Vile season in Harrisburg. The same
scheme of decoration has been carried
out with the exception that for the
remaining warm weather, cool Gre

heavy ones and the furniture has
given way to wicker pieces, covered
with cretonne. Piano lamps and bird
cages OF wicker give touch of at

a theater but which has much to do
with the altogether pleasing scheme
of decoration which has been adopted
by the Majestic. For the first bill,
one OF good variety has been employ

Whyte and Lewis comprise a new

VANDALS BREAK
WELLS MONUMENT
Horse Figures on Marker
Placed by State of Vermont
Badly Damaged

Gettysburg. Pa. Aug. 81. - The
handsome monument erected by the
State of Vermont in honor of General
Wells. one of her sons and dedicated
at the time OF the fiftieth anniversary
of the battle in 1918, suffered at the
hands of a vandal in the breaking of
a part of the bronze plate on the
base of the monument on Sunday
night. The monument stands back of
Big Round Top, and though not as
pretentious as some others on the
of the finest pieces of work here. 1t
has as its dominant feature heroic
statue of General William Wells, in
full action. On the base of the mem
orial is the bronze plate which re-
ceived the force of the vandars work.
This bronze plate is the sculptor's S
charge. The figures are Specially
clear and distinct. the action perfect.
the faces faultless. and the horses
horses were marked by the man and
in each case leg was broken off be-
low the knee. An inspection of the
portion that was damaged showed
that the one leg had been cracked
water having gotten into the fissure
parent. The other break was clean
one. a hunt for the pieces failed to
disclose them and ii is believed the
pieces were broken off for souvenirs
new bronze place will have to be
made. No cl'le was left by the perpe-
traitor of the crime for the officials to
act upon. Four years ago seven mon
uments were damaged in one night by
some one going from the Valley OF
Death to the Taneytown road, and
this is the first time. any monument
has been molested since.

The bill at the Paxtang Park Thea
ter this week thoroughly maintains
the high standard that
at Paxtang set for his summer
theater during the pres
ent season.
FL Coto. known everywhere that
vaudeville is played as the worlds
greatest xylophone player, is prob
ably the only exponent of that par
ticular instrument who is always ac-
corded headline honors. but after
hearing Ell Coto play every one agrees
that he really deserves the distinction.
His performance at PaXtang, last
evening. was a revelation to those
who had never heard a genuine artist
play the xylophone before.
Boutwell, Brown and Company pre-
sented a beautiful spectacular dane
ing act that greatly pleased the Pax
tang audience. The scenic effects in
this act are very elaborate and the
costumes worn were a delight to the
female portion of the audience. The
cycling MeNutts presented a very fast
comedy bicycle act; George Moore.
the clown juggler. gave a pleasing
performance, while Jeane st. Anne, a
French soldier. who was wounded in
the French service during the present
conflict, presented a singing act that
served to arouse the admiration as
we'll as enthusiasm of the park pa
irons last evening.
Another fireworks display will be
shown at the park on Thursday even
