A NOTABLE FREE SHOW
AT THE HOWE 6 STETsoN EM
 FORUM.

Beginning Next Monday and COntinu-
 ing Every Afternoon and Evening for
 Two Weeks.
 A free show will be given at Howe SS stetson's, commencing next Monday, December F, 1904. at 2 p. nn.. and con- tinuing every afternoon and evening for two weeks. The evening show is from 7:30 to g. It is a clean. moral and instructive performance entitled the Girl in the Moon." It is not side show or a museum, but a work of art, something the audience never tires of looking at and which people will go 2 number of times to see. The Girl in the Moon holds the people in dream- land. The performance opens first by introducing two ladies, and while the audience are looking or watching the two ladies they disappear No panels or traps are used. Then in their place immediately appears a beautiful cres- cent and d lady known as the Girl in the Moon." Then again this girl dis appears, leaving the crescent. Then in place of the crescent is introduced a chair with lady seated in the same. Then placing two palm trees, one at each side of the chair, the leaves van- ish from the trees, leaving the stalks. Then the lady leaves the chair, and in place appears beautiful cross with a lady clinging to it. This scene looks like marble statue, which turns to life immediately. Then the lady disap- pears, leaving the cross in plain view. Next the cross disappears. leaving a basket of flowers with both ladies seat ed in the same. These changes are all made without drawing the curtains any time during the performance All these changes are all made in plain view without the use of looking glasses or mirrors, which makes it a very start ling performance to the public. The Girl in the Moon is the first illusion of this kind ever shown to the puglic It is pleasing and also very mystify- ing, and causes a very large amount of talk wherever 1t Is displayed. It is given by Otto Stankye & Co.

Statement by Mir. MeIIen Regarding the Earle tatement-RepIied Simply to Letter Of suggestion.
 President Mellen, of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, yes- terday made astatement relative to the story sent out from Philadelphia con- cerning an alleged deal between the Consolidated railroad and the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company for the purchase of the latter and the state ment follows: .e.... "A party came to me unsolicited and asked me to look into the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company property. suggesting that secure information regarding it's value. As result, and at the request of that party, wrote the following letter to MT. Fowler:

 ford Railroad Company,
 Presidents Office.
 HN
 New Haven, Conn. Nov. 26, 1904. 'sMr. T. F. Fowler, President New York, Ontario and Western Railway, 56 Beaver Street, New York:
 Dear Sir-Mr. Dickinson has talked with me to-day regarding the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company's prop erty. It is matter that is in large measure new to me, and have had no opportunity to confer with my direc- tors regarding the same, but certainly feel it wise you should proceed with the matter to the extent that you can lay before me, for submission to my people, a definite proposition with your recom- mendation in the premises. I am not prepared to express an opinion, for I have had no opportunity to discuss the subject, but certainly believe our peo- pie, with their large interest in your company, will be disposed to favor any thing that will promote it's earnings and prosperity.
 Very truly yours,
 (Signed) 70. s. MELLEN,
 President" The letter shows for itself and com mitted me in no way upon the subject, and was purely a request for informa- tion and a recommendation I was fn- formed on Monday last that the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company's stock could be had at a price which was named and I declined to consider the purchase. The matter did not even ap- peal to me sufficiently to warrant my calling the same to the attention of any of the members of my board of direc- tors. The letter published from Phila- delphia was requested of me by long distance telephone on Monday evening by MT. Riley, of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company, and copy of the same was cheerfully sent. am not aware of any difference of opinion be- tween MT. Fowler and myself in con nection with this matter"
