 The railroads have been reporting of late years a big increase in mum Der Of shareholders. Magazines and news papers devote much space to ans wer- ing questions regarding stock market propositions from people of lin1:ked m cans, many of whom have but the most elementary idea of investments. The railroad corporations have view ed the small investor with great fla vor- One sees why, from the story told by a man who spent a night at a certain city in a boarding house near. the railroad yards He remarked to his 1andlady that a certain freight car must have been delayed there a week, as it then had snow on it. The Iandlady remarked with some aspeTtty that the snow came the night before, and that the railroad handled it's freight very promptly.
 Afterward it appeared that the land lady owned two shares stock in the corporation that owned that freight car. These little lots.s of stock create a, widespread friendly sentiment that
 is felt to be valuable.
 The school teacher, the clergymen, the small business man, and the widow have been frequent customers at the railroad bargain counter during the past few years. Many Of their prizes are bitterly repented Of The alIuring stories that the E1dorado Pacific is going to buy up the Golconda Central usually prove to have been circula ted by people having G.

FOX'S LYRIC THEATRE
(By the Fox Lyric Press Agent.)

(By the Fox Lyric Press Agent.)
 It has long been an accepted truism that boosting your own goods will get you more customers than knocking the other fellows, and that is why Miss Cleveland prefers to tell of the splen- did play selected for this week, ''The Desert ers'' good enough to have en- toyed an immense run at the Hudson Theatre in New York, with Helen Ware In the title role, and well enough liked by Bridgeport ttaeatre-goers more than a year ago to pack the Lyric at every performance and; hang up a, record for attendance that will stand for years to come. Indeed if all who were un- able to see The Deserters'' for lack of seats when it last played here at tend this week the record will be given a close run
 .-The Deserters'' is a play with a military atmosphere, and it's central 6gure is a girl brought up, so to speak, fin the army and inlbued with the spirit so much that she secures a position in the secret service depa artnaent, her es- peciaI mission being to trace deserters from the army. This brings in her way a young lieutenant she is sent to find, and without knowing she is tracking him he falls in love with her, and the love is reciprocated. Her con dict between love and duty forms the ! big theme of the play. Miss Cleveland zviI have the Helen Ware role, and tn ose who have seen the original pro d1Action and who also saw Miss Cleve- lan1 in the role last season agree, vr71iAe still having a warm admiration for Miss Wares talent, that Miss CleveAand is none the less superior in any portion of her interpretation Robert IConness will have the role of the desarter, and Guy Harrington, Afargare Lewis and Wilson Humme1 have strong g parts.

WEDDING BELLS FOR JERE COOKE

New York, June 9.-Some time within the next week or ten days, Jere Rhode Cooke, the former Hampstead, N. Y., clergyman whose wife divorced him, yesterday, will be married to Floretta Whaley, with whom he elop- ed six years ago. The date of the marriage, Cooke's lawyer, w. J. En- nison, said today, has been set for the day Cooke receives a certified copy of the divorce decree from the court at Hartford, Conn.,, that granted 1t.
 The honeymoon" said the lawyer, will probably be an afternoon affair, good dinner and the marriage will be a civil one, although one of the most respected c1ergymen in New York has expressed his willingness to officiate. When I told them of the willingness of this minister to marry them they thought it over but decided not to change their original plans for a civil marriage
 MT. Ennison and Floretta Wha1ey's S grandmother will probably witness the ceremony. Cooke was working as usual, today, on a downtown sky scraper at his trade of painter and decorator.

The feature picture at this theatre today is entitled tHThe White Slave A Vita graph Special in two parts One of the most difficult problems in the days before the War was the question of the mixture of the races Under the law, the child of a slave was a slave
 irrespective of color. Some Of the difficulties involved by this are Str1k- ing1y illustrated in 'f'The White Slave The story deals with the revelation to a white girl that she has black blood in her veins and that she is a slave of the state which she lives. The beautiful character of the girl and her utter heedlessness to overcome an ac- cident of birth creates a powerful effect upon ones sympathies and emotions. The manner in which human lives were bartered and the evils of the laws dealing with the slave question are str1kingly illustrated. This feature to-

strongest appeal to most boys is un- doubtedly camping. Camp Pootatuck. where so many Bridgeport boys have had some of their best times, offers real camp life under ideal conditions.
 Camp Pootatuck is under the direc- ton of the Boys Division of the Bridgeport Young Mems Christian As sociation. It is Shot maintained for any financial profit, but rather that the boys of Bridgeport may have opportunity to spend their summer Va cation among helpful surroundings. It i1s more than a vacation resort; it aims to make the season one of definite ac- complishment along all lines of de- velopment.
 The location this year is not to be move to Hatch Pond in South Kent, a beautiful spot in the southern Berk- shires There we will have the exclu- sive use Of several hundred acres of land. An excellent spring is in the midst of the camp. The tents will set on a bluff less than one hundred yards from the shore of the pond, close to a beautiful grove of hemlocks
 The equipment will be materially added to this year. We have a cook house, large dining tent, ' tents for the boys, several boats, a swimming float. a library Of about two hundred volumes. and on the property is field that can be used for baseball and other games.
 The management will be in the hands of Herbert R. Tucker, Boys Work Secretary, who has had five years experience in the management Of boys camps He will be assisted by a corps of picked leaders, Chris tian men who are in thorough sympa- thy with the boys. There will be one such leader for every six boys.
 Athletics receive a, large share of at tention. Baseball, boating, athletic and aquatic meets are included. Swim ming is carefully supervised and every precaution is taken to guard against accidents. A competent instructor is
