(IN THE THEATRES
POII'S.

l Japanese Week at Polls with the 1 beautiful and artistic decorati tions and the Nipponland atmosphere through out is appealing to the Po1i clientele and the public in general as evidenced by the crowded house at each perform ance. The lobby of the theatre is said to be the most artistically dec orated interior that has ever been seen in this city. The center piece, and the pivot around which all the decorations revoIve is an immense Japanese fan, the largest in the big : emporium of Vantine & Company Of New York and from the fan radiate brilliantly lighted Japanese lanterns, hundreds of small flags and a novel grouping of chrysanthemums. At the head of the lobby stairway is a floral bower of chrysanthemums and artistic touches are everywhere shown. The decorating scheme is carried out in the same manner inside the theatre, and as one enters the delicious fragrance of the sweet smelling Japanese water lily still further gets one into the Jap anese atmosphere.
 Some very complimentary remarks have been made about the decorations and they have attracted large numbers of people even before and between performances. AS to the bill, the nov city of two headline Japanese acts is certainly unique in vaudeville. It must be remembered that in view of the restrictions placed upon the Jap
  there are but few Japanese acts now playing the States. Thus it is in the nature of record to have two of the best that Japan offers, namely the Japs. on the same bill as they are at Polls this week They appear by. special permission of the Mikado and their term in this country is limited to January first, when they return to fill engagements in London, and then back to their native land
 The-@at furnished by the Eight Gei- sha Girls is charmingly dainty and artistic. and those who witness the act must bear in mind that the Ge1sha Girls present native dances only and Nipponland. Those who are disap- pointed in not seeing high kicking, Apache dancing and the like must rel member that should a group of chorus panies visit Japan their dancing would seem just as odd to the Japs as the dancing of the Geisha Girls to some of us. In the final analysis one must admit that the girls are most artistic and the simple fact of their artistic handling of the Japanese fans stamps them as artistes.
 The male Japanese end of the bill is supplied by the Satsuda Japs, offer ing a surprising series of feet ba1anc- ing stunts that border on the marvel ous and proving conclusively that the little brown men can be real comedians when the opportunity offers.
 The added feature of the bill is the act of Conroy and Le Maire, "The Pin ochle Ffends''. a great big laughing number, and all the other acts on the bill are most entertaining, especially the act of Nellie Lynch and Al Wes- ton. Some splendid views of art and industry in Japan are shown and Jap anese Week promises to be long re- membered by Poli patrons.
 At the Thursday and Friday mat inees the Geisha Girls will hold recep- tions and souvenirs will be distributed to all the ladies in the audience.

REAL SCOUT ENTERTAINS BRIDGEPORT MEMBERS OF
 "BOY SCOUT" MOVEMENT

Bridgeport members of the Boy Scout movement and their friends were entertained at the Y. M. c. A. rooms last night with an address by Major Edwin Randolph Short, an old soldier who is head of the New England de- partnent of Boy Scouts. Some in teresting side lights on the character of the American Indian were portray ed by Major Short, who is well versed in the redskin temperament, having served in Clusters famous command, and having battled against the Indians in many of the important wars.
 Major West said that the popular idea of Lo! the poor Indian! is a very mistaken one, and that as a matter of fact the redskin is brutal, lazy, treach- erous and a thief. He described many thrilling experiences, including the fight at Little Big Horn where Gus ter and his command met their fate. Major Short said that after the battle, when he arrived on the scene with General Reno's command, he exam ined Clusters body and found but one mark on it and that was a bullet wound from a A caIibre revolver, such as used by the Government troops. He said that the audience could draw it's own conclusions.
 Major Short entertained his hearers with a number of sentences in the In dian tongues, in which he is well Versed.

LADIES NIGHT AT JAHRMARKT SHOULD
 BRING BIG CROWD
Special Attractions This Evening Planned For Big German Fes-
 tival at the Armory

Although scores of German women
 are assisting in the success of the Jahrmarket by their services in con- nect1on with the booths, the Germans have set aside this evening to be ob- served by the women of Bridgeport as Ladies night,'' when those who are anxious for the welfare of the Jahr- markt may demonstrate in an espe- c1a1 manner their good will towards the big amusement undertaking. It is therefore exoected that the wives and sweethearts of the Germans affiliated with the 13 societies con- nected with the Bridgeport Central Verband as well as the other women throughout the city, will swell the reg uIar patronage of the Jahrmarkt this evening. Delightful musical selections by the Platt Troupe of Tyro1eans and other attractions designed to appeal particularly to the. fair. sex will be provided in prodigal profusion.
 Patronage of all departments of the Jahrnarkt each night has been very gratifying in its extent. This is es- pecially true of the German garden score of assistants are serving nightly a fine assortment oe home cooked German dishes, and this feature prom 1ses to be one of the most talked of and generally pleasing of the entire enterprise.
 Last evening unexpected interest was pearance of more than 100 members of the Ladies of Charity of St. Vim cent de Paul who took occasion of this opportunity to demonstrate their appreciation of the cooperation of the German societies in the Cosmo- villa which the Germans liberally pa tronized. The Ladies of Charity visit ed all the attractions and contributed liberally to the success of the night.
 Germania night was signal1ed by the appearance of the Germania Singing society led by Prof. John Adam Hugo. Their numbers were rendered in their usual finished manner, and each was generously app1aQded-> The TyroIean troupe continued it's emphatic success of the opening night, while the other attractions of the Jahrmarkt aroused so much enthusiasm that the leaders of the undertaking expressed them selves as confident that the Jahrmarkt will be an unexpectedly profitable event.
 Tomorrow will be Schwaeben night with the SchWaebischer Maennerchor attending in a body and singing un- der the direction of Prof. J. H. Keller. Friday is to be Arion night and Sat urday Everybody's night.

nearly three years as clerk of the

nently fitted for any position in the
county for which he may aspire,
None deny he has made notable
success of the financial affairs of the

endowed with the qualities which go
to make an efficient official.
The clerks reports for the past
four years will bear out our state
ment that he has saved the town in
incidental expenses some $4,000, and
during this period over $4,000 of the
villages bonded indebtedness was
paid, reducing the same to about
$4,000.

Unfortunately ior the movement
started in Cleveland among the work
ingmen, who are pledging themselves
lot to eat meat for month in order
to bring its price down, meat is not
the only thing that is dear. While
they abstain from flesh will they eat
bread? Flour is about as high in
proportion as meat. Eggs are rela'
lively even higher and so humble an
article of food as beans shows larg-
er percentage OF advance in cost in
ten years than almost anything else
on the list. However, such a move
ment as that in Cleveland may not
be without advantage. Just as the
prosperity of Florida is said to date
from the great frost that killed the
orange groves and forced the farm
ers to raise early vegetables, so there
may be real economic gain from
high prices if they send consumers In
search of substitutes for some of the
more costly articles of food. The
people of this country seem to know
little abo economics in diet which
are practiced by European peoples.
If the Cleveland workingmen abstain
from meat for month perhaps they
will learn how to substitute for it
other foods which cost less than beef
or mutton.

church, to which she remained faith
full to the end. For few years she
has been deprived of attending di-
vine services in part on account of
failing health, but her interest in the
cause did not cease.
There remains to mourn her de-
parture, three daughters, Ida l., wife

burg, O., and Eva V. Zingg, also OF
