. Don't fail to see the Champagne dance from "The Silver Slipper as it is being done this week at the Jacques if you haven't already seen it. Sel- dom has any single act in vaudeville attracted more enthusiasm and inter- est gand seldom is any act put on a vaudeville stage that engages so many people in it's presentation. There are actually twelve people in the act-sixs young women and six men-and they all appear at one time in full view of the audience. It is an act that cer- tainly makes striking novelty for the vaudeville stage, and it is one that every lover of vaudeville should make it a special point to see. There is a very strong accompanying bill, the show taken in it's entirety being a re- markable one for the prices charged. These are 10. 20 and 30 cents; after moons 10 and 20 cents. ladies 10.

EZRA KENDALL.

That a good, wholesome, American play, with distinctively native types of character, is the, most acceptable form of dramatic entertainment, has again been demonstrated in the re
 marka ble success of "Weather Beaten Benson which Ezra Kendall and his company will present at Polls this evening. That Kendall is alone in the field which such actors as William J. Florence and Sol Smith Russell have occupied in the past is the opinion of the critics who have seen his work in Weather Beaten Benson" Not alone the star, but the play itself, it's pie turesque environment and it's excep- tionally fit cast, have come i'll for the warmest praise of any production of the season. T saw Weather Beaten Benson the other night. and it is the best thing I have seen this season." is the verdict, boiled down, of a commer- cial traveller who makes this territory. A good way to get a line on the value of theatrical production is to ask the first commercial traveller you meet. He has, in all probability, seen the play and is an unbiased critic. Prices are 25. 30, 75 cents, $1 and $1.50, with an entire suspension of the free list.

Is the Waterbury City Government
 Run in the interest of Trusts ?

With the Assessors Department grinding the small and middling prop erty owner to point of distress, and this reform government now proposes to make the owners of small dwellings set water meters in each house, pay Tor and keep the same in repair, and the city will sell water to the small con- sumer at high price, and the big con- sumer at low price. If this rule is enforced the city will be compelled to place on the pay roll about 100 meter inspectors. Of course the city will pay for their services first, and the taxpayers afterwards. If this sort of economy is practiced very long you depend upon it there will be 2 day of reckoning for the reformers.
