ADJUSTMENTS
HoWE's TRAVEL FESTIVAL.
Peer of Exhi bitors TO Show New Pro-
gram Here Dec. s.

The beauties OF the world expressed
in exquisite photography and projected
with q degree of perfection that makes
them appear super-realistie will be re-
vealed at the Auditorium Tuesday, Dec
., matinee and night. This means that
Lyman II. Howe s Travel Festival will
be the attraction. In spite of the ex-
travagant claims made by all sorts of
movie exhibitors, Lyman H. Howe is to-
day as much the peer of exhibitors as
he was from the days when he was the
pioneer. His exhibition is as unique as
ever, because he has established the
fact of its quality and perfection so
clearly on each recurring semi-annual
engagement.
On this occasion Howe promises q
feature CLEANED from that island para
dise-Hawaii, concerning which Mark
Twain wrote: "No alien land in all the
world has any deep, strong charm for
me but that one; no other land could so
lOngingly and beseechingly haunt me-
sleeping and waking as this has done
Other things leave me, but it abides.
Other visions of scenic sublimity will
be presented from Norway as spectators
proceed TO 11dHIuCTItSI, METROPOLIS OF
the Midnight Sun, from which point
they will gaze upon realms of weird
wonders and mystery. No painter S
pigments could transcribe the color
beauty and eternal calm that is here
revealed. Spain also will be revealed
in all the glory of its colors. In this
film spectators will view the garden of
the Aleazar, a bridge built by the Ro
mans, the tower of Giralda. Seville and
Malaga and observe the daily life, pur-
suits. customs and costumes both of the
psasantry and aristocracy. Still other
features depict birds and fish in the
colors of nature. All these subjects
, aud many others-are interspersed with
! lively cartoons cleverly satirizing thu
more dignified Limitations.
America S famous military institu
| ton at West Point also contributes q
| notable film covering the thorough
! course of training and discipline, drills
mancuvers. etc.. that develop the ca
! diets into the finest and most efficient
/ military corps to be found anywhere.

day morning in horrible manner.
He was standing on the steps of a
locomotive crane giving orders to swing
the crane about TO pick mp some mate
rial, when the crane swung around, un-
noticed by him, and crushed his skull
against the fire box. The ponderous
mechanism slowly dragged him under

the car platform was less than six
inches in several places The crane was
stopped as soon as his plight was dis
covered.
Mr.. Smith had been in the employ of
the bridge company for the past &c
years, and had been in charge of the
work at East Deerfeld for the past five

in 1902 and 1903. They are quad

four newest monitors been reduced.
I'VE did have, however, one much

5000 tons displacement. and car

The suggestion that monitors
could not sight their guns in a sea-

Bunce took the Monterey out into
the ocean with the deliberate pur-

ship went through two big gales, and

would have rendered 1t impossible
for battleshlps to use their guns. It
was found that she could pass the

merchant steamers did not dare
make the attempt.
