If Mrs. Warden had lived today she would have found the religion which goes deep the cheerful religion.
 Surely the devout believer should be the happiest mortal on the earth
 All the happiness for which sigh is his All the joys of the hereafter is his
 I am glad to the churches used for the meeting place of young people.
 It is matter for rejoicing when the boys and girls gather about the church-not place in which to be solemn and sad but center from which radiates joy
 It is easy enough to be religious when is sad. The devil when ill., the devil monk would be-the devil when we'll the devil monk he.''
 It is the very. joy of Christianity which makes it valuable asset today.
 real Christian is who is happy in and thing to be signing over?
 true Christian believes in the honesty and goodness of his felowman- and it makes him glad
 No one can be unhappy who believes in God and him. self and his fellowman.
 Mrs. Vardens type of religion has gone out of fash ion and with it the gloom that cng about the odfash toned churches.
 Let us be glad and happy and good. If you glad is to be happy and you happy easy to be good.

FIFTY MOBILE
 SKIRT TROLLEYS
Washington Women Win Fight For Lower Car Steps Than
 in Cleveland

Washington, March 21-The hobble skirt has won a victory in Washing ton. The Washington Railway & Electric Company" has placed with a Philadelphia concern an order for fifty new cars, and in the contract there is a provision that the steps shall be so constructed that a wO- man in a hobble skirt will be able to clumb into them without collecting a crowd.
 This comes as the climax of the fight which the women of Washing ton have been waging for months. They have argued that the high step hitherto in vogue, which is an inch higher than that Of the Boston street car, and not more than foot lower than that in use in Cleveland, has the effect of encouraging curiosity and diminishing privacy
 For a long time, however, the f1inty officials of the railway opposed to these arguments the counter one that before the car steps could be lowered the styles would change. They held that if the construction Of the cars was altered the new ones would not come into use before the Washington women would be wearing crinol1ne or hoop skirts and wouldn't care. The fact that the railway officials have now yielded is counted as the biggest victory since Mrs. Pankhurst went to jail

THE NEW LYRIC

Every succeeding performance of 'The Rosary gains in importance and interest. This afternoon, hundreds were turned away from the Lyric the atre, and last evening, the place was filled to the doors. There seems but one opinion among all who have seen this beautiful play as presented by the Carpenter company, that it is the best of it's repeated good offerings. Both theatre and company are daily in creasing in popularity with the the atre-goers of Bridgeport, and it seems as though everyone in the city was eager to see the performances which are being constantly given in such ex- cellent manner
 This city never before enjoyed the pleasure of stock company in such measure as is being provided by the Carpenter company. We have seen stock organizations many times, but not one which could compare with this. The people of the city are en- thusiastic in their comment regarding the performances, and the Carpenter company has taken hold of the affec- tons of the play goers in a manner which bespeaks the utmost popular ity.
 The current production of'The Ros- ary'' not only provides a play which is above reproach, but it is being pre- sented in the most complete and ar tistic manner. MT. Conness is doing the best work he has yet shown as Father Kelly, and Miss Cleveland could hardly be surpassed in the role of Vera Wilton. MT. Carroll has a strong part, and with Miss Strickland and MT. Devine is receiving the strongest praise from all the patrons. All the other parts are in such excel lent hands that the performance is one of the most artistic imaginable, and all who attend the theatre are pleasantly surprised at the exception al quality of the offering.
 The magnificent stage production given the play by MT. Carpenter is also causing pleased comment. Noth- ing has apparently been neglected to make it as charming as possible, and the result is a rich treat for the eye, not often seen even with a road com pany. In every way the offering is as pleasing as could possibly be desired,

POLES

"Bonita', the statuesque musical comedy star, is scoring a big hit this week with her able assistant, Lew Hearn, famed as one of the cleverest ever, of "rube' comedians. Bonita has lost none of her charm and knows how to sing popular song with a magnetism that makes the audience stand up on the seats The act is full of good fun as well as good mu- sic, and fully deserves the splendid reception always accorded to it.
 The Ten Vassar Girls are 10 punches of musical ginger, and the result is one of the snappiest and most delight full of musical productions. The fact that all the performers are pretty girls by no means detracts from the quality of the performance. The act carries an especially elaborate array of scenic equipment, which forms a fitting setting for the various vocal and instrumental combinations and the numerous and pleasing costume changes.
 Franklyn Ardelrs anti-suffrage speech in '"The Suffragette'', is a knockout. This gem of fun elicits roars of applause at every perform ance, and it sheds some light on the question of woman suffrage from a new angle.
 Mrs. Louis James, the clever and charming wife of one of the finest actors America ever had, was pre- vailed upon to enter vaudeville this year, and her first appearance in this field is meeting with great success and enthusiastic recognition everywhere. In Holding a Husband, the sketch in which Mrs. James appears at Polls this week, she has a chance to display her artistic powers to the best advant- age, as we'll as her charms of manner and person.
 These are some of the features which are making Polls this week such tremendous success from the amusement standpoint and bringing the big crowds to the theatre.
 Other feature acts of the weeks bill include Willie Weston, the singing comedian, with the repertoire of hits; Dale and Boyle, a clever couple, in a catchy bit of vaudeville fun; The Rials, eccentric comedy gymnasts; Polls Electrograph with motion pie ture features, and Polls concert or chestra, with the very best music of the day. Get in line and order ear ly.
 Next week-The newest and great est musical comedy playlet in ,vaude- vile, Mrs Captain Kidd", featuring Miss Aubrey Maple, the most beau tiful comedy star on the American stage.

Their Prayers Are
 Answered In Death
Three Old Ladies Prayed That When One Died All Would
 Die, and so it Was

The Lord took them all together as they had always prayed He would Mrs. Susan McCrarn and Miss Mary and Miss Alice McCrarn, who were sisters and were sisters-in-law of the first named. Miss Alice was 76, Mrs. McCrarn was 7S and Miss Mary was 80, and until final illness overlook all three they lived together at 85 Wales avenue, Jersey City.
 They all fell ill at the same time. It was the grip, and since neighbors said that Searsville, in Orange coun- ty, was a good place for them, they went there. And there Miss Mary died last Saturday, Mrs. McCrarn on Sunday and Miss Alice on Tuesday. Each knew when the other passed away and each believed to the end that they would be called all to- gether.
 Today the funerals of the three old ladies took place at St. Johns Roman Catholic Church in Jersey City the Rev. Father P. w. Smith officiating.

and it is little wonder the people are focking in such numbers to witness it.
 There are still some few seatse re- maining for the rest of the week. but they are being taken so rapidly that big audiences are assured for every performance. Those who have waited to get their seats will find it hard picking when they do make up their minds, and there will be a whole lot of disappointment at the inability to secure seats.
 What Happened to Jones'" which comes next week, has always been a strong favorite with the theatre goers of this city, and they will surely at tend in large numbers all of the com ing week. The comedy of this play is simply excruciating, and in the hands of so clever cast as that pro- vided by the Carpenter company, 1t will surely be given rendition which will make it most pleasing event in the theatrical line.
 The seats are selling we'll for the coming week, making it a surety that the house will be filled to its doors at every performance. There will be the usual matinees, and the regular prices of the Lyric will prevail. Be sure and get your seats in time for this spark ling attraction
