THE HAM TREE.v

A musical vaudeville they called the entertainment of last evening at Poli's theater, when McIntye & Heath, two as clever negro comed- fans as ever graced the American stage, presented their great hit of "The Ham Tree" before n big audi ence, ana more than delighted one. Such company has seldom been seen in theater In any Connecticut city and never has more fun created by any organization of the kind. It was a continuous laugh from begin ming to the end and it was as spicy program as ever been seen in Polls theater, Tffe stars themselves did not contribute the whole thing either for the brilliant company they carry with them, stole away many of the honors. Particularly was this so in the case of w. c. Felds in the char acter of Sherlock Baffies. His bewild- erfng juggling work was one of the best things of the kind ever witness ed in Waterbury, There were others too who contributed not a little to the grand program and such bunch of fun and pleasure has seldom been combined in one entertainment.

 SYRACUSE, N. Y, May 11.--Reply- ing to criticism of his arraignment of President Roosevelt contained in a let ter controverting an editorial in the Syracuse Herald headed An Amazing BIunder,' which condemned the Stand ard Olps attitude on the presidents message, James K. Day, chancellor of the Syracuse university, said
 Private commercial business in whatever form. corporate or otherwise, under the law and until adjudicated to be in fault by the law, must not be at- tackled by name by presidential procla- nation. The president of the United States should not make himself lec- turer general 10 the people and tarnlsh the dignity of his office and cheapen his words, which always should be golden, by the discussion of subjects interdicted in the best forms of good society.
 Tt means anarchy if judges are to be set practically aside or if their yer dict is to be held up to criticism by the president. It is an invasion of CO., ordinate branch of government which should alarm every thoughtful citizen and is scarcely across the border of possible impeachment if rebuked as It's merits demand.
 "The act of the president in naming business and thereby its officers is a proclamation, and judging their cause upon ex parte statement is monstrous abuse and threatens fundamental prin- ciples.
 "The president urged the building up of a new competitive business for the purpose of destroying the business which he took upon himself to con- demn. If this is not anarchy. what is anarchy? As an humble citizen with inalienable rights insist upon halt. Our president must not be prosecutor or persecutor.
 Rounding corporations and men by suspicion and accusation, the ghost of Titus Oakes, is fast becoming a gen eral practice. Cases are first tried by muck rake judges in popular maga- zines founded for the express purpose of revenge or blackmail. Headings are being made by writers at so much a line or animated by sinister motives. apparent to those who search out the origin of their purposes.
 Sentiment Is being created, as in the appalling days of the French rev olution and similar periods in England. When the president lends his procla- nation to such procedure 1t is time for party lines to vanish and for our loyalty tc make anxious inquiry as to whither we are drifting as country"
