 To Help o Orphanage
Ninety Mixed Voices to Be Heard at St Jcseps lial;
 Matinee Wednesday For Nuns of City

For over two months 1ow,. vast and extensive preparations have been made by the various commit tees for the Second Annual Min strei Show at St Joseph's auditors ium on John street, Wednesday evening, for the benefit of St Joseph's parish and orphanage. Rev Joseph Valantiejus and the director, John Stokes, are pre- pared to, announce to the general public of Waterbury and vicinity this mammoth annual affair.
 The minstrel this year is being put on for the benefit mainly of St Joseph's Orphanage. Last Sep- tember Gas in every year). thanks to our ever benevolent and popular mayor, the annual Tag Day for the benefit of the orphanage was again the scene of a busy army of St Joseph's Parochial school children and adults soliciting funds wher- ever possible for the orphanage! But the Tag Day this year proved especially unsuccessful, due to the inclemency of the weather. Thus were the busy minds of St Joseph's parish constrained to embark upon some program wherewith to sup plement the unexpected deficit. As a result of much thinking the plan of a Benefit Minstrel and Dance finally emerged and instantly com mittees were formed and plans prepared for the benefit program.
 For two months now there have been constant rehearsals and much cahvassing unto a successful out. come The director and n0mfrlit~ tees feel and know that their pulp lie vii lnot in any way be defraud- ed sthey assure the public of an excellent show and ideal dancing. Neither time nor labor nor expense have been involved as considera- tions the one principle and purpose as a beautiful theme in an outstanding symphony has been and still is to present such a scenic splendor that ali who shall have in any way contributed will ifl-. stinctively feel proud of their charity and it's appropriateness

 ! COUCHLIN ON THE
 CURRENCY ISSUE
May Be Central Figure in
 Settlement of Expan- es sion Plan
BY LYLE c. WILSON (COpyFight, 1885, by United Press)

tCOpyFhBnt, lUoO, Dy OuIteu FressJ
 Washington, Jan. 31.-CUP).- Father Charles E. Coughlin's de- vastating campaign against the world court made him a central figure today in congressional cur rency expansion strategy. Seasoned observers believe the Detroit priest in a radio sermon last Sunday night gave court opposition in the United States senate the impetus necessary to defeat adherence. Cur. rency expansion plans as outlined to the United Press depends in part upon Father Coughlin's assistance. Senators are in constant touch with him.
 The immediate objective of sen- ate expansionists is to win the south, to freer use of silver. That Is the purpose, behind the senate agriculture committees apparently airnless discussion of export trade. There is informal agreement to test strength first on the Wheeler bill which is an unqualified 16.to-1 free silver coinage measure masquerad- ing as a farm relief legislation. The bill was deliberately drafted as a farm relief bill so 1t could be re- ferred to Chairman Ellison D. Smiths agriculture committee rather than to the senate bank ing and currency committee, which would have buried it among waste paper.
 On the word of interested sena- tors. tho south is to Joe shown that all the competing cotton producing silver standard-Mexico, Chile, naions are on cheap paper or Argentina. India, Egypt and China. In an effort to win cotton states votes for silver legislation 1t will be argued that these foreign na- tions produce cotton cheaply in terms of gold as compared with the United States. A show of force, they believe, would compel the treasury to speed up the silver buying program.
