EMPIRE woMEN's ORCHESTRA.
Splendid Sunday Night Concert a
 the Buckingham Hall.


 It was too bad that there was not a larger attendance at the Bucking- ham hall last evening to listen to the grand concert which was given by the Empire Women's orchestra or Boston under the management or George w. Smith. Those who did attend, however, enjoyed one of the best musical treats that Waterbury has been accorded in many years. Every number on the programme was enthusiastically encored, as it de- served. Miss Rita Mario, the con ductor, was given a warm welcome on her first appearance, for she has made many friends since her arrival in this city. No leader of an orches- tra could have accomplished more than did Miss Mario last night, as she carried her young lady musicians through the various selections in faultless time and perfect accord. At the conclusion of the first part of the programme Miss Mario was pre- scented with some floral emblems as a mark of respect from some of her friends.
 Of the soloists nothing but words of praise can be said. Miss Florence Conner, the concert mistress, as q violinist, equals any lady musician ever heard in this city. Her execG- tion was exquisite and won the ad- miration of all present. Her obligato accompaniment to- the solo singing was one of the gems of the evening" Perhaps one number that shone out as brightly as any on the programme was the cello solo of Miss Katherine Halliday in the overture from Will liam Tell" It was given one of the mol. enthusiastic expectations of the night. Miss Gertrude Burley, while not down on the solo pro- gramme, could be heard to good ad- vantage in the orchestral selections because of her splendid work with the clarionet. Another gem of the evening was the cornet solo playing by Miss Maud Hopkins Erode. The audience would not have tired if Miss Erode had continued to answer to the repeated encores she was given. The concluding selection of the evening by the entire orchestra, An American Abroad" descrip- tive fantasie, was another treat in the musical numbers of the plight Robert Bailey was an able addition to the programme and those who have heard him sing on many prior occasions said last night that he had never sung to better advantage nor were his selections more aptly made. He received his share of the encomi- ums of the night.
 The following is the personnel of the ochestra;
 Rita Mario, conductor; first violins, Florence Conner, concert mistress, Anna Eichorn, Anna Simpson, Fran cis Lowe, Harriet Litchfield, Mar jorie Bryce; second violins, Isabell Martin, Bertha Eichler; viola, Flor ence Hall; cello, Katherine Halliday; bass. Bertha Turner; harp, Gertrude Clifford; flute, Florence Beckett; clarionets, Gertrude Burley, Jean Jeffers; comets, Maud Hopkins Erode, Alice Batchelder; trombones, Mabel Hopkins, Mildred Southwick; drums, traps and tympani, Bernice Benson.

STATE ASYLUM FULL.
Judges Are Notified Not to Commit
 More Patients to Institution.

The state asylum for the insane at Middletown is so crowded that it is now possible to receive any more patients there. This condition has become a matter of such grave con- cern that the superintendent, acting under the advice of the attorney gen. eral, has sent a circular letter to all the judges of probate in the state cautioning them against sending any more insane people to the institution. The circular received by Judge John O. Thayer follows:
 Middletown, Conn. Judge John Q. Thayer.
 Dear Sir: The patients now in this hospital are so largely in excess of the number it was calculated to accommodate, that a proper regard for the safety and health of the in- mates forbids further overcrowding. As under similar circumstances be- fore, it again becomes necessary to announce that patients can be re- ceived only as vacancies occur by re- movals. and that no private patients are admitted. Applications for the admission of patients must be made to the hospital before hand, and they will be filed and notified to come in regular turn as rapidly as vacancies can be provided. 1 am,
 Very truly yours,
 HENRY s. NOBLE,
 Superintendent"
 The attorney general in his opin- ion gives authority to judges to commit insane people to some pri- vate asylum or hospital deemed suit able. The opinion also states that if the judges of probate in the state do not heed the directions of the su- perintendent he may send all pa- tients received back to the town from which they are sent for com mitment to some other institution.

BRYANONTHE MORAL ELEMENT
Thinks Country Is GOIng Back 10 Doctrines
OF jackson and Jefferson. W

OMAHA. Neb., Jan. 8.--The Jacksonian
Club tonight gave it's seventeenth annual
banquet. The speakers were W. J. Bryan,
Congressman Hitchcock of Omaha, Gov.
Thomas Of Colorado and /. J. Dunn Of
Omaha.
Mr. Bryan spoke on The Moral Element
in Pending Issues In part he said;
Not since the war have party lines hung
so loosely. and this is the natural result
when the voters become earnest in their
desire that wrong shall No overthrow
and right vindicated.
People differ as TO the relative importance
OF the different issues. some placing trusts
first, some regarding the tariff question as
paramount and others believing the rail-
road question most important. But the
fact is that they all point to the same issue
and that those who take the people'1 side
on one Of these questions are likely to take
the peoples side on either of the other two
For years the Republican leaders sup
ported their policies by adroit appeals TO
the interests of the different classes, and
with a press subservient to predatory
wealth they have deceived and delIdea
many voters,
They are not prepared to defend their
position on any public question before
the bar OF tn public conscience. Some
Of the more Independent Of the Republicans
realize this and are utterinR words of warn
ing, but the Republican leaders are as blind
as Pharaoh.
-In multitude Of ways the moral senti-
nent is manifesting Itself. and unless the
signs Of the times are misleading there
is going TO be "A return to the Jefiersonian
and Jaclxsonian doctrine Of equal rights
to all and special privileges to none"
