Antonion Martone of Boston, well

piano was the means of drawing a
large crowd to the store. His roper
torie ranged from classic selections
to sentimental ballads, and it includ-
ed some snappy popular numbers.
One of the hits of his program was
his clever rendition of duet as sung
in ''Tin Pan Alley" in which he imi-
tated the deep tones of the male
singer and the quaers of the femi-
nine songster with equal ability
Callers were given appropriate sou

ed auspiciously Saturday at the Gar
diner High School auditorium when
Marchetti's Swiss Yodlers and Cap
tain T. Dinsmore Upton comprised
the program which was presented be-
fore large audiences. In the after
noon The Juniors took part in a pro-
gram of especial interest, and the
Swiss Yodlers were received with
favor. The program that they Offer
ed was somewhat unusual for Gardi-
ner audiences, the feature being the
famous Swiss echo song which many
people heard for the first time Sat
urday. The picturesque native noun
tain attire of the artists added much
to the colorfulness of their program.
Henry Marchetti is manager of the
company; Martha Marchetti, contral-
to; Constantin Wunderle, either
player, and Jack JosS solo yodler.

OF the evening was Captain T. Dins-
more Upton who took as his topic
Metal and the Mould" His talk dealt
with the ever present problems of the

statements. His talk was a helpful
one. and one that will long be remem-

EARLY MORNING
FIRE ON WATER ST.
DOES DAMAGE

About 1.20 A. M, HallowelTs
peaceful Sunday morning sleep was
disturbed by an alarm of fire for a
tlaze in the double block on the
east side of Water street, owned by
A. H. Downes, numbers 212 and 214,
The fire was discovered by Ralph
Davis. who gave the alarm. No one
was at home in either Mr.. Downe's
part of the house or that occupied by
by his daughter, Mrs. Lewis. There
had been no one in the house since
Friday, so the origin of the fire is a
mystery. 1t is said that a chimney
fire may have smouldered some time
before breaking out; for one of the
chi1nney's is of old style, with several
fues. The fire department respond
ed promptly, and after a hard fight
the all out" sounded about . o'clock.
The work of the fire department de-
serves the highest praise. Water
street for some distance up is all
wooden buildings closely connected
and all might have gone. Fortunately
1t was a still morning. The nearby
houses were saved by keeping a
stream of water playing on them.
The Downes block was Quilted. Some
furniture was saved from one tene-
ment. There was some insurance.
The exact amount of damage was not
known.

Interesting Lecture
Auspices Bible Assn

An extremely interesting and time
ly lecture was given last evening in
City hall under the auspices of the
International Bible Students Asso-
citation. The speaker was II. l.. Phil
brick of Boston. His address was
clear, logical and instructive. Com
ing at this particular moment in the
worlds history, il was most timely.
Mr.. Philbrick spoke of the contro-
versy that these is at present over
the nature of Jesus and the differ
ences of opinion between fundamen-
talists and modernists that are divid-
ing the Protestant churches and
causing so much controversy.
He explained these terms, then he
went on to show that in real study
of the Bible is found the answer TO
the question of the nature of Jesus.
With the scriptures as a basis, Mr..
Philbrick made clear Gods plan for
His people and showed how one
might endure these present tribula-
tions with fortitude in view of what
God has in store for His people
There was an excellent audience.

the child to coordinate the opera
ton of muscles and brain. In his
opinion, it is much less expensive to
care for the growing youngster py
providing such recreation, and py
winning his confidence than to care
for the boy and girl later in the
House of correction. 1t is the feeling
of confidence that Captain Upton In
spires that leads his audiences to re-
member his philosophy.
Sunday evening vesper service
was conducted at 7.30 at which the
Juniors gave a brief but enjoyable
concert. Captain Upton was heard
again, and a silver collection was
taken which will go to the grantors.
Today Mrs. Josephine DOminick will

"Well Dressed on a Moderate In
come" 1t is a study of the funda-
mentals of good taste on moderate
allowance, and is illustrated by spec
ial costumes carried by Mrs. Domin-
ick, and worn by assistants. This
should be of special interest. To-
night will be the banner night of the
Chautauqua when the famous comedy
drama "Give and Take" will be pre-
sented Ga; liner audiences always
enjoy a good play and this promises
to be one of the best. 1t is a farce
on modern business and economic
life, and is a real Chautaqua play,
