Waterbury's present administra- ton will oppose any attempt in the legislature to change the local Sys- tenn of government to the council manager plan. Mayor Frank Hayes when interviewed, declared that the city will introduce four or five small bills during the coming week. Asked what attitude would be taken on a bill to establish the manager form of government here, Mayor Hayes declared that the aldermen and the administration as a whole will en- dorse only such bills as are prepared by Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor.
 The latter is now busy preparing the bills. His work is about ended, though. Of course as predicted long ago. one bill wllr call for the repeal of the police ripper bill. Two bills will provide for small bond issues. one of $4O,O00 to build new pump ing static and replace water mains in the western section of the city, and one of about $30.O00 for a com munity building in Washington park. The repeal of the deficit act passed at the last session of the legislature will be sought in another bill.
 Another bill will call for the re- peal of the act passed several years ago creating the children's home commission. This commission is not functioning now and the bill to be introduced, if passed. would wipe the body out of existence entirely. At the present time the child well

csc poetry into English, and of west ern poetry into Assamese, is work in which students have made much progress. These and many other changes, she will show, have fol- lowed the entry of Christianity into a land once regarded as the most jealously guarded in the Orient.
 Miss Crawford will present pie ture of work in a Christian hospital China, far up the Yangtse nearly 2.00O miles from the sea. Suifu, the city in which it is situated, is one of the points around which the mael- strom of revolution and civil war has swept. But the high esteem in which the Chinese of all ranks have held the hospital have given 1t a unique position of independence. The territory surrounding 1t has population of more than 100000.
 The medication of Christian prin- ciples through the medium of sec- ular and religious education, is the reason for the existence of Colegio Bautista, in Santa Ana. The school. which Is recognized by the state. conforms to the state six-grade sys- tenn instead of eight. It has an average enrolment of 165 and em- ploys six qualified Salvadorean teachers.
 In presenting the story of her so- cial service work, Miss Collyer draws upon colorful background of Italian life in Greater New York, where new arrivals, and second gen. eration Latins are seeking to merge themselves into the life of America. The Christian Center" in which she serves. has an enrolment of more than 600. ranging from early child hood to old age.

ANOTHER CROWD
 AT TEMPLE HALL
Chase Girls Club Second Night Greater Success
 Than the First
GOOD MUSICAL COMEDY

Another successful presentation or That's That a musical comedy, was given by the Chase Girls club in Temple hall last night. last night g audience was larger than that ol the previous night and as the various actors and actresses went through their parts, 1t seemed that greater applause was meted out.
 Gus Schoeck, Jr., Elmer Wilson tnd Robert Tyrell scored the big hits for the male part of the show. The former two were cast in comedy roles with the latter as male lead cast in a difficult singing and speak : ing role. George Grenier as q tough guy" also registered. The girls re- ceiving applause aplenty were Christine Calvin, Viola Masone, So- phie Franklin, Freda Klies, and Bessie Hageman. Miss Calvin played opposite MT Schoeck as the second lead and was required to perform intricate dance and song selections. Likewise Miss Hageman was called upon to perform difficult vocal and dance selections. Dancing appeared as easy as falling off log to Miss Masone who was given a big hand for her Mamie" number. opposite MT Grenier. Miss Franklin cared off the oratorical honors easily as the aunt of the leading lady, Miss Klies. She was very impressive and con vincing in the role.
 Pupils of Miss Imelda Casey in different dance selections were re- ceived with much applause as they performed difficult steps with grace and posture. Members of the com mittee in charge of the show were Miss Klfes. chairman, Miss Franklin Mildred Alcott. Mary Heddernan Peggy Shechan. Miss Calvin. Mss Winonah Smith was accompainist. .

EXHIBITION IS
 ATTRACTING MANY
Paintings By American Art- iSts at MattatuCk His-
 tOrical Gallery
IS A RARE TREAT

The exhibition of paintings now
 showing at the Mattatuck Historical
 society, 119 West Main street, con- tinues to attract many visitors daily.
 The pictures, loaned by the Mac
 beth Gallery, are fine examples of
 the work of contemporary American artists and will be on display until
 the end of the month. There are
 about twenty-two paintings in oil, and fourteen water colors.
 Some of the paintings are un-
 usually large canvasses and the sub
 jects most colorful and full of beau
 tiful shadings. The winter scenes,
 of which there are quite few, are especially pleasing to the eye. It would be difficult to go into detail of description of any of these canvasses
 as such description would come bet ter from one acquainted, to some ex- tent with the technicalities of the art of painting.
 The pictures, however, are not be- yond the enjoyment of anyone who can appreciate a true likeness of na = ture, such as beautiful trees, the ef- feet of sunlight in the woods in win ter, a frozen stream in winter flow or groups, or portrait subject, such as "Tosca in Burnt Orange" and many other subjects of color and beauty. Of the winter scenes Wal ter l.. Palmer's "On the Mohawk" is q beautiful thing of soft mauve tints red barns and a green sleigh are q
 contrast against the snow in Carl
 Iawless Sunlight Valley; John F Carlson's "Winter Sunlight" and Gardner Symons' 'Snow Bound
 Stream" are also numbered among the winter scenes. Childe Hassa m E Bridge at Lyme" Is q typical Con- necticut scen& and C. K. Chatter
 tons "Kenndbunkport Street" with its noble white house and nobler
 trees has an especial appeal for the New Englander.
 The exhibition. which none should
 miss, is open week days from 10
 a. m. to 5 D. m. in the large gallery

State Central Committee Discusses Manner of Selection -O'SulIivan Urges Mass Formation of Democratic Clubs to Win State in l93z

With Governor Wilbur l.. Cross in q position to make approximately 100 direct appointments without any interference from the legisla- ture, the democratic state central committee met yesterday afternoon in New Haven and discussed the manner in which the candidates for these places should be chosen. Fol- lowing a lengthy discussion 1t was agreed that the highest. qualified democrats. only. should be picked for the various places.
 The 35 senatorial district repre- sentatives on the central committee will study the qualifications of many named for appointments al- ready. and will report back at a later meeting.
 Yesterd; y's session was called by State Chairman P. E. O'Sullivan for the purpose of getting democratic orga nization work started in. prepar- alton for the campaign in 1892. Chairman O'Sullivan pointed out the need of steady. consistent work every day of the coming two years SO that the party will have an even stronger front to offer Tn the 1892 election.
 In conformity with the organiZa- tion work, it was voted by the com 1nittee to go into every community where there are no democratic clubs and organize such bodies. Steps will then be taken to interest people in taking an active part in democratic affairs of the various communities. Yesterdays meeting was the most largely attended session In about two years.

fare work Is being carried on by the public welfare department. A new bill to be introduced will provide a clearer plan for taking care of de- ficits.
 Several bills on taxes will be intro duced by the Charter commission, it Is expected. and also a bill providing for a $2.000,0 900 funding bond issue. Mayor Hayes is not in favor of this latter measure, taking the stand that the ctiy's bonded indebtedness is high enough.
 The bill on the city manager will be put in by independent parties. it Is expected. In his annual message, approved by the aldermen, Mayor Hayes took the stand that only such bills as are passed by the aldermen will be supported by the administra- tion.
 This means that the charter com- missions bills will not be supported. It does not mean that they will be actively opposed either. As for the city manager bill, the administra- tion will take the necessary steps to handle the matter, Mayor Hayes said.
 All bills to be filed with the legis- lature must be handed in by next Friday.

idea Of just what TO expect from their
men next Saturday evening at the
Catholic University games in Washing

Mackenzie In the dashes, Fraser in
the hurdles, Evans in the 500 and Glib
son in the mile looked the best for
Navy, while Brown in the half, Ward
and Herman in the daShes, Krajcovic
in the shot and Busick in the pole
vault were Maryland's best.
The meet this afternoon was such a
success that 1t is quite possible that ii
may naterialize into a regular yearly
affair. Both teams show the need OF
such competition for the Winter sea
son. Nays 3:42:5 for the mile relay
was nothing TO rave about.
