Story Of the Crime.

Philadelphia, June 1s.--The murder
OF Madge Yorke, for which James B.
Gentry was sentenced to be hanged
and finally sent to prison for life, was
committed on the afternoon OF Feb. II,
1895, in this city.
Madge YorICe was playing with The
Baggage Check Co. in this city
Gentry, who was filling an engagement
in Boston, had, his friends alleged.
been seriously i'll with the grippe and
was drinking heavily. He had an en-
gagement to meet Miss Yorke in New
York early in February, but through
a misunderstanding he missed her az
the railroad station.
He met some friends In New York
and they jokingly told him that Miss
Yorke was receiving the attentions OF
another actor. From that time all
trace of Gentry was lost until he
rushed into the room occupied by
Miss Yorke at a Walnut street hotel
and shot and killed the actress. In his
hurry to escape from the hotel, Gentry
fell from the fire escape, fracturing
two Of his ribs. He made his way to
Fairmont Park, where for two days
and nights he slept and rosmed
through the woodland in the bitter
cold.
Hunger Forced Surrender.
Being unable to withste the pangs
of hunger and his terrible suffering
Gentry gave himself up TO a park
guard and was sent to the hospital
He was later sent to prison and finally
convicted Of murder in the first de-
gree. He was sentenced to be hanged
on April %, 1897, but on the day pre-
ceding the date on which the sentence
was to be carried out the board Of
pardons recommended that the sem
tence be commuted to life imprison-
ment.
Governor Hastings carried out the
recommendation of the board Since
then repeated efforts have been made
to have the actor pardoned. Gentry
has always maintained that he has no
recollection of the murder OF Miss
!! Yorke; that his mind was a blank
until he found himself in a hospital in
this city.

THE CHANGES OF TIME.

This is world of constant change.
On farm, hill, valley, street and bust
ness block; in habits of men and
women; in lines of thought and
fields of activity, there is kaliedo-
sopic change every month and year.
To keep up with the times is the
watch word to success. Leave your
home town for two years and, on
your return, you find that failures
here and successes there have been
going on. Many have fallen by the
waySide; many have prospered be-
yond your dreams. The reason is
that every community is growing and
change is written upon everything.
No one has a patent upon any bust
ness. A successful business today
may be a failure next year. The
man who relies upon his present pop
ularity or his present good will'' in
business and fails to recognize that
there are other wide-awake men with
the same opportunities, is preparing
himself for failure. The public deals
and trades where the trend' leads
them. The alert, intelligent, per-
sistent advertisers ike Wanamaker
and Marshall Field have never made
the mistake of relying upon name
or location to hold trade.

The CROP REPORT.

The official crop report shows that
the corn area now is seven and a
quarter million acres greater than
the area harvested last fall, and the
condition July was 1913 per cent,
as against Se.S per cent a year ago.
The crop last year was officially re-
ported to be e,66S, 900, 900 bushels,
an amount exceeded only in 1905,
and 1906.
As the present crop covers more
than : per cent more ground than
the last crop, and the condition is
decidedly higher, there is promise
of a crop 10 to Is per cent lager
than the crop last year. An increase
of 10 per cent would carry the crop
above the record harvest of 1906.
The condition of wheat, both win
ter and spring, on July l, was de,
cidedly better than year ago, and
the probability that the record wheat
crop will be approached and may be
exceeded is strengthened. Oats,
rye and barley are in better condi.
ton than a year ago, and private es.
Inmates indicate that the crop ofoat.
will be very much larger than ever
before.

EARTH'SLAST THROE
ELIJAH SANFORD PUTS IT AT
10000 A. M.

Bangor, Me-, July The Holy
Ghost and Us Society, whose princi-
pal base of operations is at Shiloh,
Me-, has received advices that the
end of the world is to come at
1o:9o:So a. m. Wednesday. Septem-
Der 18th.
Rev. Frank Sanford, who originat-
ed the sect and calls himself eli
jah, y The Uncrowned King and
several other euphonious titles, says
so. The Holy Ghost and Us Society
followers at Shiloh say he ought to
know, and are making preparations
to don the pure white robes, pass up
to the housetops of their colony in
sequestered Main village and await
the dread moment. When it comes
they expect to see the sky go to
smash, the earth busted into
smithereens, the sun tumbling some
where and they themselves trans
planted into the realms of bliss,
while all Others pass into destruction.
Meanwhile, they have painted the
entire tabernacle at cost of 81 900
and bought great rug, so that the
place will look nice, anyway, when
Elijah" gets home from his trip to
Jerusalem and other places IN the
Yacht cornet.

THE OLDEST AND ONE OF THE VERY
BEST SHOWS ON The ROAD.
The shamolsin, Pa, Daily News

The shamokin, Pa, Daily News
of June II, 1909, says:
The street parade was PERHAPS
the biggest, brightest and best that
ever passed through the streets of
Shamokin. The horses were fat and
sleek, some great big ones and some
little tiny ones, and all to be admir-
ed. Three bands furnished except
ionally fine music and the gold dec
GRATED wagons and dazzling costumes.
of the performers, the big herds of
elephants and camels all went to
make the pageant delight to every
one of the hundreds of happy spec
tators.
"a large audience attended this
afternoons performance and came
away delighted with the entertain
ment. There is an abundance of
merry making clowns, while each
and every act is worthy of individual
commendation, some being of such
novel and extraordinary character as
to deserve special mention, among
which are the riding seals. These
wonderful aquatic creatures perform
series of marvellous acts. They
actually ride on bareback horses,
play ball, juggle and balance various
objects while riding on the backs of
feet horses. This may seem incred-
ulous yet nevertheless may be wit
messed at each performance.
Another act that deserves more
than passing comment is that of the
American Hercules. The strong
man, Warren Lincoln Travis, whose
phenomenal feats, showing the Won
derful muscular power of the human
frame, both astonish and amaze the
beholders. The elephants which
dance, waltz and perform various
feats subject to the master mind
their trainer, were pronounced to be
the best performing herd ever
seen in this section. An admirable
feature was the six horse act.
The riding, driving and managing of
six horses by Gordon Orion is most
wonderful display of equestrian dar-
ing. In fact, every act presented
was of the highest order of excellence
and skill after its kind.
The menagerie was one of the
largest and most comprehensive in its
make ever brought into this section.
Taken as a whole, 1t is recogniz-
ed as one of the greatest shows that
has ever visited the state and such is.
