BUSY Ivy.
Coming to the Grand Next Saturday
Matinee and Night.

Anyone who has ever seen George
Sidney as ''Izzy,' the funny little He
brew, will recognize what may be ex-
pected when. he comes in his best of
all fun shows, the 1913 edition of
Busy Izzy.''
SIdneyS reputation as a laugh maxi
er has been made with surroundings
of pretty girls and excellent comedi-
ans, rich wardrobe, and slightly seem
cry, catchy music and a big chorus to
sing it, novel dances and experts to
carry them out and that is just what
he will be in the midst of them when
BUSY Ivy comes to town Saturday
matinee and night.
In this novel entertainm Izzy
will first be seen as the proprietor of
big department store, where much
is sold and nothing is paid for, then
When he sees that is no good way, he
will trade the store for a swell hotel
and run it for the pleasure of his
friends. Truly this is a plot, but not
an intricate one, and when we stop
to think of the things we have seen
Izzy do in the past, we can conjure
up fancies of the things to be which
will make us want to be there when
1zzy gets real busy. The company is
a large one headed by the talented
comedienne, Miss Carrie Weber, and
in addition such well known funsters

TOO MANY HANDS.
Gov. Wilson SHES at Reception on
Inauguration Night.

Trenton, Jan. 27.@President-ele elect
Wilson heard today of the suggestion
to hold a reception in the White
House instead of the capitol the
night of his inauguration, but he
does not think the plan, practicable.
81 have no formal intimation of
it," he said, but friends told me it
would be hardl ypossible to hold a
reception at the White House that
night as there probably will be 100,
0G0 people in the city of Washington
at that time, and of course, l don't
think a reception on that evening
shoulud be by invitation.
The governor got back to the state
house today after spending the week
end with friends in Hoboken- He said
the conference there yesterday of So
cia1 workers ca me as a surprise to
him. He understood, he said, that
some of those present had been ac-
lively interested in drafting the So
cial welfare planks of the national
Progressive party's platform.
1T all interested me very much and
1 was glad to have the opportunity
to hear the views expressed" he re-
marked. A delegate from the Farm
ers' Union OF America presented the
name of c. S. Barrett of Georgia for
the portfolio of secretary of agricul-
ture. He is president of the farmers
union.

NO TIPS FROM U. S.
Captain Hanna Must Pay Them From
Own Pocket.

New York, Jan. 27.-Captain Mat
thew E. Hanna, q. S. A, who recently
resigned from the army to enter bust
ness in this city, has discovered that
the government does not believe in
tips. Captain Hanna, as a member
of the general staff, witnessed the
German army maneuvers as guest of
the emperor in 1911, and on his visit
spent $S0.45 in tips to walters and
hotel servants. 1t was said that the
total bill of 1919 which he turned in
was only half of what it cost him to
maintain his part of the dignity of the
United States representative during his
visit and in this he had included the
tipping items. After considerable cor
respondence the treasury department
has finally ruled that Captain Hanna
must stand the tipping expense him
self.

RECORD TO END CASE.
Baptismal Record of Joseph VALERIE
Dated May, 1905.

New York, Jan. 27.-The lost link
in a chain of evidence on which to
base a suit for a $10,00O,000 tract of
land now occupied by a part of the
city of New Orleans, is said to have
been found in the discovery of the
baptismal record of Joseph Valliere,
an early French adventurer. Persons
claiming to be his heirs are scattered
throughout the United States and for
years attorneys in their behalf have
been seeking to establish title to the
Louisiana property, a strip 40 miles
long and so miles wide along the
banks of the White river.
The baptismal record of ValIiere
was found in Quebec, Canada. By
means of this showing his baptism in
May, 1905, it is alleged that no
descendants were traced in so direct
a line that the heirs believe they can
establish their claims.
