THE THEATRES
POL.I'S

l Taylor Granville and his famous 'Stsr Bout" presented by forty peo- pie will be the headline attraction at Poli's next week, commencing with the ! big Monday matinee. In the "Star 1 Bout" MT. Granville, a famous pro- dlIcer has given to vaudeville quite i the greatest production in the varie- 1 ties. From the days of old variety, when a sketch team of two held the center of the stage for ten minutes or so if was thought to be the real quin- tessence of entert ainfnent. So 1t was in those days. Now when advanced and modern vaudeville has come to be recognized by the people as the most diverting entertainment possible, there has been considerable rivalry betw cen producers as to who would be able to give to the vaudeville loving public the greatest presentation pos sible. MT. Granville has come about as Rear hitting the mark squarely in the center as 1t is possible to do. Fe has created a conedy-drama ernbrac- ing . most intense dramatic situation and incorporating three elaborate scenes. Perhaps the most sensation ally realistic scene in the production is the famous ring-side effect, incorpo- rating a genuine pugilistic encounter, and the center plot of an amazingly interesting story of love and adventure. While this scene is @ vivid portrayal Of the principal scenes at the ring-side, it is in every way sufficiently refined and cannot offend the finest senSibilitieS of the most fastidious. The piece teens with color, sweep and go. The charac- ters are real men and women of every day life who do things. The scenes are realistic to degree, an elaborate array of stage settings being used. Full ly forty people are used at every per- Fa sy1 Ina 'tStar Bout" The production comes to the Foli circuit direct from long run in tho New York houses where it was enthusiastically received. AS a head line attraction for Poli's here next week "The Star Bout will be sure to create popular furore.
 In the arrangement of next weeks bill Manager Poli is to be congratulat- ed in having secured some genuine vaudeville hits. Among the winners will be: Frank Coon1bs and Muriel Stone, presenting their laughing nov city '"rhe Last of the Troupe; George sense;' The Three Lelliotts, musical menarchs; The Arlington Four, snappy songsters and dancers who make up as messenger boys Shewbrook & Berry a singing and travesty duo Sid Bax- ter 6 Co.,, in their brilliant illuminated wire act; and the Electrograph.

CATARRH MUST 60
And Hawking, Splitting,
 Snufles Must Go Too

Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) will give the sufferer from catarrh joyful relief in five minutes.
 It is such a remarkable cure, and so positive in its action, that all leading druggists go so far as to guarantee it to cure catarrh or money back.
 A complete outfit, which consists of a hard rubber pocket inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei and a unique dropper for filling the inhaler, only costs one dol- lar, and if an extra bottle is after wards needed the price is only 50 cents.
 Hyomei is a healing, antiseptic bal sam, taken from the mighty eucalyp- tus trees in the health giving forests of Australia, where diseases of the respiratory tract are unknown.
 All the sufferer has to do is to in- hale the antiseptic air of Hyomei over the inflamed parts where the germs are entrenched, three or four times a day.
 It cures coughs, colds, asthma. hay fever and croup without stomach dos ing.

BOOTH CONFESSES
 TO ARMORY THEFT
Stratford Private of Fourth Company Discharged at 10 O'clock Rifles Pockets of Comrades in Locker Room.

The theft of money from the pockets of the members of the coast artillery which occurred on Tuesday night in the locker room of the armory was fixed yesterday on Clarence W. Booth of Stratford. IS years old. who received hlS discharge as a member of the Fourth Company at 10 o'clock on the same evening. Booth was arrested by Patrolnan Hall yesterday afternoon. He made complete confession to Capt. Arnold. The young man was held at headquarters and his father. B. M. Booth of Nichols avenue, Stratford, was sent for. The father made re- sititution of the money taken and no charge was made against the young man. Booth got into the locker room to which he had a key while his com panions were going through the inspec- tion on the drill floor. He went through the pockets of the clothing left in the room and obtained about $40. He took a late train for New York on the same night and returned to this city yester- day afternoon. A description of the young man had been given to the po- lice and Booth was recognized by Patrolman Hall.
 Booth is IS years of age but looks older. He has a strong inclination to- ward military life and resigned from the Fourth company to enlist in the regular army. His comrades were sur prised when suspicion of the theft fell upon him.
 A conference was held last night at Police headauarters at which the elder Booth. Capt. Bennett and Major Hur- ley were present. The father made good the losses of the Fourth company. Young Booth in custody of his father will go to New York to-day and enl st at a New York recruiting office. He has never been guilty of such an escapade before and cannot account for his action Tuesday night. He says that the impulse came upon him sud- denly and that he could not resist it.

HUNDRED ROOM ANNEX
 FOR STRATFIELD, MAYBE

Although there were many skeptics when the Stratf1eld Hotel was opened, and it was 1inted that the hotel was too large for Bridgeport, Samuel H.. Wheeler is already talking about build ing a hundred room annex to meet the demand for rooms. Although the talked of addition has not taken material form, and the location has not been selected there is no doubt on the part of the management, but that it could fill the additional space. The annex, would be for the accommodation of travelling men who desire a moderate priced room. At first MT. Wheeler planned to carry the present hotel south on the site now occupied by the old Fox building, but as the stores in this building are leased for a term of years it was decided not to disturb the tenants.

TWENTY-FIVE CENT
 STORE FOR TENANT
I. ". Grant of Waterbury Picked to
 Occupy Three Wheeler Rents.

There has been much conjecture as to the nature of the business which was going to locate in three stores owned by Samuel Wheeler, south of the Stratfield Hotel. It was stated to- day on good authority that the tenant would be T. w. Grant of Waterbury. who would conduct 25 cent store there On a large scale, similar to a store he is now operating in the Brass City.
 A plate glass and marble front has been placed in the Hubbell block prop erty, which fronts on Main street, Gold en Hill street and Middle street, and the work of finishing the large store ready for the Mohican Store Co.,, is be- ing hurried along.

SMITHS.

Tie coming the remainder of this week, with daily matinees, at popular prices, of "Jane Eyre, the dramatiza- tion of Charlotte Bronte's famous mo- that celebrated author. The story swept all before it-press and public. Charlotte Bronte's nature was one of indOmitable courage, that circum- stances might shadow, but could not obscure. Out of the Tneagre elements of her narrow life she evolved works that stand among the imperishable things of English literature. She wrote from a sort of necessity; it was obedi- ence to the commanding authority of an extraordinary genius,-a creative power that struggled for expression.- and much of her work deserves in the hest and the fullest sense the term inspired" Charlotte Bronte's novel "Jane Eyre" was not the book for a past generation, nor even only for the present; it is 8 novel that will last, last through generation and genera tion: it stands we'll forward in the list of the worlds ten greatest stories. In dramatic form 1t is proving as suc- cessful as when it first appeared as a novel. There is no question but that "Jane Eyre will be as popular play with our grandchildren as it is with us today.
 A prominent American dramatic critic concluded a recent play review with this sentence: eff a wholesome, honest, cleanly play that alternates pathos and laughter with gatling gun rapidity is what theatre-goers want they will go to see Quincy Adams Sawyer, and it is quite evident they are going" In these few words he summed up the facts and the reasons therefore that epitomize the success of the great rural play that for four years has been touring the country to houses everywhere. When the play is seen here all next week, opening Monday evening. the proof of all these statements will be so self-evident as to be indisputable. There will be bargain matinees. at 25 cents to all parts of the house, daily except Monday. Seats may be secur- ed at any time for all performances.

 All three were stabbed by Atlas Till ford. an IS year old colored lad who was attacked by a crowd of white boys as he left the school. The fact that there had been several previous at- tacks on the negro and two rocks were found in the pockets of Wuebbold. will be used as argument to secure the negro's acQuittal when he comes to trial.
 Richard Jones. a negro aged IT, was shot and killed by Walter 'rillnan late last night as he was passing through the Big Four railroad yard. The police are trying to ascertain whether tho race feeling among the school boys had any bearing on the affair.
