Bince the change from stock to vaudeville and pictures at Poli's thea- ter, there hag been trouble with the musiclans, states Manager Saunders. There had formerly been four men in the orchestra, but with the change it was desired to have but the pilano- player, When the manager asked ihe piano player to remain, he states that he refused, unless there were four in the orchestra. Not being able to stand that expense, and being unable to se- cure a union player of the piano alone, Manager Saunders states that he was obliged to go out of town for a player, who, it is understood, ig not a union man, though a union man had been desired, Desiring to bring a first class at- traction here now and then, Manager Saunders booked Jeff De Angelis for February § and Baby Mine for Febru- ary 21, intending to run vaudevilie the other nights to keep the house from being dark. He is, however, un- able to secure the orchestra of four pieces for those plays, he states, be- cause of the other trouble, and has been obliged io cancel the attractions. He has had two or more conferences with the musicians’ union over the matter and is willing to place two in the orchestra for vaudeville, but they are not willing to play unless there are four. Becretarp F. N. Clark of the Musi- cians' union in speaking of the matter, states that the union has made a rule that if union players are to play at the Poli theater there must be four in the orchestra for all attractions,wheth- eer vaudevill or first-class shows. It is claimed that the manager cannot hire one or two to play for vaudeville | and have them union men. This it is claimed is arrived at by the fact that the house is rated by those who fixe the number who shall play in the or- chestra there. Four is the number settled upon according to the seating capacity. Mr. Clark states that with the gallery closed, as it is, there are 350 mor seats there than in any other show house in town. He was of the oplnion that vaudeville ought not to be put on there. Whether the orchestra of four was playing to empty seats or not, or whether the manager could af- ford to have four players or not made no difference to the union, said the secretary. Manager, Saunders in speaking of | the situation, said that he had got the opinion of a number of people and had decided to put on first-class attrac- tions when they can be obtained. He sald he believed that the public was ready for them again here. Vaudeville, he said, he planned to put on the other nights. DEATH OF TIMOTHY. Big Maitese Cat Well Known to Cus- tomers of W. A, Smith's Store. The life of Timothy, a big Maltese cat whell known to the customers at the grocery store of the late Wel- come A, Smith, came to an end this week.

CONTESTED DIVORCE IN SUPERIOR COURT. Case of Bauby vs, Bauby on Trial— Decision Reserved in Slander Case. When the superior court, eivil side, opened here on Wednesday morning, Attorney Gear for the defendant and Attorney Burrows for the plaintiff made their arguments in the Russell- Dayton slander case. Judge Ralph Wheeler took the papers. The next case called was the con- tested divorce case of Kate Benton Bauby of New London =zgainst Fred Chester Bauby, a Waterbury lawyer. The attorneys are Cook, Burrows and Hankey. The wife, who testified that she was 18 when she ran away to New York with Fred Chester Bauby, July 3, 1902, claims that he has since deserted her. | The husband claims that he is the de- serted one. Mrs. Bauby was first put upon the stand, testifying to the way their mar- riage was kept secret for a time from her mother, Mrs. Mason, but that af- ter it was announced the husband and wife lived together in Waterbury. They have nogehildren. Mrs. Bauby testifled that he* husband attended Yale Law school for five years after their mar- riage. She asserted that she had to pay part of his tuition and got little food and no money from him. She told of getting $15 weekly from her husband for a short time. but that soon stopped. She has supported herself by being a housekeeper for Dr. Ganey in New London and has also been on the stage for a season. She claimed that one trouble with her husband was that he played the races. Mrs. Nellie J. Mason and Joseph Gough testified in favor of the plain- tiff. Those to testify for the defendant were F. C, Bauby, John T, Monzani and Joseph P. Bauby. The defendant testified that his wife deserted him to go on the stage and he tried several times to get her back, but she refused.

In view of the fact that the board of assessors did not raise many lists, having sent but only about 50 notices of increases, the board is not antici- pating a very strenuous session.
