COSTLY PRIZES FOR BEST
 AUTOS IN MlARDI GRAS.

From all parts of the state come assurances of a record breaking pa rade of decorated automobile at the Savin Rock Mardi Gras next Wednes- day evening.
 The handsome prizes offered for the best decorated machines (and there are five) have spurred motor ists on all sides to put forth their very best efforts and it is a safe pre- diction that when at 8 o'clock the parade, headed by the Second Regi- ment band moves along Beach street, one of the biggest events of the kind ever attempted in this section will be the order of the day, or night, as you please.
 It is essential however, that all who contemplate taking part in this big event. communicate immediately with the Savin Rock Business Mems As sociation in order that every machine may be placed in it's proper division and particulars, as to formation, etc, be forwarded to each entrant.
 The decision of the association to ask no entrance fee this year is 6 popular one, and automobilists gener- ally appreciate the liberality of the management in letting the bars down. and making the parade a free for-all.
 The committee in charge announce that they have arranged with the New Haven Decorating Company to decorate the cars of those who do not desire to do the work themselves. at a very moderate figure which will be quoted on application to the com- mittee or, the above named company.

BURLESQUE SHOW
 OPENS AT PARK

Gus Fay and his Big Gaiety Girls Co., threw a large audience at the Park theatre last night into fits of laughter that ratt1ed the funny bones of every one present Gus appeared In his usual good form, spent a whole lot of new humor on his listeners, flashed his characteristic wit in reck- less fashion and had the crowd with him all the time. Clara Douglass Racket, who had the other lead. made a fair impression on her audience. She is a bit too stout for the part and lacked the ginger that should go into the part supporting Fay Billy Armstrong did fully as we'll as Fay himself, but his part was less diff cult to handle.
 There isn't much to the plot of the burlesque which is entitled "One Night in Paris,'' but the lyrics and music are good, up-to-date and catchy; the costumes are fine and the chorus and support we'll selected There were surprisingly few begin ners" for a play just starting out, and they did we'll

 State For Fairfield Accident.

Sylvanus D. Locke, who ran his au- tomobile into a team owned by Miles Moon in Fairfield and was later fined $75 and costs in the Fairfield court, had his licenseNsuspended by. Deputy Secretary of State Richard J. Dwyer yesterday. The hearing took place on Thursday. MT. Dwyer's opinion fol- lows .< t rss-..s ,- -,se,@,N--, t ---sy-,.
 In the case of Sylvanus D.. Locke of Bridgeport, sunm oned to this of flee on August 22 to answer to the Acharge of reckless driving and failure to have his side and rear lights burn

POLI'S THEATRE

A story of ancient Egypt will be the Poii Players offering next week. Around the name ''Thais' clusters much that is myth-aN that is roman tic. In opera and in drama the story of this woman, who held the youth of Alexandria in thrall, has been told and retold. The dramatic version, prepared by Paul Wilstach, had as it's chief interpreters Tyrone Power and Constance Collier. Particularly inn pressive is the scene in the mountains to which the anchorite has repaired, after his remuneration of the frivolous world All the splendor of the noun tain scene will be reproduced in the Poli offering next week. But anoth- CT version is to be employed as more suitable for stock presentation than the WilStach, it is said. The Poll version will be from tine pen of Ma re Doran, an accomplished writer, who has preserved the traditions con cerning the fair courtesan and omit ted much that might be offensive. To Marguerite Starr will fall the title role and that of Paphus will be play ed by Wilson Hummell. Wilson Melrose will be Nicias, one of the no bles of Egypt, who revels in opulence of the kind that Rome affected in the days of her greatest glory, But ona should not get the impression that ''IIlais'' is all sensuous, that the ma- 
 spiritual and that no lesson is con- veyed by this story of the gay life in Alexandria nearly 1000 years ago. How character changes, how self-ab- negation follows self-indulgence, how sacrifice succeeds sensuality, when the teachings of the Nazerene are brought home with convincing force by a man in whom ''Thais'' is finally brought to believe is true, are elements in a play which, for dramatic values, has few superiors.
 "A Gentleman of Leisure is the cur rent weeks offering and is proving of rare attractiveness and being acted on a scale which approaches the best work the Poli Players have done this season. Large audiences are assured for the remaining performances.
 Beginning next week the regular winter season scale of prices will be in vogue. On Monday matinee even ing prices will prevail, as usual on holidays. Next Tuesday night the last of the $500 Stultz Bros. Pianos will be given away. Get your cou- pons all this week.

'PARALLEL OF CONSISTENCY,

1T
 Printed under the heading, aParalle1 of Consistency" in black face type and in conspicuous place on the front page of the Morning Telegram. are two news items taken from the columns of The Farmer. which our. esteemed contemporary would infer as being inconsistent. The 5rnisrepresen- tation- is very characteristics of the paper. The inconsistency however. lies in the Judgment of the morning paper whose editor fails to recognize the fact that the item quoted from. The Farmer of Aug. 29 is one which. states the opinion of some of those who are implicated in the mess and also in quotations the opinion Of one of those arrested. and NOT the opin-' ions of a Farmer reporter or The Far-. mer.
 The item Of Aug 26 was one in which the observations of The Farmer reporter were printed. The item of Aug. 29 was one in which the ohser- vatfons, the opinions of people con cerned, are made. The Telegram would make The Farmer assume to say the things that are said by some one else.

Rome, Aug 30-Monsignor Kennedy, rector of the college here, and re- gently created Bishop, was deluged with inquiries today concerning re- ports that he is the new American Cardinal whom it is now tolerably we'll authenticated the Pope has nam ed. There were also some messages of reorganization from persons who feel sure that Mgr Kennedy was His Holiness choice.
 If another American Cardinal has been created, the United States now has five, including Cardinal Falconio Who4Was naturaHzed there. The oth- CTS are Cardinals Gibbons, Farley and OConneu.

and marble-inlaid walls and floors
does not exceed, if it even equals, that
of these ancient baths, which were
further beautified by marble and
bronze stauary, columns, vases, and
every ornament that the art Of the
time could devise. Silver pipes con-
veyed the hot water into the great
marble basins.
By the close of the third century
A. D., there were eleven Of these i'm
mense public thermae and nine hun
dred and twenty-six smaller ones,
which were business enterprises, so
small fee was charged for their use.
In addition to this, most private
houses had their own private baths,
and those of the wealthy surpassed
even the public ones in luxurious ap-
pointments.
Authorities differ as to whether the
great baths were absolutely free or
not: but none mention more than a
nominal charge, small copper coin
of about farthings worth, as giving
to the poorest plebian in Rome the
same freedom of their privileges en-
joyed by the wealthiest patrician.
IThey were conducted like vast clubs,

In the days of Romes greatest
wealth and power, every succeeding
emperor tried to eclipse the glory of
his predecessor and win the plaudits
of the Roman mob, by the magnifi-
cence of the baths he erected. Thus,
the baths of Titus, where that trea-
sure of the Vatican, the LAGOON, was
discovered, were far exceeded in
sumptuous appointments and in eX-
tent by those of Caracalla. The whole
enclosure of these was a mile in cir
cumference, on the Avertine mount,
and included a vast congerles of ev-
erything for the pleasure and health
Of man; gardens, gymnasiums, thea
tres, temples, lecture halls for the in
struction Of youth, and free Libraries.
In the thermae, sixteen hundred per-
sons could battle at the same time;
some authorities assert that the great
swimming bath could accommodate
three thousand But the baths of Dio-
cletian marked the apex Of sumptuous
luxury, and exceeded all others in
their vast extent, there being accom-
mediation for three thousand six hum
dred bathers at once. The utmost ex-
preston Of modern splendor in mosaic

with an immense retinue Of slaves
and servants; and thousands of the
Roman youth frittered away their
days in these magnificent halls, where
every amusement and pastime could
be enjoyed. That in time their lux
ury, enticement and effeminacy de-
moralized and degraded the people
and hastened the decline of the En-
pire, there is not a question. 1t Is
the invariable result Of all excess.
In the early days Of the public
baths, when bodily health and clean
illness was their sole purpose, it was
one of the duties of aediles Of Rome
to inspect them and see that they
were kept clean and at proper tenn
perature; and in those days their hy-
gienic influence upon the welfare of
the people was justly appreciated
Wherever the arms Of Rome were car
ried there baths were constructed for
the sanitary benefit Of the soldiers
Remains of these baths can be seen
in the Hotel de Cluny, Paris; and In
many towns in England. The first
ones in the town Of Bath were built
by the Romans.
The splendor of Diocletion's baths
was enjoyed for only brief century
for they were begun in A. D. 3O2, and
are supposed to have fallen into ruin
after the Gothic invasion Of 4OS.
From the decline Of the Roman EN-
pire till the invention Of printing, moi
only was the use Of the bath as a re-
medal agent in disease lost sight Of
but the very habit and necessity o.
bathing, except in a few isolated
places, or during brief periods of loca
revivals, seems to have disappeared
from among the customs Of men II
the Occidental nations. 'Tis scan
wonder the period was called thu
Dark Ages.
