COMPANY STRANDED.
Manager Skips Out and Leaves
Theatrical Troupe Without
Funds.

Members of the Herald Square
which gave several performances at
Phillips Hall last week, found them
selves in a serious predicament Sat-
urday night. The proposition, not
raving proved very successful, and
apparently not giving promise of
doing SO in the near future, the
hacker, promoter, owner, manager,
etc., H. X. Wellington. said to
hail from Lewes, Del, left town
Wednesday afternoon, stating that
he was going to Hurlock to book
that place for the show, and promis-
ing to return that night, but instead
the members of the Company waited
anxiously that night, the next day,
and until Saturday night, without
seeing anything of him, and as
their pay was overdue, they were
left in the hole. The audiences at
the entertainment the last three
nights of the week were very small,
and the receipts were said to have
been not more than $40 night, and
as there were seven members of
the Company to be paid and board
ed, and the rent for the Hall was
to be taken out of these receipts,
t will be seen that no funds were
available.

WENT FOX HUNTING.
Ardent Sportsman Succeeded in
Tleeing Yellow Cat.

According to the reports of a
friend, a well-known knight of the
road, who lives in Cambridge, had
a thrilling experience last Saturday,
when he went down into Town
Point to have little fun fox hunt
ing. His dogs were already there,
and as soon as he had arrived and
taken the harness off of the horse
which he was driving and put sad
die on in it's place, he was ready for
the sport, but just as he put his
foot into the stirrup for the pur-
pose of mounting, the lady of the
house came out and wanted to
know who was going to. pay for the
guinea eggs that the dogs had
broken. After settling this ques-
ton, the hunt started,and the dogs
struck a trail without any loss of
time and soon trailed the prey
across the field to a tree, which it
climbed hurriedly. Examination
proved that they had freed a yell
low cat, and one of the dogs, dis
gusted hurried back to the house.
The ardent hunter soon turned his
horse in that direction, but was ac-
costed upon his return to know who
was going to pay for the little
guineas that one of the dogs had
Just killed. 1t is needless to say
that he did not walt for the gen.
tleman he had promised to bring to
town, but instead, hurried back to
Cambridge as fast as he could.

Stand By Wilson.

The Republican standpatters, Hen
ry Allen writes, are beginning to
deplore tariff action by unskilled
Congressman and to urge scientific
revision" by an expert board.
Their game always is to be for
the other thing than that which
promises immediate relief. So long
as they were in control of Congress
they scoffed at the idea of a board
and revised the tariff in the inter-
est of favored industries Now that
they have been pried loose from
the control they are for anything to
delav action.
The tariff beneficiaries blocked
every effort to revise duties down
ward in the light of information
supplied by exper,s. Now the coun-
try is insisting on a radical opera
ton to cut away the excrescences of
the last half century's growth. That
can properly be followed by further
pruning under the direction of
tariff board.
But this is the time for immedi-
ate action.-Kansas City Star.

How 10 keep CIu Clean.

Baltimore has started it's war on
flies and mosquitoes. Over 10000
notices to citizens were sent out by
DR.. Nathan R. Gorter, health COM
missioner. The notice, which is a
good one for every city or town to
take to heart, is as follows:
To clean a city and keep it clean
IS possible only when every one
does his duty. You will help to
Keep the city clean by keeping your
house and yard clean.
Garbage-You will help to keep
the city health by not allowing any
garbage to lie around your house
and yard, but keep it in covered
receptacles.
Flies-Catch and destroy all
flies. Begin now and keep it up
during the entire summer. One fly
destroyed now is worth thousands
destroyed later on.
Mosquitoes-destroy all mosqui-
toes you can. Do not permit water
to stand in vessels without a we'll
fitting cover. Pour one pint of
kerosene in privy well every week.
If you leave your home for more
than five days, pour a good layer of
oil on all water traps, and turn up
side down all empty vessels expos
ed to rain.

A DISASTROUS FIRE.
Green's Opera House and Store,
JOhnson's Store and Several
Residences De. trOyed
BY Fire.

AS the result of fire that was
discovered Sunday morning, about
three o'clock, and which is believed
to have started in the grocery and
confectionery store of VIM. l. Green,
which was located in one end of
the building known as Green's
Opera House, or in the Opera House
proper, property to the value of
more than $4,000 was destroyed.
A strong wind was blowing at the
time the fire was discovered, and
this prevented many of the fire.
men from hearing the alarms, which
were given both by the ringing of
the fire bell and the blowing of the
whistle of the Cambridge Water Co.
AS the buildings were of frame
construction, the wind simply fam
ed the flames and made it almost
impossible to extinguish them while
the close proximity of the other
buildings prevented the firemen
from keeping the fire confined to
the one building. The store of Jos.
Johnson, which adjoined the Opera
House, was the second building to
catch, and this burned so rapidly
that the family made a narrow es-
cape. On the other side of the
building the residences of Mary
Jane Jews, David Stanley and S. E.
w. Camper, all colored,were burned.
AS stated above, on account OF
the strong wind blowing at the
time, the firemen had a hard fight,
and were fortunate in being able to
save other property from destruc-
ton, as hte sparks and burning
pieces of wood were blown for a
considerable distance; in fact,it was
reported that the burning brands
blew across to Race street and set
the store of Mr.. Oscar c. Moore and
the blacksmith shop of Mr.. VIM.
Simmons on fire. a..
The opera house and burned prop
erty is all located on Pine street,
near Washington. The loss is said
to exceed $4,000, upon which there
is supposed to be from $1,000 to
$4,000 insurance.

Paint Better

Better isn't enough; paint best.
A man bought Cheap" paint; saw
ed zoe. or 80 or 40 or SOC. gal
Ion, didn't he?
Yes, and bought 40 or SO or 60
or 80 percent more gallons; how
much did he make on his paint?
And he paid for painting those
gallons-a fair days work is a gal
lon-how much did he make on
the labor part of his job?
He lost a quarter or third of his
money.
How long will 1t last? not his
money, the paint?
Perhaps half as long as Devoe.
How long will his money last, if

that paint?
Better buy the best paint; it
makes the least bill and least-often.

Gold Medal For Best Composition

A gold medal to the school boy OF
girl, between the ages of 10 and
15,who writes the best composition,
not to exceed 500 words, on the
repair and maintenance of earth
roads, is to be awarded by Logan
Waller Page, Director, office of
Public Roads, United States De-
Iartment of Agriculture, Washing
ton, D. C. All compositions must
be submitted to Mr.. Page before
May Is, 1913, and the medal will
be awarded as soon thereafter as
the compositions can be graded. The
composition may be based on know
ledge gained from books or other
sources, but no quotations should
be made.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the dis
advantages of roads made impas-
sable through lack of proper main
tenance and it is expected that
their interest in the competition will
stimulate greater interest among
the parents. Bad roads have pre-
vented many children from obtain
ing a proper education, and have
even prevented doctors from reach
ing the side of rural patients in
time to save their lives.
Any child between the ages men
toned, attending a country school,
may compete. Only one side of the
paper must be written on; each
page should be numbered; the
rame. age. and address of the writ
er, and the name and location of
the school which he or she is at
tending, must be plainly written at
the top of the first page. The an
nouncement of the competition has
been\sent to the superintendent of
schools in the rural districts. No
further information can be obtained
from the office of Public Roads.
This announcement should be plain
to everyone, and all children will
thus start on basis of equality.

A!qa School Play.

MEN and Maids of the U. S. A., :"
which was a complete success at
Harrisburg, will be given by the
High School, under the direction of
Miss E. May Bookwalter.
(Harrisburg Telegraph.)
Handsome men and winsome
maids, students of the Central
High School made two most sue
cessful conquests of realms theatri-
cal yesterday afternoon and even
ing, when they gave their "Men
and Maids of the U. S. A. histori-
cal, mayhap, as to foundation OF
plot" but certainly scintillating
with all the best, brightest and High
schooliest gems of Harrisburg. The
theatre was pungent with spirit
that always accompanies an amateur
play, and particularly school play.
Boxes, decorated with pennants of
local institutions. gridiron opponents
of the boys who paced the boards,
the box party of 1913 and the high
er party of 1912, all these touches
helped to bring the stage nearer the
auditorium and the players nearer
the audience.
The time represented in the first
act was the year umpty seven, with
Hiawatha and Minnehaha as the
principal interesting young people OF
that day. Miss Mildred Conkling
Blue Waters, and the fun of the
evening got an excellent start. The
chorus with Miss !Conkling landed
the house, and soon landed propiti-
ously in the second act as Puritans
headed by John Alden (Wilbur
Towsen) and Priscilla miss Laura
Kingsbury. Lawrence Shepley play
ed Miles Standish, and the comedy
work was finely handled by Miss
Helen Shaver and Dixon Garner, who
did for their turn choppy little
duet.
The act closed with Dixon Gar
ner's Don't Do So Now song, and
his cheerful illusions to Tech or
chestra and Steelton football were
variously received.
The men and maids next disclos-
ed to view were Colonial. Their
minuet was probably the charming
picture of the evening, and David
Brenisholtz's Yankee boys with an
other good hand for their natty cos
tunes and knee high drill. Leon
Zimmerman's liberty bell and a
wheel By the chorus made a patri-
otto finish.
Winston Churchill and 1.-THE Cri-
sis furnished the characters for
the fourth act and enabled Harold
Clark to win rounds of applause as
a handsome soldier man, and Miss
Lulu Weber, Virginia Carvel, from
her former lover. Nest popular was
the banjo specially with ''vodevil"
trimmings as done by a flock Of
plantation song birds.
A look that seemed too brief was
given for the last act at all the men
and maids as they appear in even
ing dress and at banquet. Toasts
and stories and day dreams by the
Saskatchewan. THE suffragette
chorus furnished little fun, rand
applause greeted the line which
said, 'Now we, will have some real
entertainment"

The question is who are for and
who are against the principles and
pledges of the Democratic party?
The Democratic party prevailed
against special interests at Balti-
more in July last; it prevailed
against special interests at the polls
in November last, and the Senator,
elected as a Democrat, who now
stands out against the will of the
party, against a principle of the
party is clearly traitor to the
party. If he stands out against
this tariff bill he is not standing
against President Wilson, but
against the whole loyal Democracy.
That should be clearly understood.

 The doctor was called in, and his treat ment relieved me for while, but l was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. had gotten so weak could not stand, and gave up in despair.
 At last, my husband got me bottle of Cardui, the woman's tonic, and l con- menced taking it. From the very first dose, l could tell it was helping me. can now walk two miles without its tiring me, and am doing my work"
 If you are all run down from womanly troubles, don't give up in despair. Try Cardui, the woman's tonic. It has helped years of wonderful success, and should surely help you, too. Your druggist has sold Cardui for years. He knows what it will do. Ask him. He will recom- mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.

AUDAS SENTENCED
 TO STATE PRISON. Youthful Forgerer is Found Guilty and Given indefinite Term In Penitentiary. Was Not First
 OffenSe.

William AuduS, who was arrested at Ntorenci on a charge of forgery some time since, was brought for trial before Judge Laine of the Superior Court last week, and sentenced to serve a term of not less than one year, nor more than fourteen years, in the state prison.
 This was not the first offense of Audas, he having committed forgery in Morenci some months before con- hitting the forgery for which he was convicted and sentenced to the peni- tentiary. For the first offnese Audas was confined in jail for a short while. the Court taking into consideration his youthful age, which is about twen- ty years
 It was proven at the trial last week that AudaS has borne an unenyiable reputation for several years, being charged with several minor offenses committed in this section and towns in the western part of the state. Audas has resided in the Clifton sec tion about ten years, his parents for merly residing here, but are now liv- ing at Phoenix.
 The specific offense for which he was sentenced this week was forging check being cashed by A. l.. Works of Morenci.
 Judge Laine expressed a wish tc exercise mercy in the sentence o1 Audas at the trial, but in view of the prisoners persistence in crime, was compelled to pass sentence of rigor

consequent increase of telephone calls = only repetition of other conven- tions we have handled, and will have to handle in the future. Our plant investment has always been and must always be. sufficient to take care of not only the usual daily business, but the maximum number of calls that come to CIT switchboards. This is true not only of Denver and other large centerS but cf each one of our exchanges throughout the territory. Every telephone call must be handled as a unit.
