The IfaltiwiuH.

Professor and Mrs Baldwin appeare bet fore a crowded house at the Jacques las- night. They were assisted by strong company and presented and excellent variety entertainment in a most satisfac- tory manner. The work of the different artists satisfied Waterbury people that all the good things the press has said of Prof Baldwin's company is quite true and the audience stood sptl!bound at times. The singing of James Bell and Miss Delroy was pltasipg fea;u of the entertain ment But it remained fer Professor Baldwin to electrify the audience. His hands were bound to a chair and to con- vince the people of his power. tambourines were played, horns sounded and articles thrown in all dirt ctions and no one could | tell whence they came. The professor was securely bound all the while. yet the hustle and excitement exceeded anything | ever seen on the opera house stags. The | nt xt surprise came with a request from | the professor to a number of people in different parts of the hall to wrt son c | question on n slip of paper and save it un- tIl late in the eve-ing when what they had written would bs made known bv Mrs Baldwin. without seeing it While the writing was being done Miss Marion Con- stance enlivened the scene in gay skip ping rope dancing Senor Manuel dis
 
 mandolin and was encored. James Bell in colored comedy created considerable laughter and Miss Delroy danced and sang in a very clever manner. Then the Pro- lessor and his wife appeared before the footlights, the latter to answer the ques- tons written by people in the audience. Mrs Baldwin startled her hearers and es. pecially those who had written out ques tions by starting in to call of their name, and giving an answer to each question Of course the women had to ask something about the men. Mrs Charlotte Beadl, wanted to know where her husband Was last Wednesday night. She was informed that he spent the evening playing poo with friends in New Haven, lost S4 anC missed the train for home. Ell H. liar gan wrote down what We suppose wa , uppermost in her mind in the midst O
 the fun. She asked when she would b
 married. Mrs Baldwin called out her nam
 and said she would be marrled in 1896
 Several other people asked questions eacl , of whom declared that the answer was cor
 rect as far as could be known. A few O f the questions were: Who will be ou = next senator and who will be our mex 7 judge of probate. Mrs Baldwin said ' Daniel F. Webster and W. R. Mattiso . would be electei to these offices an ' Professor Baldwin said he would wager g . on the election of Mir Mattison, althoug o he did not know what the mans polite
 were. There was some fellow in the aud ence who had an eye to busi.ess an , thought this a good opportunity to secur . a bit of information which would be (
 much interest to the public He wante a to know what are the secrets and pas: . words of the A. P. A. She ssid she di . Hot like to answer that question. but thG = the name of the man who asked it was C
 s Mcclure. E. H. Gaylord was told thi a his dog was stolen twelve years ago an /, taken to Baltimore. Altogether it was . remarkable performance.
