BEAUTIFUL IRELAND'
Descendant of Famous Irish Apostle of Temperance, Father Mathew, to Lee tUre Here.

The announcement of Miss Kath- 1een Matthews appearances in this city about the middle of next month in her wonderful pictorial review of Beau t4flll Ireland has created the iveliest interest, and the way the public are already talking of this brilliant and distinguished young Irish woman in dicates that she is in for most en- thusiastic welcome. The members of Ladies' Auxiliary, No. 20, under whose patronage she comes, are working hard to insure a good attendance at the entertainment so as to build up their relief fund, and when the tickets are out next week they will at once begin to circulate them among the public Quite a few of them will go down to Greenwich, where Miss Mat thews appears tomorrow evening, to assure themselves that the great praise eshowered on the young woman where ever she has appeared is in line with her remarkablez accom- adjustments as an entertainer. John J. Sp1ain, gem erai manager of the Po1i circuit, who was instrumental in arranging her ap- pearance for the auxiliary, says that in all his twenty years of experience in the amusement business, during which he has seen every Irish artist of prominence, he has found none who combines so many qualities of attrac- tive merit as Miss Matthews. And his view has been endorsed by men like Colonel Moran of Washington, Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston, Mgr. Lavelle of New York, Editor HaItigan of the National Hibernian and others, who have witnessed her entertainments at the Catholic Summer School and in various cities throughout America The Bridgeport public, as well as those who know. Ireland only from reading as those who have been there, will find Miss Matthews review of 9sBeautifu1 Ireland" one of the rarest treats ever offered in this city.

Johnson simply Jumped his bond-tElat's all there was to t1lats,s
 Charles F. DeWoodie, until recently local agent of the department of jus- tice said: Fs
 ssJohnEon's charge is aibslIrd.
 Roy Jones, a. slevee district cafe pro-. prietor and friend of the lighter up to the time he testified against the de- fendant in the white slave case, said by Johnson to be go-between Parker and DeWoodies denied the allegation.

PRINCE IS To
TAKE THEF|ELD
AGAINST REbS

VIENNA, March 3.-Prince
William Wied, now king of AL
bania, is understood to be prepar-
ing to take the field in person in
an attempt to suppress rebellion
at Spirus which ushers in his
reign. The outlook is not bright,
the people Of Spirus having pro-
claimed an independent govern
ment, despite the fact that their
territory was allotted by the
powers to Albania.
A further instruction is ex-
pected to develop before the first
is disposed of. 1t is considered
foregone that Turkey will secret
ly encourage discomfort among
the sultan's subjects and Alban-
ians.
