TONIGHT WITH NEW COURSES
Enlarged Curriculum Includes Book
selling and Dancing.

open tonight in Philadelphia, and hun
dreds of pupils have enrolled to avail
themselves of an opportunity whereby
their efficiency along lines of q chosen
occupation may be increased.

mer it is argued that book selling as well
as book writing Is now rapidly becoming
a learned profession and for this reason

ject at hand in order to increase their
usefulness. In other words, a salesman
should be perfectly intimate with the
goods offered to the customer.
The new courses are included in the
curriculum for evening students at tine
William Penn High School. so that in
addition to dressmaking and domesti"
science young women students will have
an opportunity to acquire considerable
knowledge of books, gymnastics and the
latest dance steps providing their lasts

direction.

pose. The courses will extend over a

Deed of Trust.
Owen ]. Roberts and Malcolm Lloyd,
Jr., representing the Church of st. Luke
and the Epiphany, today appeared before
Judge RaIston and asked the court to
terminate deed of trust, for an en-
dowment fund, created with the Penn
sylVania Company for Insurances on Lives
ana Granting Annuities, by st. Luke's
Church prior to its consolidation with the
Epiphany.
In April, 1896 st. Luke's Church was
In need of an endowment fund, and under
the deed of trust then created the Penn
sylVania Company agreed to invest all
the trust funds in securities, and to paw
the income in accordance with the di-
rections of the vestry. At the time of
the execution of the deed the church
paid over to It's trustee n United States
bond for $1,000 s935.35 in cash and later
500 In cash. In 1898 st. Luke's was
merged with the Church of the Epiphany.

tion known as ST. Luke's Church.

for the trustee, submitted an answer,
admitting the averments of the petition
ing church, and Judge Ralston directed

CHINATOWN HERE TOO BUSY
EVEN TO HONOR CONFUClUS
Request From President Yuang Shi-
Kai Ignored.

President Yuang Shi-Kai. of China, to
make himself more popular with his baby
but turbulent Government, started a pa
radc this morning between the hours of
3 and o'clock. Chinese time to the
Confucan Temple He asked all China
men to honor Confucius at approximately
the same time
The local Chinatown received the Presi-
dents edict, but since the right time for
the tribute Is difficult to translate into
Race street chronology Chinatown is not
paying honor to Confucius or to the
President.
Last week YuanS Shi-Kai hinted to his
chief minister that he thought il would
be quite proper ii the Presidents natal
day be celebrated. The minister stroked
the back of his neck where many a prime
minister has felt the headsmans axe He
felt the same as the President. He agreed
with the execution from the crown of his
illustrious head clear down 10 the hOnored
ground the President trod upon, and
stratghtway sent a manifesto to the Race
street colony declaring a holiday on the
birthday anniversary of the President

FIREMAN FALLS DOWN HOLE
RUSHING FOR SLIDE POLE
Knocked Unconscious as He Answers
Call of a Morning Alarm.

That the life Of fireman is beset with
hardship and danger is q fact to which
William Walton, of 1907 North 2fst street,
can testify heartily All of the danger
doesn't come fighting fires, either. The
mere sliding down on a brass pole in re-
sponse to an alarm may be as hazardous
as climbing into a burning building, a
fact proved by injuries sustained by Wal
ton when he fell down a slide-pole at
an early hour this morning as an alarm
was sounded from fire box at Second
street and Girard avenue
Walton, who Is veteran hoseman and
nero, OF Engine Company No. 80, at sixth
and Locust streets, was awakened OF
4:3O this morning when the alarm was
rung. He rushed for the slde-pole, but
he was only half awake, and missed the
pole completely, falling to the floor be-
low. In the rush the mlshap was not
noticed by the other firemen and they
dashed from the building, leaving their
companion lying unconscious upon the
hoor where he was found some time
later by one of the company who re-
manned on duty in the engine house.
The injured man was rushed to the
Jefferson Hospital, where 1t was found
that he had sustained numerous severe
cuts and bruises and was suffering from
the STOCK and possible interna, injuries.

Harker for years was a waiter in the

brokers and he served them so well that
finally he possessed enough money re-
ceivcd through tips to start a restaurant
of his own. He opened his business
place on Fifth street below Arch.
Brokers patronized him, but the place
was cIamped and only n few persons
could be served at a time. Harker was
a fine fellow, agreed the brokers, but
his place was a little unhandy to reach
and then it was . little stulfy, and being
perched on a stool at a lunch bar was
not the most comfortable position In
which to enjoy ones meals.
