GETTYsBURG. Nov. 18th.

The play that will be seen at the
Park Theatre is one of the present sea-
sons successes. The story of the play is
told in an intelligent manner, and the
scenes and situations possess marked
strength. Special Scenery is carried by
the Company in order to produce the
play in a proper manner, every scene
shown on the bill board and in the win
dows will be faithfully presented. the
play has received the highest praise
from press and public wherever it has
appeared, and it will no doubt duplicate
its former success in our city.

dows will be faithfully presented, the
play has received the highest praise
from press and public wherever it has
appeared, and it will no doubt duplicate
its former success in our city.
Quo VADIs-Nov. 21st
The cleanest and most moral play ever
written and triumph of untarnished
art is what is claimed for "QUO VADIS'
which is to be presented here on We'd
nesday Nov. 21st by the Carpenter Dra-
matte Company The play appeals
strongly in setting forth graphic pic
ture of the period when the Roman EN-
pire under Nero was at its best. The
incidents of the book are vividly brought
out in the drama showing the desperate
struggles of the Christians against the
despot and his court. The scenes, con-
sisting of eleven stage sets are striking
and beautiful. The flight of the EN-
peror and the burning of Rome is an i'm
pressiye stage picture The burning of
the Christians is also scene that stirs
the audience TO the highest pitch of en-
thusiam. The singing of the Christians
and the prayer and benedictions of the
Apostle Peter are solemn and effective,
while the original music adds much to
its success.
'Quo Vadis" as play has the honor
of breaking all records as to receipts and
attendance in Chicago, New York and
Philadelphia. The company is a strong
one and the scenic effect elaborate and
of the best.
THE PARIS EXPosITIoN-Nov. 22nd
The Moving Pictures that will be pre-
sented here in the Park Theatre on the
evening of Nov. 22nd under the auspices
of First Presbyterian Church, will be
given by Mr. Lyman II. Howe's own
company. Mr.. Howe made special
trip to Europe to secure Moving Pictures
of the Paris Exposition and Judging
from his past success in the moving pic
ture world, it is foregone conclusion
that the programe will be the best that
money and experience can procure.
This exhibition is without doubt the
most satisfactory and elaborate in
America to. day.

statements recently made in reference to
the Wharton claim, Camp Mckinney, are
scarcely fair to the Camp Mckinney

capitalization of 100000 shares, 100000 of
which constitute the treasury fund. All
operations to date have been carried on
without selling a single share of treas

addition to this there are funds still in
