GREAT SHOW THIS WEEK.
Manager Davis Offers a Fine Per.
tormnncc 10 His patrOus

Little Boy Blue is the bill at Davis
theater this week, and it Is not saying
too much to state that it is one of the
best bills that the house has presented.
1t is a Dantomine with pauses at ap-
propriate intervals for specialties.
Harry Thorne is the clown and Matt
Mccormick essays the roll of panta-
loon.
Among the scenes presented are
"Moonlit Abbey" Farm of Plenty"
Police Station and Shoe Shop" The
ely" Baker Shop and Fire Works
Store" Abode of Darkness" and THE
Grotto of Happiness" In each scene
there is a different specially introduced
by such famous purveyors of fun and
bewilderment as Dick Leggett. change
artist and vocalist; Alice Jennings,
Eddie O'Brien and little Anna Mabel
O'i;rien, i'm songs, dances and a novel
sparring exhibition; Maria Wynne,
songs and clog dances: the three Renos,
contortionists and knockabout come
dians, and Levine and Booth, equili-
brists.
The feature of the entertainment is
the snarring of Alice Jennings. She is
a clever boxer and manages to make
things quite lively for her sparring
partner, Eddie O'Brien, who is an old
boxing instructor. They gave three
round bout without any more hippo
droming than is seen in the average
sparring match on the stage. The way
Miss Jennings handles her dukes
would cause the ordinary lightweight to
hesitate about facing her with the
mitts. O'Brien is also an exceedingly
clever sparrer and during his stay Of
fers $50 to any man who can be induced
to stand up for a four round go.

ELMHURST TANNERY BURNED.
II Is No Great Loss, as 1t Was Not
Being Used.

Fire broke out in the Elmhurst tan
merry at 10 o'clock last night and in
two hours time it was reduced to ashes.
The building belonged to the Scranton
Gas and Water company, the tannery
having been purchased by it recently.
with the intention of demolishing it as
the board of health complained that 1t
was polluting the Roaring Brook. The
machinery had all been removed by the
previous owners, the Union Tannery
company. The loss therefore is tritling
The building was situated on the
Roaring Brook. opposite the old Dun
ming homestead and was very old
structure. 1t was 125 feet long and
fifty feet wide. and on the south were
open sheds extending nearly seventy
five feet farther. Owing to the fact
that the building was unOccupied the
flames We're not discovered until they
broke through the roof and as there are
no modern facilities for fighting fire
at E,lmhurst. the populace could do
nothing but stand around and bemoan
the destruction of the villages old

Tho cause of the fire Is unknown but
it is supposed that tramps, who possibly
sought shelter there. are responsible for
the blaze.

The snow fall of yesterday and last
evening was hailed with pleasure by
young and old. Christmas without
snow makes the heart sad. There was
not enough of 1t to make sleighing
possible, except ON the asphalted
streets, but the jingle of bells was
heard on these thoroughfares last
evening.

To the railroad men the snow and

UNIQUE CHRISTMAS DISPLAY.
1t Can BE Seen at Alex. Dunn's Hat
store.

There is no Christmas display in the
city, probably which attracts more at
tention than that of Alex. Dunn, the
halter. Alongside of his store is a plat
form on which a real live Santa Claus
is seated in real sleigh to which a
reindeer is attached.
There is no time from early morning
until late at night when crowd Is
not discernable around the jolly-faced
old fellow. Scores of children each day
crawl up on the platform occupied by
Santa Claus to whisper in his willing
ear the gifts they most desire for
Christmas.

SUPREME COUNCIL OF THEA. PA.
Routine Business Behind Closed Doors
Began Yesterday.

Washington, May 13.-T'he Supreme
Council of the A. P. A. began it's rou-
time business to-day behind closed
doors. 1t has been decided to hold on
Iy one session of the day and to de-
vote the afternoon to committee work.
To-day's session was consumed in the
reading of reports by the officers.
President Iraynor read his annual adj
dress and the reports OF Supreme
Secretary c. 7. Beatty, of Chicago,
and Supreme Treasurer i. G.. Campbell,
of Minneapolis, were also read. Each
report was referred to a special com
mittee, and no publicity given their
contents until the committees have
passed upon them and decided what
part of the reports are suitable for gem
eraE consumption, and what should be
kept secret.
The question of sustaining the adj
yfsOry board which blackEsted McKin-
ley, arouses more interest than any
other question connected with the
council. Many of the delegates wear Nc
Kinley buttons, and buttons bearing
the likeness OF Congressman Linton,
of Michigan, are worn by many dele
gates.
A new and apparently strong can
didate for the Supreme Presidency of
the A. Z. A. has appeared ON the scene
i'm the person of j. w. Echols, an At
lbnta, Ga, lawyer.
Baltimore and Atlanta are the two
cities i'm the field endeavoring to secure
the next convention of the A. Z. A.
The secretary's report showed a great
growth of the order during the past
year. 1t stated that 063 charters for
new councils have been issued during
tine past year; that the voting strength
of the order has been doubled and that
the order is now planted in every State
end Territory. The treasurer's report
showed a satisfactory financial con-
dition, and was approved by the audit
ing committee.
Several resolutions were introduced
relating to questions before Congress.
Among them were resolutions calling
for more stringent immigration laws;
for complete separation Of church and
State, and for the removal of the stat
ne Of Father Marquett from the Capt.
toll.
