THE 1'HEATERS
LOOP THE LOOP.
Sensational Act to he Given alt the K.
 of P. Fair.

At last Waterbury is to be treated to sensational performance of loop Ing the loop at close range. To-day it was announced that the committee having in charge the arrangements for the great fair of Speedwell lodge, No 10, Knights of Pythias, had closed a contract with Tony Castellane, the worlds greatest trick cyclist. The fair opens at the Jacques auditorium on Saturday night and will continue for d week. Castellane, the demon, whose press notices alone send a veritable thrill through the reader, will be seen at every session of the fair. He is the only human being who has ever sue scessfully ridden a wheel through ten foot loop. His act Is a remarkably expensive one and that it will reach the climax of sensationalisn can be assumed. The act is truly wonderful and after Waterbury has seen Castel- lanes first performance little else in the amusement line will be talked of. Every the newspapers have lauded Castellane to the skies and he is certain to create hit here..ssy
 In addition. the world renowned Zamora family, Mexican aerial sensa- tionalists, has been secured. They have appeared all over the world, and their act which is worked without q net, is pronounced to be one of the most thrilling ever placed before the public. There is no other act of it's kind in the world
 Of course everyone knows .fof the famous Cora Beckwith, the worlds champion woman swimmer. She. too. will appear at every performance, giv- ing her remarkable exhibitions in a huge tank of water. Miss Beckwith Is internationally famous, ard Water bury will assuredly give her a royal welcome. The Knights will also pre- sent the spectacle Beautiful Fairy land,'' "The Trip to the Moonsss ..s'Fhe Statue that Turns to Life's and 'sThe | Girl from Up There" Friday night ot next week will be amateur niaht. Prizes of gold and silver medals h..d cash vii be awarded. Already Place i and Dane. comedy sketch artists; Per ! cy Lanson, eoster singer. and Ryan { and Robillard, contortionists, have en- tered the competition. Welcome news.
 perhaps, will lie in the fact that there will be no canvassing, and that the ad-
 mission fee will be but 10 cents, every attendant receiving a chance on $1O gold piece, each evening. Dancing
 will be free and the new auditorium
 floor should be the means of attracting
 many lovers of the saltatorial pastime. ! But the chief interest will center in the performance of Castellane. who fin
 his looping the loop act. will positive ly set the town bv the ears. The act i has been seen at the leading houses in
 America and there is no doubt as to Lits worth. Those who see it on the
 opening night Saturday. will@ never
 forget it. With the Zamoras,2 Cora
 Beckwith and all the other stellar at
 fractions, visitors to the Pythian fair
 should not want for varied amusement
 for the next week, commencing Satur-
 day. ,g .@.r...

MENELIK A REAL MONARCH. Holds Undisputad Sway Over His Chieftains-Hfs Chief Interest
 Lies i'm Military Affairs.

Menelik of Abyssinia is a man of dark competitor, grizzled whiskers and beard, pleasant smile and very determined jaw. The general expression is amiable and intelligent and confirms the general opinion that he is the most liberal-mind- ed and progressive. man in his dominion
 He is evidently not given up to effem- inate luxury, and the nearest way to his heart is said to be through the latest Invention in military weapons. He has thoroughly subjugated the entire coun~ try and turned it from a mass of petty tribes and chieftains to united and pow erful country, in which he holds undis- puted sway.
 The name of Menelik commands re- spect to the uttermost end of his wide dominions, and not leaf falls without his consent. His great aim has been to get his country we'll armed and ammu- nitioned, and of war supplies of all sorts he is said to have a goodly supply stored in the interior.

A NATIONAL AFFAIR.
The Coming Fair of the Knights of
 Columbus.

The fair which is to be held in City hall under the auspices of the united councils of the Knights of Columbus of Waterbury during Easter week Is already taking on features of national importance and attracting the atten- tion of Knights in every part of the United States. Since announcement was made that the funds raised from the fair would be devoted to the erec- ton of a home for the Knights of Waterbury. that would serve as head quarters for those Knights who come here on pilgrimages to the grave of the orders founder, requests have been pouring in on the committee for books entitlinp purchasers to share in the distribution of prizes and offers of assistance in other ways are like wise being made. It is being recog- nized that, the object of the fair be- ing a national one, local Knights should not be left alone to make 1t a success. The committee feel much encoura ged at this manifestation of fraternal spirit, and they point to it as a special incitement for active lo- cal cooperation.
 The agent who has been sent ort by the general committee to establish agencies for the sale of books has been meeting with cordial reception everywhere, and already returns are beginning to show in orders for books and tickets from the committee. The latter are disposed to build their greatest hopes. however. on the sup port of the local public, believing ] that from the latter must come the greater part of the profits of the fair and to this end they are now in .nego- tiation with prominent New York amusement agency for the engagement of one Of the most notable attractions ever presented ssD the local public.

ROGERS BROTHERS.

With what has been aptlY styled the greatest comic organization on earth, the funny Rogers Brothers will make merry tomorrow evening at Polls, where they will appear in John J, McNally's latest production, The Rogers Brothers in London" ]" The career of these entertainers. under the direction of Klaw and Erlanger, has been marked y the most mar known in the history of the American stage. Six years ago they made their first appearance, comparatively un- known, in MT McNally's "A Reign of Terror" Since that time they have ri,en to be the most popular anu strongest drawing entertainers in America. Wherever the Rogers Brothers have been seen this season, , 1t has been found that 'sThe Rogers Brothers in London completely eclipsed all previous efforts in this style of entertainment in the history z Of the American stage. So far as at 2 tendance and receipts are concerned
 ! 1t holds the record of every theatel I in which it has been seen. And at. S tendance and receipts are the real measure of success of a theatrical at z traction, for the day has gone by ] when the public will spend its money z for anything but the best in theatrical
 entertainment The company surround ing the Rogers Brothers this season
 numbers no people. sixty-six of whom
 are very attractive young women. Th'
 company includes such favor1tes as
 Joseph Coyne, Lee Harrison. Melville

CARRIB NATION.

There is no doubt about it, Carrie Nation is proving a tremendous draw ing card at the Jacques. Whether it be curiosity to see this daring woman who has smashed over 8 thousand Sa- looms with her axe, interest to hear her explanation of why she did 1t, or the fun to be he'd in hearing her de nounce the traffic and the laws that
 sanction, certain it is that there is DO
 tency in her name 10 draw people into the theater where she holds forth. She
 furnishes what the play bills term
 twenty minutes of excitement" and
 1t Is no mistake to say that every min
 ute of the twenty Is exciting and anus
 ing. Mrs Nation is not q freak at all
 as the yellow journals would have
 caused one to think, but an intellis sent
 woman with what she believes to be
 a mission and with the !cour-
 age and deter imitation to push that
 mission in the way that she believes
 most effective for its prosecution. To
 this end she is appearing on the vaude-
 vile stage and in a monologue that
 fairly teens with pointed satirical
 and witty sayings, drives home to her
 hearers the ideas she stands for. The monologue Is in it's way as legitimate aS any regular vaudeville monologue for 1t amuses the hearers, even though amusement be not the aim that Mrs Nation has directly in view. Nobody can hear the Kansas cyclone without being interested and amused as we'll It is the opportunity of a lifetime tc See. the most talked about woman ir the world to-day, and 1t is little won der that the opportunity is being availed of so largely. The vaudeville features proper are made unusually strong, because of this headliner be ing such a departure from the ordi nary, making a show of exceptiona merit. The contributors are ose phine Gassman and her pickaninnies Artesto. Maritime and Maxamilian Ten Brooke, Lambert and TenBrooke Williams andMe1burn, Lambert and Pierce and the electograph. Price. are 10. 20 and cents; afternoons, 1( and. 20 cents, ladies 10.
