Smiths declaration in a salem ad-

The single item veto is the plan

he says il would be a two edged

DR.. Withycombe said OF the single

The general appropriation bill

At the Orpheum

No formal invitations have been sent
out for the Orpheum' s Halloween par
ty, as vet They re not going to send
any out either, Manager Hopkins says.
The fact that great bill of Keith hits
is here this week, an offering that
comprises four big city headliners, to-
gether with the festive hue the whole
playhouse has taken on, is sufficient
evidence that there is going to be some
celebration round on Locust street on
Saturday evening. 1t is doubtful if
the popular playhouse ever looked pret-
tier than it does decked out in its Hal
loween dress. Orange and black are
artistically arranged throughout the
theatre and then there are many of
the wierd black cats and shocks of corn
and Jack 20 lanterns.
But the party will have its crowning
festivities Saturday evening, when
girls desirious of seeing their future
husbands, are to march down the aisle
backwards, likewise the boys; all will
be invited to bob for apples some of
which will contain passes for the Or
pheum, and the entire audience is in
vited TO attend in masquerade costumes.
After the regular performance the cos
tuned guests will be invited upon the
stage to let the audience pick the most
artistic and the most comical "cre-
ations. Prizes will be awarded the
winner of each class.
A midnight election matinee is being
announced by the management for next
Tuesday night. Tickets for this special
matinee are now on sale. BY the time
this second Orpheum performance is
over, everybody will have heard all the
important returns and will know who
Pennsylvania s next Governor is.

the dust and it settles again some
where else
A cheesecloth duster slightly damp
or an oiled cloth will take up the dust
and hold it. Flannelette is good too.
but nothing is better than an old bit
of velveteen. The nap on this catches
every particle of dust and it can be
washed many times
A dustless mop is the thing for hard
wood; if they are polished it must be
moistened very little with kerosene,
but for painted floors dip the mop in
weak ammonia water and wiring almost
dry.
The oiled mops are made by dipping
new fluffy mop in paraffine oil and
wringing them very dry once in six
months. This oil is to be had at hard
ware or drug stores and is fluid and
not the same as paraifine wax
1t is quite remarkable how long
brooms. mops and brushes last when
they are kept for certain rooms and
floors. Ii YOU have the good habit of
keeping expense books YOU know you
do not often have to buy new utensils
of this sort Another thing that is
worth remembering about brooms and
mops is to always hang them head up
when putting them away. You can buy
broom holder, and a mop hook, for
five cents each that will last as long
as YOU live and YOU will never have a
broom spread or mop mould while
you use them.
When sweeping mating, Brussels
carpet. or any floor covering with a
nap, sweep with it and always run the
carpet sweeper in the direction the nap
lies. This helps greatly to prolong the
life of your carpeting.

An old wardrobe makes a very good

sometimes oftener. 1t is an easy matter
to put shelf across the upper part to
hold a bottle of glue or mueilage, a

brooms. This brings us back to where
we stopped yesterday. when we said
every housekeeper should have several
brooms if she is to work efficiently. 1t
is mighty poor business management to
keep house with only one broom.
When you want to dust the walls and

over the broom straws and then remove
this when you are ready to sweep

ZINC CASHIER IN TANGLE
Baseball Financing Said to Be Cause of
Money Trouble

Palmerton, Pa, Oct. 29.-R. w.
Gombert, cashier for the New Jersey
Zine Company, was committed to Jail
at Mauch Chunk by Squire B. W. Shipe,
on the charge of emoezzlement, in de-
fault of $1,000 bail.
fhe amount involved is said to be
about $500. Gombert is manager of
the Palmerton baseball team, and
money required to secure professional
players to play on his team in cham
pionship games with the Mauch Chunk
and Slatington teams is said to be the
cause of his trouble, along with the fail-
ure of Others to do as they had pledged.
1t is said the "ringers for the
championship games cost more than
$500. Pitcher Jacobs, of Philadelphia.
who twirled against the Mauch Chunk
team, alone cost $50. exclusive of his
expenses.
