The announcement of Miss Leigh De Lacy's engagement at Jackson's thea tre. all next week with daily matinees, In a repertoire Of high class offerings. has aroused considerable interest among local theafregoers. and this clever artist and her excellent support ing company are assured of a hearty welcome. The impression made by this organization upon their previous visit has not been forgotten here, and lovers of the better class of plays will undoubtedly show their appreciation of the efforts of Miss De Lacy and her fellow players by a hearty and generous support. Every play that will be presented next week has the established reputation of a successful New York engagement and Tn some instances has served as starring ve- hicles for some of our most notable stars.
 Miss De Lacy has surrounded her self with an admirable cast, every member being carefully selected as to their fitness in portraying the roles. which they assume Her leading sup port Is Mr. John Meehan, a promising young artist of rare talent. The bill which will be presented Monday mat inee and evening is Clothes a dain- ty comedy of modern life, by Avery Hopwood and Charming Pollock. The story of the play deals with the fond ness of the average young lady for pretty and .sxtravagant gowns. It ranges from farce to tragedy, from the sublime to the rediculous and is a caustic though gripping study of so- cial conditions existing among the ul-

 Being of Sensational Nature,

Look at the head lines in the papers of the big cities. Savage lives up to his name.'' Savage is terror" "sav- age the find of the season." and then ponder. They're all talking about the Bridgeport boy who has taken the Yale admirers by storm and little wonder it is so. for his work has been the one big feature of the Yale play in the past few weeks. RivaIing the work of his captain, Ted Coy, he is looked upon as the successor of the Yale captain in the backheld, when Coy graduates this coming year. It is stated that if he continues to play at his present speed he will be used as one of the first string of backs in both the Princeton and Harvard games, an honor which very few first year men attain

Editor of the Bridgeport Farmer:
 Sir-Have no rights and privileges which the members Of the board of health are bound to respect? Does my Bridgeport count for nothing? While ask for nothing. more than a square deal" for every one. I feel it more when I am personally discriminated against. Now. who are these city officials these servants of the people-who do things. but who can give no reason for their conduct? There are those who believe I have done as much for the comfort, if not for the health of the city, as any or all of these gentle men. There was time when DENSE CLOUDS OF MOSC-JITOES A MILE LONG woulc drift with the light east winds across our hsrbor and fill Sea- side Park and the city with their mu- sic. 1t was through my efforts at an exbense of many thousand dollars that THFIR BREEDING PLACES ON OVER TWO SQUARE MILES OF SALT MEADOWS adjacent to and partly within the city limits were de- stroyed- The value of that work to the property owners and residents of Bridgeport has been estimated at hum dreds of thousands of dollars The good old town of Stratford recognized the value of that work to them by a voluntary donation of 5000. What has the city of Bridgeport done? Is it too much then for me to ask for protection from the uncalled for out rages? A little board of city officials in the interests of parties unknown to
 me and for causes equally unknown to me has deprived me of valuable rights and privileges freely enjoyed by others in all parts of the city. No menace to health was alleged. and none exist ed. There was no allegation of sn fury to any one. and none could have been proved. Had these gentlemen really thought. which is very doubtful,

His work was more than spectacular and, next to Philbiu, he was the star of the contest.
 Savage has always been noted as a booter of some consequence About a change. They saw that Yale was lacking in kickers on the back field line. Coy would graduate in June, leaving the team without any expert enced booter. Savage was the man decided upon. He was pushed behind instantly. His remarkable line buck ing has been the sensational feature Eof every practice, bringing out the comments that he is the find of the season
 Last week he was tried out in the game against Amherst at full back What he did in that contest is now history It was slaughtering of the innocents, with Savage the ring lead CT.

 It is learned today that the rein forcements sent from here to Ardbil are practically useless. They consist of a few hundred inferior fighting men hampered by poor equipment and it is doubtful if they would be even able to hold their own with the fierce tribesmen.
 Part of the force designed for the relief of Ardbil has been held up by lack of funds. the Persian govern ment being practically penniless. The cabinet has agreed to pledge the crown jewels for the benefit of the treasury but lender with the amount required cannot be found.
