 WARD IN SESSION
Delightfully."- Entertained at Home of Senator and Mrs. Archi-
 bald M'Neil

The Women's Staff of the Chil- dren's ward of the Bridgeport hospi- tai was delightfully."- entertained yes terday afternoon at the residence of Senator Archibald McNeil, 1000 Fair field avenue, the occasion being the 18th annual meeting of the staff.
 The most delightful feature of the meeting was the concert given with the assistance of MT. McNeil, who rendered a number of selections up- on the immense Aeolian organ in stalled in his house, perhaps the fin est instrument of it's kind in any pri- yate residence in the State.
 All his life MT. McNeil has been an ardent devotee of music, particu- Iarly the better class, and probably there isn't another amateur in the country who is his equal in the man agement of the Aeolian organ. With inc splendid instrument at his dis posal MT. McNeil is able to produce all the effects of complete orches- ira and the concert was a revelation ed:

IN THE THEATRES
KEENEY'S EMPIRE

The Quaker City Four, is the big singing act that heads the bill at Keeney's for the. balance of the week. No musical act of the season has made such a good impression as the one this quartet offers. At all per- formances yesterday they received several curtain calls. They carry their own scenry and the setting is the interior of a blacksmith shop. When the curtain rises on this scene it is the signal for outburst of ap- plause. The Golden Gate trio, refined colored entertainers. have a nice of fering of singing; dancing and a rapid fire conversation. The Mandys offer novelty to the bill. They introduce during their act, four rounds of fast boxing. Brooks and Vedder offer pleas ing songs and up-to-date comedy. A big Parisian novelty, The Dettmar Troupe introduce for the first time here acrobatic dancing. New pictures close the show.

POLES.

Ono of the solid hits on the bill this week is the Chadwick Trio in their comedy sketch "For Sale, Wig gins Farm" and the decided hit of the Chadwick Trio is Ida May Chad
 wick a young girl who holds the championship honors and the medals that go with it as the worlds premier hard shoe dancer. She has all others stopped in the dancing line and the opinion of the. \Poli audiences is that she is entitled to the bonors. Of course dainty and artistic little Ethel Green. the singing comedienne and the last word in personal magnetism headlines the bill and is breaking all records in winning applause in fact 1t is a week of applause winning on the part of acts and Cooper and Robinson that very clever colored team. The Hennesseys the smart style singers and dancers, Connolly and Webb in their comedy sketch with piano trim. mings, Adonis and Dog in wonderful act and the Konerz Brothers all arouse the audience to great enthusiasm.
 For the coming week Manager Poli .4las booked in another most attractive bill of all stars headed by Theo and her Dancing Dandies. Theo is known as The Balloon Girl by reason of the fact that during one of her songs she sails out and over the head of the audiences. Incidentally she is a. French girl of beautiful figure and rare charm and a decided hit all over the circuit AS special feature Man ager Poli will offer Marion Carson and company in the operatta "The Belle of Seville" Miss Carson was prina donna with Sam Bernard and Flo Ziegf1eld and she has assisting her a trio of male singers of reputation. Other acts on the coming weeks bill will include Tom Waters in his great mono -pianologue; Barnes and Craw- ford in "The Fakir and the Lady; Claude Roode Americas premier wire er$ast: Camille Trio the greatest com edy bar act in vaudeville and Clemons and Dean novelty dancers and singers. But few good seats remain for the performances this week and first askers will get first choice.

MONTGOMERY AND STONE
 IN THE OLD TOWN'
MONTGOMERY AND

MONTGOMERY AND
 Thrice welcome for their own sake
 10 the theatregoers who know them
 we'll, will be David Montgomery and
 Fred A. Stone, who come to Jackson's Theatre next Monday evening for single performance for the first pres-
 entation here of their new comedy,
 The Old Town. To the many vis- 1tors within Bridgeport's hospitable
 gates, as well as to the regular pa-
 irons of Jackson's theatre opportunity so timely afforded to see these unique comedians in George Ade's character 1stlcally humorous musical comedy will doubtless be cordially, accepted, for besides Chicago and New York, Philadelphia is the only city in which Montgomery and Stone have thus far appeared in their latest and in some way their most congenial vehicle. Montgomery and Stone are favorite comedians here. They sufficiently demonstrated it in two record-break- ing engagements in "The Red Mill" Town lot of joyful surprises are in store in the indefatigable MT. Stones novelties of impersonation, dancing and acrobatic achievement. His lariat dance. the Japanese ballet, the cow boy ensemble and the suffragette chorus are three of the numbers which found exceptional favor with the public during the New York run of '"The Old Town" Since MT. Chas. Dillingham; is the managerial sponsor for the Ade play, it is sufficient to say that all the fastidious details of decoration and appointment, for which his productions are always remarkable will be noted in the mounting of '"The Old Town.' The company supporting Montgomery and Stone has been care fully chosen and capably drilled un- der the. direction of Fred Latham. The original English pony ballet in a laughable bag-pipe speciality and sev- eral exceptionally we'll executed danc- ing numbers is one of the features of the performance, which is remarkable indeed, for high class incidental num- bers. Among the well known princi- pals in support of Montgomery and Stone are -Allene Crater, Charles Dox, Flossfe Hope, w. J. Mccarthy, Eloise Reed, Lyndon Law. Genevieve Reed, c. L. Kelly, Nathalie Greene. Harold Russell, Fred Perrine and Clementine Dundas. Bridgeport is indeed most fortunate in being visited by this at- traction this season. It is the first, and one of the four of the so-called smaller cities that will be played the entire season. The sale of seats for this performance will commence on morning.

 IRELAND'S FUTURE British Constitutional COnven- tiOn to Determine Her
 Status BOTH PARTIES ARE
 AGAINST REDMOND Powers of an American State For Ireland is What May be Agreed UpOn-COnven- ton Next Year

The. following Special Cable Des-
 patch to The New York Sun, today,
 is of much interest.
 London, Nov. fit, may now be
 announced on the best authority that the conference of the leaders of the Government and of the Opposition to consider the question of the House of Lords will result in the holding of a broad constitutional convention next year which will deal with the whole subject of the Federation of the Bri- tish Empire. This degree of under standing among the leaders has been reached during the last three weeks, whereas a month ago, no agreement seemed possible. The explanation of growth in favor of the Federation idea among political men of all classes.
 Ireland of course was the chief stumbling block. It was found that even the most radical members of the Government, including Winston Churchill and Lloyd George, were the degree of Independence possessed by Canada and Australia. They were willing to concede to her relations to the Imperial Government similar to those of Ohio with Washington or Ontario with the Dominion of Can- dQd. The On1OulSI lcdOGTS are VSduy to compromise the Irish question on that basis.
 The details of local government for Scotland, Wales and England must be worked out next year at the conven- tion. In the meantime constitution al questions will be left in abeyance in Parliament, and by mutual agree ment between both the British parties MT. Redmond, will be deprived of all power to embarrass the Government, the Unioists if necessary voting with the Cabinet.
 MT. Redmond has vacillated so fre- quently since he has been in Aneri- ca that his real position is not yet here by anybody, but ac- cording to despatch from Albany published in today's papers he de home rule similar to that en- joyed by the Independent colonies. Should he attempt to press this de- mand when Parliament reassembles he will meet the combined opposition Of the Liberals and Unionists.
 MT. OConnor, according to the lat est despatches, favors the milder form of home rule enjoyed by the individ- ual States of America. There is growing evidence that the masses of Irish home rulers will welcome such a disDenSation.
 Public opinion as whole In this will receive the announcement of the proposed solution of the con- crisis with satisfaction. It will officially be made public soon after Parliament meets.

A lady residing In the vicinity OF

that there was surely d Jack the

no had been seen In the vicinity OF

He has been seen also on Walnut

been hiding. He put his hand over
the lady's mouth 10 prevent her from
screaming but by her strength she
managed to free herself suflciently
to give warning and a man not far
distant came TO her assistance. The
"hugger" ran down the alley into the
darkness and was coon out OF reach.
II seems that the fellow does not
intend injury, as his manner IL not or
violent nature. He simply grabs
his victims and embraces them. but
what 1t might lead to should he be
allowed TO so free Is hard 10 say.
