GOOD SHOWS BY i

Well-baIanced Company Of Merit

Beginning yesterday, Harrisburg was
introduced for the first time to tho
Myrltle Harder Stock Company, play
ing repertoire for the entire week. The
introduction was made in Louis Mann's
starring vehicle of few years ago,
"Elevating Husband"
One of Myrkle-Harder's ADVERTISE
ments was that they presented roper
toire in a manner which elevates them
above the plane of the usual stock
company, and that their program pre-
sented pieces which have enjoyed sue
cess wherever presented. Up to both
of these statements the Myrkle Harder
company lived. For one does not
feel that one is seeing show pre-
sented by a company which on the
next day will presented another show
of entirely different character The
manner in which the show is put on
the stage alone lifts this company
from the ordinary, and the personnel
of the company is no less noteworthy.
The company is well balanced and Of
unusual ability.

FRED WELSH WINS
IN EIGHTH ROUND
Lightweight Champion Retains His
Title; Decisive Victory Over
Former Champion
Special to The Telegraph

New York, Nov. 3.-Freddy Welsh, OF
England, is still the lightweight cham
pion boxer of the world He technically
stopped Ad Wolgast in the eighth round
OF a scheduled ten-round bout at Mad
ison Square Garden last night. At the
end of that round Wolgast. with his
face battered and with his face dis
torted with pain. called Referee Roche
to his corner and told him that a small
bone in his arm was broken. Wolgast's
chief second had to lift the Michigan
Wildcats hand so that Roche could
examine it. Wolgast was powerless
to use it. Roche then. realizing that
wolgast was in no physical condition
to contiEe the bout, then ordered 1t
stopped.
Welsh at the ringside weighed 1876
pounds and Wolgast 1875 y pounds. The
sudden termination came as a surprise
TO the majority of the fistic fans. But
to those who occupied seats close to the
rtngside ii was evident that Wolgast
had been crippled. From the fifth round
on it was noticeable that Wolgast rare
" used his right hand. In the seventh
round he only used 1t as guard occa-
sionally. In the eighth round Ads
right hand hung helpless at his side
like the broken wing of a duck. It
swung back and forth with the move
ments of his body. Not once was he
able to raise it, even to guard his face.

Laughter in the Supreme Court.

The supreme court of the United
States is absolutely and indisputably
supreme when it comes to solemnity
dreariness, and gloom. People do not
laugh once a year in that funreal look
ing chamber. All you have to do is to
set your foot inside it in order to un-
derstand that the dispensing or JUS
tice is a heavy, ponderous, and serious
affair.
Not long ago, however Mr.. Justice
Lurton made the lawyers, the audi
tors, and the other jutices laugh right
out loud.
A lawyer from the South was argu-
ing a case concerning two secret LODI
ges.
MAY the court please" said the
lawyer heatedly, "the opposing lodge
not only got hold of our ritual and
used it, but also got our insig1 ia and
regalia."

Lurton. Did they also get your

The problem was not confined to
getting the living to vacate, but there
was also the delicate task Of obliterat-
ing thirty-five cemeteries holding $500
dead An allowance of SIS was made
for the removal OF each body, and the
total outlay TO the city represented
the tidy sum of $4,000. The entire
ultimate watershed will have an area
of 900 square miles. Even after q
period of extraordinarily dry years the
engineers estimate that the whole
watershed will be able to gather and
to yield daily fully 100000 gallons.
New York is now consuming an av-
erage of 500 ,OOO,O gallons Of water
every twenty-four hours. and the Cro-
ton system is equal to an Independent
diurnal demand OF 50.000,000 gallons.
The Esopus watershed will have a nor
mai yield of 25O.0O0.000 in dry years,
but the auueduct will have a carrying
capacity equal TO a steady flow Of 5OO,-
0OO, 900 gallons every twenty-four
hours.
The inhabitants Of Manhattan Island
are not to be immediate beneficiaries

The tunnel which has just been fin

in the construction of the entire aque-

this material does not give water a

period the cement is throwing off gas.
Accordingly, it will he necessary to
purge the water from time to time to
make II drinkable. and to that end the
engineers have installed great aerators
at Ashokan and at Kensico.
The aerators are rectangular basins

within these are arranged 1880 noz-
