WATERYILLE DAILY TALK

regular meeting of Court Pine Hollow, F. of A., will be held tonight.
 The private sociable given in Pyth- ian hall last night by some of the em. ployes of the American Pin Go was a very nice affair. All present enjoyed themselves and the affair was conduct ed in smooth manner
 The attendance at the Wateryille school is not much greater to-day than it was yesterday. Forty-four pupils were present yesterday morning, forty two in the afternoon, and forty-seven this morning. As there are six rooms in the building there is an average of about eight pupils i'll each room. It would be better to have the school closed entirely. Some of the parents persist i'll sending their children un- yaccinated to school. This is rather a foolish move. They know that the order Is that the children must be vac cinated or remain from school. What is the sense of sending the pupils back to school, when they know that they will be sent home again.

The Colleen Bawn.

Once more success has crowned the efforts of the Catholic Women's associ- atiOn and the entertainment of last evening at Poli's taeater was one of the brightest and best of the many given by this society. There were so many other entertainments booked in various parts of the city for last night. that it was feared the attendance at Polls would be affected, but every man, woman and child in Waterbury, who had the memory of St Patrick fresh in his or her mind, was out last evening to participate in the various celebrations, and as consequence. Polls theater was crowded to the doors with the friends and we'll wish CTS of the young ladies and gentlemen, who were enacting the different roles of the Irish drama selected for presen- tation. And it was a performance worthy in every way of the day that was being celebrated, worthy of the appreciation and appreciation it re- ceived from the many people present. A very smooth production, was the general comment and perhaps as clean cut and as well enacted play, as any that has been seen on the local stage,
 ssThe Colleen Bawn" was the title of the drama selected for presentation and no better Irish play could have been chosen for the occasion. It is one of Dion Boucicault's masterpieces and it suffered nothing at the hands of the young ladies and gentlemen who were assigned to portray the charac- ters. The splendid success which at tended the play is all the more to be commended when you take into con- sideration that the rehearsals did not begin until six weeks ago. Usually in amateur productions it has been found necessary to have at least three months practice and sometimes four months have been renuirad There were many who doubted that the drama could be successfully produced in so short a time but all those taking part were amateurs of ability who had faced the public on many occasions and they were melted to their hest efforts and the result of their diligence patience and hard work was manifest last nieht In the beautiful presentation of ssThe Colleen Bawn''
 Of course there were many other features which assisted the amateurs in their 1abors and which played no small part in the general good finish. Notable among those features was the work of fhe stage hands last night un-

The person who happens to be tenn porarily stcanded, financially, in New York city. and who goes into pawn shop and 'ssoaks" his watch, fancies that nobody will know anything about it. That person will be wrong. There is a great deal more to it than that. His name and address will have been reported to police headquarters and registered there, together with the number of his watch, and all this will be on record in black and white, not only for the present generation, but for posterity. That is why uncle is unpopular in New York. The num- Der pawned varies from month to month, but on an average there are fully 100000 different entries monthly for pawned watches reported to police headquarters, and there filed away for future reference.-N.

There are some that bear a certain resemblance

dition that he should not kiss her; but on the
fourth day of their return journey she smiled
in her sleep. and looked SO beautiful that he

And there is the story of the wonderful son
of a beautiful maiden by the rain god, who
