Good Musical Comedy Again Packs Lyceum;
 Audience Delighted

There is no question of the popu- larity of musical comedy at the Lyceum and there is no question of the capability of the company to give such a production. The theater was packed last evening and the audience was delighted with ''rhe Man Who Owns Broadway" which is to be there all week. The piece was beautifully mounted, the New York chorus sang we'll and the music of the orchestra was pleasant to listen to. This is the cast:
 Anna .......... Belle Flower Anthony Bridwell ..... l.. J. Fuller Caroline Curtiss ... Adelaide Hubbard ItStelIe Wilson LOIS Bolton Tom Bridwell ........ Wyrley Birch Sylvia Bridwell .... Emily Galloway George Burnham .... Frank Wright sydney Lyons ...... Alfred Cross Captain at Martins :. Jim Connor Harry Hathaway Adrian Perrin Bill Robinson .......... Fred Sutton Cpachman ............. Jim Connor
 
 .. Synopsis of Scenes.
 Act I-Reception hall in Anthony Eridwell's New York home. ... .-.
 Act II.-Martin's restaurant, 25th street and Broadway.
 Act III.-Scene l. Corridor in the Waldorf Astoria.
 Act III.--Scene 2. Interior of the National theater.
 The piece was written by George M. Conan and it follows out his line of comedy interspersed with epigram- matic sayings and was built purposely to amuse. There is no plot unless it can be said that Caroline Curtiss who wishes to marry Anthony Bridwell, a millionaire, and George Burnham. who has similar aspirations Tn the direc- tion of the old mans daughter, Sylvia, played by Miss Galloway, can be called a plot. They are confidence people and card sharps and are de- tected in time to prevent the we'd dings, the affections of the young girl going out to Sydney Lyons, an actor who, upon being questioned. asked the girl if she thought he needed a keeper, and she very artfully replied that perhaps he wanted housekeeper. The music has a pleasant swing to it and encores were numerous. The company borrowed the perfume song from High Jinks," the members leaving the stage ana marching single file through the theater, singing the sweet song, each waving a hand kerchief and dispensing perfume. The piece was we'll acted and the various characters were very compe- tently filled. There were some local hits by MT. Cross as Sydney Lyons which were in good taste and the audience evidently liked them as they did the entire production.

which was now one side of the eleva- tor, and, near him, Nan and Thomp- son.
 He scowled at them. "So you're here!" he said.
 Good Lord, Mir. Karlson! What has happened?" asked Thompson.
 What are you doing in my eleva- tor?" demanded the old man.
 Why, you asked me to come, MT. Karlson, to see if the grain was fer menting."
 And Nan?"
 See here!" shouted Thompson, shaking his fist, Nan and I love one come to your house she had to come to see me at the elevator That's all"
 "All right" answered Karlson. "Only, she don't get none of my money, that's all"
 "Why, good Lord, do you suppose you'll have any money or any life either?" shouted Thompson. Look through the window, mani"
 They all looked through the window. The elevator was sailing down the broad stream of the Divide, through what had been desert country. There was nothing but waste of water for a mile on either hand-then came the sage brush and alkali plain.
 Do you know where you're going?" asked Thompson. Into the Salt sea. Yes, sir, that's where the Divides talk ing us."
 "All the same, Nan don't get none of my money" answered the old man. q think she'll ease up bit toward morning" said Thompson, and then we'll try to let ourselves down through the outside of the window. Maybe she'll ground somewhere"
 They drew together and consulted. It seemed probable that the elevator would ground; if so, it would be an easy matter to get through the win dow The wheat stretched to the sill, and there was space of about five feet between the top of the pile and the roof. Plenty of air came through chinks in the walls. But it was pretty warm for lying on. e"she's fermenting. sure enough"

 alIHI Hss
WON IN THE FLOOD
By THOMAS MILTON.


 Karlson's wheat elevator was sim pie, an oblong wooden box, standing on end, with a flight of wooden stairs running up one side. By means of a crane the wheat was slung up in the bags, which were emptied by a man at the top of the flight. When the eleva tor was full he opened a window and descended the outside. This was in the early days when the flood of pros, perity compelled farmers to build these structures to hold their bulging crops
 But Upas City had not calculated that the Divide river would change its course one night. There was nobody to telegraph the news, for everyone about the upper reaches had been swept to death by the flood. Karlson had had some trouble with his girl Nan, who was in love with Sim Thompson, capable young foreman, but man to whom Karlson had taken an antipathy. He lived near his ele- vator and about ten o'clock, finding Nan out, he strolled over in disgust to look at his crops. He had been afraid the wheat would ferment before he could get it to market. He had just got up to the top of the elevator when the Divide came down.
 Karlson heard distant cries, cries nearer, and then wall of water struck the old elevator and sent it spinning from its foundations like a teetotum. It rolled, fell on it's side, and, three parts submerged went rae. ing down the torrent.
 By some miracle the tremendous weight of the shifting wheat failed to bury the old man. When he realized what had happened he found himself seated within five feet of the roof

CAN'T BELIEVE IN THIS FROG
Batrachian Found lmbedded in Coal Proves Too Much for the Brit
 ish Mind.

Really that frog which was found in the middle of seam of coal in the Trafalgar colliery, Forest of Dean, grows more and more mysterious. re- marks the London Globe At first everybody assumed that either as an egg or a tadpole, it had tumbled through some opening on the surface and was expecting deliverance with that placidity which distinguishes the batrachian mind. But now that the hollow in the block of coal in which it was found has been carefully exam ined the existence of any such opening seems definitely to be disposed of and we are faced by the astonishing suggestion that the frog has been there ever since the coal was first deposited.
 Sooner than believe that we would believe anything. A frog may be long lived, and we understand the creature can get along quite comfortably with out food for some considerable time. But that this beast should have lived for millions of years without food or water is a notion we really cannot swallow. and sooner than accept it

CONCERNS DEMAND ABSTINENCE.


 The Milton Manufacturing company, the American Car & Foundry con- pany, and s. J. Simmer & Sons of Milton, Pennsylvania, have issued or ders demanding that their employees abstain from alcohol and refuse to sign license petitions of otherwise in dicate sympathy for the saloon.
 Thirty men were discharged by the American Car X Foundry company because they signed liquor license ap- plications.
 These companies do not desire to influence the opinions of the employ ees in regard to prohibition, but they take the stand that the man who signs liquor license application does not properly appreciate the danger of liq- uor to himself and the community. He is, therefore, not a safe employee for concern demanding efficiency
 Indulgence in the use of liquor is menace to all business interests" !" declared MT. George $. Simmer, presi- dent of the Milton Manufacturing company. If the employees should be protected by the employer. why shouldn't the employer be as well pro- tected by the employee? Our employ ees have congratulated us upon the step we have taken.

Herman Neumyer, the dean of Har-
risburg musicians, is quietly cele-
brating his seventy-fourth birthday to-
Gay at his home, 500 PETER street.
Mr.. Neumyer has been seriously i'll for
two months and is just able to be out.
This morning Mr.. Shenk, of Lam
caster. an old army comrade, came
from Lancaster with his family by
automobile to extend congratulations
and good wishes to Mr.. Neumyer.
Dad Neumyer. as the musicians of
the city call him. was born in Baden,
Germany, coming to this country when
a child with his parents, who located
at Norristown.
He enlisted in Company A, First
Pennsylvania Regiment, when the first
call for volunteers was made by Presi-
dent Lincoln and at the end of this
enlistment re-enlisted in the Seventy
ninth Regiment as n musician of the
Third Brigade band. He served all
through the war and was with Sher-
man in his famous march to the sea.
Locating in Harrisburg in 1865, and
making music his profession, Professor
Neumyer organized the State Capital
Band No. 2 in 1875 and was it's leader
during it's existence.
Mr.. and Mrs. Neumyer celebrated
their golden wedding July 10, 1913,
and hope to have a little celebration
of their fifty-second anniversary this
year.

BUFFALO HERE FOR
Z CANES TOMORROW
Saturday Double headers viii Pre-
vail Throughout Season
Through Old Schedule

The first of the Saturday big bar
gain baseball double e-headers of In
ternational League baseball will be
played on the Island Park grounds to-
morrow afternoon when the Buffalo
club will make its first appearance and
games. The first game is to start at
2 o'clock. Saturday double-headers
will prevail during the season on ac-
count of Sunday games being Sched-
uled on the old Newark schedule.
On Monday the Buffalo club will
also engage the Indians in a double
header on the Island grounds while on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the
Rochester club will be the attraction
and on Friday and Saturday the
Toronto team Is scheduled to play.
The Buffalo club is said to have the
speediest outfield in the International
League and in Gilhooley they have a
star who is said to be a second Ty
Cobb on the bases. Gilhooley was
formerly with the New York Ameri-
cans and will likely be recalled at the
close of the international League sea-
son unless he is sold to some other
club. Channell, the right fielder Is
the cleanup hitter and was also a
member of the Yankees but early in
the season a year ago he broke a leg
and has been with the Bisons ever
other fash and a hard consistent hit
ter.
Heating the Buffalo shortstop, was
formerly a member of the Chicago
Nationals while Carlstrom, the third
baseman belongs to the Boston Am
ericans and will be remembered as
having played a number of games with
that club. Judge, the first baseman
is the property of the New York AM
ericans. Onslow, the catcher was
formerly with the Detroit Americans
and was sent to the Detroit farm at
Providence but figured in a deal with
the Toronto club. Beebe. one of the
twirlers will be remembered as being
with the Phillies while MolyneauX
was a former Villa Nova College
twirler. The Buffalo club is in sec
ond place and the Indians will try
hard to take the series as they figure
that they can jump to second place
in the championship race by taking
three of the four games.

TyroIese Sharp Shooters
Are Highly Efficient

Correspondence of Associated Press
Vienna, July 9.-The war with Italy
has brought out, ready for action, a
body of men that are perhaps unique
the world over-the Tyrolese sharp
shooters. Thousands of these men,
ranging from II up to old age, the
members of the 406 royal and imper-
ial shooting stands" constitute one
of the most efficient organizations of
their kind in Europe.
The shooting stands are volunteer
organizations elsewhere, but in Aus
tria are controlled by and are part
of the State. When called 'out the
Stands" go as units and are assigned
to special duty. The members wear the
national Tyrolese costume, with arm
bands to identify them.
There is no age limit for the sharp
shooters, and for generations it has
been a matter of personal pride to
keep fit and in good condition. 1t
has been close to a disgrace TO be re-
lieved of membership on a physicians
recommendation.

Don't Wash Your
Hair With Soap

When you wash your hair, don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much all4aIp,
which is very injurious, as it dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats soaps or anything
else all to pieces You can get this at
any drug store, and a few ounces Will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking bright, fluffy, wavy
and easy to handle. Besides, it loos-
ems and takes out every particle of
dust, dirt and Observation-Disclosures
ment.
