Pension Comes Too Late.

Leechburg, Pa.-After working for
the past fifteen years in an effort to
get pension. Mrs. Isaac Novinger,
aged seyenty-eight years, one OF the
Oldest residents of this place, was
successful. But the pension came too
late. Mrs. Noyinger died at her home
from old age.

Novinger was one of the first men to
answer his country's call. After an
honorable service he returned home
at the close of the war. Sixteen years
ago he died. Since that time his
widow has been trying to secure a
pension The pension papers were
signed a week ago and the check
amounting to s712. arrived here. But
u was several hours too late.

PARCELS posi-.

The people of this country are labor
ing under the influence OF several fall
acies III regard to the Parcels Post
question. Only one side has even been
presented TO the consuming public, ow'
ing to the fact that the mail order pub
lications are interested in getting the
local parcels post bill through to build
up the mail order houses as naturally
the more the farmers order by mail
the more the mail order interests feel
justified in spending for advertising in
farm papers, and SO the system grows
by what it feeds on
The idea has become prevalent that
there is very little opposition to the
parcels post, and while to certain ex.
tent that is a fact. nevertheless there
are more than million and half mer
camille concerns in this country that
are opposed to it.
The bin that is now before congress
asks for a local rural parcels post
sys That is, the government is
being asked to transport packages of
about eleven pounds in weight along
the rural routes. but this package must
start, il Uncle Sam is going to carry
it, at the local rural free delivery CEN
tral station, which in short is asking
a subsidy to help the retail mail order
houses of the country develop at the
expense of the small towns.
The census returns are now coming
in and these returns indicate that the

psIIa cIarks In aIntroduee Ms.r


Reports from the places where Della
Clarke's new comedy, Introduce Me.
has been presented indicates that it
will be as welcome az attraction as
will visit this city during the season.
In reviewing the piece an exchange
says
"The biting jest which an migrate
ful and vicious weather department
handed this city yesterday prevented
but a small crowd OF theatre goers
from witnessing Introduce Me" as
presented at the Academy of Music
matinees and evening. This is largely
to be regretted inasmuch as the show
is an exceptionally clever one, well
staged and carried by an admirably
well-balanced cast Miss Clarke au-
thoress as well as star, deserves great
commendation in both capacities and
her support played with Spartan in
difference to adverse conditions.
Miss Clarke's acting was quite up to-
the considerable reputation she en-
Joys and her own determination in
fused each and every member of the
cast. Not sign of soldering could
be observed in either performance
which indicates splendid pluck on the
part of those buffeted by wintry fate
Miss Clarke's role-that of the some
what neglected wife who, unbeknow-
est to her husband, wins great liter
airy success under the cover of a non
de plume is a broader one than that
of the Indian maiden in which we last
saw her. Tenderness, Yivacity, com
mon sense and behind all a thorough
yet quite feminine efficiency were. apt
ly portrayed. The Interpretation of
the role was doubtless immensely aid
ed from the fact that its creator was
playing it but aside from this there
was ample evidence of a very thorough
study of the possibilities. On proper
occasions the conscientiousness with
which the part was played throughout
rose to genuine brilliance showing
very real emotional power-the kind
that grips the audience and sweeps
it out of itself
Folks interested in the stage might
as well make up their minds to keep
an eye upon Miss Clarke. In The
White Squaw7 she demonstrated
that she has imagination, the truest
sensibility. the genuine constructive
talent But Introduce Me" is leagues
in advance of the earlier effort The
Imagination is surer, the sensibility
more appreciatiye, the constructive
power stronger. The situations are
evolved with delightful naturalness
and the lines fit them to a ct" It'll
goes without saying that the offering
is as pure and wholesome as a spring
flower.
1t is a great pity that Introduce
Me" cannot double back this way be-
fore the warm weather in order that
the theatre-goers at large may have
an opportunity to enjoy it unobstruct-
ed by a driving sleet, two inches of
slush and a dangerous slippery pave
ment. Intrinsically the play is in
teresting and it contains the brightest
of promise with regard to what its gift
ed authoress may yet have in store for
her public.
Introduce Me" comes to the Grand
Thursday. April 18th.

that Lyman was giving his person
