"THE PRINCE OF PILSEN."
That will b Jin
able entertainment which will be of
rered at Poll's this evening la Henry
W. Savage's production of -The rrince
of Pilsen.' It is full of snap, sparkle
and fun, the music is catchy, the cos
tuming and investiture most entranc
ing, and to set it all off Mr Savage
brings his own "Prince of Pilsen" or
chestra to lend effect to the music.
John W. Ransone in the role of Hans
Wagner, the German brewer .. from
Cincinnati, has given the stage a new
type of German, doing as much, per
haps, as any other one thing to make
'The Prince of Pilsen" the extraordinary-success
It has proved. Those
who go to Poll's this evening may
count themselves sure of- having a
most enjoyable time. Prices . are 25.
CO cents, $1 and $1.50.
JAPAN AND KOREA.
. The Eau Tour, -which will be given
t Poli's to-morrow night, wherever it
has visited has been given great praise
from an educational standpoint, and
after a person has visited one of its
presentation's they brine away with
them a good and truthful idea of the
country n they have b een .- visiting.
! There is ho tour so popular in England
and this country as "Raus," he has
the faculty of Stoddard, in making
things clear. The visit through Japan
to-morrow night In Polls will be a
rare treat The graphic account of
the Jan and his surroundings, the ex
cursion round-about the seat 'of war,
and a true description of Port Arthur,
showing the Russian -warships and the
disabled RetJzivan and Variag, coupled
with the duel of warships off Chemul
po. The illustrated songs of John B.
Moran will be ra special feature. He
"will sing. New York's latest balla,
"You're as Welcome as the blowers in
May." John Moriar,ty will render the
"Bells of Shandon,'! with Illustrations
of the Shandon cathedral and good old
Cork. Twenty-iive . cents, any part of
the bouse.
; "WHY GIRLS LEAVE HOME."
. ThiCbovel melodramas will have two
(performances at ; Poli's Monday af ter-
noon and evening, and should prove
t splendid holiday attraction. The
play is by Fred Summerneld, and the
story Is just a simple representation
of the happenings of almost every
household fortunate- enough to . pos-
'sess a daughter whose futikii 4?bo ie
considered above all else. It is noth
ing, in common -with the figments of
the. Imaginative mind and Is handled
"With the utmost reverence and deli
cacy, dealing as It does with the
Vents of the life of a young girl and
u subject so interesting to all human;
!ity. . And Mr Summerfleld has ion
Aar1rnr In hla Ta rwHIInn' t-nn TTa "haa
! done something which at first blush
might 6eem to border , close to the bor
der line, but which by reason of the
great; "delicacy with "which " one - cer
tain scene Is handled and the ' deep
reverence wiucii is aispiayea in us en
actment becomes a most impressive
situation. The play is well supplied
.with scenic and mechanical effects,
end the cast is a large and adequate
"one. , Prices are popular. '
; , A CHINESE HONEYMOON.
Considerable attention is being di
(tected to Sam S. Shubert and Nixon
Wfo Zimmerman's production of "A CM-'
Jinese Honeymoon," Tuesday evening
at Poll's, because of the great record
jjths musical comedy has made. It
(has had a. remarkable success, not
jronly. in London, but at the Casino,
pew York, where- it ran over four
hundred and five performances, a rec
I ord that no musical corned y;." Pirns'
equalled -the past two years. -It is en
tirely void of suggestlveness of any
wrt, and neither tights nor short
dresses are worn. The company com
ing here is the original New York Ca
islno company, including such popular
' favorites as, Katie Barry, William
Pruette, May DeSousa, Julia Sander-
eon, George Brodprick and a chorus
of- seventy-five. The sale of seats
.opens Monday at CO, 75 cents,- $1 and

?and those who haven t yet seen, this
most beautiful of Irish comedy acts
should take advantage of this final op-
portunlty. For his headliner next
week Manager Poll has selected the
JTour Lukens, Europe's most sensation

act that, while exciting and hair-raising
to an extreme degree, is yet won
derfully attractive and fascinating.
anJ they have made a tremendous
fiuccess during t.ieir tour of America,
manager Poll has had them under
contract for his circuit almost from
the moment of their arrival in this
icounrry a year ago, but this is the
first opportunity he has had to present
them in Waterbury. There Is little

sensation here as they have every
where else that they have appeared.

Theatrical
Chatter. !
A story went the rounds last week
that AndreAv Mack would make an
Australian trip In 1905.
Hale Hamilton, who plays one of
the parts in "The Pit," is the husband
of Jane Oaker, the leading woman.
Miss Oaker is a St Louis girl, the
daughter of Christian Peper, a large
tobacco manufacturer. Her name was
Minnie Peper, which she changed
when she adopted the stage.
Manager Stetson's shrewdness was!
illustrated on one occasion by his or
der to the office boy who announced
that there were two men in the outer
office awaiting an Interview. On
learning their names Stetson remem
bered them to be two brothers who
were managers, and known to oe tue
cleverest in the business at , getting
the ' best of others In all theatrical
bargains. "Show1 them In," he com- j
manded the boy, but significantly i
added, "one at a time." ;
n i
Sir Henry Irving made an lndlg- j
nant protest against "jacks in office" j
in a certain speech to a Chicago audi-1
ence last Saturday night He was j
shocked at the poor light effects in hia i
plays, at political grafters, and at the j
greed of managers in raising the !
price of gallery seats to $1 . He said ,
among other things: "And I would j
like it to be thoroughly understood oy
you that sometimes much injustice
may be done by Jacks in otfiCe, min 1
would earnestly beg of you to exert
all your influence to allay the feeling
of panic which at present exists
among the officials of your great city.'.'

-Francis, Conlan, ' the Malvolio of
Marie Wainwright's "Twelfth Nighf;
company, now on tour, tells of going
into a restaurant in San Antonio re
cently. He had just met a friend that
day whom he Bad ti6t ' seen since
their early days, when both had Join
ed the great army of aspirants. The
.occasion of their unexpected meeting
was marked by Conlan's Invitation to
his friend to dine with him, the place
being situated handily near the the
ater. ,' ' ' ; v '"
The dinner card was not a large one
and on consulting it after the heavy
part of the meal was over Conlan
suggested a 'German pancake as an
"afterwards," this, partly because It
seemed the only thing on the bill that
struck his fancy and partly out of
deference to his , guest, whom he
thought would like the dish because
of his German descent. .
u "I giiess we' can get a good oftfe
"here," remarked Conlan; "did y6u
note the quaint Weberfleldlan accent
of our waiter? This must be a Ger
man restaurant." ,
"Veil," replied the waiter when the
order was given, :Mve haf 'era got,
but . I couldn't glf 'em a goot recom-mend-tloning."
"Why not?" asked: Conlan. -
"Vy ? - Because because, veil, any
vay, don't you take no Cherman pan
cake in dis place," warned th&iwalter.
Then in a : whisper he addMf'dot

how It is Voil'm talkin' I'm advlsin
lng you-to-take a French pancake.m"
advice which the two young actors ac
cepted. :!i: :
Rebecca Warren, now on tour as
Tess, In Mrs Flske's .successful play,
a beginner in the profession, she van
quished a would-be acquaintance.
At that time she could not afford a
cab to take her. home at night from
the theater. , Several times on ' her
walks home after the performance she
had been both annoyed and - frighten
ed at being spoken to by unmannerly
men. Mentioning the fact to one of
the elder members of the company one
day at rehearsal, that lady 'recomr
mended a proceeding which , she had
herself proved most effectual.
"I used to be spoken to once in a
while on , the way. home." said she,
"but I found that I would not be fur-1
ther mailested If I turned on the '
speaker and swore a few large oaths." j
"I would much rather turn and
run," said Miss Warren, "but If yott
think yours the better way I'll study
up a string of expressive terms, such
as you may recommend as the strong
est," whereupon she mentally re
hearsed a few to hold in readiness
should another occasion present itself.
That same night the necessity oc
curred as she was rounding tTie cor
ner of a side street near her boarding
place not far from the theater. She
had noticed a man of that execrable
type, "masher," ns she left the stage
door, and when on the further block
she found him close to her elbow and
about to speak to her, she determined,
ns an experiment to rid herself of his
presence, to makuse of her friend's
tactics. They were most successful,
for when the actress. In a loud voice,
but with trembling heart, tore out of
the profane dictionary several clioiee
specimens the man removed his hat
and bowed deferentially, saying:
"Pardon me, Miss, but I did pot
know you were a lady!" and turning
walked rapidly away, while Miss
Warren ran in the opposite direction.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20. It is just re
ported that in a raid on a poolroom at
Madison, 111., sixteen persons have
been shot, two fatally. Fifty or more
citizens of Madison, armed with shot
guns, left the main part of the town
a few minutes before 5 o'clock for
the Madison poolroom.
The raid was an effort to close, up a
poolroom that has for a long time op
erated in the outskirts of Madison, 111.,
across the river from St Louis. Three
constables, augmented by a posse of
citizens and bearing warrants for the
arrest of six men connected with the
poolroom, precipitated the riot, which
resulted in the shooting of seven men.
Two may die. '
Lee Harlan,- druggist, and Patrick"
McCambridge, policeman, were wound
ed probably mortally.
After the failure of the Madison
county grand Jury, Which recently tn
vesrigated the" poolroom, to return .In
dictments citizens took the matter In
hand, with the Intention of having the
poolroom closed. Several days ago
warrants were issued for State Sena
tor David Nelson of Missouri, charging
himlwlth being a pool seller, and Vic
tor .Schuler, charging him : . with con
ducting the poolroom and being , cus
todian of the funds: ' Schuler was ar
rested and gave bond of $500 pending
a hearing.
The additional warrants were sworn
out, and three constables appeared at
the poolroom to serve them. Two po
licemen were within and declared they
had arrested the operators of the pool
room 'and "were guarding them. Bet
ting was going on as Usual at the time.
The constables were ordered to leave
the premises, which they, did after ar
gument. Proceeding through the neigh
borhood for the next half hour, the
constables organized a posse of armed
citizens numbering about, fifty persons.
-The constables and posse then return
ed to the poolroom and entered. They
were at once ordered out, and the doors
were ordered locked. The posse de
murred, and. words followed. One pos
seman, it is stated, pointed a shotgun
at Policeman McCambridge, who fired
a revolver into the ceiling. Firing then
became general. The policeman was
shot through the body. ' '
' The crowd in the poolroom scattered
hurriedly, many fleeing Into a waiting
Illinois Central train until it became
packed. ' When the fusillade was over,
the constables and posse had posses
sion. The bookmakers, however, as-!
sert that the poolroom will be open as
usual today. Although the poolroom
men are - now constructively under ar
rest, the police say they will not-permit
the citizens to Interfere;
"Warrants' were 'sworn :out before 'J us
tice of the Peace isenmeyer of Granite
City, adjoining Madison, for the arrest
of Whitfield Brooks and Eugene Wall
of Granite City and Thomas Riley,

Prof. Sugar-man. of Little Falls, who
began taking daily winter baths in the
Mohawk river several years ago, is
6till at It. He has not missed a day
this winter, despite the fact that the
temperature the last week ranged from
18 to 80 degrees below zero. Whether
or not he has been benefited, the fact
remains that Prof. Sug&rman is a fine
looking specimen of the healthy man.
Since he began taking these arctic
plunges he says that he Is no longer
troubled by colds : in the head, or by
catarrh. At times he has been obliged
to cut the Ice, to get into the water.
All winter he wears summer clothing,
disdaining mufflers arid overcoats, and
seems, to thrive on exposure to cold
that would immediately kill fed average
