Use For old shoes.

Janitors collect the shoes cast away by tenants and send them to auction rooms, where they are sorted into piles marked Men, Women" @Children Several poor people made fair bids, but the auctioneer did not seem aIx- ious to sell. Finally a man pushed his way through the crowd and offered 10 cents apiece for the whole lot. His bid was successful. 'I was killing time with talk waiting for that fellow" said the auctioneer afterward. ''He always pays high for these shoes, and he does not want them for wearing, either He wants to beat them out for the leather in them. He gets what material there is, puts it a process and makes stamped imitation leather novelties, such as pie ture frames. bags, pocketbooks. pen knife holders and even chair backs and seats. He finds a ready sale for these novelties and gets good price for them. Shoe Retailer.

THE THEATRES
POLI'S

"The Pianophiends' is scoring a big ger hit than any other headline act this season at Polls this week. Not excepting 'The Love Waltz or ''The Country Club'' two of Jesse L. Las ky's most protentious and extravagant productions no act this season has won such instantaneous and universal pop ularity with vaudeville patrons '"The Pianophiends" is a novel musical act pianos played by nine pianists simul- toneously. Several vocal song hits and chorus numbers, pretty girls, an elab- crate stage setting and costuming lends unusual attractiveness to this magnificent production.
 A clever bill all the way through this week embraces as some of it's best features: The Longacre Quartet, a pleasing singing four; The Jossettis troupe in startling feats; Edwina Bar ry & Co.,, in Imaginable domestic farce. called "The Homebreaker"; Wood Bros, Irish athletes and boomerang ored dancer; Pealson, Goldie & Lea, in singing character work; and Imaginable views on the Electrograph.
 Manager Poli offers next week as his chief attraction, the brilliant comedy sketch from the pen of George V. Ho- bart, entitled, "Cherie'' presented by Clayton White and Marie Stuart. This act is said to be without precedent in vaudeville. Bright with humor and novel situation. "Cherie" will be found to be a surprising hit in Bridgeport. Gaanda-Hunnanus, the enigma, will be the added feature. This act introduces a wonderful mechanical figure that writes rides bicycle and does most everything but talk. 1t is one of the most gigantic illusions ever offered on any stage and has been directly inn ported from Europe. The supporting bill next week will be one of the most attractive of the season.

 LICENSE IN HARTFORD
Voters Turn Down High School and
 Municipal Building.

Hartford, April 1.-The voters of Hartford yesterday decided to continue license for another year, expressed their disapproval of the technical high school and municipal office building appropriations, and rejected the propo- sition for the consolidation of school districts Partywise, the Republicans carried the city on the general ticket by about 2,5O0, and made a gain in the Common Council. The interest in the questions submitted brought out an unusually large vote for an off year, the names of more than 13,000 of the 5000 electors being checked before the day was over.
 The license vote was nearly two and one-half times that of the no-Hcense, being 4.669. ~
