A newcomer in vaudeville has been
announced for the week of December
2Sth, in Claude Gillingwater, one of the
most important standbys of the legiti-
mate stage, who has succumbed to the
inducements of vaudeville. Mr.. Gilling-
water created widespread attention
through his performances of "Hiram
Bent, the American millionaire in mile.
Modesto" with FRITZ Scheff. Mr.. Gil
lingwater in vaudeville, however, will
have a one act comedy written by him
self, in which he assumes the part of an
actor manager, willing to take the task
of training ambitious amateurs. He
finds pupil in the wife of George Jones,
wealthy New Yorker, and undertakes
to couch her in the art of acting. Mr..
Jones returns unexpectedly and arrives
in tint to witness rehearsal of most
passionate love scene, which he. of
course. mistakes for the "real thing"
Then the trouble begins, the plot having
many complications, involving an es-
capped matte, misplaced telegram,
policeman in the wrong house, arresting
the wrong man and a number of other
features, making what is said to be one
of the biggest laughing hits of the sea-
son.
Another newcomer is Maude Wulff,
who rides a beautiful horse and intro
duces in the act Siberian hound. Also
on the bill are Edward Wulff, one of
the most sensational animal trainers i'm
the world, who presents an act that was
imported especially for the New York

THE IDEAL POULTRY HOUSE.

The ideal poultry house is difficult to
describe. There seems to be nothing
about the poultry business in regard TO
which there is n wider difference Of
opinion than on this point. 1t seems to
be the general opinion that the type
of house is not very important so long
as it is dry, well ventilated, and the
fowls have plenty Of the proper kind
of food. Food is the essential thing. and
of course certain foods are much bet
ter than others. \. NJ. Brown of North
Rochester. Mass, gives his opinion on
this particular point in the following let
ter. He says: 81 have fed nearly all
the poultry foods on the market, but
not with such returns as Pages Per-
fected Poultry Food gives. My hens
have an average of so percent to their
credit. Last winter It was so percent

ket"

food and the best ways of using ii,

ANCIENT RECORDS.

Few of our own people know how
far back the records of Lancaster county
go. They extend in an unbroken series
from 1862, and this is one of the few
counties whose records have not been
disturbed or in part destroyed. To the
historian they are specially valuable.
DIR. Lyon G. Tyler. president of the
College Of William and Mary. was in
Northumberland and Lancaster last
week investigating the ancient court
records Of those two counties for data
for historical work he is preparing
for the press.
While in Lancaster DIR. Tyler inter-
viewed the board of supervisors and
urged them to have firezprOof build
ing provided for the preservation of
the invaluable court records of the
county.

The hazy weather that prevails here
is spread over the ocean and the signal

A numerously signed petition is in
circulation in Westmoreland, asking the
Washington Potomac Steamboat Com
pany to put on an additional steamer in
order to make daily trips from Nomini
Creek to Washington, instead of tri-
weekly as at present. The people in
that section want better facilities for
moving oyster, fish and crab freight,
besides other shipments.
The report of the United States Hy-
geographic Office shows that the recent
West India storms that swept the At
lantic Coast caused a great number of
wrecks -thirty-seven are reported. The
greatest force of this hurricane was
felt far at sea, and many bark foun-
dered, or, crippled and helpless, was
driven ashore, to be pounded to pieces
on the treacherous rocks, or crushed by
the breakers.

The Collector of Customs at Norfolk
complains that it is difficult to enforce
the rules Of the service as to motor
boats. These boats are under the same
general rules as govern steam vessels,
and are required to carry life preserv-
ers, etc., and the operator is expected
to know something of the laws of navi-
CATION. A large number of small boats
engaged in the oyster trade, says Col
lector Hughes, are motor propelled.
No license is required of persons oper-
sting boats of this type, which makes
all the more difficult the enforcement
OF the laws. The Bureau of Naviga-
ton of the Department of Commerce
and Labor is endeavoring to devise
ways and means for regulation.
