Some very important work will soon

front. Three men persisted in the
flames and two others who are miss
ing are supposed to have burned to
death or drowned in their efforts to
escape the flames.
For a time the entire harbor front
was threatened with destruction. On
the north side the flames were with
difficulty kept within the confines Of
the wharf of the Merchants and Min
ers' Transportation company. and on
the south side a stubborn BATTLE was
fought to prevent wholesale destruc-
ton Of property by fire spreading
from the steamship Essex and six
barges. which were burned.
Soon after the flames were extin-

yvsrteau Concert.

Polls theater was not crowded to
 the doors last evening. but there was a large crowd present. sufficient to fill the theater comfortably and to enjoy treat in the musical line passed in this city. At the very out set one disappointment was accorded the audience when Manager John- son announced that Miss Friedl Slender. the soprano soloist, was in- disposed and would not he able to sing her numbers. This disappoint- ment wore away long before the evenings entertainment was eonclud- ed because of the splendid and de- liEhtful work of the three remaining artists. Marteau himself. Miss Emma Showers. a gifted pianist. ana Au- gust Goellner. the accompanist. Each number followed the other in raptur- ous succession and such a delighted audience has seldom been seen in the theater. Musical enthusiasts were most of them and they simply sat through that concert charmed and entranced with the excellence of ev- cry number performed Msrteau vas at his best and in order to make up for the absence Of Miss Slender he treated the local audience b more of his musical gems than he has else where.

CITY AMATEUR LEAGUE.
Managers Held Important Meeting
 Last Night.

The six managers of the City Anna teur league held meeting in the St Joseph's rooms last night, and after listening to the financial report dis cussed many matters of importance to the league It was decided to play the three games on the new field for the present. but if another grounds can be secured one of the games will be played on that other field. A committee is ont on that matter al present. The schedule for next Sun day was not given out last night. as the president wanted to wait and see just what would be done in the mat ter of the number of games played and on another grounds. The sched- ule for next Sunday as announced to- day Is as follows: First game. Wash ington Hills vs St Josephs: second game. Pastimes vs North Ends. and last game, Brooklyns vs Merrimacs In case the new grounds are secured the first game scheduled will be played on that grounds and the last two will be played on the state league field.

NEW ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION.
Will Seek to Learn Whether Graham
 Land Is Only>an Island.

Three, If not four, expeditions are expected to be in the Antarctic area again within the next eighteen months. The six expeditions from Captain Ger. lache of Belgium to Dr Chnrcot Of France. that spent the past few years in the Far South discovered new lands and penetrated for inside of one long Rtretch of coast, but failed to ascer- tain whether these lands are ali bound together. forming a continent.
 Captain Scott made his way up the gentle ice slope for BOO miles into the interior of Victoria Land. but was not able after all to show whether he had marched into a continental mass or only large island. Every expedition that is going to this field hopes to shed light on the question Of the southern continent
 The problem is to he attacked on the American side of the Antarctic by Lieutenant Michael Barne of the dis covery, who Is preparing to go to Graham Land. about GOO miles south of South America. Explorers have been up and down the east and west shores of Graham Land. and what they have found of it is about 45O miles long from 30 to 100 miles wide. but it widens rapidly toward the south; they do not know yet whether it Is q large island or promotory.
 If. as some of the students of the Antarctic problem conjecture, the ex- tent of land in the south polar regions Is about 3,5OO0O0 square miles. these lands are about as large as the United States, including Alaska. Human curiosity will never be satisfied till the whole extent of the land is laid down on the maps and all geographers know now that for the next twenty years this field will be the scene of the largest exploratory activity.
 It is. strange that the mysterious south land which long before the dis cOvery of America should be the last and greatest problem of geography to be solved in the twentieth century.
 The statement has been published several times recently that no investi- gatiOns are now in progress in the Antartic. This is slightly inaccurate. The Argentine Government has just established meteorological and magnetic station at WandeI Island. far south on the west coast of Graham Land. So the Antarctic regions are at present not entirely deserted by ex- plorers.

{ R. EDUCATION.
Locust StreSv School Grounds May
 Be Pleasure Park for Children.

Every member of the board of ed ucation, excepting Commissioner Loomis, who is now resident of New York. was at his place last evening before 7:3O, the time for opening the meeting. And the mo- ment the clock told the proper time Mayor Thoms began business. There was nothing of very great import sance considered. The committee. on school houses and hygiene reported that to put stand pipe in the High school will cost about 1925, minus the necessary accompanying hose.
 The same committee reported that the grounds of the Porter street school and the greater part of the sidewalk are in very bad condition and that on some days the pupils cannot use the grounds at all on ac- count of mud.
 There was some discussion about turning the old Locust street school grounds into park for the neighbor- hood children and 1t was decided to turn the matter over to the board of public works.
 Superintendent Tinker reported the following applications: For posi- tion in the High school, Miss Lillie Richmond. For the grades, Misses Elizabeth R. Miller, Eunice c. Hib- bard, Helen E. Seymour and Ruana l.. McNeil. They were filed for fu- ture reference.
 Mayor Thoms. Vice Chairman Me- Donald and Commissioner Chapman were appointed committee on grad uation.
 Janitor John Bevans of the Rus sell school and John Claffey of the Lincoln school applied to have their salaries increased from $50 to $60 a month. MT Bevans' grounds for ap- plying was the high price of every thing that reaches the poor mans table. Both were referred to the proper committee.
 The application of A. LaPlante that his son may be allowed to leave school for work was allowed.

A CARGO OF SNOW.
Or of What Looked Like That al
 First Sight-What It Was Really.


 Looking down over the high hatch way cOmbing into the after hold of Il steamer discharging at an East River wharf up by Grand street ferry. q waterside stroller saw in the hold be- low what seemed to be a cargo of snow -an odd cargo for vessel to bring. They had already got out the bulk of it from immediately under the hatchway and almost down to the vessels floor. but all around still arose white banks of it reaching up almost to the vessels decks: and half way up one of these steep snow banks a man was at work with a pick, dis lodging masses of it to fall to the open space at the center, where stood men with scoop shovels piling this snow Into great iron tip buckets. which, as fact as they were filled, were hOisted up to be dumped into chute running down over the steam CTS side, this chute emptying into carts on the wharf
 From the steamers forward hatch, at the same time and in like manner. they were discharging from the same snowy cargo. but over the other side of the vessel. the cargo from the after hold, going across the wharf into q warehouse. while that from the for ward hold was going into lighters alongside. customs officer at each point noting the weights of it as the stuff was hoisted out.
 It was salt. the snowy white cargo with which from stem to stern this steamer was loaded; cargo of $500 tons of salt. brought from place in Sicily where they make salt by the evaporation of sea water from arti- ficially made ponds of about twenty inches in depth.
 To one whose ideas of salt were confined to the trifing quantities of it that he saw in shakers and salt cellars on the table this cargo of thousands of tons seemed like lot of salt: really like something curious and interesting and remarkable. As a matter of fact in the various uses to which it is put salt is used in enor- nous quantities, and to those ac- quainted with salt and the salt trade salt in full cargoes. large and small. is something quite familiar.

SUMMER STOCK COMPANY,
Daniel F. Lawlor Will Be Member
 of Troupe This Season.

of Troupe This Season. This is the last week Of the vaude- vile season at the Jacques, and the members of the Poli stock company are ready to begin their plays at the house on Abbott avenue. The stock company will start rehearsals in,- mediately for the first play, which will in all probability be ''Shenan- doah"
 The present vaudeville season viewed from a financial standpoint has been most successful. The little theater has been full at almost every performance and at times hundreds have been turned away. It seems to be a fad to see the continuous at least once week and whether tine show has been poor or good, it has always been we'll patronized.
 In regard to the bills that have been presented at the Jacques, they have been nothing that one could rave about. The good weeks have been few and far between and the poor bills have come often. It seems as if Manager Poli, judging from the liberal manner that his vaudeville has been patronized in this city, should make an effort to bring bet ter vaudeville numbers to Waterbury next season than he has this. There have been rumors of New York map- agers starting a variety house here next year, but the chances are slim for the same.
 The Poli stock company will un- doubtedly be as popular at the opera house the coming summer as it was last when it proved big drawing card. Earle Simmons, who was the star of the company and who re- ceived large amount of notoriety for some of his performances not on the stage, will not be here. neither will Miss Grace Hayward. Lawrence McGill is likely to play the leading parts and will also manage the com pany.
 Daniel Lawlor of this city will also be a member of the company.
