Charity Week
BESSIE WYNN'S
NAME ON LIST
Sale of Seats for Next Week Is Said at
Box Office to Be Greater Than ANY
Advance Sale Previously Known

Until last evening the slogan adopt-
ed by the Rotary Club for next week,
when they will operate the Orpheum
theatre for the Belgian relief fund. was
An empty seat at the Orpheum means
an empty stomach in Belgium and
this was about the only inducement of.
fered vaudeville fans to get in line to
witness next week s bill. But after
Mr.. Hopkins arrived from New York
City with choice line of Keith acts,
acts tha 3are bound to make a strong
bid for favor here, it will be strongly
seconded by slogan something Ike
An empty seat at the Orpheum will
also mean disappointed vaudeville

VINO could imagine a more popular
arrangement than Bessie Wvnn and
Joe Jackson2 One is as laughaIble as
the other Is winsome and both are
great favorites here. Then there are
the Farber Sisters, pleasing girls who
were a big hit at the Orpheum before
and who are presenting an entirely new
act this season. Manager Hopkins was
fortunate in securing them for next
week after witnessing their successful
act at the Palace theatre in New York.
Joe Jackson will be recalled as the
tramp bicyclist. His ragged togs and
bicycle parts become so entangled that
Joe hands out one scream after an
other while manfully struggling to get

Bessie Wynn is also offering a new
repertoire of song this season and at
Keith s Philadelphia theatre this week
she is scoring triumph at each per-
formance.
The remainder of the bill has been
announced as follows: LaHone and
Dupreece, in novelty act; Ed. How

ing success, "Those Were the Happy
Days." Elsie Morton and Tony Rediro,

well repay the big crowds for helping
with the relief fund outside of the

Plans to place sixteen cluster light
standards in Walnut and Locust streets
between Front and Third, as outlined
in the budget of Harry f. Bowman,
Commissioner of Public Safety, has

Continued From First Page.
Commissioners now are working ON the
basis of creating but one new patrol
man S job.
The Mayor has asked for one new
copper" although he has also sug-
gested that, if money is available, it
would not be unwise to employ FIVE ad-
ditional patrolmen.
Commissioner Bowman to-day said
it now is positively certain that the
tax rate will be reduced by half mill,
although he added that it will be i'm
possible to give exact figures ON the
probable amount to be carried in the
budget until after the Monday meeting.
But one cut in an estimate has been
made thus far. That, Mr.. Bowman
said, came yesterday, when he, unso-
licited, obtained the permission of his
colleagues to reduce the estimated cost
of running the department of the City
Electrician from 1000 to something
over $4,000.
Should the general appropriation bill
carry $545, 600 for the new year, the
amount will exceed the 1914 appropri-
alton bill, which covered only nine
months by approximately $4,000.
Yet that is at least $4,000 less than
was actually expended by the Commits
sloners, since, at the beginning of the
1914 fiscal year on April l, last. they
made provision for paying a $55, 900
Indebtedness which was created
through deficiencies during the last
eight or ten years.
Balance in General Fund
The balance in the city's general
fund VIII be announced to the Commits
sloners on Monday by Commissioner
Gorgas, head of the Finance depart,
mept. Rough estimates place it at
anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000.
To that will be added a $3.50O fund
which in April had been allowed to the
City Electrician IS department for buy.
ing new equipment, but which has not
been expended.
In the same department $4,000
fund was created in April out of which
was to be paid the cost of underground
cables and for the laying \of them.
Thus far only $500 of that money has
been expended, and it is Mr.. Bow
mans plan to reappropriate it to the
Clty Electrician fos the same purpose.
The money was not expended because
the desired cable could not be obtained.
1t will not be necessary this year to
appropriate additional money for that
purpose, and, with a fund of $4,000,
carried in the new budget, the City
Electrician will have well on to Sill
600 available for all needs. That fund
will also provide for new equipment TO
be purchased during the new year
Half mill tax means a revenue of
approximately $4,000. With a 9b-
mill tax rate, the Commissioners ~
pended S565,O00 during 1914 and
there yet will be a reserve fund of not
less than 100000. With that in mind,
the Commissioners figure they can. with
9-mill rate, take care of a S545,00O
budget and still have balance at the
close of 1915.
No one department will suffer TO a
great extent when the pruning is done
on Monday, since the reductions now
considered total only $4,000, although
the Commissioners say thev plan to let
the larger departments which have the
larger acquisitions stand most of the

Deal with Men You Know.

Don't expect the impossible of your
town and it's merchants. Be sure
first, before you complain of the goods
and prices of home merchants, that
you haven't had hand in making it
impracticable for our merchants to
handle the kind of goods you want
at the prices you can pay. Merchants
are not mind readers, nor are they
blind to their own best interests. Il
they haven't what you want they will
get it for you at as low a price you
can get it for anywhere else. They
deserve to be given an opportunity
to do so, anyhow; but if they do
not deserve it, you will be doing
yourself bigger favor than you will
be doing them to deal face to face
with men you know and who can be
held personally accountable for their
promises and performances. Try this
