EAGLES, MONARCH FAIR.

+ The best fair ever given by the
 Eagles is the general verdict of those
 who have attended one of the night
 sessions. The big crowd present last night, crowd which packed the hall to the doors, were all of the same Iopinion. The entertainment part of the programme had them all going last evening The Nilsson aerial bal let girls are improving at every per- [formance and they astonished and wildered those in attendance. It Is one of the prettiest scenes ever en- acted in midair and with the electri- cal effects, surpasses anything of the
 kind seen in this city. Zella, the little dwarf. the Salome dancers and the various other attractions are meeting with general favor and are well patronized. It was a very happy |throng that was present last evening and how they did enjoy everything. The dancing was well patronized and the music was all that could be de- sired. But 1t Is well to remember
 now that the last day is approaching, Ithat if you have not yet secured a bunch of the souvenirs you should do so at once. If you do not you
 will have the pleasure or ,displeasure
 of seeing some of your neighbors or friends carry home the golden eggs. The piano race is hot contest and the. young ladies are still running neck and neck. The instrument is
 worth making a. fight for and the young ladies know it.

RRoNKrE FOR THIRD BASE

South Manchester, Oct. 23.-Un- less Herman Manchester Bronkie chages his mind he will not again be a pitcher. but instead will play the dizzy corner, a position which he looked after with Waterbury during the flag end of the season just closed. Having arrived at this conclusion he has started to work on new con- triyance which will aid him in this work. The machines which he has invented, the inverted bath tub, used to aid him in securing control while pitching, and the batting machine. which gave him practice in fielding bunts and hard hit grounders, not to say anything about the outf1eld flies are different than what he finds he will need if he is to play the third sack. While he has formulated plans he is not yet ready to make them public, as he fears that someone might wish to. infringe upon his pat ents. He is not going to work in the shops this winter, but will re- main on the farm in Hilltown, get strong and work on his new inven. tion

THE ELKs MARCHING ONWARD

The Elks good ship is coming in- to port laden down with the golden treasures, which her crew have won in many lands. On shore the herds of horned brethren are gathered to welcome the. treasure ship and dis tribute the gifts with generous hands, That distribution can only be made to those who have the cards of admission to the charmed circle. Those little charms can be. found in the possession. of any of the good Elks. You can see them for in spection and digest well what they tell you. They have magnetism about them that must of necessity permeate your system and make you long to gobble up all that you can find. Some of them will be found -on the right side of the ledger. when the day comes for the balancing of the books. If they do strike you in the right financial spot. you will have cause to bless the day, you first met an Elk and had him cross your palm with the little card boards that he has in every pocket. Wouldn't q nice trip to the old country be just the proper eaper. My how you would enjoy yourself and kiss the blarney stone for more of the same kind of luck. Then. too, you might take across with you the grand aur tomobile. which the Elks will pre- sent to some one at, the close of the fair. The people are going out of their senses since they got good view of that machine. It is mine" each one exclaims as he or she goes over the fine points of the machine It Is beauty and no mistake and 1t is no wonder the people are so anx- ious to get one of the charts that may hold for them the lucky star. Go down and take look at it in Yeo- mans garage on Scovill street and you will be just as crazy as the rest of them. It will be just the thing to take your family out for an airing in and when you are dashing over the country. roads, you may feel grateful to this little story for tel ling you about 1t.

THE INSTITUTE FREE CHORUS.
Large Registrations Promise Success
 full Winters Work.


 MT. Yeager, who will become d. rector of the free chorus of the Wa terbury Institute of Craft and Indus try, is we'll and favorsbly known as a chorus director In New York city and in Chicago. Previous. to making Waterbury his home and becoming d business man, his professional sue cess was especially marked. For a series of years he directed the music of the church of the Saviour, New York. This is one of the largest choirs in that city, with two quar- tettes added. The Mott Avenue Methodist Episcopal church choir, New York, also was directed by MT Yeager. as was the choir of the Studebaker Memorial church, Ch!- cago.
 The Waterbury Institute is for tunate in having secured the services of MT Yeager to train its free chorus. Rehearsals will occur weekly, on Fri day evenings, at 7:45 o'clock. The first rehearsal will be this week on October 23. During the winter pup lie concerts will be given in suita- ble hall where the musical work or the Institute may be shown in full chorus, also in part songs, quartettes, trios, duets and in solo. Choruses from popular operas will be sung. In the Institute hall occasional concerts will be given for the invitation Of friends and prospective members or the chorus, or for the benefit or the Institute.
 New music will be used and the work will be such that students may anticipate the realization, of every singers dream-to learn to sing, what to sing. and to appear at ease and dignified in the rendition or songs before an audience. A feature of the rehearsals will be five minute talks on many subjects that pertain to one of the great arts, singing.
 All young women who may wish to join the chorus should make appll- cation at the Institute office and reg .ister A willingness to devote one evening each week to practice is the chief qualification for admission to the chorus.

savage thing to beat weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
In treating tho tagging, torpid liver it is
a great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them i'm working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures of "liver
trouble by it's wonderful control of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t re-
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretions of the blood-mak-
ing glands, cleanses the system from poi

the detection OF other organs.
