many encores. and responding fre-
quently.

The principal attraction at the Paint»
crs' Union was the Guitar, Mandolin
and Banjo Club, of the Young Men's
Christian Association, which was
heard with pleasure by all. The first
number on the program was by the
club, and at intervals throughout the
evening the members favored with
selections. The other numbers were:

Shot Himsol
in The Heart

Willem Valentine. of East
Norwalll. Ended His liferth
A .32 Calibre Revolver les-

iieen Desponiieni for Some
Time

Al East Norwxlk home. which only
yesterday was one of the happiest in
town. is today plunged in the deepest
gloom over the suicide of a nineteen-
year~oid son and brother. The young
man who committed the act in a tit of
temporary insanity, was William Val-
entine. son of Mr. and Mrs. Elbert J.
Valentine, of 284 Blast- avenue. lie
shot himself through the heart, and
dcdth was instantaneous.

William Valentine was well-known
in East Norwalk. of a quiet disposi-
tion and the last person lrls'friends
thought would have committed the
deed. The shock to his family and
friends, when they heard the news last
evening, was consequently very great.
The family have the sympathy of the
entire community in tlrelr terrible ai-
diction.

The act was willful and premeditat-
mi and the family and friends have yet
to ilrrd a reason for it. Yesterday
morning Mrs. Valentine left her boy at
10 o‘clock. in charge of the house and
went to South Norwalk to nurse a
sick friend. The other children were
away to school. and the boy was left
entirely alone. For the pust'few weeks
he had complained of pains in his head
and his mother and father had urged
him to see a doctor about the trouble.
but he put it off. preferring to remain
at home.

Not long ago he resigned his position
in the packing room of the Lockwood
Manufacturing Company. and went to
work for the Colonial Foundry and
Machine Company. to learn the tin-
smitir's trade. it was while working
there that he was troubled with severe
pains in the head. and for the past few
days he had stayed at home. After his
mother left him‘, the boy procrlrcd a
.32 calibre revolver, where, his parents
do not know. and was practicing shoot-
ing at a target in the back yard for
an hour in the morning.

Residents in the vicinity distinctlv

heard the shots and some remarked on
the peculiar performance, although
inot much attention was paid to it at
the lime. Later they understood that
ire had been practicing how best to end
his life. Shortly beforenoon he went
into the house. prepared dinner for his
nineyear-old brother Ernest. and when
the lad came home to dinner they sat
down and ate together. Ernest return-
ed to school and after awhile William
again went into the back yard and re.
newed his shooting He went back in-
to the house. and that was the last
seen of him alive.

The young man probably soon after
he reached the house. wont to his room
on the second floor. and grasping the
revolver firmly. pulled the trigger. the
bullet piercing his heart. His father.
who is employed by Tallmadge &
Lyon. the oyster dealers. as opener.
was the first to get home. arriving at
the house about 5 o'.clock He noticed
that his son was not around. but did
not day much attention to the fact. as
he thought he might be around the
neighborhood. having stepped out for
a few minutes. Mr. Valentine busied
himself prepariirg supper for his wife
and children. and shortly before 6
o ‘ciock. having become a little worried
about his son. who did not return. cali-
ed up the stairs to him.

He received no response and al-
though he shouted It the top of his
lungs there was no answer. By this
time he was thoroughly amused. and
rushing upstairs he tried the knob, but
found the door locked. Then he imag-
,lued and was ready for the worst.
Forcing the door open he hastened to
the boy‘s aide to find him dead. He
had shot himself through the heart.

had been practicing in the morning and

An excellent oviiig picture exhibi-
tion, under auspices of Company F. and
given by the Barnum-Lumiere concern,

was a good zed audience at the Arm
ory. consld as the drileing rain
storm. last night. The exhibition is
under the able management of J P.
Dibble.

in addition to the almost innumera-
ble moving pictures, there were illus—
tratcd songs. the music being furnished
by a graphophone. Other entertain-
ments of the some nature will be given
by the company. at the, armory. this
evening. and Saturday evening. and
there will also be a Saturday afternoon
matinee. While at the same general
character, different programs will be
given at each performance.

The exhibition is well worth the
price of admissipn." and It is unlikely
that there was alsinglodissstislled per»
son in last nig t'o audience. It is
probable that mpony F will net a
neat sum as the result of the euter~
prise.

Among the most planning of the mov-
ing pictures shown'last night. might
be mentioned the scenes in the Barnum
and Bailey circus. the magic pictures.
Niagara Falls and the rapids. the tire
scenes. a rough sea taken on ship-
board. the comic pictures and many
others equally good.

Seats for the audience have been pro-
vided on the Armory floor. where the
exhibition is given.

aground on Round Beach in on It-
tempt to give Captain Nelson Lawson
a lift and tow home in his sloop. Cap-
tain Sopcr was returning with his oys-
ter steamer “Emily" to South Norwalk
when the accident occurred. and, as it
was nearly high tide, he was compel-
led to wait until this morning before
he got the boat off.

Captain S'oper was steaming up the
harbor when he saw Captain Lawson
having hard work to get up the bar-
bor in his sloop. He immediately
pointed his boat around and in making
the circle he went too close to Round
Beach and before he could prevent it.
the bow of the steamer went onto the
beach, only a short distance south of
the well-known barrel that is covered
at high tide.

He reversed the engines, but the
the boat would not budge and Captain
Soper went home and waited until
10 o'clock last night, when he went
down the harbor again. This morn-
ing he succeeded in getting the boat
off at high tide with little trouble and
found that she was not damaged.

Captain Soper‘s father-in-law. Abra-
