light to guide lovers, souls Of ancient
soldiers. the devils snare to tempt
wanderers to death. In their light of
magic gold with a tint of emerald

sorrows of broken hearts, the ever
lasting spirits of warriors, but most
of all the joy Of love and lovers.

At the Theatres

There is plenty of real novelty in
the show which opened at the Garrick
theatre yesterday. Mile. Tooney's

of the interesting features of the bill
and other novelty numbers arc offer
ed by the Juggling Johns. two young
men who do really remarkable work
along this line; Louis NJ. Granat the
whistler, and Don, the pony with hui
man brains, who is made to go
through a variety of stunts that are
highly creditable, and which makes a
particularly pleasing act for the
young folks. James Kelso and
Blanche Leighton have comedy

Bergamasco Trio offer a musical
number that came very near prov

harmony of the trio is very, very
pleasing. Miss Margaret Pitt and
Company present Tips on Tap"
story Of the race track. Miss Pitt
is too well known here to require any
introduction to local playgoers and
she was accorded a warm reception
yesterday. Tips on Tap" is a sketch
OF real merit. and considering that IL
is new it moved along very smoothly
yesterday. There is plenty of comedy
in it, and altogether il appears to be
one of the very best things Miss Pitt
has yet tried out in vaudeville.

HISTORIANS
TALK BUILDING
Pennsylvania Tells LEGAL So
Clety Of Purposes Of
Organization
RELATES ANECDOTES
OF HIS OWN EXPERIENCE

With interest additionally keen be-
cause of Delaware's hopes of acquir-
ing a new Historical Society build
ing, the members Of the Delaware
Historical Society listened last even
ing to an instructive talk on "The
Housing of a Historical Society and
How to Secure a Building" by John
w. Jordan, librarian Of the Histori-
cal Society Of Pennsylvania. Mr..
Jordan said the close connection be-
tween Pennsylvania and Delaware
history would give Pennsylvania his
torians a practical reason for en-
couraging any developments of the
Delaware society.
Mr.. Jordan said Delaware should
have a new and safe building so that
people would not hesitate to trust
valuable papers and relics to its col
lections. Among proper duties of the
society he mentioned a survey of the
archaeology and ethnology of the
state; the obtaining o. county. town,
church and school records; diaries
and other manuscripts. files of local
newspapers and the holding of popu-
lar lectures. placing of memorial tab
lets, historic pilgrimages. and acting
as an historical intelligence bureau.
He warned them that not everything
that was old was necessarily of his
tOric value.
Among amusing things in his own
experience, Mr.. Jordan related vari-
GUS anecdotes.
