Two exceedingly clever acts of

the later half Of the week. and
their appearance last night pleased
immensely. neslo and Dolores
present a novelty act that is Just
as CLASSY as can be. and was the
feature OF the Sheridan theatre in
Pittsburgh all last week. The act
is built up and put on in a way
that indicates there was Construc-
tive brains p3: into the thing. and
the two performers do the act il
a mighty nice way. To review the
act in detail would rob it of part
OF the pleasure in seeing 1t, SO
the best one can do is TO so Ithat
It is an honest to goodness big
time act. Eugene Urban, accord

strument in a mastery manner.
Ono gains a new conception OF the
possibilities OF the ACCORDION in
his hands. and his work alone last
night was worth the price OF adj
mission. Fairmont has a number
OF aspirants on this instrument.

Public Responds
To Appeal Made

The response on the part Of the
public to the appeal made by Cook
Hospital for jams, jellies. preserves
an marmalades was by far the
most generous that has ever been
accorded any previous appeal.
The people OF the city we're moro
than generous. and all day long
the jars Of fruit and glasses of
jelly kept pouring in until the
empty preserve shelves in the hos
Ipital presses we're filled with the

the women of the vicinity.

pecially fine. The hospital has
numbers of patients from these ad-
jacent towns who will actually gel
'"home fixin's" out Of the contribu-
lions from their W neighborhood.
The donations brought in to the
hospital on the annual donation
day are solicited for the patients
alone, and not a spoonful of these
contributions are served in the
nurses dining room, because they
have been sent in for the sick.
However among the contributions
received were some happy surprises
for the nurses. There we're some
packages and baskets which were
labeled especially for them, and
they were more than gratefully re.
'ceived.
Since there are no facilities for
canning and preserving in the hos
'pltal kitchens and no n with time
to do.tt IL there were such facili-'
ties the nurses have no iellies or
jams or home made stuff of any,
kind, and to the staff who reside
there, and the pupil nurses, the
donations received marked espe.

gifts indeed and appreciated great

These contributions for the
nurses came from women who are
familiar with conditions at the in

the nurses and patients, in response
to the appeal.

to Picking by foreigners who have

Ochang which has looted the city
three times during the last four
months. The bodies Of theiT vic
Tins are Invariably stripped Of
their clothing and then thrown into
the Yangt2e together with their
heads.
These atrocities were brought TO
General WI Pei-fu's attention on his
arrival at Tchang owing to tho fact
that some Of the original garrison
one day mistook a Chinese collector
for the Standard Oil company for .
Southern soldier and cut of his
head in the usual manner. They
did not find out their mistake I'm
til they went through their victim:
clothing in search Of loot and found
instead documents proving his iden

In order to smooth matters over

the body OF the deceased out OF tho

and bought the best coffin that they
could afford. Corpse and coffin
were then carried to the home Of
