verdict, which was in favor of the
defendant newspaper was reached on
the fourth day. The judge decided

"AIma, Where Do You Live"

Joe Weber, a man who has engineer
ed many plays of farcical situation to a
successful production, will present at
the Hatch OperaHouse, on Wednesday,
Dec. 2, George V. Hobart's English
version of the sensational musical
comedy, "Alma- Where Do Y ou-Live, +"
with many of the original New York
Company
The play is described as a French
vaudeville, which is the only descriptive
phrase which Mr.. Weber could hit up
on, as it is musical comedy, farce
with music, and comic opera all COM
bined. 1t has all the characteristics
and popular features of all of these. In
adapting the farce and in composing
the fourteen lyrics, Mr.. Hobart has
eliminated all the Objectionable feat
ures Of the play, retaining only enough
of the story to build the series of far
cical complications which gave the piece
its vogue in a run of nearly three
seasons in Mr.. Weber's Theatre in
New York. Alma is fascinating mil
liner, who lures an unsophisticated
young man to propose to her in order to
make him lose fortune of four million
francs that has been left to him with
the provision that he does not make
love to woman or propose to her up
to certain date. But she falls in
love with Pierre, saves his fortune and
finally marries him.

Will the City Grant a Franchise
to the Electric Railway?

A blue print map carefully drawn
by the engineers, is on exhibition
and shows that part of the city of
Lancaster including and lying north
of Maple street, which shows the
streets to be crossed and those to be
occupied by the proposed line OF
railway.
If the city council passes the pro-
posed ordinance it means-briefy
told-that the Maple street line will
be for mail, express and passenger
service only.
The line extending northeasterly
from the west line of the city,
crossing the C. & N. w. Ry. tracks
north of the water works standpipe,
would be used for freight, as well
as passenger, mail and express
service.
Under the terms of the proposed
ordinance, which is also printed else
where in this paper, the railway COM
pany must install first-class work
provide as the city itself would provide
adequate street crossings; macadamize
between its rails and outside of the
rails on each side of the line, for q
distance of two feet, the same as the
city has now improved or may here
after improve or macadamize, etc.
In other words, the building OF
these lines of railway would actually
relieve the city, and consequently
the tax payers, of a goodly portion
OF street Improvement.
The placing of its lines for power
transmission would come under state
regulation, so that present existing
lines for electric light and telephone
service would not be interfered with
This city voted a large subscription
to this railroad by a strong vote
nearly three to one, and the granting
of this franchise by our city coun'
Gil at this time would come a;
a graceful and natural act upor
their part. 1t would be regarded by
our people who are financially in
terested and anxious for the com
pany's success as a ministerial &C
wherein due Difference would bt

Double Duty.

An English sportsman-they call d
man sportsman In England when he
has money and nothing to do-has hit
upon very clever idea. He owns an
automobile and a yacht When he
wants to use his yacht he runs the
automobile aboard and harnesses 1T to
the propeller Then he tips of the
self starter. the auto gets busy, the
propeller churns the water. and the
plain yacht becomes a fast motorboat.
When the sportsman gets where he
wants to go he ties up the yacht, runs
the auto ashore and gayly whizzes
along the good roads. OF course, to be
perfectly fair about it. the sportsman
should take the yacht aboard the auto
when he is on land, but up to the
present time he has shown no willing
ness to display any such form of altru-
ism. He's got good idea, however.
Pampered autos have too long been
permitted to go aboard as stowaways.
It's high time they were compelled to
work their passage.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
