LYRIC THEATRE

1t is easy to realize the cause Of
the great popularity of Seven Sis
ters'' after seeing the play at the Ly-
rio theatre. For snappy vivacious ac-
ton you cannot find it's equal. Every
character contributes it's share as an
amusement factor. Miss Cleveland is
seen in the most delightful comedy
part she has had an opportunity of
playing here The astounding little
artist is positively bewi1dering as the
very pretty, vivacious, wi1lfu1 Mici.
She is everywhere at once, her little
feet tripping back and forth with
lightning-like rapidity. Mr.. Bruce
and Miss Lewis are close contestants
for honors. With the rest of the
splendid company as strong seconds
there are also runs. Speed, action
and dash are the success elem ents of
the very entertaining playstory. For
the closing week of the Eleanor
Cleveland Stock Co., the management
offers the most recent stock release
Confession by Hal1eck Reid which
will be seen in Bridgeport for the
first time on Monday evening next.
This great drama has created a most
profound impression and is endorsed
by the high dignitaries of the church.
1t is an intensely dramatic story,
treats a, great religious subject rever-
emily and will appeal to every class
of theatregoer.

COUNCIL
WANTS LICENSE SYSTEM
Report OF Special Committee and
View of Mayor Grace Are In
dorsed by City Council

Charleston, Jan. At a meeting Of
the special committee Of city coun-
Gil, charged with the preparation Of a
memorial to the legislature requesting
changes in existing liquor laws look
ing toward legalizing Of the traffic
and the reestab ablishment of the old sa-
loon system Of selling by the drink,
the matter was discussed at length
and the committee decided to report
the drafts of the mayors ideas on the
subject at the meeting Of city council
for final action.
The mayors views were embodied
in his address submitted to the Char
lesion county delegation yesterday aft
ernoon. The paper was first to be
passed upon by the committee and
then by city council, but as the dele
cation desired to have it submitted at
once, Mayor Grace did so, and further
addressed the delegation in support
of his views In brief Mayor Grace
asks that the legislature provide for
the license system for the wholesale
liquor dealers in Charleston and then
pass bill submitting the question of
the charge of the constitutional pro-
vision to popular vote that legislation
may be affected looking toward the Ii
cense of the retail establishments, the
whole system to be under strict po-
lice supervision and control, which
would be effected under the proposed
laws.
At a meeting of city council as
committee of the whole tonight a res
olution was adopted indorsing the re-
port of the special committee and the
views of Mayor Grace as the views of
city council, requesting the county
delegation to work for the adoption
of the plan. Mayor Grace and a COM
mittee of city council and perhaps the
entire council will appear before the
legislature, urging repeal of prohibi
ton enactment for Charleston county,
the immediate licensing of whole
ments, and the passage of resolu-
ton submitting to popular vote the
question of changing the constitu-
ton to allow ultimately the reestab-
lishment of the licensed saloon.

Confirmed for Rheumtism.

The Rev. Joshua Kimber, in his
"reminiscences, tells the following an
ecdote of the late Bishop Horatio Pot
ter:
He had been journeying up the east
bank of the Hudson river, stopping
for confirmation each day at adjoin-
ing parishes. When he reached
Poughkeepsie he saw a woman at the
rail waiting for confirmation whose
face he was sure he recognized and
was somewhat familiar with. He was
also certain that she had been con-
firmed within the week at another
place. The bishop Whispered to her
to remain after service; and said;
"My dear madam, what do you mean
by coming for confirmation? I am
sure I confirmed you on Monday at
such a place. Did I not?"
She said: ''You certainly did I have
been following you up the river and
have been confirmed every day this
week
He, astonished, said. "Why did you
do that" Whereupon she replied:
Because I heard it was good for
rheumatism

ing story about his father, the late
Joseph Jefferson, so well beloved by
all theatre goers.
For a long time before his death
Mr.. Jefferson was very sensitive upon
the subject of his retirement from the
stage. When he was playing in one
of the Southern cities a paper came
out with the news that he had de-
cided to leave the footlights at the
expiration of his engagement in that
city.
Mr.. Jefferson resented the printing
of such a, story, and the reporter who
had brought it in was called upon to
tell how he got it.
why" he explained, "the city edi-
tor told me to see Joseph Jefferson
and ask him if it were true that he
was soon to retire.
We'll" he was asked, "did you see
him?"
E'No" he replied; "I went to his
hotel and sent my card up to his
room, and it was sent back with this
written on it: Mr.. Jefferson has re-
tired
so, you see, I had good authority
for the story"
