Fun in a TOyShop.

What can be more enjoyable to look
forward to than an evening of delight,
SPENT a comfortable theatre listening
to a new comic opera that is truly comic
and filled with new melodies that please
and charm the ear? This new musical
comedy is called The Toymakers, "
and will be seen at the Opera House,
Oakland, on Tuesday, Dec q, for one
night only. 1t was written by Charles
FELTON, Pldgin, the chief Of the Massa-
chusetts Bureau of Statistics, who
jumped into popular favor when he
wrote Quincy Adams Sawyer" which
was read and talked about all over the
country. This gentleman who daily
feeds on the dry breakfast food" of
statistics mas a most versatile genius
for amusing people and this latest bool.
The Toymakers' which he dramatized
hims Il is trimming over with laughter
and fun Of the best kind His New
England play aroused great interest be
cause Of its faithful pictures of rural
life and when he takes his au fence to
old Englan6 and of all things hits upon
the idea Of bringing a mechanical doll to
life by electricity in quaint toy shop
which causes the most ridiculous situa-
tons and sends the audience into shrieks
Of laughter that continues for $50 min
utes. Mr.. Pidgin wrote the twenty
six lyrics, gems of their kind, which
Charles D. Blake and John A. Bennett
set to music which is Of high order
sparkling with bright new tunes that
set the feet a-tapping. The names of
Charles F. Atkinson and James Thatcher
who manage The Jollities" is guaran-
tee for clean, clever, amusing enter
tain. The scenery is new and costumes
artistically designed for The Toy
makers" which hould be read by every
one if possible, giving double pleasure
when listened to later.

Claims Brvan nnle Award.

Frank A. Perdew, a Democratic mem
Der Of the bar of Allegany county, who
is a great admirer Of William J. Bryan,
claims that from the vote so far as
known the greatest gain for Mr.. Bryan
IN any county in the United States in
the last campaign was in AIlegany
county, Md. The average Democratic
vote in the three campaigns 1896, 1900
and l904-was 1921. The figures for
1908 give the Democratic vote in Allie
gany county 4791, or a gain of $40 votes
over the average of the other three
campaigns. This is a gain Of % Is per
cent, the largest of any county in the
country so far reported. In that coun-
ty the largest gain was in Mount Savage
district. This district would come in
then, it is claimed, for the celebl ated
Bryan mule award
Mr.. Perdew sent Mr.. Bryan a tee-
gram Saturday at Lincoln, Neb., re-
questing that the mule be sent here on
the showing made by Allegany county

a convenience to the citizens of Penn

TRUSTS ARE NOT HURT
But Business in Other Lines Has Been
Seriously Affected by the Panic
That Still Hurts.

Mr.. Taft says that the panic is about
over and that conditions have about
reached normal. That does not CORE
spond with the view Of the Chicago
board of education that $4,000 children
go to school hungry, partly because
their fathers cannot get employment
and because of the increase in tie
cost of living.
The Saturday Evening Post, of re-
cent date, contains more statistics
showing that, according to the reports
OF the New York savings banks, the
number of accounts opened for the
year ending July 1 was 1900 less
than for the year before, while the
number of accounts closed was $4,000
greater than the year before The
amount deposited was $35, 100000 less
and the amount withdrawn $41 600 900
more. This shows large shrinkage
in the savings Of tie people of that
state. And now comes a New York
wholesaler with the statement that ON
July % the firm addressed letter to
the wholesale grOcers, biscuit bakers
and confectioners of the United States,
asking for figures showing trade con-
dltions at that time compared with six
months before. The following are the
statements for the eastern states,
southern states and the middle west:
Staple groceries, 10 per cent less in
the eastern states, II per cent. less In
the southern states and per cent. in
tie middle west.
Sales of groceries classed among
the luxuries, 16 per cent less In the
eastern states, IS per cent less in the
southern states and Is per cent. less
in the western states. The falling off
in biscuit and bakers articles and in
confectioners' trade shows substantial
ly the same per cent"
TO show how the trusts can escape
from the evils that affiict others, Mr..
Bryan recently called attention to the
fact that a recent issue Of the Wall
Street Journal shows that the Interna-
tional Harvester company made larg-
er net profits last year than in any
preceding year. and the directors OF
the International Harvester company
are largely the same as the directors
OF the steel trust.
