JOHN NICE (Leading Man)

AIter long and tedious hours of re- hearsals during the past week Polls All-Star Summer Stock Company is ready for the opening presentation of the seasons stock plays. on next Mon day afternoon. Under competent di- rection the members of the cast a dozen in all. have become speedily proficient in their several roles and already perfect production of the opening piece "Her Own Way' is as- sured- The company this season will differ materially from previous casts, is that barring two players all faces will be new to Poli's patrons. There will be Miss Alice Fleming again in , the leading female roles Bridgeport will extend a most cordial welcome re- turn to Miss Fleming who by her re- markable talents and her winning per sonal1ty has won a permanent place in the hearts of every PoH stock patron.
 Miss Fleming has been secured by Mr. PoH after the leading woman has just closed most successful season at the head of the Percy G. Williams stock company in New, York. Bridge porters will appreciate this. The charming young actress returns here ready to take up her summers work with the expectation of winning new laurels- Beyond a doubt her ambition will be realized. The talented leading woman besides her we'll known euc- cesses in this city has divided honors as leading woman with James K Hackett. James O'Neil and other well known stars. In the initial production of the season here next Monday Miss Fleming will be very happily cast in the role of Georgiana Cartey, the role created by Maxine Elliott in "Her Own Way Miss Fleming will be seen to equal advantage in the productions to follow.
 Something by way of introduction should be said of other members of the company who will be new to Bridgeport. The leading man is John

MAYOR MCCLELLAN INCURS ENMITY
 OF TEACHERS
vetoes Equal Pay Bill for Women Al. thOngh Measure Had Practically Sup. port of Every Labor Organization and Civic Body in New York.

New York, May 15.-Mayor McCel- ian's vote of the women teachers Equal pay bill'' with the end of his term at hand, and the vast amount of Influence whin was brought to bear in favor of the bilB has occasioned gen. eral surprise to-day and caused con- sternation to the advocates of equal rights. Despite the Mayors settled op- position to the plan, it was brought the face of the support accorded the measure by practically every labor organization and civic body in the city. The concensuS of opinion was that Mcclellan would sign the bill and leave the responsibility for it with Governor Hughes. As concession and as a hope to the women teachers, the Mayor in his vote memorandum sets forth a scheme by which he says he expects to arrive at the true solution of the salary question. He proposes to ap- point a local commission to investigate the grievance of the women teachers and to await their report before mok- ing any provision in the budget for higher salaries. This ''concession' has caused the utmost resentment.
 It is claimed by the teachers it will be ineffective. It is pointed out that any commission. that Mayor McClel- Ian would appoint at this time would be unable to make & thorough inveSti- gation and complete it before next spring. In view of the fact that Mayor McClellan's term expires or January 1, 1910, and that no commits sion appointed by Mcclellan would have any weight with the next incum- bent the teachers think there is nc chance of the commission doing their cause any good.

A L.con,c Corre.pondence.

It is said that the celebrated German theologian, Schleiermacher, was rather inclined to save than to spend money He was at one time quite i'll and sent for a renowned physician, pr. Giraffe, who was court physician at the time and whose son became the great ocu- list. Schleiermacher recovered, and when fully restored to health he sent polite note to Dr. Giraffe, expressing his gratitude and inclosing louis dor, begging the physician to accept this small sum as a token of his ap- preciation of the services which had been rendered him.
 The following day he received his gold pieces again, accompanied by the following laconic note from the great physician: "The poor I cure for noth- ing. The well to do pay me according to the regular medicine tax The rich reward me lavfshly, according as it suits their pleasurer'
 Thereupon the clergyman sat down and sent pr. Giraffe tiSts still more la comic answer: 1.-The 4 louis dor are received back with gratitude. The poor Schleiermacher!"

Lamp. Used Befor. Candles.

Lamps were used before candles. They date back almost as far as his- tory goes and were common in ancient Egypt, China, Assyria, Greece and Rome Lamp, from the Greek lampas, a torch, and candle. from kandeel, the Egyptian word for common lamp, originally meant the same thing, and the Mosaic candlestick held oil lamps. not candles, as we now use the word.
 Man early improved on the torches of the Homeric age and caught the idea of obtaining light from porous fiber soaked in animal or vegetable oils. Lamps of brass, bronze and stone have been found in the pyramids and in ancient Indian temples, and com mon terra cotta ones were in general use for domestic purposes in Greece in the fourth century B. O. The earliest candles we hear of were those of the ancient Romans made of rushes coated with fat or wax.

Gastric and Nervou. Vertigo.

The most common forms of vertigo are the gastric and the nervous. Gas tric vertigo is sometimes induced by a very slight disorder of the stomach. The patient may feel a sudden swim ming at the head; objects may seem to revolve; he totters and perhaps falls. There may be nausea, faintness, head ache, visual hallucinations and buzz ing in the ears, but there is no deaf ness nor any danger of loss of con- sciousness. Gastric vertigo is cured by treatment directed to the cause.
 Nervous vertigo may come from nervous exhaustion resulting from va- rious intellectual strain or an use of tobacco, alcohol or tea The symptoms are much the same as in gastric vertigo. They are felt strongly in an elevated position-by the preacher in the pulpit or the speak CT on the platform. As in gastric yer tigo, the treatment must be directed to the cause. But patients need not fear an attack of paralysis or of apo plexy.

Bells and Bees.

It is a foolish notion to suppose that the ringing of bells or hanging" 1of tin pans will cause a swarm of bees to set tie. The real origin of this custom dated back to the reign of Alfred the Great who, in order to prevent dis putes regarding the ownership of a swarm, ordered that the owner should always ring a bell when his bees swarmed, and ever since then the good farmers wife has been rushing out with ringing bells whenever the bees swarmed, and the fact that they set tied verified, in her own mind, the be- lief that the bell did it.

IS BEING MADE
PART OF LARGE STOCK
is TO BE CLOSED OUT
F. E. Livengood TO Become Sole Pro-
prietor of the Ready TO Wear and
Drygoods Department Of Big Store
Mems Furnishing Goods to be
Closed Out-Building Rented.

According to T. c. Taylor, president
of the F. E. Livengood company, the
advertised closing OF sale of the mems
furnishing goods department of the big
department store is to be a real clos
ing out. The First National bank, the
principal owner Of the store, has found
an opportunity to go out of the gener-
al merchandising business and as it
was practically forced into it in the
first place, the opportunity has been
seized.
According to present plans the
mems furnishing department of the
store is to be closed out and in ac-
cordance with this plan that half Of
the big building has already been
rented. As the new renter desires to
take possession January l, it will be
necessary to close out the present
stock before that date.
The other side Of the store, that con-
tanning the ready to wear and dry
goods department, will be taken over
by F. E. Livengood, the present man.
ager OF the company. Taylor says
Livengood is now making arrange
ments to take over this department OF
the store and he has no doubt but that
the deal will be consumated. Accord
ing to the president of the company
the manager not only has the conf
dence Of the banks and outside finan-
cial interests but also of the genera
public.
1t will thus be seen that the big
sale which starts tomorrow is not due
to lack Of success but simply to the
fact that the bank has seized the op.
portunity to let go of the store which
was acquired in the efforts to mak'
the bidders for the bankrupt stock O.
