FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week Sept. 18th, "Marceline" in the
sensation of the age, the most unique
entertainment from the New York Hip
podrome, indoor Circus and novelty per-
Torrance
Undoubtedly the most entertaining and
unique sensation of the New York Hip
podrome season was the appearance and
performance of Marceline, the famous
and wonderful clown interpreter, the
most genuine and artistic laugh provoker
ever popularized at the Metropolis, and
who comes next week in the New York
Hippodrome show and novelty indoor cir
Gus performance, an entertainment en-
tirely out of the ordinary that refreshes
by it's newness and delights by its excel
lence. Marceline IS different from any
other clown and simply rouses his audi
ence to enthusiasm, keeping them in a
constant state of laughter.
The managers, Harris and Shaw, be-
sides presenting Marceline the great
clown, have constructed a novelty indoor
circus and seated $50 people on the stage
the audience watching the audience.
There is a s0-foot ring In which all the
big foreign and American acts work.
There are daring bareback acts, trapeze
performers, dogs and ponies and buck
ing mules, comedy acrobats, riding prima
donnas, blackface comedians, singing
catchy music and turkey trotters, clown
and aerial acts, and the famous Marceline
band, all of which combine to enable
Marceline full play for his marvellous
skill In making people laugh harder than
anybody else.
After each performance there will be
a reception on the stage, at which time
the children may shake hands with Mar
celine and look closely at the dogs, ponies
and everything else.

Obviate Eye Trouble.
The greatest evil in connection with
eye trouble is due to the fact that the
faulty organ does not generally betray
itself until the damage has made serious
Roadway.
If you have any trouble with your eyes
difficulty in seeing distinct or reading,
aching eyes, tired eyes. If you suffer
from headache, if the child cannot see
we'll at school, or if the child's eyes soon
become tired, call and have them ex-
amined.
You can prevent this risk by consult

In Frederick.
Forty first Session Opens Week
OF October 20.

The forty-irst annual session of the
Synod of the Potomac of the Reformed
Church will be held in the Evangelical
Reformed church, Frederick, beginning
October %, and lasting about one week.
The officers of the synod are the Rev. +.
L. Mclean, president; Elder Geo. Nc
Corkie, of North Carolina, vice president;
Elder Chas. M. Wolff. of Hanover, Pa,
treasurer; and the Rev. Lloyd Coblentz,
of Baltimore, stated clerk.
The opening service of the synod will
be held Tuesday evening, October 70, at
8 o'clock The Rev. E. l.. Mclean, the
retiring president, will preach the SER
mon, after which the synod will be or
ganized, new officers elected, and routine
business transacted.
Potomac Synod Is composed Of eight
classes. Within its bounds are located
all of the Reformed churches in southern
central Pennsylvania, between the Allie
gheny mountains and the Susquehanna
river; the whole of Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia and North Carolina. The
latest statistics assign to this synod 1856
ministers, 1923 congregations and 47,l57
communicates. Not all of the ministers
will be in attendance at the next meet
ing of the synod in Frederick, but it is
estimated that there will be about 100
ministers and at least Is elders. These
delegates will be entertained by the mem
beers and friends Of the two Reformed
churches in Frederick.
The meeting of the Potomac Synod in
Frederick this fall is historically signfii-
cant. The synod was organized in the
Evangelical Reformed church of that
city, April 10, 1873. The Rev. DR.. Daniel
Zacharias, the pastor of the Frederick
church, was to have preached the open
ing sermon, but because of declining
health he invited the Rev. DR.. j. O..
Miller to perform this duty. This first
meeting of Potomac Synod was of pre-
liminary character The regular sessions
were first held in the fall of 1873, at
Chambersburg, when the Rev. E.. R.
Eschbach, d. D., was elected president.
Potomac Synod met for the second time
in Frederick in 1895, at which time the
Rev. Dr.. William C. Schaeffer was
president
The last meeting of Potomac Synod
was held in the historic Reformed church
at Mercersburg. The sessions lasted
seven days and some very important
matters that will make that meeting
memorable, were decided.

CreagerstoWn Letter.

On Tuesday evening last we had quite
an exciting runaway in town. Mr. Els
worth Valentine drove a very beautiful
sorrel horse to town and hilched it in
front of Hotel Val and while attending
to some business the animal put its head
down to rest and on raising it caught the
bride and stripping 1t dashed at break
neck speed for home. In turning the
corner the horse took in too much land
and the buggy top struck tree and was
demolished. After running for about
mile and half, he ran in field where
he was caught by Mr.. Valentine and Mr..
Walter Dorsey after making several cir
cults around the field The animal seems
none the worse for it and is as gentle as
ever, but the new buggy was almost
completely demolished.

The fourth survey Of an inland

Members of the Columbus Board Of
Trade and business men generally Of
Columbus and vicinity are enthu-
siastically in a project being pro-

that would give this city and other

waterway all the way from Columbus
to Pensacola Fla
This project would simply be an
extension of the canal now in course
of opening from the lower Apalachi-
cola river to ST. Andrews and is gen.
orally regarded as entirely feasible.
Trade bodies and business men
throughout West Florida, southeast
Alabama are watching the develop

extension work with great concern.

nocent cause of the trouble, lend their
frightened strength to prevent the
threatened tragedy in their lives.
Mrs. Rhoda Young is the grand
mother of her namesake Rhoda
Boehler, 4, who was made an orphan
when her father, Adam J. Boehler,
several weeks ago was shot to death
by the police after he had barricaded
himself in room and def1ed capture
for IL hours. Previous to this, her
father had slashed the throat Of his
young wife, while the little daughter
locked on without realizing the horror
of the awful deed
Following the tragedy Mrs. Young
and her husband took charge of Rho
da. They were anxious to keep her
but the juvenile court considered the
sEanty boat, on which the Youngs
make their home, an improper envir-
onment for the little girl. So when
John J. Boehler of Columbus, O.,
Rhoda's uncle, asked to take the child
away, and give her a good home in
his family, the Judge decreed that
Rhoda should leave her grandparents
and go with him. Rhoda did not want
to go and the Youngs at once appealed
from the decision, opening the way
for a long legal fight.
Similar in many details is the case
Of Josephine Coleman, 8, for whom
mother and step p-grandmother are
fighting in the courts. The little girl
has been reared since babyhood by
Mrs. Emmaline Coleman, who adopted
the child after her step daughter, Jo-
sephines mother, had shown a desire
to abandon it
One day the mother, who has since
married, came to Mrs. Coleman's home
and took the child away. Mrs. Cole
man appealed to the police and charges
of kidnapping were placed against the
mother. She, however, proved that
she was the child's parent, and a bat
tie for possession was commenced.
Both children protest tearfu!ly
against being separated from their
grandmothers and on their part the
two old women are fighting with the
fierce, primitive intensity that is part
o. the mothering instinct, for perma-
ment custody of the children they have
reared.
