THE THEATRE
Frrst Time at Harper's Theatre
or er Attractions.

on er Attractions.
The first performance of "a Fair
Rebel was presented at HsrpeI's theatre
last evening before we'll pleased audi
ence. As the title implies the drama re-
lates TO the civil war. the action taking
place in Southwestern Virginia just prior
to the close of the war, and while there
are many stirring and realistic scenes
the plot does not develop unreasonable
aud unnatural traits in the heroine, and
it is happily devoid OF blood and thunder
nonsence unhsppily so Characteristic of
military plays. In the course of the play
Libby prison is shown. but an attempt TO
picture its historical horrors is omitted
in good taste. Miss Fanny Gillette plays
the heroine, "Clairette Montieth." and as
the supporting company is carefully Sc
lected, the beautiful scenic effects, the
quaint costumes of the ladies, the singh q g
of the soldiers quartette. and the banjo
song make up powerful play.
Philsdelphia and Boston have always
been strong cities for J. G. Stewart In
the Fat Mems Club" but this year in
both he played to almost twice as much
money as any previous engagement, and
the weather was extremely warm in the
former city. This illustrates more plain
ly than anything could that the company
and play are great in every sense of the
word, and in fac. greater than at any
time in the history of its successful pop
ularity.
On Wednesday and Thursday eve
nings of this week Stewards famous

Only about one-half of the invited guests attended the banquet prepared by Drs Schultze and Dr Lancaster represented the physicians in town, H. c. Baldwin the law fraternity, Louis s.

A Democrat Who is Disgusted With the
 Rule or Ruin Policy.
 Editor of the DEMOCRAT
 Sir-For too long in Waterbury, men who have neither the confidence nor the respect of decent democrats; men who are not fitted by anything either inherited or acquired to represent intel ligent voters, have insisted with all the insolence of ignorant incompe- tency that they had right to "run de party" and "spend de stuff." Unfor- tunately they have been allowed to do both to an extent that has brought dis cord into the party and shame to every true democrat. Those parasites have become so numerous this year that there is not room for them all in the body polite, and they are going to feat each other." Now, MT Editor, for the love of heaven do not try to prevent them. You have waved the olive branch until there is not leaf left on it. You might as well try to stop dog | fight by shaking a scented nosegay. Leave them to fight among themselves in all their insignifcance. There are democrats enough in Waterbury tc win when good men are nominated What do you wish for more?
