Keith

\ little bit of everything that goes to
make up prescnt-day vaudeville is given
on tho bill at Keith's this week. From
an artistic standpoint, the honors of the
show went to George MacFarlane, a
pleasing baritone, who rendered q wide
range of songs. His repertoire was chosen
with a view Of pleasing all tastes, and
by way of good measure he added comic
song to contrast with those which car
ried a tnEc of sadness, The singer was
generous in his encores, and the applause
which greeted his efforts was truly de-
served.
Dorothy Toyc. who made her first ap-
pcarance at Keith's, proved that her bill
ing, "th" girl vita two voices was justi-
fed She sang soprano and tenor seleC-
tions alternately. and her tenor was just
as robust as many we hear in opera. She
won emphatic approval.
Many laughs greeted Lulu Mcconnell

DONNER MAY LEAD
IN STEEL MERGER
incorporation of Company in
New York and Cambria
Changes Cause Report

As a result of the incorporation OF the
Donner steel Company, in New York,
rumors OF a huge steel merger have been
widely circulated. II is asserted that VIII
liam ~. Bonner. president of the Cambria
steel Company, intends to retire from
the company OF which he is head, and
that large interests will sell their
Cambria steel stock at $50 share and
will take part in a great steel combine
which will have that company as nu-
cleus.
The New York state Steel Company,
which Donner recently purchased for 81
10000. will be taken over by the Don
nor steel Company. and will have capt
tai of 100000. half preferred and half
common stock, according to reports, Al
though Douncr refuses to say who the
other nCorporators are. the facts are
taken to mean that he has been forced
out Of Cambria Steel and is preparing
against the future.
II is said that Donner is anxious -
obtain control OF the Pennsylvania Steel
Company, and has made an offer to the
Pennsylvania Railroad and the Reading
Coal and Iron Company. which hold be-
tween them rs per cent Of the stock. II
is also said that the offers were not
altogether satisfactory to the railroads
and that further attempts will be made to
obtain the stock.
From this it is thought that the Penn
sylvania steel Company Is To form link
in Donner's new corporation. Weight Is
given to tho reports by persistent rumors
to the effect that the Replogle syndicate
intends selling Cambria steel stock at so
a share tu certain interests which are
dealing with them at present This
syndicate viii net handsome profit if tn"
report is true. as approximately 10000
shares of Cambria steel were bought by
them az s6j
When the reports of the merger were
circulated late yesterday, Cambria steel
stock fell Off in the market and trading
was lighter than on any day for several
weeks The companies who are thought
to hc considered as forming part of the
merger are the Cambria, Lackawanna,
Inland and the Youngstown Sheet and

he by no means considers it the worst
thing that could have happened to
Europe, for n new and better civilization
will arise out of the ruins of the present.
In speaking of the brighter side of the
present war he said:
1T has taken the ugly night life away
from London, and given the people some
thing finer. more splendid, more enduring
and more lasting. II abolishes trivialites,
they are all gone. Man hasn't changed
