A VETERAN OF THE CUE

George S1osson, a veteran of the vanished era when William Sexton, Jacob Schaefer, Frank Ives, John Roberts, the Eng1ishnan, and Maurice Vignaux, the Frenchman, contested for supremacy in the billiards world, will be sixty-two tomorrow, as he was born March 5, 1854, in DeKa1b, N. Y- While Willie Hoppe has-wrested the laurels from the old master, S1osson is still a name to conjure with The old balk-1ine billiardist took up the three-cushion game last year and sought to take the title away from Alfredo De Oro, but the Cuban was too clever for him. Slosson recently accepted a position as, billiard instruc- tor at the City Club in Boston. He is still a wizard with the cue, and the prospects are good for his sticking to the game for years to come.

LYRIC

Cecil Spooner and her company will next week present a play which from
 every point of view advances interest in stock productions. It is not as to the cost of this particular production, from a scenic equipment but more so as to the royalty cost, which is the highest ever paid by a, stock company and the play is the great Elsie Fergu- son al1-year success at the New York Lyceums theatre, and it goes under the simple title of t'Outcast iR Hhis great play, that one phrase means a, whole lot-nores than columns of writing could possibly denote. .ttOut- cast will prove to be a very apt de- monstration of the fact that Cecil Spooner and her management propose giving Bridgeport theatre patrons the very highest grade of plays. During the tremendous run of this intensely human play, not alone in New York, but all the principal cities of the country, this remarkably realistic and vital drama melted unusual interest and created a new box office sale re- cord.
 In the striking character of-.'NTir- tfann,,,x Miss Spooner will undoubtedly add greatly to her popularity. as it is a part directly in the line of this artiste's best line of work. While the characters concerned are not over ex- tensive as to number, they are never the1esS very strongly written, and are, human types, who have lines in their parts which not only impress, but at moments of the action of this grip ping play, arouse the audience to an actual extremity of enthusiasm. Out 4casts' is a thoroughly vital play which reaz1y conveys a story which hits the heart and rehexes various courses of hunaan nature which are of deep in- sterest to all intellfgently thinking peo-- p1e. Pe1I Trenton will be seen as i@sGeofry.'' the man of this great play Boy Hubert Henry Davies, author of numerous big successes. and which, dn "Outcast'' critics, dramatic writers, land managers have pronounced not sonfy his superior work, but the great est ttMan and Woman play ever written.

tn come early.

Josie Flynn, the popular little cont edienne,f has a delightful minstrel of fering to which the presence of a bevy of strikingly pretty young women in beautiful costumes adds greatly. The act is a success from start to finish. the girls are clever entertainers with pleasing voices and skill in the dan cing are, and Miss F'lynn's hunaor is catching. \
 The remainder of the vaudeville is made up of Eddie Foyer, an artist in every sense of the word whose funny monologue makes you laugh 'tid you're sore and whose reading of the famous poem, tHThe Shooting of Dan AIcGrew,'' is worthy of the most fa- vorable commendation; C1erke, Ster- ling & Brown, a. trio of attractive young women in songs, dances and pianoIogue; and Chester JohnsdE2 & Co. in a sensational bicycle offering.

How old is Freddie Welsh? The vital statistics compiled by Sam Aus tin assert that the lightweight cham pion was born in Pontypridd, Wales, March 5, 1886. According to this, MT. Frederick Hall Thomas-Wheih is his society name is on the verge of thirty, and will pass that milestone on Sunday. Now comes a guy who dis penses wisdom in one of the pink and passionate week1ieS asserting that Freddie f'is about thirty-five." How ever this may be-and the reader will tonight because of his ignorance as to the true factsFit is certain that the Welshman has been peddling punches in the British and American Diff bazaars for something like a dozen years. Now that Freddie has con- scented to risk his title in a decision bout, we shall perhaps see whether or not age has withered his infinite variety of clever ring tricks. In spite of the hammer brigade, Welsh is cer- tainly supreme in his particular brand of fisticuffs, and you have to hand it to him Nor developing o1everness and ring science to point seldom attain ed by American boxers.

WORTHLESS DOGS"

Rabies are said to be prevalent
in many counties Of the state,
212 patients having been given
Pasteur treatment during the
past seventeen months. Rabies
is caused, or is said to be caused,
solely by the bite Of a dog suffer-
ing with rabies. The disease
could be easily stamped out if
there was an intelligent law on
the statute books placing IL
cense on dogs that would make it
impossible for two-thirds of the
dogs to roam streets Of the city,
village and thoroughfares of
the country at will, without hind
rance from any course. Attempts
have been made to put a dog H.
cense upon the statute books of
the state, but the lawmakers ap-
pear to be afraid of this partic-
uLar species of legislation and
laugh it down or pigeonhole bills
offered. If our legislators will
not rid the state of worthless dogs
by placing of license on all dogs, !
towns and cities ought to permit
The killing or Imprisonment of
al stray dogs upon the streets
and thoroughfares. = Meridian

SINGLE TAKERS GAINS.

President Wilson has recently ap-
pointed Herbert Quick another single
taxer on the Loan Board. This makes
about the sixteenth known public servan,
he has chosen from the ranks of the
George men. Many think the President
himself is headed in our direction. It
is an open secret in New York City
that Arthur Brisbane. Hearst's chief
editorial writer has long been believer
in the George system of land tenure.
The Woman Suffrage party are adding
to our ranks daily since Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait is known to be an ardent
single taxer. Never before in all the
history of this great world wide reform
were the ranks increasing as they are
to-day. 1t would take bold man to
say we are not now on the eve of 1ealiz-
ing the heaven on earth that this great
innovation will bring.
