Beardsley Park Setting
 Being Prepared For Big
 Open Air Dramatic Event

Final preparations are being made Louis Smirnow's play, "The Masque of Shakespeare" in Beardsley park on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week, dress rehearsals in the park to begin this evening. Never before in the history of Bridgeport was there any outdoor production planned, and certainly nothing on so vast a scale or with such thoroughness and corl- pleteness. One of the ablest director in the country Alexander Leftwich, of the management of Daniel Frohman. was procured for the staging and pro- duction of this play, and the choice was indeed a happy one, as any can see from the ingenious way in which he is now building the setting in Beardsley park for this wonderful spectacle.
 The boxes and the stage have sprung up as if over night, and by this even ing the lights will be in full force, over two thousand watt lights, so that ev- erything will practically be ready for the production.
 The guests of honor at the first per- formance will be Governor Holcomb and members of his staff, Mayor Will son, Col. Harry Cutler of Providence, and number of other prominent peo- pie. Below is a list of the patrons and patronesses who have bought boxes and who will see the performance: Mrs. I. De Yer Warner, Mrs. De Yer H. Warmer, Mrs. L. T. Warner, Mrs. John T. King, Mrs. J. H. Van Tassel, Mrs. John c. Curtis, Mrs. Jonathan Godfrey, Mrs. M. H. Ford, Mrs. W. A. Grippin, Mrs. George M. Flames, Judge Morris B. Beardsley, Mrs. c. Barnum Seeley, Mrs. Nathaniel W.

CONVENT AT AvIGNoN, FRANCE
DESTROYED BY FIRE-DAM-
AGE lRREPARAeLE.

The ancient convent of the Celes-
tins at Avignon, one of the richest
works of art and history in France,
has been destroyed by fire, and the
damage is estimated at 100000 francs,
but is in reality irreparable. 1t was
built in 1893, and the great halls,
which with their wonderful ceilings
were admirably preserved, succumbed
TO the flames, only the chapel being
saved. In its nave are the tombs of
seventeen cardinals, archbishops and
bishops, grouped around that of Bless
ed Pierre Of Luxembourg. The con-
vent was founded by the antelope,
Robert of Geneva, on a allo-Roman
cemetery. After the revolution it was
given to the Invalides and later be-
came military prison. Recently it
was appropriated as the barracks of
the Seventh Engineers. There have
been questions asked in the Chamber
of Deputies and long commentaries in
official circles on the scandal of per-
hitting this building, which was
classed as an historic monument, to
be used as a barrack, which contribut.

"A SUMMER DAY IN ERIN"
BY John J. Beekman ICY Perkins)

Summer breezes gently stirring,
Heavy with the scent Of rose,
And the perfume of the wood-bine,
On the wall it twines and grows.
I.innets in the hawthorne hedges.
Robins in the apple tree,
Sing their songs of cheerful music
Mellow strains of bird-note glee.
Hank! at noon day up the valley,
Rings the Angelus so sweet.
Men they pause in supplication,
Ave Maria's they repeat.
Rings the bleating of the lambkin,
AS they gambol along the way,
And the Jennet for her dinner,
Starts a loud discordant bray.
Thus. the summer day in Erin.
Pass so full of life and cheer,
Molly goes with jug for water,
Sparkling water, cool and clear.
Goslfn. guse. and buckets follow.
Molly, as she trips along,
Smiling as her bright eyes sparkle,
'Tis thus in Erin, land of song.
The Advocate.

During the years immediatel,

During the years Immediately
preceding. the World War, the
bigots in France had almost abso-
lutte control of governmental af-
fairs and it was almost impossible
for Catholic army officer to re-
ceive promotion. At the begin
ming of the war, however, it was
necessary to have brains, and even
religious prejudice had to yield
to the nations call of peril. The
result was that many army Of
ficers received positions which
they otherwise would never have
held. AS an illustration of the
extent which the ir-religionists
had control of French affairs, it
is said that General Pctian, the
hero of Verdun. was never al
lowed to rise above the rank of
a Colonel and was about to be
retired when war was declared.
This is just another example of
the short-sighted policy which
these people carry out.

Minneapolis is known as the

We suppose it is pleasing to the

ceived by man a doctrine that up
sets the teachings of the founders

irrational and deceitful principle
born of prejudice and stepped in
iniquity, that denies the right of
every free-born American citizen
to pay homage to his Creator in
any manner he may desire, but in
our mind it is a disgrace to the

that the dastardly, devilish and

HOW MARTIAL LAW is

Mr.. Patrick McCullagh, The Store

ministered in Ulster, says: Il had

who is supposed to have been a Sim
Feiner and who has gone, understand
to the United States. He was un-
doubtedly a man of rather strong
views, but never interfered with his
views on politics, nor did he interfere
with mine. But in consequence of my
friendship with this gentleman, who is
man of undoubtedly high character,
my premises have been searched time
and again by the Royal Irish Con-
stabulary, the very customers in my
shop have been searched, and if this
treatment is to continue the sooner
give up business the better. l had a

At four o'clock p. m. on May the Sth,,
l had another visit and a further
search. After midnight on the 4th of
June, the premises were again
searched, and on the last occasion the
police returned twenty minutes after
leaving the premises to inform me that
they had lost one of their men. This
man came out of one of the pantries
in MY house, and he had apparently
been left behind as an eavesdropper.
No arms nor ammunition, nor even lit
erature, were seized on my premises,
nor was any person discovered con-
cealed therein. My wife is naturally
In a state of great anxiety about these
visits from the constabulary; my chill
dren have been terrified by armed men
coming into their rooms late at night;
my customers will naturally cease to
come to my premises if they are to be

searched when there and these pro-
ceedings of the police authorities are
naturally calculated to destroy my

\ recent convention of the

resulted in the adoption by the
convention of the following prin-
ciples:
"That the limitation of off

health and the parents income
was not only right but a duty.
That the State should respect and
teach that duty. That birth con-
troll, handled in clean, wise man
ner, would at once cut down pow

ten the first duty of woman. The
