VAUDEVILLE AT rHB JACQUES.

Mr Polls third big vaudeville com pnny at the Jacques is making it's bow this afternoon before an audience that fairly fills the theater, and is winning golden opinions for it's performance
 To judge from the names of the prin- cipaI acts and from the placid smile Of satisfaction t1fat rests on Mir Polls face as he watches the performances, it is a company to make a most ex- <raordinary success. Indeed, as Mir
Waterbury Democrat., 1901-11-18

Poli remarked after one of the acts, if this performance doesn't please the Waterbury public, it wohld be difficult to say just what they would be dis posed to pronounce acceptable. Head ing the bill, and sharing the laughter without monopolizing it, is the cute comedietta. "One Christmas Evening", as presented by Hal Davis and Miss Zelie Davenport. This act has been the headline feature at Keith's Phil adelphia theater the past two weeks, coming here direct from that engage ment which closed on Saturday even ing. And surely no less laugh-creat- ing is the acrobatic comedy introduced by MazauZ and MaZet in their well known brakeman and tramp speciality, and Mitchell and Marren, the minstrel boys, share the laughter and applause. Other fine acts are introduced by MT and Mrs Harry Thorne, who present their sketch, "In An Uptown Flat;' Fitzgibbon, Mccoy and Fitzgibbon, the eccentric trio; Miss Lillian NJ. Tyce and the Baileys. There are some very fine vitograph pictures shown also as an additional feature, the his torical views of Joan of Arc being pos itively attractive. To all this great combination of high class vaudeville features the prices of admission are but 10, 20 and 30 cents; matinees, 10 and 20 cents. with ladies admitted to all parts of the house at these for 10 cents.

MooRIsH PRISON SYSTEM.
to Correct a PitiabIe and Brutal State of Affairs.

A dispatch to the London Times from Tangier, dealing with the announce ment that the sultan intends to re- form the Moorish prison system, says anything more pitiable than the pres- ent state of the prisons it is impos- sible to imagine. Any Moroccan sub- ject is liable to be seized and incarcer- ated at any moment, often without the pretense of trial. The rumor that he has saved few dollars is sufficient excuse for his Imprisonment.
 The state of affairs in the prisons in the cities is bad, says the Times cor respondent. That of the prisons in the country baf1es description. Many of them consist of small, high-walled yards, with no shade, no shelter, no water supply, and no sanitation.
 To add to the horror, the prisoners are chained by their necks to long, heavy iron chain, some times as many as 50 to one chain, without yard be- tween each. Heavy shackles are also riveted to their legs. The conditions in the subterranean dungeons are even more awful.
 The sultan intends to change all this. He will overhaul the prisons, sending g inspectors to report upon tlieir condi- tion. The prisoners are to have suf- ficient rations, supplied to them by the local officials.

SEEKS LONG MISSING MOTHER.
Rich Manufactures of Leadvil1e, Col, Starts Search at the old Home
 at Kenosha, Wis.

. -
 Earl c. Brown, a prominent manu- tacturer of Leadville, Col, is in Kenosha, Wis, on a strange mission, and one which has brought to light 3 peculiar story of other days in Kenosha. Brown is at Kenosha for the purpose of making an effort to lind some trace of his mother, Mrs. Jarces Brown, who disappeared from Kenosha under mysterious circum- stances more than 28 years ago.
 All the facts in connection with the story cannot be discovered. sThe widow Brown," as the mother of the Leadville man was known in Keno- sha, had resided on Ashland avenue for many years. One day it was no- ticed that the blinds in the little cot tage were closed, and as the days went by people began to wonder as to the cause. Finally, on going to the house, they discovered it was empty. The widow Brown was not to be found anywhere. Her best dresses were folded neatly on the bed, and everything was neat and clean, but nothing had been left to show where or in what manner the widow had left her home.
 There seems to be reason to believe that Mrs. Brown met with foul play somewhere, and it is possible that she was murdered in her home and her body secreted; but the little house remained closed for so many weeks before strange hands took control that a criminal would have had plenty of time to cover his crime. Many of the earlier inhab- itants of the city recall the disap- pearance of Mrs. Brown, but none of them are able to throw any light on the question:

Flowing of Metals.

It is, perhaps, not generally known that one of the most important prop critics of metals employed in striking coins and medals, and stamping and shaping articles of jewelry, is that of flowing under pressure. Standard sil- yer is remarkable for this property which precisely resembles the flowing of a viscous fluid. The flow takes place when the metal is subjected to rolling, stamping or hammering, and the par ticles of the metal are thus carried into the sunken parts of the die with out fracturing, and perfect impress sion is produced.

MoNGoosE AND sNAKEBITE.
Blood of the Animal Contains an An- titoxin Which Is Destructive
 to the Poison.

There is probably no casualty more appalling thanssnakebite, by reason of the usually fatal result which follows the injury when the snake is of high ly venomous species, says the Lonron Chronicle. Even minute quantity of the virus injected into the blood will prove death dealing within very short period of time. Remedies for snakebite have hitherto been limited to attempts made to prevent the spread of the poison through the sys- tenn and to the fortifying of the pa- tient against collapse. But till within very recent times nothing in the way of antidote or specific cure for snake bite was known. True, there have been "snalse stones"-still used in the east which have beer -aunted as specifies, but from an exam nation of specimens one finds them to be either pieces of ordinary mineral or bits of bone or pieces of plant roots. It is fairly safe to say that if any case of snakebite is said to be cured by the application of "snake stone" the bite was not that of poisonous species. Also it has been said that the immunity of the mon goose, the renowned snake killer, was due to the animal eating some herb or other which counterbalanced the ef- feet of the bite. Nobody, however, has ever been able to discover this herb, and 1t happens that much more sci entlfic explanation of the power of the mongoose to resist the virus of the ser pent is forthcoming. That explanation rests on the fact that the blood of the animal contains principle Cor santi- toxin," as it may be named) which is destructive to the poison of the snake or which, at any rate, renders the body of the mongoose resistant to the action of the venom.

He avoids the hysterical and the gla- mOur of crime. and works out faith fully the destiny of his hero and hero inc in a way legitimate enough to be claSsed with the very best efforts of Cecil Raleigh and Frank Harvey, only that MT Fessler is cleaner. There are no murders. no women with an un- clean past, nothing suggestive of im-
 morality The play was built with no ignoble end in view and contains not the taint of sensuality which so often proves so successful in the ad- Yertising of mediocre plays. There is in it love and modesty, crime of the kind that is daily brought to light in our police courts, comedy and humor of the uncommon and inoffensive kind, and acting by a company of capable players. Prices are p, 35 and 50 cents. and for the matinee tomorrow a special bargain rate has been fixed of 25 cents to all parts of the house.

Monstrosities Peculiar to America.

London. Glasgow, Manchester and many other British cities regulate transparencies, electric-fash signs, sky signs and the size of letters per missible in posters. Dover, England, requires a license for all street signs not contained within a window. France and Belgium tax street signs, and Belgium awards prizes for artistic signs. It is only in America, it seems, that we permit ourselves to be at- tackled on every hand by bilboards and posters, says the Des Moines Leader, presumably out of sheer love for the ugliness of them.

DERwIN CONCERT.

Mir Derwin, the leader of the Derwin. mandolin orchestra, has prepared one of the best programs yet arranged for the orchestra. Under his leadership they have been rehearsing for the past week for their concert Thanksgiving evening, November 2S. II is their third concert, and the criticism they have received from those that have heard the numbers to be rendered are loud in their praise of the playing of the or- chestra. Without doubt the orchestra will surpass their past efforts. for any one that has charge of amateurs and drilled them for performance after per formance can say that at each appear ance the work has steadily improved. No one can. attest to this better than Mir Derwin, for the efforts. interest anl interpretation of the numbers have never been excelled. To make their concert decided musical treat and to the variety of same they have engaged H. l.. Maercklein of Hartford as the vocal soloist. In so doing they have sought to bring before the musical pub lie Of Waterbury new talent and those that have received the highest approval of their work in our city. MT Afaerck- lien has the sincere criticism and aD- proval of all his Hartford audiences, also every other audience that he has appeared before. The Vicopia trio have appeared before at all the Der win concerts and they will greatly add to the interest of the evening. The Ensemble orchestra. new organiza- tion. has been highly spoken of by all that have heard them. A decided and pleasant musical treat is in store for all those that attend the Derwin concert Thanksgiving evening. November 28. Tickets have been placed at MT Der wins studio in Odd Fellows building for the convenience of the public; they are also in charge ard for sale by mem- bers of the orchestra.

hundred dollars has been raised,
in amounts ranging from one to

view of the fact there are a num-
ber who viii yet make donations
men who were out of town when
the canvass was made, and others
whom they thought would make
donations when the opportunity
was given This is a good start.
There are also some who prom
ised to donate later. They now
