Large sized audiences were again in attendance at the performances yes terday of the vaudeville, and everyone expressed themselves as delighted with the splendid quality of the entertain menJ offered. The bill all through is one that comments itself to the amuse- ment seeking people, and every act on the bfll is rewarded with the fleartiest applause. The pictIfes also come in for their share of commendation. and not a person leaves the theatre dissat- isfied with the pleasure which has been provided for them.
 A feature of the show which is not advertised. and which is not on the bills, is the work at the piano and drums. of Al Connors and Howard Gou1den respectively. These gentle men are thorough musicians, and they really give the effect of a full orches- tra- MT. Goulden, on the xylophone. accompanied by MT. Connors, is as clever a9 artist as appears on the regular bill, and MT. Connors gets anyone else who has ever played in the theatre. They certainly are we'll worth hearing, and their concert is alone well worth the price of admis- sion.
 By the way, the pictures change again today, and another fine set of views will be presented.
 
 The daily matinees at 2:15 provide the ladies and children an especially splendid opportunity to witness these PerformanceS., The children are ad- mitted in the afternoons for half price, whether alone or accompanied by oth- CTS, end the best of care will be taken of them- The evening performances are continuous, and commence prompt ly at 7:15. running until about 10:3 30. You can drop in any time during the evening, and stay long as you please, without any extra charge.
 This theatre is without exception the coolest place of amusement in the city during the warm weather, and it is positively refreshing to drop in there and spend an afternoon or evening.

THE THEATRES
POLI'S

Not since a resident stock company was first introduced at Polls has more perfect production been given the stock patrons of Bridgeport, than Paul Armstrong's beautiful play of Califor- mia, Salomy Jane", the offering at ancreaSlng thrOngs attest each day the universal note of approval that this play has struck here. Aside from the magnificent staging which is a char acteristic of the piece, the company is at it's best in this portrayal. Popular opinion is that this. seasons stock company is far above the merit pos sessed by any other aggregation of resident players yet presented in this city. In 'Salomy Jane" a thrilling early prospecting days, the company has a splendid vehicle and every op- portunity to display its capabilities.
 
 An extra attraction this week is the distribution at each performance, to ladies. of coupons for -he award of a magnificent Parisian Callot model gown which will be presented by MT. PoH to some fortunate lady patron next Monday matinee. The coupons should be preserved this week. At the afternoon performance on Monday next a ticket box containing the coupon stubs will be opened on the stage and an auditor will select one of the checks The patron holding the cor responding number will be awarded now being displayed in the Main street show windows of Meigs & Co.'S store.
 
 As a special feature for next Satur- day matinee a reception will be held on the stage following the final cur tain on the last act. Ladies and chii dren will be cordially welcomed by the entire company.

Corporal Tanner explains the ap- parent popular indifference to the real meaning of Memorial Day as indicat- ed by the diversity of sports and oth- CT amusements offered which are all heavily. patronized, by saying that while the population was 30.00O, 900 in 1861, it is now sO,00O. 900, and that of the 30,000,OO0 not more than 15,0O0, 900 are still alive. That is, at least 65,- 100000 of the present population have no personal remembrance of the Civil War, and their knowledge of it is wholly derived from histories. Of course, these 65,OOO OOO of the present population have no such vivid feeling in relation thereto as have the 15,- 100000 survivors of that stormy pe- riod, and the former, therefore, view Memorial Day as purely a holiday and seek amusement each in his or her own way.

CONTAMINATED MILK
 CAUSE OF EPIDEMIC

Winsted, June 2.-The origin of the typhoid fever epidemic which has been increasing steadily for the past two weeks was practically cleared up Monday by statement from the health authorities to the effect that a well on the farm of Leroy Willard, milk dealer, on the Riverton road, was infected. A majority of the victims thus far were customers of MT. Mil lard and as the well had been sus- pected from the start it was closed two weeks ago.
 The conclusions of the health off, cers are based in part upon the report of the state chemist, James A. New lands, samples of water from the well and also from the stream supplying the house and dairy having been sent to him for analysis. The last named was found to be satisfactory. but re- garding the well water he said the ex- animation showed the presence of a large amount of drainage contamina- tion. Water from this well was used to rinse the cans and to fill the tank in which the milk is cooled.
 Five new patients were reported yesterday There are now forty pa tients at the hospital.

Aerial navigation is still in its in fancy" says Count Zeppelin after a trip of 900 miles in 3s hours, ending in a wrecked airship. And yet but short time, before he said that he has a ship that cain rise from the Lake of Constance with twelve per sons on board and remain four days in the air, covering in this period some 2xO0 miles, It is quite certain he aEerred that ''in the future already visible'' there will be airships having speed of forty miles that will travel e.000 miles in two days or 4,0OO miles in four and a half days. We find diff culty in harmonizing these two state ments of Count Zeppelin. If aerial ships can travel such distance in such time with such loads, naviga- tion of the air cannot be "still in it's infancy" But his recent trip did not prove his earlier assertion On the contrary it was in affect failure, for though he remained aloft ss hours, he wfeo1Eed his ship in alishtinE.

Referring to the automobile ''hill- climbs of Monday, the. Hartford Times says they fare attractive to the public, chiefly, perhaps, because of the possibility that some of the con- testants will be killed; whether they are of any advantage to the automo- bile industry in this country we can not say" The Times adds:
 One automobile was overturned at Wilkesbarre. At Bridgeport the legs of several foolhardy onlool1ers were broken and one of the injured men Is likely to die. At WiIkesbarre 120 Horsepower Benz machine made the best time, and at Bridgeport the high est speed was developed by a 120 Horsepower Panhard. But this will not cause any demand in this country for 120 horsepower cars
 There is no need for 120 horse power cars, except for racing. Those who buy them, can have no other purpose than speeding beyond the slegal limit In some States. certainly the limit of safety upon public highways.

Hare in fhe East, the situation is very differ ent. Our major interest is manufac- turing, and it is waiting for comple- lion of the tariff -tinkering operation. Certainly as to tariff duties is the great need; it matters less than the the tarin rates to~be finally adopted.

Italy distrusts Austria. The latter is rapidly forging into prominence, under the protecting wing of Ger many, and it is fairly evident that these two powers intend to eventually constitute themselves the ftAaff6fters of European affairs. Russia is still crip- pied by the effects of the disastrous war with Japan; France has internal kdfssensions; Great Britain has lost, or ds about to lose, her 1.-two power na- val strength. The other powers are negligible quantities. The question is really between Germany and Austria upon the one side, and Great Britain. France and Russia upon the other.

A It now appears that Caruso, the fa- nous operatic tenor. was not in good voice when he left this country at the close of the grand opera season, and that the reports to such effect were well founded. An operation has since been performed on ehis. tonsils. and it is said to have been=seeeessful and the fine restoration of his voice is now declared certainty. This Is pleasing news to his many admir- erz. The wonder is that all singers who render exacting roles in. the inn
