Fifty Miles from Boston, will be the, offering at Polls all this week twice daily and in addition to the very capable members of the players the cast will feature several who were in the original Conan pro- duction notably Airline Bennett a musical comedy favorite swho suc- ceeded Edna Wallace Hopper in the role of Nellie Harrigan. The produc- tion will also serve tO introduce to the local playgoing public two new and valuable members of the Poll players being Thomas Reynolds and Emma Salvatore both of them fresh from triumphs with the leading stock company of Des Moines. Of course the typical Conan chorus will be in the dancing ensembles and the very fact that MT. Conan himself selected the chorus and rehearsed them is a guarantee of their ability to make good. John Ince will be seen in the leading role that of Joe Westcott a Harvard baseball player, John Junior as the young brother of the village rostmistreSs w-o enibeZzI.' money n bet on the baseball game, Joseph Egg genton as Dave Harrigan the town dude an. erstwkile villain Of the play aud Tom RsJltlds l, tbe great role of Harrigan.

Mystic Shriners
 Pouring Into
 Rochester Today
Especial from United Press.)


 Rochester. July 10-Th1s city is &glow with all the colors of the rain bow. today, in honor of the national conclave of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. For "A hours long trains, made up Of special Pullmars, have been pouring their thousands into the city and when the assemblage is cal1- ed to order, tomorrow, it is expected that 50.000 delegates and their friends will be on hand.
 The decorations are superb. Giant canopies of vari-colored electric lights have been placed atG all of the street intersections and the principal build ings are almost hidden from view by miles of bunting and streamers. Ball timeroe was the first city in the field for next years gathering. Boum1 Temple of the Monument City and Khedive Temple of Norfolk rolled in- today, on a special train and within a short time the advantages of the city on the Patapsco as a convention re- sort were being chanted wherever Shriners gathered.
 San Francisco promises to be a formidable candidate for the honor of the next convention. The Califor- mia delegation will reach here, late this afternoon and they are determin- ed to grab the prize for the metropolis of the Golden Gate. Cleveland and Atlantic City are also suggested but it is believed the fight will be be- tween San Francisco and Baltimore.
 The weather, today, was extremely torrid but the delegates are warm members and refused to worry about the heat The usual contests for pre- ference started a trifle ahead of time and booms for the candidates for the lower chairs are numerous.

duction will also mark the return of Frank Kirke to the cast and he will ably fill an important role. The story and there is a real plot to the play, has to do with the wooing of Sadie WOodis by two admirers, the support of her brother being demanded by one because he knows the brother is a thief, the disclosure of the theft just at the time when the post office burns and saves the disgrace and the final fighting of all matters particularly the love affairs during the play all duction will be introduced including Small Town GaP', "Harrigan", Waltz With Me-, "Ain't 1t Awful.

OYSTER TRUST
 TO PLANT VAST QUANTITY SHELLS

Stratford, July 1O-The Sealshfpt Oyster Company which absorbed the Stratford Oyster Company, will plant season. During the past week g. car go of 26,000 bushels were unloaded from the three-masted schooner Edna Goodman and distributed on the beds off Bridgeport More than half a miflion bushels will be required for the beds in this vicinity. The company is using no crushed stone this season and the practice will probably be abandoned unless the supply of shells gives out. ; Most of the shells being distributed on the beds here come from Baltimore. Considerable brush will be planted this season, although the practice is not generally considered as economical. Many growers distribute brush as a sort of fence about their grounds, hoping to intercept the set as it floats about in the water. AL though it is probable that some of the floating embryo adhere to the twigs of the brush, the result hardly justi- fies the expense. The newly born oyster rises to the surface and remains there until it natures, when it sinks to the bottom and attaches itself to the first clean substance it comes in
 
 Although remarkable progress has been made in the study of the growth Of the oyster, the business is yet in it's infancy and the best informed growers acknowledge that they know very little about the laws which gov ern the growth of this bivalve. They are at loss to explain why on adja- cent territory one patch will reproduce at a proddg1ous rate, while others pro- duce nothing. With equal care and attention and with the same favor able conditions it would seem that like results would be obtained Every theory has, however, been upset by the practical results. The planting of a million bushels of shells to which the oyster set in invited to attach it. self is no small enterprise. The shells cost at least five cents a bushel be- fore they are shipped. Add to this the freight and the cost of distrdbu- tion and the expense column rises fast The element of chance which enters into the proposition makes the profits of the scheme problematical.

MISS JEWEL AT THE LYRIC.

Commencing at . the usual daily matinee today at the Lyric Garden theatre, the widely discussed and strongly heralded, Miss Jewel, will make her initial bow as the spe cial feature of a program that is full of redeemipg features in the form of splendid vaudeville artists, and a special series of photo playlets, Mon days feature picture being Ten Nights in Bar Room" tomorrow's special picture being. The Corona Jewels performance, it is of a mystic order, and from all reports, will create big sensation during her en- gagement in Bridgeport, and it is all so claimed by the management, that nothing of a similar, or of so start ling a nature has ever been seen here. Tn explaining the wonders of this 1ady's performance, there is pos sible resource to several broad asser- tions, such as, the claim being made that she does not only foresee but foreteIls national and international events of importance, a day prior to their actual occurrence. Again, she courts the propounding of questions vate or a public nature, and her alacrity and accuracy in answering makes her performance all the more remarkable. There are, of course, numerous skeptics, scientific experts, etc, who are in somewhat of a doubt as to Miss Jewels mental powers, and to those, an especial challenge is issued. Mondays opening will tell the story of this wonderful artist's s experimen and town talk will be the result.

 Then he went home and started to rough house the place. Patrolman Henkel came in to quell the disturb ance and for 15. minutes the two bat tied up and down stairs. At length the bridge worker was subdued, but enough he showed no marks from his struggle.
 Bygden was charged with drunk enness, breach of the peace, assault upon Grossarth and resisting an of- ficer. He laid his predicament to his intoxicated condition.
 Grossarth retired early yesterday not realizing the extent of his in jury. His arm steadily grew worse, however, and during the day he called physicians who discovered by the use of the X-ray that his arm was broken.
