GREATEST OF ALL PICTURE SHOWS
Actual Scenes in San Francisco to be given
here in a short time

Actual Scenes in San Francisco to be given
here in short time
On Saturday May 26, at the Opera
House in MiddIetown will be shown the
genuine pictures of the San Francisco
Disaster taken by Miles Bros. the only
concern which had plant in the stricken
city at the time of the catastrophe. These
are the most wonderful moving pictures
ever taken and they were at risk Of life
and limb. The city is shown both before
and afterthe earthquake and the pictures
also show the relief work, the guarding
OF the mint, the dynamiting Of large
buildings, the fire itself and the citysas it
now appears. How the city has partly
recovered from the great misfortune
which overlook it is shown plainly. In
order to avoid intermissions of long
duration and to relieve the strain OF pic
lures for 30 long few comic films are al
SO introduc ed. A capable lecturer points
out the interesting features as the
pictures are shown. This is duplicate
Of the show which appeared in Philadel.
phia at the Chestnut Street Opera House
and in all of the large cities of the east
and the exclusive right to show the bic
tures in the South was secured by Hum
phries & Price who are the owners OF the
show to appear here. As matter Of
fact this is the original show as it was
upon the road three days in advance Of
those which opened in New York, At
Iantic City and other large cities. This
is one of tile few of the smaller cities
which will have an opportunity Of seeing
these wonderful pictures. There are no
others like them and the house should be
crowded.
This city is fortunate in securing this
show for as matter of fact it costs more
TO run it, on account OF heavy royalty on
the pictures, than to run an ordinary.
dramatic company. The equipment has to
be first class. Others may claim to have.
moving pictures showing San Francisco
Earthquake scenes but as matter OF fact
Miles Bros. were the only ones who had
plant In the stricken city and the only
ones to produce genuine pictures. Tie
management guarantees tile pictures
were taken on the spot and that no
such picture show was ever offered here
before.

OBITUARY
CAPT. ANDREW wooDALL

Capt. Andrew WoodaIl, the largest land
owner in Maryland, died at three O'Clock
on Saturday morning at his home at
Georgetown, Kent County, Md. Capt
Woodall recently passed his eighty-sev-
enth milestone, since which time he has
been in failing health and his death was
not unexpected.
Capt. Woodall was a son of the late
Simon Woodall, of Kent County, and
began lis career as boatsman sixty-five
years ago, carrying freight back and forth
between his county and Baltimore. A
man of keen Judgment and sterling integ-
rity, he made success of the undertak-
ing, which developed rapidly into large
business and he was soon the owner of
several sail vessels. These were gradu-
ally replaced by steamers, and later by
gasoline barges.
In connection with the freight trade
Capt. Woodall soon established ware
house business at Georgetown, and also
invested largely in farms, so that at the
time of his death he was the owner of 49,
600 acres of the finest land in Kent and
Cecil Counties.
Early in life Capt. WoodaIl married
Miss Catharine Holt, sister of the late
Capt. Washington Holt. Mrs. WoodaH
died about ten years ago. They are sur
viyed by five children-James E. Wood
all, Mrs. ]. Fletcher Wilson and Mrs.
Richard Lockwood, of Miss J. NJ. Wood
all Georgetown, and A. W. WoodalI, of,
Baltimore.
The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon,
with interment at Georgetown.

Darkness was closing over the field
when the players lined up for the
kickoff. When it came to place the
ball, 1t was found that the all-impor-
tant pigs4tin was missing. Massillon
people claimed that Canton fans had
stolen it and vica versa. After sew
eral minutes of waiting ball was
found and Maxwell kicked off. 1t
was so dark that the players could
hardly be discerned. Some Canton
player, disguised in the darkness re-
ceived the ball near the goal posts
and started forward. Here the game
was called. Time 445.
The spectators left the grounds, one
tumultous group of hilarity-with
the exception of the Massillon contin-
gent who wended their sorrowful way,
hoping that another week would
seem change in the Tigers luck.
