A Little Glance Over the List of ChaT-
 acbers tor the Above Production.
 The character of John Storm, which will be taken by F. S. Phelps, has been made famous in it's presentation by two of Americas leading actors, Joseph Halworth, now deceased, and Edward Morgan. Of course MT Phelps does not expect to equaa the work of either of those gentlemen, but he will sur prise even the most critical in his con- ception of the part next Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Jerry Phelps will handle the part of Lord Storm; and he will fill that character to per fection. W. H. Benharn is the direc- tor of. the play, and plays as well the character of Horatio Drake. Much depends on the director and the cast of characters has been carefully trained and well instructed for the coming production Mr Benhaln will add in- tereSt to the play also by his studied and careful rendition of the character assigned him. Jack Nick eever in the character Of Lord Robert Ire will have a difficult character, but he will do 1t full justice Robert Mackie will take care of the part of Father Larnphugh. and in rehearsals he Is demonstrating the fact that he will do 1t we'll. John Schwartz asArchd deacon Wealthy, Dave Miller as Parson Quayle J. W. Phelps as the Faro Rink, Tom Bernard az manager, w. + Black as Brother Paul and Thomas KaIrl as the servant will do good work in their various parts if the reheaTsals can be taken as a prece- dent.
 Among the women in the cast. of conrse the first character to be consid- cred will be that of Glory Quayle, the part made famous by Viola Allen. Sadie Hollywood Riley will be seen in this character and it can be truthfully asserted that she will fbld the part to perfection.

VARIOUS REASONS ADVANCED.
Fer the Notices Received by Employes
 of Silver Co.

Wherever tGre employees of Rogers & BTo&her's Silver Co, which Is one of the several concerns in tue Interna- tionai Silver Co, gathered last night thA chief subject of conversation was the notice which every empEoye of the company received in his pay envelope last n&gCht The notice, iss1Bed by the company, declares for an open shop and guarantees fHH protection to every Anploye, union or non-union, who con- forms to the conpany's rules and regu- lations and performs his work to the company's satisfaction. It also threRt- ens dismissal to any employe who tries to coerce a fellow enlploye into joining any organization or tries to- prevent him by intimidation from relinquiSh- Ing membership in any organization, and staJtes that 1t Is the cosnpAny's prerogative to dismiss any employe without asstgning reasons, Just as any emptoye has a right to leave tine com pany's employ.
 Various reasons were advanced by sffe employees for the sending Of such notfces. Some thought that if was the reSarat Of the Strilke in thA company . factory in MeEfden. that the company fears Fhaf tfrere may be general strike in am its factories when business beconnes more brisk and fs preparing for ft Others thought that h was hEad ded1 to the unAons. avd1iaB many nHnTe were of the o'pfni6n that the com pany has some hidden purpose in view.
 While tine employees were very will ing to discuss the notaces among them selves. they did not care to say any Thing fof publication They prefer to aFsvahe the course of events They do uof care to seek after trouble before f. arrives Naturally such a notice would ca H~e InHcf1 anxiety and M has, all the more so because of the trouble fffAt the Internarionaa Silver Go has been having with the employees of its Merfden factory Tn fact. ft produced eFna11 sensation. At fine local factory affairs have been running somewhat smoothly for some time. Although fhere were several strikes in the early part of the year. they were apparently adjusted to tdhe ga tisfactfon of all par tiee concerned. TNhe shop is one of the Strongest organized in the state nearly every male ennploye belonging to tR1e unfon. Tn the Labor day parade 400 or BOO employees of the concern were in line Among the banners carried was one which had the inscription 'FWe are organized and our employers treat LIS fair"
 The majority Of the employpS are not favoradbly inclined toward strike and Hbere is little Likelihood of strike occurring just now unless something unforeseen shouad happen Several employees. however. said tflat meet Ing of all Che employees of the local roncern, would probably be held in the near .future when the notices whll be discussed. The national officers will also prob8lhrv take some action dn re rard to the matter.

Cuban Cabinet Ha. Complied.

HAVANA, Dec 1O.-The cabinet at meeting ordered the establishment of a custom house at Nueva Corona, the principal port of the Isle of Pines
 The government thus complies with all the requests of the United States resi- dents of the Ishs of Pines with the ex- ception of that relating to an American school 1t is believed however, that the school already established by the Americans on the island will be given government aid, It is thought that these concessions will dispose of much of the opposition at Washington to the ratification of the reciprocity treaty.

 in New Haven Last Night.
 About 100 people from this city went to New Haven on q special train by the loop system last night and at- tended the first concert of the New Haven Oratorio society in Woolsey hall, where Handel's Messiah" was sung. The performance was an artis- tic success. The Waterbury people who attended the performance are generous in their praise of the fine work of. the soloists and chorus. The singing was beautiful, The special train left New Haven on the return trip at 11:15 and arrived here at 12 o'clock. Trolley cars were in waiting for them. Though the weather was very disagreeable, the ardor of the Waterburians was not dampened in the least. They were more than well satisfied with the trip. The Mes siah" will be sung at Trinity church some evening in January by the choir, assisted by number of prominent singers in the city. "We are too mod est," said George B. Boyd, who man. aged the trip to New Haven last night. ''To say that we will repeat last nights performance in New Haven. It was magnificent"

Leg and Collar Bone.
 "Max," Benjamin CooIay's handsome bull terrier, is confined at Dr Bland's infirmary and probably will not be able to leave the institution until some time next year. The dogs master is foreman of R. N. Blakeslee's barns and Max" appeared to have lived with the notion that his work about the premises was to take care of the rats. It was while endeavoring to get hold of rodent that he was kicked i'll the head by horse and lost the sight in one optic. After recovering from the shock and becoming acquainted with the way the world looks when viewed through one eye instead of two, "Max" was taking snooze on the floor of the second story of the storehouse when he commenced to dream and thinking he saw rat he emitted yell that was heard all over the building. This was followed by a dull thud on the pavement outside the building and upon investigation Max" was found on the hard ground suffering from the effects of broken collar bone and fractured leg~ He had jumped through the open doorway and was precipitate ted to the ground. :,
