Curtis Van Voorhees, read the Sun
day school lesson. Being boys day,
the men and boys were put to the
front. The junior boys to the number
of eighteen, taught by Hassell Hedge,
occupied the choir loft and made
things ring with their sweet young
voices Fifty-six were present in the
Optimi class, and one hundred and
fifty.fye boys in the entire school.
But they were out-numbered by the
girls by twenty-three, making total
of 1893 for the school. Harry Schmitt,
for a number of years student in
the school but now doing Y. NJ. c. A.
work in Chicago, talked to the school
for fifteen minutes in an unusually
interesting way. His varied expert.
ence and open mind has made him a
most useful man. The entire school
is proud of his achievements. Among
those who have returned from their
summer vacation were Mrs. C. NJ. Por-
ter and sons John and Rex. Mr..
Deadman preached on Gods Plan of
Conquest" Ii was attentively listen

PLAZA.

(By the Theatres Publicity BureauO
 A vol1ey of applause greeted Abe AtteI1, the featherweight champion of walked before the footlights at the Plaza Theatre last night and it was several minutes before the noise sub sided enough to permit the hghting monoIogust to go on with his act. Yet. to a certain extent, it was an expected q ovation for a man who has been her aided for years as the cleverest boxer the world has ever known outside of Packey Mcfarland. Abe told some humorous event of his career and his experiences with some of our most popular boxing heroes that kept the audience convulsed with laughter and closed with little recitation that car ried world of truth with it and which was greatly appreciated.
 Unada 6 Irving presenting the most artistic musical skit ever witnessed by Bridgeport audience, scored triumphantIy. The scenery was beau tiful, representing Venice by moon- light and the music and singing was a much relished treat.
 As a laugh creator, Nelson, the comedy juggler, took the blue ribbon. Everything he did caused a screa m and many of his tricks led the audi ence to believe that he was a, magician as we'll as 8 jugg1er.

PARK THEATRE
s.Uncle Toms Cabin"

Uncle Toms Cabin will be at the Park Theatre, Wednesday matinee and night and will be presented by Leon Washburn's: Stetson's Uncle Tom's Cabin" company, a. company of merit. The American public today finds greatest delight in the drama that has the big human note, that deals with elemental passions and sorrows, and that tells a, gripping, vital story. It is a rare relish. You know that ''Uncie Toms Cabin contains these elements. How often have you said: fI would like to see it played by a good com pany." Now is your chance. Don't forget the time, the place and the play.
 There is plenty to laugh at in tfThe Legend of the Ring,'' the new musical bizarre farce comeGy which Charles H. Waldron presents at the Park Theatre, Dec. Is, 19 and 20 when the Trocadero Burlesquers come to town with Frank Ffnney, the author, as the star. Scenes are laid at Newport thence to- India The comedy situa- tions provide NAr. Ffnney plenty of op- portunities for his eccentric style o1 humor and so long as he and Sam Adams are on the stage the fun goes unflagging. Minnie Burke, the little princess of soubrettes, has a part which provides unusual opportunities for this charming comedienne, and with the powerful singing chorus, the Bostonians and the farce comedy stars the lovers of booming burIesque are promised a most enjoyable perform ance.

 Mention n111st be made of the violin playing of Petronella, which was high ly appreciated and artistically ren- dered. Also in Jennie Rose there is ac- ton as a. eolrbrette She worked with a vim which put otl1ers to shame. Lu- cia Cooper displayed good dramatic training as well as coming forward we'll in voice.
 When all is said, however, the entire show is carried by 'fBlutch,' McRae, PetroneIIa and Catherine Horton, and Bridgeport theatregoers are recon mended to witness their performance while here.

i (Reviewed by the Theater's Publicity Bureau) Every one of the big acts at the big PoH theater in Main street scored a decided hit with the big crowd last evening. 'tThe Stage Struck Kids is lone of the c1eVerest acts of it's kind. The kids, short and tall, lean and fat, demonstrate their ability as perform CTS. There are some singers and their voices blend.
 The Graziers proved themselves to be all that has been claimed for them, as musicians of pre- eminent skill and distinctive dancers. Among the many other unusual novelties, Ethel Grazier plays a piano accompaniment with one hand while playing cornet selec- ton.

KEEPING THE ENGAGED
GIRL FAITHFUL.

An Ohio judge has decided that a young man engaged to a young wom- an has no legal right to assault any other young man whose company she may accept. In deciding 8 case in voIving such an assault the judge said:
 An engaged woman has the right to go with others. The fance may have an action against her for breach of promise. but he can have no action against the third party. After mar riage the third party may be sued for alternating the wife's affection. But an engagement is merely a promise to enter into the marriage contract The engagement, of course, should be held sacred, but just the same the lady has the right to accept the attentions ot other men,
 For the engaged young man to sub init in peace may be law, but it is not human nature.
 He is apt to regard his dimes spent for ice cream and his dollars spent for drives as a tangible investm ent, which he sees endang gered and feels called upon to defend.
 As the Ohio judge says, the law gives him no redress; so he is forced to rely upon his own charms with the girl or his fists with the other fellow. Ere quentIy he finds his fists more effec- tive than his charms.
 Resort to violence may De morally wrong, as well as illegal, but what else is the engaged young man with all his affections and cash invested in the girl, to do in self-defense? If all such young men were to sit still while other young men coo1ly walked off with their fancees, it would not be long until engagements would be held as lightly as marriage itself
 If the engaged girl has the right to accept the attentions of all men, it follows in all fairness that the en- gagged young man is likewise free to pay attentions to other young women. Of course, the complications may be simplided at any moment by calling the engagement off. No doubt this is the sensible way, after all.
 For the engaged young man who must use his fists to keep the engaged girl faithful to him before marriage will not find in matrimony an end to his troubles.-Hartford Post.
