MAYOR bUCK1NGhAM GIVE PROMISE TO
 OPEN CARMINTIvAL
Will Preside Over Opening Ex- ercises of Big Social and
 Amusement Event

Announcement was made today that Mayor Buckingham will formally open the Carmintival, the two nights pre-lenten event of the Ladies' of Charity at the Colonial ball room next Monday and Tuesday. A com mittee representing the society waited upon the mayor yesterday and re- ceEed his promise of hearty co-opera- tion in the work of the Carmintival. He will deliver a brief address at the opening of the event next Monday night.
 Director George Finkelstone of the Casmintival Minstrels has called a rehearsal at the home of Mrs. M. H. Fosd Thursday evening. He annount- ed today that he has practically suc- ce9ded in securing as a big new fea- tuIe of his minstrel show 8 group of well known vocalists whose appear ance is expected to greatly enhance interest in the much talked of fea- ture of the opening night. A score of young women will take part in the perienced in such productions, will round out the cast and swell the chorus. A dozen of the most popular song hits will be introduced.
 Preparations for the Card Carni- val, the feature of the second night, more elaborate than for any such event in the history of the city. Provision will be made for more than a thousand card players, and in addi- tion to this, there will be dancing and other attractions in progress during the play. These are but few of the numerous features of amusement that are being prepared for the Carminti- val. All the funds will be devoted to the works of mercy quietly accom- plished throughout the year by the Ladies' of Charity through St. Vim cents hospital.

HARDY HIT LANE,
 LANE HIT GROUND,
 POLICE TOOK BOTH
Man Who Was Trimmed" Failed to Appear in Court Other One Released

Dennis Lane of 246 Madison avenue forfeited a bond of $25 in the city court this morning rather. than ap- pear and explain the circumstances which led up to his receiving a sound thrashing from Charles Hardy, a bar tender.
 Owing to Lanes failure to appear, the case against Hardy was nolled.
 The trouble occurred when the two men encountered at Pequonnock and Harral avenues early this morning. Lane had been dozing in Hardy's sa- loon, and the latter in closing up thrust Lane out into the snowdrifts with no gentle hand.
 Lane accordingly laid in wait for the bartender. When the two met, the battle was brief and decisive and end ed with Lane sitting in the snow. nursing battered face, and a split ear and trying to collect his senses.
 The ambulance and police patrol were called. Lanes injuries were dressed and both and he and Hardy were arrested. Each gave bonds of s25 for his appearance in court this morn ing.

The name Caught in Mid-ocean"
~THE AMERICAN PARMA DONNA.
Miss Adna Blanche Showalter, Who Is to Be Heard Here This Even- ing, Has Never Studied
 Abroad.

Tn addition to having an American ancestry dating back for a century and a half, Miss Edna Blanche Show alter, ''the American prima donna V. r. Symphony Orchestra has pre- pared for an operatic career wholly in America. She determined, years ago. to forego opportunities for Flu ropean study, and to try to demon strate what she believed ought to be true and ought to be known-that American girls. of real musical tal- ent, need no longer go abroad for training.
 Mime. Lamperti, widow of the great =. of vocal teachers, tried to per suade her, some years ago, to study with her in Paris, and assured her of quick European appearances and triumphs No one in Italy can sing the Madame, Butterfly music as beau tifuliy as you sing it." she told the young American girl.

Again Miss Showalter adhered to her plan to be. in due course. recognized as the first American prima donna of unquestioned first rank who had nev- CT studied abroad.
 She fought the fight, and she has won the hardest of the battles. For she has already been engaged for ninety appearances in grand opera next season, under auspices not yet divulged. but which, it is said, will place Miss Showalter in the very front rank of the younger prima don

THIS WEEK AT POLES
Capital List of Offerings Please
 Big Opening Audiences

Pat Rooney and Marion Bent made their annual appearance in Bridge port, last night, and were warmly well will visit Poli's to see the speedy little dancer and the sweet little actress so long as they shall be upon the stage, for to assume that the management of this family theatre will not have them in Bridgeport at least once dur ing the season Is unthinkable. Again and again were Pat and Marion re- called. Their sketch is called "At the News Stand'. but 1t would be as good, were it called anything whatever with Pat and Marion making the fun.
 Another Sterling team, also known to Bridgeporters on this bill is Pusey and Ragland, who pass more fun over the footlights in few minutes than Is frequently contained in an entire musical comedy. How they do it Is known only to themselves. But they knock 'em off the seats just the same, which is all that can be asked. Their gags are newer than ever. which is almost more than the moneys worth from a couple of fellows who can make an old joke sound just as if it had come fresh from the Garden of Eden
 Among other features that receiv-
 
 Rexos in comedy roller skating and very skillful and very graceful they were. Jerge and Hamilton did some singing and dancing. the young wom- an being especially attractive as a dancer. The "Musikalgirls'' presented a novel number. concluding with striking finale entitled Teddy After Africa" violin, cello. cornet, trombone, piano and drum were the instruments which the girls cleverly played. Be- dini & Arthur offered a juggling nov city which really was novel.
 Some of the best bareback riding ever seen on the vaudeville stage was offered by Bradna & Derrick, who us- ed in their work three beautiful horses. The animals brought SOE'sF of admiration from everybody and .ap- peared to thoroughly. enjoy them selves.
 The general impression seemed to be that for laugh getter this weeks show is likely to prove the best. of the season..

SUICIDE MANIA
 IN VIENNA
Four Suicide Clubs, One Composed Wholly of Boys and Girls.

Vienna, Feb. 21-Figures just pub- lished of the suicides during the past year show that the Viennese killed themselves at the rate of four a day a total of 567, the highest ever re- corded. In addition there were 891 at- tempted suicides.
 The police have discovered tn xist- ence of four suicide clubs, the mem bers of one of them being boys and girls. Of the successful suicides. more than 100 were of children under IS years of age.
 The men suicides outnumber the women three to one. The majority of the victims of the mania for self-des- truction hanged themselves. The old est victim was a man of 90, the young est boy of F.
 Love troubles were the motive for most of the suicides, and after these came family differences. mental dis orders, sickness, poverty and general weariness of life.
 The Salvation army has been appeal ed to to establish an anti-suicide bu- reau in Vienna as 1t has done in oth- CT cities, and the public school teach CTS have instructions to impress up- on the children the wickedness and cowardice of self destruction.

FLYING FIRE SQUADRON
 VOTED FOR NEW HAVEN

The New Haven board of fire com- missioners at special meeting last night voted to purchase an automobile apparatus for flying squadron which will be stationed at one of the central fire houses and will answer to all the fires in all except the very outermost parts of the city. While the board has not yet decided just where to put the new apparatus, it is believed that it will be stationed at the house of truck one on Artisan street.
 The establishment of the flying squadron comes as the sequence to lengthy planning, that has been sup ported by Chief Fancher for some time. Most of the large cities have a system of this kind. The auto wagon will be especially built for speed and will mean that five Or six men ac- cording to the number of those in the squadron, will be on hand within but a short time of the start of any fire.

Alleged Embezzler Fails
 to Get His Bonds Reduced
Samuel Singer Held in Bail
 of $2,5O0 for Action by Massachusetts Authorities

The case against Samuel Singer. alias Samuel Katz, alleged to be a fugitive from justice was continued until Friday under bonds of g, 800 in the city court this morning to await extradition from the police of Chelsea, Mass.
 Singer, who is accused of having embezzled the proceeds from the sale of a number of sewing machines in Chelsea five years ago, pleaded with the court this morning to have his bail reduced to $1,00o but was refused by Judge Foster
 Singer declared that if the court would fix his bail at $1,O00 he might be able to secure that sum. Judge Foster didn't consider this sufficient reason for granting the request and ordered the bail maintained at $2,500 in lieu of which Singer was taken back to iail

BUSINESS INTERESTS
 DON'T WANT EXTRA
 SESSION OF CONGRESS.

Washington, Feb. 21--Big business put it's finger in the reciprocity pie, today, and announced that it must be baked and delivered before March 4.
 ."We don't want an extra session; let's have rest from legislation" de- clared the financial agents. An extra session now will keep the House in a turmoil all summer because the Dem ocrats are apt to start most anything when they get hold of the House. We want this tariff thing to rest until next December anyway"
 The business representatives are bringing their influences to bear on Senators who control the situation and if they fail there then all the big guns of Wall street will be turned on the White House.
