EMPIRE THEATER
Local Lodge of Eagles Ceiling
 After Siock holders.

A sheriff with an attachment took possession of the Empire theatcr Saturday night after the final per formance of Christopher Jr," but 1t was understood that he was dis charged to-day. and that things will go on as before at the theater but under readjusted conditions. There Is more or less mystery about the whole affair. This much is certain, however, that the sheriff represented the local lodge of Eagles, which rent ed the hall to the stockholders of the Empire Stock Co. to secure the weekly rental of $125. Attorney r. P. Guilfole acting for the Eagles said that there will be a meeting of the stockholders this evening or to- morrow and that 1t was his impress sion the meeting was called for the purpose of disbanding, some of them being unwilling to remain in the corporation any longer.
 Mir Guilfoile also stated that the theater is now rented to the stock company direct and that plays will be shown there as usual. The com pany has been doing good business and the shows that have been put on were all of the first class order. The cause of the sheriff's presence in the theater Saturday evening was due, it was said, to some of the stockholders being seized with the financial disorder known as "cold feet"

SKATING YESTERDAY.
About 2,O0O Enjoyed Sport at Ham,
 ilton Park.

Over 2,000 persons enjoyed them selves on the skating rinks at Ham, ilton park yesterday. All that is needed now to induce the boys and girls to remain on the ice during the night time are a few electric lights. The park committee ought to be able to supply these, but perhaps they may think it none too soon for all good little boys and girls to head for home at dusk, so that their pjrents may not be wondering where they are and what they are doing. What has been done there is bless ing. It keeps the youth of the town eff dangerous places during the skat- ing season and in like manner it furnishes suitable bathing accommo- l,ation for them during the summer months. No wonder people inter 'sted in the youth of the city think Iayor Thoms is just right and hope lis successors will follow his exam ,le in the matter of park improve nents and other things.
