UNIQUE CONCERT HELD
 LAST THURSDAY EVENING
Miss Marie Tiffany Delights A Large Audi .... ence

One of the most unique and thor oughly pleasing recitals ever given in Canaan was presented last Thurs the stage and stated that Miss Marie Marie Tiffany and Chester Gaylord The recital was an artistic success in every respect, and MT. Parsons is te be congratulated for securing these capable and charming artists for am appearance here.
 When Mir. Gaylord appeared on the stage and stated that Miss Mrie Tiffany would sing in unison with her re-created voice and that the audi ence would not be able to tell the difference between re-created and hw- ing voice, many persons were skepti- cal. Attempt to match that glorious voice with device of mere wood and metall Impossiblel The skepticm were soon convinced, however, for, in Miss Tiffany's initial number on the program, her lips ceased to move, but her song went on. Slowly it dawned on the mystified audience that Marie Tiffany was no longer singing, though her voice came forth as clear and sweet as before Again, she sang, but the audiencs only knew 1t was the living Marie Tiffany by the motion of her lps. If seemed as if there were two artists on the stage, two singers, but only one voice. The tones emanatinx from the New Edison were identical with those of the living artist, and it was impossible to detect any diff- erence. The instrument produced not an echo or copy, but the reaa thing-Marie Tiffany's voice, un- tainted by any mechanical transfor- mations-unspoiled by any metallic ring.
 After the applause which followed this miracle" exhibition, Miss Tiff- any shared the stage with her fellow musician, the New Edison They sang in unison with the re- creation of their art. Only by watching her could one know when the living artist was being heard alone and when the muse came in double measure. The re-creation was absolutely identical with the original in every particular.
 I Further numbers in which Marix Tiffany and Chester Gaylord per- formed with themselves impressed tho conviction Of one's inability t1 distinguish between re-created arl and it's original.

WEST CORNWALL P. O.
 ENTERED BY BURGLARS
Blow Up Safe and Take About $1O0 in
 Cash

The post office at West Cornwall was entered some time Tuesday night, by burglars and the safe, in which stamps, cash and other post office material is kept completely blown to pieces. While the exact value of the money and stamps taken is not known, L. J. Nickerson, the postmaster, stated that he thought the amount was between $50 and s100.
 The burglar or burglars gained entrance, by breaking a panel in the door of the post office, after which they drilled the safe and used what was supposedly nitroglicerin com pletely wrecking it. A muffied sound as that made by an explosion of this kind was heard during the night, but no investigation was made. Post master Nickerson discovered the bur- glary when he went to the office in the morning and immediately not fled the state police, who are making an investigation.
 The job was evidently done by experts who had considerable experi ence in this work, as the slight noise made and the extent of the damage done would indicate. While the post office has never before beer robbed, Cornwall and vicinity seemI to be favorite place for operationi of this nature.

The accident took place at the nome of Clayton Hart, where the poys were playing and the gun, 3z call bre. was held by Clayton Hart' IT, when it was accidentally discharged. The bullet struck William Gancl m the left breast just above the heart, struck rib and glancing loogeu under his left arm.
 The boys were terror strlckeh when they realized one of thelr play yoates was shot and one of them took to his heels while the other assisted Ganci to his home and then called for . nhysician. Ganci took the matter very calmly, remarklng to his sister, a young girl, that ne nao been shot and that he would go up stairs and lay down for while. Ills noother. Mrs. Joseph D. Gancl, was in Pittsfield for the day and knew nothing of the accident until sne arrived home on the evening tram. Some of the boarders at the Gancl home assisted by Mrs. Fred Parsons made the lad comfortable until pr: Adam arrived, when he was removen to the Litchfield County hospital:
 An examination showed the lad had lost but little blood and that +he hullet had lodged under the left arm. Aside from the shock no Ill effects are looked for unless com nlicatiens set in. The bullet had not been removed at this writing as It was advised to give the patient a chance to recover from the effects of the shooting before operating.

HERE'S A NEW ONE FOR
 LOU" STONE.

Ives & Peirce claim they have the best cat for catching rats in town. This feline has become so aggressive in a single handed att tempt to destroy all the rats in town, that she will go out and catch two at a time. The rats about the mill, however, are so large that in order to bring them into the office for inspection she has found it necessary to tie them together and hang them across her back. Such wise feline is wasting her time in a small town like this, therefore we respectfully call the attenton of MT. Stone, trusting he will have it removed to Winsted where her efforts will attract attention.

TOWN MEETING
 MONDAY, OCTOBER 4th
Interesting Items Gathered From the Officers
 Report

The annual COWu SACS1AOn meeting will be held at the town hall next Monday, October 4th and wnlle there is little interest in the election, due to the fact that there is no con- test. several questions of interest to every voter will come before the meeting for discussion. One or these is the question of holding cleo lions biennially. Others relate to appointing special constable, tne appointment of town manager and the employment of a valuation ex- pert to assist in the assessment of nroperty. Voters generally shouid be interested in these matters.
 The town report tells many inter esting things to one who studies lf. At first glance at the recap1tulation of orders drawn the amount seems unusually large, $29,729.89, against s13,709.89 last year, but upsn analy- sis there are found very good req sons for this increase. In the first | place there were two bridges to pay | for, costing $13,216.11, which if de-
 ducted would nearly cut the expen-
 ditures in half. On top of this the
 town voted $500 for the Canaan
 Fire Co.,, new piano was bought for
 the town hall and repairs made, l totaling $45O.2O; then severe winr
 ter sent the cost of shoveling snow
 up to S926.20, while cloud burst on
 Tobey Hill cost $326 and the extra
 ordinary expenses of assessors came
 to $174.25. ..' ..--
 l The past year janitor has been
 maintained at the town hall whose
 salary together with fuel and other
 operating costs amounted to $650,
 Heretofore arrangements were made
 to lease the hall to outside parties
 and the cost to the town was nothing
 which though economical was every way unsatisfactory. However, talk
 ing out these extraordinary expenses i to the town, the total would be $13,656.35, or about $150 odd dol 5 lars less than last year. The selectmen's estimates for tht 5 coming year has been increased nearly $5,0OO due principally to thu : increase in teachers salaries I amounting to $3,000 more than las - year. The remaining $2,000 is di l vided between roads and bridges = paupers and interest. The total O 0 the estimate for the coming year :. $36,950.
 Aside from a slight increase in tn t salaries of teachers, the report of tn V school committee is about the sam d as last year. The total amount 0 s l orders drawn is $20,177.81 fror
 which should be deducted $3,893.I
 received from the state and $1,287.S
 1received from other towns for pr
 lpils attending school here, leavln IS the net cost $14,996.22, as compare 1T with $11 1,831.61 last year.
 ol The report of the supervisor give if a most complete and comprehensiv le account of the condition of tn l. schools. during the past year. Th d report of the directors of Dougls d library shows the present building ;o be inadequate and either extensis 3. repairs must be made soon or ne sr building erected. The report of tl le health officer shows that there wei ,el a few more cases of contagious di lgH ease, except Influenza, the past yes ee than the year before. With 500 r ces ported cases the year previou
 people were undoubtedly too bus
 with the "Flu" to catch anythir
 else.

Worthwhile Savinc.

An efficiency expert found that the girls in a hat manufactory whose work it was to sew silk-ribbon bows and hat bands on hats wasted bits of rib bon valued at $500 year in cutting by guess from the rolls of ribbon given to each girl. Now the ribbons in that factory are cut by accurate gauges.
