THE TALKING PICTURE
 AT MARVEL THEATRE
Draws Large Crowds-NeWest Thing In Motion Picture Business-OnIy
 One Outside of New York.

You don't want to m.ss the talking pie ture at the Marvel theatre commencing this week The talking picture is the newest thing in the moving picture busl- ness. It has been in use only a few weeks and has never before been seen outside of New York. MT. Hamrick, with his accustomed alertness, secure a ma chine for the Marvel theatre. Mir. Ham, rick is also the exclusive agent for sey- eral southern states, and cordially in- vites every one interested in the nov ing picture business to inspect the work ings of the talking picture machine.
 The inventor of this machine is Mir. J. A. Whitman of New York city. He spent about two years experimenting, also a young fortune along with his experi- ments. MT. Whitman is a young man of broad views and is considered among one of New York's brightest inventors He is president of the National Cameraphone company and his invention is sure to revolutionize the motion picture business.
 Mir. Cole, one of the best operators, is with these machines at the Marvel. He is from MT. Whitman's factory in New York. We consider him one of the best in the business.
 The subjects will be changed every other day. It is impossible to give a change every day, as it takes much time to make these films. The Marvel quar- tette has gone to one of their places al Knoxville for awhile.

The Scramble for Gold.

From the New Orleans Ficayune.
 Notwithstanding the fact that over $400,000, ,000 of gold was taken from the earth last year., the sudden de- mand from the United States for less than $50, ,000, 900 from Europes supply of the yellow metal has been sufficient to force the discount rate of the Bank of England to the highest figure known since the panic of 1873, and the Bank of France to figure not experienced since the Franco-Prussian war. This unwillingness to part with supplies of gold when the amount of it in the world is undoubtedly greater than ever before indicates clearly the expansion of the worlds trade and financial op- erations.
 As everybody knows full well dol lar of actual gold value will pay many dollars of debts, hence a certain gen. eral stock of gold offers the basis of credit for an enormous volume of com- merce. At the same time there is a limit beyond which expansion is not permissible. As the worlds supply of gold has increased enormously in re- cent years, there has been ample war rant for a very considerable expansion in the worlds commerce, but recent events, particularly the apparent scarcity of gold, indicate plainly that the expansion business has been over done and that a period of rest and conservatism is necessary to restore healthy equilibrium.
 As the whole world is now practic- ally on a gold basis. it is but natural that each country should seek to re- enforce its supply of gold held as security against it's obligations. As always happens in periods of strin- gency, good supply of the precious metal has probably gone into hiding, to reappear again gradually as conf- dence is restored This reappearing gold. as well as the new supplies of the precious metal that will come out of the earth, will in time relieve the situation, but in the meantime there will have to be a temporary halt in speculation.

P|TTSBURG IS NOW
 THE GREATER CITY Supreme Court Decides Case
 Adding Allegheny
NOW RANKS WITH BOSTON
Annexation of Allegheny Makes Pitts burg Now a Municipality of 33 Square Miles, With 55o,ooo
 People Within Limits.

Washington, November 1S.-The suit arising out of the effort to consolidate the cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny was decided by the supreme court of the United States today in favor of the con- solidation, the opinion of the court being handed down by Justice Moody.
 In his opinion Justice Moody went at length into the objections that were made against the consolidation and showed that the constitutional questions raised would not justify a federal court in interfering. He quoted the record, showing that the consolidation was undertaken at the in- stance of Pittsburg under an act passed by the Pennsylvania legislature while in special session in February, 1906, and that the people of Allegheny, who re- sisted the union of the two municipali- ties, took the position that the proceed ing should be held vioid.
 He cited the fact that they attacked the statute because of the claim that the union had not been included in the proclamation of the government as against the objections of the extraordi- nary session. He made reference also to the charge that tle legislation was local or special and did not cover a class of cities, Pittsburg and Allegheny being the only two cities in the state falling under the terms of the act which author ized the consolidation of ''contiguous cities into one municipality. The Penn- sylvania supreme court upheld the law and Justice Moody's opinion affirmed that ruling.
