns and are some what careless in using them if any hing arouses their ire.
 A Norwich countryman of the par .ies concerned in the shooting affair rery courteously and respectfully de- :lined to have anything to do with he case when he was told that he vas wanted as an interpreter. While ole. Attorney c. l.. Torrey who. as public defender. will be Sherif's coun- ;el at the trial. points out that much of it is groundless.
 Further effort was being made on Monday to find someone who is willing 0 act in the capacity of interpreter.
