SIG sAUrELLE,s SHOWS.

s'The best of everything and every
 thing of the best,' is the motto of that great snowman, Sig Sautelle, who's Nine Consolidated Railroad Shows will give an afternoon and even ing performance i'll Waterbury, We'd nesday, May p. Unless one has seen this enormous circus it is impossible to form any conception of it's magni- tude. Performances high up in the air, in three rings, on elevated stages, in wild west arena and on il man. moth hippodrome track leach in itself a complete show) are combined under one vast tent ana may be witnessed br the purchase of a single ticket. Only artists of recognized merit and reI,,,- tation in Europe and America Ii "
 been engaged this season for the in comparable Sautelle shows. Among the performers who appear during each exhibition are unrivaIled aerialists whose infallibility in the presentation of their stupendous exploits is no less a wonder than is the astonishing ease and grace with which they are exc cuted. These thrilling and audacious feats denote the possession of great courage, confidence and power and never fail to elicit the warmest kind of praise from onlookers. Then there are a host of acrobats in numberless originally devised breath-iaking achievements; all-featured equestrian acts as conspicuous for novelty IS for genuine worth and the grace with which they are accomplished; troupes of handsome blooded horses and cute ponies in remarkable displays of sa- gacity and intelligence; other ctIucat- ed animals that do seemingly ilnpos- sible feats at a low spoken word of command and countless number of other acts. each and all of which tend to keep Sig Sautelle's shows well in advance of their contemporaries.

"THE SILYER sLIPPER.'

A large and delighted audience is Witnessing the first Waterbury pro- sentation of John c. Fishers mann moth production of "The Silver Slip per- this afternoon at Polls, and there will undoubtedly be another big crowd on hand this evening. The bright musical comedy is being presented with an excellent cast and an unusu- ally elaborate setting in the way of scenery and costumes. The story is one which, while it does not possess depth enough to bother the seeker af- ter light and airy amusement, is still somewhat connected in incident and decidedly entertaining. The silver slipper of the title is kicked to earth from the planet Venus by a frisky maiden of the distant realm. She is sentenced, with several companions, to come below and remain until the slipper is recovered. Tn the cast are Gertrude Millington,; who in one act appears as a boy; Thomas J. Keogh, who has one of his funny German roles; and many others, with an un- usually large chorus The whirlwind- like champagne dance is said to be q sensational novelty. Prices are 25, 90. 75 cents, $1 and $1.50.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 The remarkable show at the Jacques ought to crowd that popular playhouse at the closing performance this even ing, and smooth the way for another one of exceptional strength that Man ager Poh has provided for next week. As headliner he offers George Hen " Trader and his company ill I come dietta adapted from the French by MT Trader and entitled Oscars Birth day" There are five people-two men and three women-in the cast, all of them people who have shone on the legitimate stage. The playlet is de Scribed as a singularly bright bit of farce, and 1t is played with snap and dash, the action being even more in evidence than dialogue. As a special feature appear the Empire City Quar- tet, who are. perhaps, the best sing ing and comedy four in present day vaudeville. In addition the bill in cludes the great Todd-Judge family, the Marvellous Frank and Little Bob, Miss Ruth Nelta, the aerial Shaws. Al H. Burton, and the electrograph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; after moons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

PORT ARTHUR IS
 AGAIN ISOLATED

LONDON, May 14.A Mukden. dts. patch says Pulatien, near Port Adams, on the Liaotung peninsula, has again been occupied by the Japanese, and communication with Port Arthur is again cut off.
 Advices from Tokyo say the Japa- nese torpedo boat No. 43 has been blown up while removing mines from Kerr bay, north of Port Dalny. Sew en men were killed, and seven were wounded
 This is the first warship Japan has lost in the war F
 The torpedo boat was lost during series of bombardments and surveying operations at Talienwan, Ueep and Kerr bays by Admiral Kataoka, com mander of the Third squadron. The admiral arrived at Kerr bay early in the morning and detached the cruisers Itsukushima, Nisshin and Miyako, or dering them to Lombard the land bat teries, while a fiotilla of torpedo boats swept the harbor for mines.
 A second fotilla of torpedo boats, which had been engaged in guarding Port Arthur the previous night, joined the squadron and began the work of surveying the harbor. The Miyako discovered company of Russian in- fantry and detachment of cavalry on shore and dispersed them.
 A Liaoyang dispatch says the ad- vance guard of the First Japanese ar my has appeared six miles below Lien chenkuan, on the road to Liaoyang. It is not making any further advance, but is erecting strong Notifications. The Japanese movements were made with the greatest care.
 According to late dispatch to the emperor from General Kuropatkin, General Kuroki has divided his forces and is moving on the Russian lines along the routes trayersed by the Jap anese in the war with China in 1S94-o5. Haicheng, Liaoyang and Mukden are threatened, and i'll engagements all ready fought Kuropatkin announces that his right flank was turned.
 The opinion of the military experts in London is to the effect that Kuro- patkin is in an extremely desperate sit uation.
 Incidentally Newchwang is appar- ently about to be invested.

OAKVILLE HAPPENINGS

Mrs Slocum of Watertown intends to start keeping her boarding house on Newton heights in June. The habitation, which has been built right up-to-date, and furnished with all the latest improvements, will afford ac- commodationss for number of the homeless, it being the largest and most commodious dwellings in this To- cality. Oakville has long felt the want of such an establishment. Perhaps fully half of the employees of the local pin factory, that is to say over two hundred, come from the city. No doubt q number of these would reside nearer their work if they could get proper ac- commodations for considerable are the advantages of it. It means warm inviting dinner, less hurrying in the morning, getting home earlier even ings and consequently more time to ones self, to say nothing of the regu- lar car fare. It is to be hoped Mrs Slocum will be successful in her en- terprise.
