MRS LESLIE CARTER.

A triumph of triumphs and a pro-
duction that brought out all the en-
thusiasm of one of Waterbury's best
audiences, We're the dominant factors
which heralded the first appearance
of Mrs Leslie Carter in this city last
evening, i'll David S3elasco's new play
"Du Barry" A star she certainly Is
and a star of such magnetic propen-
Sity that you follow her through her
interesting and enhancing phases of
life as presented in the productions,
ALMOST laughing and weeping with
her A more than splendid play, acted
in its entirety with every success in
artistic presentation. 1t was no Won
der that Polls theater was filed from
the top gallery to the pit, and by the
way those galleries We're gpaced by
the presence of more ladies than have
ever been seen in those portions of the
house before, resounded with genuine
and heartfelt applause. Curtain calls
We're innumerable and Mrs Carter
graciously shared her honorS with the
rest of her company In the character
of Jeanette Vaubernier she has ac-
complished more for dramatic art
than could scarcely be imagined
From the first act in the millinery
shop when as the light hearted, CO.
with all its beauty and riches down to
her final exit as the condemned
courtesan she presented dramatic
pictures that will long be remembered
by those who were in attendance.
In her powerful scenes as the toy of
the king of France and the ruler of
the leading women of that country
she evoked the greatest interest.
Vivid were the protrayaIs of her
scenes of anger, touching were the
pathetic love passages and interesting
throughout was the versatile acting
of this charming and inspiring actress
Surrounded with company, meritor-
ious every one Of them, and aided by
scenic effects and costumes it was not
surprising that Waterbury was
awakened more than it has ever been
before at the production of Du Barry
by Mrs Leslie Carter and her artistic
company.

.rHH WIZARD OF or

waterbury will have dts first oppor-
tunity this evening at Polls to see
1.-THE Wizard of o. the big musical
|extravaganza which ran all last sum
mer and winter in New York. The
New York press has teemed with eu-
logistic descriptions of 1.-THE Wizard
of o." and so glowing are the reports
of the new spectacle that it is diff
cult to form an adequate idea of the
nature of the production. Instead of
being based, as most extrayaganzas
|are, upon one of the ancient fairy
tales, 1.-THE Wizard of Or" is derived
from modern fairy story of twenti-
eth century Kansas, but there is no
essential difference between the two
sources. Chief of the personages in
the action Is a Scarecrow, who in one
of the earlier scenes of the eXtrava-
ganza is endowed with life and from
thence on is the moving mirth-com-
polling spirit of the play. There is
also q Tin Woodman, who likewise
becomes a vital force for fun and
|comicalities after his joints become
oiled up once These two characters
are absolutely unique in the field of
extravaganza. Both are immensely
funny from start to finish and never
once do their antics and mad FRANKS
tire upon the audience. OF the girls

lis exceedingly prolific. Scores of
Irapturous maidens. to the eye allur-
ing and TO the ear eloquent, make up
the brilliant ensemble of what is de-
cIared to be the handsomest stage

"BEN HUR."

AS the time approaches for the en-
gagement of Ben Hur' next Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday at Polls,
lively interest is being manifested on
all sides in this stupendous production
which Klaw and Erlanger have finally
after three years found it possible to
send here. This engagement in a
city the size of ours is undertaken
somewhat as an experiment, it being
desired to know whether Waterbury
can support an engagement of such
mammoth Importance. A certain fig
ure of attendance has been fixed by
Klaw and Erlanger which, if reached,
will convince them that Waterbury
will extend the needed support to
their biggest spectacular productions,
and the city may then look forward to
regular visits from 1.-THE Sleeping
Beauty and the Beast Mother
Goose" and those other big speetacles
that this firm put out. 1t is up to

~rHE EARL OF PAwTUCKET."

The delightful success scored by
1.-THE Earl of Pawtucket" when it was
presented at Polls last December, is
still remembered, and its return en-
gage ment at Polls on Thursday
evening should, therefore, prove a
most welcome event. As then, the tt
tie role will be played by Frank Mon
roe, who won such high praise from
the local reviewers at that time for
the excellence of his acting. The same

of the bill, a gymnastics introduced
by the AVOIDS, proved a novelty, the

1t is not all comedy in the bill that
had its opening performances at the
jacques yesterday, but there is a pre-
ponderance of laugh-making numbers.

"a Bachelors Dream" as presented
by May Edouin and Fred Edwards.
There Is little story to the sketch be
yond the thread necessary to provide
some. slight continuity while Miss
Edouin makes her changes from one
character to another. She assumes
five different characters in the course
of the sketch, appearing each time ac-
cording to the fancies that enter into
her associates dream. and in each of
them she introduces comedy, song or
dance as the particular character
seems to call for. 1t is in her laugh

years ago, that Miss Edouin scores her

Honolulu, Dec. Z, 1904.
Hon. George r. Carter, Governor
OF the Territory of Hawaii
Sir: Recent newspaper articles relat-
sing to the new buildings for the In
sane Asylum in the Territory and the
alleged statement of the attorneys for
! the American and Hawaiian Engineer
ing Company (the contradictory that the
reason why the specifications for said
buildings called for the concrete blocks
to be moulded under a pressure of
not less than 400 pounds 20 the square
inch would be "a rich story when
told" prompts me to set before you the
facts in the matter, as am the party
solely responsible for the preparation of
and wording of the specifications for
the said buildings.

Cooper. Superintendent of Public
Works, to prepare plans and specifica-
tions for the erection under the loan
bill of the new Territorial buildings for
the insane. The instructions given by
him at. that time being that 1 was to
see that the appropriation of $4,000 was
expended in a way that would secure
to these unfortunate wards of the Ter
ritory a comfortable, sanitary and so
far as possible, fireproof home, the
location thereof to be left TO the Board
of Health, with whom was asked to
cooperate.
Considerable time was spent in the
exploitation of various and sundry sites
and it was finally decided that the pres
ent location of the Asylum for the In
sane was the most desirable, provided
that the new buildings could be erected
without interfering with the operation
of the institution. This I undertook to
do The problem was not easy of solu-
ton, but by the enlargement of the old
grounds somewhat, the moving OF some
of the old buildings and the taking
down of others. we have. been enabled
to fence OF the sites for the new build

ings from the present grounds and TO
preserve intact the driveways, walks
and beautiful trees and shrubs that are
such charming features of the institu-
ton, and the sites for the new struc-
lures are today, and in fact, have been
for months, ready and waiting. The
superintendent of the asylum has, i un-
derstand, seen fit to give me much
praise for the arrangements made, but
the truth is that the doctor himself is
entitled to a great deal of the credit,
as is also my architectural business as
sociate, Mr.. Thomas Gill.
The next problem to be solved was the
material to be used in the construction
of the various buildings. The rainfall
in that section is very considerable, and
the character of the occupancy of the
buildings necessitated that their major
portion be subdivided into many small
cells. which, in order to meet the re-
quirements of sanitation, should be well
ventilated and must be constructed of
a material which would be, so far as
possible, impervious to moisture, SO
penetrate the outer walls and make the
interior cells damp and unhealthy.
Brick was therefore far from being
a suitable material and the lava rock
was much less so. This left but one
fireproof material at my disposal, to
wit, concrete, and as a complete sys-
tenn of ventilation was an essential.
decided to use the hollow concrete blocks
so much in vogue on the mainland.
Under my direction many hand tamped
blocks were made, but to my disgust
found that even they would absorb
a great deal of moisture. Knowing that
a. great Improvement in the manufac-
ture of brick had been made by hav-
ing them moulded under pressure the
idea occurred to me that concrete blocks
made under heavy pressure would
show the same improvement over the
