MUSIC AND DRAMA

The standing room sign was displayed
at the Crawford last night before s
O'Clock, the attraction being the Lawrence
Holmes company in the 'Smugler,"
sensational drama of the melo-dramatic
order, with a strong plot well brought
out. There is sufficient comedy running
through the piece to offset the more SOM
bre scenes and keep the audience in
mirthful mood throughout the perform
ance. The cast was evenly balanced and
showed considerable talent in the COM
pany. Lawrence Holmes as Bill Hicks
held the closest attention of the audience
by his clever work in a difficult and I'M
sympathetic role. proving himself to be
an able actor. Gus Conan. the German
comedian. could not improve on the char
acter he played-that of Conrad Gels
meyer" a happy-go-lucky Dutchman. He
won the house at the start and made him
self popular with everyone. His special
ties were good, especially his dancing,
being a strong feature. Frank Spellman

The members of the 4. o. u. w. at this

order here, as it is believed by most
members that the principal is wrong, as
by changing now changes can be made
at every meeting of the grand lodge. The
change will surely boom other insurance

A PECULIAR FACT
Thousands of People Have Dyspepsia
in Its Worst Form and DO Not
Know IT.

weak stomach is the cause of about
nine-tenths Of all disease, yet in most
cases the wrong thing is treated and the
true cause overlooked.
This is because a weak digestion pro-
duces symptoms resembling nearly every
disease because it weakens and disturbs
the action of every nerve and organ in the
body: poor digestion causes heart trouble,
kidney troubles, lung weakness and es-
pecialy nervous break down or nervous
prostration. the nerves cannot stand the
wear and tear unless generously fed by
well digested. wholesome food.
Keep the digestion good and no one need
fear the approach of disease.

TRIBUTE TO SINGERLY
Philadelphia HOnOrs the Memory OF
the Late Publisher.

Philadelphia, March 2-The tribute OF
respect paid 10 the memory of William NJ.
Singerly today was most remarkable. The
funeral of the late publisher and editor
took place from his residence late this
afternoon.
The interment was at Laurel Hill ceme-
terry, to which place a long line Of carri-
ages followed the remains. The list OF
honorary pall-bearers numbered about
thirty, and included the governor Of the
state. the mayor of the city. judges Of the
courts, publishers editors and merchants.
The Record Will announce tomorrow
that one of the last acts of Mr.. Singerly's
life was to bring about such reorganiza-
ton OF the ownership OF that newspaper
as would divert all its profits TO equita-
BILE distribution among the 400 creditors
affected by the collapse Of the Chestnut
National bank and the Chestnut Street
Trust and Savings Fund company. There
will be no change in the ownership or per
sonnet of the paper. and every energy OF
the establishment will be devoted TO full
filling Mr.. SinRerly's intention that his
newspaper should pay his debts.
