DR. WORDIN IS ASKED
 TO PROVE STATEMENT That Tuberculosis is Prevalent Among Young Irish Im-
 migrants
Correspondent of Farmer Be- lieves Local Physician Was Influenced by Scotch Woman Statistics do Not Support His Contention

Editor Farmer. Sir:-In a lecture on ''Tuberculosis" delivered before the Bridgeport Nursing association some little time ago Dr. N. E. wor- din of this city said: "It (tubercuIo- sis) is especially prevalent among the young Irish immigrants into this country"
 |. Before leaving Ireland for a visit to this country I devoted consider able attention to this particular dis ease and was much surprised to read Dr. Wordin's remarks. I immediate ly wrote the immigration authorities and the Bureau of Statistics at Wash ington. I have also a copy of the returns of the Irish Registrar-G Gen. eral for a period of several years but after close study of all these stat istics I am unable to find the slight est Justification for Dr. Wordin's charge.
 am. however, aware that the unmerited attention to alarmist state ments regarding tuberculosis in Ire land made by one Lady Aberdeen who lectured over here two seasons ago. This lady. wife of the Lord Lieutenant who is the figure head of much injury to Irish commercial in- terests by the gross exaggeration and misstatements on which her noisy crusade for the suppression of tuber- cular disease in Ireland is based. Lady Aberdeen was born in Scotland and that country has a heavier per- centage of tuberculosis than Ireland but this Scotchwoman takes a pecu- liar delight in advertising Ireland as being. diseased and she has already succeeded in damaging our export trade, particularly that of the beauti- full Irish lace which one time had a ready sale all over the world.
 In the United States you have one death every minute from the dread disease of tuberculosis but this did from coming over here and in Brook lyn moving an audience to tears" as the press reported, by the lurid de- scriptions of disease conditions in Ireland. The ratio of tubercular deaths in Brooklyn is about five times Brooklynites could not see the comic opera touches when they shed tears of pity for the unfortunate Irish.
 can only assume Dr. NE. Wordin has also been influenced by Lady Aberdeen's eXaggeration and made this serious charge against the vital ity and bodily vigor of our race with out proper study of the facts. As it stands it is serious menace to Irish interests. Employers in this and OCneT CllieS WILL Oc pTeJuOlCeO against a class that has been branded in pub lie as being especially sufferers from dreaded disease. Therefore I must request Dr. Wordin to submit his proofs, or else withdraw his statement that-Tuberculosis is especially pre- valent among the young Irish immi- grants.

What tho Boys Thouaht.

A prominent educator, talking to . class in an elementary school he had visited, decided to illustrate point he was making by a problem in long divi- sion. the intricacies of which the class had just mastered. He put down the necessary figures and then said:
 'Now, let us see how many times this number will go into the other. Let us try six" He tried six. and, as he intended, six wouldn't do. Well, let's try five, then" he said. Five was all right, and he went ahead with his talk.
 On his way home that evening he overlook two small boys with book bags under their arms and heard this conversation:
 "Say, Bill, did a long whiskered. baldheaded old feller come into your room todayf''
 "Yep," replied Bill.
 "And did he talk to you?"
 "Yep," said Bill.
 "Well. so he did to us. but the fun niest thing. by golly, was that the old chump stumped himself on an example in long division. n."-Philadelphia Times.

JIN THE THEATRES
POII'S.

Seems as if all roads lead to Poli's ] Aais week for at every performance thus far the popular playhouse mas been crowded to the doors and stand ing room has been at a premium Two reasons contribute to this conol- tion and one is the fact that 1t IS the holiday season when about every one goes to the theatre and the otner has there been g. bill offered of the high quality of this weeks and there have been some mighty good bills at Poli's this season. Jesse L. Lasky .Pianophiend Minstrels" sumptuous- iy staged and costumed and with nine people selected for their clever ness and good looks heads the bill and there is no dull moment in the almost half hour the act Is on. Benn Linn. the rotund comedian, ana an" edienne head the aggregation with Paul Mccarthy. Fremont Casson, Dixie Crane and Jack Claire in clever bits and the act moves with com mendable speed. The range or songs to "Garden of My Heart" and several rag dances are indulged in. Of course the big novelty of ten pairs of hands playing fine pianos at once is still retained. For big applause Mack and Frank Orth in their ab- surdity, '"The Wrong Hero' with Mack's inimitable singing and Orth's piano playing contributing factors in the success of, the act Another big hit is the singing turn of the Prim- rose Four. a quartet of men billed as 1000 pounds of harmony: They look as If they do weigh thousand pounds and there is no doubt as to the harmony, 1t is there.
 Others who help make the bill called "the best ever' are Charles and Rose Coventry in a classy musi- cal act: Rita Redf1eld, charming juvenile impersonator; Ernest Carr and company in political satire. ''The Grafter' and Sammy Watson's Farmyard Circus, a great collection of ali kinds of animals notably the kind one would expect to see in an up to date farmyard.
 For New Years week Manager Poli has a delightful surprise in store for his patrons for he will present triple headline bill with Lillian Her. lein, Mrs. Gardner Crane and com pany and John Ince and Patty Ali son.

A "Primitixec Painter.

Henri Rousseau, man who used to hold a minor government position in France. was for a quarter of a cen tury the joke of artists and art students in Paris. For years in the independ- ent salon he showed daubs which had not the most distant kinship with art. Some of his famous" pictures were Lady on a Sofa In a Jungle" 'Tfger In Jungle" "Nigger In a Jungle" He affected jungles. whick consisted of innumerable parallel green lines to represent grass; the tiger was painted wooden toy; the lady looked as if she had come out of a Noah's ark. The unfortunate Rousseau went on exhibiting the same sort of work every year. and the painful thing was that he gradually became a celebrity
 Sinister humorists told him he had genius, and he took himself quite se- riously. 'I am a real primitive" he would say. Some practical jokers even went the length of buying his pictures.

 ''I don't want 1t that way" the tramp insisted. "I want ter pay a quarter fer the lunch and get the beer free"
 "It's, all the same price either way,'' the barman explained. What differ- ence can it make?'
 "It's a matter O personal honor, sir. '' was the tramp's reply. "I promised the old lady wot give me the quarter that I'd spend 1t fer something to eat! See?''

 "AT THE OLD CROSS ROADS" !
 A genuine dramatic treat is prom ised the patrons of Jackson's Theatre when Arthur c. Ais ,on's company will present At the Old Cross Roads" there next Friday and Saturday. with daily matinee performances. This play has been one of the most remark able successes of the past nine sea- sons, having been toured from coast to coast. and almost in every case re- ceived by audiences which tested the capacity of the theatres. The engage ments at the Grand Opera House, New York ely. will long be remem- bered in the annals of that house as the big auditorium was nightly, dur ing each engagement. packed to its ut most capacity. and the amount of money drawn was a record breaker even for that theatre which is aihouse as noted for its enormous receipts as 1t is for the high quality of the attrac- tions appearing there. The play is conceded by all to be one of the best ories of Southern life given to the stage in recent years. Each charac- ter is drawn with a master hand and the plot of the play unfolds a deeply and probable story. The company is very strong one and con- tains many of the original caS;. Spe- cial scenic effects are carried for the production. "At the Old Cross Roads, will be seen in this city at the regular Jackson Theatre scale of popular prices.

Most Beautiful Water In World.
 Little restaurants are scattered along the cliff overlooking the bay of Capri. and here by the waters edge you can lit and sip and gaze at Vesuvius away ,ff in the distance or perhaps at the water in the bay below.
 The most beautiful water in the world! The blue water of the grotto :s more mystical, perhaps, but the wa ter of the bay of Capri is more ex- Quisite. It is a wonderful pale green, with greener, darker color streaked through it. There is no other water like it in all the world.
 And here in the little restaurant you sit and sit. gazing at the water below, although you know in your heart you ought to be seeing the rest of the place. But the water Is so green and beautiful that when the warning whis- tie of the Naples steamer blows you awake with a start and realize you have seen nothing of Capri at all- nothing but the emerald water, so en- ticing and beautifuL-Mary Sutley in Pittsburg Dispatch.
