FRlTzI sCHEFF DELIGHTS AUDIENCE
Perhaps Largest House of Season Greet ed Performance of "The Prima
 Donna" at Smiths.

It is probable that the largest audi ence of the year, both in respect of numbers and of box office receipts, as sembled at Smiths last night to see the performance of 'The Prima Donna, a light opera, which from the standpoint of musical excellence falls behind the standard of the Golden Butterfly, but which, nevertheless, was redeemed from the common place by Fritzi Scheff, the clever Viennese singer, and a company that was capa- ble throughout.
 The chorus was well trained, and did its work with an energy, a dash and a precision that was most satisfactory to the ear. The first act is laid in a cafe chantant of Paris, in which a miniature stage is presented. upon which players appear in turns" thor oughly representative of that sort of thing in the French metropolis. The singing of Miss Scheff certainly. did not in this act fall below her own standard.
 The second act shows a club house, outside Paris, on an afternoon when a fete is in progress. In this act Will liam Raymond, who is the lover in the play did some pleasing work.
 There were songs, apart from those rendered by Miss Scheff, that were re- ceived with appreciation. Everybody Else's Girl Seems Better to Me Than Mine' lost none of its delightful qual- ity as it was sung by Martin Haydon.
 This was the second appearance of F,ritzi Scheff in Bridgeport. The well come she received surpassed even her first welcome.

DEHAVEN X PARKER
 HEAD FINE BILL
Geo. H. Cohan's Successor the Topliner at POli'S This Week Other Acts
 Above the Average.

Review: About the classiest act Manager Poli has given his patrons this season is Carter DeHaven and Flora Parker heading the bill at the popular vaudeville house this week. MT. DeHaven who was secured by MT. Poh within a few days of his finish ing his engagement as Geo. M. Cohans successor in the 'Yankee Prince is presenting with Miss Parker a me lange of song and dance SpecialtieS refreshingly new and given with the conception of a true artist. Those wno saw MT. DeHaven in Cohan's part in the Yankee Prince" can readily ap- preciate the possibilities of a produc- tiOn built for vaudeville by the young artist himself and presented only DeHaven knows how tospresent va riety topliner. The act includes a series of recent song hits some of them especially composed for MT. DeHaven and several well known DeHaven- Parker dance specialties are given throughout the action of the skit. Last nights audience appreciated to the full lest this handsome topliner- The act was staged with an elaborate purple plush hanging said to be valued at SE OO0.
 A close second for the first place on the bill is Reynolds & Donegan said to be the worlds champion roller skat- CTS. MT. Reynolds and beautiful Miss Donegan offer a novel and original roller skating carnival introducing some difficult figure skating and as a special feature the Human Top'' stunt of Miss Donegan, wherein the dainty little performer spins about on the rollers in a dizzy Yhirl, at the same time strumming a guitar.
 Johnny Busch who is just turning seven, and is easily the youngest and most diminutive performer in vaude- vile is one of the hits of the bill. John ny and his Pa and sister present a comedy talking and gymnastic act. Johnny delivers a monologue that would do credit to a veteran of the stage.
 ''Won by a Leg" an original com edy sketch presented by Gordon Eldrid & Co.,, was one of the big laugh hits o fthe show. The story has to do with a deception practiSed by, a pair of sweethearts in which one pretendS to be suddenly stricken deaf and dumb while the other turns up after suppos- edly having lost a leg in a railroad ac- cident. The situation resulting in the unmasking of the deception is a scream.
 Among other attractive features this week are: Dixon Brothers eccentric musicians; Val Trainer and Myrtle Dale in twenty minutes of variety Ruby Raymond & Co.,, offering a snap py skit including some corking buck and wing dancing; and entertaining motion pictures on the Electrograph.

Melnkoff Proves
 He Was at Work

Albert Melnkoff was arrested yester- day on the belief that he was the man who has been guilty of enticing little girls The latest appearance of the en- ticer was Thursday when he accosted little Annie McCue near her home on Sterling street and hauled her into a hallway. threatening to kill her if she made any outcry, at the same time offering her pennies. Melnkof told straight story and said he was at work in the factory of the American G Brit ish Manufacturing company when the assault occurred and could easily prove an alibi. .-
 Mrs. McCue, the mother of Annie, was not able to identify him as the man seen with her girl. A dozen oth- CT children who's saw the man, looked over Melnkoff this morning but failed to identify him. He was released on his own recognizance and will appear at police headquarters tomorrow to answer any charge made against him, It is probably a case of mistaken iden- tity on the part of the excited mother of the child

 'Once while I was pleading with a young man. whose mother had begged me to try to make him change his life he interrupted me and said. Why do others busy themselves about my sal loss; not theirs Young man. I said. Have you ever loved anyone dearly ? If not, you cannot fully understand what I am going to say to you. but l tell you. there are those who love you, and because they love you, are anxious about the welfare of your soul.' And the power of love saved this young man. when all else had failed.
 Perhaps there are some here who have been careless of their souls for years but whit you forgot theni, there were others who remembered them for you and would have died to save them. It may be that loving mother on tired knees and with tear filled eyes prayed long into the night that you might remember the early lessons she had taught and return to the service of the God who gave you into her keeping Perhaps. O Lord she prays. it is my fault that my boy has gone astray Lord. forgive me; hear my prayer He is flesh of my flesh. and life of my life. Bring him back.

For her sake. for your own sake. break with that sin, or indifference. or whatever 1t IS that separates you from God. and become again His and her faithful child.

INVESTIGATION
 OF CHARITIES BOARD PROPOSED
Resolution to Cause Inquiry Offered by Alderman WilsOn-President Stone Says the Beard Courts Scrutiny of its Methods.

Alderman Clifford B. Wilson offered a resolution in the common council last night, calling for the appoint
 ment of a committee of five aldermen by the mayor to enquire into the meth
 ods of doing business employed by the Board of Charities. He asked for un- animous consent of the aldermen for the immediate passage of the motion but the objection of Alderman Griffin sent it to the Miscellaneous committee. The latter in making his objection said
 he thought the matter was a big prop oSition and that the aldermen should
 not rush at the thing blindly, there fore, he believed it should have con- sideration before some committee.
 Alderman Wilson, in explaining his position, said he had been on the fin
 ance committee for 15 months and he had formed an opinion that the busi- ness methods of the Charities depart ment needed improving. He said that the honesty and integrity of the mem bers of the board of charities was not questioned in the least.
 He said that he favored a purchas- ing agent for the city who would do all of the buying for the city depart ments. He added that he asked for
 fiscal year had only begun and he
 thought it might be possible to pre-
 vent the deficiency in this depart
 ment reaching s35, GOO this year.
 Upon motion of Alderman Wilson
 the Miscellaneous committee will re-
 port upon the matter at the meeting of
 May 8. President Stone, of the Chari-
 ties department, said to Alderman Will son after the meeting, that he was

sorry that Alderman Griffin had not allowed the council to give unanimous consent to the passage of the resolu- ton, for if any improvement could be made in conducting the affairs of the department he wanted to see them made. He said that he was of the opinion, however, that prominent merchant who never got any of the city's money until he (Stone) was pur- chasing agent for the department was the cause of the trouble. He said that he gave this merchant a great deal of business until he came to the conclu- sion that the city was getting soak ed''

IF IT DISAPPEARS
 ITS ECZEMA
How to Tell Whether a Skin Anec- ton is an Inherited Blood Disease or Not

Sometimes it is hard to determine whether a skin affection is a sign of a blood disorder or simply a form of eczema. Even physicians are often puzzled in their diagnosis. The best way for any one afflicted is to go to Jennie Hamilton's Pharmacy, or any good druggist who handles pure drugs and obtain 50 cents worth of poSlam. Apply this, and if the itching stops at once and the trouble is cured in a few days it may be set down as hav- ing been eczema, as this is the way poslam acts in the worst cases of ecze- ma, and in curing acne, herpes, blotches. letter. piles, salt rheun, rash, barber's and other forms of itch. scaly scalp, and all surface skin affections.
 Those who will write to the Elmer gency Labora tories, No. 32 West Twen- ty-fifth Street. New York, can secure. by mail free of charge, a supply suffi- cient to cure a small eczema surface or clear a complexion overnight and remove pi1nples in twenty-four hours.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The stock exchange displayed for a
time today the hustle and movement that
usually marks the trading during an act
i've period Of the market. The principal
dealer in Lanston became so energetic in
his efforts to buy the stock that. as one
of the brokers remarked. his voice could
doubtless be heard on F. street. The
trading was a continuation Of the activ-
ity that has gradually brought this stock
up TO the highest point reached in recent
years. Earlier in the present movement,
however, the stock sold fractionally
above 10.
Since then there has been a recession.
but yesterday an upward movement start
ed again. and quite good deal OF stock
changed hands. Today. however, the
buying began above the best level Of yes
terday, and the stock sold in 1O0-share
lots on a range of 1885 to 10.
The bidding for large lots resulted in
the sale of two flve-hundred-share lots. at
1875, and after call another such lot was
taken at 1SA. More stock could have
not rise above 1874. and the buying ceased
with offerings at an eighth of a point in
advance.
The secret of this unusual interest In
Lanston came out during the trading, in
the statement made by one of the brokers,
that at q meeting OF the directors of the
company held this morning 1t was voted
to begin on the 3Oth of December next
the payment of a dividend of 9 per cent,
~ per cent quarterly.
Another broker who is a large dealer in
the stock. informed the assembled brokers
that the company was now earning per
cent upon a stock valuation of $40 per
share, and that its business Is growing. AT
the close the bid for the stock was 1Sss
and the asking price, 1874.
Inquiries for options on Greene Cananea
indicated to observers that a movement in
that stock might be looked for in the
near future. The sales today were at
1Ox, which is an advance over the figures
of yesterday.
The railway securities did not figure
much in the trading, although there was
quite a demand for small lots of Capital
Traction stock at 1871. and ten shares
brought an eighth of q point more. But
the demand was not strong enough to
overcome the fractional separation Of
buyer and seller.
There was also a market for small lots
of Washington Railway preferred, and
sales were made as high as 93h. Fifty
shares were offered at 931i. with the bid
for such q lot at o. at the close.
There was quite good buying of Gas
stock. A broker filled an order for about
120 shares. for which he paid 66as in quo
tation lots Of twenty-five shares each.
He was willing to take more at the same
figure, but was not willing to pay an
eighth of a point advance, so the quota
tions closed with his bid of 66x and the
asking price at 66A.

Rhode Island Democrats In Conven.
|. ton Condemn New Tariff.

PROVIDENCE. r. l., October THE
delegates to the Rhode Island demo-
cratic state convention were unusually
slow in assembling, and it was an hour
past the time appointed when Judge r.
e. Fessenden, chairman of the state
committee, raped for order. AS the
convention was getting under way the
roll call brought forth several sharp
contests.
The platform adopted condemns "the
Aldrich tariff law as the most out
rageously unfair tariff ever enacted by
an American Congress" It demands the
election of United States senators by
direct vote Of the people. system under
which. the resolution declares. Nelson
w. Aldrich would not be returned to the
Senate from this state The vote of
every democratic member of the incom-
ing general assembly is pledged in sup
port Of the income tax amendment to the
national Constitution.
The larger portion Of the platform Is
devoted to the alleged domination Of
state affairs through the republican Or
ganization reputed to be controlled by
Gen. Charles r. Brayton.
The remedy is held to be in a revision
OF the state constitution.
