Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

No type of variety offering is more thoroughly enjoyed by the patrons of the Jacques than a well written, well played sketch. with plenty of whole some comedy and a dash of dramatic intensity in it and that Is the reason why the tleafer is sure to be packed all week long. "A Yankees Love for Dixie" the comedy in one act which Mir and Mrs Gardner Crane are pre- senfinr these six days. justly de- serves to have all the above attrib- utes applied to it. Another type of yG- riety entree which always goes in Waterbury as if probably does every where else. is represented in The Fali of Port Arthur" with which sherman and DeForest have sent the audiences into eanvulsions at every performance. The beauty of the skit Is t'ie fact that the name has absolutely nothing at all to do with the action which Is Of the insi.-Scribahle sort that considers nOth- ing as long as it gets the laughs, as if undoubtedly does Both Mr Shcr- man and his winSomc ndrtncT have af- ways been faveriteS hera lsc-auSe they make everyone feel good lruinored and inc present. engagement is sure to strengthen inc friendly relations which already exist The laiis 5nd chill dren will find pleasure ia the dimiuu. five size of Shaun Singh HDoo. the little brown man from British Bur nah. whose ,laintineSS nf appearance and exquisite Tsoliten.SS Uf manner are irresistible. while the men will en- jav his vnoirTfuI zymnaStic feats on the trapeze and the flying rings.

but are. keenly alive to their rights un- der contracts or agreements and, while ready to give every confidence, resent deceit or business trickery of any kind. found in all classes an admiration for the American people, and especially for President Roosevelt, and firm conviction that the two countries would be friendly and that Americans would assist them in developing their tre- mendous natural resources.
 2. Count Witte, who, Is now steering the new ministry, is favorable to the coming of foreign capital and enter prise to Russia, and with his favorable impression of our country and his tre- mendous influence in shaping Russia's policies it is certain that when the great work of preparing for the douma is fln- ished by him development of the re sources now lying fallow will be, one of the first problems to which his keen intelligence will be devoted.
 Prince Hilkoff, retiring minister of railways, told me that if he had accom- plished much in making the railway system of Russia efficient it was due entirely. to the experience and knowl- edge gained in America. Russia Is rich in minerals of all kinds. Steel manu- lecturers of all countries are now turn ing to her for manganese, and her cop per deposits are among the richest in the world. Coal and iron are plenti- full, and many localities can be found where precious metals can be mined.
 'It must not be assumed that one can not get pretty much everything one wants in Russia. Factories of all kinds are there. and the products are general ly excellent. have seen in the navy yards mild steel and nickel steel plates, perfect in finish and which had stood the most rigid test. But while manu- featuring is gradually developing, the immediate future wealth of Russia lies in agriculture.
 "A trip through the empire is like riding through the great prairie states of the Mississippi valley. With the gradual adoption of policy of land owning by the peasants, so that, as they enrich the lands in the way of increas- ing their productivity and at the same time enrich themselves, habits of thrift and saving will soon come.
 Russia needs two things to enable her to feed the rest of Europe-cheap money and cheap transportation.
 With railroad enterprise, such as that of J. J. Hill, lower Russia and southwestern Siberia could raise wheat for the, world. But I believe that with adoption of the new idea of participa- ton of the people in the government so sincerely determined upon by the em- peror Russia will settle down to tran quilly building up the empire and de- veloping the arts of peace instead of the arts of war; The latent resources are so vast and diversified that every calling and trade can find opportunity and earnest work a reward. The men are good workmen when trained and properly controlled. and while now chiefly agricultural 1t does not require a stretch of the imagination to con- ceive of time in the near future when. doing much of her work at home, the manufacturing may be such that the home market will be as valuable to them as ours has been to us."

MILITARY MEN. ARE HANDY.
Those in Garrison Towns of France Make Themselves Generally Useful.

Y The order of the French minister of war that the sharpshooters of the gar rison towns on the coast shall devote their time to the extermination of the seals, which threaten the fisheries of the French coast, is novel, but merely repetition of history. states the New York Herald. !, V Some years ago the province of Lux. embourg as infested with wolves. The alarmed inhabitants appealed to the minister of agriculture, who in turn called upon the minister of war, with the result that several regiments were ordered to the province and the pests were exterminated in short order. < It is not many years ago that Ger man soldiers were ordered to East Bel gium to assist the peasants in com batting plague of rats, and millions were killed before the troops were withdrawn. Four thousand Russian soldiers cleared the railway lines in the vicinity of Odessa after the great blizzard of 1903, and 5, company of French infantry enjoyed lion hunt in the streets of Chartres when one of those animals escaped from travelling menagerie.
 Perhaps the oldest use to which SOL diers are put is at the Heidelburg uni versity, where the school of anatomy draws upon the garrison for it's living object lessons.

 ment of Klimt and GazzolO, will pre-. sent a new play, Big Hearted Jim.'

DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

That troublesome pain in the small of the back points straight to kidney sickness. Backache will not leave of its own accord, nor will sick kidneys cure themselves. Every day of neg lect makes the cure harder.
 Inactive kidneys cause rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, headaches. dizzy spells, nausea. indigestion. weak heart, gravel. stone in the kidneys. dropsy and too frequent passages of urine.
 When you first feel pain in the small of the back, or first notice anything wrong with the urine. don't delay a moment. Give the kidneys the help they need.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have quick and direct action on the kidneys. They drive out the poisons that infest the blood, cleanse and stimulate the kid neys, regulate the urine. cure hack ache. dizziness and languor, and per manently heal the kidneys.
 The best proof we can offer of the great merit of Doan's Kidney Pills is testimony of residents of this city who have used the remedy.
 WATERBURY PROOF.
 James Dews, of B Hospital avenue. says:
 "Doan's Kidney Pills are fine rem edy and I can most highly recommend them. I suffered considerably from severe pains through my lolns and across my kiyneys. more severe during changeable weather or when caught

1 ne Foresecs . Mighty American Re- public . Hundred Years Hence.
 President Eliot of Harvard pictured a mighty American republic a hundred years hence in his address before the Prospect union at Cambridge, Mass, the other afternoon on Reverence Con- sistent With Genuine Democracy" says a special dispatch from Cambridge to the New York Times. He spoke in part as follows:
 "The great movement of the world today is toward democracy; the great keynote of the present century, the century that we are just entering upon, will be democracy in all things. One hundred years from now the population of our country. which is now for the most part wilderness. will be beyond any present conception, and this great nation will be the most democratic that the world has ever known.
 'The progress of democracy will be the great feature of the advance of civ ilization in the present century. If this is to be sound, the character of our people must be ss sound as their pro Hciency in the arts. in commerce. h government.
 Though critics say that democracy has destroyed some of the finer charac- terlstics of the older countries, such as reverence of children toward parents. pu- pills toward teachers. the people toward their rulers. there is fin all these rela- tions a more genuine relation than for merly. No nation in the world has such reverence for women as have the men of the great republic. Our reverence for symbols has diminished. but not for the ideals which these material signs of religion and love of country stand for"

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-For more than three hours Mir. Spooner occupied the time of the senate in explanation and defense of the course of the ad. ministration relative to the Moroccan conference at Algeciras. Spain. and in connection with Santo Domingo.
 The speech was delivered to crowded galleries and to a well filled senate and received careful attention throughout. It was in the main response to the speeches of Mir Bacon and Mir. Till man. and it's purpose was to justify the presidents acts in both the matters un. der discussion.
 In the Moroccan matter Mfr Spooner contended that the president had mere ly followed precedents in appointing delegates and said that if he had failed to do so he would have been guilty of

There's lot of forceful truth com
pressed into these few sentences by
the Okolona Messenger.
The individual who gets the few
est letters makes the most complaints
to the postmaster, the man who
never has good meal at home growls
about the hotel accommodations: the
man who complains most of his neigh
bors is the meanest of the lot; the
church member who pay the least of
the preachers salary find the most
fault aud always complain of the
management of the church; the man
who never invests a dollar in town
enterprises is man who is always
crying down public improvements:
the loafer or no account workman is
always to the front in strikes and
labor agitation"
