TRIP VAN TWINKLE"
 PLEASES PATRONS.
 OF LYRIC THEATRE
Fine Old Play Is Given Capital Presentation by Miss
 Cleveland's Artists

An enthusiastic. reception was ac- corded the Eleanor Cleveland, Stock Co., production of "Rip Van Win kle'' at the Lyric Theatre, last! even ing. The. play, made a perennial fla vorite through the art of the late Joe sentation, with a wealth of adequate. scenic accessories and with the char acters assumed by players especially qualified for their tasks.
 A factor of vital interest in the pre- sentation Of Rip Van Wfnkle'' is the small part in creating the atmosphere of fairy tales that envelops the Cat, sIxills.
 Every theatre-goer knows the story of Rip Van Winkle- So does every reader, of American literature. The loses none of it's enthralling interest in it's reproduction through the agency of the Lyric players.
 Edward -Nannery is given an oppor- tunity for splendid character portrayal in the role of Rip. The transition dered old man coming down from his sleep in the mountain after a. lapse Of two decades, calls for more than ordinary skill in the player, and MT. Nannery demonstra ted his fitness for the part in the smallest detail.

 Miss Cleveland as Meenie played a role which does not put her forth as prominently as many she has filled, but her artistic impersonation made the pleasing whole. Miss Lewis as Gretchen was another important mem Der of the cast, while the subordinate parts were capably handled.

BOARDED RICHES
 OF TOWN CHARGE
 BROUGHT TO LIGHT
Woman Got Aid Representing Herself as PennilesS-Has
 Small Fortune

Representing herself as aged and indigent to the officials of the De- partment of Charities, who last July, were induced to commit her as a pub lie charge to St. Vincent's Hospital for treatment as a hopeless paralytfc, a. woman has been found through in vestigation of the Board to be not only in affluence but possessed or one bank book alone with deposits to the sum of $1,400.
 While for evident reasons the name of the hospital inmate is within cid, it may be stated that living in a seculd- ed cottage, which might almost be called a hovel, the woman had for years lived alone and not even her neighbors had suspected that hoard l. ed away were hundreds of dollars. She had consistently lived upon char ity and when stricken with the ail- nent for which she is now being treated, she made application to be admitted to a local hospital town charge Search at the time failed to reveal any tangible property or as- sets and she was sent to St. Vincent's.
 It was only within the last few days, that her wealth was establish ed and a search revealed that even in the hospital she was possessed of se- curities to the extent of $1,400. It is believed that an estate of much more value may yet be disclosed.
 In commenting upon the circum- stance today Supt. Johnson of the Charities Department said: This is one of those cases which often occur, where not only public but privat te charity is imposed upon, and while the strictest watch is kept to guard

THE ROLE DUST PLAYS.

It Gives Us Clouds, Rain, Snow, Sunset
 Effects and Blue Skies.
 While much evil has been attributed to dust, very little attention has been given to it's benefits. Without dust there would be no blue sky nor any diffused light. Mans only light of day would be that directly radiated by the sun.
 Light is produced by the vibrations of ether in the form of waves of vari- able extent, and these short or long waves are differently reflected. accord ing to the dimensions of the grains of dust that they meet as they descend to earth. The fine dust reflects only the shortest waves. the blue. Dust of medium thickness reflects the yellow and the green waves, while the coars- est dust reflects nothing but the red.
 We owe the blue of the sky to the fine dust in the atmospheric heights. where the air is purest. When the wind sets the dust in motion the blue turns to gray. The smoke of a cigar is blue as it Issues from the cigar, while the smoke issuing from the mouth of the smoker Is whitish gray because the particles of the gray smoke have increased in volume by fixing water vapor. The blue smoke of a burning cigar is like the blue sky, and -as the water vapor is fixed by the smoke close to the mouth of the smoker so the vapor risen from the seas is condensed on the particles of atmospheric dust.
 Without dust earth could have no rain. Not a drop of all the water A<,1 . come to earth on anything but the bearer of it's condensations, the dust. Were it not for atmospheric dust there would be no clouds. no fog, no rain, no snow. no splendid sunsets. no azure skies. The surface of the ground, the trees, the houses, men and animals would be the objects on which water vapor would condense. The clothing of man and the fur of the animal would drip with water. = Harper's Weekly

l ATTRACTIONS l H# Al ! 1.-THE THEATRES l
"THE WOLF" MAKES
 AUDIENCES CHEER
Housing Production by Poli Players Gives A. H. Van Buren, Mark Kent and Ethel Clifton Chance to Shine

A breath from the frozen north is waited across the footlights at Poli's this week "The Wolf'' is being pre- sented by the Poli Players. and the production is staged so realistically that you can almost hear the bowling wintry winds and the crunch of foot steps in the snow.-
 Eugene Walter, who wrote t4Paid in winners, is; the author of ''The Wolf" Like his other pieces, "The Wolff has what actors call the punch. It tells a story in short, direct style and there is action every minute.
 Andrew McTavish a hard-headed Scotchman, lives in the Canadian Northwest wilderness with his daugh- ter Hilda. He has gone to this lonely country because Of his tragic married life. which ended in his wife running. away with another man. McTavfsh suspects that his daughter inherits her mothers character and he browbeats the girl unmercifu1ly.
 Into this lonely country comes an American surveyor Mcdonald, who is becomes infatuated with the girl and falsely promises to take her away and marry her. He wins over the girls father by promising to make the old man rich when the new railroad line is built and land values jump.
 Jules Beaubien, a native of the wilds, is honestly in love with the girl, however, and he determines to thwart McDonald's scheme. How Jules and his man BaptiSte defeat the plans or the surveyor makes a. rousing climax for the second act. Last nights audi ence went wild over the big scene
 As Jules Beaubien, the leading man, A H. Van Buren, was a great success. He gave a manly portrayal of the big, good natured Canadian who could fight like a demon when aroused.
 Mark Kent made another hit in the part of Andrew McTavish. The role of the old Scotchman who 1ll-treats his daughter is unsympathetic one at best, but Kent plays it with his usual skill and the result is a triumph.
 Stuart Fox is so popular that he gets a reception each performance upon his first appearance. He did well in the part of George Hunt1ey, the young surveyors assistant, who is always jolIying MeTavieh.
 Miss Ethel Clifton, the well liked leading woman, made herself solid with local theatregoers by her work in the role Of Eilda. She was demure and tender in the early scenes, but arose nobIy to the occasion when emo tional acting was demanded
 Guy Harrington was excellent as the scheming McDonald. The part could have been spoiled by overacting, but Harrington did not make any such mistake. Harry Andrews scored for his fine work as Baptiste, the faithful guide.
 The scenic equipment added great deal to the enjoyment of the play.

TWO BURGLARIES
 REPORTED TO POLICE
Black Rock Pharmacy and Home of Mrs. ZeigenfusS Entered
 and Robbed

The epidemic of small robberies continues unabated, due in a great measure it is believed by the police to temporary destitution of 1loaters who pass through Bridgeport on their way to other cities.
 The residence of Mrs. Oti1la Ziegen- fuss, 931 Connecticut avenue was en- tered yesterday afternoon during her absence and a watch, ladies neck chain and Iocket marked '4Tillie," one imitation turquoise ring, revolver and a number of silver toilet articles valed at between $50 and $10O were taken from the premises. Admission was gained by a key
 The Black Rock Pharmacy was en- tered last night by a rear door which was forced The cash register was opened, telephone and slot machine banks pried open and a quantity of change secured, a number of boxes of cigars were taken, and articles gen orally thrown about the store. It is believed to have been the work of a neigh hboring band of youths who have previously annoyed the owner The amount taken from the telephone pay station was less than S5.

CARE FOR SICK ON TRAINS.
German Roads Have Special Cars For
 Transportinq lnvaIids.

German Roads Have Special Cars For
 Transporting lnvalids.
 Excellent facilities are afforded in Germany for transporting invalids and cripples who are unable to walk, ac- cording to our consul at Brunswick. The German railroad system provides a first class car for invalids who can afford to use it. This car is fitted with every possible convenience for the sick. A special apartment. opening on the level of the station platform, with double door, so that a stretcher can be carried in without the slightest diff culty. is set apart for the invalid and attendants The balance of the car contains q kitchen, where meals can be prepared. and a section handsomely upholstered for members of the family or accompanying friends. For invalids who travel second or third class an apartment on an ordinary car is used. opening in like manner with a double door on the station platform
 The charges for transporting sick and helpless persons have hitherto been moderate. For invalids travelling third class the charge has been the cost of four tickets, free transport being grant ed for two attendants. This rate is still granted when the car containing the invalid apartment belongs to a regular train with a fixed destination; other wise in the future six tickets second class must be purchased. In addition to the cost of these tickets there will be an additional charge of pfennigs O34 centsI per axle and kilometer O62 mile) for the time the car runs empty before and after the transport of the invalid to the point of destination.
 For example, if the invalid is trans ported from Berlin to Hamburg. 29O kilometers t1SO miles), when the car containing the invalid apartment forms part of the regular train the charge will be 35.6 marks ($S.4O: if the same car is specially ordered the chage will be 16464 marks 3919.-United States Consular Reports.
