BROADWAY THEATER.

Today is the last chance to witness the. big Indian novelty act at the Broadway theater,- as Princess Chin duilla and Ed Newell play the remain der of the week in Bridgeport. This entertaining act has pleased the man patrons and the Indian love songs, sung in a clear contralto voice, have proved delightful. Those clever col ored entertainers Annie and Jim Tow el, and Cowboy Fisher, have been winning unusual applause. Kurnel, the clever canine actor, assisted by Rob- urtus and company, will remain the balance of the week, and will be seen fin their entertaining p1aylet, A True Friend. A part of the story connected with this act is told by means of mo- ton pictures and contains many fea- lures. Starting tomorrow three new acts of vaudeville will open to finish out the remainder of the week, in cluding Mir and Mrs. Sydney Reynolds, who have a sketch written around the much talked of suffragette. and is sure to show up new and humorous views of this timely topic, Joe Cook and brother are masters of the art of juggling, and will no doubt prove they are geniuses in their respective line. Gates and Blake are a team of Hebrew comedians who always get their share of laughs The motion pictures which have been exceeding good of late, are changed daily.

Street Railroad Accidents.

In spite of the distressing accident at Pittsfield, which has called public at tention to the risks under the trolley, it seems to be agreed that electric car travel in this state is steadily becon- ing more safe. The percentage of such accidents has never been large; but that is not the proper way in which to measure disasters. Their victims are not greatly comforted by statistics. What the public desires Is the highest attainable standard of safety. It is properly indignant when it finds that it has been getting along with anything less
 That the seIf-interest of transporta- tion companies of all kinds cannot alone be relied on to insure conditions of safety seems settled. While their interests are in the long run on the side of safety, the quick profit idea, often in the head of an ambitious man ager desirous of making financial record, leads him to tolerate big risks Because of this possibility the public wisely retains supervisory authority, exercised through various state agen- cies like the railroad commission. When our trolley lines were originally laid example, over the course which their engineers had mapped out. It does today. The sharp turn at the foot of the long hill, which our prevailing top quently suggest, is now invariably challenged by the commissioners. They are unwilling to let a road take all the risks which it's own engineers think req sonable. The same principle applies to the rolling stock and other equipment. The commission is steadily laying greater emphasis on those devices which make for safety.
 Senator Crane seems to have been convinced some time ago that this par ticular street railway was not operated with sufficient care, and with his large interest in the roads patrons, many of whom are his own tOwnspeople and employees, the commissioners should have moved more promptly in the in- vestigation of his complaint. He is not the man to be needlessly alarmed or to make groundless charges. The place on any road of which everybody says: There will be an accident there some time." should be taken in hand. It is not good policy to wait to test the ac- curacy of such a prediction.-Boston ir7<

THE AUDITORIUM.

Both quantity and quality are found in the bill at this popular vaudeville house this week. and many have pro- nounced it the best show this season. Miss Ethel Fuller, who was a promi- nent member of Joseph Jefferson's company a few years ago, is present. ing here this week the best bit of dramatic acting that has ever been seen in this house and every minute that she has the stage the house is so quiet a pin could be heard to drop. There is a cast of four people in the sketch and they all give good support to their leading woman The minstrel show given by the Seven Russells is a hit from start to finish, and the or iginaI jokes, exceptionally good sing ing and clever dancing bring down the house at every performance. The artistic musical novelty presented by The Forests is fine. Their banjo se lections are very entertaining and their work on the xylophone proves them to be artists of ability. Herrera,
 man who makes up as a monkey and does all kinds of monkeyshines on a perpendicular pole, is clever and his act is entirely out of the ordinary. Miss Morel1e is winning particular fa- vor with her illustrated number and the pictures are the best seen here in morne time

Lead a Debtor, Not Drive Him.

The major portion of the work of the credit man is the attention to and col lection of accounts, and it is right here where his possession or lack of the qualities of fnesse and tact will have a most important bearing upon the sales record of his house. There is nothing in a business way which will cause a man to take offense so quickly as too brusque or harsh an attitude toward him upon the part of the col lection man of the concern which he owes, and it is a great deal easier for an unWise or incompetent credit man to lose a good customer for the house than it is forsthe most skilfuI or ener- getic salesman to gain one.
 All the friendliness and good feeling between a customer and the firm which the salesman may have been months or perhaps years in forming can be completely demolished in five minutes by one unwise letter from the credit manager. It Is usually a great deal easier, anyway, to lead a man to pay you what he owes you than it is to drive him to it; it's a pretty good plan, at least to try leading him first if he won't lead tnere'll be plenty of time to drive him fterwards.-From 'HThe Work of the Credit Man." by Edward c. Blomeyer in The Book keeper for February.

BREED THEATER.e
Superior Programme of High Class
 Feature Pictures.

At the Breed theater last evening, the large audience was well pleased with the splendid programme as of fered them by this progressive house. The beautiful historical picture en- titled The Courtship of Miles Stand ish, is among the feature pictures, and the familiar story as contained in the great poem of Longfellow, is accurate ly portrayed by exceptional represent atives. the delightful love episode be- tween Priscilla and John Alden be- ing one of the prettiest pictures inn aginable.& Many of the strongest scenes are enacted on the beach, where the departure for England takes place, and the grandeur of the surf is the comment of all. The great les son of the Biograph feature is most apparent. and, the succession of strong scenes makes the picture most inn pfessive one while it is filled with an abundance of homely atmosphere that is at one realistic and interesting.
 Some of the best comedy of the sea- son is on for this week, and the audi ence indulges in one wild scream from start to finish Miss Wolcott is sing ing one of her brighetst numbers this week as a concert number, it being entitled Cupid and I, by Victor Her bert, while she also sings the pretty Illustrated song, Some Time in After Years, to the pleasure of all

Maternity.

Men like children. Unless served to them in unlimited doses or at inop- perfume times. most men like most children, and they are apt to be ex- ceedingly fond of their own children. Should they have none, still the thought of children of their own ap- peals to them about as strongly as that of any other benefit to be bestow- I'd upon them. Women, having the sole physical care of children, are pop nlar2y supposed to possess the larger fhare of devotion to them, but this is , m unfair division of parental senti- nent for though he may be clumsy in his expression of it and reticent and nnskilled in it's display, the father is considerate Of its welfare, and as ready to make sacrifices for it as the mother. There is perhaps nothing shat so holds man to a woman, even to him, as the fact that she is the mother Of his child.
 Neither is it to be successfully de- nied that the majority of women, down in the bottom of their hearts, want to be mothers. There may be circun- stances in their lives that have tenn porarily warped their instinctive pref erences. There may be prohibitions of the spirit and of the body. There may be a waste of moral strength in fool ish ways of living. There may be a sacrifice of nervous energy in the per- petual motion most social women con- may render a woman unfit for mother hood or undesirous Of it's responsibility but they only temporarily abate the love of the child in her breast. and it is never very far distant
 Deny it as she may, woman finds it unescapable that while the work of the world might be successfully accom- pIished without her assistance, as a mother she is indispensable. Yet we find her cultivating these substitutes under the name of broadening mental fty- We find her using up her nervous energy in the pursuit of larger variety of living that domestic life affords, and so unf1tting herself physically for un- successful rhood.-Margarett M Tu4tle in Collfer's-

When Change to Partnership is Easy

The Springfield Republican sees a sign of the times in the reversion of the Skinner Manufacturing company to a partnership way of doing busi- ness. The Republican says: Tt may have been noticed that the. William Skinner Manufacturing company of Holyoke has changed back from cor porate form of conducting the Business , to a partnership, of which the directors of the corporation are the members. It will now be known under the old name of William Skinner & Sons. No doubt the new federal corpora ton in- come tax law is responsible for the change. In this way both the tax and its publicity features are avoided. If the law stands the test of the courts there will undoubtedly be a great movement on the change over into partnerships. But few corporations as large as the Skinner company could make this change, because there are few such where the partnership stands in one family as this great industry does.-Holyoke Transcript
