Lost on Fish by Helping Schooner.
There may be interesting litigation
at Portland over claim made by
Capt. o'Brien Of the Boston fishing
schooner Alice. Who asserts that he
lost at least a cent pound on his
fare of fresh fish because he stood by
the six-masted schooner Edward j.
Lawrence Wednesday morning, at the
request of capt Kreger, her master.
A letter was received from Capt o.
Brien, Tuesday making the claim,
which Capt. Kreser said he did not
feel was a Just or reasonable one, as
he himself had often stood by vessels
in distress and never thought of be-
ing paid for doing so. Capt. Kreger
explained that Wnen his vessel was
in great danger capt. O'Brien asked if
he could be of use, and he replied he
should be glad TO have him stand by
so as to be able to take off himself
and his crew in case the Lawrence
rolled over.

POLITICS FINDERS
 ELM CITY GROWTH SAYS BUTTERWORTH
Bull Moose Leader Claim $ Bridgeport Is Running Away
 from New Haven

New Haven. May 21-"Po1itics and ring rule have been the curse of sew eraI American cities, notably New York, Philadelphia and Cincinnati,' 2 said ex-senator Frank s. Butterworth, today. MT. Butter rworth was citing some of the influences which htndered manufacturing growth in New Haven and instanced- politics as one of the chief causes.
 Why, we are at a standstill in manufacturing said the ex-Senator.
 ''I do not mean that we are manu- featuring less than we did five years ago, but we have not progressed in the proportion that some of our sister cit fes have progressed. Bridgeport Is ahead of us and Waterbury and Hart ford are doing just as well as we are. What is required is intelligent and progressive citizens, who cut away from politics.
 ..Is not the chamber of commerce doing something in this line, MT. But terworth?"
 seYes they are doing something. but they could do a whole lot more if the chamber was not controlled by poli- ties. The chamber of commerce should take the lead in getting manufactur- ing here. The city has taken quite a start since the Taft hotel was built, but a whole lot more should be. done. The city is not growing as 1t should be growing. There should be put forth more intelligent effort in build ing up the city's interests. And poll tics should be cut out in this matter of increasing the city's growth. Bridgeport is running away from us and we~need to get hustle on us-

ATTRACTIONS 1.-THE THEATRES
THE PLAZA
(By the Plaza Press Agent.l


 Packed, damned, pleased houses are more than the rule at the Plaza Thea tre where the Poli Players are gdv- ing the first stock production of the remarkable romantic drama 'tA But terdy on the Wheel" The PoH Play CTS are proving their htstr1onfc nettle this week, for every character in this most potent play is a difficult one and that each artist in the roster of the company has acquitted himself or her self creditably, proves again Manager Polls extreme sense of judgment in selecting players.
 "A Butterfly on the WheeI'' is one Of the most virilet love stories ever written. The scene between Paul McAllister and Brenda, Fowler, in the first act, wherein the former makes passionate love to the latter, is with out a parallel.
 The thrilling trial scene in act three absolutely absorbs the attention of the entire audience to such an extent that an attorney, in the audience, Monday night, almost forgot his presence and began to arise, at the end of one speech, and 1nterpose an objection.
 Every member of the big organiza- ton has succeeded in popula,rizing himself or herself and the great pa- trona ge and pleased expressions of the patrons go farther than any self-n1ade praise we can say of ourselves.
 Daily matinees at ten and twenty cents, and evenings at ten, twenty and thirty, makes the Plaza and the Poli Players particularly pleasing proposf- tions during this propitious period.

 To offer 8 second edition of that which has been acknowledged the greatest musical comedy success in theatrical history is something of an undertaking, in fact Gus FIiII hesi- tates and is tempted to let we'll enough alone and stick to the old sure fire book that has made him upwards of half a million dollars in the past two seasons, but the irrepressib1e Bud Fisher don't seem to hesitate at any thing. He has taken his character creations through Turkey and Mexico, and periodically feels that the Pan anna. Canal cannot be properly opened without the assistance of Mutt and Jeff

with having created a deeper impres-
 sion. than any other play given the stage by a native author during the present generation. it's story is fresh and strongly appealing. Mary Fur ner, the heroine, develops from a timid shrinking girl into a woman of amazing daring and resourcefulness. living by her wits and evading the law and using the law to protect her self. She has been wrongfully con victed of crime and sent to prison. Upon her release she is persecuted and harassed until, in desperation she turns upon her purs1ers who repre- sent the law. She matches her wits and courage against the brutality of the police and pfeys upon society with amazing success, remaining, however, always within the law by using it's HechnicaIities as a safeguard against Spunishm ent. Her triumph, while not complete, strongly suggests the eva sive methods said to be employed by unscrupu1ous financiers to escape re- sponsibiltty for their. ulegitimate oper- atfons under the guise of so-ca.lled 'Sbig. business.

FOUND HEALTH
 IN VAR-NE-SIS
Unable to Walk Any Dis tance Until New Remedy
 Was Put to Test

Tor over twelve years I suffered tisrn I had a severe case of indiges- tion. gas would form, all my food dis tressed me and on top of this l had muscular and sciatic rheumatism. My knees were stiff and bothered me a great deal to walk any distance, or to go up or down stairs. To get up from a chair gave me great pain on account of the stiffness in my joints. " So said Mrs. l.. F. Sherwin of 8 Libby street Worcester, Mass. 1T think I tried about everything that was ever recommended without relief Finally got some of this Var-ne-sis and be- gan to see improvement almost at once. I could eat without distress and my rheumatism disappeared en- tirely, that I am now in good health, thanks to Var-ne-sis."
 Another enthusiastic supporter of Var -ne-sis is MT. A. M. Marcou of 91 Canterbury St., Worcester, Mass. He says;
 --I have been a great sufferer from stomach trouble and rheumatism. It was hard for me to get a nights est on account of the pain This soon run my general health down so that was in pretty bad shape when started on var-ne-sis. It helped me from the very first and today would never know had a sick day."

 Stratford, May 1.-The activities at the Weapaug Country Club continue 10 increase rapidly as the grounds Deg1n to take on a sem bIance of reg ular country club grounds. The golf links are now ready for use-aE feast Tor practice The course is not as perfect now of course as 1t will be after 1t has been in use for a few weeks, but even as 1t is at stais time it is one of the best courses in this vicinity.
 The spot selected for the tennis courts Is right on the top of the high est hill at RnowIton Park on a piece Of land as level as a. table and from which a view of the entire town and Long Island Sound can be obtained The executive board of the club it is stated, is negotiating with Miner R. Knowlton to obtain the big new bungalow at the Washington avenue entrance to Knowlton Park near the top of the West Broad street. hi11, and if this bungalow can be obtained the members of the club will have one of, if not the finest, club houses around Bridgeport.
 The way the applications for mem berslaip have been coming in has been extremely gratifying to the men who started the movement for a country club in Sstratford. and the secretary of the club stated yesterday that the charter membership roll Is now almost filled and will probably be closed with in a, few days, as soon as 150 members have been admitted.

SUFFRAGAN BISHOP IS PREFERRED BY
 EPISCOPAL CLERGY

Bishop Chauncey B. Brewster has addressed a circular appeal to the clergy and 1aity of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Hartford, which comprises Connecticut, urging them to vote for a, bishop suffragan and against a bishop coadjutori and dtvi- sion of the diocese at the diocesan convention, to be held in St Paul's Church. in. New Haven, June 8 and g..
 At last years convention. after an Aeight: hour deadlock, the Rev. gJ. C. Linsley. of Torrington, was elected bishop suffragan on the thirteenth ballot. Because of a technical oljec- ton the Rev. MT. Lins1ey declined to serve, and the matter is to be thresh- ed out again in the coming conven- tion-
 Meanwhile the question of eIecting a bishop sufrragan has been compIi- cated by the development of a con- siderable sentin ent for the selection instead of a bishop coadjutor, and by the favor with which a proposal for the division of the diocese Is received In canvass of the two hundred rec ference have been obtained from 154. as follows:-For a bishop suffra gan. e9; for a bishop coadjutor.f AT; for a division of the diocese. 38.
 Bishop Brewster opposes the cleo ton of a bishop coadjutor because it presupposes physical infirrnity of the bishop and requires ratification by the general convention, in October.
 Other subjects on which debate is expected are a proposed canon for the publication of marriage banns, a reso- lution to be introduced changing the name of the Church to that of the American Catholic Church, and a project for establishing a cathedral parish, which was continued by last years convention.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
Don't Neglect Your Teeth
BY BLANCHE BEACON

Beautiful teeth may be the posses sion of every woman nowadays when dentists have brought their work to such an expert science
 There is nothing more charming than red lips disclosing pearly teeth and nothing about one is more con ducive to health and happiness.
 Many a pretty girl has a bad case of dyspepsia because her mother has neglected her teeth.
 Flew mothers understand that it Is imp possible to attach too much i'm portanoe to the care of their chiIdren's s teeth,' a well-known dentist told me the other day.
 The first teeth must be kept strong and healthy to insure a good quality in the second or permanent teeth. The first teeth nourish the second before the 1atetr come through, and when the baby set comes out too soon, at times the. second set is weakened because the teeth lack the supply of nourish- ment. If the first teeth are allowed to stay in too long, the second are stained and often crooked. Indeed, the most frequent cause of uneven teeth is that the milk set Is not remov- ed soon enough, which forces the sec ond growth out of the natural posi- tion.
 If the baby teeth are properly ta- ken care of, children, as a rule, lose the nrSt set at the proper time; If neglected the teeth decay and come out long time before they should. There are, however, cases where, even with the best of care, the first teeth stay in too long and must be pulled. A mother cannot decide this question; only an experienced dentist can tell whether the first teeth should be let alone or pulled.
 One of the first things to teach a child is the use of a tooth brusf and the mother should be particularly careful that the brush is the right quality and size. The aversion of most children to tooth brush is of ten explained by the fact that the brfstles hurt and unconscious1y the idea of pain is associated with tooth brushes
 If your teeth have been neglected by a careless mother, take your trou- bles to a good dentist, but whatever
