1t is requested that this special
committee, acting with the solicit
ing committees of the various
wards, urge the speedy securing of
additional subscribers to the cap
ital stock of the fair, that present
subscribers be solicited to increase
the number of shares they have
already taken, and that ten per
cent of the amount of their shares
be paid in cash. Certificates of
stock are to be issued for each one
dollar share paid in full.
Iu discussion of the PROPOSE
ton it was decided that while it
was necessary to secure the full
subscription of 5000 shares, it was
not necessary to pay in at this time
more than ten per cent of the
amount, and that it was probable
the board of directors may not find
it necessary to call for payment of
more than % or so per cent of the
stock in the next twelve months.
Forty-one of the subscribers
present signed the charter as
adopted, after which the meeting
adjourned.
The committee which was con-
tinued to solicit subscriptions is as
follows:

We wish law could be passed
prohibiting the barbaric custom of
opening caskets in public at church
funerals. 1t is relic of the dark
ages and has no place in aciviliz-
ed community. 1t jars on the SEN
sibility of every tender chord, and
is something that the churches
and undertakers ought to combine
to put an end to. In nine-tenths
of the cases it is merely pander-
ing to ghoullsh curiosity. Peo-
pie who never spoke to the deceas-
ed in their life parade around the
church, cape at the form of our
loved one, then go out of the pres
ence of death, not to talk of the
good deeds done in life, but to
criticise the appearance of the
poor clay that death has left for
once at their mercy. Death is q
sacred thing. If we are going on
a long journey we do not make our
adieus before a gaping crowd; we
ought not to be expected to bid
our dead a last good-by while Curl
Gus eyes fatten on our grief, and
we ought not to be expected to sit
in the house of mourning while
people we never speak to, who
have no claim on us or our loved
one, jostle each other in their de-
sire to view the remains, and they
get together and gossip over what
they saw or failed to see. We be-
lieve that majority of the people
detest the painful funeral scenes
as much as we do, and be more
than glad to see them ended, but
are afraid to break "custom. :"
But it is a duty the minister and
undertaken owe to themselves and
the long-suffering public to put q
stop to the exhibition, and they
will find the public only too glad
to uphold them with a hearty amen.

|scribed and those heretofore pub
lished showed total of COS shares

Mr.. j. A. Williams, of the CON-
mittee to provide q charter, came
forward with the draft of charter
which he prepared, and requested
that same be discussed and criti-
cised az he should read it, and that
such changes and amendments as
may be thought necessary be made
before adoption.
The charter provides that the
organization be called the Grant
Parish Fair Association, and The
document was read and discussed
BY articles and sections, and chang
ed in one or two provisions, after
which it was adopted as whole.
Que important fact developed in
the discussion was that under the
law the Fair Association could not
be chartered and organized until
5000 had been subscribed. It was
therefore decided that the same
soliciting committees in the vari-
Gus wards be retained and request
ed to proceed with their canvass
for additional subscriptions, and
that all Subscribers be asked to pay
at least ten per cent ON all shares
of stock as soon as subscribed.
The charter is adopted with the
following as the first board of di-
rectors: At large, C. Fl. Mccain,

Theatres.
CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE

''The TRUTH" another of Clyde Fitch s
smart society comedies and one which is
entirely new to Philadelphia, is being
given its first local presentation by the
Orpheum Players at the Chestnut Street
Theatre this week. ''The Truth" was
successfully produced several years ago.
with Clara Bloodgood in the stellar role,
that of a young wife whose utter disregard
for the truth results in serious domestic
trouble. Miss Bloodgood was scheduled
to appear at one of the high-priced thea
tres in Philadelphia, but, owing to her
sudden death, the play was withdrawn.
With the exception of 1.-THE City," the
last play which Mr.. Fitch wrote, 'The
Truth" is the only Fitch comedy new to
Philadelphia theatregoers. Its presenta-
ton should therefore prove an event of
more than passing interest.
''rhe Truth" is play with a pointed
moral-a sort of sermon in dramatic form
and is written in Mr.. Fitch's best style.
1t is impressive and should appeal strong
ly to women, although the masculine con-
hngency will find in this comedy much to
interest and amuse them. The plot deals
with the efforts of Mrs. Tom Warder, a
leader in New York social circles, to bring
about reconciliation between her friends
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Linden, who have
parted because of failure to understand
one another.
In the Orpheum production Leila Shaw
VIII play the part of Becky and AL.
Phillips will be seen as Becky's husband.
George Parker will be seen as Lindon,
and Ada Boshell will also have a funny
role as Mrs. Crespignly, the Baltimore
boarding mistress. The play will be pro-
duced under the personal supervision of
stage director Percy Winter.

New York's new automobile law, which
went into operation on August LIST, is
wisely drawn. 1t provides for all reason
able privileges for the motorist, while at
the same time furnishing the safeguards
that experience has shown to be necessary
for the public on the highways. Boys are
not permitted to act as chauffeurs, and
all chauffeurs must wear badges and are
required to pass examination. Men with
bad records are not to be licensed. The
numbers displayed on cars are plain and
easily read. The arrogance and reckless
ness of many chauffeurs In claiming the
monopoly of the highway and taking
chances of running down people and We
hicles that do not instantly get out of the
way will be rebuked under the new law.
Motorists must come to to full stop when
requested by drivers of horses, and If an
accident results from this neglect the law
puts upon the chauffeur the burden. Of
proof, for 1t assumes that he is guilty.
The highways belong to all the people,
and should be kept free from danger to
the people. There would be little danger
indeed, if all chauffeurs were careful, If
the "road hog" did not exist and If reason
able road laws were always scrupulously
enforced and observed. -Nesodrk Star.

A SPECIAL commission named by the
last Legislature has begun an investiga-
ton of the methods of transacting business
by the Boards of Education in this State.
A witness summoned to give evidence re-
spectiDg the sale of land to the North
Bergen School Board refused to testify.
and gave this reason: 81 refuse to answer
because they tell me, and the Judge of the
county said to me, that crime has been
committed, and do not want this evidence
to be used against me-" If there is not an
actual confession of crime in these words
language has no meaning. The charge is
that deal was made. this witness being
used as an instrument by which land for
several sites was foisted upon the school
district at extrayagant prices, and that
members Of the board privately secured
lots from the tract that figured in the deal.
and an important witness refused to testify
on the ground that by so doing he would
incriminate himself. II all the facts in
this case are not dragged into the light
