Elaborate preparations are being made at the Jacques for the produc- tion of "Graustark" which is to be given by Polls Own Stock company next week. To all readers of popular fiction, this romantic novel by George Barr McCutcheon is familiar It makes a dashing romance for the stage and has been cleverly dramatiz- ed by Miss Grace Hayward. The story of the Princess of Graustark and her acquaintance with the young American Grenfall Lorry is one which will appeal to theater goers. Richard Gordon will play the role of Lorry the young American who meets the princess when she is trav- cling incognito on railroad train and follows her to her Kingdom Miss Bruns will be seen as the prin- cess and the other members of the cast will have excellent parts. An added feature next week will be the appearance of Edward Weston the New York baritone, who will sing popular songs between the acts.

 ture With Big Circus.
 Grant and Gunther. the great clown hoboes, are doing a funny campfire stunt on the hippodrome track of Ringling Bros circus, which is full of side-splittfng comedy. A clown dog act and a burlesque Span ish bull fight, grotesque duel, a mirth-creating photograph gallery scene, John Skaters hilarious hand organ serenade, and burlesque tra- peze and acrobatic stunts by Horton and Linder, the Livingston trio, the Prosets and the three Marnos are some of the specialties that never fail to create laughter and applause. The comedy contingent of the or ganizatioE numbers fifty of the fun niest clowns that ever brought laughter tears to the eyes of the puh- lie. Their stunts are all new and up to date. George Hartzel's enactment of the tragedy at the monkey house. Jules Turnour's court martial tra- vesty, Al Miaco's pantomime of "The OuupOcud OctNCt D DliCtuhdt anu Dick Ford's moving day picture are a few of the comical specialties which are making people hold their sides with laughter
 When Ringling Bros circus ap- pears in Waterbury on Friday, June 21, the first event of interest will be the great three mile long parade. Every one of the 1.2S6 costumes. the trappings of the 65S horses and all the wagons, floats and chariots and other equipment are bright and new and of the costliest make. Tn every foot of the parade some novelty pre- sents itself and not one thing is to be seen that can be found anywhere else.
 Next in order is the splendid me-
 nagerie, which by recent additions has been made complete. Many specimens are to be seen there which are on exhibition nowhere else in the country, and the animals are all in the pink of condition. The regular performance is begun by a new spec ktacle and the many acts that follow lare the greatest ever seen under can vas.

LOBBY Is UNPOPULAR
Governor Warner, in His Second Mes
sage to the Michigan Legislature,
Discusses Several Questions Of Ma
tionaI Import and Interest.

Lansing, Mich, Jan. 3.-While large
ly devoted to state affairs, the second
message OF Governor Warner to the
Michigan legislature, read this after
noon. discusses several matters of ma
tional interest and Importance. He
recommended the appointment Of leg
islative committee to investigate the
freight car shortage question, in CO.
opera alton with the interstate commerce
commission; recommended placing
lines under the supervision of the state
railroad commissioners and urged the
elimination Of the professional lobby
ist, as means of public denouncing OF
any legislation designed solely to in
yite tribute from special interests;
amendment to the laws fixing 3 cents
a mile as the passenger fare on rail-
roads in the Upper Peninsula, except
in the case of few independent lines
earning less than $1,000 per mile; rec
commended the erection of binder
twine manufacturing plant at the state
prison at Jackson; indorsed the inde-
terminate sentence law for convicts,
and recommended that the require
ments of the Michigan pure food law
be made to conform to the national
pure food law so far as practicable.
The governor joined in the recommen-
dation Of a state railroad commissioner
that the state be given power to scrut-
inize and approve the issuance of all
railroad stocks and bonds, for the pur-
pose of preventing manipulation.
