BATHING BEAUTS
FUNNY AND
FESTIVE

A lot Of folks who journeyed
down to the Gayety last night
found RUDE Bernstein's Bathing
Beauties" mighty entertaining.
OF course most of the entertain
ment is a lot of nonsense, but it
is put over in such a way that
even the hard-boiled burlesque
devotees had to laugh in spite of
themselves.
The laugh producers are Jack
Hunt and Clyde Bates, the fun
sters Of the tramp variety. This
pair have a big following on the
Columbia wheel and their work
this season is about the best they
have ever done.
Leading the Bathing Beauties
are three winsome girls-Marie
Hart, Winnie Phillips and Kittie
Madison-and they had their au-
dience with them right from the
start. This trio was particularly
effective in the parade of the
bathing girls.
Happy" Will Smith, the white
minstrel, got his act over with
"A bang. Others who aid in MAX
ing this one of the best shows of
the waning season are Dudley
Farnsworth, and Dorsey Biron.-

The bandit slain here Saturday night
after he had shot and fatally wound
ed Charles Hammond, city detec-

Anderson went to his death fight
ing. So did Detective Hammond

ton and then killed Anderson with
latters own weapon.
The arrest was made after Ander.

ed one for a box of candy at the
Colonial Cafe. Suspicious of the bill
the cashier sent it across the street to
a bank where it was declared coun-
terfeit. Hammond was then detailed
to pick the man up. He found him
mixing with a crowd on the street
and told Anderson to accompany him
to the station. He walked along I'M
til he was nearing the police station
then he slipped revolver from pocket
and fired two shots which went wild.
Anderson then ran into an alley,
closely followed by HamOmnd. As
Hammond grabbed him the bandit
turned and fired at close range, the
bullet entering Hammond's lung and
liver. Hammond then wrested the
revolver from Anderson and shot
him through the heart.

the councilmanic race closed Satur-
day afternoon with G. C. Webb, of
Webb & Ellis; Nathan Murray, local
druggist, and H. S. Walker, of H. S.
Walker and Co., as entrJnts for
the three places. In as much as
there will be no opposition candi-
dates, these three will be nominated,
subject to the general election later
on.
The three vacancies are caused by
the expiration of the terms of Coun-
cilmen Nathan Murray, Edgar Shipp
and Joel Hightower. Both Mr..
Hightower and Mr.. Shipp declined
to again enter, both, however. were
urged by many citizens to again
make the race.
The registration books in the city
hall are now open and will remain
open until through November 10th,
it is stated by the city clerk.
At the general election another
place likely will be vacant. Council.

Recorder Monday morning that he
would tender his resignation to the
mayor prior to the general election
Mr.. Mitchell declines, he says, ia
serve out his entire term. He init
mated that he would make a state
ment, giving his reasons for his res.
ignation when it is handed Mayor
Pool later in the year.
Il would not and will not put the
city to any expense by resigning at
the general election" Mr.. Mitchell
said. "The three vacancies on coun-
Gil must be filled then, and without
additional expense, my place can
then be filled"
Mr.. Ship has served only one
term, but it has been busy term
for him, he said Saturday to a num-
Der of friends who were begging hir,
to allow them to enter his name. Nj
Ship stated that he had several
civic Offices and other dutuies of a
public natute that required I'll the
time he can devote to things other
than his business, and he felt that
some other citizen should take his
place on couDcil.
Nathan Murray, has completed one
term, this being his second. Mr..
Hightower's refusal, was based on
his long absence from the city, it is
understood. He felt that some one
who is here all of the time should
take his place.

day entering its greatest period of
prosperity, James M. Strong, of
Watertown, N. Y, said today.
Mr.. Strong, who is a brother of
Mrs. John Goolsby, is in the city for
few days, his first visit here in sew
eral years. His business is the sale
of stocks and bonds. Knowing the

worthy of serious consideration. In

The one thing that impresses me

ALL SAINTS DAY
AT CALVARY
Interesting Sermon By Rector
James B. Lawrence On Book
of Revelations; Holy Com
munion Administered

All Saints Day and Holy Com
munion were observed in the morn
ing service yesterday at Calvary
Episcopal Church.
After a beautiful prayer service
and with songs by the choir and con-
gregation, Rev. James Lawrence
preached the morning sermon.
Using parts of the 7th chapter of
the Revelation of St. John the Di-
vine as his scripture Rev. Lawrence
among other things said: "The Bible
is interesting, it's the people that are
not interested in the Bible. 1t requir-
ed great skill in the writing of the
Bible, thing that the people should
appreciate"
In speaking of the Revelations Of
st. John, Rev. Lawrence said that
few people were interested in that
brook, but felt that it would prove
much more interesting to the reade
than the reading of the Revelations
of a Wife" and other revelations
that appear in the newspapers.
He spoke at length on the dark
ness, sadness and trials told in the
book of Revelations but stressed the
fact that there were also great prom
ises of light, joy and happiness made
in the same book,
After this very interesting sermon,
Holy Communion was administered
by the Rector to the members of the
faith.
