Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

The vaudeville season ends this week at the Jacques with what may be fairly called the best bill of the season. The Hungarian Hussar band, composed almost entirely of very young boys, make strong topline number. Bands are never wildly raved over in Waterbury, but this one received reception last night that was as hearty as it was amazing to those who know the proverbial coldness of local playgoers. Ray mond and Caverly, two Dutch come- dians of the conventional type, had the house in screams every other mo- ment and gasping for breath in the interim, The Milman Trio is still doing the wire act that stands with out a rival in either Europe or Amer ica. and the dances. acrobatic stunts and general nonchalance exhibited by the littlest girl is nothing short of marvellous. She is an evenings wonder in herself. A. O. Duncan sustains his reputation for always us- ing new material and his satirical wit is well employed in the present ventriloquist novelty. A pretty, re- fined and thoroughly delightful num- ber-is that done by Ida O'Day, who made an instantaneous hit with sev- eryone by her simplicity and very evident natural winsomeness. The Herald Square Quartet and the Miss es Brenner and Sinclair are the other attractions and both please. The pictures are great.

WILLIAM FAyERsHAM.


 Coming direct to Waterbury from its remarkable run of over six months at Wallack's theater in New York, Iiebler & company's most recent and successful play will be given hear ing at Polls theater tonight. The title of the new vehicle Is '.rhe Squaw Man. and as it indicates, it tells the life story of man who has married an Indian woman. The scenes are laid in England and Wyoming, Will Ham Fayersham is the star and the whole is most artistically mounted. The storys~rlIns that Captain James Wynnegate, young English officer in regiment of which his cousin is colonel, discovers that the brother from the disgrace that must follow, he takes the crime upon his own shoulders and comesO to America, where he becomes a cattle ranchman, in the state of Wyoming. He incurs the enmity of desperate who at tempts to kill him, but who is shot down by the daughter of an Indian chieftain. In gratitude for having saved his life. Wynnegate. who by the way has taken the name of Jim Cars ton. marries the Indian maiden. Taken in its entirety, the play has been de scribed as the most vivid and satis- flying picture of the west that has ever been given to the stage, and while 1t has been suggested that the contrast between the English army officer and the squaw man himself is too great, the facts are amply borne out by the history of the west itself. Prices are 9, 50 75 $1.OO and s1.5O. Tel 116. No free list.

 Before the Kid could speak Butler broke in, his tones quivering with wrath:
 You young whippersnapper. look out who you're accusing. Do you know who this young gentleman is? Do you know who his brother is?" But ler's red face turned purple with the force he threw into the question.

 "The superintendent's brother!" echoed the counter.
 The Kid turned with an afr of injured innocence and said to the dumfounded clerks:
 I'm going to speak to my brother at once!''
 At this point customer called Butler away. The Kid occupied himself a few moments with his sales-book: then. as he started for the counter opening. he laid the book on the soap-box
 Ten minutes later Butler had finished with. the shopper. He looked around and suddenly caught sight of the Kids sales-book. Something was written on the cover. As Butler picked 1t up three yellow slips fu;terei to the ground. There was a scramble behind the silk counter

No doubt that thousands of good

looked upon 1t as gambling and are

injury to the morals of the com

to Spain and Italy, whence they
gradually spread through Europe. At
first they were used as a pastime in
fashionable circles, where the art of
conversation had been lost. Later
gamblers identified them with the
worst phases Of sporting life.

of the gambler occupied the field and
were patronized exclusively by black
legs, today the card holds frat place
