THE GREAT WHITE DIAMOND.
.THE GAMEKEEPER" "

s'The Gamekeeper'' furnished amuse- ment to q fair sized house last evening at Poli's. AS the name at once indi- cates, the play depicts a certain strata of life ill the Emerald Isle in which Smith 0'Brien. under the guise of Derry DOolan," a gamekeeper, fur nishes a good deal Of fun dancing an , singing for his neighbors and incl dentally the audience. Modern and sensational elements give the piece a color that is strange to the Ireland of years ago and which would cause any exile to gasp in wonder. The usual love stratagem furnishes the pivot for the play to revolve upon. Altogether '.The Gamekeeper'' is good play It is instructive. full of sweet music, gay dancing and Irish wit and is in the hands of competent artists.

~ARE YOU A BUFFALo?''

The new musical farce comedy. re You Buffalo?" comes to Poli's OH Friday evening. and those who attend will oct some idea Of how this famous question which has been agitating the American public for the past six months originated. While the fun of the piece is fast rqcy and hilarious. the musical numbers are many and pretty. Specialt'es by some of the cleverest farceurs in the business are sandwiched in between by such we'll known DeoDle as Ed M. Favor and Edith Sinclair. Harry Greuner. John Price. Swift and Huber. Connors and Lawson Sam T. Adams. Louise Satour. Josie French and George Scotty. The scenic environment is promised most elaborate particularly the second act

Canada,s Forests.

The Ottawa (Ont.) correspondent of the New York Tribune says: Cahada's s forests are found to be equal to sup plying the world with pulp wood alone for $40 years, on the basis of 100000 tons of manufactured pulp year. This is the estimate of J. c. Langelier, superintendent of the forest rangers of Quebec. It is given in a paper to the Canadian Forestry association, re- produced in the second annual report of the association just issued. MT. Langelier takes 1,500,ooo tons of pulp yearly as his basis. that being about the total production of the United States

This fool, Fortune, treats me ill., Thorns she gives to curse and kill; Couch of straw and hearth of dust, And for bread-a beggar's crust. Let her have her iron will; Fanny says she loves me still!

 Than gold doors where Love is not! Fortune shall not curse or kill; Fanny says she loves me still Atlanta Constitution.

.THE YoLUNTEER oRGANIsT."

Few plays have touched the popu- lar fancy more strongly than The Volunteer Organist,'' which is being presented at POli's this afternoon, and will be repeated this evening It has had an immense business everywhere because of its gresat popularity, and it has yet to receive q single untayora- ble criticism from the press. Scenical- Iy, it is one of the most realistic pro- ductions of the day, the church scene being one of the most natural and ex- penSive ever put on the stage. The play, when presented here last season, left an impression that still endures. and in the audiences to-day will un- dOuDtedly be found many of those who saw it on that occasion. It deserves a very large audience this evening. and it will be its first experience of the kind if it does not get it. Prices are 9, 8, 50, 75 cents and S1.
 VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 The audiences continue to be suffi- ciently large at the Jacques to encour- age MT POli in his purpose of giving the Waterbury public the same high class vaudeville that he has been pre- senting during the past ten years in New Haven. Evidently he has sue  ceeded. in the two shows he has thus far offered. in fulfilling all his prom ises; nothing could be better. This weeks bill is a remarkably strong one in the way of comedy; not an act on the bill except the acrobatic, which is a distinct novelty. but offers lots of comedy Indeed. comedy is the one feature that is prominent throughout the performance. and nobody can at tend without having plenty of induce ment to laugh. And then the wonderful vitagraph pictures of the Yale bi-cen- tennial and the COlumbia-S Shamrock yacht race astonish everyone with their extraordinary realism. and it is worth anyOne's while to see the Co., lHmbia heel to windward in rounding the stake. Altogether it is a show to please the ladies quite as much as the men. and on this account the matinees are crowded every day. Ladies are ad- mitted 10 the matinees for 10 cents in any part of the house: prices for others 10 and 20 cents. Evening prices for all 10 20 and 30 cents.

BILL m
FOR SCHOOLING
The Proceedings of the House
at it's Afternoon
Session 2 q
Session.

Legislative business became stalled
in the House yesterday afternoon while
Puuki expatiated on the merits of his
bill. 1t was House bill 8, relating to
attending school. Puuki took the floor
and for nearly three quarters of an
hour detained about children attend
ing school until they had reached their
majority. Puuki would make radical
changes in the present modes of edu-
cation as carried on in civilized nations
and if an opportunity presented i-seif
he would deny the right of children UP
to fifteen years of age to attend school,
on the ground that they can't learn
enough in that time but can learn a
whole lot afterwards and up to the time
they are twenty-one years of age.
Puuki said he had gone to school un-
til he was twenty-five years of age and
had a good deal to learn yet. Repre-
sentative Robertson asked when he be-
gan to attend school and was told by
Puuki that he was then eighteen. Much
of the AFTERNOON was wasted in useless
discussion over the merits and demer-
it's of Puuki's freak. bill and his more
than freakish arguments.
The bill is an act to amend section
1897. 1t does not go so far as Puuki's
argument had suggested. BY sections
1t reads
Section l. That section 1T of chap
ter 10 of the Civil Laws of 1897 be and
the same is hereby amended 4y adding
to said section the following words:
Provided, however, thatsthe parents.
guardians and others 1raving the re-
sponsibility and care Of children of such
ages may continue to send such chill
dren to either public or private school
until they have attained the full age
of twenty-one years from date of their
births" SO that the section shall read
as, follows:
.'Section III: The attendance of all chill
dren between 6 and Is years of age, both
inclusive, at either public or private
school is obligatory; provided, however,
that the parents, guardians and others
having the responsibility and care of
children of such ages, may continue to
send children TO either a public or private
school until they have ATTAINED THE
FULL AGE OF TWENTY-ONE YEARS
from date of their births. And it shall
be incumbent upon all parents, guardians
and others having the responsibility and
care of children of such ages, to send
them to some such school"
Puuiki took the floor and held 1t down
with vengeance When it became APP
parent that he would talk the House to
sleep, Beckley tried to interpose a mo-
ton to adjourn, uut Puuiki became more
and more aggressive and continued on
and on in his aimleSS argument almost
the entire afternoon.
House Bill 25 providing for judgments
by default in suits upon contracts before
District Magistrates, was laid aside.
House Bill "a, empowering District
Magistrates to take testimony, introduced
by Representative Dickey, had a sad
| fate. 1t was indefinitely postponed
which practically means its DEATH The
Judiciary Committee reported that it was
already covered in the law. -
| The sewerage bill was referred back to
the committee, in order to have a SEIZED
ule of rates attached to the sixth sec
ton.

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
A Paying Charity.


New Yorkss Provident Loan Society,
which was organized to protect unfor-
tunate persons against the abuses OF
pawnbrokers, shows in it's recent an
nual report that the charity has not
only yielded a dividend of per cent
to the philanthropists, but that after
Charging off certain expenditures for
vaults ETC., it has left an undivided
surplus of $50, rs for the year 1900.
This prosperous condition of affairs is
so encouraging that the trustees have
decided to open branch of the socie-

of a surety company for $4,000 and
the seventeen employees are bonded for
$120,000. These philanthropists did not
go into the pawnbroker charity because
it pays per cent dividends, but mere

The Hazee Kicked Back.

A student in the Maryland Medical
College was the other day deprived OF
his mustache because he was guilty of
being a freshman; the fact that he was
thirty-two years old and the father of
a family not having any weight in his
favor. He promptly had warrants
sworn out against the hazers, and the
court as promptly fined s25 the one
who had removed the offending mus
tache. In pronouncing the fine the JUS
tice remarked that the hazer had miss
ed his vocation and ought to have been
a barber. The student body is now
chuck full of resentment against the
hazed man for taking legal action and
against the justice for making impo-
lite remarks. The former is to be os-
tracized by, not only the upper class,
but his own class as we'll, and as for
the justice, condemnatory resolutions
are to be drawn up. against him.
