Dramatic.

A critic writes There is good reason fo, anticipating that the production of the
 new drama entitled '"The Slave of Guilt, J at Csrll's Opera House tonight. will be worthy of remembrance as gan import tant event in the annals of dra.
 matic art in this city. The play itself, the work of an experienced New York jour nalist, has been pronounced by competent
 critics brilliant in it's depletion of character and passion, original and ingenious in its plot, natural and thrillingly interesting
 throughout in it's situations and of rare ex-
 cellence in literary construction. But such
 company as that engaged in it's presenta-
 tion would be capable of making even a me diocre play attractive. Frank Evans and Frank Mordaunt, who are at the head of the combination, in roles most happily adapted to their eminent capabilities, are known and admired not only in New York, but throughout the country, as among the greatest of American dramatic artists in their impersonations of characters of inten- sity and emotional strength. The people supporting them have been carefully selected for their peculiar fitness for the roles they are called upon to sustain and rarely homo geneous and effective performance may conf dently be expected. As whole, in the morale of the piece, it's literary character and dramatic force and in the exceptional strength of the company producing it, to- nights performance of ''The Slave of Guilt' will, no doubt, commend itself to the highest intelligence and most cultivated taste of our community.

Sudden Death of . Waterbury Business

Wilbur F. Arnold, secretary and business manager of the City Lumber and Coal com- pany, Waterbury, died suddenly at 7 o'clock yesterday morning of hemorrhage of the lungs. He was about the previous evening, apparently in his usual health and spirits, at his office in Hills bakery and was seen as late as 10 o'clock in the evening, engaged in con- versation on business matters. About 4:3O o'clock yesterday morning he was aroused by gush of blood from his nose and mouth, which was so copious that he could not make his condition known for some time. He was alone, having taken his wife on Saturday to his old home at Winthrop, near Deep River, where she was to spend the summer It was not for half an hour that he was able to call assistance. Dr. Castle was hastily sum moned and succeeded in arresting the flow of blood, but at the end of an hour another severe attack occurred, when Dr. Rodman also was summoned, but the patients condi- ton was hopeless and he died within three hours from the time of the first hemorrhage. MT. Arnold's health has been delicate for some years.
