WHAT THE PAPERS SAY
 ABOUT POLPS THIS WEEK
Farmer, Jan. 30.)

Cook and Lorenz Are in Their Merriest Mood at Polls This Week. '' Those roIIicking spirits. Cook and I.orenz, are making them all laugh at Polls this week. They have the greatest line of comedy peddled in this vicinity in recent years. Cook and Lorenz sing duets in fearful and won derful voices and they also have some eccentric dancing that is scream Their tmpersoEation of the wonder full xiolinist, Prof. Shovelcoalinski', and his pupil was the signal for mer- riment. The one who impersonated the professor looked like Pawnee Bill, as his partner said. Cook and LOT eng have appeared in various high grade shows but they never had any funnier vehicle than that in which they appeared last night The audi ence last night went wild over the Three White Keuhns. The Right Girl, a sketch presented by AIcCon- nell and Simpson, is a riot from start to finish. The Willard Family brought down the house with their musical act''

Supervisor Parker
 Upheld By Bedding
 School Committee Dismissal of Principal Hodgdon Is Approved Secret Meeting of Commit tee to Consider Supervi- sor's Written Report and Verbal Statement.

Bedding, Jan. 31.-The trouble in the Georgetown public school was review ed by the town school committee of Bedding at a special meeting held last Friday, the committee having be- fore it as a basis for consideration a report by Supervisor w. E. Parker in which the whole case was gone over in detail. Because of the suits threatened by MT. Hodgdon, the dis Ferris, the committee by whom he was hired and fired, it was agreed that the contents of the document sub- mitted by MT. Parker should not be made public at the present time. MT. Parker was present at the conference and what he had written, supplement- ed by his verbal statements and ex- plantations, convinced the committee that MT. Ferris was justified in the action he had taken. The former prin- cipal, it was decided, had shown in- competence to a degree which called for his dismissal and the committee accordingy y passed a resolution which course pursued by the district com mittee and the supervisor.
 In accordance with their pledge of secrecy the town school committee de- cline to say what are the deficiencies alleged against MT Hodgdon as a hearing, among other facts, that his teachers certificate was revoked by MT. Ferris and not by MT. Parker, as has been stated, and also that it was the committee and not the supervisor who engaged Mrs. BrownIow to serve staff. In fact MT. Parker did not know of the engagement until after it was made. Bedding has now 80 pupils in attendance at the school.

THE NEW LYRIC

Miss Eleanor Cleveland. the cieyes star of the Frank Carpenter Stock | company which is now playing at tn.
 new Lyric, is one of the most agree. able of stage women. A decided ia vOrite with the members Of her com pany, she has ingratiated herself into | the affections of the local pIaygoers tc such an extent that her every appear ance is greeted with applause. IF
 each succeeding role she assumes she
 gains new favor, and success Is fast
 taking on the aspect of a daily ova=
 ton.
 Her support, also, has won. warm
 place in the affections of the local
 theatre public, and each member oJ the company has his or her own par
 ticular adherents. It is a delight co hear the welcome which is rendered
 the several members of the cast each afternoon or evening. As each ens enters, the house fairly rings with the hand-cIapping, so hearty and decided that 1t enthuSes the actors to their best efforts. Mir Conness, AIr. Car roll, MT. Clemens, Miss Strfekland-in fact, every member Of the cast from the star to the smallest Juvenile, shares in the ovation, and it all dem onstrates conclusively how strong is the hold upon the public which this company has already achieved
 Pierre Of the Plains which is the bill for this week, is adding immense ly to the prestige of the company, and every one who has seen the play 1Inites in saying that fl Is one of the strongest efforts ever seen in the city, given by a stock company. The play bids fair to exceed in popularity any thing the com pany has yet given, and the rest of the week will surely see a succession Of crowded houses. There are to be the usual matinees tomorrow and SatuF- day, and the slogan is Get your seats early.''
 Next week. with Tnatinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, the bill will be William H. Cranes successful com edy, Father and the Boys-' This was one Of MT. Cranes greatest successes and as the entire original stage pro duction has been secured by Manager Isham, a sterling presentation, really a Broadway production at Lyric prices will be given. The play is one which will give every member Of the cast a chance to demonstrate ability, and as the play abounds in comedy of the most unctious sort. a merry time is as sured all who attend. Father and the Boys will surely be one Of the prin- cipaI offerings of an exceptionally delightful season. and the Frank Car penter Stock company is certain to gain added laureIs in it's presentation

PICKANINNY WITH CLEANING TEETH SENT TO REFORMATORY

Looking like a chunk of ebony studded with gleaming ivory, little John Thompson, aged 13, smiled his cheerful way through city court this morning while the judge and officials were deciding to send him to the state reform school.
 His mother, Mrs. Georgianna Thompson, a widow, residing at 37 do nothing with her son. Neither could the teachers at High street school, where Thompson was sup posed to go but seldom did. Thomp- son looked like a typical pickaninny. His sentence to reform school failed to wipe that golden smileoff his face and he cheerfully prepared for his Journey to Meriden.

 WILL NOW ABDICATE
Especial from United Press.)

Pekin, Jan. s1-Although no official edict was issued, it was generally be- lieved here, this evening, that the royal family had agreed to abdicate- The decision was said to have been reached, today, after another stormy conference at the palace.
 The terms of the revo1utionists pro- vided that annual pensions of S2, 2,000,- 900 would be given the members of the imperial clan. The Manchu princes were promised protection by the Re pubIicans and it was agreed that they might live in Pekin or any other city they might select.
 This was an additional concession to the terms of a few weeks ago, when the Republicans demanded that the members of the royal family retire to Jehol, the summer palace, 115 miles northwest of Pekin.

Best Bill of the Season Now Play ing at Polls Theatre The vaude- vile bill at Polls Theatre this week is one of the best that has been of fered the local theatregoers this sea- son, every number proving 8 winner last evening. There was a variety of good things for the audience, who did not fail to show it's appreciation.
 ''An act that went big was Cook and Lorenz, the two mfllionaires. The line of talk kept the audience in roars of laughter and the antics Of Cook caused many a long laugh. LOT eng was very clever at manipulating g the piano and the singing of the two was very clever. Those old favOriF-s S. the Three White Kuhns, singers and musicians, received a big hand. As a curtain raiser it would be difficult to secure a better act than the one offered by the famous Willard Fam iIy.''

1.-The Post. Jan. 3n.l

E q have heard it said that the audi efces at Poii's calmly sit back and fold their arms and defy those on the stage to make them laugh or applaud There was no attitude of that sort taken last night. Everyone was in a very responsive mood and laughed and laughed, for the very reason that there was plenty of things to make one laugh. There were several acts that were all on a par as regards merit. and the audience was not slow to recognize that fact. The Right Girl; as presented by Lulu Mcconnell and Grant Simpson was great, and Miss Mcconnell mighty clever. The Millionaire Tramps', Cook and Lorenz, were great and the house did not hes itate an instant in voicing it's ap- provaI. They had a lot of funny stuff that slid over the footlights and reach ed the audience without a hitch of any kind.''

cThe Telegram, Jan. S0.l

ssFrom the opening act right straight through the bill, Polis this week is far above the ordinary and the bill is genuinely one Of features throughout. The honor Of the biggest hit is di- vided among so many acts that indi- viduaI taste alone could settle the question. There was never a doubt of the reception accorded to AIcCon- nell and Simpson in their newest and brishtest sketch. The Right Girl Cook and Lorenz, The MiIIior aire Hoboes'. are 2 pair of screams of the first calibre and kept the audience in d perfect uproar throughout their ap- pearance. Another immense hit on the bill was furnished hs- the Three White Kuhns.
