THE THEATRES
POLI'R

You will thoroughly enjoy MT. Elm met Devoy and his select company of ''In Dreamland." in the headline posi- ton at Polls this week. The act is full of good comedy and astounding stage and electrical effects. Ward and Curran the old favorttes in "The Terrible Judge;'' Mile F'regolia, light ming change artist and a. bunch of oth- CT acts complete this weeks show.
 ''The Pianophiends."
 Probably the most striking vaude- ment of vaudeville patrons is the lat est production by Jesse l.. Lasky, en- titled 'The Pianophiends.' which head Poli's bill next week.
 In the scenic setting of an elaborate piano salesroom on Fifth avenue, New York, four clerks and a department manager are discovered killing time in the absence of customers. by playing on five pianos at the same time.
 A stirring ragtime number is played and when it is. finished four young ladies' dressed in the height of fash ion walk into the store. In song they announce they are on a shopping tour and have dropped in to buy a piano. the midst of their song play on var ious pianos, an octette number is gone through, which in originality and tune fulness rivals the famous Florodora Sextette.
 The manager enters and seating him self at the grand piano occupying the center of the stage, proceeds to play an overture, which is participated in by the entire company, a young man and woman seated at each piano. The eff feet of nine pairs of hands playing on five pianos at the same time, can be imagined better than described. The pianos in the act will be Jewetts, from the Steine1t & Sons rooms.
 The young men and women are all finished pianists and singers and were chosen from the best musical circles of New York and Boston.
 The quartette of stunning girls in The PianophiendS are said to be the prettiest in vaudeville. There can be no doubt that in presenting The Piano phiends, MT. Lasky has not spared ex- penSe in giving vaudeville it's most novel and elaborate act.
 Next weeks bill will be exceptional ly fine throughout. A big feature will be Edwina Barry & Co.,, in the new hit, ''The Home Breaker" written by Jimmy Barry. The Long Acre Four, the best singing quartet in vaudeville will be with us next week. A brilliant feature will be the European favorites, The Josettis and Liliputian troupe, in acrobatic and risley work Rastus Brown, a colored boy, who sure can dance and sing; Pealson, Goldie and Lee, clever harmonists and character singers and comedians; Wood BroS., those famous Irish athletes, in Sensa- tional double flying ring work, and mo- tion picture novelties will complete the fine bill.

FIREMEN FIGHT HOSPITAL BLAZE WITHOUT NOISE NOT ONE OF THE SLEEPING CHILDREN AT ST. LUKRS
 AROUSED - FORTY-ONE
 SAVED AT TENE-
MENT FIRE

MESNI
 Special from United Press.)
 New York, April 2.-New York's fire department earned new laurels today in the fighting of a fire at St. Luxe's hospital, and another destructive fire in a Brooklyn tenement house, saving scores of lives in both instances. Tip toeing softly through the corridors of the hospital the firemen arranged two lines of hose under the wards in which lay sleeping the crippled children, and fought the flames that threatened the entire ward, so quietly that none of the children were awakened.
 The firemen were notified over the phone and acting on the request of the hospital physicians the firemen went to the building without changing a bell or blowing a. whistle.
 Forty-one persons were saved from death in the tenement fire Thomas While, 23 years old, lost his life in an attempt to save his fiance, who, he thought. was perishing in the flames although she had been rescued by policeman. The firemen carried the occupants of the building to the roofs of adJoining buildings over ladders. The fire was of incendiary origin, it is believed.

POLLUTION OF TROUT STREAMS.

Hartford, April "A bill to prohibit the putting of sawdust and shavings into trout waters attracted some at tention yesterday before the commit tee on fish and game. Representative Quintard of Norwalk, who introduced the bill referred to the fact that such a law was once on the books. and urg- ed it's enactment again.
 Representative John Buckley of Un- ion objected to the bill in behalf of sawmill owners. So did O. A. His cox of Woodbury, a mill owner, who declared that trout were even caught within ten feet of his water wheel.
 Representative Stoddard of Litchf1eld also opposed the bill. Judge Reed of Holland county spoke against the bill and said he didn't believe the mills hurt fishing any.
 Tn executive session later the com- mittee voted to report adversely.

A HISTORIC TREE.

A highway in the borough oi the Bronx. New York, is to be changed in course in order to save the spy oak" made famous by the novelist Cooper. It is not a large tree, not to he compared with many other oaks in New England. It is, in fact. de- crepit. with struggling young limbs endeavoring bravely to repalr the loss or at least continue the lie or the once strong tree. But 1t Is sur vivor of great woods, and 1t has a historic memory. and if the new in terest evoked shall reach to saving it. that will be well.

Chdmberlain'S Liniment.

This is new preparation and a
good one. 1t is especially valu-
able as a cure for chronic and
muscular rheumatism, and for the
relief from pain which it affords
in acute inAammatory rheuma-
tism. Those who have used it
have invariably spoken of it in
the highest terms of praise. Lame
back, lame shoulder and stiff neck
are due to rheumatism of the
muscles, usually brought on by
exposure to cold or damp, and are
quickly curey by applying this
liniment freely and massaging the
affected parts. Soreness of the
muscles, whether induced by vio-
lent exercise or injury, is allayed
by this liniment. For sale by r.
