A GOOD INVESTMENT.

As an eye-opener showing to what limits some towns are going in order to secure new industries it is timely to call attention to Danbury, where consideration is being given to the advisability of employing a man who will give all of his time to promoting the industrial interests of that place. It is suggested that he be called an industrial commissioners man who will search out industries and beckon them to Danbury instead of having Danbury wait for industries to happen to come its way.
 What Danbury proposes to do along this line, many another city has done and is doing, with profit. The right man employed as industrial promoter pays his way many times over, and it is usually true, we be- lieve, that the highest grade men em- ployed in that capacity pay the rich est profits. It is not a work, in fact in which inferior men would be like ly to compel success, and it is pOSSi ble that in some cities even the ablest might not prove their real worth. But in cities that are naturally pro- gressive; that have assets worth ad- vertising; that have advantages that need only to be pointed out in order to be evident; in such cities, we be- lieve, the industrial commissioner who starts in to earn his salary and to make a name for himself as well as for the city he serves, will be found good investment. -Ansonia Sentinel.

 Auto and Leg Broken.

Noroton, Aug. 3-An Italian laborer, whose name could not be ascertained. had a leg broken here late yesterday when he was yanked out of a ditch, which he was digging, by an automo- bile. The ditch was a narrow one, being dug for a water pipe, and the Italian was bending over digging so that his shoulders were just above the surface of the road. An automobile driven by James Haywood took curve on the road at such a speed that he was unable to stop when he saw the hole in the ground and put ting on more speed ran over it. In passing over it a part of the machine caught the Italians clothing and he was pulled out of the ditch and drag ged several feet before the machine was stopped. A leg was broken and he was cut and bruised At Stam- ford hospital his condition is not thought to be serious.

POLI'S.

No play presented at Polls thus far this season can be credited with the aggregate amount of applause and laughter than can "Wildfire" and that is the best proof of it's popularity. This play of the racetrack is a com posite of highly humorous incidents, exciting situations, race track slang, charmingly gowned women and we'll dressed men. There is not dull moment from start to finish and Stage Director Eagle has injected lots of vim and go into the players with splendid results. Individual hits are scored by John Ince, Anne Hollinger, Eddie Merrigan, Tom Reyonlds, Cor don Domaine and Frank Kirke as well as by John German in the role of the colored jockey and John G. Fee in light comedy role. The play is splepdidly staged and an all around success. Seats for the remaining per formances are selling rapidly and unless calculations go wrong it will likewise be the financial hit of the season.
 the present season will be next week when Alice Fleming returns to the cast and appears in the Viola Allen play ''The White Sister, The pick of the players will be in her support and Manager Poli has made a ten strike engaging Henry Crosby one of the best character men in the country to play the role originated by James O'Neil. MT. Crosby who is married to a Bridgeport girl is enjoying a va cation here at the present time after finishing, a long engagement at the Orpheum, Denver, and he will give a great performance of the role assign ed. Miss Fleming, it might be said, made the hit of her long career in the role she plays next week during her recent engagement at Ottawa and no actress could wish for more praise than she received from the critics there. The week will be a memorable one for the return of Alice Fleming to Bridgeport is an event in itself and her thousands of friends will give her a warm welcome. Stage Director Eagle Is most enthusiastic over the production and predicts it will be the stock hit of the year.
