POLICE COURT DOINCS.
George Tracy Was Witness Against
 John Butts This nornins.

Jonn Butts. colored. was given or, aers Dy his employer to keep boys off HIS sieign, and it seems that he was gwen much annoyance from boys i'll that respect Yesterday afternoon Butts was driving up South Main street and opposite Hotchkiss S Tenn pierons store small boy named Da- va hubert leaped on the rear of the sleigh, whereupon Butts turned around and struck the boy, the lash of his whip winding round his face. leaving a red mark. George Tracy. the contractor, happened to witness. the incident and had Butts arrested.
 In the city court this morning Butts was charged with breach of the peace and assault on the boy Hubert, though the latter bore no marks of the assault. Butts pleaded guilty and said he had been given orders by his employer to keep boys off the sleigh and that he had no intention of stlik- ing the boy In the face. The boy did not make an outcry. but scooted like the average boy when scared off the back of team and made faces at Butts upon finding himself outside the reach of his whip! The boy did not testify, but Mir Tracy did. Judge Peasley imposed fine of $5 and costs on each complaint and placed Butts on three months probation in order to give him a chance to pay the fines
 Lawrence Peterson was charged with breach of the peace in obstruct- ing the passageway in Knights Of Pythias hall Officer Erricson testl- fled in the case. Peterson denied ev- cry statement made by the officer. He said he does not smoke and that he did not obstruct the hallway. He objected to the officer putting his hand on his shoulder and making show of him. because he did not in- tend to run away or make any trouble. Furthermore he denied try ing to strike the officer. Sentenc6 was suspended.
 Giovanni Perigini was fined $io for assauItine a fellow countryman and was placed on 120 days probation. This was the result of a row that took place in the old Scovill house cellar.

THE WATERBURIANS.
All Ready for the Big Extravaganza
 TO-Morr0w Night.

With the blowing of the whistle to- morrow morning calling the men 70 their daily labors, the work of deeo- rating the stage for the mammoth musical extravaganza, The Water burians,. which will be produced at (Poli's. will commence. Many extra electricians. decorators and carpenters have been engaged, and not until late in the evening will the great task of producing a miniature of Forest park and street at St Louis exposition be completed. For the Forest park scene real trees, leaves and shrubbery will be brought from that popular resort 70 make the picture perfect In tho St Louis exposition scene hundreds of yards of colored festooning with the flags of all nations will be used with the other decorations to make the scene present a gala day appearance.
 Promptly at S:15 tomorrow and Sat 11rday evening and 2:16 Saturday after noon the curtain will rise. At exact ly 2:14 the house will be darkened in readiness for the presentation of the Waterbury picnic scene: The manage ment desires the seat holders to be in their place at that time, as this first part includes some of the best musical numbers. Company A, c. N. G. re- hearsed on the stage last night ana won much merited applause for their excellent military movements. One of the light effects which will be thrown on this scene will be the Amer ican flag with the soldier boys all spick and span in their suits of blue in line through the stars and stripes Another wonderful light effect which will be used for the first time in Wa terbury is what is known as the lohr sterscope. During the Sailors Horn pipe this effect IS thrown on the stage, making the sailors appear to be danc- Ing in the distance at one time and the next moment close to the eye. It makes the dance appear at times like moving picture. the same effect that the wizard of Oz'' company sue cessfuliy uses in their great produc- ton. The final rehearsal is to be held in Music hall this afternoon and will be continued until this evening
 The box office has been constantly besieged by eager purchasers since 1t opened yesterday morning, and it would be wise for those desiring to see this, waterbriry's greatest musical triumph. to secure their seats early. Waterbury will indeed have first night" of its own to go down in local theatrical history.

St. Valentine Fun.

A game of cards most appropriate for St. Valentines day is hearts and should be played by an even number and with partners. A unique way of choosing partners Is to get large candy hearts, the peppermint and checkerber- ry candies that every one has loved in childhood. On each of these paste strip of paper on which is written the name of one of the famous lovers of story. Romeo will play with Juliet. Francesca with Paolo. Dante with Beatrice and so on. Distribute these 'sweethearta," with the request that the soul mate of each be found, and for prizes give an embroidered heart shaped dolly and an embroidered broom case, heart shaped also.

he had a pass bearing the signature of

While the lawyers wrestled with the

apprehensive that they would be over
