Soup, I'm it," was the salutation of Thomas McCaffery, Lowell, Mass, as he waited through the door of po- lice headquarters last night with a tale of trouble. He explained his presence there by saying that he had been called soup all the way from his home to Bridgeport and wanted relief He ascribed this to the fact that he had worked in a Lawrence restaurant but had to give up the work on account of being called soup" all of the time. The same procedure was followed when he got a job in Providence, so he left on foot with the idea of distancing his undesired nickname. Much mystery was expressed as to how all Bridge port knew it. In order to do a hu- mane act and keep him from the squirrels, Inves estigator Alexander r. Morrissey of the Department of Chari- ties was called in to take him to LakevieW for observation. Excessive smoking of cigarettes is given as one of the probable causes of his trou- bIe. He gives his age as 23 years and occupation as a carpet weaver.

 HILLSIDE CLUB ACTIVITY.
 It is rumored that the Hillside club will give either aminstrel show or modern society play in the near fu- ture. The themes being tentatively considered for the latter form of amusement are How the Suffragette may take the place of the Political Hee1er," or How High Finance May Aid Political Ambition" The members believe, as the public have had sur .foat of whists and dances so far this . son that a dramatic entertainment N ould appeal to the pocketbooks of NewtoWners when the other forms of amusement would pail on the social appetite in the e-ChristnaS season. So we may have drama; and the Hill side club can give the public the hot stuff right off the bat, as they have demonstrated frequently in minstrelsy in the past The public await their de- cision.
