Immense Audience,
 Saw "Follies 19O9'

The much vaunted "Follies of 1909' reached Jackson's Theatre last night and was welcomed by house which forced the hanging out Of the "S. R. O." sign. It was @ novelty that Seem- ed to please with it's constantly chang ing scenes and absence of plot or con- nection of any kind. The scenes were good and indifferent by turns but the audience was discriminating and show ed it's appreciation at times, while it allowed the other turns to fall flat. The fun would now and then become dormant, although the struggle to raise it to higher level was evident. The idea of each scene was novel, as was the costurning and scenic effects, but the lyrics did not seem at all times to come from the master hand of Harry B. Smith,.
 The scene in Hamnierste1n's ofHce at the Manhattan Opera House served to introduce Eva Tanguay, and her ami nation caught the audience at once. Bessie Clayton in this same scene did peared in a skit called 'The Children Nursery and sang .sI Wish I Was a Boy, I Wish I Was, GirP' in hit producing manner. The burlesque on hypnotism was Iaughable and well sustained, as was the Millionaire s Ward in the Tombs prison. The first act was concluded with a skit on base ball, the scene showing the New York Polo grounds. A few hundred light weight basebaJ1s were used in the game in which the audience took part. A pretty effect in black and white was produced when Annabe11e Whitford appeared as a Brinkley bathing girl in the second act. The Roosevelt hunting burlesque pleased. Miss Tan quay sang her T Don't Care' song with spirit. The chorus was beauti- full The theatre never held a larger a11dience

 Marble and Casalina
Commanders of Vermont and Etruria Express Pleasure They Have Had
 in Bridgeport's Greeting.

Count Leonardo di Casalina and Commander Frank Marble, of the Et- ruria and Vermont respectively, spoke in the highest praise of their reception in Bridgeport. Count Casalina said:
 t'I am very sorry my visit to Bridge port has been so short. I have found it very interesting. was gratified by the great hospitality shown by all with the flags which decorated the public buildings and residences, and appreciate the honor. I have been all over the world and in many places have seen products of your factories, so that my visit here has been doubly satisfactory and interesting to me now that I have seen the manufacturing concerns which turn out these various products. I have seldom seen two such beautiful natural parks as you have in Bridgeport. There are many beautiful parks in Europe, but their beauty consists largely in their stat uary. Your parks have the natural beauty. The presentation of the flag was an innovation. In all my sailing and with all the gifts presented to the ship this is the first time a flag has been given JUS. I shall certainly spread the reputation of Bridgeport as Captain Lorrechio has, done. Instead of exaggerating as I thought he was doing, I have found that he has not told half enough"
 "I hardly know what to say to the people of Bridgeport for their recep- ton. I can say nothing but Thank You for the reception and hospitality which we have received at your hands We are all glad we have come here and we shall remember you always as friends. You have 8 wonderful manu- featuring city here which you might be proud of. and you certainly have large and beautiful park at the sea shore. We have enjoyed every min ute here and I can speak for the boys when I say this. The flag presented us will be always a memento of a most hospitable reception in the busy, bust ling city of Bridgeport"

Pimples, Rash, Eruptions, Etc, Quick ly Eradicated by New Skin Rem
 edy.
 Ever since it's discovery, poslam, the new skin remedy has, in its extraordinary accomplishments, ex- ceeded the most sanguine expectations of the eminent specialist who gave it to the world. It has cured thousands of cases of eczema and eradicated fac ial and other disfigurements of years standing. The terrible itching at tending eczema is stopped with the first application, giving proof of it's curative properties at the very out set.
 In less serious skin affections. such as pimples, rash, herpes, blackheads, acne, barher's itch, etc., results show after an overnight application, only a small quantity being required to ef- feet a cure. Those who use poslam for these minor skin troubles can now avail themselves of the special 5o-cent package, recently adopted to meet such Leeds. Both the 50-cent package and the regular $2 jar may be obtain ed in Bridgeport at Jennie Hamilton's s Pharmacy and other leading drug stores.
 Samples for experimental purposes may be had free Of charge by writing direct to the Emergency Laboratories. 32 West Twenty-fifth Street, New York City.

If ever a body of officers received a proper send off after very pleasant visit to a place, the officers of the U. $. s. Vermont and the Italian crui- ser Etruria did last night at the ban quet in their honor, in the Atlantic hotel. More than 100 Bridgeport cit izens were there to bid them good bye and wish them a return at some future date Every allusion to the United States, or Italy, or the officers or crews representing each, was greeted with applause. The banquet was a very enjoyable affair and last ed until after 1 o'clock this morning, when it was brought to a close only because Commander Marble, of the Vermont had to leave the harbor and part in the Fulton-Hudson exposition with his men.
 During the dinner a silver loving cup was presented to Deputy Sheriff Louis Richards by Ralph Borino, as an ex- pression of appreciation from the com nlittee which had charge of the enter tainment of the Visiting sailors and or ficers for the large part which Mir. Richards had taken in making the matter a success. MT. Richards was applauded vociferously when he re- ceived the cup and responded. At the conclusion of the speechmaking Com mander Marble rose and proposed three good hearty cheers for Mayor Lee upon his own behalf and that or Commander Casalino of the Etrurla.

 "It was General Cardoza, 39 years ago to-day, who broke into the bat dement's and made the breach which took away the temporal power, from the Pope.
 seThirty-nine years have elapsed since that time and many sons of Italy have come to this country. They have < come, not Z as paupers, but to live in peace, in n.$concofds with our citizens, that they may form an |integraI part of our government and have conferred upon them the price, less boon of American citizenship.

fishing house. 1t is entitled "Vir
ginias Attitude Toward Slavery ant
Secession" and contains much matter
never before given publicity. The au.
thor, Beverley b. Munford, is a prom.
inent member of the Virginia bar and
closely identified with the political
educational and social life of the
State.
In his work NJ. Munford has en-
deavored to present the anti-slavery
and Union loving sentiments of Vir-
ginia, and to show how neither de-
votion to slavery nor hostility to the
Union was the controlling cause
which impelled her to secede. The
work presents a comprehensive re-
view of Virginia's record with respect
to slavery, and the difficulties, legal
ethical and racial, which embarrassed
emancipation.
The author has fortified his work by
u mass of data, heretofore unpub-
lshed. Critics, who have had access
to the advance sheets, pronounce the
work a most valuable contribution to
the historical literature of the time.

MAN SHOULD LIVE
TO AGE OF $50

New York-The normal span Of
human life is $50 years, according to
a remarkable study by Prof. Fisher
OF Yale, which has just been publish
ed by the National Conservation COM
mission at Washington. Prof Fisher
shows that the length of mans exist
ence is steadily growing both in this
country and Europe, with the progress
OF science, sanitation and social bet
terment, and declares that the span Of
$50 years will not long be impossible
of attainment.
The Investigations by Melchinkoff
are quoted by Prof Fisher to show
that the average normal span should
be $50 years.
Mammals generally, he pointed OUT,
live about five times their growing
period. Mans period Of growth is 30
years, and according to that he should
live for $50 years. The present aver
age duration Of life is stated at 3S
years. Two cases Of persons who liv-
ed to great ages are Drakenberg. a
Norwegian, who died at the age of
146 years. and Mrs. Mary L. Wood
of Portland, oregon, both Of which
are authentic.

MISSING; NO TRACE

Spokane, Wash.-The Spokane po-
lice are taking up the search for
Fred Cotton. the young son of P. J.
Cotton of Calgary, with the authori-
ties in Portland and other coast cit
les. The boy left his fathers team
and wagon at Colfax, Wash, and dis
appeared with a strange man while
driving overland from Corvallis, Ore.
to Calgary. Trace was found of the
boy in Spokane.
The father fears the stranger
either lured his son to hobo life or
murdered him for the considerable
money he had on his person.
Cotton moved to Calgary last sum-
mer, leaving his son in college at Cor
wallis. The farmer to whom he sold
the team was unable to pay so Cotton
decided to have the son drive to Cal
gary.
The boy wrote from Colfax four
weeks ago, the last time he was heard
from. His subsequent silence caused
his father to conduct a search. He
found the team in the livery barn at
ColfaX, but the keeper new nothing
of his son.
