VAUDEVILLE.

The great variety and delightful entertainment of the entire bill at the Jacques this week is drawing big audiences afternoon and evening at the playhouse. Seldom has vaude- vile entertainment in this city been so generously praised as the one headed by William J. O'Hearn & Co, in "A Romance of Killarney" This delightful playlet has much humor and some pathos which together with MT O O'Hearn's singing cannot fail to please. Never before have theater- goers in this city had the chance to see real Scotch comedian and if Jack Lorimer is like the rest of them, Waterbury audiences could be enter tained by them every week. MT Lorimer's rendition of Three Scotch men" and the singing of his other songs too is undeniably funny. Ger trude and Caryl Wilbur in "61 Pros- pect Street. causes continual laugh ter and is chased with the best of the refined comedy sketches. Jeanne Ardell and her Inky Dinks, Le Dent and Bissett and Miller and the cleo trograph are other features. Prices, evening 10. 20 and 30 cents: after noons, 1000 seats for ladies at 10 cents; few reserved for 20 cents. Tel. 1090.

FOR GIRLS TO MAKE.
Simple and Pretty Thinas That Are
 Inexpensive.

The list of sachets is a long one and each year seems to Ind something quite new in design. There are the big. heart.shaped ones, made of flne linen or lawn, with a spray or mon. ogram embroidered in the center and a bow of, pink or blue ribbon at the curve. These may be bound all around with ribbon or scanned on the wrong side then filled with scented batting and finished by blind hemming the re. maining edges together. They are lovely for corsage sachets.
 Pincushions fashioned like baby's basket are new and odd. The cushion proper is set into one of the small oblong baskets noted, and there is a cover with little embroidery over 1t; all around Is q frill of silk or ribbon or point d'esprit. that can be removed and washed.
 Fancy aprons are simply made ol fine. sheer organdie in blue or pink or creamy ground. The bottom Is turnef up quarter of yard and divided int three rows of pockets by herring bon ing in silk to match The fullness is shirred into frill at the waist ane the strings are of one and one-hali inch satin ribbon.

FOR THE DRESSING TABLE.
Three Articles Which May Almost Bs
 Called Necessities.


 The fad for fancy collars and turn overs has caused a necessity for two new articles on the dressing table--in fact, three, if studs and collar buttons are worn--a long, fiat receptacle for the turnovers, box to hold collars aud smaller box to hold studs. The dressing table is most elastic piece or furniture. Like the bookcase, it is always full and yet can be made to hold little more. It's small drawers are boon to the woman who lacks bureau accommodations, for, on the whole. long, narrow compartment or drawer is a much more satisfactory place for gloves than a glove-box, which takes up too much space on top, just as wells are much more con. veniently and safely preserved folded up and laid away than when left on the bureau twined about a roll. Too many objects on top of a bureau or dressing table is mistake, both against good taste and comfort. They are in the way when dressing and only too often are not kept as immaculate as they should be. On this account, celluloid. china or ivory utensils are better than silver ones. although the latter are more effective when they are brightly polished. If silver is used . piece of canton flannel should be kept near at hand so that they may be rubbed off every morning. while once a week they should be cleaned with silver polish.

ance corporations. Official position had
 been used for private gain, and the
 money contributed by the policy hold. CTS for their mutual protection had
 been wasted in a scandalous manner.
 Extravagant salaries had been paid, favorites had been permitted to enrich themselves at the expense of the policy holders, an elaborate system had been established for the purpose of control ling legislation in this state and throughout the country. and enormous sums had been secretly disbursed with out proper vouchers.
 "The revelation of those grave abuses in connection with our greatest fidu- ciary institutions shocked the civilized world and by the discredit which just ly attached to the administration of the insurance department humiliated our state"
 The governor comedies that there was great burden of work on Super intendent Kelsey and declares that he does not seek to impugn his integrity.
 But" says the message, the more important the work of the department the greater the need of making 1t ef1- cient and trustworthy. The assiduity of a department chief in attention to details. to routine. cannot compensate for lack of administrative capacity.
 T have been compelled with regret to reach the conclusion that Mir. Kel- sey is not the man to have charge of this department. His past neglect and the want of force and initiative al- ready displayed make it unsafe to ac- cept assurances for the future. The excuses that he now makes serve only to place fin more prominent light his of his obligations and of what the people of the state have . right to expect"
 The message was read and on mo- ton of Senator Raines was referred without debate or comment to the com mittee on judiciary, of which Senator Davis of Buffalo Is chairman.

ALBANY, N. r., Feb. Ex-Governor Hughes sent to the senate a special message recommending the removal from office of State Superintendent of Insurance Otto Kelsey.
 T recommend Mir. Kelsey's remov- d." the governor says, because as head of this department he has con- spicuously failed to perform obvious duties of the first importance, and his neglect has demonstrated his unfitness for the trust confided to him."
