THE FRISKY MRS JOHNSON"

Tomorrow afternoon at Poli's there will be souvenir matinee per formance of ''The Frisky Mrs John- son" and photographs of Jere Sam ford, one of the really popular mem- Der of the summer stock company, will be distributed to the ladies. MT Sanford is the singer of illustrated songs and also a character comedian of exceptional talent. His songs have been one of the delightful features of the company's offerings and music lovers can thank him for introducing them to the very latest successes on the market. His work as a comedian has been confined to one or two roles, but he has acquitted himself with distinction and effectiveness in hand ling small parts. Last week his char terization of John Paden, ST, in Friends" was the laughing hit of the play. Next week the company will produce When We Were Twenty one," the play which was presented at Poli's six times in one season to capacity business each time. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents; ladies 10 cents. Souvenirs every Friday.

ACCUSE WESTINGHOUSE.

Electric Company Magnate Called
 Down at Sensational Meeting.
 PITTSBURG, July 26.-At sensa- tional meeting of the stockholders of the Westinghouse Electric and Manu- featuring company George Nesting house, president of the conpany, was Bitterly assailed, and he was charged openly by stockholders with launching private ventures with the company's funds. The directors were charged with aiding him in this, but after a bitter squabble the slated board of directors were elected and the official coterie won out.
 James Carrothers, one of the minor ity stockholders, led the opponents of Mir. Westinghouse. The incident grew out of the report of the company. Mir. Carrothers called attention to the as- sets, in which was stocks and bonds of the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley Rapid Transit company = $6,300 OO0 Mir. Carrothers wanted to know how much was stock and how much bonds.
 There was hot discussion, and il developed that the capital stock of the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley Rapid Transit company is $8,000,00C and that the road cost about $6,000 000 No one was sure that these figures were correct. and there was more or less con. fusion.

LEARN TO SWIM.

Death is reaping rich harvest this summer on lake and bay and river. The papers in all parts of the country are filled with reports of fatal boating accidents. The fool who rocks the boat and the careless canoeist have been much in evidence. A number of unfortunate accidents have occurred in this city, and in order to minimize the danger of ca noeing on the upper river 1t is sug- gested that the park authorities com pei canoeists to carry life preseryers. Unquestionably this would be the means of saving life, but unfortunate ilrsthe same mandate would not be obligatory on all streams. As a matter of fact there is only one re- liable safeguard, and that is the abil- ity to keep ones self af1oat. The landsman ought to know how to swim for the exceptional occasion when he may be put in. danger of losing his life. If he contemplates sailing or canoeing then he Is guilty of almost criminal carelessness If he does not prepare himself for acci- dents. All WdttT epOitc haNS thSh
 attendant risks, and the only way to reduce these risks to minimum is to learn how to swim.
