,Ferdinand M. Smith, who for yearsl
conducted a bazar in Fairfleld avenue.

i tention as a chorus singer in the cast 3‘
i of “Nancy Brown." at the Bijou Thea- I
| tre, New York. The dramatic critic of
3 the New York Journal singles him out
i in the fo‘lowlug paragraph: t
: “Another innovation is an obscurct
; chorus man with a voice. A powerful i
: musical, resonant baritone. That suchi
in voice is owned by one. with the(
.plobian name of Smith seems hardly:
i possible. He is Madison Smith. andt
‘; if cneorcs do not spoil him and he will i
give time and attention to cultivating"
his voice, it promises to be heard on;
dcr another name at some future date;
ill grand opcra. A man with such flnet
vocal organs should be. the protege of
- a rich person with a desire to give as a
legacy to the world this voice enriched
. by eu'fivation."
Madison Smith's voice Is familiar to ‘
a great many Briilgoporters. When he
was a student at the High school. he?
was a member of the Glee Club. and.

To the Editor of The Sentinel: So
many have spoken to me recently
about Lent, how to determine Easter,
and. given that dole, how to reckon
back to Ash Wednesday. that It occur-
red to me that ' few explanatory
words might be i tore-ring to a large
number. The 0 tom of observing a
season of fast b fore the festival of
Easter can be. tr cod back almost to
the. first century f the Christian era.
It was not eve where of uniform
length. at first orhaps only forty
hours. Later sl weeks by some and
seven by others ere observed. but in
the former case a Sundays were not
lnclndéd In the f t and in the latter
case the Sabbatl or Saturdays were
not counted as fat days. For a Ions;
time there was ad agreement as to tho .
time for observing Blaster and the pre- i
ceding fast. ,So that when part of the
church was fnstl 3 another part was
feasting. In the eastern churches the i
date of Easter w a fixed by observing .
according to the chronology of Johni
the fourteenth do .of the month Nisan ‘
as the day of on Lord's crucifixion

Following the Je 'isli custom of make;
ing the phases of he moon the basis of t
computation, It was decreed the Sun-'4
day after the fourteenth day of the so-i
called Paschal mean. which fourteenth
day came on or after the vernal equi-
nox (March 21 )would be Easter.
If the moon were fourteen days old
on the day of the vernal equinox and
the next day should be. Sunday. Easter
would fall on the earliest day possible.
March 22d. If, however. the new t
moon had fallen on March 2ist. anoth- ’

ed of the six weeks before Easter not .
counting Sunday as fast days. thusi
there were thirty-six days of Lent. It
is not certain when Asb-Wednesdav
and the three following days were add-
ed. they are ascribed to Gregory the
Great and to Gregory the Second. In
the former cites the date would be
about A. D.. 600. in the latter not enr-
llcr than 715, A. D. The number for.
tv days was doubtless determined by ,

The Joint Committee of the General Assembly on New Towns and Pro-

division of the town of Norwalk and the incorporation of the town of South
Norwalk. met in executive session at the Capitol, yesterday. and voted unani-
mously to report to the General Assembly, a substitute resolution dividing
the old town and incorporating the new.

Middle Five Mile River School District which lies on the northerly side of
the turnpike. and flxcs\as the line betw 'en the town of norwalk and the town
of South Norwalk the present northerly line of the East Norwalk Fire 015- ‘
trict. and the present. northerly line cf the City of South Norwalk as far as
the westerly side of Crescent street. thence running northerly to a point in
the easterly boundary line of the Matthews property which would be reached '
by extending easterly the boundary line between the said Matthews prop- ‘
city and the Stewart property. as said line between said properties runs
back from West avenue. and from said point in the easterly boundary of
said Matthews property running acrcss said property to and along said line.
between said Matthews and Stewaripropertles to the westerly end of said
line. and from said westerly end of 3?” line. in a general westerly direction '
across West avenue. passing along the southerly side. of the Nathan ‘Hale
Memorial, in a direct line to the northerly (or westerlyl line of the the.
Connecticut turnpike. thru along the ll lrtherly line of the turnpike to the
I‘nlon School District line. then folb wing the said School District lllle and
the Middle Five Mile River School District line to the Daricn line.
It is believed that the northerly l':le of the new town. near the armory.
was changed by the committee bi‘f'all.‘ 3 certain of the people of Norwalk
objected to the line flxl-d iii the ortgil‘ ll resolution. on the ground that'the
proposed line passed through the but sea of Mr. Kelly and Mrs. Matthews.
and that It would be unreasomiblc ai-l illogical to nave those houses stand
partly in the new town and partly ill the old.
The committee, out of deference to these views. it is understood. believ-
ing the northerly line of the Matthews property to be the best natural
I boundary in that vicinity. decided to recommend that the line be fixed as
above outlined. The committee will probably submit its report to the As-
sembly on Tuesday.

Origin of Blue in John w. Scotty's
.Pnlnt Store is Still Unknown.
t Work was begun tlils morning clear-

; as great as was at first thought. though
in great deal of the stock will have to
,be replaced with new. Mr. Beatty
Inge this morning. The interior of
.the. store will be put lil shape as soon
ins possible and a new stock will be
.purchased at an early date.
i The origin of the fire remains as
- much of a mystery as ever. The only
‘theory which has been advanced, how-
.ever, is that one of the pieces of Ising-
.glass in the. stove was broken and a
ired hot coal snapped out through the
ihole and landed in a bundle of wall
,paper standing a few feet away. The
fire spread from the paper to the
A. shelves upon which the stock was stor-
ned and a number of bottles of shellac
tbecame ignited. which accounts for
{the quickness with which the flre
spread.

tthe building was due to the quickness
twlth which Putnam Hollie Company

,rived on the scene. Their effective
