Popular School
 Teacher Dead WAS MEMBERS OF CORPS OF BOsTWICK AVENUE SCHOOL
 FOR NINE YEARS. MISS GILLIAN HAD SEEMINGLY REGAINED HER HEALTH AND WAS PREPARING TO RE-
 SUME HEIR DUTIES.

Lucy Loretta Callan, daughter of Catherine and the late Thomas Callan of Southport, and one of the best known public school teachers of this city, died at her home in Southport. this morning, after having been un- conscious since Sunday. Miss Callan's death was profound shock to the school teachers of this city and to the pupils of the Bostwick avenue school, where she was teacher in the highest grade there, the seventh, l4fori nine years. Miss Callan's health failed her last spring. She Completed the spring term. but during the summer vacation failed to recuperate sufficiently to warrant her returning to her duties in the fall Lately, however, she was much improved, and confidently ex- pected to return to the school after New Years. She visited the school last week and called on the teachers, expressing her pleasure at her ap- preaching return to her duties, and rejoicing in her almost complete res toration to health.
 Miss Callan was subject to violent headaches. Stricken with one of these attacks Sunday she lapsed into uncon- sciousness, and every effort to rally her failed. She succumbed this fore noon
 Miss callan was educated in the public schools of Southport and New York dty, and prepared for her work as teacher in the New Haven Nor mai school. She taught continuously at the Bostwick avenue, or Longfellow school, for nine years, yielding pow erful influence for good among the hundreds of pupils who during her career as teacher there fell under her direct charge. She was regarded as an. unusually proficient teacher, and held the confidence and respect of her pupils to such a marked degree that many of them took advantage of every opportunity to keep up their ac- quaintance with her.
 Among her associates ln the teach ing corps of the city she was very popular, and news of her death today was the occasion of widespread grief among the teachers. She is survived by her widowed mother, two brothers, Thomas and John, and four sisters, the Misses Mary and Sarah, and Mrs. Joseph Lee, all living in Southport, and Mrs. Richard Parry of New Jersey.

''Isn't that where your money has been going?" asked the prosecutor
 "NO, sir," flared Hill indignantly; "I never spent a cent on her. If you want to rake up these things, I can tell you facts about my wife and prove them too,' he exclaimed indig- nantly.
 ''The court will hear what you have to say concerning your wife" observ- ed Wilder.
 Hill hung his head for moment Then he looked up and said, 'I don't care to say anything on that sub- ject.a
 said Attorney Delaney.

Malley's s end came rather suddenly Although his health had been falling for some time, he was able to be about until a few days ago. MT. Malley was born in Sheboygan, Wis, 54 years ago. He came to Ansonia, where his father, William MalIey conducted dry goods house for, many years. MT. Ma1ley came to Bridgeport, as young man and for many years conducted a pros- porous grocery aud liquor business at Pembroke and Nichols streets.

 Now here," said the speaker, after a reflective pause. "enters my prob lem. Not a single one of these plays has brought a fair profit to the thea tre, and nearly every one of them has son amounts to thousands of dollars, although I have tried, as the list shows, to give the Bridgeport public the very best in kind and variety.
 '.So uniform has been the tale of poor patronage in Bridgeport that |ed ahead have begun to cancel, giv- ing as reason, Tt won't pay to play Bridgeport
 What is the matter? I am in the theatre business to make a profit. My business must show a margin of income over outgo. I cannot continue my ambitious program of giving cially if it should appear that Bridge port does not want the best-but a lighter and less expensive form of amusement. sEs
 'I have made up my mind to try an experiment. 4 I will offer a mixed p1CtuT6 anu FduucVIi1o matinee and two performances in the evening, daily, with four performances on Saturday, at ten cents for each seat, first come first served. The vaudeville will consist of four high class acts. The pictures will be of the best.
 T shall intersperse this sort of tion. say twice month. or oftener. if the public shows by it's patronage that 1t wants more

If it Is entirely for light entertainment, I VIII devote my house entirely to light en- .sIf the demand is for light enter tainment with an occasional high grade production, that is what we will have. We will have the high grade productions as often az the public wants them, the. wants of the pubKc to be measured by it's patronage.

 talk upon the theatrical situation in Bridgeport, said that he would stick until the last gun is fired, and he de- fined this to mean that the lease of the Park Theatre will not be sold to anybody, but will be operated by him until he solves the problem of local demand.
 < One clue to local preferences MT. Shea got from his box office receipts. He played among the high grade at fractions many popular priced shows. which frequently showed larger box office receipts than big, successful productions which had long runs in New York.
 ..On the fingers of one hand,'' said MT. Shea, "can be numbered the att fractions that played to four figures, or, in other words, over $1,000."
 So it's up to Bridgeport for the pres ent to say by it's patronage whether it will have more or less first class pro- ductions. The devotion of the public to .'the best'' in drama will be meas ured by the results in the box office, since no owner of a theatre can be Indefinitely philanthroIfst and a pa tron of drama for it's own sake.
