"WHEN WE WERE TWENTY ONE"

William Morris and his brilliant band of players will hold the stage at Polls tomorrow (Thanksgiving) after
 noon and evening. with Henry Y. Els mondes beautiful love comedy, When We Were Twenty-one.' When it is said that this is far and away the best play presented in Waterbury on a Thanks giving day it is stating a simple fact
 Indeed, it is doubtful if any, prettier or more attractive comedy has ever been shown on the local stage, and the same praise is extended to the act ing. MT Morris brings out all the fine points of the comedy quite as well as Nat Goodwin. who is playing the same role in the large cities, and the other characters are assumed with a natur
 alness and finish that are the perfec- tion of acting. The play has been pre-
 sented here twice already this season. on both occasions winning unstinted praise from press and public. That it will draw large audiences to Polls to-
 morrow afternoon and evening seems assured, for it offers the best entertain
 ment evers provided in Waterbury on a Thanksgiving day. Prices are p, 8. 30, 75 cents and S1. Orders for seats will not be saved after 6 o'clock.

ABSENT MINDED CONDUCTOR.
Collected -Four Fares from One Passen-
ger-No Objections Raised.

There is one street car conductor

He collected four fares from the
same individual on trip from City

ago and rang up every one Of them.
The individual who paid the fares
seemed equally absent-minded, or,
rather, his mind seemed stepped in
spirits.
When he got on the open car at the
bridge be sought one of the rear
seats, and as he anchored himself in
the corner he fshed a fve-eent piece
out of his pocket and handed it to the
conductor. Then he began to read a

WILL THEY NEVER LEARN

The Seventh Congressional Dis
trict is all astir again, this time be-
cause the Central Committee
thought it wise, in order to re-
store peace between Democrats,
to order primary, and this they
have done. Mr.. Moody, the NOM
inee according to the first conven.
ton ordered by the same body,
by this act, according to opinion
of Committee, has no claim to the
nomination and the result from
what they first ordered is nulliied.
We always abide the actions OF the
powers, but most certainly that
district is getting more entangled
with each succeeding move.
There is now but one way out Of
il. Mr.. Moody and Mr. Trimble
can come to the front and in the
interest Of Democracy withdraw
from the race in favor Of Col. AL
len, of Lexington, or sorne other
good man and all would be well.
The present circumstances place
self and party before the candidate
and they can immortalize them
selves by giving the track to
another.

A VIEW OF CHINA.

The II Ho Chilean" or Bright
eous Harmony Fist Society" has
for years stirred up a regular hor-
nets nest in China. This society
which we call the Boxers is an
old secret society organized two
hundred and fifty years ago, of
plotters against the Manchu dy-
nasty, which has ruled China du-
ring this time. Though their
plots have never been successful
against the Manchus, yet they
have had continued existence
under different names such as
"The White Lotus Society" and
1.-The Great Knife and Sword So
ciety," which last perhaps most
accurately describes them. Re-
Gently their hatred has been turned
from the Manchurians to foreign
ers. 1t is said the slumbering So
ciety was awakened to life by
Roman Catholic aggressiveness in
China. There are a great many
Catholics in China, and as is char
acteristic of them, they will dab
BILE in civil affairs. 1t is a historic
fact that the Jesuits have at one
time or another been banished
from every nation on earth except
the United States. Recently
through pressure from the French,
special privileges have been &C.
corded Roman Catholic subjects.
This is exceedingly humiliating
and disgracefnl to the Chinaman.
The Roman Priests under pressure
again from France have been Civ
en- rank and have acquired i'm
mense influence. SO much have
they achieved in this line that a
native convert in trouble with
his neighbor, subjected to a law
suit or arrest, applies Immediately
to his priest, who responds by
sending his card to the local mag
istrate. This acts like magic, the
convert is released or wins his
point. Doesn' t take the canny Chi
naman long to see this material
advantage wherein he may get
ahead of his neighbor. So the
Chinese have been hocking to the
Catholics. The "Boxers" wake
to life to resist the encroachments
Of Romanism. Under the en-
enlargement of the Dowager En-
press their hatred has been direct
ed against all foreigners. This
indiscriminate slaughter of for
eigners has called down upon
China the allied powers of the
world. Our government is be-
coming mixed up in the affair
So far only creditably, but with
the imperialistic tendencies Of the
Mckinley administration there's
no telling what we will do next.
y seems 10 iilis scribe that our
duty is clear to get our citizens
cut of the country and exact in
demnity for any loss Of life or
property, and then keep hands
off. 1t would never do for this
country to be party 70 COMPEL
