Keppler's Fortunes"


 Gus Williams is one of the greatest American dialect comedians, and Tn his play, ''Kepp!er's Fortunes" he has a great chance to show his peculiar talents. It will be presented at the opera house Friday night.
 "Pearl of Pekin.''
 It is easy to understand why this opera has met with such great success wherever it has been presented. It is simply irresistlbly jolly, and has the dash and sparkle of effervescent wine. The musical director has added several charming airs to Lecocq's original score, and the music, under his efficient baton, is produced with "snap," har- mony and correctness truly refreshing. That Ed Chapman is funny is putting of other things, Che goes: he perme. ates." It will be presented at the opera house Wednesday evening.
 ''The StOwAway."
 ''The Stowaway" will be produced al the opera house to morrow night. Il comes with the prestige of being one oi the most successful melodramas of the decade. It will be staged and acted here exactly as it was presented during its recent triumphant engagement al | the Grand opera house, New York Among the scenic novelties with which the play teens is the ''yacht set," full rigged and ''natural as life." A sensa tional bit of realism is the introduction of brace of genuine cracksmen, who in the second act, burglarize a house and then ''blow" a reputed burglar proof safe in full view of the audience It is the most daring innovation in thu history of the stage, but the perform ance of these two former resident o Sing Sing has made decisive hit, anC that, in the managerial philosophy o the day, is an all-sufficient reason fo the retention of the ultra-realistic in l cidPDt

Sheep Killed by Dogs.

ROCKVILLE, Jan 1.-The farmers of eastern Connecticut who have for some years been endeavoring 10 engage in sheep culture, are about discouraged by the large number of sheep that are killed by dogs. The farmers of this section are confident that they could find profit in raising mutton and wool if it was not for the dogs. The loss of Lucian Bass of Scotland, "a few days ago, is an example of what the farmers have to contend with. Two dogs entered one of his sheep pens and killed twenty out of the twenty-two in the pen and ten more were bitten in another pen. MT Bass was awakened by the noise. The dead sheep lay in every direction about the barn and door yard. One dog was killed on the spot and the other was found later and dispatched. The dogs belonged in the town of Windham and that town will be asked to pay damages.

THE JANUARY SKIES.

Interesting Notes on the Celestial
 Panorama.
 Only two of the planets figure in the role of evening stars during the month, but these are the most brilliant orbs of the system-Nenus and Jupiter. On the years record there are four eclipses, two of the sun and two of the moon, the same as in 1891. They occur in this order A total eclipse of the sun on April 26; a partial eclipse of the moon on May II; partial eclipse of the sun on October 20; total eclipse of the moon on November f. All except the first will be visible in some phase to some part of the United States. All the planets will make their appearance as usual in the evening some time in the year, and the number of OnjunctiOns between the planets and the moon will not vary much from those of years in the recent past.
 The days all over the earth north of the equator have now passed their shortest stage and ate increasing, but the difference yet is not great enough to be discerned by the average person. Two or three weeks hence, however, the change will begin to be noticeable, and by the end of January 1t will be marked enough to produce a readily appreciable elOngation of the daylight period. From this time onward to June 21 the sun will rise and set farther and farther to the north as the days pass, while it's path across the Armament and the duration of it's visibility will steadily increase. The earth now is 3,OOO,0OO miles nearer the sun than it was six months ago.

PAY YOUR TAXES, GENTLEMEN.
The Tax Committee Has a Word to Say
 About the Criticisms Made.

The Tax Committee Has a Word to Say
 About the Criticisms Made. To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 The claims of error in the work of the tax committee seem to be about in, and, with your permission, I will take them up in detail, reserving for some fu ture time a discussion of others criti- cisms of the work.
 The claims of Messrs Alcott, Bown, Deyine, Miller, Pollaks two houses) and Miss Croft can be taken up together. when they say they acquired the prop erty since October 1890, and that they were not liable for taxes oHtthat list. It was never intended to make this a list of "tax lodging" persons exclusively, although the greater majority on it are so. The list was made up from a list compiled entirely for office use, and property was entered in it whether pur- chased since October, 1890, or not. When it was decided to publish this list all property acquired since October. 1890, was supposed to be crossed off from it. In the hurry of closing the work it undoubtedly was not done as thoroughly as it should have been and the names mentioned above and few others were inadvertently left on. This cannot be charged, however, as an error against the work, for if anyone will take the trouble to refer to the books, ! they will find them in each case correct. To E. c. Lewis an apology is due and rendered. He undoubtedly listed the property charged against him. It is one of those clerical mistakes that occur 1T spite of the utmost precaution. In the cases of MT Abbott, I cannot question his word, that the propertie: were listed honestly. If, however, he had used the same formula as his neighbors, who owned "garder patches" fronting on another street, hi lists would have been in such a shapt that no one could have even accused him of not listing property.
 l A re-examination of the lists of Messr Walker, Guilfoile and Greenberg, doe not bear out their statement, howeve honest may have been their intentions.
 The lot of Phillip Pollak on Earn street is triangular strip of land witt five feet front on the street, and 40 fee deep, lying between the properties of Chase and Mrs Morton. I do not thinl
 that he will deny owning it in 1890.
 1 am sorry for the error in Mir Feldt'
 case. If MT Kirshbaum fad listed tn
 lot it would not have occurred.
 Notwithstanding MT Wheeler of Grey
 stones letter, he does own lot, 60x22
 feet on North High street, Watervllle
 It was bought from Mrs Welton and sh
 is willing tn buy it back at the pric
 pald for it.
 It is possible that MT Risdon paid hi taxes as he claims. but his name is nc
 on the tax lists. |. The appearance of Mir CoughIin name is not his fault. It is caused by clerical error of the assessors. These are the criticisms that have S
 far come to my knowledge. If anyon , else considers himself unjustly used
 shall be glad to correct it, if we are i the wrong.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

A curious and very sad case is that of the little daughter of Officer Steele of Hartford, whose right leg was ampu- tated just below the knee on Friday. The little one is only twelve years old and has been ill with the typhoid fever. The fever seemed to settle in her leg, and so benumbed and paralyzed that member as to stop all circulation. The arteries ceased to perform their func- tions, and the limb below the knee was practically dead. Modification soon set in. A council of physicians was called and it was decided that in order to save her life amputation would be necessary. The operation was successfully per. formed. ~.
