Baker Opera Company.


 Waterbury audiences never seem to tire of ''The Beggar Student" For many years the Baker Opera company has opened it's annual week in Water bury with this opera of pretty airs and animated choruses. Last night every seat in the Jacques was filled and the old favorites were given an ovation. Handsome Joe Armand was in his best voice and did full justice to the difficult role of Simon. He was ably assisted by Arthur Wooley, while Wolff and Ram sey introduced some new business that made a decidedly good impression on the audience. Irene Murphy was as pert and pretty as ever, and Cora Bol- ton, another of the old guard, made striking countess. The principal new face was Miss Maud Dickeson, who gave graceful and effective personat1on of Laura. She has a sweet and power full voice and received much applause for her excellent rendition of an inter D )lated aria in the second act. The choruses were up to the high standard set by Manager Baker and altogether the performance gave excellent satis- faction. E. B. Arnold and Miss Josie Intropidi, the generals officers, contri- buted in no small degree to the success of the opera. The gem of the evening was the duet "Let Us Suppose" by Joe Armand and Miss Dickeson. Tonight Said Pasha" will be produced.

Sensation in the Hawley Trial

BRIDGEPORT, Oct 4.-There was a sensation in the Hawley trial to-day. Ida Mary Munson, the seven-year old daughter of the murdered woman, testi- fled that on the night of the murder Hawley was at the house and quarreled with her mother, and took the child up- stairs to bed. Later in the night Flaw Icy came into the room with a lamp and the child heard the voice of another person. This is considered important testimony, as Hawley has all along claimed that he was not at the Munson house on the night of the murder.
