At a church function ach person
was required to wear conspicuously
upon his or her clothing some pictorial
or other device that should represent
in "rebus" form the title of any well
known book, and all the others were
to guess at the book Intended. ' '
"Paradise Lost," represented by a
card upon - which Are dice had been
pasted, and from which two had evi
dently dropped or been removed, was
easily guessed. . "Hard Times" was no
puzzle. Neither was it hard to recog
nize "A Fair of Blue Eyes," "Innocents
Abroad," "Vanity Fair" nor "Uncle
Tom's Cabin" In spite of the pictorial,
disguises.

HERBERT AND COYD
Coofoefc. Two Brlllliol Pro
dociloos at Ibe BockloQhaio.
The Waterbury Oratorio society,
assisted by a corps of soloists and the
Victor Herbert orchestra, sang
"Faust" at the ' Buckingham Music
ball last evening, and the Oounod
opera made a decided impression on
the unusually large audience which
filled the hall .
The rendition of the various
scenes was so excellent that the mem
bers of the society and especially
their conductor, George E. Boyd, bad
every, reason to feel proud . of the
night's work. Not only was the
event a social and musical triumph
but it was also a financial success
which augurs well for similar pro
ductions for this city in the near fu-
VICTOR
ture.
The singing of "Fauet" by such a
number of celebrated soloists, con
sidering the apathetical manner in
which the people of this city have
regarded recent musical events, was
an .Immense financial venture for the
Oratorio society. But the members
were confident they would receive the
support of the people of Waterbury
In view of the standard of the pro
gramme offered. Right well did they
work and right well were they re
warded. It was superior to any mu
sical event ever given in this city.
Henrl'G. Scott, who sang Mephisto-
pheles, has a remarkably good bass
voice, which with his dramatic ap
pearance aids him materially In win
ning an audience. His . interpreta
tion of the role was well nigh perfect
Mme Stoddart (Marguerita) ren
dered well the soprano parts. She
has not done much singing in the east
but is well known in the west.
Miss Margaret Keyes, the contral
to sang Siebel and Martha and her
vocal ability was not long In showing
Itself.
Daniel Beddoe, the, tenor, was
an Ideal Faust and won his. way tc
the hearts of his listeners by his
pleasing manner and with his beau
tiful and strong tenor voice.
Henrv H. Smith, a young man
from Meriden, had the role of Wag-
ner.
Frederick S. Weld of New Haven
an old favorite of Waterburlans
sang Valentine, and the baritone was
in excellent voice. Mr Weld has im
proved wonderfully since his first
apeparance in this city and seems to
be better on each successive appear
ance. He made a very iavoraDie
showing last evening, his , several
solos being the gems or tne opera.
The Herbert . orchestra with Mr
Boyd leading was immense .and its
playing was in keeping with the ad
mirable effort made on previous ap
pearances. .
One scene of the opera, the church
scene, was sung to the accompani
ment of the piano as the organ at the
last moment was discovered not in
tune with the orchestra instruments
Organist R. A. Smith made the scent
effective with the piano but not
nearly as much so as if it had been
rendered on the organ.
The singing of the chorus was
something long to be remembered
There was volume and melody, and
perhaps never has better work been
done In Waterbury. While all the
choruses were well rendered, the
"Soldiers' Chorus" took the audience
by storm, and the applause was so
continuous that the chorus was re
paeted. -'
The audience at the concert given
(n the afternoon by the Herbert or
chestra assisted by Mme Stoddart,
was not large but very appreciative.
It was a programme such as only
Herbert himself can arrange and
render. It was entrancing music
with the following numbers:
Overture "II Guarany" ..... Gomex
a. Slavic dance ". . . . . . . . '. . . .Dvorak
b. Entre acte i.. . .Offenbach
From "Les Contes D'Hoffmann."
c. "Dance of the Hours". .Ponchlelll

was hearty and long, so much so that
Conductor' Herbert and his perform
ers played several extra numbers
which were enjoyed by the music lov
ers present.

Frank Allen of Woodbury came
near being killed late last evening
on West Main street. He was on
his way home when his team got
mixed up with a trolley car and the
horses ran away and kept going un
til somebody caught them on the
Watertown road. Mr Allen was
thrown from his team and lay where
he fell without moving a muscle so
that those who saw him though he
was killed outright. He was picked
up and removed to the Waterbury
hospital where it was found that
while he was badly shaken up his
injuries are not necessarily serious,

injured man's family.
The county commissioners con;
pleted their two days' work here this
afternoon, receiving from -all but a
very few of the liquor dealers their
license fee for the ensuing year. The
total amounts to about 170,000. Of
this sum all but 15 per cent goes to
the city, while 10 of that 15 per cent
goes to the county and the other
to the police pension fund. Under
the old system of town and city gov'
ernment this money would go entire
ly to the maintenance of town roads
and bridges, but under the present
system it is turned into the general
city fund along with the money
raised by taxation on property, and
is in turn paid out in wages to city
laborers, policemen,, firemen, school
teachers and the other city officials.
as well as for new work In the clty'6
development and the maintenance ot
the schools.
Cases of diphtheria are developing
at an alarming rate in this city, and
it looks as though an epidemic of
the disease would occur if its spread
is not Boon stopped. Tnree new
cases were reported to the charity
department to-day, while two of tho
pupils of the Margaret Croft school
were stricken with the disease the
past twenty-four hours. Another
one of the pupils of the Walsh school
was reported as having the disease
to-day. On Fuller street there is
said to be two cases within half a
dozen houses. Although the author
ities say none of the cases is serious
nevertheless all the schools will In
all probabiliyt be thoroughly fumi
gated during the Thanksgiving va
cation. There must be between
twenty-five and thirty cases in the
city at present and during the past
week, they have been developing
fast. .
Stephen W. Wllby, principal of the
high school, entertained an apprecia
tive audience last night at a public
meeting held under the auspices of
Mulcahy council, K. ot C, at Colum
bus hall. Mr Wllby spoke for over
an hour during which time he fol
lowed the subject Of his sketch from
a boy ot 10 years in the old world to
the man of mature years in Canada,
where he had hewn out for himself
an enduring place among the people
of that country, especially those fa
miliar with the Canadian dialect, in
which tongue Dr Drummond wrote
some of his best poems and essays.
The speaker read several of Dr Drum
mond's poems in a manner which
showed that he knew his subject
thoroughly and possessed a knowl
edge ot Canadian dialect rarely
found anywhere outside the native
born Canadian. His recital of "Lit
tle Baptiste" was very pathetic and
was probably the best number on the
list. But where all are in the su
perlative degree there Is no need of
individual mention, and the general
opinion after Mr Wllby had got
through was that It should have been
heard by a large audience and it It
likely that he will be requested to re
peat it some evening before long.
The exercises included a piano' solo
by Charles Kemp and a-bass solo by
James Carroll. Lallier's orchestra
furnished music.: The meeting was
presided over by James M. Lynch.
