 Theatre Offering

Names make news and personali- ties make names interesting. One of the most interesting personali- ties connected with the coming Lit- tie Theater production "Pirates of Penzance" is debonair, violin play ing, Mario Di Cecco, it's musical di- rector.
 Violinist Di Cecco loves music. Born on the sunny slopes of the Province of Benvuento, Italy, he brings to his music all the warmth and color that goes with the TO- mantle appreciation of the spirit of the arts. In the orchestra pit he shows his true genius as the inter- pretative leader. drawing forth from man and instrument the full value of the music being played.
 In the quiet of his studio. MT DiCecco talked of many things apart from music. He talked of Italy, it's people and it's problems. And one could see that in his in depreciation of affairs of the world his mind penetrated far down into the emotional side of human nature profound than a casual survey of obvious superficialities. Over cup of black coffee, Mir Di Cecco ex- |plained the intricacies Of the mu- | sic Of the Pirates of Penzance."

Ovation Continues
 Three Minutes;
 243 Graduates
Gilmartn in Introducing Superintendent Tells of Lat- ters Work Which Has Made Local Evening Schools Models of Education

Before an audience last evening that taxed the seating capacity of the auditorium of Wilby High school, two hundred and forty three graduates of the Waterbury Evening Schools received their di- plomas from John J. Walsh, pres fdent of the Board of Education. The program, pleasing in its brev- ity and in its nature, comprised well-selected and well-rendered musical and choral numbers by the high school orchestra and members of the Glee Club; also two oratorical pieces by Miss Catherine Adams of Wilby High school and by Classen Perkins of Crosby High school, which were diligently prepared and ably de- livered.
 John c. Gilmartin, supervisor of the Waterbury Evening schools. was in charge of the exercises. In introducing Superintendent Coll don, he said he was signally hon. ored in being first to introduce him to a public: audience, since the lat- ter assumed his new duties as head of the schools of Waterbury. The three minute ovation which the superintendent received attested clearly of the esteem in which he is held by the students and public and at the same time showed their appreciation of what he has done to elevate the evening schools. In commenting upon this spontaneous outburst MT Gilmartin said it was indeed merited. For it was through MT Condon's energy and efforts that the Evening schools are today the superior to many and the equal of any in the state. This. MT Gilmartin said, he could sub- stantiates by letters he has received from those in charge of evening school work throughout the state.
 MT Condon congratulated the classes upon their fine showing and exhorted them to continue along the same line of duty. The basic note of his address was Have Faith in Yourself" With out 1t he remarked man cannot travel far along the road of suc- cess; with it he can overcome bar riers that are seemingly insur-

mountable. To prove his point he mentioned many characters in his- tory who from the very onset of their career were confronted with troubles and difficulties, but who by their perseverance and faith in themselves, effectively overcame them. He cited particularly the cases of Disraeli and Lincoln.
 John Walsh, who was introduced by Superintendent Condon, praised the members for their good work. He said he appreciated the many sacrifices that their going to school four nights week entailed and assured them that the future would see them amply compensated, both financially and intellectually, for this work. He asked the graduates of the grammar schools to exem- plify next year the same zeal and perseverance they exhibited during the past six months by attending the Evening High schools.

 Mir Di Cecco teaches violin. He demands of his students a respect for music and if the talent and ap- preciaiton of music is there he says that the master must develop and guide the young student along carefully prepared paths of growth.
 The true musician he says finds as much enjoyment in leading an orchestra as in composing or play ing it's music. At the next Little Theater production you will have the opportunity of seeing him in action, baton in hand, whirlwind of dynamic, but understanding leadership.

MIST Use JUDGMENT

Congress has enacted a new law
which governs the issue of securi-
ties. 1t is claimed that $25, ,000, ,000,-
900 in worthless securities have been
put over on the American people in
10 years. If our people had not lost
that good money, they would be
much nearer Easy street today.
The new law is supposed to stop
a lot of slick work. But no law is
fool proof. People who sell such
securities are now supposed to reg
lister them, and file full statements
Of the financial condition of the COM
panies issuing them. This is a very
good idea, and will help. But how
many people are competent to ana
lyze such statements?
To prevent such frauds, the gov
ernment would need a very great
force of investigators, who should
inquire into the condition of all COM
panies issuing such stock or bonds,
and determine if their statements
were fair and complete or not. The
government may not have funds to
provide any sucR thorough inquiry.
Also many statements may be true
as far as they go. but essential facts
might be omitted, making such Sc
curities look much better than they
really are.
So the situation is likely to be
still, that if people do not want to
lose their money, they would better
keep their eyes well open when they
part with their dollars. Too much
signing on the dotted line has re-
duced innumerable families to pow
erty. Don't speculate, unless you
can afford to lose.

BUSINESS CAN BE INCREASED

A business expert remarks that
no concern has reached the limit of
the business it might have. Many
business people will say they are
working just as hard as they pos
sibly can to get more trade, and
they ask how they can get any
more.
Well, the answer is partly within
their own power, and partly it de-
pends upon those who work for
them. If a concern has not devoted
a certain standard proportion of its
receipts to soliciting new trade by
advertising, it is capable of much
greater expansion. Also the success
of a concern depends very much
upon whether it gets loyal and in
telligent cooperation from its help.
If they are up on their toes, work
ing to improve the trade of that CON
cern, trying to make new friends
for it all the time, they will be able
to do so.

MOTOR RACE DEATHS

The hope of winning great au-
tOmobile race leads many to take
chances with the death angel. While
records were being broken at the In
dianapolis motor track the other
day. three young men yielded their
promising lives to the passion for
success.
The daring and skill with which
such racers make high speeds is
something marvellous and people ap-
plaud it. But it seems too bad that
young men with such capacities
have to be sacrificed to the vehem-
ence of their desire for fame and
money. Some young men are SO con-
stituted that the one thing they
can't stand is obscurity. The urge
to go out and win something big
dominates them, and the fear of
death does not trouble them much.
They may have the right to take
their own chances, but is is hard on
their families. .,.-f.s,a

Milford, Friday, June 3, 1888

THE DIE HAS BEEN CAST and
the verdict of Delaware voters as
registered at the polls on Tuesday
certainly is clear cut and decisive.
Sussex, Kent and rural New Castle
counties have each voted overwhelm-
ingly for the legal sale of beer and
if and when the 18th Amendment
to the federal constitution is repeal
ed It is needless to hunt for rea-
sons for this Overturn in sentiment
on the part of residents in rural
Delaware. Suffice is it to say that
the verdict has been reached and the
people generally seem to be pleased
with the result.
There is no question but that re-
spectacle citizens in all parts of the
State were fed up on the manner in
which liquor control was handled.
Any man, woman or child with the
price could get liquor from the boot
logger without any questions being
asked. The sad part of it was that
those buying the STUFF in many in
stances had no idea as to what it
was made from or the sanitary con-
ditions surrounding its manuafc-
ture. 1t is hoped that the legal sale
of beer in lower Delaware will elm
mate this danger and that the
drinking habits of the citizens will
be satisfied with the new change.
The rules promulgated by Pierre |
S. dupont, State Liquor Commits
sioner, for the sale of beer, certain
ly are stringent and if enforced, as
they probably will be, should do
much to make conditions better gen
orally. The die has been cast. 1t
is up to those favoring the new
deal" to see that the privilege is not
abused.

BRIGHT TOWNS

Every town has its reputation. II
will be remarked by outsiders that
it is a dead town, SLOW town,
"one horse town, or bright
town." or a progressive town.
What determines in which of these
classes a community shall fall?
Bright and progressive towns are
the ones where people are working
actively to improve the business and
the advantages OF those places. 1t
is almost impossible for a commun-
iity to achieve that kind of reputa-
tion, unless it has active conmun-
,ity organizations, made up Of people
who are huslting for enlarged bust
ness, for the removal of obstacles
to the progress of the community,
and for all the advantages that
town of that type should have. If
town is active and working ener-
getically for progress, its reputation
as bright town win spread a long
distance.

THE STARRY FLAG

One of the interesting dates in
the history of the American people
is June IA. On that date in the year
1777, when the Revolutionary war
had been going on over two years,
the Continental Congress decided
that the 13 colonies needed flag as
an emblem of their national unity.
1t was a long step in advance, when
they thus decided that they were no
longer 13 independent states, but had
become a nation. and as such need
ed the flag which they then designed
on its present pattern.
The gay colors of flag are some
thing more than a pretty design.
What is the feeling that comes over
the traveller in far away lands, as
his throat swells up at the sight of
that emblem?
The true American feels for his
country a sentiment like that felt
toward the home that has sheltered
him for many years, and which has
been the center of his joys and sor-
rows. That home is for him much
more than the wood or bricks of
which it is built. Something of his
soul has gone into that structure. If
that dwelling was destroyed, no
other which he could erect could
take its place.
So the United States is our home |
endeared by a thousand |
les of friendship and a thousand |
benefits received. If we have had |
blessings of education, and more
comfort and welfare than the dwell
srs in other lands have had, it is
because the spirit of America pro-
-ided these blessings.
We can take every one of our ad-
'antages and show that we have had
hem because the men and women
Fho made America made these gifts
'ossible. Our heart should then
well when we see the flag which
ymbolizes the life of our nation.
md we should resolve to be true to
he message that flag conveys, by
laking our America worthy of the
Ugh aims with which it was found
d. l.

RELIEF FOR HOWE OWNERS

We're you ever in the position of
a home owner who could not meet
the payments on his mortgage? If
so, you know the heartache that
comes when you put something of
your life blood into paying for a
home, and then find the payments
too much for you. The federal home
loan bill that congress has been
working on has been to such folks
like a beam of light on a dark and
stormy night
1t is a terrible thing for the ma
tion, when millions of people are
driven from their homes by hard
conditions. If others similarly
threatened can make the payments
they have agreed on, they should
strive and sweat to do so. But if
they simply can't, this legislation
makes generous provisions by which
their payments may be reduced. 1t
will be a godsend in many families
that had reached the end of their
rome.

THE FLAG OF THE FREE

June IA, Flag Day, is famous as
the date when the United States
government originally adopted the
national flag of Stars and Stripes.
Our people have made a most amaz-
ing advance since that date, 1856
years ago. Then they were a feeble
and scattered people, with doubts as
to whether they could live as a ma
tion. Today they are the most pow
erful country in the world.
The flag then adopted is the sym
boil of what we call American prin-
ciples, freedom, justice, and equal
opportunity. We have come far from
realizing those aims, yet we have
done something to uphold them.
That something is the power that
has made our country what it is.
