Campaign for 1903 Pool.

A determined and active campaign
is to be made among the growers of
tobacco in the Buriey district within
the next ten days, to try to secure
pledges to pool the 1909 crop and it is
believed that enough can be secured to
insure the formation of another pool
like the one of last year and the year
before. In some of the counties or
ganizers will &c about securing pledges
and will be allowed a percentage ofsthe
amount they succeed in pooling, proba-
bly, 81 hogshead. In other counties
this will not be necessary as the pools
was so successful during the two OF
three years that it was maintained
that the growers have seen the advan-
tage of pooling and will not need argu-
ments to show them that they should
Join the next pool.

"rHE WOLF" IS COMING.

Early in February the theatre-goers
will have an opportunity of witnessing
for the first time in this city, the
Messrs. Sam S. and Lee Shubert S,
rgeat2 reduction of THE Wolf, the
newest drama from the pen of Eugene
Waiter, which has scored an enormous
success the past season. The Wolf

ed at nearly every performance.
1.-The WOlfN tells a story of girl
who was betrayed and sent to her
death in the Canadian Hudson Bay
country. Her half-5rother seeks the
man and finds him attempting to lure
another young girl to ruin. 1t happens
that the half-brother loves this girl,
so he takes her away, but the william
! follows the meeting of the two rivals,
the william and the hero, makes one of
! the strongest and most interesting
scenes ever witnessed on the American
stage.
The two men meet in the dark and
fight for the possession of the girl.
The audience hears the two men as
they toss and pummel each other about
the stage. Finally there is a moan,
and the listeners know that death has
come to one of the fighters. But which
one? The moon creeps up, and the vic
tor strikes a match and holds it above
his victims head. Then comes the
great applause, for the right man has
teen victorious and the play has g
happy ending.
The piece will be presented here
with particularly strong cast and
the scenic environments precisely the
same in every detail as those used il
New York and Chicago.

FEARED MAN HAD
BEEN BURNED UP
But No Trace of Charles Smiths
Body Found in Ruins of
Vailsburg Barn.

It was thought for a time today that
Charles Smith, a mulatto, had lost his
life in a destructive fire that occurre /
last night in the stables owned by
Samuel A. and Louis Kaphan. at S35
Sanford avenue, in the Vailsburg sec
ton. Men searched for the body, but
could not find it, and Smith is now be-
lieved to be safe.
The Kaphans are cattle and horse
dealers, and usually had their stable S
well stocked, but their stock, owing to
recent heavy deals, had been reduced
last night to five cows, two calves and
two valuable horses, all of which were
destroyed, together with three buggies,
a sleigh, harness and stable utensils,
with a total value of about 8 5000. The
loss is only partly covered by insur-
ance.
Louis Kaphan, one of the members
of the firm, is on the o at the pres
ent time, purchasing a new supply of
cattle, and the stables were in charge
of ibis brother. Mr.. Kaphan stated to-
day that he had left the stables at 1880
o'clock last night, leaving everything
in the best of condition, and that IN
had retired shortly after 8 o'clock, to
be awakened by an automobile footing
it's horn, two hours later. When the
firemen reached the scene of the blaze
they found that the flames had gained
great Roadway. and had to content
themselves with devoting their efforts
toward saving the Kaphan residence,
nearby.
They learned from Mr.. Kaphan that
Smith, the mulatto, had been at the
stables several times since Louis
Kaphan had left the city. and that he
had made several requests for m
ployment. Owing to the fact that
Smith persisted in smoking about the
premises, Mr.. Kaphan stated that he
had peer compelled to refuse him en-
ployment.
While on their way to the fire the
horses attached to Engine Company
No. q met with an accident and were
incapacitated from further work.

STORE BLOWN UP AFTER
BLACK HAND THREATS,
Hazleto1 Merchant Had Re-
Ceiyed Demands for Meney.

HAZLETON. Pa, July 29.-The en-
tire front of the store of James An
tinozzi, a merchant here, was blown
out early today with dynamite. Nc
one was injured.
A~ntinozzi last winter received a let
ter demanding money and directing him
to place it under a rock les a reservoir.
On July 22. the demand was repeated,
this time with the threat that his place
would be dynamited if he did not COM
ply with the request. He treated the
letter as a joke. Beyond the fact that
the letter came from a black hand
gang, there is no clue to the writer.
