The first test of the enforcement
of the rules of the new street railway
company occurred Sunday, when traf-
fic was heavy and Otto Peterson took
Il position on the front platform of a
car on the Moline terminus of the
road. The car was filled with passen-
gers, and Peterson when ordered in
side or off the car by Supt. Maple
doram, refused to bulge. Finally,
Mapledoram took hold of the young
man for the purpose of ejecting him,
but Peterson put up stiff fight, and
in the scuffie one of the windows
was broken. Later Mr.. Mapledoram
went for the police and while he was
gone the motorman and his assistant
succeeded in forcing Peterson from
the car. When the police arrived
the offender was pointed out to the
officer, and yesterday he was charged
with disorderly conduct and tried be.

Everyone who has witnessed the production of that pretty play, ''The EaflSh PrleSt,' must remember the author, Daniel Hart, and it was natural 10 expect that when this young play writer produced another dramatic ven- lure the same success would attend it that has followed the play in which Dan Sully is scoring. The new pro duction is called .'Pennsylvania," and the story is written around the mines ln that state. The play is well put to- gether and the scenic arrangements are realistic and sometimes startling. This Is particularly true of the mine scene where an explosion takes place. The story has it's love plot. it's hero ana It's villain. In fact, it does not dlIer very much from other scenic productions unless in a little variance Ill conception. Undoubtedly it will prove successful when it has received further pruning and when one or two changes are made in the cast of char atcers. Frank Harrington is billed IS the star, but he does not fill the bill with success. The other characters were we'll enacted. particularly so Jos, eph R. Keller as James Reid, Tony Murphy as Hugh Dougherty. w. E. Gatfney as Henry Stroh, Dolly Cline as Nancy Davis. Cecilia AIesbery as Es. tella Duquenesne. William H. Wood side as Samuel w. Potts. William Mar ble as Charles Broadhead and Joseph inc Fox as Nellie Reid The play will be repeated tonight and matinee t1- morrow. It should attract good audi, ences.

FRIENDS OF CUBA WIN
Vote In Republican Caucus
 Stood S5 to 31.
WAYS AND MEANS PLAN ADOPTED.
Reciprocity With the Island Limit ed to December, 19O3-Proposi- ton of the Beet Sugar Men De-
 feated by a Vote of 57 to 79.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The first the Cuban sugar question came last night on a motion by Chairman Payne of the ways and means committee that the previous question be ordered and a vote taken on the propositions before the caucus. The motion was carried TS to 56. A vote then followed on the proposition of the beet sugar men that rebate be given Cuba on articles i'm ported from that island, and it was de- feated-57 to 79. A vote followed later on the ways and means 20 per cent reciprocity proposition.
 The ways and means proposition for reciprocity with Cuba to the extent of 20 per cent reduction of duties, mod flied by the Sibley amendment limiting the lifetime of the reduced rates to De cember, 1903, was adopted by the Re publican conference by vote of S5 to 31.
 The Republican members of the house of representatives met in gener- al confere lce to consider the Cuban tariff question, this being the fifth gathering held for the purpose of seek ing to reconcile the differences existing on this subject. About 40 members were in attendance, including Speaker Henderson, Chairman Payne of the. ways and means committee and others who have figured prominently in the contest
 It is a victory for the president, al- though the scheme now adopted by the Republicans of the house is far from what he originally had in mind. He, however. adopted the Payne-Sibley plan, and the administration leaders in the house have been pushing it as Roosevelt measure.
 The beet sugar men carried out their promise of fighting to the last. There were conferences all day long, but in every case the beet sugar men held out for their plan, although they knew they were beaten. They fought for either the Dick or the Morris scheme, and they carried this fight into last nights conference.
 The major part of the time was con- sumed in useless talk-useless because the result was already assured Mir. 41ttlGu6Iu OIs MdluG uldu0 lllG pElucIpdl argument for the insurgents" and aft CT many others had spoken Mr. Payne closed the case for the administration in a speech which was strong and inn passioned. After this MT. Weeks made final argument, but it was short, and the vote was then taken-frst on the Dick plan, then on the Morris scheme and finally on the Payne plan, after MT. Payne had accepted the Sibley amendment.
 The bill will now be pressed and passed and will then go to the senate. In spite of the recent indications of senatorial defection there is practical ly no doubt, as things stand now, that the upper house will agree to it, prob ably with amendments, which the house will accept. Senator Burrows is regarded as the leader of the senate insurgents" but when it comes to vote it is to be doubted whether even he will venture to oppose the amended bill

tion. A few weeks ago in the private executive chamber of the white house, the president jovially slapped Mir. Parry on the back and said: Parry, how would you like to go on the na- tiona1 ticket with me in 19o4?"
 Mir. Parry was much surprised and evidently pleased. but only replied: ssMr. President, I am only here to in- vite you to attend the national con- yention of American Manufacturers which meets at Indianapolis in May"
 The president expressed regret. but said he could not see his way clear to accept the invitation then, but since MT. Parry's return it has been learned that the president very probably will. be there, especially so because he has expressed interest in the dedication of the soldiers monument, probably the most imposing and costly of the Kind in the world. It cost almost $1,000,000 and will be dedicated in May when the manufacturers meet.
 The Parry establishment is the larg- est plant of the kind in the world, em- p1oying over 2,Oo0 persons.
 The Parry movement has been in progress TOT several ulOnUnS. It D6- gan with Senator Beveridge, in con, junction with several eastern repub-i lican politicians. Beveridge may not have originated the scheme, but he was prompt to see it's possibilities.
 Politicians of New York and Penn sylvania who have the Roosevelt in- terests in charge have been in Indian apolis recently to confer with MT. Par ry concerning the scheme. What the result of the conference was is not known, but the movement continues. Parry organized Business Mems Bev- eridge club during the legislative ses- sion of 1897, which resulted in Bever- idge's senatorial election. Mr. Parry was asked about the vice presidential movement in his favor and replied:
 sI intended that nothing be said about that matter now. I am sur prised that it is known. I have had nothing to do with it."

WHY THE INDIAN FAILS.

There are in operation at the pres ent time 113 boarding schools, with an average attendance of something over 10000 pupils ranging from , to 21 years old. These pupils are gath cred from the cabin, the wick-i-up, and the tepee. Partly by cajolery and partly by threats, partly by brib- cry and partly by fraud, partly by persuasion and partly by force, they are induced to leave their kindred to enter these schools and take upon themselves the outward semblance of civilized life. They are chosen not on account of any particular merit of their own, not by reason of mental fitness, but solely because they have Indian blood i'll their veins. Without any previous training, without any preparation whatever, they are trans ported to the schools, sometimes thousands of miles away, with no ex- pense to themselves or their people The Indian youth finds himself at once. as if by magic, translated from q state of poverty to one of affluence He is well fed and clothed and lodged Books and all the accessories of learn ing are given him He is educated both in the industrial and the liberal arts Beyond ''the three r's'' he is instructed in geography. grammer and history; he is taught drawing, algebra, geometry, music, astronomy, physiol- ogy. botany and entomology. Ma irons wait on him while he is well and physicians and nurses tend him when he is sick. A steam laundry does his washing and the latest modern appli- n .af- lords him relaxation for his leisure hours. athletic sports and the gymna- sium furnish him with exercise and re- creation, while music entertains him in the evening. He has hot and cold baths, steam heat and electric light and all the modern conveniences. The child of the wigwam becomes mod ern Aladdin who has only to rub the government lamp to gratify his de sires.
 He remains until his education is finished, when he is returned to his home, which by contrast must seem squalid indeed: to the parents whom his education must make it impossible to honor; and is left to make his way against the ignorance and bigotry of his tribe. Is it any wonder he fails Is it surprising if helapses into barbar- ism? Not having earned his educa- tion, it is not appreciated. 1t is looked upon as right and not a privilege: it is accepted as a favor to the govern ment and not to the recipient: and the almost inevitable tendency is to en- courage dependence, foster pride ana create spirit of arrogance and selfish ness.-W Worlds Work.

The Metric System, an England.

One hundred and seventy-two mena- bers of parliament have notified their approval of the compulsory adoption of the metric system of weights ard measures throughout Great Britain. The Decimal association points out in circular that in the interests of trade the reform should be made at once. The metric system is already permis- siye and legal in Great Britain and in the United States. Any manufacturer or merchant who wishes to increase his foreign trade is entirely at liberty to make his goods with metric dimen- sions and to invoice them in metric measures. How trade is to be increased by forcing him to do so is mystery not yet explained by the busy advocates of the Decimal association.-N. r. Sun.

BEFORE THE BALL.
K. of c. Committees Hustling for the
 Big Event.


 Big Event.
 Announcement Is made by those having in charge the big k. of c. ball, which is to be held in the City hall on Thursday evening, April 3, that ladies will not be admitted without escorts, and that tickets sold for $1 will ad- init only two ladies in addition to the ticket holder. All above that num- Der will have to pay 25 cents apiece to enter the hall. In this way it is hoped to keep from overcrowding the hall and also to insure the standing of those who attend. The commit tees are working like beavers t6t~El- sure the success of the affair, and pro- gress enough has been made already to bespeak for it the greatest triumph of any social occasion ever projected i'll Waterbury. The enlarged or chestra of 40 pieces secured for the occasion is to have the services of MT Faulman, well known to the local pub lie as one of our foremost musicians, and the music will surely be most important feature of the ball Many new ideas will be brought forward in the decorations, which will be on far more elaborate scale than usual, and when people enter the City hall on that evening they will be confronted by an unaccustomed scene of beauty. An early purchase of tickets is ad- yisable as the supply is limited.

The labor will be almost entirely without cost by mechanics who are affiliated with the organization. F.. P. Farber, a bricklayer, who is a member of the building committee, has given assurance that the brick laying will not cost much, while D. L. Wochosly has promised to do the plumbing. The building will contain an auditorium seating 1000 persons, and several small lodge halls. The exterior will be of brick and terra cotta, and the interior will be fin ished in hardwood.

once upon time young man fell desperately in love with girl who consumed many sweets, as also many after-theater suppers, at his expense. He gave her numerous presents and spent large proportion of his sal ary for her pleasure.
 Finally they were married, and trou- ble began, for the man could not spend as much on his wife as he had on hia fancee. Then she treated him cruelty and in an unwifely manner, and ire brought suit for divorce from her. The court granted his petition, but decreed that he should pay costs and alimony. es

1.-THE OUTPOST"

J. K. (Fritz) Emmet and Lottie Gill son will present '.The Outpost at Polls on Friday evening. During the construction of the play MT Em- met spent several months among the diamond fields of Kimberley in South Africa where the scene of action takes place, and has with him many fine mementoeS and souvenirs of this com paratiyely new country. It was no easy task to reach the great diamond center of the world, as first a pass port had to be gained from the Eng fish government, and after landing i'll Africa Mir Emmet spent many long days on the backs of mules trudging opportunity afforded. Food and wa ter were not easily procured. Many times this brave young American ac- tor so far from his native land felt like turning back. But he was bound to succeed, and succeed he did, so now he's able to give a true story of the life among the great warriors of the African coast. The scenes of the play are true to life, reproduced from pho tographs taken by MT Emmet, while the guns and uniforms used are ones which have been carried and worn by some brave soldiers, fighting for their home, family or sweetheart. Miss Gilson, as Nora Desmond, the Irish girl who is so we'll known, has many pleasing surprises: and she will again do Justice as 'The Little Magnet Seats go on sale tomorrow
