Everyone knows little Dan Ryan, the
clever aerial acrobat of Waterbury. He Is
now home on a visit to his mother, who
resides on Franklin street. Dan started
out in 1886 and since that time he has
steadily advanced, until to-day he ranks
among the champion acrobats of the world.
He has been all over the world, although a
young man, and can relate some peculiar
experiences. His last engagement was in
New Orleans, where he was performing in
Sells Brothers circus. The western and
southern papers gave him hattering no.
tees. One funny feature which he has
inaugurated, and which has proven a de-
cided success, is what he calls the kodak
scheme He stands outside of the ring

Tosedly full hedged photograph machine.
He observes n couple approaching and
stepping up to them asks them to stop and
he will take their photo free of charge. He
places them in such position that they
can not see him, and then walks of,
while the crowds on the seats who are on
to the game guy the poor victims. Dan
will remain here until after the holidays,
when he will so to Columbus, Ohio. and
practice during the winter with his part

said to Have Been Violated In This state
by Manufacturers.
Several inspectors from the immigration
bureau have been making tour of the
manufacturing towns of this state They
have visited several factories where it has
been suspected that experienced workmen
were brought over here under contract, and
have secured sufficient evidence to prose
cute several of the manufacturing concerns
for violating the contract labor law.
In most of the factories boys who were
imported from other countries were found
ut work, and the inspectors being satisfied
that the contract labor law is being VIC
lated to a great extent in this state have re-
ported to the immigration bureau.
1t is probable that prosecution of those
against whom evidence have been secured
will soon follow. The inspectors refuse to
name any of the concerns where the law is
being violated, but it is understood that
that the law was most openly disregarded
in the stone quarries in the state.
