TN THE THEATRES
POLI'S

Manager Poli is starting the new year in the right direction by furnish Ing a splendid vaudeville bill for the benefit Of his patrons Headed by the Top O the World Dancers, the entire performance is of invariahle ex- oellence and should prove one of the treats of the season.
 
 Six dainty girls, who are very clever cancers, are included in the cast of the ''Top O the World'' company. With them are two excellent comedians and principals, and the company pre- sents very clever musical comedy adaptation, Kris Kringle's Dream. '' This is labelled as the catchiest s.girl'' act in the business.
 J. R. Gordon and A. J. Pickens. pre- senting What Would You Do'', are bound to score a knockout This farce is one of the funniest ever conceived and Messrs. Gordon and Pickens are actors of the top notch variety and bring out every point of humor. The act IS one of the most popular on the board and should achieve great suc- cess.
 Other top-liners that help to com plete the great bill are: Ed. Morton, the singing monologist who never fail ed to make a big hit; Hilda Hawthorn, clever ventriloquist and dainty singer; Lamont Australian cockatoos. the feathered wonders; Mile. Line deLyle, presenting 'In Billiard Room and the Electrograph with the latest and pest success of the motion picture world.

EAST SIDE, WEST SIDE ALL AROUND TOWN

There was one thing that the stores did not have in their stock during the late holidays season and that was little black dolls with shiny eyes and kinky hair. Many negro mothers looked through the stores for dolls with black faces and found only white faces. Those who found out that the black dolls were unobtainable early enough wrote to friends in Virginia and other Southern states to purchase a black doll there forward it here.
 A centrally located store has under gone great change in the appearance of the clerks and help in general. Only the neatest and brightest of the former staff were retained after wedding out process and new sales people hired to complete the force who were also neat in appearance and pos- sessed of the look of intelligence. A friend of the proprietor's remarked to him the other day. Where did you get all of the good looking help? It seems like a different store.''
 We just made some changes" re- piled the store keeper, "you see there is nothing like presentable people back of a counter. They reflect credit upon your stock and give tone to your store. They cost more money and they bring more money into the store. Cheap help is apt to be untidy, and untidy in keeping up the stock and people do not like to shop with them very long.''
 Shall Connecticut forget it's Revolu- tionary heroes in this early day? For a couple of years the signs marking Putnam street in East Bridgeport have been spelled .eP-u-t-m- an" and
 
 thoroughfare Putnam street." for most people believe in signs. While the busy Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution are striving to beautfiy a memorial park bearing the name of the man who led the Connec- ticut Minute Men of 1776 not a one has noticed the mispelled signs in East Bridgeport. Some years ago the lamp committee of the Common Coun-i cil made an agreement with a street lighting company whereby the latter was to place street signs on all street corners. The names of the streets were sent to the firm and as no one connected with the firm had ever heard of Israel Putnam it was taken for granted that the name was wrong and it was spelled Putnam. When the signs arrived they were put up and in that way the name of the street was changed without permission of the Common Council. Some people cont notice the misspelling but those who live on the street and do notice it are not pleased.
 Many people wonder how an East Bridgeport politician keeps so many friends. That is a secret all his own but to show the loyalty of his friends there is one case where one of his constituents was out of town three days before a primary. It was found that he did not intend to return for several weeks at least. The politi~ clan dropped a. note by mail to his friend, who was in the village of Hotchkissville On receiving the note the friend walked seven miles to Nroodbury and then took a stage ride of eight miles to Waterbury where he got a train for Bridgeport. He was the first one to cast his vote when the polls opened. He said he would have come ten times the distance because his political friend did a favor for him once.

Plan to Send Peary
 Records to Copenhagen

Washington, Jan. 3.-A movement is on foot by those who would salve the wound of the Danes of the Cook fiasca as evidence of their appreciation of the Danish attitude toward America. tl have the Peary records sent to the University of Copenhagen for exani- nation. The Cook records, which were found wanting by the university, are now on their way to Washington to be examined by the National Geographic Society.
 It is held by some to be only fair that the Peary recn1Gs hould be sent to Copenhagen for examination.
 The subject is now under considera- tion by the society

JACKSON'S
H1GH GLASS VAUDEVILLE.

An audience of immense proportions ~ras in attendance at the opening per- foruance of Jackson and Sheedy'S sea- son of high class vaudeville supple mented by the latest motion pictures, and all voted it knockout from start to finish. It is a most pleasing and diversified bill. and if the same quality Is maintained in ensuing bills Jacks-on's Theatre will soon become the mecca for all local lovers of good ana clean entertainment. Capretta ana the Chefalo Co. in their mystifying H. fusion entitled "The Garden of Mys- tery', is one of the best acts of its kind ever presented here. The act IS enveIoped in a maze of mystery and fantasy and Is also replete with fine comedy moments. A gorgeous scenic equipment is afforded the act and, adds much beauty to it. The Two Roses, the magnetic musical girls, in an en- tertaining musical sketch; The Aerial Laports, in a gymnastic exhibition in n1fd-atr; The Harrison-West Trio in a breezy singing and dancing speciality and Hawley and Mills, singers ana parodfsts of great ability in an anus ing character sketch entitled "A Night or the Bowery'' conclude bill of su- perlative excellence. Some entertain ing and instructive moving picture subjects are shown.
 THOMAS k. SHEA.
 Thomas D. Shea will make his ap- pearance in Bridgeport next Friday and Saturday at Jackson's Theatre. in three powerful dramatic offerings. On Saturday evening he will present his well known dual character, ''Dr. Jekyll and Mir. Hyde. and on Friday evening saThe Bells will be submitted. At the special matinee performance Saturday Mir Shea will be seen in his new play Of New York life in the present cen tlry entitled Counsel for the De- fense"
 The scenic and electrical embellish-- rnents Of these plays are said to be Of a wonderful character and the remark able strides made by stage mechanic fans in lighting and scenic effects were never more strongly exenplified than in the presentation of MT. 'Shea's re- pertoire. It is said that Mr. Shea is a sticker for detail and that in the history of the American stage but one actor equalled him in this respect, ana that the late Richard Mansfield. In 4sThe Bells, for instance, the hay sDectre-like forms of the court. the jury and the prosecuting witness. the averaging nemesis in the person of the mesnlerist and the tall gaunt form of the accused burgomaster are made to stand out in vivid relief and yet con- vey the impression that the scene is merely a dream. The weird scenic effects employed make the productions most noteworthy Ones- The sale Of seats for the three performances com mence tomorrow morning at g.

Replying to Plttsburg inquiry
Consul0eneral Robert p. skinner OF
Hamburg says that steel railroad ties
have made great Roadway in several
European countries and notably in
Germany, and have given such fav-
orable results that any new form or
special device TO be used I'm conneS.
ton Herewith Is bound TO be exam
ined with great interest by those in
authority. Ma Skinner continues:
Progress has been made with steel
ties, although II IL Believed that for
many years to CONS the German, Rus.
sian and Hungarian forests will be
able TO supply sufficient lumber for
the German railroads. oak ties are
employed chiefly, but pine ties are
also in great demand. American red
and white oak ties are considered
to be more porous than ties cut from
European trees, and therefore are not
in particular demand.
All OF the German railway admins
tratIons have made experiments with
various kinds OF steel ties and fasten-
ers, some OF which have been dis
credited and others of which have
found established favor The quantity
OF such devices is expected to III
crease steadily. On soft and moist
ground wooden ties are preferred, u
being claimed that they rest moro
firmly in the soil than metal ties,
and particularly when the ground iH
frozen. On the solid ground which
is found in the greater part OF Mid
die and Southern Germany steel railH
are much more frequently used than
in the sandy and marshy levels o.
Northern Germany.
The importance OF steel ties and
fasteners in Germany will be appre'
ciated when It is learned that there
has been an increase in the annual
production from 100000 to 100000
tons since 1883.

REDUCING the sombrero.

The charro hat is doomed in tina
Territory OF Topic, and orders have
been given by the prefecture OF po-
lice that after January 81 all SOM
breros must not be larger than a GER
tain prescribed size.s This disposition
OF the authorities is due to the fact
that the sombrero charro has become
a Yeritable nuisance, some OF them
being almost three feet in width, and
when three or four rancheros sit
down in a restaurant there is scarce
ly room for anyone else. The edict,
therefore, has gone forth that the
wide sombrero is soon to be a mem.
ory OF the past, and anyone caught
wearing one larger than the prescrib-
ed size will be punished by the au'
thorities. Herald.

BY Candle Time.

"Jt did me good" observed q
young girl who had just returned
from England, Ito see, in real life,
one OF the old customs my grand
father used to tell me about-the
burning of the time candle at an auc.
ton. In Berkshire the old custom
still prevails, and when an auction
is in progress and an article is put
up for bidding short length OF can
die is lighted as the bidding begins.
The shouting continues until the
candle burns out, and the last bid be-
fore n fiickers it's last is the one
that takes the cake. / don't know
but It has an advantage over the go
ing, going, gone variety, but It is
