"A MATCHMAKER's MISTAKE"
Is the name of the farce comedy which will
be seen at Ferguson's theatre, Tuesday even
ing, October "a. 1t deals with the ambitions
of love, society and politics that prevail in
the great metropolis and is presented in three
acts with series of funny incidents and
complications that keep the audience in a
continual roar. The most peculiar of the
types that go to make up the cosmopolitan
character of great city are presented and
their very eccentricities are most amusing.
The latest thing in dancing and the newest
thing in fashion are shown and captivate the
senses. The singers are first class, notable
among whom are Miss Maud Myring, well
known here from her last appearance season
in The Bells of Seandon" by the author, Mr.
John j. McGinniss, and a tenor Mr. Barry
Redmond, who will star next season in new
play written for him, The Bard of Armagh %
This is said to be one Of the best attractions
on the road.

years ago and still has some friends in

AN occasion like Chadwick day
means vast amount of work for some
one. Such events require great deal
of forethought, much careful planning
and rare executive ability to carry
them to success. Comparatively few
people realize the magnitude of the
undertaking. Besides this large
sum of money is also required. Every
one here has entered into the spirit OF
the occasion with commendable zeal
and no part of the necessary work has
been overlooked. All our people are
pleased to have the opportunity to
participate.

was in the wrong place after the evil
dence that had been brought against
him had been aired. People who have
relatives unfortunate enough to be
confined in the asylum will now
breathe easier.
AMONG the naval officers honored
by local demonstrations, none is more
deserving of the tribute than is Capt

tation to him of sword, the gift of
the citizens of West Virginia. The
ceremony will occur on October 10th at
Morgantown. a parade will be fea-
ture and Governor A tkinson will make
the address. 1t is fitting, also, that
Rear Admiral Sampson will be
present on that occasion. Captain

OF men allowed the army was not again
changed until 1921, when it was re-
duced to 5000, and at that point it re-
manned until the breaking out of the
war with Mexico, when ten additional
regiments were authorized and the
army recruited to 24,033. At the close
of this conflict it was again reduced
to 1905, and on March 5, 1855, numbered
