GEORGE WASHINGTON. JR.'

Sung and stung hard. was the
 theatrical going public of Waterbury
 last night, and by George NJ. Cohan, who had become almost popular idol in this city. The generous ad- Ivertising and advance notices that this young man had received. because of his many successes. attracted to
 Polls one of the biggest audiences that has ever filled the theater. The standing room only sign was out
 long before eight o'clock and many
 were turned away. report saying that at least 500 hundred went away sad at heart. because they could not get inside. Every seat in the house was filled even to the boxes. Yet with this immense audience present. George NJ. Conan simply snapped his fingers at encores and treated the
 Waterbury public as though they were his menials and he the czar and dictator. And if the performance had been up to the standard there would not be any cause Of complaint. because he refused to recognize en- cores. The first act was the whole show and that act was exceedingly clever. Then came twenty-five minutes wait between the first act and the same wait between the sec ond act and many of the spectators asked flor what was this long de- lay- Certainly there vas nothing shown in the last two acts which would make even the most frantic enthusiast sit up and listen. Both those acts were dead ones and the only good thing about them was that they were short and the audience were not tortured too much. It vas a shame to treat large audience like that and George N. Cohan. Sam Har- ris et al vill remember it for many years to come.
 Although the demand for reserve seats for the production vas large. the real rush was when the crowd which had collected before the doors were oPenei tried to force its way into the gallery. The line vas per hap< the biggest ever seen endeavor- ing to find seats in the top gallery. At . o'clock there were about a dozen on hand and before s:se the rne was extending up to Brown street About ( o'cIock large number Of young ladies appeared and ss they thought they should be given the preference snd Efrolled up ro the head cf the Iine and forced their way in The fsl- loss did not care to art rouehly. but hey let 0uf all kiuds of yeln. teIIlne

 III:
 The MarQuise de Morny, niece of Napoleon III, made her debut on the stage at the Moulin Rouge on Janu- ary 3 in sketch called "A Dream of Egypt" written by herself. The house was crowded and there was much suppressed excitement until the curtain rose, when there was scene Of indescribable confusion, with ev- erybody screaming and shouting. The sketch was finally allowed to pro- ceed, but before many lines had been spoken missiles of every description were thrown from all parts 0f the house, even the footstools used in the boxes being hurled by strong armed and excited Frenchmen, who wished to show their disapproval of the ap- pearance on the stage of member of the aristOcracy. The demonstra- tion was so vehement that the act was removed from the bill.

this view, say that he was convict ed of serious ofense, that the trial judge being familiar with all the circumstances in the case, was more competent to fix his punish ment and to designate the place where be should serve out the sentence of his imprisonment, and that from the nature of his ofense he would be possible source ot corruption to the boys in the re- form school. The question, how ever, is by no means settled as to whether Harris shall remain in the state prison or be transferred to the reform school. The matter will probably be taken up at the next meeting of the penitentiary board.

JAILED FOR STEALING MEAT
White Woman Sentenced, But
 Released by Judge.
Mrs. Julia Abbott Pleads Guilty to Theft and Goes to Jail to Save Hus-
 band, It is Said.

Did Mrs. Julia Abbott plead guilty to petit larceny and enter upon a jail sentence to save an in-- doleut husband from the conse- quences of law? That is the be- lief, at least, of a number of cit izens living near Vilonia in the neighborhood where she lives. On her plea of guilty to stealing meat from l. B. Lankford, Mrs. Abbott was on Monday fined $25 and sen fenced to thirty days in the county jail by Justice of the Peace l.. E. Grunder. She was brought to Conway by Constable W.. C. Stocks and imprisoned in jail Monday night. Early the next morning Circuit Judge Eugene Lanktord learned of the affair and ordered tle woman released from custody.
 The stolen meat was missed by MT. Lankford Sunday morning, and he, it is said, discovered tracks leading to the Abbott house. He had a warrant issued for Abbott and the meat was found at Abbott's home. At the trial, however, Mrs. Abbott appeared, pleaded guilty to the theft and declared that her husband had no know ledge of it. The tracks found by MT. Lankford corresponded to Ab- bott's shoe. but the unfortunate woman testified that she had worn her husbands shoes. She was co-roborated by her two oldest children, who also pleaded guilty IS accomplices in the larceny. Up on hearing the evidence Esquire Grunder dismissed the case against Abbott and fined the woman $25 and 30 days in jail and the two children $Io and one minute in jail each.
 Constable Stocks, who brought Mrs. Abbott to jail Monday, said that he had never before been call ed upon to perform so hard an of-- 6cial duty during his term of office. He said the family consisted of husband and wife and six little children, one of whom was sick when the mother was taken away.
 The family, he said, are not in: absolute want, though very poor,. and the husband and father seem ed reluctant to work hard to better the condition of his family. While he had no direct evidence to that effect, MT. Stocks stated that the belief in the neighborhood was general that the theft was directed if not actually committed, by Ab- bolt himself
 In ordering Mrs. Abbott released from jail Tuesday, Judge Lankford said that if necessary he would pay tie woman $ fine himself. and jok- ingly remarked that Jailer Joe Harrison could serve out her inn prisonment The judge started a contribution for the relief of Mrs. Abbott and Treasurer J. K. Cid dens took up neat collection tor her benefit She returned to her home Tuesday afternoon.
