The Big Noise Before Christmas


Coburn's Greater Ministries
viii appear at Newport opera
house, Friday, December 22nd,
and from all reports they will
repeat the splendid success
made last season by presenting
a Brand New Performance.
The Greenville Daily NeWssof
recent dst IL has qia. the followI1l|1'S 1gI
say:
Coburn's Minstrels gave one
of the cleanest, cleverest and
most enjoyable performances of
the season at the Grand last
night. In football parlance they
made a hit from the kick off.
The stage settings were beauti-
|ful, and the electric accessories
we'll placed. If a good show de-
serves a good audience Co.
burns Minstrels should play to
capacity wherever it appears.
The Individual and ensemble
work was of high order, and the
entire performance success.
In the Olio were many new feat
ures of the fun producing varie-
ty. The European Marionette
novelty act was exceptionally
clever. Charley Gano was a
whole show in himself. He is
unquestionably in a class by
himself when compared with
other comedians seen here. To
look at him is to laugh. A
feature of Gano's work is that
he never even approached the
ragged edge of anything objec-
tionable. The work of the quar-
tette Lucas, Mccarthy, Settle
and Tietge was clever and re-
ceived numerous encores. They
are a splendid singing four.
Manager Coburn always brings
first class minstrel attraction
to Greenville and, but for the
very inclement weather would
have had a packed house.

Spring Open at Shop of
 Mrs. J. I. Bowling

With each advancing season, espe- cially with the advent of Spring and Easter. come noted and marked changes in styles. To keep abreast of the times, to be in style, one must follow the styles. How neat and dis tinctive are the millinery evolutions of this season compared to those of a year ago.
 Originality is paramount at the shop of Miss ]. I. Bowling, 100-102 Meigs building. Seasons of experi- ence has taught that ideas which suit the personality of the wear are the best. The touch of the trained artist as uppermost: it has taught that the slightest homemade look destroys the effect. and the once beautiful form becomes a mass of straw satin and Iualine-

 District Attorney Whitman hopes that at least two of the men concern ed, one of whom was not an official of the Carnegie, will give him infor- nation which can be used in prosecut- ing politicians and bankers who were involved in the manipulation of the securities of the Carnegie and allied institutions.
 William J.

LABOR ID FIGHT FOR PEACEFUL
 PICKETING BILL Leader Abrahams Not Cast Down by Close Defeat of Measure in Bay State
 Senate
Says Time is Coming When United States Will Adopt Law Similar to Great Bri- tain's.

Bo-ton, March 22-Voicing the deter imitation of organized labor to con- tinue the fight for the peaceful pick eting bill," one of the chief labor mea- sures before the Massachusetts Leg islature, this session, and which was defeated in the Senate by the vote of President Treadway, deciding the tie, Henry Abrahams, Secretary of the Bos- ton Central Labor Union, in a special interview with the United Press, said. today:
 ''The time is bound to come when all the States of this Union will adopt a law allowing the peaceful picketing of shops, like that in force now in Great Britain. It is mostly a ques- ton of lack of understanding. I am continually surprised at the lack of knowledge of econor1iccs of our pro- fessional men who are shut up in their little spheres of colleges or other in- stitutions and know nothing of the broad channels of life.
 ''The United States has followed and must follow in the footsteps of Great Britain in regard to labor legislation, & constitutional monarchy, whereas, the United States is republic.
 '"The English courts have realized that interference, between the employ VI their relations, has not resulted in any benefit either to the parties interest ed or to the community. The English House of Commons, a few years ago, passed a bill which would render such decisions as have been rendered by our courts in the hatters' case impos- sible CThe courts decided in favor of the hat manufacturers in their suits for damages against the striking hat ters.)
 "A British law that allowed such decisions and under which striking railroad engineers were heavily fined was repealed on motion Of MT. Shackleton, who will be remembered as having visited New England, re- gently.
 Great Britain is far ahead of the United States in labor legislation and if history repeats itself, what has oc- cured in Australia and New Zealand, will occur here"

 POLICE WANTED
Hugh Smith Admits Thefts from Plant of Bridgeport Brass Company.

Hugh Smith. a steamfitter of 1881 Main street, regrets today that all these months, while his upper teeth have been in need of attention he has neglected to visit his dentist. It was because Smith had but one solitary fang in his upper jaw that he was positively identified last night as thief, and further, that it was found among his alleged thefts. one was against the property of the father of the policeman who placed him under arrest. tfa
 Smith was pointed out to Patroiman Barton as man wnted for theft at the Bridgeport Brass Co.'S plant Bar ton gave him 8 hot chase over the lower bridge and captured him at Kossuth street. Smith protested against his arrest, and a dealer in second hand goods who had pointed him out to Barton weakened in the face of Smiths apparently righteous indignation.
 But the police were not willing to give up so easily. Captain Arnold dis patched Detectives Hackett and Hall with Smith to the second hand stores in the center of the city. One of the dealers said Smith had given him stuff the police later told him was stolen property Smith denied it.
 "Open your ,mouth,'' said the mer- chant.
 Smith tried a smile. Though the ef- fort was not altogether a success, it disclosed the solitary tooth. of course you're the fellow" said the dealer. In the face of such testimony the man weakened and later admitted he had made it a practice to steal into the Brass Co.'S shop during working hours, remain after all had gone, then help himself to tools.
 Smith was once employed in the Brass Co.'S plant. He is B.

MRS. NELSON THREATENS AS
 CHILD GOES
Girl Who Helped Mother Make False Charge Against Father is Remov- ed to Industrial School.

Take my child from me, and I'll follow you to Middletown and wreck the place, declared Mrs. James H. Nelson. wife Of a teamster at 846 East Main street, when the child was turn ed over to the custody of Mrs. Burgess, the Probation officer of the city court, for delivery to the State Industrial school for girls in Middletown, this forenoon
 The girl. B years old, has been the victim of home surroundings that the authorities deem unfit for one of her tender years. It was upon the story told by her mother that the father was arrested and thrust into jail up- on a charge that might have meant his commitment to a long term in prison When the girl was arraigned in court last Saturday 1t was learned that the charge was trumped up by the mother, who later repented and admitted her accusation was false.
 Nelson was discharged from jail. yesterday, by order of States Attorney Stiles Judson- Upon the testimony of mother and child the teamster was held for trial in the Superior court in bail of sl0000. He was unable to furnish bail and remained in jail from Dec

FUR GOAT IS
 SWINDLER'S
 BEST ASSET With Rich Looking Garment Frank Manchester Had Little Difficulty in
 Getting Credit
Lonely Without His Flora
 He Promises to Buy Her a House and Give Her $4,- 900, But Police Interfere.

"Yes, my dear, though it will be lonely without you, I'm going to take the car to New York for little spin tomorrow, and when I come back Pm going to spend day or two get ting my property in readiness for our new home. Then I'll deposit $4,000 to your credit in the New Haven Trust Co.
 'The only reason I haven't told is that I wanted to test your love. I wanted to learn whether you cared for me for myself alone, or because you thought I was as wealthy as I seemed. Now that I am convinced of your love, Pm going to do all this for you and more too"
 This is only one of a number of equally entertaining passages ex- cerpted from the epistles of one Frank Manchester, held by the police as a confidence man. Manchester was not altogether partial with his misrepre- sentations. The butcher, the baker and the automobile maker came in for their share. He was held in bail of $500 for further investigation when he was arraigned in the city court today before Judge Wilder.
 Manchester was arrested by Serge ant Webb, last evening, when one of the firm of Lyford Bros, East Bridge port clothers, pointed him out to the police officer as a suspicious charac- ter It developed after Manchester s arrest that he has been posing as Q young man of wealth and had been obtaining liberal credit in many quarters as a result of his successful pose.
 Manchester is not very talkative 0 h Ia huc fod ho for some time he has made his home with his mother at 1914 Stratford avenue, also that he is not at all wealthy.
 He obtained credit at the store of Lyford Bros. by representing himself of property in the East End. He spoke of his plans to build his new home. Then he got credit for cloth ing, including a fur coet, a suit of clothes and incidcntals amounting to nearly $40. The fur coat, he prompt ly piac .L in pawn.
 Among his other creditors are G. V & A. L. S-ev Tt fir ,in wh m he bought gre ceries, two opticians from whom he bought lenses, Goldberg s paint store, L1cius N. Tomlinson, 3 jeweler, Stratford avenue, l.. B. Car stesen, and several others. The care less display of his fur coat gave him prestige with the merchants.
 When Manchester IS sea1 ched at police headquarters his love missives were discovered. One ready to mail, contained the passage quoted above.
 It was addressed to Miss Flora Fa- dette, P. o. Box ss6, Willingford, Conn.
 Flora was gently chided for her fathers lack of interest in Manches- ter He also included in the letter subtle hint that his own family didn't like the idea of his keeping company with such a poor girl as Flora. But he assured her that no matter what might happen he would be true. Manchester says he is a poiisher, a native of Waterbury. He has been known as Bert Manchester George Manchester and George Mans field. He is about 27. The police be- lieve he is wanted elsewhere.

A FAMOUS SOUP.
Grandma Deprez Made It and Never
 Told How.

Shelbyville, Ind, up until about twenty years ago was the toughest town in the United States. To-day Shelbyville has long since lapsed into a normal state of virtue-perhaps above normal The town proper al- ways did have a very large number of people of goodness above par

 The name Deprez appears frequent ly on the signboards of the factories stores. warehouses and county land records of the community, the orig lnal settler by the name having be- begat many sons, and all of great heritage and prosperity.

 It was of her origin--Grandma Deprez had not learned it out of book-or out of a newspaper.
 Among many generations of house. wives in Shelby county Grandma De- prez's mock turtle sofp has been the object of imitation. The recipe was long sought for but never given out. These imitators followed her about as she did her marketing for these semi annual soup feasts, but all they learn ed was that the base involved eight calves heads that the favoring con sisted of spices and bay leaves and that two dozen lemons were involved somewhere in the process.
 But the limitations bore about the same relation to the original as a lead quarter does to real money.
 The particular eight gallon iron pot in which made it was sought by her imitators after her earthly passing, in the belief that this vessel had a bear ing on the production of this partic ularly delicious flavor. but the secret went with her. and this wonderful soup is now but memory. strong in the minds of those few so fortunate as to have partaken of it.-Cottrell's
