There is more Catarrh in this Sec

few years IL was supposed to be incur-
able. Fora great many years Doc

constantly falling to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable

constitutional disease, and therefore

THE AMUSEMENT SEASON.

Tonight, with the appearance of Sol Smith Russell in "A Poor Relation" the amusement season for 19S9-9O opens. The high character of the opening attrac- tion is an indication of the homogeneous intention to make the season attractive to its patrons and profitable to itself. Waterbury is fast taking rank as one of the most desirable places on the New England circuit for travelling combina- tions. Our people are appreciative, quick to discern the good or bad qualities of a play, and altogether are exceedingly liberal in their patronage of the better class of dramatic attractions. And they are becoming more so with each passing year; they are taking advantage of the opportunities afforded them. Until a few years since this city had no conven- tent or we'll arranged opera house, and it was not easy to secure standard attrac- tions to visit the city. The town was Sort of side track for second class com panies and pieces, and the better attrac- tions avoided it with care that did credit l to their good sense and discrimination. Now, however, all this is changed. Manager Jacques saw the need of the city in the matter of comfortable, cosy and convenient opera house; he recog-
 nized the fact that the people were ready ! to welcome superior class of amuse- ments, and he at once set himself to supply ! them. The result has been gratifying to himself and encouraging to those who find small enjoyment in any theatrical attraction that is not of the highest
 merit. There is no town ill the New England circuit that has had better class of attractions for the past three years than Waterbury, and as Manager Jacques has always had Excelsior for
 his motto the people may rest assured
 that there will be no retrogression. In fact, MT Jacques managerial ability like 1 wine improves with age. As he grows
 in experience and knowledge of the
 tastes and preferences of the people he keeps step with their wants in the ap-
 propriate character of the attractions he
 presents. He could certainly have made
 no happier selection to provide the open ing entertainment than the sterling com fedian who will initiate the season to-
 might. The good judgment of MT
 Jacques ought certainly to be appreciated by the amusement-loving people ot
 Waterbury.
 We hope there will be large attend
 lance on this the opening night of the
 season, and that it will encourage Man
 ager Jacques to continue the high stand
 ard he has set for his cosy and hand,
 some opera house. Appreciation of his
 efforts will be the best encouragement for greater ones.

has had many gins to answer for, just as the republican leagues in the metropolis and elsewhere have had, but it will re- fleet nothing but credit on the organlza- tion that it has had the courage to take prompt action against Sheriff Flack. MT Croker's action in immediately purg- ing Tammany hall of all connection with Flack and his associates was ample vim dication of his real ability as a prudent and honest leader, and the praise that he has won even from his most hostile critics must be singularly grateful to
 him and to his associates in the govern
 ment of the new and reformed Tammany,
 But political punishment ought not to
 regarded sufficient for the offending Flack and his fellow conspirators. The honor and good name of the city is tarnished and prompt official action ought to be taken. The rascals should
 be turned out promptly and with vigor Not only should they be turned out o1 office, but, on proper conviction before the ordinary tribunals, they should be immediately turned into jail. This l:
 the only course if popular self-govern ment is to endure and respect for the law and its courts to be maintained.
 Flack and every public official con nected with the conspiracy ought to ge
 the grand bounce without delay.

A DANGEROUS JESTER.

Our New Haven exchanges are telling of young man who went out riding last Sunday and while passing a country barn jestingly remarked to a young lady riding with him, Watch me burn this barn. He then lighted handbill which partly adhered to the barn and away blazed the building, entailing a loss of S4OO to it's owner. The young man who found Sunday recreation in thus playing with fire was one Frederick T. Riley.
 It is possible, indeed it is highly proba- blo that Mir Riley had no intention of firing the barn when he playfully ap- piled his lighted handbill. It is more likely that he had the idea of playfully frightening his lady companion and that he had little thought that so small a spark would kindle so great a fire, Nevertheless, we think that MT Riley is one of those dangerous testers who should be put where they cannot make sport at so great an expense to other peo- pie. He is just as truly guilty of arson as if he had set out with the deliberate intention of burning the barn and had used the handbill as the most effective means of fulfilling his purpose. And men who have so small an appreciation of the value of other peoples property should be made to feel that there are laws to protect the public from their vandalism.
 Mir Riley should be put where lte will have no further opportunity of burning country barns for the amusement of him. self and his lady friends.

GIVE THEM THE BOUNCE.

It is not the city of New York only that has been profoundly moved by the shameful and scandalous revelations of the Flack case; the whole country has been shocked. The demand that has gone up in many quarters for uniform national marriage and divorce laws is an indication how deeply the heart of the people has been touched by the villainy of the whole band of conspirators in the case.
 Tine idea that the public official who is primarily responsible for the good order of the great community of New York city should enter into a vile con- spiracy to debauch one of the principal courts to the vilest of immortality is so monstrous that the details of the plot as laid bare ill the subsequent investigations are almost incredible.

RED-HEADS ARE RISKY.

Insurance Men Said to Boycott Peopl> with Scarlet Toplknots. "I should like to insure my life, but
 would be considered q bad risk. doubt if any of the first-class companies would ac- cept me.''
 These, says the Philadelphia Record, were the words of a big, freckle- faced, red haired individual whose usually merry countenance and abundant avoirdupois made him the very picture of health. ''What ill the world should make you a bad risk!' chorused the group of bystand-
 CTS.
 The first speaker blushed till his cheeks
 were as fiery red as his matted locks, and then answered softly: My scarlet topknot is my bane. It is quite bad enough to in vite the sobriquets 'bricktop,' 'pinky,' and the like, but whe4 the insurance companies take hand in the persecution it is enough to make a strong man wcep.'' The aggrieved individual resembled con- sumptivc as little as possible, but his sup positions tendency to pulmonary affections was the only ground for the insurance mems boycott. The medical examiner of a leading life insurance company, who was questioned as to the alleged disparagement of red heads, said it was largely imaginary and exaggerated. "It Is fact, however, D he continued, ''that red-headed persons
 have generally very thin skins, and are as rulo of a delicate constitution. A pale,
 thin face and a covering, consumptive form arc often allied to a reddish complex
 ion. Light hair, and especially red hair, often seems to betoken scrofulous disor- ders, and its presence may prejudice super
 fcial examiners against tho subject. It is a fact that red-headed persons who show not tho smallest trace of pulmonary trouble will sometimes develop consumption in an almost incredible timo"

The proposition to hold the worlds fair in Central park is not one which will commend itself generally to the people of the country. This beautiful resort has been so long a thing of joy to visitors to the metropolis that its de struction would be 10 many like the loss of an old friend. There are other spots in and about New York that are availa- ble for the purposes of the fair without going to the unjustifiable vandalism of wiping out this lovely spot. It will be a disgrace to the people of New York ii they allow tho worlds fair buildings tc take the place of the beautiful trees and walks and lawns of Central park. Put the worlds fair elsewhere.
