Has Created a Sensation All Through the Western
 Territory
BY PHENOMENAL DEMONSTRATIONS
Will Give a Series of Free EnteItaiR- ments and Band Concerts On Bank St Show Grounds Con-
 menCing Moa May s tn.

If reports are true Waterbury will be visited by an individual who is fast establishing national reputa- 'tion for himself. The man in ques- tion is the Great Vurpillat, who has aroused all the cities of the west by his theories and the extensive sale of his preparations.
 Vurpillat is president of the Vur- pillat Medicine company, of South Bend, Ind, and has made within the past few years, estimated at several millions by the sale of two prepar- !ations which are claimed to be very unusual, and which are said to ac- complish remarkable results.
 Vurpillat spends his time travel ing from city to city introducing these remedies and in this manner he has acquired the fortune he now pos sesses. He is said to be a very re- eccentric ideas; one of his beliefs is that a certain part of his income should be devoted to charitable work, and he is said to give thousands of dollars to the poor in each city that he visits.
 His charitable work is original, as he is continually devising new meth- ods for making his money give the most pleasure and relief possible.
 The most remarkable feature of Vurpillat's work is the phenomenal demonstrations made nightly upon his platform. In cities visited by him within the past year he has ap- peared nightly before large audi .ences and offered to make any one hear within less than three minutes if they would come upon the stage. All during his series of lectures and free entertainments which will be given on the Bank street show grounds, beginning Monday, May 6, invitations will be extended nightly to all. who may be suffering from deafness. rheumatism, stiff or swollen joints or paralysis to step upon his platform and receive free demonstra- tions.
 Each night he is said to have re- moved before thousands of people, cases of deafness in about three min utes' time with one of his prepara- tions. The accounts of his work ap- peared in all of the leading dailies of the country, and people have floeked to him from all parts. The sale of his preparations are said to reach enormous proportions within week after Vurpillat arrives in a city. Whether he will be as ,suc- cessful in Waterbury as elsewhere remains to be seen.

IRISH EXPOSITION.
Lord Lieutenant Opens International
 Fair at Dublin.

Fair at Dublin.
 DUBLIN. May 4.-The Irish Interna- tional exhibition. which was opened with elaborate ceremonies here today by the lord lieutenant of Ireland and many notables. is an event of far reaching interest to Ireland, as 1t is designed to revive the trade interests of the country and at the same time present a picture of Irish development and progress.
 Men of all classes. creeds and poll. tics. headed by the Marquis of Or mond. worked indefatigably, a guaran- tee fund of nearly $l,0C0.000 was raised and an exposition ecllpslng any thing previously attempted in Ireland is now open.
 The site, which is within easy reach of Dublin, is convenient to the fine grounds of the Royal Dublin society at Ballsbridge, and the fifty acres it embraces contain numerous buildings of great beauty and extent. The most imposing of these is the large central hall. with its vast dome lJO feet in height. which has a diameter very lit- tIe less than that of St. PauI's. It is the first object in the group to catch the eye of the visitor arriving from Holyhead. IL commands a view of Dublin and Kingston harbor and on clear day may be plainly discerned while the steamer is yet many miles ont of Kingston. The beautifully wooded grounds. which sut a short time ago were a great open space. have been completely transformed. aHd they ars for the greater part covered by substantial looking structures.
 The Central palace. which occupies tho center of the park. k built fin the Italian Renaissance style. Four rec tsHEsIIar wings radiatp from 1t and are devoted tO Irish manEfacturgd prod nets. The Palace of Industries is a huge buildiTg. largely occupied hy Irish manufacturers. Jut Italian and Jaaanese exhibitors have important sections 'n this building. while New Zealand has a fine exhibit in the Cen trsl palace.

Delmas handed her several photos and asked
her by whom they posed. Mrs Thaw said

Delmas showed Mrs. Thaw letter and asked

Jerome said:

Decidedly yes.''
And she holds a position in the best society

alarmist, but the popular temper of the
people of Japan is such that / believe

STRUCTURAL IRON WORKERS
KEPT BUSY.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 31.-The last
season has been a record breaker for
the structural iron workers union,
and there has never been time since
the building season opened last spring
when enough men were available to
meet the demand. So far there has
been no let up in the call for men.
Not only does this apply to local con-
ditions, but outside calls have been
numerous.
Last Wednesday Business Agent
Charles N. Beum sent a crew of seven
men to Valley City, N. D., where 4
large viaduct contract is under way.
More than 5000 tons of steel will be
used in the work and the job will
last all winter. On Thursday evening
Mr.. Beum started a crew Of ironwork-
ers for Nacozari, Mexico, where they
will be employed on a big contract
secured by the Minneapolis Steel &
Machinery company, and will be em-
ployed all winter.
Several calls have been received
from North Dakota for men for bridge
work, and these Mr.. Beum has been
unable to fill. $685., :.
