BALTIMORE. Nd, May 15.-When the
summer opera season began at Harris
Academy of Music the management adver-
tised for chorus girls. Among the first to
apply were two young ladies, who intro
duced themselves to Miss Emma Steiner,
the directress, as Sadie McLaren and Mary
Holden. 1t did not require an extended
trial to demonstrate their musical ability,
and being handsome. as well as talented.
they were promptly engaged.
On the following day the two priests
called at the academy and pleaded with the
manager to canosl the engagement, on the
ground that the young ladies' families were
opposed TO their going on the stage One
of the priests was Father Holden, an uncle
of Miss Holden, and Father McLaren, a
brother Of Miss MoLaren. When the situa-
ton was explained the engagement was an
nulled. The ladies. however, did not take
kindly to the interference. They created
scene when informed that their services
would not be accepted, and threatened to
leave the city and apply elsewhere for an
engagement. Alarmed lest they might
carry out this threat consultation was
held and O compromise was reached.
The academy management was notified
that the young ladies might sing provided
they would not ba required to wear tights.
This proposition was accepted and the COM
tract renewed. They appeared in short
dresses and acquitted themselves admirably.
Miss McLaren did so well that she was
given the part of the page in "Erminie" last
week and made a very pretty boy.
While no open protest was filed by her
relatives against this departure from the
conventional attire. the relatives fear that
tho temptation to assume more difficult roles
may eventually induce the girls to break
the agreement and wear tights. Others in
rienced similar opposition when she first
appeared. Both Misses McLaren and Hol-
den belong to excellent families and are
well educated. They are about IS years Of

II has just been learned that Dr. J. H.
Funk, formerly Of Boyertown, Berks
county, who created considerable Of sem
sation by disappearing about three years
ago, has been located in Florida, where he
was living under the name Of DR.. J. F.
Henry. Among the creditors whom he left
in the lurch was the National Bank of
Boyertown. Recently Mr.. Rhoads received
an intimation that Funk was living in
Bradford county, Florida, wnere
he had fruit farm. Mr..
Rhoads Immediately started for Florida
and found his man living under the name of
Henry. He had an exemplifioation OF the
claim OF the bank with him and immedi-
ately proceeded TO issue an attachment
against Funk's property, which was worth
about $1,000. When Khoads at first con-
fronted the fugitive he denied knowing
him, and for time denied his own identity.
He was formerly large fruit farmer,
being the proprietor Of the Sunnyside fruit
farm, near Boyertown, and was supposed
TO be very prosperous man. when sud-
denly, after confessing judgments to num-
Der Of people, he disappeared with the
money thus raised, leaving his family and
creditors behind.

Efforts of Evangelist HamRsaond-A
Children,s Service Sunday at Ep.
worth m. e. Church.
The evangelistic meetings held by Rev.
Mr.. Hammond at the City mission are in
creasing in interest and are every night
more and more largely attended. Mr..
Hammond has certainly done great deal
of good in his evangelistic meetings all over
the country, and his efforts in this city
are far from being futile. He has strong,
earnest manner, his remarks are all short,
pointed and interesting, and from the
boundless stores of his experience he
draws many apt illustrations and trench
ant arguments.
On Sunday morning the Methodist
church on Edwards street and the mem
bers of the Hope Baptist church will unite
in holding a children's service. Through
out all his stay here Mr.. Hammond will
put forth especial endeavors for the con-
version of the children, and for this he has
a natural aptitude which has been in
creased by many years of hard, earnest
work in this direction.

AN IMMENSE INCREASE,

Wonderful Growth in Our National
Postal Facilities in the Last Three
Years-Striking Facts and Figures.
The extension of our national postal IA
cilities in the last three years is something
remarkable and noteworthy, as the follow
ing facts, showing what has been done in
this line in the last three years, obtained
from our postmaster, Hon. N. D. Sperry,
and gathered by him on his recent visit to
Washington at the recent conference of
leading postmasters, amply attest.
From March 4, 1889, to March 4, 1892,
under Harrison's administration, there
have been 10,549 new postoHices estab-
lished, more than one-sixth of the whole
number of postof6ces in the United States
AS to the matter of revenue, take a COM
parison. In the three years just prior to
the present administration, under Cleve-
land the increase of postal receipts was
1914, 100000. In the three years I'M
der the present administration-same
length of time-the revenue has been in
creased from 1854 900, 900 to $195, 00O, 900
an increase of 20 per cent. In other
words, the 1924, 100000 gained under the
A0'o oohaAhAotA0tlOn was uhluUAlu0o anu
$40, SOC, 900 added to it. Comment is I'M
necessary. The figures speak and tell
the story.
The registration fees were increased in
the last three years by half million dol
lars.
Then comes this striking fact:
In the three years just elapsed the num-
Der of miles travelled with mails increased
exactly 316, 1913 miles, by railroad, steam
boat and star service.
Moreover, there has been added 2, 192
new routes for mail carrying.
The increase In the number of money
order Offices during the past three years Is
1,185-another notable and striking in
Grease
In the present year the number of money
order Offices in the country will probably
be doubled. Our postal service is forging
ahead with such an energetic man as Wan
amaker at its head. The money order sys-
tenn is to be extended to all towns of 5000
inhabitants.
In addition to this, extended and in
creased privileges have been given to the
people Of our land in almost every depart
ment of the service.
Mr.. Wanamaker, thorough business man
as he 10, II making great improvements in
the service and II unstinted in his endesv-
ors to meet the wants of the people. How
we'll he has labored the foregoing striking
figures will plainly show.

Lawn Tennis in the South.

At the second days matches of the Mag
nolia Springs, Fla, lawn tennis tourna-
ment F. g. Beach of New Haven gained
an easy victory over A. E. Wright of New
York. The strokes made by Beach were
accurate and directed upon the side lines.
His service was severe and effective. These
two men were the strongest entered in the
tournament, SO that this result assures
Beach of success in the final. A surprise
of the days tennis was the brilliant and
plucky game put up by ]. w. Nichols, IT,,
Of New Haven, who defeated T. 81. Cooke,
an English player, in three long and excit-
ing sets. Cooke had previously defeated
two of his countrymen, and was strong
candidate for the final.
In the afternoon the doubles were begun
and one round finished. The only i'm.
portant match was between the Beach
brothers and Cooke and Davie. The latter
pair made many brilliant plays, but were
inferior to their opponents in team work.
A close match in the contest for the con-
ISOLATION prize took place late in the after
noon between 81. V. Jones and T. P. Baum
garten. The score:
Singles-Second round: H. G.. Trevor
