oRAToRIo CONCERT.

Very little has been said in the ad- vance announcements of the Water bury Oratorio Society's concert in Music Hall, The Buckingham. next Tuesday night. about John Young, the tenor soloist of the evening. Mir Young. we'll known to the New York concert stage. is no stranger to Wat erbury, either. Some six years ago he sang at an oratorio performance in the First church, when his voice was much admired. It has devel oped notably meanwhile and those who hear him at the concert next week will hear a tenor voice of love- ly quality. of sufficient power for the work it is called upon to do, and ad- mirably trained. He will sing for one thing, the tenor solo in Parker's "The Dream King and His Love" and for another the obligato part in Bruch's "Jubilate Amen" both num- bers which the chorus is to render.
 Tickets are selling we'll at the Buckingham Pharmacy and the hall promises to be we'll filled on the night of the concert. Good seats at 75cents are still to be had. and the purchase of those at that price is recommended as best located for hearing the music to the greatest advantage. Only a few of the s1. seats are left. The 50 cent seats will go on sale Monday morning at s o'clock.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

The biggest vaudeville show this season including three headline acts.
 will be seen at the Jacques next week. The Phays in their sensational exposure of the spiritualism act of Anna Eva Fay will be the headliner. The Phays will receive all kinds of questions and will give answers to them just as the original Pays did and will then expose the manner in which the thing is done. This act of the Phays has created much interest in all the big cities and 1t is an in- teresting as we'll as m amusing expo sition of the work of splritualistic me diums which have been practiclug for the past p years. The Willis family will he another feature. This is family of accomplished musicians who have been big success in Eng land and have been cordially received in this country. The other big act is Max Wits singing colleens, four real Irish girls. who in the original garb of the Irish lassie. will sing all the old and new Irish classic airs. Ray mond and Caverly. the best Dutch comedians in 'Swivil Service" Clay ton Kennedy and Muttie Rooney in their new act, Jean Ardell and her picks and the electrograph complete the bill.

time she has produced such well known successes as No Mother to Guide her." 'Tn the Shadow of the Gallows" and "A Girl of the Streets T Her latest work, "A Mans Broken Promise" has all the absorbing in- terest of plot, spirited action and clever comedy that established the vogue of its predecessors. The piece is in four acts. Prices. matinee IT and 25 cents. Evening 25, 35 and 90 cents. Seats now on sale.
 THE GIRL FROM THE RANCH ?
 George Heath has written a play which comes to Polls Wednesday February IS. matinee and night, that drives straight at the hearts of those who go to the theater to see some thing besides dazzle, display and "whoop-up." "The Girl from the Ranch" Is human, elegant and whole some. It bubbles with fun and streams with deep interest. There is a plot that is strong and probable; |; the persons of the drama talk like sensible folks, there are thrilling dramatic sitautions. and there is a love story that wins. All the ele- ments of success as charming play are in The Girl from the Ranch. :" Prices, matinee 15 and 25 cents, evening 25, 35 and 50 cents.

Benny on the Goldfish.

The codfsh is large. salty fish. It comes in dry slabs, which you buy at the grocery store, and has a strong smell. When mixed with mashed DO tato 1t can be eaten without fear, al. though I would rather have custard pie. The codhsh is a native of the ocean, and Is caught by bear>ed men who smoke pipes and have great rough hands. In its wild state 1t mingles freely with other fish, and will sometimes eat them when pro. voked or if 1t is suffering from the bangs of hunger. My Uncle Jared once knew a man who lived for six weeks on codnsh and water, to cure himself of dyspepsia. It cured him of the dyspepsia, but 1t gave him the dropsy. This shows that, everything has some use. Let us be kind to our fellow creatures, obey our parents. and we may live to old age. respected by all. The codfish has fms and scales and is all stringy inside.-"Benny," in Chicago Tribune.

1.-THE COUNTY FAIR. l"

Neil Burgess himself will appear with each and every performance in "The County Fair" which will be seen at Polls Tuesday, February 12, matinee and night. This remarkably successful example of country life, while partaking in large measure of the characteristics of The Old Homestead" does not fully reach its level. The Old Homestead" presents an evolution of character and incident accomplished on a broad basis, while "The County Fair" represents the building of a drama on a particular incident of a sensational nature. The race scene is a remarkable piece of realism, four horses mounted with jockeys are shown running apparently at top speed. Prices, matinee 15. 25 and 50 cents, evening 25, 35. 50. 75 and $1.
