Grand Oper. Hlouse.

The management of the Grand opera
 house is ever thoughtful of it's patrons
 and consequently book none but the
 very best of attractions for presentation
 at that popular playhouse. But they
 have been exceedingly fortunate in rem
 dering one Of the best and most thrill
 ing realistic melo-dramas now before
 the American public for their New
 Years attraction, and it is a foregone conclusion that there will be crowded
 houses present to witness this sterling
 production.
 "Over Niagara Falls is play found- ed on fact, it's basic truth being the
 death-defying trip over the world re-
 nowned falls made by Anna Edson
 Taylor, some time ago in a barrel. From
 this fundamental idea Joseph leBrandt
 has evolved story full of human inter- est, and pathos and abounding in emo-
 tional scenes and climaxes which arouse the greatest enthusiasm and bring the
 witnesses to an almost indescribable state of excitement.
 ''Over Niagara Falls opened a six performance engagement yesterday af- ternoon, and there was 8 record pre- sentation last evening. both of which were well attended and from the ardor of the reception it is certain all present were highly entertained. The scenic ef- fects of the production are exceptionally elaborate. and on a scale of grandeur seldom reached in melodramas. The ride over roaring, terrible Niagara is almost hair-raising, and the miraculous escape Of Mile Madeline, who is placed in a barrel by her frenzied and inhunan husband and sent over the Horseshoe falls. To those who have not gazed on the beauties and terrors of old Niagara this scene is a revelation and furnishes
 an admirable opportunity to witness the
 greatest falls in the world. The falls
 are remarkably well reproduced and the scenes are of much dramatic intensity. This is especially so of the rescue and escape of the wife after her remarkable ride. The climaxes and anti-climaxes are well worked up, and splendidly ex- ecuter. There is an abundance of spark ling humor which is infectious and
 brightens up the more serious side of the story which makes a full well rounded and Finished production of great interest.
 Messrs. Rowland and Clifford have se- cured a capable company for the pro- duction. and they essay their several roles in most admirable manner. "Over Niagara Falls" will be presented at special New Years day matinee this afternoon, and another performance tonight as well as the regular matinee tomorrow and to-Inorrow evening. An actor who can act like a poet is born, not made. By experience and by taking advantage of opportunity and by application to his art the actor can improve and become the artist. This is, or should be. the aim of every person on the stage and this is true of J. Frank Burke, the leading man Of Corse Pay- toms comedy company, who to-day stands in the front rank of his. chosen profession and is universally acknowr- edged true artist. The same can be said of Miss Florence Hamilton. the charming leading lady of MT. Paytons

COURT HOUSE NEEDS.
Clerk Marsh Will Ask Legislature for
 Needed Improvements.

Representative-elect Marsh. clerk of the superior court, will try to induce the legislature to grant money for some needed improvements i'll the court house that will bring it up to date. Though 1t is a modern building, being no more than six or seven years old, it is far from modern i'll Il prac- itical way. 1t has none of the accom- modations of the superior court room in either Bridgeport, New Haven or Hartford, though these buildings were erected when the local one was scarce ly thought of. There is not I place where lawyer can confer with his clients and witnesses. If lawyer de- sires smoke he must seek the pub licity of the stairway. There is not even place where he can with any safety hang his hat while he is trans acting his business In New Haven and other places there are rooms where both sides to a contention can confer without fear of Interruption, and there is a coat and hat room, a lounging room and, ill short, the best of accommodations.
 Several ideas have been suggested to MT Marsh to relieve this condition of affairs, but the most feasible one is to add q story to the building. This, it is said, would give ample accommo- datfon for all time The building cost SSOOOO and was paid for by the town of Waterbury and New Haven county. It has always been considered pretty costly construction, but at the time the legislature granted permission to build it this end of the county needed a court house so much, and the local bar particularly, that everybody interested in the project were only too glad to accept anything that would dispel the necessity of going to New Haven every time they had a case of any conse- quence.

THE EIGHT HOUR DAY.
Connecticut Printers and Employers
 Hay Have Run Tn.

The employing printers of Water.
 bury. at least those of them who carry the label, and believe in paying union
 prices and working union hours. have
 been notified that the union will de-
 mand an SA hour day beginning De cember l, for all newspaper hands.
 That is, for those who are now work ing Sa, for it must be remembered
 some of the newspaper Lands are only working eight hours at present. The plan is to get an eight hour day for
 all men belonging to the typographical
 unions. The union in this city is try. ing to reach the goal in small jumps. by taking fifteen minutes off the day
 each year until the eight hour day Is reality. There is no great objection to m eight hour day in some quarters, but the employers think they should be allowed to pay wages according fu what man is worth, and not accord ing to a schedule laid down by the unions The Democrat doesn't need to go hundred miles from home to see
 the injustice of the schedule adopted by the Typographical union, and it is
 probably the same i'll other trades. It is hardly fair to ask an employer to
 pay two men the same wages when
 one of them turns out only one-half or tWo-tnirds the amount of work the other dOes An employer is thus forced to pay more wages than what he gets returns for. Discharge the poor one, says the union men. 1t isn't always advisable or convenient or good policy
 to do this, and the man himself would
 work for less wages rather than go
 elsewhere, but being good union man he gets something for nothing, some
 thing he is not entitled to.
 If the unions insist on the short day, which really works very little
 hardship in an office, it looks as though there might be something doing after December 1. The Connecticut Ty-s
 pothetae is strongly opposed to the l eight hour day and has announced it's intention of fighting this demand to a finish. At a recent meeting of the Ty-
 pothetae the following preamble and resolutions were passed which shows where it stands on the question: Whereas, The International Typo
 graphical union has asked the United
 Typothetae of America to declare it's position upon the proposed eight-hour
 day, and
 "Whereas. Under existing conditions any dlteHipI lO Teuuce stue uOuIs UL labor in the printing trade would be
 disastrous to the employer and em- ploye alike, be it
 Resolved, That the United Ty- pothetae of America declares that it is opposed to any reduction of the tifty-four hour week, and be it further Resolved. That the United Ty- pothetae ofsAmerica will resist any at tempt on the spart of the Internationa.
 Typographical union to reduce the present hours of labor"

EILEEN OGE."
Members of the A. 0. H. Are Now
 Working Hard for Success.

From the present outlook 1t would appear that City hall will be filled to overfowing on Thanksgiving after noon and evening, when the very in- teresting Irish drama, Eileen Oge," !" will be presented by the leading anna teur actors and actresses of Water bury. The members of the Second di- vision, under whose auspices the play will be produced, are working night and day to make the presentation a most successful one. The members Of the. cast of characters have studied their parts so hard and so faithfully that they are now ready for the pre- sentation and await the day with eagerness. The costumes, which win come from one of the leading houses in the country, will be here Monday evening. and full dress rehearsal will be held, possibly on Tuesday evening. The scenery will be so arranged that patrons of the house on that night will scarcely know the theater. The pro duction will be one of merit and will reflect great credit on the members of the Hibernians in this city.

Another incident of the Inaugural
ton turned out differently. but 1t was
so significant 1t must be repeated
here. Before the union of Italy the
first act of new pope was to appear
on the balcony of st. Peters and
bless the people crowded in the great
square. Leo XIII. discontinued the
practice because the square was nc
longer papal territory. Plus X. as he
left the conclave was bent upon re-

1t Is related how a visitor to the

decide 1t right. There is perhaps no
better policy. either for an Abraham
Lincoln or for pope.
