CAPT. SORCHOS BIG CONTRACT
Promised That Diver VIII Find Lost
Articles in River or Lake

Is there anybody in Harrisburg who
would like to recover something ne
lost in the river, or any other large
body of water-even Wildwood Lake
There's no limit to the size of the
body of water one might name, for
even the briny deep has no terrors for
Captain Louis Soreho, who will be at
the Orpheum next week. He is the
man who was appointed by the United
States government to help bring the
remains of the battleship Maine to the
surface.
BY strange coincidence Mr.. Sorcho
will be in Harrisburg at the same time
Felix the mind-reading duck, will
be at the Colonial. Critics have declar-
ed that ''Felx,' even though he is a
duck, is no "quaek' when it comes to
mind-reading. So now the proper
method to pursue-that is if you have
lost something's TO pay a visit to
the Colonial first. If You have lost au
article tell your troubles to Felix, 4"
and he will tell you where to find it.
With that part of the trouble settled
your next trip will be the shortest
route TO Captain Sorcho. He "dotes y

find what you have lost.
When Captain Sorcho comes to the
Orpheum next week, he will actually
bring with him small ocean, a battle
ship, some mines and other submarine
contrivanees, and according to advance
reports he will give most interesting,
thrilling and pretentious vaudeville

of Institution for Generous
Gifts

The annual donations to the Harris
burg Hospital this year are very graft
flying to the members of the Woman s
Aid Society, who have worked hard to
make it a success. The generous re-
sponse with the call for foodstuffs was
met has been very satisfying. The
donations have exceeded those of for
mer years and it is believed that the
call for aid for the starving Belgians
has awakened more charitable feeling
in persons in thfs city and surrounding
towns.
More than 5000 was received in
cash. There were 200 bushels of po-
tatoes, seventy bushels of apples, $500
pots of jelly, other staple groceries and
some green goods from nearby farmers.
The officers and members of the So
ciety desire to thank all of the friends
of the hospital who gave donations. 1t
would be impossible to mention the
names of individual donors and they
collectively express their gratitude TO
the great number of contributors.
