COMING ENTERTAINMENT.

The University of Pennsylvania glee, mandolin and banjo clubs will make their initial appearance before a Waterbury audience on Thursday night, February II. The concert will be given at Leavenworth hall. It IS only by rare good fortune that Water bury is to be visited by these clubs, and from indications Leavenworth hall will be well filled. The program will be the same as that rendered recently at the concert given in the Waldorf Astoria to the Pennsylvania alumni of New York city. Lovers of good col lege music will be pleased to hear this and will certainly appreciate it. wa terbury will have its first opportunity to hear the same University of Penn sylvania clubs that annually delight fashionable Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington audiences, and 1t will be a treat from a musical standpoint. This is the first New England trip "U. of P.'' has undertaken for some time, although almost annual private and joint concerts with Harvard are given in Boston. This years New England trip includes Smiths college at North ampton, Hartford. Bridgeport, Stam- ford, New York and Lakewood, N. J. The number of tickets is limited. They may be obtained from the local alumni of the ''U. of P.'' or at Driggs & Smiths, Curtis's art store. Cannon x Jones's drug store and J. J. Derwin's music rooms. William Greenberg, son of Samuel GTeenberg of Central avenue, is a member of the mandolin club.

 F. F. Craft, manager for ConrOy & Mack, in ''The Rising Generation, 7 tells how he recently saved ten cents on deal with a transfer man, while all the time the man thought he was getting the best of the bargain.
 The company made q one night stand at small town in West vir- ginia. They had left most of the baggage in Cumberland. where they had played five nights engagement The agent ahead of them had made the usual baggage contract of twenty cents the round trip. When the com pany alighted from the train, which left only eight trunks on the platform, the transfer man approached Manager Craft and in disappointed tones asked:
 And is that all your baggagey''
 Yes" was Crafts answer, i've needed only that much for this stand"
 But your agent said you had thirty pieces," said the man; ''you couldn't expect a fellow to haul only eight trunks at twenty cents the round trip" '.Well. how much do you want?'' asked Craft, quite willing to pay a reasonable advance. .. Well" said the man, making a hur- ried mental calculation. T can't do the job for cent less than a dollar and 6 half" ''Is that your final decision" asked Craft, smiling inwardIy.
 That is,' was the firm reply. All right said Craft, T accept your terms
 Manager Craft copied the following rules and regulations posted on the doors of small hotel in Alton, West Virginia:
 Notice, subject to the Court of Up shur County.
 "All persons stay out of the kitchen. No drinking allowed in the house or on the premises. No yulgarity. No swearing. No gayety, romping or rowdying, and no shooting.

 Il: Cecil J. Lionel, of Hoyt's Comedy company, now en route in the west tells a story of an excessive, though an amusing charge made by the land lady of boarding house where some of the company were staying during one night stand in the town. One of the members had q room with q fire. the price being S1.5O. Another of the company had an adjoining room with no heating resources. AS there was connecting door the two actors took advantage of this by leav. ing it open during their stay, thus rendering the fireless room comfort able
 After the occupant of the room with the fire had settled his account with the landlady, the other approach ed, rendering his settlement for his short occupancy of his room, which would have been cheerless but for the courtesy of his neighbor.
 The 1andlady, after accepting the amount agreed upon. then held out her hand and curtly said:
 Fifty cents extra, please"
 For what?" asked the surprised actor, unaware of having incurred any additional expense.
 For heat" was the terse reply
 But there was no fire Ill my room, 7 Temonstrated the actor.
 But you had the door open into your friends room said the careful landlady. "and I want fifty cents ex-

JAPAN'S FIRST BLOW
Russian Fleet Blocked at Port
 Arthur.
JAP CIVILIANS FLY PANIC STRICKEN
Tokyo Dispatch Says 10000 of the Cxar's Troops Have Been Com centrated In Yalu Valley to
 Seize Northern Korea.

LONDON, Feb. 6.-Japan's war fleet consisting of sixty ships of all classes, has bottled up the big RussiaQ feet at Port Arthur, completely blockading the Russian stronghold and thus strik- ing the first blow in the coming con f1ict. .@-.. .
 While the Russians have been plan ming for action and rushing warships and troops to various points in the Liaotung district of Manchuria the Japs have quietly concentrated their main hne of battleships off Weihaiwei. less than ninety naiies from Port Ar thur, thus holding the key to the situa- ton.
 News dispatches from Port Arthur say that the Russian fleet at that point under Admiral Stark, which sailed away at dawn on Feb. 8. has returned and taken up an anchorage outside the harbor. .~.
 The fleet ran, into the Japanese war ships on guard and quickly put back.
 Now that the Russians are blockadsd it is believed that Japan will carefully go over the czar's reply and unless the mikado's demands are granted, which is not believed here. will at once de- clare war.
 A viadivostpk dispatch says: "The Japanese are flying panic stricken, and Japanese storekeepers are sacrificing all they possess in their haste to es- cape to Japan. Gases of oranges are selling for 5 cents, and furniture is be- ing literally given away. They are practically ruining themselves in their hurry tO get away before the outbreak of war;"
 More than thousand Japanese girls have embarked for Japan, and three steamers arc on the point Ofsaning for Japan with Japanese families, includ- ing many who have fled from the Ei- kolskoye and UsssaEd regions.
 A dispatch from Tokyo says that 10000 Russian troops have been con- centratcd in the Yalu valley, with the probable intention of seixing north Ko- req.
 The Tientsin correspondent of the Standard reports that ths railway au- thorities are still bringing all the roll ing stock inside the Great wall. owing to the uncertainty of Russian move- ments, while the Russians have prohib- tied Japanese from travelling on the railway.
