'0LD CONGRESS HALL
Story Of a Historic Philadelphia
Structure.
Third Session Of the First Congress Of
the U. S. Met There, House Of
Representatives on First Floor
and Senate Second.

Philadelphia. With the restoration
and approaching rededication of Con
gress Hall" it is worth while recalling
that the idea Of the erection of the
building destined for SO glorious his
tory originated with that celebrated
lawyer, Andrew Hamilton, whose ef-
forts had previously secured the State
House, or independence Hall" AS
early as 1886, Hamilton effected the
passage of a resolution in the Assem-
bly, Of Pennsylvania, providing for the
erection of a building for the use Of
the county Of Philadelphia, to be used
for Fthe holding of Courts" and as
common hail. The project advanced
slowly, and when finally carried for
ward to completion, two different
funds were used for the purpose. The
first Of these had a curious origin;
1t would seem that the early may
ors of the city cherished a time hon1
ored custom OF celebrating their es-
cape from the 4aD0fs ana responslDu-
tiles of office by giving a public ban
Quet, to which their constituents we're
invited. In 1741, the son Of Andrew
Hamilton considered the ancient GUS
tom Of more value in breach than In
the observance, and in lieu Of the en-
tertainment, donated the sum Of one
hundred and fifty pounds, to be used
toward the erection of an exchange or
similar building for public purposes.
Subsequent mayors followed his ex-
ample.
The second fund was raised in 1885
by the sale Of the old gaol apd work
house" which overlooked the yard Of
the State House, or Independence
Square On the goth Of March, 1887.
is feet were added to the depth Of the
lot by an act of the assembly. Soon
afterward work was commenced upon
the cellar by gangs of conyicts called
"wheelbarrow men" The building
was finally completed in the spring

size and stamp in cross-stitch design.
Work the cross-stitching in several
shades of blue and edge the center

Small Fruit Matters.

During the fall and winter is a good
time to begin preparation for the set
ting Of the strawberry bed next
spring, or those bush fruits that
should be found in every garden.
Late fall blowing is advantageous. It
tends to the destruction of insect life.
Fall plowed land is. as rule, in a
workable condition In the spring
ahead Of unplowed land.
The action of the elements will
make the soil more friable. Because
OF these two points gained, the mois-
tIre, contents and conserving power
Of the soil viii be increased.

Where He Was Lucky.

Two Little Rock negroes engaged in
q quarrel, when one struck the other

Would b informed.

Maria had been naughty at the din
ner table and her mother had sent
her into the next room to remain un-
til she was sorry for her behavior.
Marie cheerfully complied. Making
no expression Of repentance after a
suitable time had elapsed, her mother
called from an adjoining room:
Marie, dear, aren't you sorry?"
No answer. On a repetition of the
question, however, Marie replied, with
a sweet and patient dignity:
Mamma, please don't ask me any
more. III tell you when I'm sorry"

Sousa and Creatore in the act of the Musical KIeises at the Plaza. The indescrib able gyrations and physical pyrotechnics of Creatore, even to the
 shaking of his untameaSle shock of hair, are reproduced with Remarkable fidelity, while the characteristic move ments of Sousa are strikingly natural. When the little fellow plays the xylo- phone as few men can play it, he puts a fire and dash intos his work which is simply frresist tible, and the audience
 seems disposed to keep him at 1t.
 To-morrow's bill will bring to the Plaza Arthur Terry, who for nine years was the goYeriment's chief in terpreter in all the Indian cases in the Western states and later among the Alaskan people. He is a famous ranchman and cattle raiser and speaks nine Indian dialects. With his part ner, Miss Schultz, his act at the Plaza will include a, remarkable exhibition of lariat-throwing and roping, combin- ed with comedy and musical features which make it one of the real novel ties of ithe season. Between them and Ali Rajah, the Egyptian mind-reader and telepathist, who seems to pene- trate easily the minds of everyone in his audiences, it promises to be a nip and-tuck race for popular favor during the last three days of this week at the Plaza.

WANTS PAPER TO
 BE PUBLISHED BY
 THE GOVERN MENT

New York, Jan. 2e--A real national vassnkfy, to be published at the govern Tnent's expense and to be circuIa ted to every voter in the United States is ad- vocated by Rudolph H. Spreck1es, the California millionaire, in a letter to resident-elect Wilson
 SpreckIes, who organized the Repub- Hcang Progressive Wilson clubs during the recent campaign, says in his let ter that the people are not taking thought in the conduct Of the govern ment They fail to understand what is going on, he says. because the atti- Eude of officials is nlisrepresented. So he would have a weekly newspaper published at government expense and sent to all voters, giving the actual news of every department of govern menf.
 The acts of the President would be explained by that official and so down incline. Cabinet officials would tell why they were doing certain things and this would be especially useful it is claimed by Spreckles in the cases of the secretary of the interior treasury and agriculture, the three departments that are most under fire during the year
 The position taken by Spreekles is that such newspaper would give badly needed information to the peo- De -t%-~s sE

ATTRACTIONS Al 1.-THE THEATRES
DAVID HARUM WELCOME
 GUEST OF LYRIC PATRONS
Quaint Play Admirably Enacted By Well Balanced Cast.

David Haruna not only inSbook form but in drama. has made an appeal to the very heart strings of all human ity. It is at once quaintiy pathetic, humorous and inspiring. It is a cur ious mixture of the inborn traits of the real American, and While it has already been witnessed by hundreds of thouSands of theatre-goers in the United States it never fails to attract the second time, and is destined to last long in the annals of stagedom.
 This was again evidenced by the large audience which witnessed it's production in Bridgeport yesterday af- ternoon by the Eleanor Cleveland Stock Company at the Lyric Theatre, tion was accorded it's initial perform ance.
 With Edward Nannery in the title role backed by three acts of superior stage setting and cast which had given unusual care to the minor de- tails, there was a, warmth and real ity to the offering which will go a. long way towards making stock pro
 duction endure in Bridgeport.
 Edward Nannery as David Harum displayed marked powers of character ization and impressively portrayed, with keen sense of proportion, vary ing degrees of humor and palthos. He
 was markedly proficient in approacf- ing his cI1maxes without overacting. Mary Greyber, as Mary Blake, pre- l sented 9. sweetly charming picture of gdrIish ingenuousness, leaving a de- cided impression of the latent talent which promises to yet place her in leading stock roles.
 Clifford Bruce, while not accorded full opportunity to display his power of versatility, was notable for the easy grace of manner, speech and car l riage w11ich gives hdm the distinction he has justly attained in his profes- sion.
 Leslie King as General Wolsey again manifested the underlying fund of originality which accords him the dis tfnction of being a, master in charac- ter parts Opposed to him and equal ly entitled to praise is the clever Mar garet Lewis, as Widow Cul1um, whose character work is too well known to need special note at tlis time.
 Gertrude Maitland as Aunt Polly l Bixbee was inspiring in her role of the trusting wife. Wilbur Williams as Zele SWinney, and Max Won Mitzel as Deacon Perkins ren4dered addd dtiona1 interest in character parts of unusual depth, while Allen Schrock appeared huEnorousIy as Amos Bright 9th CTS in the cast deserving mention are Ben Southard, Charles Jewett, Joseph Raymond and Bert Robinson
 David Earum presented by this array, almost specializing in their re- spective parts, will not fail to appeal during the remainder of the week and large houses may be expected.

Husband and Wife Both
 Saved From Suffering

wish to tell you the good results myself and husband received from pr. k1lmer's Swamp Root. About eleven years ago had a severe attack of La rippe and was confined to my bed about eight weeks under the doctors care He pronounced my case kidney trouble and rheun atism and not re- ce1ving the results from the doctors treatment I should have received, I decided to try Swamp-Root After taking several bottles of Swamp-Root I was able to get up and attend to my work About a year later my hus- band was affected with a severe at tack of kidney trouble and doctored for some time with the doctors and received no benefit. Knowing of the good I had received, he decided to try Swamp Root. His condition was such that he was eAnfned to his bed and words cann0t tell l1DrVzhe s11ffere d but after taking Swamp he was relieved so he could go on with his work without pain.

PARK THEATRE
JoHN DREW.

The appearance of John Drew in the b,rightest comedy he has had for many seasons, t"The Perplexed Husbamd,'' by Alfred Sutro, will be at the Park Theatre this evening. The English playwright, whose last success in this country was with t'The Walls of Jer- icho', scored a tremendous success with his latest play in London and duplicated it in New York when MT. Drew used it at the Empire Theatre. The press and Mir DreW's following alike said that as the husband in the case he afforded a, remarkably anus ing role which seemed to have been created for him. Yet, though it gives him fine comedy material, there are several scenes of genuine feeling which makes demands on his skill as a dramatic artist. The play is fault lessly cast. With MT. Drew are such well known players as Mary Roland, Hubert Druce, Alice John, Margaret Watson. and Walter Soldering.
