MT and Mrs Clarence Brune and Melbourne Mcdowell will present Sardous great masterpiece, "Theo- dora," this evening at Polis. It is only two weeks since the play made an extraordinary success in Boston, the press critics of that city being out spoken in their praises of the produc- ton. Speaking of the play. the Post said: Tt is production that admits of-many spectacular effects outside those of costume and scenery, and il is perfectly safe to assert that never before has it been presented more elaborately in Boston. It's story, which has already been published ill detail, tells of the life of Theodora, the empress of Justinian, her love for An dreas, and her ultimate execution at the hands of her husband.' Speaking of Mrs Brune, who has not appeared in Waterbury before, the Post said she displayed clear intelligence. even at the moments when she could not fur nish the required strength to the read ing. She was most warmly commend ed for her work. and in the hippodromc races, when she rode to save her lovers life, she received a veritable oyation." The production will be given with all the magniticence of de tail that marked the Boston engage ment and should attract an immense house. Prices are 25. 50, I5c cents, Sl and S1.50.

GUS RUHLIN,

Considerable interest is being shown in the apearance of Gus Ruhlin to-mor- TOW evening at Polls. The sturdy young pugilist who put Tom Sharkey to sleep so handily last August has not appeared. in Waterbury before, and there is naturally much desire to see him. The fact, too, that he offers a more novel performance than most pugilists do, presenting, in addition to scientific boxing with his partner, an illustration of his favorite blows and his methods of training. adds to the interest felt in his appearance. Then, too, the moving pictures of his fight with FitZsimmons will be shown, con tributing an additional feature of in terest. That he will be greeted by a large audience on the occasion of his first appearance in Waterbury seems assured. Prices are 25, 35, 50 and 15 cents.

One or two men, faint-hcarted at the thought of the peril of Indian battle and hope full of influencing the judgment oftheir supcriors, began the mur1nur of ''big hunt buffalo drive,'' etc., glancing furtively at the colonel the while as though to observe the effect. But ,an imperative Silence, you idiots!" from the officer of the day put sudden end to their conjectures. Only Q moment did the commander listen. Then, quick and startling, came the order: "Sound to arms!' and within the minute the stirring peal of the cavalry trumpet was answered by the hoarse thunder of the snare drum, beating theS long roll. Out from their ''dog tentsp and half-fnished log huts came ths be-
 wIidered men. Often as the alaTln had soundnd on the frontier there twas a thrill and ring about it this time that told of action close at hand. Out from the little huts, hurryin. intoi their frock coats and belting on their swords as they glared about them for thk cause of the uprcar, came the otiicefs, old and young, most of them veteHans of many hard fought fields of tile war days-one or two, only, youhgsters fresh from the Point.

BRITISH SUFFER
n ANOTHER DEFEAT
CONTINUED From First Page.

. - J.
$780, ---------------
Cured though not Of Colonel P!umer's
seeking The Beers seem determined not
to give up their prey at Mafeklng With.
out fierce struggle
In reply to the mayor Of Cape Towns
request to make ''Mafeklng relief cay
public holiday, Premier Schreiner
wrote:
'.A1ay the holiday come soon, and may.
a spirit Of general good will and kindly
consideration prevail later.
The Times, in its second edition, pub
fishes a dispatch from lorenzo Marques
which quotes President Steyn as say
ing, at I<roonstadt that the Beers could
continue the struggle for six months lon-
ger.
While the Beers and British in the
Grange Free State are taking advantage
of the period of inactivity TO enjoy a
rest, those on the borders of Natal are
beginning to show activity. special
dispatch from Durham says the town of
Pomeroy, thirty miles east OF Lady
smith, has been burned by the Beers. A
British detachment arriving at Pomeroy
as the Beers evacuated the place, shelled
the burghers, but they succeeded In tax
ing up a strong position in the hills
with q force estimated to number tive
thousand men.
It has been learned that no new peace
overtures have been made to Lord Sails
bury, nor are they expected Sat pres
ent by Great Britain. The telegraphfc
correspondence has been confined to the
treatment of prisoners. Lord Salisbury,
as already cabled, is holding the prest-l
dents of South African republics re-
sponsible for the welfare of British
prisoners. The question Of the safety
Of Johannesburg and the gold mines
there has not been raised.
The correspondents exchanged between
Lord Salisbury and President Kruger
will shortly be given to Parliament
Replying in the House of Commons to-
day to "a series OF questions on the sub
ject Of General Lord NIethuen and his
alleged disagreements with the officers
OF his column. which have caused con-
siderable scandal, the Parliamentary
Secretary of the War Office, George
Wyndham, declared no charge had been
brought against General Methuen by
Colonel Cough or any other officer. Col
lonel Cough, he added, has been In
formed that an inquiry would be held
into this case. Colonel Cough IS alleged
to have been ordered home by General
Methuez. after declining to obey a COM
| dand- issued by the Latter, and the Col
onel demanded a trial by court7martial.
