MILDRED HOLLAND

A fine dramatic treat is promised In
 Mildred Hollands presentation of s'The Triumph of an Empress this evening at Polls. Tn this play the author. Theodore Kre1ner, has taken 8 hitherto undeveloped field. Russia
 has been the subject of much play writing, but the inner secrets of the Russian court at Catherine's time. when the grandeur of costuming, dig nity of action and wealth of material for plot, is new ground for the dra- matist's art. And he has made the most of his opportunities and created a. play that is wonderfully strong, powerful in action and intensely inter, esting as well as instructive. Tn writing '"The Triumph of an Elm press' MT Kremer. has taken incidents
 illustrating the peculiar. eccentricities.
 freedom of speech and daring actions indulged in by Catherine and woven
 them together in powerful, interest ing and coherent drama. But where he has scored his greatest success is fin showing the best side of the no- bility, and the remarkable statecraft with which Catherine was unques- tionably possessed. An incident of historical importance is that in the second act, when Catherine persuades her future husband, In exchange for a kiss, to sign a truce abolishing the secret inquisition and giving equal toleration to all religious. Miss Hol- land is supported by cast of unus- ual excellence, Prices are 9, 50, 75 cents, $1 and $1.50.

THE THEATERS

Nawn and company under the title of Pat and the Genii." The sketch is a dainty conception and 1t is played with a delicacy of touch and senti- ment that it exquisite. MT Nawn as Pat" is an employe of a collector of Egyptian mummies, and one day, when he had dropped into slumber, some of his masters mummies appear to come to life, and it is in the talk between them and Pat the fun lies. The dialogue Is very funny and the situations amusing in the extreme. MT Nawn in the role of Pat shows a delicious Irish brogue and the keen humor that is characteristic of the Irishman, playing with a jollity that is contagious. When we recall what some so-called Irish comedians have put on hte stage 1t is refreshing to witness as act that is so well deserv- ing of being listed at Irish comedy. The Nawns certainly made a big hit yesterday, and the act bids fair to be one of the most popular ever head lined at the Jacques. Old time varie- ty in abundance characterizes the rest of the bill, and it went yesterday with a snap that caught the audi ences. Clayton Kennedy and Mat tie Rooney, the latter daughter of the late Pat Rooney, showed some very clever dancing, and the Heavenly Twins have daintily conceived com edy offering. Others on the bill are Mitchell & Marron, the Two Pucks, Eddie Devoe, the Helstons and the electrograph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents: afternoons, 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10 cents.

"THE WHITE sLAvE."

Bartley Campbells great play. ssThe White Slave" which has not been seen in Waterbury in many years, will be presented at Polls Thursday afternoon and evening. That the charming qualities of this time-honored melodrama do not di- mintsh with age has been demon- strated by the immense audiences which have attended nearly every performance given by the new "White Slave company this season. This is said to be partly due to the fact that the management has put 1t before the public in truly spectacular garb and equipped it with a better scenic investure than has ever been seen in any former presentation of the play Although the charming at" mosphere of the long, long ago has been retained, there are many things in "The White Slave" which will give 1t a new interest. The same old story which has made millions laugh and cry is told again in the same old way. The stage director, has, however, de- vised several new stage pictures which produce fine effect. The sale of seats opens tomorrow.

NO ROOSTER FIGHT.
Police Raid a Hotel Just Before Bat
 fIe ReGam.

Port Chester, Teb. 16.-Chief of Po- lice Donovan is being branded by the sporting fraternity as man devoid of even a suggestion of sporting blood. Chief Donovan rudely entered without being announced-while the sporting persons were craning their necks to see the start of cock fight early yesterday morning in ho- tel on Fox Island.
 The chief and five of his underlings stole furtively to the island, having previously intimidated a cabman, who knew the password. They burst upon the crowd like cyclones. The sporting men hustled out through windows, cellars and roof. Some of the win dows were broken in the scramble. One fugitive ran afoul of a fisher mans net hung in tree to dry, and the chief had to release him. No ar rests. Also, no cock fight.

The secret of the everlasting in furs is to keep them as free as possible from all contact.

If room is wanting for this place on a shelf with tissue paper un, der and over them and between each fold. Furs that have been wet should never be hung in front of a stove or open fire to dry.

Thursday evening Mr.. and Mrs.

her home in Houston, and was enjoyed
to the fullest degree. Games, music
and dancing were the order of the
evening. In the course of the evening
delicious refreshments were served.
The host and hostess proved them
selves ideal entertainers.

Plenty of Honey.

A few days ago Mr.. N. R. Royal OF
the Royal National bank said to a
Herald man that it was gratifying the
way the farmers especially were pay
ing up their small loans. He says his
bank has made fine record this year,
and the loans have been collected with
little or no effort.
And as corroborating the same fact,
today Mr.. Lucius Gooch, cashier of the
First National bank, said:
ga comparative statement just made
shows increase in deposits over this
time last year of about $4,000, while
our loans have decreased s14O, OOO."
This is very healthy showing, and
no doubt reports from the other Pal
estine banks would show up as favor
ably.

given in Palestine during the year.
The host and hostess entertained in
a most elaborate style, and in return
we're remembered with many hand
some presents. We hope to give a
most extended notice later.
