Who Uses Mails to Play
Franks on Them and
A. p. Hall.

The attention of the postal and
other authorities here has been called
to an affair or rather complication of
anairs. that is, to say the least,
unique.
For the last several days. A. p.
Hall, manager of tho Cadenza orches-
ira, has been receiving vast quanti-
ties of mail, not only first class but
also papers. circulars, catalogues and
the like. In fact, so heavy became
the inflow of mail that at times he
was unable to carry all of it from the
postofice and he has had to resort to
requistion mail sack from the
clerks.
Natter the first day of so the matter
became worthy Of investigation, as Mr..
Hall had made no request for tho var
iuos samples" he was receiving.
Some humorlst among local musicians
was finally suspected as having writ
ten for samples. catalogues, etc"
signing "a. p. Hall" to his commun-
icatfon. Who ever perpetrated the
so-called Joke must have expended
from IS to $40 for the necessary post
age. The idea of it's being mus
ician was abandoned as it would take
coal chisel to pry as much as five
cents from one of them.
In the meantime complications be-
gan to arise Travelling men repre-
senting various firms are daily call
ing on Mr.. Hall at the Cadenza, and
their Introductory remarks are of tho
same import: "The firm has mailed
literature. but thought it best to have
a representative call in person.
When Mr.. Hall explains the Joke" to
the commercial men, naturally. they
can not see it,
The latest variation in the Joke"
took place at the Waldo this morning,
when a half dozen travelling sales
non with blood in their respective
eyes, held meeting and contributed
to fund which will be offered as a
reward for the apprehension Of the
party or parties with the perverted
sense OF humor.

A man living a life closely akin

Egyptian Mindreader
Mysti6es at Heuck $

Pearl langley, the Egyptian
Seeress. who is featured with the
Great Baker Co.. at Heuck's this
week. certainly proved to those
present Monday evening, that she
well deserved the title. This WON
derful lady whose mental powers
have puzzled scientists for the past
ten years, succeeded in reading
the thoughts Of those in the audi
ence, and answered all sorts Of
questions, some were anwsered in
q manner that the questioher did
not expect. One lady asked t'Is
my husband trueY" Pearl answer
ed. Yes, and you should not ask
me such question. as you yourself
was out with gentleman last
Wednesday evening, and / would
advise you to be more true to him
il you desire happiness in the
future. y The lady was somewhat
surprised at the answer.
Several months ago Pearl was in
strumental IN solving or furnishing
evidence that convicted John Will
son, Of Connersville, Ind, for wife
murder, also solved the Dixon
forged will case at Jonesboro.
Ark. traced and located the MUIR
derer Of Mr.. Evans. paymaster of
the Muskegon Mines. at GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, who was shot and robbed Of
the entire pay roll of the mines.
Last evening she read the names
and questions Of the questioner
with ease, and ut no time were the
questions in contact with her, as is
generally the case in other so-called
mind-reading demonstr 10 s.
Many questions of local interest
will be asked her and will be
answered tonight.
Baker, the Hynotist. certainly
handled his subjects well, and kept
the audience in an uproar of
laughter throughout his demonstra-
tions. Perhaps the most laughable
stunt was that in which one young
man imagined he was a mother,
another baby, and the antics of
the mother in trying to sooth the
baby were funny indeed.
/ Nine. langley also gave a series
of electrical tests that were very,
very interesting. She carries a
very elaborate setting Of electrical
apparatus, in which she raised
the city current of 10 volts to over
Sc, 900 volts, and allowed this cur
rent to pass through her body in
many cases. Sparks were drawn
from her finger tips, owing to the
high charges of her body. She
was strapped to an electric chair, q
duplicate of the electrocution chair
used at Sing-Sing prison. and
allowed enough current to pass
through her body, to Kill ten ordi-
nary persons. The crowd was
much larger Tuesday evening, and
Iproves the favor this attraction is
Injecting with.

There was large attendance Of

The officers Of the club served
on committees. Mrs. Connally and
Mrs. Schumpert receiving at the

McVoy in the dining room, where

over messaline, with theatre bon

cordially greeted by Brookhaven
friends, both old and new. She
was attended by the hostess, Mrs.
ButtertieId, whose rare personal
charm lends a glow to all occasions
that are fortunate enough to claim
her presence.
At the close of social hour, the
scene shifted; adieux were said,
and only a happy memory remained
of a social observance that had
performed Its mission in gracious
courtesy. the like of which tends to
strengthen ties of friendship, 10y

LILLY TALKS on AUTOS.
One Of The Greatest Ilandicaps to Lady
Drivers Is Now Eliminated.

"Cranking the motor has always
been the greatest handicap to
women drivers of gasoline cars"
says Mr.. Albert A. Lilly, of LilIy's
Garage, who sells Chalmers cars
locally. Women have always OBJ
jected. even if they had the
strength to crank q car, to this
operation. There is something
about cranking a motor which is
inconsistent with the dress. habits
and temperament of womankind.
Cranking. alone. has made many
women who would prefer to drive
gasoline cars. adhere to the elec-
trio.
"Thls time is now past. With
the introduction of a simple. eff
cient and reliable compressed air
self-starter. such as that used on
the Chalmers 'Thirty-six. woman
may now handle a gasoline car
quite as easily as an electric. The
Chalmers self-starter requires only
the push of a button to start the
motor. The Chalmers single pedal
control and easily operated gear
shift mechanism also add much to
the attractiveness OF these cars to
women drivers.
Next to cranking the motor,
women have always most dreaded
tire trouble. Changing a tire is
work which very few women can
handle. Tire trouble is another
bugbear which does not haunt the
driver OF a Chalmers 'Thirry-six.
In the first place this car is equip.
ped with demountable rims. which
come as near to eliminating tire
trouble as anything can.
In connection with the self
starter there is also a tire inflater.
which obviates the necessity for
using the tiresome pump. Punc-
lures and blow-outs have no terrors
for the driver Of Chalmers
Thirty-six.' Women who have
examined this car pronounce it the
ideal gasoline car for women.
Those who are driving it have
found it to have all Of the advan-
tages of ease Of control and cleanli-
ness Of the electric. and at the
same time an additional room,
power. speed and tlexibiIity Of the
gasoline car. There Is no question
but what the compressed air self
starter and tire inflater. demounta-
BILE rims and single pedal control.
have done much to convert women
drivers to the gasoline car. n
