enth District COurt-M0t0S.

A young man named Carroll is good
looking and swell dresser. who would
pass for a young millionaire. For some
time he has been visiting the leading auto
mobile dealers OF Providence and gave
them to understand he wanted to pur-
chase the best ear I'm the establishment.
He was given cars to try and he de-
monstrated the fact that he knew a good
machine and knew how TO handle IL.
He has given his many women friends
outings and has had a Jolly good time.
and no doubt could have continued for
some time longer had he kept away from
this place.
Yesterday afternoon he stopped at one
OF the golf clubs and telephoned TO
dealer I'm the city to send him "A car al
once. stating that his name was Croker
and that his machine had broken down
As this Arm had had number OF just
such telephone messages. the manager
came TO the conclusion he would go with
the machine 10 the club. The manager
kept out OF sight until young Croker"
was aboard and then stepped up 10 the
car and said: Good evening, Mr.. Croker
i see that you are not Mr.. Banigan this
evening" for the young man had pre-
viousy called for machine on Mr.. Bani-
gans name.
Young Carroll admitted that he was
caught red-handed. At the session of the
seventh District court this morning he
was fined $40 and costs for hiring a
conveyance under false pretencee. His
mother, who resides on Arnold street
paid his fine. II is possible that other
charges will be made against the young

 Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

Regardless of the great expense
 which is attached to it and mindful only of the pleasure of his patrons, Manager Poli has secured for the headliner at the Jacques next week, the most sensational act in all Amer
 ican vaudeville, Venella's Horses. All other phases of variety entertainment have been eclipsed totally by the per formance of these ten wonderful ami malls and the act is by far the biggest thing ever seen in Waterbury, not even excepting the trained horses Of the Barnum X Bailey or the Ringling Bros circuses. Considering the fact that an ordinary circus ring is filled uncomfortably by four or five ami mals, the skill necessary to exploit the

NAMING INDIANS NOT EASY
Native Sioux Describes Laboriousness of Deciding on Cognomens
 for Tribesmen.

The fact that two of the most inter. estins native races of the world are not decreasing was brought out at the Sat urday meeting of the Twentieth Gen. tury club by Dr. Charles II. Eastman. Of Amherst, Sioux Indian, and Miss Will helmina $. Bain, who gave an account of the. Maoris. of New Zealand. says the Boston Herald.
 pr. Eastman told about the work he is hoing in the naming of the Sioux Indians and thus facilitating the recognition of their title to inherited land. II am not remaining them.' he explained, but sim . ply emphasizing their names. A little over year ago the Indian commissioner sent for me to Washington and fold me the president wanted to see me. In my interview with President Roosevelt the difficulty which many of the Indians have in establishing their right to in- bcrited property. due to the fact that the Indians do not have family names. was discussed X great many of the names, moreover, are eincomprehensible. inconyeniently long. or improper. all of which makes ii difficult to swear in court where an Indian belongs or who his relatives are.
 Leaving out the medicine men. the Indians. so far as can find out. are not hostile to the American government, except when undue pressure is brought to bear upon them and they are turned ont of their hone. The Indians like to go to ihe government schools. and have mace great progress under the instruc- tion of the missionaries zeal. and I 8 n one of them"

N POL-I'S
sTHE LIBERTY BEI4IsES. :

The novelty of the plot of ''The Liberty Belles," which comes to Polls Saturday afternoon and evening, is ap- parent from the rise of the curtain on the first scene, the dormitory of a girls college. The picture is a marvel of stage management as one touch of suggestiveness would spoil the entire effect, but instead. throughout it all, is the fragrance, of innocent girlhood, the bubbling spirit of girlish fun. It ',s a scene the like of which has never leen portrayed on the stage, and inter- twined in this beauty feast are grace tnl dancers, tuneful songs, mimicry ma clever specialties. In the con- 1 any are Sigma Janer. Toby Craige, Bessie Williamson. Eugene Weiner. Carrie Wilson, Catherine Hayes. Ma bel Kipp, Dorothy Hutchison. Kath- leen Warner. Percy Leach. William H. Conley. Frank Harrington. The scenery, costumes (which are said to be very costly. and stage settings are the same as were used with this at traction at the Madison Square thea Ter, New York. during it's long run in that city. The Radium ballet is an additional feature which has only lately been added, and will be seen for the first time in Waterbury on Saturday afternoon. Prices are 23. 3s5, 30 and a cents; matinee 25 and H cents.

feats of ten on an enclosed stage be- comes at once apparent. The animals used by Signor yenella are the finest specimens of blooded stock obtain able and are worth ths pricH of ad- mission if only as objects of vision.
 There is not feat known to the trainer of animals which these Eequines have not accomplished and
 the concluding feature of the act has
 been the marvel of the entire contin- ent of Europe. It Is q boxing bout be
 tween two magnificent stallions and
 those who have seen it. including the
 vaudeville critics on the New York
 dailies. admit it to be the most unique animal performance ever staged. The
 animals, beautiful in every line and
 action, go through the ninutest de-
 tails of the pugilists art and never fail to awaken il tornado of applause when one of them has been down and
 counted out. The referee. timekeeper and the seconds are all impersonated by the othe- members of the troupe, and the whole act is of realistic ac-
 curacy to delight the he,rt of Parson Davies himself. Signor Venella has been in America only short time.
 having come to the Poli circuit direct from Hammerstein' Victoria. where
 day after day hundreds unable to sa- cure admission were turned away. So great was the success of the act in New York that every effort was made
 to secure the release of Mir Polls
 bookings which proved unavali:ng. Bridgeport saw the performance last week and the reports from the Park
 City are more than enthusiastic. The appearance of SignOr Venella and his
 matchless steeds will be the event of
 the local vaudeville season. The
 horses will make short street parade
 every day that the weather permits. The other numbers on the bill have
 instead of being weakened because of
 the magnitude of the headlner have

advertised and enthusiasm was ram pant at both performances. At the evening entertainment the audience. which consisted mostly of the repre- sentative Irish men and women and their descendants in this city and in surrounding towns, were set on edge right at the opening of the concert by that inspiring Irish tune 'St Patrick'si Day." This was rendered in an able manner and the audience simply craved for more and for an encore Erin Go Braugh'' increased, if that were possible, the applause. Then fol, lowed q beautiful musical rendition of scenes from '.Maritana. stephen Rooney. the big. handsome cornet solo ist, rendered ''The Lost Chord' in an able manner. One of the delightful features of the evening then followed [ when out from the band circle stepped James Brady, the sweet Irish tenor, i he was through. "The Irish Emigrant>
 was his first selection, and his voice scared into the clouds as clear as q
 bell. For an encore he set the audi ence wild with delight by singing with . excellent effect '"rhe Wearing of the
 Green" A third encore was demand ed, but only another verse of his sec ond selection was accorded the ap,
 plauders. The first part concluded l with another excellent selection by the band. Agrand fantasia of Irish airs opened the second half and again did
 the applause resound through the the. ater. Miss Lillian O'Hara also made quite hit with those present by her
 rendition of "Killarney.' and later on
 she sang very swcetly and prettily
 ''The Kerry Dances.' An intermezzo
 entitled "A Spring of Shillelah' worked
 up more enthusiasm. The hit of the
 evening then followed when the Kelly
 trio, two males and female. came out
 for their Irish dances. And how they
 could dance. Their feet simply flew to
 the time of the music and cheer after
 cheer went from the audience for
 more until the dancers were tired out
 The young lady received q bouquet of flowers from some of her admirers
 The entertainment concluded with an
 American fantasia by the band. The
 concert was grand one and it is q
 pity more of that kind of entertainment
 could not be provided for the music

MEXICO BUYS MOST HERE. Southern Republic Purchases Three Fifths of Her Imported Goods
 from United States.

Of all the goods Mexico buys abroad she gets three-fifths from the United States. Of all the goods she sells abroad she sends three-quarters to the United States. To be exact, the precise propor. tlons are 59 per cent. and 76 per cent. respectively. There is no other country, except Canada, which buys so large part Of her imports from us. and there is nc other country, except Cuba, which sell; so large part of her exports to us. The last decade and a half have witnessed rapid growth of this trade. Our exports to Mexico, which in the last fiscal year were in round numbers SAG, ,000, 900, have increased three and half times since jS90. and our imports, which were last year $4,000,000, have practically dou- bled. Railroad building is the great cause for the growth. The through lines have given our merchants advantages which merchants of other countries do not have, and which are still lacking tc us in our trade with the Central Amc-i- can states. The MeXicans take $3.000,- 900 worth of our coal and the same amount of our raw cotton year. They spend about $2,000 900 each for our cars and carriages, locomotives, mineral and vegetable oils and lumber. Half mil. lion dollars or more of their money is paid out for scientific instruments, for electrical machinery, for builders hard ware, for sewing machines and for fur niture. Fate has "decreed that we are only to have two immediate neighbors on the continent. Mexico and Canada. Both of them are good neighbors, commer- cially and otherwise The more neigh borly they get the better.
