CATCH-AMUSEMENTS
 The Man Behind" as presented by the Raymond Teal Musical Comedy company last night was certainly par excellence. It was a scream from start to finish. and every one certain ly got a run for their money. This company delivers the goods. Manager King feels himself extremely forum ate in securing this company for the holidays. and the Orpheum is receiv- ing liberal and much merited patron age.
 The two weary Willies are indeed funny and kept the house in an up- roar. Corinne Garkeek as usual work ed to fine advantage, and the chorus was excellent and entered into the spirit of the musical numbers in a manner which was altogether pleas ing Nan Helperin is just as cute as she can be in all her parts, and has a reckless dash which is pleasingly natural. Evelyn Bunnin was also one of the features of the evening and did herself credit.
 Raymond Teal. as colored waiter. was exceptionally good and main. tained for himself the much merited reputation as the black face artist The company has a well balanced combination of artists who certainely arc first-class entertainers.

COMMITTEE
IS VERY BUSY
Campaign For New Members to the
Commercial Club Roll on in
Earnest.

The Canvassing Committee of the
Commercial Club are busy at work
putting membership buttons on the
members old and new. Whenever
you see a man with blue button on,
reading 'Hustlers For Greater Win
chester" you may know that he is a
member of the Commercial Club and
that his duties are paid for 1909. 1t
is harder to find a merchant on Main
street without one Ofthese buttons
pinned to the lapel of his coal than
it is to find one without button and
the game of "Buttonl Button! who's
got the buttOn?" is out Of date and
the game is now Button, Button
who's without a button?" The Com
mittee is hard at work and hope to
have 400 members enrolled and paid
up by Wednesday of next week. Ev-
cry business man in Winchester
should join the Commercial Club for
at least two reasons, one is that it
will be of good to the city and the
other IS that it is a sign Of push and
progress to be a member of such an
organization.

MARINES GO BACK
To FORMER DUTIES
President Taft Wipes Out ROOsG-
Velt'S Order.

Washington, March q. - rhe last
remaining vestige of the Roosevelt or
der taking marines of the battleships
and cruisers of the United States
navy was swept away when President
Taft, after the matter had been con-
sidered at cabinet meeting. directed
that an order be issued restoring the
marines to exactly the same duties
they performed prior to being ordered
ashore.
After congress had placed a pro-
vision in the navy appropriation bill
to the effect that a certain percentage
of the marine corps should be assign
ed to ship duty, an order was ISSUED
the day before President Roosevelt
went out of Office restoring the ma
rines to the ships, but placing them
under the orders of the captains of
vessels.
Under the old order of things the
marines were given specific duties.
One of these was to fight certain guns
of the secondary batteries. The order
placing them under the direction of
the ships captain made it possible to
assign the marines to any sort Of
duty and to deprive them of fighting
any part of the ships battery.

BOYLE FEARED
MOB VIOLENCE
Reception at Mercer is Quiet and Or
derIy-the Jail is Heavily
Guarded.

Mercer, Pa, March 27.-Heavily
manacled to Sheriff Chess and guard
ed by several detectives, James Boyle,
one of the kidnapers of little Willie
Whitla, was brought here from Pitts
burg and lodged in the Mercer county
Jail. His wife. it is said, will be
brought here from Pittsburg today,
and the couple will be formally ar
raigned on a charge of kidnapping in
q few days.
Boyle feared violence on his arrival
in Mercer, and on the journey from
Pittsburg asked Sheriff Chess if he
thought the crowd would harm him.
The prisoner looked greatly relieved
when he saw only a scattering of
people at the Mercer station. Boyle
was hurried into a waiting bus and
taken to the Jail. An armed guard
was placed in front of Boyle's cell
and patrol will be stationed outside
the Jail at night. Sheriff Chess said
the Jail would be guarded until the
trial of the Boyles was over.

DELIVERS SPLENDID
HISTORICAL LECTURE
Immense Audience Listens to DR..
Myers at c--'TI House
Friday Night

Perhaps the largest audience that
ever greeted a public speaker at the
court house in Winchester assembled
there on Friday evening to listen to
DR.. Irene 7. Myers, Dean of the Wo-
mans Department Of Pennsylvania
University. The subject was "Old
Kentucky"
The speaker did not engage in the
usual fulsome flattery that calls for
vociferOus applause from the average
Kentucky audience but gave a splen-
didly connected historical resume of
the discovery, exploration and set
tlment of America as for as it re-
lated to Kentucky and the Middle
West.
She traced the ancestors of the
present generation that inhabits the
Ozark and Bloody Ground from Eu-
rope across the seas and in their
progress toward the West. She quot
ed copiously from the ancient rec
ords of the early settlers to show
the manner of men they were and the
splendid promise Of Commonwealth
with such men as founders.
A recital of the names of those who
took high rank in medicine, art, IN
vention, in fact every line of human
endeavor in the early days of the
Commonwealth, betokened for the
State, the highest place in the Nation
yet the speaker was compelled to
close with an interrogation as to
whether we had built the superstruct-
ure that the splendid foundation pro-
phecied.

the recent meeting we had with them
in Philadelphia, and if an open break
occurs on either dispute, the present

WOMAN IDENTIFIED
Mrs. Boyle Is Daughter of Retired
Chicago Fireman.


Chicago, March 27.-That William
McDermott, a retired member of the
Chicago fire department, is the father
of Mrs. James H. Boyle" who with
her husband is charged with the kid
mapping of Willie Whitla, was confirm
ed by the grief-stricken father.
Mr.. McDermott's story of his daugh-
ter's life is that of a wayward girl
Anna McDermott, according to her
father. was one of the prettiest, one
of the brightest, of the children in
the neighborhood when a child. She
was given every possible advantage
of education and careful moral train
ing, but as she approached woman
hood she fell into company of which
the old fireman did not approve. Quar-
rels were frequent, and about three
years ago Anna eloped. Since that
time her story has been a blank to
her Chicago kin. Even the name of
the man with whom she cast her for
tune was unknown to them. They
carefully read from day to day the
story of the kidnapping of Willie Whit
la, of his return to his parents and
the arrest of the Boyles, bur they
never dreamed of connecting Mrs.
Boyle" with winsome, headstrong
Anna, who had deserted her home to
follow unknown paths. Mr. McDer-
mott has two other daughters, who
are married.
According to the statement Of the
father, the girl was educated at st.
Vincent academy in this city and at
hinisawa academy near Madison, Wis.

Life Saving Among the Breakers

Few things give the ordinary man
edge that he has saved a human life,
that he has snatched back from death
soul on the point of being extinguish-
ed. Usually the opportunity to save
life comes unexpectedly and the deed
requires quickness, strength, readiness
and. in many cases, special knowledge
and training. This latter is particu-
larly true in the case of the rescue of
drowning person. For frequently
there is more to it than merely drag
ging the drowning one from the water,
though in many cases this a difficult
and dangerous proceeding. If the one
whom the waters have tried to engulf
has been submerged too long, SO that
he has lost consciousness and his lungs
have become filed with water, the
knowledge of how to resuscitate him
is fully as important as the ability to
bring him to dry land. 1t is of little
use to save one from a watery grave
unless he can be brought back to life
ard consciousness afterward
There is in Honolulu now a man who
h. evoted a O- of time to instructing
others how to rescue from the waves
drowning persons and how to resuscitate
. tto apparently drowned. He is w. II.
Biddell, one of the honorary governors
of the New South Wales Surf-Swim
ming and Life-Saving Association. Mr.
b.,.0ell is in Honolulu for his health
and for rest from his hard work of
years past, but he proposes to give a
series of demonstrations of his work,
which will probably result in the forma-
of classes, and perhaps in the or
ization of Efe-saving association
here.
