DANNREUTHER ORCHESTRA.

The Dannreuther orchestra, COM
posed of 20 soloists of New York,
will furnish one of the numbers on
the program of the concert to be
given by st Johns Musical associa-
ton in Buckingham music hall, on
Tuesday evening, April %. The Or
chestra will also play the accom-
paniments for the numbers by Nine
Rosa Linde. one of the worlds
greatest contraltos, Giuseppe Picco,
italian grand opera baritone; and
those by the association. Mr. Damn
reuther will conduct the orchestra.
He is we'll known in Waterbury
through his connection with the
string quartet, bearing his name,
which has appeared in this city and
neighboring towns, several times.
Henry Dunn, the accomplished Wa
terbury pianist, has also been en-
gagged as one of the soloists for the
concert BY request. the association
will repeat The Lost Chord" which
was so we'll received at the concert
last year. Considering the increased
number of members and the added
experience in choral work which the
association has had, under the able
direction of its conductor, Isaac B.
Clark, a concert of high order of
merit is anticipated for the 2Sth.
Seats in all parts of the hall have
been placed at one dollar. Tickets
may be secured from members of
the association and at music stores,
to be exchanged for reserved seat
tickets at the Buckingham pharmacy
on or after Tuesday, April 81.

GUS kLEINEcKE MAKING GOOD.
waterbury Boy Gets Many Compile
49, ments For His Act.

! The Cincinnati Times-Star has the
Following good praise for young
kleinecke of this city:
The young man with the multiple
hands and the Kaleidoscope touch
and the List countenance, who pre-
sided at the center piano of the five
instruments in the Pianophiend"
act at the Columbia this week was
Gus Kleinecke. There is a tradi-
ton that List, in the midst of an
acrobatic selection of his own COM
position, when his hands were en-
gagged in a terrific struggle at either
end of the piano, used to touch
middle note with his nose in order
to give the finishing touch to the
harmonies. 1t would make a great
hit in vaudeville to-day, and the sug
gestion is given to Kleineclle free of
charge. Kleinecke is working for
Mr. Lasky. Mr. Lasky is working for
himself. But if all reports are true
he has several vaudeville acts up his
sleeve which will help to break the
intolerable monotony of the vaude
vile theater of the present day. To
quote, the vaudeville theater is the
same yesterday, to-day and forever.
But don't shoot the manager. lie is
no doubt doing the best he can. The
fault lies with the absence of origin
ality in the performers who originate
the acts. That is where Kleinecke
says Lasky is going to kick over the
traces and do things. Kleinecke was
for a long time the musical direc-
tor of musical comedy productions.
Although a young man, ne has writ
ten carloads of musical scores, and
had large share in developing the
.'Pianophiend" act, which, let us
hope, is the forerunner of other
equally good novelties. 'Vaude-
ville,' says he, lis going backwards,
unless some one injects new life into
it. An entire regeneration is need
ed. 1t would seem that the full eX-
tent of the possibilities Of present
acts has been reached. rhe cry is
for something new. One hope lies
in the big one-act plays like Charles
Hawtrey in Compromised and Hill
liard's sketch. | think you will find
that one-act musical comedies with
a requisite chorus, leading COM
edians, regular musical director,
will come strongly in favor. There
are few of them now, but next
season there will be more. Man
ayers are grabbing everything which
sounds new. They are paying good
money for them because they realize
as we'll or better than any one that
the life of vaudeville is newness.
And the value Of newness is getting
it first. See the point"

TWO JOLLY COMPANIONS

1.-TWO jolly Companions" will hold
the stage at Polls on Thursday after
noon and evening. Although this
being the first time the play has been
presented in this city its reputation
has preceded. 1t is a farcical play,
built on the same lines as MY Friend
From India" and many other Of the
latest comedy successes. Wherever it
has been presented it has kept the
audience laughing and made them
forget the cares of life. Perhaps one
Of the greatest reasons for its success
is due to the fact that it is entirely
free from anything that would offend
the most fastidious. 1t is clean, pure
and wholesome in its fun and yet
broadly farcical. Popular prices.

THE LAND DE NOD 1"

1t was not fully up to expecta-
tions, this musical extravaganza that
had been written of and talked of
and doomed so persistently for the
past few days. True there were
some bright and catchy numbers
scattered throughout the two acts.
but they were overshadowed by the
tiresome drags and uninteresting
dialogues that seemed TO permeate
the whole. The music, and there
was plenty of it, was catchy in some
of the numbers and there were sew
eral novelties introduced in the mat
ter of stage craft that seemed to Gre
ate an impression on the audience.
The scenic effects we're artistic and
we'll arranged. Knox Wilson as
April Fool and William Friend as
Welch Rarebit did a few clever
comedy stunts, the former being
particularly pleasing in his concer-
tina and saXaphone skits. The solo
work was nothing beyond the ordi-
nary with the possible exception of
William Strunz as Weather Man and
Grace Drew as Jack of Hearts, whose
numbers we're very well rendered.
There was something about the
whole extravaganza that would not
lift you into musical bliss.

catchy air and which the gallery

the audience would like to have her
sing someone shouted "Mariucci' and
a moment later the whistles were
more than busy. Thomas }. Ryan

is sequel to Mag Haggerty's FatR-

with bright lines. Ryan is very
clever comedian and depends upon nc
tomfoolery to bring out the laughs.
Clark, Bergman and Mahoney, singers
and dancers, are not afraid to WORK
and last night they were given good
hand. Willis and Hassan, sensation
al equilibrists, are in class by them
selves. Their feats though difficult
are done with smoothness and rapid
ity-all on the first attempt. Harry
Fentelle and Eddie Carr also do a
turn. Eldridge makes pictures with
sand and earns his money easily.

4 GREAT BRIDGE.
The One Just Finished at Hartford a
Splendid Stone Structure.

The last stone has been laid in the
construction of a stone bridge which
is destined TO take rank as one of
the greatest OF its kind in the world.
The bridge is over the Connecticut
river at Hartford. With its ap-
proaches il took nearly three years
to build and cost about $4,000, 900.
Ii is composed of nine spans hav-
ing maximum dimensions Of reach
Of 119 feet and clear height of
arch of As feet and is So feet wide
and has a total length Of 1,192.5
feet.
The famous London bridge. which
has hitherto ranked f-sJ among
stone bridges. is but So feet wide.
1 ,0O5 feet long and has i've arches.
with q longest span OF 15s feet and
a maximum rise of arch of s7.5 feet.
This Connecticut bridge Is not re-
maTkable for its length IF span, for
there are several stone bridges with
a span of more than zoe feet. but
these are generally narrow one span
structures. as, for instance. the
Cabin John creek bridge. carrying
the Washington aqueduet. which has
a span OF ZzO feet and = width Of
but twenty feet
Neither is it the longest bridge.
for there is the CongIeton viaduct.
in England. which has forty-one
arches and is 2.s70 feet long and Is
feet wide Although the Hartford
bridge is one of the widest bridges.
it is not any one feature that stamps
il great but q summary q size Of
arch. Of length and breadth. CON-
bined vith its perfection Of stree
ture and symmetry of outline. that
makes plain the claim Of superiority.

Grandma Punished Him.

"Things can't go on this way and
that's all there is about it," said Mrs.
Townsend when her aged husband re-
turned home from the office late one
evening in November.
well, what's the matter now?" he
asked.
"Just read this" she answered SOL
emily, handing the old gentleman a
page of folded notepaper.
II don't see much the matter with
that" he returned after reading 1t
carefully and putting his spectacles
back in his case.
"You don't see much the matter with
that" she exclaimed Mortified. The
teacher writes that he's disobedient,
that he eats candy in the school room,
that he throws paper wads, that he
answers back; and still you don't see
anything the matter with that. l sup
pose you're waiting for the time when
he will be ready to burn down the

grave that will fit him for the peni-

The old man, knowing his wife and
understanding that. she really wanted
to be convinced that things weren't
half as bad as she made them out to
be. replied with smile: "Well, did
things just as bad as that when I was
a boy and 1 managed to escape the
penitentiary without much trouble"
"But it's no sign she will just be-
cause you did"

Encouraging Bad Banking.

The scheme would be unjust to the
stockholders of we'll managed banks,
for 1t would cut into their profits to
protect people who do not do business
with them, TO whom they are under no
litigation, and who have preferred to
rust banks Of inferior standing; for
Insurance would tend either to raise
he rate of discount or lower profits.
rhe tax must be paid by somebody.
The banks will try to throw it upon
their customers. II, on account of
competition for business, they fail in
doing this. they will have to reduce
their dividends. The bank which Is on
the margin Of profltableness will take
risks to avoid this loss. 1t will be en-
couraged to do this by the fact that
it Is relieved from responsibility to it's
depositors. Bankers are human and
there are many OF them as there are
many people in other walks Of life, who
when they are under the pressure of
immediate responsibility. are likely to
live up to it; but who are likely to
take risks that they would not other
wise take when they feel that in do
ng so they are not sacrificing interests
committed to their care.
In another way, too, the plan will

FOR this same relief from responsibility
will lead weak banks to try to enlarge
heir deposits. The larger their de-
,osits, OF course, the greater their prof
t. The more they are relieved from
the necessity of caring for their de-
,osits the more likely will they be. as
ready remarked. to seek a larger
rofit. even tho at a greater risk The
heme is likely therefore, to promote
peculation and bad banking. 1t will
