Sylvester z. Poll, amusement mag
nate, proprietor of the chain of thea
tres which bears his name, came to
Bridgeport today and with due and
fitting ceremony turned the. first
shovelful of earth for the magnificent
new vaudeville theatre which he is
building at the Sorner of Main and
Congress streets.
The first stroke of the shovel by
Mr.. Poll was the signal for the turn
Ing loose of the forces of the Torring-
contract for the s225,O00 structure,
which is to be completed and ready for
opening on Sept. 28 next.
AT an informal dinner following the
breaking of ground, Mr.. Poll confirmed
the fact that his circuit of theatres
has just been augmented by another
very important addition-the Chase
theatre-fn Washington, D. c., one Of
the most famous and best managed
vaudeville houses in America, and
which, with the new Bridgepor. thea
ire will make the Goth house in tire
Poll circuit.
Among the invited witnesses of the
breaking of ground this morning were
Louis M. Sagal. proprietor of the Sagal
building in this city, head of the New
England .advertising company, and
represeIis fer Mr.. Poll in real es-
tate deais: " Pardy, general man
ager of the. local branch of the Tor
rington BuiIding Company, which has
undertaken to put UP the magnificent
new theatre in record time; w. j.

M. j. Jordan, of this city, and repre-
sentatives of the local press.
About month from now the cor
ner stone of the new theatre will be
laid with due ceremony, Mayor Cliff
ford B. Wilson probably officiating.
Upon the opening Of the big theatre
in September there will be another
celebrations.
The announcement of the acquisition
Of Chases theatre by Mr.. Poll came
as complete surprise, no rumors of
this having leaked out until the pres
ent time. Mr.. Poll laughingly con-
firmed the fact when the newspaper
men put it up to him. this morning,
and admitted that he had taken an
other theatrical enterprise under his
wing
+ Chase's vaudeville theatre in the ma
tional capital is one of the best known
of the big time vaudeville houses in
the country, and is peculiar for the
fact that it is under the management
Of woman-Miss Winnifred Dewitt,
who is big success as manager.
Chase's is known as ''the polite house.

terian in the Country

ted States with a more thorough
knowledge of the law applicable to
combinations of capital than Parsons.
While represented by James M. Beck
and Delaney Nicoll, it was expected
Parsons would be the actual guiding
figure of the defense although he was
not expected to do any Of the court
room talking.
The government had 40 witnesses
on hand TO call and it was expected
the trial would be long drawn out
Wise bitterly denounced Parsons as
the brains of the conspiracy" He
and Harmed worked together, Wise
said, to deceive Segal and get control
Of the Pennsylvania Refinery. They
loaned the Philadelphia man. Wise
declared. s1,250,000 on collateral val
ued at less than s75o,OOO. but in that
collateral were the bonds which gave
them control of the big Pennsylvania
refinery which. Waise said, was the
only rival the trust feared.
Wise promised that the whole in
side story of the conspiracy would be
barred to the jury and that he would
show the methods used to wreck the
Pennsylvania Refinery and prevent it
becoming an opponent were as un-
scrupulous as ever were known in
business

HE'LL.

eFrom a Pathological Standpoint
 As Chimmie Fadden would say, ..What tell? What t'hell?' The dis cussion precipitated by the declara- tion made ill the annual convention of the International Bible Students As sociation, recently held at Washing ton that an actual hell of fire and birthstone does not exist, goes merri- ly en- s.
 Aside from the question of whether hell is myth or an actual address aside from the question of punish ment after death, he'll furnishes a subject of considerable interest from 8 pathological standpoint The word, shell', and it's synonymous terms have a. permanent place in our language They stand for certain ideas in ous thought.
 Life is an uncertain quantity at best, and in it's various maZeS and phases it presents not few fore tastes of fires that flame fiercely and 6ieker to. Thus it is, we have come to associate the troubles, tortures and punishments of our mundane exist ence with the tortures and punish ments of hell.
 Hades provides many of our every day metaphors. Nothing is more nat ural than that we should compare the heat of our atmospheric shell to the reputed heat of the Inferno.
 Some of the phrases we have evolv. ed are quite impressive, admit of apt application and lend pith and force. not to say picturesqueness to our discourse: sHell and hot water. Hell for sartin, | "BetWiXt hell and the ironworks,
 "From hell tc breakfast.
 ''Hell for leather, Hell bent for election,
 Shades of Gehenna, "Hotter than the seven brass hinoes of Hades,
 Hotter than Tophet.
 ''Hotter than the devils kitchen,
 .'To hell in hand-hasket,' and others less euphonious and not of classical origin. Shakespeare made use CT such com
 pound words as: hell-black. he'll broth, hell-hated, hell-brewed. and hell-hag. In single scene of Rich ard IIT we find:
 "Avaunt thou dreadful minister of hell.
 Which his hell-governed arm hath butchered!
 For thou hast made the happy earth thy hell,
 And thou unfit for any place but he'll"
 We speak of a prison, or a gamb- ling-houSe as a hell A receptacle into which printer throws his broken type, or tailor his shreds is known as the .'nell box. ' The analogy of this expression is per feet-literally, place to which things worthless and broken are consigned Regardless of what becomes our belief concerning hell and punishment after death, the word, hell" and it's corresponding terms will retain their significance in our thought and lan- suage. We really could not get alonc without them
