3 FIRST MOVIE SHOW.
Describing the first showing of the
new motion picture films Of Mr.. Jsnk-
ins, Homer Croy, a well-known movie
chronicler. writes a. follows.
"The summer vacation came along
after q while. az Ii always does, and
C. Francis asked for an extra week.
On ahead he sent mysterious box by
express. and then. mounting his BIZ
cycle. rode the whole distance-72o
miles--to Richmond. Ind, his home.
When he got there ne was . hero.
ITO jewelry store run BY his cou-
sin he took the mysterious box and
asked III the curtains might be drawn
down for q brief bit Business was
never 30 brisk In Richmond that the
sacrifice would be absolutely disas-
trous. The only electricity was a
trolley-wire passing the door, and.
using a pail OF water as a rheostat,
c. Francis made his connections. In
vited in were his father and mother.
the editor of the local paper, and a
few others.
LOOK FOR TRICK
"Not a word had the young man
said OF what they were to see. To
them ii was just another of Francis
time killers The room was dark
ened; there were sputtering, a
grinding and a groaning of moving
machinery, and out on the wall before
the astonished eyes OF the good citi-
zens stepped young and more or less
beautiful girl. They gasped-thefe
WAS some trick to II. because there
wasn't any trap-door In the wall.
People was getting so slick with
them shadowgraphs, anyway! Just
the other night there had been fel-
low down to the Opry-house who
could wrap a handk erchief around his
hands and make pictures Of almost
any animal, especially a rabbit And
he could make them move! Especially
the ears.
"They no longer turned to watch c.
Francis, for the girl was trying to
initiate q butterfly. In her hand she
held sticks and to these were fastened
the draperies of her gown. Higher
and higher she began to lift her
skirts, while around she flapped her
sticks-in imitation OF a butterfly that
suddenly feels itself called on to
dance. Higher and higher the skirts
went a. the contortions OF the lepi-
dopteraI creature grew more per-
fervid.
THE WOMEN LEFT.
srhe men lost all interest in c.
Francis, while the good women turn
ed 10 look At each other. What had c.
Francis been doing all this time in
the wicked city Of Warrington? That
came from letting boys get away
from home. But the men did not care.
c. Francis could 80 to where Tall
madge said-they wanted to see the
rest of that dance.
1.-THE skirts went higher
"And then two or three OF the good
women. nudging each other signifi-
cantly. got up and marched out--thus
leaving the first motion picture show
In the history of the world The date
was June @. 1894"

CHILDREN IN THE STREETS

MAGISTRATE DOUGHERTY. threat
lSl ening yesterday to put fines on parents
who permit their children to play recklessly
In heavily travelled streets and to cultivate
habit Of riding on the tailboards Of trucks
and wagons, desired, apparently, to put
unusual emphasis on u needed word Of
warning.
Traffic laws and the rules established and
accepted for the regulation of motor vehicles
reflect the desire Of the authorities and
motor drivers 30 keep the streets safe for
everybody. IL II not asking too much to
gnggest and even demand that parents do
their necessary part toward keeping little
children from accidental injury.
The yearly number Of traffic accidents In
which children are hurt grows steadily.
Public opinion and the opinion Of jurios are
usually satisfied to put all the blame on
motor drivers. Yet a broader view ought
to be encouraged for the greater safety of
children themselves.
There ought to be rigidly enforced police
rules to discourage the youngsters who dart
IN and out OF heavy traffic currents seeking
free rides, and parents themselves should
be the first to discourage and even punish
that extremely dangerous habit.

SCHOOLS AND BUSINESS

60 FAR as appears, the survey of the
~ local school system begun by the Edu-
cational Committee Of the Chamber of Com
merce is for different purpose from the
survey now in progress under the direction
of the State Superintendent of Public In
struction.
The Chamber of Commerce is nppnrcntlv
interested in a standardized system of bust :
ness education which, while decreasing the
percentage of illiteracy, will also equip the
graduates of the schools for an intelligent
understanding Of the work which they will
have to undertake when they begin to earn
q living.
The interest which the business men in
the Chamber are thus taking in the schools
Is wholesome thing. They would not be
troubling themselves with the matter II they
had not become convinced that the best way
TO secure we'll equipped recruits for their
establishments Is to look into the training
that these recruits receive in school. II the
business men insist that the graduates shall
be able to write an intelligent letter and to
understand the elementary principles of
arithmetic and 20 know something about the
geography Of the world as well as OF their
swn country, it may come about that the
boys and girls not so equipped will be kept
N school until they make up their de-
Nciencies

END OF AN EYESORE

d ES1DENTS in the neighborhood of
1N Forty second street, between Spruce
and Locust, will learn with qualification
that the plans have been drawn for the new
buildings for the Episcopal Divinity School
to be erected on the site of the Clark resi-
dence, and that estimates of the cost have
been asked from contractors.
The plans provide for dormitory, a
chapel, library, lecture rooms and resi-
dences for the faculty. There is ample room
on the ive-acre tract for this group Of
buildings without covering it all The
buildings can be surrounded by lawns and
walks in such a way as to add to the at
tractiveness Of the whole neighborhood
The plot is an offense to the sight at the
present time. The Clark residence was torn
down few years ago, but since the trustees
OF the Divinity School bought the land it
has been allowed to grow up to weeds and
underbrush. The fences have fallen down
and rubbish of various kinds has been
dumped on it. If the work of building is
to begin in the fall it will not be much
more than year before grace and beauty
dtsplace the present unsightlness.

A JUDGE UPON JUDGES

u ESIGNING as contributing editor Of
N the PUBLIC LEDGER, William II. Taft
has taken particular pains to emphasize
"the degree in which a Judge should sep
arate himself from general activities as
citizen and member Of the community"
The point he admits in his valedictory, "is
not usually fixed by statutory law, but by
a due sense of propriety, considering the
nature Of his Office. and by well established
custom"
"a Judge" maintains the Chief Justice
OF the United States Supreme Court,
"shoud avoid extra judicial activities not
only because they may put him In an att-
tude actually or seemingly inconsistent with
absolute impartialty in the discharge Of his
judicial duties, but also because he owes his
whole time and energy to his judicial work"
There can be no question that the Ma
tion's highest judicial officer has admirably
expounded his own case. It's application,
however, need not be narrowed. 1t is here
with respectfully referred to President Judge
Brown, of the Municipal Court of Philadel-
phia, and to his colleague on the bench,
Judge Eugene @. Bonniwell, and TO any
other Judges who are inclined to dabble In
the unjudicial business Of give and take

NOT TOO MANY LAWYERS

THREE local lawyers have announced
l. that they are candidates for election as
delegates to the Constitutional Convention
There should be lawyers in the convention
az a matter Of course, but it would be a
mistake to have it composed entirely of
lawyers.
The Constitution lays down the funda-
mental rules for the management Of the
State charities, for the conduct of the public
educational system, for the chartering of
corporations and for dozen other activities
of the people.
These rules cannot properly be revised
unless the convention contains men familiar
with the matters affected It is manifest
that the delegates should be representative
Of oil the interests in the Commonwealth.
These interests include politics as we'll as
other things.
Political experts can guide the convention
from the rocks of visionary and impractical
changes. for they know better than the
politically inexperienced what can be done
and what cannot be done. It Ia their busi-
ness to understand the state of public senti-
ment. Yes. whoever else may be in the
convention. there must be leaven of poll
ticians. They, however, can be trusted to
see to this. Such danger as there may be
lies in the possibility Of too large a repre-
sentation Of the politicians.
1t Is not too early Tor public spirited
citizens interested in bringing the Consti-
tuition up to date TO announce their candi-
dacy and to begin to seek the support of
the voters.
The redrafting of the Constitution Is too
big a task for mere ward workers to under
take. but unless better equipped men offer
themselves there will be grave danger that
the ward worker will get the nomination In
many cases.
The men who drafted the law providing
for the convention foresaw this danger and
provided against il. Governor Sproul Is
authorized to name twenty five of the dele
gates, and II is assumed that he will select
a group Of the most representative citizens
