MrSIC FESTIVAL

Perhaps the most popular of the two instrumental concerts which will be given during the music festi- val. May 13 and IA. will be the mati- nee on Tuesday. when the Damrosch orchestra will play the Tschaikowsky
 'Pathetique" symphony and Chariot te Maconia will sing. In Mime Maconda the festival committee has engaged an artist of the very highest repute one whom it was a positive privilege to secure. To those who love soprano voice of great flexibil- ity and delicious quality. Mime Ma conda's singing will be worth going far to hear. In all probability the out-of-town attendance will be great est at this afternoon musical func- tion. but 1t is by no means a concert which Waterbury people should ne glect. The TschaikOwsky symphony alone would be well worth going to hear. for it is this highly inspired composers most inspired effort. bis ''swansong.- the last important work he composed before his tragic death in 1898. shortly after his visit to America.

VAUDEVILLE.

1 This is the final week of vaudeville at the Jacques for this season, and the show is much better than one
 would imagine would be on the
 boards for the finale. It is typical
 variety program and is sure to
 please. It is headed by the Kita
 Banzai troupe. one of the best ever seen in this city. The Japs do some
 very good feats and send their act
 off with a finish that is refreshing. Their equilibrium and juggling
 drew them much applause last even ing. The Big City quartet makes the
 mistake of almost all quartets in try ing to be funny instead of simply singing. The four were given the glad hand for their singing and would make a much better impression if they ceased endeavoring to be funny. | Theater goers are not surprised at anything they see on the stage now adays, but few of them opened their eyes last evening during Wat sons farmyard number. The act opens with Watson and donkey on the stage and for the first few min
 utes is very boresome, Watson being anything but funny. But when the
 roosters with their "cock-a-doodle- do" and the dogs come out and act as though they were right to home, the audience opens up and gives the number hearty welcome. Real live ducks that wobble around the stage and pig which can squeal like some xrh thnu nat cn.tnlnhnI tribute much comedy, the pig espe- cially causing a barrel of laughs. Ward and Curran in their old sketch, ''The Terrible Judge" again scored heavily, and notwithstanding the number of times they have appeared in this city in the same number, they made almost as big hit as any other number. They have some new stuff which is mighty good, but their act could be cut a couple of places. Nora Kelly, down on the program as '.The Girl from Dublin," failed to make good last evening. Her make up is anything but attractive, and her singing is nothing to enthuse over. Because I'm Married" was not half bad, and it was her best number. Mir and Mrs Allison are seen again in their old skit, Minnie from Minnesota" For anyone who has not seen 1t before the sketch is enjoyable. Charles and Nellie King perform the opening number, sing ing and dancing. They have their position on the bill all right. So long, 'vaude!

MISS ELLEN TERRY.

The distinguished English actress Miss Ellen Terry and her London company will be seen at Pol1's s Thursday evening in George Bernard Shaw's brilliant play Captain Brass bounds Conversion" The dis tinguished lady is now. in her sixtieth year and has been upon the stage since she was eights years of age. There is no division of opinion among critics in any part of the English speaking world as to the position she occupies, and as to the measure of her fame in future history. They unite in declaring that she is the greatest actress the English-speaking stage has ever known and some of them, such as William Winter of the New York Tribune, and the late Clement Scott of London, who for 50 years were the leading critics of their respective countries, go still further and predict that she will never have an equal. The opinion of these critics has been confirmed by the public, as to the past, and doubt less many of them share in their opinion as to the future. Prices 20 cents to $2. No free list.

in the language of sneezes, coughs and agitated consonants. it was always a toss-up with us whether we properly convicted and punished the real of. lenders, or some wholly innocent par. tres who were present at and enjoying the various trials.
 We never care to know just how far justice has miscarried in such cases, but in one case that recently was brought before us, we are certain that substantial justice was done.
 It chanced that one Wtolszkowski, through an interpreter. secured a bench warrant calling for the arrest of one Butskensz for beating. bruis. ing. wounding and illtreating said Wtolszkowski and other wrongs to him then and there doing. contrary to the form of the statute, etc" Armed with this warrant the officer haled the protesting and fur-hatted foreigner into court, and safely anchored him fo his good right arm.
 When the court convened the inter. preter was sought and found in most abandoned state of intoxication. and recumbent on the floor of tho living. room in his modest tenement. and dead to all living languages. except the rancous snore peculiar to the slumbering inebriate.
 Ordinarily the disqualification of the official interpreter in such a case would have completely nullified the power of the court, until drastic meas ures to put the interpreter in running order could be used, but in this case, signal relief was at hand.
 There was at that time on duty at our residence jolly. rotund and ex- ceedingly honest and intelligent Ger. man woman. She spoke excellent German and also had a fluent com. mand of Polish. To her in our heip- iessness and perp,exity we turned for aid.
 Ordering the courtroom cleared of all save the officers. the parties. and the witnesses. we ordered a change of venue. and adjourned to the kitchen of our house. which was at that time the seat of operations of Frau Kurtz. the rosy German
 Great was the astonishment of our wife and huge the dismay of the house girls at seeing a procession invading the kitchen. headed by the chief of police in uniform. escorting the com plainant. suitably decorated with ( black eye and an abrasion of the pro boscis. and followed by two rounda men having ia charge the wIld-eyed respondent and followed by Polish immigrants galore.

(Copyright. by Joseph B. Bowles.) )

NopyTISnt, py JOsepn B. BOWIes.) A few years ago the first detach. ment of Poles who deslred to make Exeter their permanent abiding place Y arrived in our little town.
 They were accompanied by their household goods and gods, and a strong smell of schnapps, sauerkraut and mingled emotions, which pene. trated every nook and cranny of their neighborhood and, temporarily at least, marked them apart from other men.
 Their children, of whom there was an astonishing number, roamed the streets at will, and displayed most remarkable ability in learning our language.
 Within a week after their arrival they had accumulated a surprising vo- cabulary of "cuss" words, and at the end of fortnight were accomplished and most ornate little blasphemers
 Since that time these people have thriven exceedingly, and by natural increase and frequent importation of new blood from the fatherland, have founded a flourishing colony of their own, have adopted to certain ex. tent our language, our customs. and our secondhand garments.
 On Sundays, holidays, funerals and other festal occasions, they affect gar. ments of lurid hues and grotesque fit, in which they take great pride.
 They are in the main industrious, sober and law-abiding people, who live frugally on herrings and black bread. and thereby accumulate prop. erty, and their sole dissipation appears to be Saturday evening dances at their homes, at which entertainments, schnappski. rumski and beerski flow freely, and occasionally domestic diff. faculties occur, which are aired on Monday morning in our police court.
 In this way we have gained fairly intimate acquaintance with some of them, and lowing acquaintance with the entire colony of several hundred, all of whom regularly attend the Sat. urday evening festivities and the re- sulting police court proceeding.

In Regard to
Race Suicide

BLOOMINGTON, Illinois. October
l1.-Nearly 300 delegates present at
the conference Of the Illinois FEEDER
alton Of Women's clubs yesterday,
heard from Mrs Adlai Stevenson,
wife OF the former vice-president
the humane" side Of the race stu
alton in an argument.
There is no thoughtful woman in
America, said Mrs. Stevenson,
who has not been more than start
led by the appeal for larger families.
While this appeal has been most
urgent. | did not recall that there
has been one word in reference TO
the health or life OF the mother, nor
has the ability OF the mother ply
sically, mentally, morally, spiritual
~ or financially to rear children been
touched upon.
The question should not be how
many children, but their condition
and what kind of citizens they will
make. The plea that some thought
should be given to prolonging the
life of the mother and thus protect
the babes, should occupy first place
in the work of the mother clubs
The size of the family is of less i'm
pOrtance.

NEVADA'S
new BISHOP
Rev. Henry Douglas Rob
inSon, d. .. Receives
the Appointment

The Rev Henry Douglas Robinson,
d. D., OF the diocese of Milwaukee,
has been elected bishop of the Episco-
pal Church in Nevada by the General
Convention in session at Richmond,
Va. Our people will be interested
in the following account of his ca
reer. After graduating from Racine
college, Wisconsin, in 1854, he came
west to California, and became pro
fessor in St. Matthew's Military
Academy at San Mateo. He was
made deacon by Bishop Kip in 1886
and ordained priest by Bishop Wing,
field in 1883 In 1889 he was elected
president OF Racine College, which
position he has held continuously
since that time. He has come to be
regarded as one Of the most learned
and prominent priests Of the Episco-
pal church in the middle west; and
a few months ago, he came within
two or three votes Of being chosen
bishop of his own very important
diocese OF Milwaukee.
The Rev c. H. Powell, rector OF
S.. Peters Church. has this to say
OF the bishop-elect: 4 am delighted
with the choice OF the General Con
ve.-cion for the Nevada bishopric.
Dr.. Robinson is man Of nigh scholar
ly attainments and OF splendid char
acter. His ideals OF the Christian
Church are the very best, and | am
sure that he Will carry them out in
the administration of the Church in
Nevada to its great advancement and
the glory OF God. Being familiar
with our western life, he will be
easily adaptable to the conditions of
church work in this missionary ter
ritory. Every rector in Nevada will
rejoice at the news OF his election
as our bishop, and every layman in
the state will. be charmed with him
on making his acquaintance
