Last Saturday the Emporium team

Last Saturday the Emporium team
was defeated by the Ridgway boys at
Keystone Park, IL to 8. The boys
played a snappy game throughout.
Hhe features of the game were a one
hand catch by Burhans and neat
double play by Overturf and Farrell
and the exceptional good work of Far,
rel at first base. The Ridgway boys
had thirteen hits, the fast work by
our boys robbed them of several more,
which ordinarily would have been

year just closed greatly exceeded any
previous years. Address the Principal

MOVING PICTURES IN ITALY.
The Residents in That Land Are sur
felted With Dancing Women.

Milan, the centre of Italy for the
moving picture machine trade, has al
ready about forty such theatres.
Every available hall is being turned
into moving picture show, while
nearly every second and third rate
theatre and cafe chantant' finishes
the evenings performance with few
cinematograph pictures During the
dull summer season even the larger
theatres are used
Dramatic and tragic scenes. natural
scenery of an interesting nature, and
comical farces are sure to fill the hall
at any time in Italy. The Italian
loves to see living scenery; for in
stance, moving picture view of Nj
agara Falls was huge success here
short time ago. The Italian also
likes to see typical scenes of national
life, such as for instance, bull fights
in Spain and winter sports on the
snow and ice in Switzerland. Rail-
way scenery is very acceptable, as are
views of large towns. Pictures of the
larger towns of the United States
would be huge success in Milan.
Occasionally typical scenes from Am
erican life have been thrown on the
sheeting, such as cowboy life and
train wreckers. The Italian is dis
gusted, if not already surfeited with
pictures of singing and dancing wom-
en-, neither does he like fantassical
scenery from fairy tales.

up and kiss him-and how he did
enjoy all this! McClure's Magazine.
