Appeals to Your Intelligence.

When all is said there is certainly a
wonderful satisfaction when leaving a
theatre to feel that you have seen some
thing you can recall with delight, to have
seen story developed that has excited
your interest; you have laughed uproari-
ously at fun that happened naturally
and which was not dragged in, in such a
senseless fashion as to be an insult to
your intelligence. Such play is "She
Couldn't Marry Three" The plot is
wholesome; the fun unceasing; the songs
new and catchy; the scenery superb; the
climaxes thrilling, and the company
headed by that piquant little ray of sun
light, Miss Lillian Kennedy, one of the
best on the road.

THE TOWN DISTURBED
Residents of Harleigh Removed
From Company Houses.
THEY ARE OBLIGED TO SIGN NEW
LEASES AND IGNORE THOSE
OF KEMMERER & co.

1t seems to be the policy of the anthra-
cite coal corporations that if ever they
are imposed upon, or drawn into legal
dlificulties of any kind by any of their
lnlqultous competitors, they feel bound
to get even," as the saying goes. This
manner has always been lived up to and
was given an ideal illustration on Mon
day by q. b. Markle d Co., who at pres
ent have libel suit on their hands
brought by NJ. S. Kemmerer & Co.
W hlle the latter company was operating
the Harleigh collieries they leased for
their employees number of dwelling
houses from Markle & Co. at an annual
rental of 900 The Markles now
state that since the stopping of work at
Harlelgh they have not been paid this
yearly sum, and consequently, they have
commenced proceedings against KEN
merer Il Co. to compel them to forfeit
the lease. An interesting legal battle is
expected to be had over this but as the
affair now stands the Markles seem to
be on top.
They had representative at Wilkes
Barre on Monday and at the opening of
the Prothonotary's office presented an
order directing writ of eiectment to be
issued against Kemmerer & Co. They
secured the necessary document and it
was at once given to Sheriff Robinson.
One of the latters deputies arrived at
Harlelgh In the afternoon an ousted all
occupants of Markle & Co.'s houses under
lease from Kemmer. The residents were
not long dispossessed, however, when
they were permitted to go back to their
homes by signing new leases under the
lawful owners. 1t will not be surprising
II another counter-suit is brought by
kemmerer & Co., through some techni-
cality in this proceeding.

The Handkerchief in France.

Lace was used to ornament handker-
chiefs in France as early as 1854. In
ISIS they were embroidered and had tas-
sells at each of the four corners. In the
time Of the Directory, that period Of
fashionable eccentricity, they underwent
many vagaries. Those ladies who did
not ere to wear the pocket attached to
the girtile and wished to have the hands
at liberty tucked the fan into the belt,
sli;l tie purse into the cOrsage and had
the handkerchief carried by Il gallant,
to whom it was necessary to apply when
it happened to be needed. If the hand
Eerchief carrier could not be found, or
was insidiously flirting with another wo-
man. and the nose imperatively demand
ed flowing, the case was serious
When the French blow the nose, it
skoGld be remembered, it is for all it is
worth. No one who has not witnessed
the performance could ever believe the
nasal l:,l5sages possessed of such a sonor-
ous quality, and when the effort is sew
eral times repeated one might easily i'm
agine himself listening to the Angel
Gabriel rehearsing for the last Judgment
The French fashion in this respect is not
to be recklessly initiated like Paris styles
in laces, silks and satins, fans, dresses,
bonnets and other things pertaining to
female attire.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Records of great earthquakes fill a
large space in the worlds history, and
instances where people have perished by
thousands from this cause are mourn
fully numerous. An earthquake accom-
panied by volcanic eruption destroyed
the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum
and buried most of their inhabitants in
the ruins in the year 70, A. D. The en-
tire world was shaken from pinnacle to
foundation stone in the year 543. In 557
Constantinople suffered terribly from an
earthquake, which killed thousands Of
its inhabitants. In 742 an awful shock
visited China, India, Persia and Palestine,
killing hundreds of thousands of human
beings, besides beasts beyond calculation.
N 1853, 10000 person perished from an
earthquake shock in Syria alone; in 1868,
go, 600 We're killed or buried alive in
Cilicia. In 1855, 10000 were killed in
Naples. In 1881 Lisbon, Portugal. had
her first great shock-that which killed
30,0Go people. In 1926 Naples was again
visited and had 10000 of her people taken
away by the earthquake demon. The
next year the Schamaki was constantly
rocked by earthquakes for three months,
during which time $4,000 persons were
killed.-St. Louis Republic.

Eggs of Crabs and LObsters.

Crabs and Holsters are hatched from
eggs, resembling upon birth nothing so
much as the animalcule shown by the
microscope in a drop of ditch water.
They are as unlike the shellfish they are
to become in mature life as grub is un-
like a butterfly. In the case of the crab
the egg clusters are attached beneath
the animal after extrusion, while with
the lobster they become fastened to the
tail, which, by its tanning motion, in
creases the stream of oxygenated air

COLOR LINE IN BALTIMORE.



The Ministerial Union of Baltimore held its
quarterly meeting yesterday. in Baltimore
Rev, DIR. Thomas Flyers, secretary of the Mary
hnd Bible Society, presided Row. Samuel Nc
Lanahan, secretary. Rev. Edward Lawrence of
the First Congregational Church reported from
the committee appointed to examine into the
question whether the union had the right
under its constitution to consider such matters
as were offered in resolution presented by
Rev. W. T. d. Clemn against the action of the
Maryland University Law School in excluding
two colored mon from attendance at the lee
lures. The report of the committee was to the
effect that such matters came within legitimate
scope OF the union. The report was adopted.
Rev. DIR. GLENN said he rcjoiced that the
colored man had been indicated. He in
tended. he said, to aSitate the matter until the
coiored man had his rights at the Maryland
Law School. He had consulted eminent law
yers and he had learned from them that the
law school, by excluding the colored man, was
violating the Constitution and thereby forfeit
ing its charter. Colorcd men were allowed to
SIT In Congress, in church conferences and in
other places. and it was sheer nonsense for a
law school to shut its doors in their faces be-
cause of the objection made to their company
by few dudes from the south.
Rev. w. NJ. Alexander of the Baptist church
colored, thanked the committee for the repor.
presented, stating that it would be an encour-
agement to the eolorcd man, and that it would
serve notice on those who were inclined to
withhold the colored mans rights that he had
powerful and influential friends.
