GETTING READY FOR
U. v. |. ENCAMPMENT

General John p. Donahoe and soma
other members of the Union Veteran
Legion have received from the execu-
tive Committee of the National En-
campment, Union Veteran Legion, a
request TO learn If possible about how
many men will go to Washington, d.
C.. in September TO attend the Ma
tional Encampment.
Similar letters are being sent 70
members of the Legion in many parts
of the country, in the hope that the
Committee on Transportation may be
able TO form some idea Of the num-
ber of persons likely 10 visit Wash
ington at that time.
In this way the machinery is set in
motion, and In various places the mat
ter of going will be talked over, and
invitations extended to comrades. their
families and their friends. It is ex-
pected that a large-delegation will gp
from this neighborhood. taking ad-
vantage of the reduced rates which
will be offered by the railroads at that
time.
Washington is such an attractive city
in itself. with so many side trips in
prospect-toMount Vernon and the Vir-
ginia batlefelds-that hundreds will so
who do not attend the regular meet
ings.
BY looking ahead the committee in
charge hopes to have all plans made

CARITA WINS PLAUDITS

"Carita," whose beautiful spectacular
dances are winning plaudits nightly in
attendance at the Opera House this
week, is finished representative OF
the dance. She is more than that.
she is genius. II might be said Of
her as Of Carlotta Crisi, that she "yha
sets ones brains on fire" Unlike some
OF the other eXponents of the spectacu-
lar terpsichorean art known to fame.
this accomplished young woman does
not subordinate the art of the dance
itself, with all its charm Of delicate
expression, to the mere mechanical art
of producing beautiful combinations Df
light. color, and stage effects. "Carita"
is not content to merely race madlv
about the stage waving silks. gauze.
and lingerie in the usual profunctorv
way Of serpentine dancers, leaving tho
eye to feast on color alone, but II Is
the altogether unique combination OF
her genuinely artistic dancing with the
spectacular accessories that makes the
act so unusually attractive. In her
opening number, the Spanish dance,
for instance she seems fired by the
abandon OF some viewless spirit that
seeks intoxication in the reckless throw
of body and limbs But II is i'm the
final number that the fascination of
her art grips the audience. She seems
a very Ariel" at times, as she lightly
and swiftly swings through the various
steps gliding as gracefully as though
bouyed up in the air. "Carita's per-
sonal charms, especially the freshness
and beauty OF her youth have much
to do with the appeal and effective
ness of her art.

TALKING OF A NEW

lt Is rumored that an effort Is to be
made TO combine the proposed electric
railway projects between West Chos-
ter and Wilmington and West Chester
and Chester, by running ono limo via
Westtown 20 Concordville, and then di-
verting one line 10 Wilmington and the
other 70 Chester. This would save
considerable, as ono track would serve
both railways from Concordvine to
West Chester. and economize in con-
struction and power.
The promoters of the West Chester
Wilmington project some time since
advocated tho changing OF the route
from the old one up the Wilmington
pike and running II via. Concordville.

sive. The Concordville-Ch Chester pro-
ject would In no wise be damaged 10y
