 tain at Furniture Store

The John A. Andrews Furniture company has booked novelty stunt to appear at the store all next week. The famous what is it?" Curzyius by name will appear in the window from time to time and mystify the public. It will not bat an eyelash, and to anybody who makes the figure smile goes $500 for their ability as mirth provokers.
 Guessing Contest.
 A guessing coupon will be passed out to the public, and if, they guess whether it is man, woman, child or machine and the age of the same, thev get s1O in gold. If more than one is correct, they all will get the ten spot" The hours for appear ance are: Monday, Tuesday, Thurs day and Friday from 2 to p. m. and to 6 D. m On Wednesday,, Cur zyius will appear from 10 to II a. m. Saturday, the feature day, it will ap- pear from 4 to D.. and from 8 to D. m. at which time Curzyius will be exposed to the public and prizees awarded, if anybody is fortunate enough to guess the questionnaire.

 Curzyius has four uniforms, viz, mechanical doll, full dress suit, Tux edo and an English walking suit. The men are allowed to shake hands with the mystery and the girls are allow ed to Kiss "Curzy' if they want to. This feature has proven a big draw ing card and one Saturday night re- gently in Bridgeport, the police re- serves had to be called out so big was the crowd. H. F.

Illinois Visitor to Atlantic City Pro. tests Against Vision He Saw
 When Curtains Blew Open.

Atlantic City, N. J., July 22.-A protest against girls using automobiles as bathing houses at street ends. in which to change from surf attire to street garb, was made yesterday by E. A. Mclaughlin, a visitor from Illinois, who sent letter to Mayor Edward L. Bader and the department of public safety. It read in part:
 One thing I will say is wrong. That, of course, your men cannot be blamed for, as they cannot see every thing, but on going down Massa ., chusetts avenue from the Boardwalk (and we had two little children with us) there was a girl disrobed in an automobile. It is true the machine had curtains on, but the wind was high. I learned afterwards she was changing her bathing suit for street |dress, very bad practice where chil- dren are all around, and surely should be put a stop to. Il just thought I would drop this little note, as it would be too bad Ito spoil such a wonderful resort, and to my mind, considering the crowd I saw there yesterday, you and your entire force are to be congratulated. never saw better order with the exception mentioned
