AH Sorts of Hoodoos are Defied
by Jolly Thirteen Club
Two tables of 13 guests each were
filled at the annual banauet of the
superstition-defying Thirteen Club at
T -aHmnnn 'a shnrp 'tlO'ISC last evening'.
Everything: that could conveniently be
arranged to show disdain for the pop
ular hoodoos was in evidence, with
open umbrellas. 13 rung ladders, skulls
with 13 lighted candles, broken mir
rors, and many other things that are
generally supposed to presage disas
ter. Among the visiting guests were:
Hon. P. H. Spader. H". G. Gedney and
O. C. Lyon, president of the Mamaro
nack Savings Bank: R. H. Orr and S.
Y. St. John of Stamford; Hon. John
W. Allen; TV. E. Hines, William Doh
renwend and Mr. Macauley of New
Britain; IX W. Hollis and Robert
Porteous of Hartford; M. A Durr
schmidt, Clifford Merwin, and Robert
Chat field of Derby, 13 miles away; A.
J. Simmons, general passenger agent
of the Lehigh Valley railroad, of New
York; G. A. Sanford of New Haven,
and D, K. Allen of Greenwich, chief
of the ftre department.
The banauet was one of the most
successful in the history of the club,
which was organized in New York,
Jan. 13, 1886, under- a charter granted
by the original Thirteen Club of New
York city. There were 13 courses.
One of the most significant happenings
of the evening was the death of one
of the skull socketed candles. The
guest to whom this candle was as
signed regarded it as a huge joke, but
none will tell who it was for fear of
spreading alarm among more supersti
tious companions.
Several of the charter members of
the club were present at the dinner,
including the chief ruler. T. B. Beech
er, and Charles W. Fox.
Horace H. Jackson was the vice
ruler of the second thirteen and Hon.
P. H- Spader. "Mayor of Mamaroneck",
was the vice ruler of the "left over"
table.

JUVENILE DELINQUENTS
VICTIMS OF RAD TEETH
SAYS HYGIENIC DOCTOR
(Special from United Press.)
New York, May 14. That a great
percentage of Juvenile delinquents are
victims of bad teeth rather than en
vironment was the declaration of Dr.
George W. Coley of Chester, at the
session of the Dental Hygienic Con
gress now in session in this city.
"Seventy per cent, of all children
enter school as incompetents," he de
clared, "and the statement applies not
only to children of the poorer classes
but to all. They are incompetents
because their parents were not train
ed to care for their teeth.
"Bad teeth cause bad stomachs.
The body becomes filled with bac
teria, disease and infection follows."
The congress will appoint a general
committee to secure municipal co
operation through the United States
in making dental science part of city
government.

SCH00LD0Y SWALLOWED
PIN, NEARLY BROKE UP
SESSIONJFOR THE DAY
Willie Conlin a Wheeler school boy
living in Madison avenue nearly broke
up the school yesterday afternoon by
swallowing a pin during the physical
exercises. The youngster thought his
end had come when taking a deep
breath he inhaled the pin and it
lodged in his throat. Dr. Gordon Lev
erty was called by the school princi
pal. He took the boy in his carriage
to Dr. Smythe's office where the pin
was fished out without much trouble.
The scholars refused to be consoled
for what they expected was Willie's
sure death until a bulletin was re
ceived from rr. Smythe's that the pa
tient would live.
NEWTOWN.
Miss Agnes Leavy, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas Leavy of Walnut
Tree Hill was tendered a surprise in
honor of her 12th birthday last Wed
nesday evening, 30 guests being pres
ent. The young lady seemed quite
equal to the occasion and greeted
each guest cordially. The evening
was delightfully passed in the enjoy
ment of piano, and mandolin selec
tions, vocal chorus and games. Deli
cious lemonade and a variety of cake,
sweets and ice cream were served.
The young hostess was very nicely re
membered with many pretty tokens of
esteem. The table in the dining room
was tastefully arranged with the
regulation birthday cake containing
12 candles in the center. Lavender
and white lilacs were used in the de
corations which were pretty.
The 13 social held under the aus
pices of the Girls' Athletic associa
tion of the Newtown High School,
Friday evening was a very fine suc
cess and exceeded all expections of
the young people who had worked
faithfully and well, and who must
feel duly compensated for their ef
forts. The 13 booths prettily deco
rated with flowers, the trimming of
the hall and platform all presented a
neat appearance. On the stage was
arranged a large frame in which ap
peared the 13 sweethearts each of the
bride and groom, the latter begin im
personated by Herman N. Tiemann,
Jr., and Miss Lillian Beers, the latter
being charming in her gown of white
with bridal veil and bouquet. In the

piano and rendered all the selections
of old and new music relative to each
picture presented in a capable and
creditable manner. The different cos
tumes were fine, all quite in fitting
with each picture. Some of the char
acters were greeted with great ap
plause, and in the grand march fol
lowing the program many words of
admiration were heard for the little
school girl and school boy who seem
ed to be quite unconscious of their
popularity. Altogether the evening
was most enjoyable for all and a great
success financially.

BRIDGEPORT GOLFER
DEFEATS WORLD'S CHAMPION
S. D. Bowers Plays Best Golf of
His Career.
New York, May 14. There was the
dickens to pay in the first round for
the chief cup in the annual golf
tournament at Fox Hills yesterday.
Jerome D. Travers, young G. W.
White and A. F. Kammer, the Staten
Island champion, were metaphorical
ly swept off the face of the globe or
otherwise relegated to the beaten
eight set. In the case of Jerome
Travers it was the veteran "Spotty"
Bowers, up to his old tricks again,
for few golfers of today remember
the time when he unexpectedly elimi
nated the late Girlwood Stewart at
Seabright and upset calculations at
Baltusrol by defeating Findley S.
Douglas on the latter's first appear
ance in this country. G. W. White
was effaced by G. G. Baxter, un
known except to his club mates aU
the public links at Forest .Park,
Brooklyn, while A. F. Kammer, from
whom the Fox Hills contingent ex
pected doughty deeds, receiced a
crushing defeat at the hand of Louis
A. Hamilton, the Englewood war
horse.
All these victories, or defeats, which
ever way one regards the situation
were the result of tip top golf. S. D.
Bowers lost his balance completely
on the homeward journey by polish
ing it off in 35, and at that only beat
the Montclair champion one up. The
latter won the first three holes, and
naturally became over confident. As
a result he was but one up at the
turn, where he was 39.
Coming back Mr. Travers won the
eleventh in a perfect four and was
two up. After this, however, the
veteran from Bridgeport was seized
with an extraordinary spasm, its first
symptoms were disclosed at the
twelfth hole, where he holed out from
off the green in two. Then, after
winning the long thirteenth by his op
ponent's indifferent play, he ran down
a long put at the- fourteenth for three,
and became one up. He supplement
ed this by stealing half at the fif
teenth, in holing from off the green,
pnd the climax came at the short six
teenth, where Mr. Travers missed a
four foct put for a half in three. Mr.
Bowers was now dormie, playing the
seventeenth, which Mr. Travers won,
by running down a pretty fifteen foot
putt for three. At the home hole the
Montclair man still had a fighting
chance, as he had a five spot putt for
the hole, which he missed.

(Special from United Press.)
Brighton Motordrome, N. Y., May

other seriously injured, the dirt track
on which the 24 hour automobile race

more fatal accidents were feared.

wheel of the Buick, escaped injury
in the accident.
In the thirteenth hour of the race

SOMETHING ABOUT
GIRLS, OPENING
DRAMA AT POLI'S
Manager Poli will inaugurate the
summer season of stock productions
at Poli's. Monday next, when the Poli
Stock Company will make its bow to
the theatre-going public of this city
and suburbs.
Greater and grander than ever the
company Is promised to be for the
coming season and the return of many
of the favorites, headed by Alice Flem
ing and John E. Ince. with a most ca
pable supporting company, augurs well
for the rare dramatic treat in store
of the playgoing public. By means of
a voting contest the patrons of Poli's
have selected the Clyde Fitch comedy
"Girls" for the opening production,
and it will be presented on a scale of
magnificence not excelled by the orig
inal company which ran for two years
at Daly's Theatre. New York.
"Girls" is the Clyde Fitch comedy
originally produced at Daly's Theatre.
New York city, where its novelty of
theme and brilliancy of dialogue caus
ed the Manhattan critics to unani
mously hail it as the brightest work
ever offered by the famius playwright.
It scored a very decided triumph with
th public, and ran an entire season
to enormous business and were revived
the following year for another run
with no diminution of interest. The
Messrs. Shubert, through special ar
rangement with whom Manager Poli
will produce the play, have now four
companies on tour with it, playing to
splendid business in the South and
West.
The first scene of the play shows a
studio occupied by three bachelor
girls, who have vowed eternal hatred
of useless man. The leader of the
trio, Pamela Gordon, is a stenog
rapher; the youngest, Violet Lands
dow.ne, is an illustrator, and also does
typewriting for a living; and the third,
Kate West, is a free lance writer with
aspirations for the stage. They owe
for rent of their apartment and have
borrowed fifteen dollars from their air
shaft neighbor. Lucille Purcelle, an
elocutionist. The janitor is inclined
to drink and disrespect, the steam
pipes are typical of flats, and they
have a near neighbor who is taking
vocal lessons. The studio is furnished
with one bed. a couch and a Morris
chair, decidedly uncomfortable.
Pamela has been unsuccessful in
finding a position, Kate has had a
promise of a trial at acting, an Violet
is enjoying several days of indolence.
Shortly after the play begins Pamela
has a discussion with the janitor and
comes out second best. The postman
brings a letter to Pamela with the
offer of a position with Sprague &
Holt, leading attorneys, and he is pro
nounced a welcome visitor. The girls
prepare for bed and are in the midst
of a dispute as to whose turn it is
to occupy the 'Morris chair when the
door bursts open and a "man" enters.
He has been having dinner with a
married woman whose elderly hus
band returns unexpectedly. Pamela
orders him to leave and he is finally
induced to crawl into the window
across the air shaft by means of a
board provided by Pamela.
The girls then do the famous disrob
ing scene, quiet their nerves and tuck
themselves into bed.
The second act takes place in the
office of Sprague & Holt and finds
Pamela as a stenographer and Violet
as her assistant. Being unable to
impress the senior partner. Sprague,
with the dignity of her position, Pa
mela resigns in the middle of the fore
noon just as the junior partner re
turns. He proves to be the man of
the night before episode and is already
in love with Pamela. Mrs. Dennett,
young and silly, calls to start divorce
proceedings against her husband and
Mr. Dennett, old and unusually silly,
calls for a like puroose. Their meet
ing and Violet's too liberal taking of
dictation leads to the discharge of the
duo with two weeks' salary due.
The last act of course rights matters
and there is a happy ending. Miss
Fleming will play the role of "Pamela
Gordon", who with the slight excep
tion of foolishly hating man is a tpyis
ally bright American girl, and Mr.
Ince will play the role of Edgar Holt,
the junior partner, whose skillful
courtship finally wins the girl of her
choice. The young typewriter, Violet
Lansdowne. will be played by Mar
garet Lawrence, the new ingenue of
the company, and Caroline Locke is
idealy cast in the role of Kate West.
Mr. Daly will play the woman hating
Frank Loot, and the other roles are in
most capable hands. It need not be
added that Stage Director Meldon will
give the play that attention to detail
in everything for which he is noted.
Seats for the entire week are now on
sale.
To economize floor space some Ger
man manufacturers are turning out
high speed engines mounted on top
of horizontal boilers.
