 The sweeping success of the Social ists in the large city of Milwaukee, where they recently elected a mayor and 21. councilmen besides many minor officials, has caused great com ment everywhere throughout the country.
 The chances of the Socialists carry ing out their municipal program which calls for many radical reforms for the benefit of the people have been discussed by the press all, over the country.
 The people will watch with interest the career of Mayor Seidel while in office. The Socialists while admitting n any things in their program are home rule" is denied by the State, still maintain that they will demon strate the entire practicability of their program in Milwaukee.
 The subject of MT. Oppenheimer's S lecture will be "Milwaukee-And Aft err anu he will try to show how the Socialists not only in Milwaukee, but Tn Bridgeport and every other city will soon be bringing about reforms which a few years ago were laughed at as visionary and utopian.

BIRD MILLMAN

With the announcement of the Dill
 for next week at Polls comes hkeWise
 the announcement of the closing o1 vaudeville for the present season. the final performance being on Sa!urudy night, May 14. Manager Poll evi- dently believes in giving his patrons something to remember the clos ne week, for he has booked in an espe- cialIy fine bill of vaudeville headed py 10 less a novelty than the "Old SoioleI
 Fiddlers'', distinctively one of the most novel acts ever offered the public: Fiddling old tunes as they dld m Ine days before the war. the Old soldier FTddlers' auartette consists Of Captain
 John H. Thomas of the 147th ono Volunteers, Infantry. Army of the Po-
 tomac; Major Hammerly. Captain
 Ford's Company, 34th Virginia cay Virginia Cavalry Battalion Army of Northern Virginia; and Colonel J; A.
 Pattee, late of Company K. 24th Mich
 igan Volunteer Infantry and an officer in the Army of the Potomac from lSo2
 to 1865
 tette as will be noted are "Boys in
 Blue'', and the other two are Boys
 in Cray, and they appear in the unl-
 forms of the war. Old folk songs
 some of them so old they seem almost
 new. will be revived by the "boys'
 
 setting showing the battlefield or Gettysburg twenty years after the Civil War, and they revive the old tunes that will be cherished as long as America is the home of the free.
 Sometimes in their act the memory of war days gets so strong in them that it is not unusual for one to jump to his feet and give the old rebel yell which will be a revelation to the younger generation. Everywhere these old veterans, their combined ages az gregate nearly 300 years, have appeared they have aroused patriotic enthusiasm that is remarkable ana Bridgeport will be in no way behind In showing the true spirit.
 In a comedy vein will be the special feature of the bill. Victor Smalley's sketch, sBaseballitis'' playlet hing ing about a dyed in the wool fan and presented by the Eyers-Wisdom Com pany. It tells of the tribulations of a woman whose husband is a thirty third degree baseball fan and spends every afternoon at the game and every evening at his club telling about the afternoon game. She determines to cure him of his hobby, and how she does it is cleverly brought out in the playlet. The added feature of the bill will be Bird Millman and Company presenting the greatest wire act ever presented on an stage. and others on the bill include Horace Wright and Rene Dietrich in the classiest singing act of the season; Conlin. Steele and Carr in bits from musical comedy; the. Hamlins in clever dancing and sing ing. and the Wood Brothers, the fa- nous Irish athletes.
 This weeks bill headed by ''The Devil, the Servant and the Man, a most interesting playlet and with Louis Simon. Grace Gardner and com pany in "The New Coachman". and the Flying Martins in their sensational trapeze act, has pleased thousands and will be seen for the last time tonight It is a splendid bill and those who have not seen it are missing some grand feature acts.

JOSEPH A. O'BRIEN'S DEATH

(Editorial in Meriden Journal.) The almost instant death of Archi- tect Joseph A. O'Brien, of Bridgeport hrother-in-law of John H. McMahon of this city, secretary of the Connec- t;cut Breweries company, in the shocking automobile racing accident at Milford yesterday, is the latest ol long list of fatalities, which appear the more appalling the nearer they come to home.
 MT. O'Brien was we'll known to many Meriden people and popular with all who knew him. He had al ready gained a statewide reputation in his profession. To his sorely afflict- ed family the sympathy of all will be extended.
 The death of MT. o'Brien will be used as arother text for many ser
 mons, oral and written, on fast auto driving, and there M oe for mo- ment more care used in the running of motor cars, but the lesson of the fearful accident will soon be forgotten and just as long as men with red
 blood own autos,j just so long will they take chances on the road. The chal- lenge to a race, or match or test of superiority is rarely declined, wheth- CT with motor, horse, hands or feet and it is merely human that it is so.
 Over some lives lost as a conse- quence there will be general regret; over others little care expressed, if felt
 In the case at hand the prominence and popularity of the victim add to the shock of the news and the regret at the quick ending of a most prom ising career is widespread.
 The fact that MT. O'Brien was so we'll known here and that he was on his way tc Meriden to call on rela- lives when he met his death gives the accident a special local interest and adds to the sorrow that Meriden friends share with those in Bridge port and other parts of Connecticut.

Campbell and the stage manager of the company and in less than ten minutes had the bill of sale for the entire production resting comfortably in his coat pocket. This scenic equipment Is considered by competent judges to be one of the most sumptuous and elaborate ever set upon stage, and will be most welcome adjunct to MT. Sperry's ex- tensive paraphernalia. Although the prices came high MT. Sperry feels a4n- ply repaid for his expenditure, and is now in possession of scenic eouip- ment equalling any of the large pro- ducing managers. This last purchase of MT.

JACKSON's
THE CIRCUS CHAP"

Tonight's performance of Robert M Sperry's annual closing production, The Circus Chap" merry comedy in three acts, closes one of the most remarkable engagements ever played Dy any attraction in local playhouse Besides being remarkable. it has also proved pleasurable and profitable, and has succeeded in smashing all sorts of existing box office records at Jack sons theatre. The house has been practically sold out at every perform ance, and all in attendance unhesi- tatlngly say that they were immense ly pleased and delighted and in some instances amazed at the excellence of this, MT. Sperry's latest effort. There IS no denying the fact that the play is the best thing ever written by this prolific writer: the cast is without a question the greatest ever assembled in a closing production, and would rank most favorably with any of the high priced travelling organizations while the special added vaudeville fea- ture, Felix & Caire initiating the most popular and prominent musical com edy favOrites, has proven one of the greatest if not the greatest vaudeville team. 1t has ever been the pleasure for local theatregoers to see. Despite the fact that these talented young sters have been headliners in a num- Der of the most important independent Vaudeville theatres, they came into this city practically unheralded, and have won their many thousands of already gained local friends and ad- mirers by pure dint of their extra ordinary ability. While the sale of seats for the closing performance to- night has been of a heavy order, there are few good seats remaining, but to secure any of them, one is advised to make an immediate call at the box-office.
 ALL STAR YIDDISH co.

 JOHN DREW IN 'INCONSTANT
 GEORGE"
 The visits of John Drew to this city always attract audiences of excep- tional brilliancy and his forthcoming appearance here at Jackson's theatre next Wednesday evening should be an occasion of particular note because of the sentimental interest attached in view of his recent successful re- covery from the distressing accident which occurred at the height of his run at the Empire theatre in New York MT. Drew's vehicle this season is an uncomingly clever adoption of a French comedy of manner entitled "Inconstant George" His supporting company is headed by the strikingly beautiful Miss Mary Roland.
