THE DERWIN CONCERT.

J.-J. Derwin will give his second annual concert in Polis theater on Thursday evening, November 15. This promises to be the most notable event ; of the kind that has ever occurred in this state and everything now points to it being grand success as MT Der win has had applications from many outside cities for tickets. The prin- cipal artists will be Valentine Apt, the famous mandolinist. and Alfred \. Farland, the phenomenal banjoist. Both of these gentlemen rank at the very top as performers on their re- spective instruments, and the music lovers of Waterbury and vicinity may expect rare treat when they appear here on this occasion. They will be assisted by Miss 4. Agnes Chopour- ian. soprano, of Danbury; Miss Jane A. Clark, contralto: M. J. Sheehan. basso, Of New Britain; the Derwin mandolin. banjo and guitar orchestra, (folty performers. and the Derwin tho. Tie Boston Journal of May IS, 1S99 ontains the following about Mir Fiarland: -'
 Tt is q rare pleasure to hear Al fired A. Far'and play the banjo. He enjoys the diStin- ten of having creat- cd class and filling it alone. He has taken an instrument that has been associated with low class comedians and brought it up to tho level of the piano. the violin and the harp. Last evening Mir Farland gave q recital at Steinert hall. Every seat was taken by a Fashionable audience. Mr Far land gave fifteen selections. The ap- plause which greeted every number was conclusive proof. that he is 2. flaw sorite in Boston. He played Dusseks s Rondo la Matinee.' Peppers Elfen- tang. Rossini's overture to Italian in Z Algiers,' and Wieniawski's grand pol 5 onaise brilliant. wit. great effect. These pieces illustrated. perhaps, to the best advantage, his masterly con trol over the instrument Musicians say many effects he produces on this Instrument are produced on no other. 2 Just as Patti outrivals the ordinary | ssoprano Farland stands above all oth- ser banjo players in the world. There is nothing too difficult, for him to at tempt, and as he is T very young man the, world is yet 10 be surprised. With scomplete mastery of every tone and wonderful technique Mir Farland has a brilliant future"

Emma Hess, he has not vet put in an

speech made a red-hot Democrat out Of

Mark Hanna said there were no
trusts. but in 1896 they raised a cam
paign fund Of millions to perpetuate
themselves In power. Mckinley has not
been president since his election, but
Mark Hanna has been the chief execu-
tive"
over his chart Mr.. Dunbar has this
motto:
"McKinley-Hanna and the classes;
Bryan and the masses"
TRUSTS CONTROL EVERYTHING.
He called attention to the ponderous
trusts that had been organized, which
had monopolized every staple article
that entered into the home and living
Of the poor man. It included beef,
sugar, rubber, coal. biscuit. oat meal,
rice salt, flour, pork, etc, and he said
besides those enumerated there were
hundreds of others. He showed that n
billion and half Of dollars were repre-
sented by the trusts, and wound up
are we poor?"
On Mr.. Dunbar's chart was a quota
tion from Garfield, which he dilated on:
Labor operates the bakery, and mon
opoly takes the cake"
And this from Lincoln:
"A time is coming which alarms and
unnerves me, when all the wealth will
be in the hands of the few. have more
anxiety now for my country than dur
