"GAY ATLANTIC CITY"
Soon to Be Presented Here by Popular
Musical Comedy Company.

Mr. Willis appeared before the
curtain at the Colonial last
night after the second act of
"Gay Atlantic City," and an
nounced that the sole intention
of his organization was to stir
up Il good, hearty laugh on the
part of the audience. The pur-
pose was fully realized. The
audience was kept laughing
constantly and it is a safe bet
that everybody got his moneys
worth. 1t is true that these
laugh-evoking efforts were not
always strictly according to
Hoyle, and that the stringent
rules OF absolute comedy were
occasionally violated.
The company contains about
sixteen members, Of whom elev-
en- are girls. They are remark
ably young girls, too.
Walter Willis, who played the
bell boy, was show himself.
He is a ContortiOniSt, high kick
er and all-around stunt perform
er, and practically appropriated
an entire act to jumping over
furniture, skating over the floor
and perpetratlng various indig-
mites on the guests of the hotel
at Atlantic City.
There were plenty of musical
numbers and some good special
ties.
The performance was fully
worth the price of admission
and we can ConsCientiously ad.
wise all those who enjoy a
hearty laugh to attend the Col
onial tonight. .-PHtsbury Ameri-

As will be Seen by the swoIn
statements published this week,
Kingstree's two banks, at the call of
the State bank examiner on No

numbers, while Lake City's two
banks followed closely with combin-

a grand total in deposits of $685.

The Palmetto Limited.

The Coast Lines effort to make
their fancy through train, the
"Pslmetto Limited, do local work
through this section is strlKlngly
suggestive of trying to train race
horse to the plow at odd times.
The blooded racer is useless as a
plow animal and the unnatural
exercise units him for the work
to which he Is really adapted.
The "Palmetto Limited" al
though but a week old, has caused
loud and vociferous complaint
among the local patrons of the
road. The tourists, for whose es-
pecial benefit the service was IN.
augurated, are no doubt equally
recalcitrant at having to stop at
every little station along the way,
so that the new train is suited to
neither class of patrons.
The mail that should arrive here
in the forenoon is delayed any,
where from ore to five hours
daily, because the train is never
on time. 1t is a notorious fact
that the new train has scarcely
made schedule time through this
section single trip since the day
it was put on.
In notable contrast the little
"shoo.Ay" which it displaced was
almost invariably on time and the
schedule was about as convenient
ly arranged, in connection with
the other local train, as could be
desired.
The new train is All imposition
and a hardship upon the local
travelling public, and it should be
put squarely up to the railroad
officials that the people through
this section demand better serv-
ice. Let them run as many fancy
tourist trains as they please, but
don't try to make people pay for
them who enjoy none of the lux
uries of travel. The two classes
of travellers are separate and dis
tinct' and the same conditions will
not apply to both. Business and
pleasure, ever hostile to each oth-
er, cannot be made to travel IT,
gether long, even by way of the
luxurious "Palmetto Limited. "

 The President was up with the sun today and was. enjoying the fresh morning air when his train stopped at Bee Hive, Tex. Much noise at the rear of the. car attracted him to the platform. MT. Taft began his speech by talking about Texas Then a voice in the crowd asked How about postal savings banks? Are you in favor of them?'
 The President said he was, and after he had explained why the voice cried Where are you putting your money. Bill? ?' T have not much money to putt explained the President. When you have been in politics as long as have you will understand there is mighty little money to save"
 Concluding his defense of the postal bank, MT. Taft said:
 'I hope the banks will not continue their opposition to it. In other coun- tries they have postal savings banks In England they have postal savings banks and they have not interfered with the banks. There are 600, 900, 900 depositors in England.
 So it is in Austria, and France and from the statistics made apparent the great majority of depositors in these banks are working men and minor children who are induced to put in ten cents, twenty cents, a dollar, and final ly their accounts grow so that they are substantial"

TERRIBLE CRASH
 OF A METEORlTE
Smashes Windows, Splin- ters Telephone Pole and
 Stops Several Clocks.
STORRS WAKES UP EARLY
(Special from United Press,

S.y
 Storrs, Conn.,, Oct. 23.-Citizens or this community are today debating the difference between a meteorite and a flash of lightning. According to sev- eral who were up at 1 o'clock this morning as we'll as several who were awake through no wish of their own, there was a terrible crash, a blinding flash, a smashing of windows, the splintering of a telephone pole and the stopping of clocks in several buildings when a meteorite struck near the home of F. M. Chadwick splintering the bark off a large elm and breaking sew eral panes of window glass in Chad wick's house. Others declare the phe- nomenon was merely a freak flash of lightning which a majority of the lo- cal residents doubt seriously.
 Chadwick said that soon before the report came he and his family were sleeping. The house seemed to rock and they were thrown to the floor from their beds. Chief Clerk Gunther and Frank Mclean, the football coach, de clare they both saw the meteorite. Gunther says he heard a rushing sound as though a heavy wind had arisen, followed by a lurid glow which filled his bedroom. An examination of the telephone pole that was splintered and the elm tree nearby is being made to- day. It is the opinion of leading citi- zens that no flash of lightning could have wrecked the timber in such manner.

 GIRL CLERKS
Florence Clarke and Hazel Hegerty, Each 15 Years,
 Not Seen Since Oct. II
DETECTIVES MYSTIFIED

Two bright and pretty girls of 15 summers, bosom friends have been missing from their homes and from the city since Monday afternoon, Oct. Il. They are Florence Clarke of 169 Williston street and Hazel Heggerty, who lives on the same street, near the Clark girl. Hazel had been working in the five and ten cent store, but left there after dispute with the manag- CT over money The last time the girls were seen was Columbus day.. in New Haven. Mrs. Heggerty, HazePs gray.
 7 The matter has been reported to the police. They have sent circulars to New York state police. The parents have also made diligent search.
 Detective Cronan has been working on the case and seemed discouraged this morning over the meagre results of his labors.
 He was at loss to know what would prompt the girls to leave home. AS with the terror of the White Slave trade staring them in the face the parents are fearful that the girls have been kidnapped.
 Captain Arnold, of the Detective Bureau, however, is not so pessimis- tic about the outcome. He thinks that the SlrlS Will turn up dSdln dIIer d little while and be only too glad to get back home.
 The Clark girl is the daughter of Mrs. Leonora Clark. Hazel is the daughter of Mrs. William Heggerty of 175 Williston street, who is employed by the Birdsey-Somers Co.
 The Hegerty girl has dark hair, dark eyes and a dark complexion. On her right cheek is a birthmark, shap- ed like a small red maple leaf. She wore a corn colored straw hat trim med with pink ribbon. Her coat was a lcng red one, trimmed with black velvet and her skirt and shirt waist were black. The color of her shirt waist was. white.
 The Clark girl is also brunette. Her black hat was trimmed with black wings. Her coat was black and of the cutaway style. Her black skirt had rows of buttons on the back. Her waist was white, trimmed with blue She also wore black Ox- ford ties.
