Mr.. Conwell spoke in behalf of the
resolution saying some cases we're
admitted that could be cared for at
home. He thought too much money
was being paid for horses, carriage
repairs, etc.
Mr.. Hofecker, Mr.. Moore, Mr.. John
son and Mr. Wilson thought the reso-
luton premature, inasmuch as the
regular appropriation bills were not
up for consideration. Mr. Conwell's
resolution was killed, 10 ayes and II
nays.
Il has been nearly a month since
the Legislature met here, but general

The stage crew at Polls theatre manifested their good will towards the vaudeville profession in general and those participating in the opening bill of the season in particular last night when, following the perform ance. they transformed the stage in- to a garden scene, and entertained the artists, their wives and families until well into the small hours.
 The following notice greeted the performers as they went to their dressing rooms last night.
 All artists appearing on the bill this week, and their wives, mothers main after the performance this ev- ening as guests of the stage hands at little Rathskeller Afterpiece.

FASHIONS AND PADS.

Skirt hems of velvet are immensely fashionable. Three-piece suits of serge are + great favor. There seems to be no end of blacl velvet ~saShes.
 White serge has jumped into favor with a bound. Skirts show a decided tendency to- ward drapery.
 Green is the ruling favorite fol evening gowns. Satins continue to hold a firm DO sition in fashion. Rows of tiny buttons are used or wraps and gowns.
 The Directoire coat may be fea- ture of fall fashions.
 There is again springing up feeling in favor of borders.
 Each week sees long skirts coming more and more into favor.
 Mission handles are still in excel lent style for umbrellas.
 One-sided disposition of frills anG revers is a dominant note.
 Strong colors are boldly used in the new fall fashions from Paris.
 Pearl buttons are used to grea1 extent in all linen suits and dresses.
 White and black is so Tar much the most important millinery combination
 The kimono sleeve is seen on man! of the evening wraps and auto coats
 Black patent leather belts are worr with foulard and all dark silk dresses
 Manufacturers are already predict ing that next springs colors will be blue.
 Three-piece suits seem to have the strongest position of all in falll fash ion.
 There is an enormous popularity and revival of net in the world of dress
 Embroidered filet is the trimming par excellence for voiles and marqui- setteS
 Pearl beads, combined with rhine stones, are to be much in favor for trimming. - Beaded robes and tunics are com- ing over in great numbers from French and German designers
 Dark blue over gray gives a restful color combination. It is worn by Par isians with gray hair.
 Sheer linen and cotton voile gowns are trimmed with silk as a reversal

Local Aerie of
 Eagles Now Has
 $38,775 Surplus
Substantial Cash Basis and no Liabilities Make the Order
 a Firm One

Great interest has been aroused among the members of Bridgeport Aerie, Fraternal Order of Eagles, in the semi-annuaI report of Secretary Daniel J. O'Connor, which shows that on June 1 the organization had assets of s3S, 775.56 with no liabilities This is the fund from which the aerie draws the weekly benefit of $7 to sick members and to pay the death claim a physician not only to the members but their families as well. It has given the contestants for the life membership card, valued at S100, something substantial to talk about in getting new members for the class initiation to be held on Sunday, Nov. A, when the total membership is ex- pected to exceed 1000. There are 1,5O0 members in good standing now, and there is little doubt but that 800 can didates will be initiated.
 The work will be put on by the de- gree team, with special work, and the new uniforms will be worn for the first time in Bridgeport. All of tbe State officers and some of the national officers will be present. An elabor- ate entertainment and feast will fol- low the initiatory exercises. Presi- dent William H. Callan is chairman of the committee in charge of the event, and he has appointed a com mittee of 15 for each of the twelve voting districts. Assisting him on the general committee is Vice President Thomas w. Reddy, Secretaries Daniel J. OConnor and. Thomas M McNa- mara, Joseph Barry, Thomas Fender, William Rogers, George P. Jamieson, John J. Doyle, James Welch and Dr. D. H. Monahan.
 Next Sunday the aerie will entertain a delegation of 1,500 members of New ark aerie, who are coming to this city on a chartered steamer. The visit ors will arrive at 3 o'clock and will spend three hours at the hall

177 STATE STREET

The length of the new sleeve has not been settled. The great Paris de- signers show long Sleeves, short sleeves bell sleeves, tight sleeves and puff sleeves with about equal favor. Large, hats have returned to their own again; the small round hats are not sufficiently becoming to the ma- jority of laces and in the late summer every one wants as much shade as possible.
 The skirts of the new tfree-piecs costumes are usually made with one of the long tunic effects, with either a real or simulated underskirt of another material or of the same material in contrasting color.
 One of the news friIls which is de- tachable and goes down the front of the blouse has battlements of embroi- dery at the inner edge. There Is a buttonhole in each one which is put over button on the blouse. The frill is double with the upper one shorter than the lower one.
 When cleaning house use plenty of turpentine in the scrub water. It is certain death to moths.
 In cutting garments it is sometimes better to fasten the pattern in place by weights instead of pins.

Scene From "The Confession''
 at Park Theatre Tonight

of the silk and linen idea.
 The little frock of silk, satin, taf- feta or charmeuSe has enjoyed wonder ful popularity this season.
 Cuffs of linen appear not only on suits, but they are seen on blouses and one-piece frocks.
 It is expected that the lingerie gown will continue to be worn through the winter for indoor affairs
 Silk and wool poplins, oramented with self-colored borders, will appear in many of the fall costumes.
 Fringe has invaded the outer gar ment field, and is seen on some of the handsomest of the new wraps. Many of the new French skirts show the exaggerated high waist line and elaborate shoulder drapery.
 A novelty fall yelling has a small mesh in diamond design with large squares emphasized by chenille dots.
 The deep collar, either square or pointed, is still worn. It in many cases reaches to the waist line at the back.
 Fichus of net or tulle are edged with bands of colored tulle to match the shade of the frocks which the fichus trim.
 One of the new notes in late sum- mer millinery is the flat lace trimming on the large-brimmed hats of tagal or chip.
 The same linen that is used for mems shirts is now the thing for col lars and cuffs on silk and satin coat suits.
 The fashionable fichu, with tis CO., qUettish frills, receives unanimous ap- proval for late summer and early fall costumes.
 There is some danger that the mar row French heel will supplant the safsr and more sensible Cuban heel fH fash iOnable footwear
 Pierrot shapes with the high point ed crowns and small or medium sized curled up brims are among the favored shapes in white felt
 Many medium and large millinery shapes show a tendency to follow bon net lines, as ther brims droop at the sides in poke fashion.
 New separate skirts are shown in velvets, corduroys, broadcloths, satins and fine voiles. A few show fringe trimming and long tunic effects.
 Two millinery styles that are be- ing strongly featured for early fall are the soft white and light-colored felts
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-09-05

and the colored and black velours. | A decided taste is expressed for l black and white, or rather, for white and black combinations, in fall cos l tunes. This is especially true of robes.
 Velvet is largely used for the new 1 three-piece suits, the waist being of chiffon of the same shade and trimm- ed with velvet to carry out the cos
 tune idea.
 There is a tendency to make coats of three-piece suits somewhat longer
 than in the plain tailor -mades, and a ! number of 36 and 42 inch coats are seen.
 The full-length garment, cut .o give the long slender lines, is still the favorite among wraps. Many of these new garments are made in velvet in plain and fnacy effects.
 One of the uses to which satins will be put during the early fall will be for making of foundations to be worn in connection with sheer, semi sheer and silken materials.
 There is a definite return of the vogue for bordered materials in dress making, and some delightful effects may be obtained from the beautiful things just coming into the shops.

HaIieck RefQS successful pltLy, iIe Confession Those who witness the play will find scenes that are likely to be remembered for many days.
 THURSTON THE GREAT
 Thurston, the worlds greatest ma gician, is the Inventor of more mys- tifying illusions than any exponent of magic of the past. He does not rely on one feature to carry his program to success, but presents wonder after wonder, illusion after illusion, more than doubling and even tripling the efforts of many famous celebrities who have entertained the public in magic heretofore.
 His program this season when he will appear at the Park Theatre, Fri day and Saturday, comprises many new and original mysteries in the mystic art, affording rare evening enjoyment, and his coming engage ment at Bridgeport will prove one of the theatrical treats of the season, at tracting by his marvellous mysteries thousands who rarely attend the thea tre. A special matinee will be given on Saturday for the children with whom Thurston is a great favorite.
 .aTHE TOP O TB WORLD"
 ''The Top O tn World, which will be the attraction at the Park Theatre, Thursday night, brings back to US Bailey and Austin after their recent triunphs in the vaudeville houses of Europe. The eccentric and grOteSque work of these two famous comedians has long ago caused the hearty stamp of theatrical approval to be theirs. With supporting company of sev- enty people, a score of new tricks and novelties, ''The Top O. tn World' is this season more than duplicating it's former sAcesses-c capacity business has been the rule in every city visited since the season opened. ''The Top G tn World' has always been a Init" spelled with a big ''H.''
 It is so far and away different from the average travelling attraction that it really occupies a niche all it's own. It is today a rarer combination Of musical comedy, extravaganza, pan tomime, farce and spectacle than any thing which has been produced in a score of years. It is brimful of clever things and clever people. It is a magnificent scenic production. It is a magnificent electrical production. And it is a great comedy production. Its basic principle, its fundamental idea, is comedy. It is everything and anything, in fact. but a prescription for feeling too we'll. If it was taken
 The management of ''The Top O. tn World'' has shown the wisdom in re- taining almost the entire original com- pany intact for the road tour. It is one of the few really large organiza- tions now en tour, seventy people and three special baggage cars of scenery and effects being carried.
