AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT

Hi Henry who has been in the min

memory Of man runneth not to the con-
trary. with his band and his automobile
attracted people to the Grand Opera
House last night and there entertained
them.
Henry is an old man. quite old hts
hair is white and thin. Time and min
strel worries made it so for he has been
a minstrel ever since the war and has
had his share cf ups and downs Just
now he is having the ups for he walks
not at the head Of his MINISTRIES in pa

can direct his orchestra and singers, all
Of which is quite unnecessary but j.
gives Hi a chance to show his heavily
braided uniform and to wave his nickel
plated baton. The fact is Hi may have
been something Of minstrel once but
probably worked overtime and now has
to rest He played THE Henry-etta

the fact is ne looks more like farmer
a good old honest hard working farmer
than a minstrel man. Just the same his
aggregation gave a good performance
and the musical features were particu
larIy pleasing. The first part was as
gorgeous as any Cleveland or Haveriy
first parts ever dared TO be- There were
ali kinds Of colored electric lights, areE

curtains. The orchestra, with bass
viol cello. harp. oboe and all kinds OF
other reed and stringed Instruments to

orchestra ever heard here They played
music. full of melody and with none If
the "umta" effects known in the Bill NS-s

received applause enough to justify ha'f

Will Meet the De-
ficiency
In the Endowment Rank
Fund
BY Placing an Assessment Upon
Members.

Chicago, July 12.-The Suprem lodge
knights of Pythias, yesterday decided
that the most expedient way of meet.
ing the deficiency of 100000 in the
treasury of the endowment rank is to
raise the insurance rate to the max
imum prescribed by the national fra
ternal congress. If in this way money
shall not be forthcoming it is likely
will be put Oh every member of the
order for the benefit of the endowment
rank. This will speedily raise $3.50.
600.
The board of control will continue
to investigate.
To place itself on record as respon-
sible for all debts of the endowment
rank, the Supreme lodge passed the
following resolution, offered by Charles
a. Barnes, of Illinois,
Resolved, by the Supreme lodge of
the knights of Pythias, that said SUI
preme lodge recognizes not only its
legal but also moral and fraternal
responsibilities to stand behind and
protect every beneficial certificate is
sued by the endowment rank of the
knights of Pythias, and we hereby
pledge to every holder of such GER
tificates all such legislation which may
be needed to protect the holders of
such certificates and produce full and
PROMPT Dayment of all claims due
thereon"

%T'S SERIOUS"
SAYS N. O'NEIL.
Force of Clerks Being Reduced
Steadily by Cupid.

1t is scarcely possible that Cupid has
grudge against the NJ. O'Neil Co.,
and seeks to give it expression by re.
ducing the force of clerks at the store.
but it is certainly apparent to all, that
many clerks have been called away
from behind the counters lately-md
they're not young men clerks, either.
Speaking of this condition Friday
morning, Mr.. O'Neil said to II Demo
crat reporter: IT'S serious, to say the
least. But then, after all, it speaks
well for the popularity and good looks
OF our girls"
The latest triumph of Cupid was the
inducing of Miss Lillian Gren from
behind the counter in the white goods
department. She left few days ago
ION a vacation" according to her an
nouncement to Miss Martha vosburg,,
who is in charge of the department.
1t is not singular for clerks to leave
on a vacation, but they usually return,
and consequently the Incident of Miss
Green's leaving was not made the sub
ject of extraordinary comment at the
time. But, bless you! there was consid-
erable twittering among the clerks
when letter was received by Miss
Vosburg Wednesday morning from her
who was Miss Green, and the sigma
ture read Mrs. Ulay." The girls at
NJ. ONeil & Co.'S store are not Slow
and they knew at once what had hap
pened when Miss Green was privileged
to write her name Mrs. Ulay. Upon
closer scrutiny of the letter. 1t was
found that Miss Green and Rev, Mr..
Ulay, Presbyterian minister of Syra-
cue, n. Y, were married Wednesday,
at high noon, (whatever that means)
at the Forest City House. Cleveland.
1t was also made plain in the letter
that It would be necessary to hire a
new clerk in the white goods depart
ment.
While thc girls were talking to the
reporter, Mr.. John w. Darrnh slipped
over from the spreads and blanket de-
partment and no one being present to
chase him back. managed to say, Put
in the paper also that there are sew
eral more girls in the white goods de-
partment. and all are good looking"
After rejecting for n moment he ad
ded. "And it would be all right to
state, Come early and avoid the rush."

''Is it paid for?' asked Mr.. Houser

The trouble is that the clock is gen

taken belief that the hour the clock
