Orleans Chautauoua.

The chautauqua for 1921 has com.
and gone. That is, the tent and tai
emit have gone. How long its infiu
ence shall remain or how far it ma,
spread in ever widening circles. none
can tell. The entertainments anc
lectures have been of q high order
and well worthy Of the Chautauqus
From the Junior parade Monday
evening to the closing lecture Satur.
day evening, there have been few
weak spots.
The Syracuse Varsity quartet. the
Arion Entertainers, the New Eng.
landers and the International Concert
party were all talented entertainers
of a high order. Col Evans, as q
substitute for Sherman Rogers, need
ed no apology.
Brush, the Great, with his magic
>Mirth, and Mystery" created no end
of merriment and establishment by
his really wonderful skill as magi-
clan.
If you did not hear Strickland Gil
lilan you missed something original
as a lecture. His wit was Astounding
and sandwiched in with the fun were
those little sermons that stood out
so clearly because Of their unique set
ting.
Mother Lake had the smallest au-
dience in the course, but it is no
stretch of imagination to say that
her message, "The Divine Right OF
Childhood" was fraught with prob
lens of greater moment to the chill
dren and the coming generation than
any other number in the entire
course. - / sF.e--s lEllsss-.--
''The Cinderella Man." was q sweet
story of the contrasts Of poverty and
wealth, love and worldliness. Every
actor was q star, and they held the
closest attention Of the large audi
ence from start to finish.
Under the guidance Of the play
leader Miss Feakins. and her. assist
ants, the week has been q round Of
one happy day after another for the
children. The elimination came
Saturday afternoon when they pre-
sented the Junior Pageant, 1.-THE
Cruise of Jolity." Considering the
limited time for it's preparation, the
production was very creditable.
The entertainment by the Princess
Nacoomee Company Saturday after
noon was somewhat marred by the
heavy rain which necessitated a sus-
pension until the speakers could be
heard. The Princess and her father,
Chief Tahan, gave interesting nara
tives concerning the habits and GUS
toms of their race. They, themsel-
yes were living examples of what
education and real civilization may
do for the American Indian.
The sale of season tickets has been
disappointing. The committee were
unable to place the number contract
ed for, and the balance, about $3.50.
had to be drawn from the reserve
chautauqua fund, accumulated during
the first two years, when conditions
were more liberal. The guarantees
have been raised every year until
this, the seventh season, brings a de-
ficit. Much as the committee regret
the decision, in view of the increased
guarantee asked and the prevailing
economic conditions, they were unani-
nous in the opinion that it would be
unwise to at this time, contract for
next season.
Let us hope that the time will soon
come when the requirements and con-
ditions will again permit the chau-
tauqua to return to Orleans.

capitol from a distance of 78 miles
He said he was tremendously surprised
when he saw one of the shells and
learned it was patterned exactly after
his models. He said he told, French
officers about it and they did not be-

France to Observe
Our Memorial Day
Plans for Observance of Memorial Day
Throughout France Have Already
Been Made.
(By Associated Press)


Paris.-Plans for Memorial Day and
commemorative exercises throughout
France in honor of Americas dead who
lie in French soil, have been consid-
cred by the American memorial COM
mittee at meeting held at the Ameri-
can Legion headquarters here. This
general committee unites, under the
honorary presidency of Ambassador
Hugh c. Wallace, virtually all Ameri-
can activities in France including the
embassy, the various consulates, graves
registration service, American Legion
and auxiliary, Red Cross, Y. NJ. C. A.,
Y. w. C. A., Knights of Columbus, Jew
ish Welfare, the American churches,
American Chamber Of Commerce,
American hospital, Women's Club,
Franco-American Welfare and the
American public\at' large.
Following the program adopted last
year, the committee will provide for
the placing of flowers or wreath upon
every grave in France and will organ
ize appropriate exercises at all of the
principal military and civil cemeteries
where American dead are buried.
Due to the generous contributions
made last year, the committee finds
that the funds on hand for this years
ceremonies are ample to cover the
prospective expenses of the program.
Therefore it announces that no appeal
will be made to the public by the COM
mittee for funds for the ceremonies of
1921.

PLOWSHARE BARES
AN OLD HEADSTONE
Pleasant Prairie Has Mystery Started
This Morning When Plowman
Unearths Old Stone

A burial place long forgotten is be-
morning when Hans Johnson, while
blowing in a field on the farm owned
by the Hercules Powder company in
Pleasant Prairie unearthed a long
stone, which is believed to have been
headstone for grave. The field has
been under cultivation for several
years and time and again those who
have been engaged in blowing the field
have had the plowshare catch on the
stone. Friday afternoon when this oc-
Cured Johnson determined to inves-
tigate. This morning he dug out the
stone and found it to be a square
seven inch stone about four feet in
length. 1t appears to have been care
fully placed in the ground as if mark
ing the spot where someone was buried.
The workmen are digging deeper and
the soggy condition of the ground
seems to indicate that grave is To-
Gated at the place.
The farm was formerly part of the
old Truesdell farm and is one of the
oldest farms in the county. 1t is
thought that in pioneer days, a body
may have been buried here and the
grave marked in this strange manner.
It was suggested that the stone
might be a cornerstone placed there
by a surveyor but it is declared, that
it is not at all shaped for this nor is
it set in the proper manner.

LACK OF LICENSE
DELAYS WEDDING
Misfortune Follows Ralph
Vena to Hymeneal Altar
Again Thursday.
BUT CUPID WINS OUT
Deputy Clerk Finally Located
and License Found and All
Everything Is Lovely.

"The course of true love never runs
smooth" according to an old adage.
If it can be deduced from the above
that a courtship which has had rocky
course will be followed by unalloyed
connubial bliss, Ralph Vena of 1853
Newell street ought not to fear for his
future happiness. Thursday evening
at about $3.50 o'clock he was married
to Miss Caroline Passarelli but not I'M
til after delay-the second one which
las occurred in his plans--which for a
time threatened to force him to post
pone his wedding until another day.
Everything There But License.
The couple had made all their plans
to be married at 1880 o'clock in Judge
Taylor's Office with the wedding din
nert to follow at their home. The
bridal party appeared at the Office of
the judge, who was all ready to tie
the nuptial knot
Then request was made for the
license and tie bridegroom in perplex-
ity told how he had asked the county
clerk to leave the important document
with the judge. Evidently this had
been overlooked. An effort was made
to locate anyone connected with the
Office of the county clerk and for al
most an hour no one could be found.
Judge Taylor pointed out that it was
impossible to proceed with the cere-
mony without license and advised
the couple to postpone the wedding
until the next day.
Dad luck to set new day." was tha
only comment from the bridegroom as
he frantically made new attempts to
secure the coveted license.
Deputy Clerk Is Found.
Finally, after several futile tele-
phone calls, the deputy county clerk
was found in a local dentists Office.
Thismas left immediately and five
minutes later with the delayed license
in his hands, Judge Taylor pronounced
the ceremony which married the cou-
pie. Then all was merry as the mar
riage bell as the couple went to their
home on North Newell street.
The bridegroom, Ralph Vena. is the
man who several months ago had set
the date for his wedding to Miss Pass
srelli and at the last moment these
plans were interefered with when his
brothers brought up the question that
Vena was married by affidavit to a
young woman, supposed to be on her
way to America from Italy. The we'd
ding plans were postponed until an
exchange of letters brought out set
Element of that difficulty.

Union Grove Has
Big Fire Scare
Oil Stove Sets Anderson Bakery Ablaze
on Friday and Does $500 Damage
sa Before Stopped.

The village of Union Grove narrowly
escaped serious confagration Friday
morning when a building occupied by
the Anderson bakery was discovered to
be on fire. The bakery occupies the
lower floor and the Anderson family
the fat above. For perhaps half an
hour the family left the fiat. There
was an oil stove burning in the hall
way and when a member of the family
went upstairs. the place was in flames.
The fire department. was called and af-
ter a hard fight controlled the fire but
not before doors and woodwork were
badly charred. 1t is estimated that the
damage will reach $500 or $500. There
are many frame buildings in the dis
trict and it was feared for a time thai
the fire might spread to other struc-
lures.

COURT SHUTS DOOR
IN STILLMAN SCANDAL
Mrs. Stillman Is Granted AIimony of
$500 Month and Counsel
Fees of $4,000.
fBy Associated Pressl

Poughkeepsie, N. Temporary ali
mony Of $500 a month, counsel fees
of $4,000 and S12,500 for expenses,
were fixed today for Mrs. Anne q.
Stillman by Supreme Court Justice Jo-
seph MorschAuser in the suit for di-
vorce instituted against her by James
A. Stillman president of the National
City Bank of New York. Mrs. Stillman
had asked alimony of $4,000 a month
and $4,000 counsel fees. Justice
Morschauser made public his decision
after he had tran smitted to the court
clerk at White Plains along with affi-
davits and pleadings presented in the
case. In his decision the justice ruled
out of the divorce suit as confidential
and privileged the alleged confession"
letter written to Mr.. Stillman by his
wife. He also ruled out letters writ
ten to Mrs. Stillman by Fred Beauvais,
an Indian guide, who was named in the
bankers complaint as correspondent
and accused Of being the father of Mrs,
Stillman's infant son, Guy. Referring
to. Mrs. Stillman' $ charge that her hus-
band is the father Of 80 months old
son born to "Mrs. Florence H. Leeds"
former musical revue girl, the decision
said: "The defendant has amended
her answer and charges acts and con-
duct upon the plaintiff of similar char
acter as charged by him against her
and such acts are supported by afida-
Wits Of different persons. She does not
seek a divorce, but pleads recrimina-
ton against the defendant as a de-
Tense. If the acts and conduct as
charged against each other are sus-
tanned, neither will be entitled to a
decree. If these charges are establish
ed, the plaintiff and defendant will find
themselves in the same position as be-
fore the commencement of the action
except. that they will have had their
day in court, or perhaps several" Guy
Stillman, the infant whose legitimacy
was attacked by Mr.. Stillman and who
was named co-defendant with his
mother, twill bear a stain that cannot
be erased for which he is not respon-
sible, if the husband is successful in
his suit, said the decision. "Tbs plain
tiff seeks to do that which he believes
is his duty to himself and his chill
dreh," it continued. "The plaintiff hav-
ing challenged the paternity of the
child, the defendant comes to its pro-
lection and to the defense of its legit-
macy. That is her duty and she is
right in her claim She vigorously
champions the child's cause and this
is expected from any mother. The in
terests of the defendant and of the in
FAINT in this case are to great extent
the same" The three Stillman chill
dren, other than the infant whose pa
ternity is attacked, "are of sufficient
age to determine with whom they de-
sire to reside during the tendency OF
the action" Justice Morschauser said
