 CARRIE NATION ON DECK.
 Waterbury has seen Carrie Nation at last. And she isn't a terror at that, as anyone can testify who was in either of the two large audiences at the Jacques yesterday. Only a mild- hammered. gentle-faeed little s'Wonlan Stfs apparently middle age whose eyes beam ordinarily with the sparkle of good nature and jollity, but occasional ly fash with the fire of danger when she wades into the saloon business and argues for her fAvoFite theories of prohib bition. Mrs Nation. was well re ceived by her audience, too and she evidently appreciated the attention \ with which her talk was received. This was interesting, to say the least, and well delivered in easy conversa- tional style. punctuated occasionally with keen shafts of Satire and gleanfs of contagious humOr. One can tell ill an instant that Mrs Natioa is an en- thusiast on the matter of the liquor traffic, earnest and sincere to an al most uncomfortable degree. There is no doubting the terrible determination with which she ass&ils the laws that permit liquor selling or the indiffer- ence of the authoriti ies where the sale is prohibited. ItdwaBs this earnestness stnat led her to smash saloon after sa- loon in Kansas, Wielting her axe with a vigor and strenuousns that seemed beyond her physical strength. And there is a reflex of this terrible activity in the vigor she puts into her words as she hurls her verbal volleys at the business during her vaudeville mono Iogue. Discussing her own course, Mrs Nation tells why she went on her saloon-wrecking tours, emphasizing her right to do as she did in Kansas, and reveals the object of the tour she is. now making through the theaters. ItSiseall very interesting twenty mirl- utes that she provides and the people who were present at the Jacqnes yes terday enjoyed it immensely. There is no reason to doubt that Manager Poh has done very popular thing in sending Carrie Nation to Waterbury, and it is very certain that the Jacques will be very popular place with amusement seekers this week. MT Poli has not neglected the vaudeville features of the show, however, in put ting forward Carrie Nation as his headliner Aresto the artistic auto Inaton, and Josephirie Gassman with aier pickaninnies make a duo of addi- tional headliners that would constitute aI Attraction for any bill. Tn addition there are Martini and Maximilian Fen Brooke, Lambert and Ten Brooke, Lambert and Pierce, and the electro graph. Prices are 10, 0 and oJ cents, afternoons 10tand 20 cents, ladies 10.
