OCT THE Ml EMU ISS0GUTI01 A Committee Will bo Appointed to Make Arrangements for Hallowe'en. The monthly meeting of the Mercantile Association, last night, was of short duration. President O'Neal made the suggestion that either a Hallowe'en celebration or a banquet in the near future be held.

Fred 8. Clark thought the lan-quet should be after Christmas. J. Palmer Conway, Edward R. Pusey, W.

E. Frank and others favored the banquet idea. O. C. Purdy favored the parade, but was never in favor of a banquet.

He said he was willing to take part in either. Mr. O'Neal spoke of the firemen's parade in Reading, as evidence of the enthusiasm of the people of that city in its affairs. He thought there should be more enthusiasm in the conduct of the business of this citv. On motion of Edward R.

Pusey, a committee was appointed to make arrangements for a Hallowe'en parade. The chair was given the privilege to appoint the committee at his convenience. The committee will be authorized to collect subscriptions. Daniel W. Lynch, O.

C. Purdy and W. E. Frank made addresses. OPEEA HOUSE BILL MADE HIT.

The New Attraction Pleases the Patrons and Proves a Drawing Card. At the Grand Opera House yesterday the fourth vaudeville bill of the present season was put on and it made an Immense hit from the start. Each act met with approval. The Bijou Circuit Co. fully kept its promise made at the beginning of the season that the attractions would improve.

The Opera House is playing to more people each week than was formerly the house record for a month and it has been going on at this rate ever since the Bijou Circuit Co. took it. i The bill which opened yesterday is largely a comedy bill, though comedy Is not the only thing in it. The Peskoff Troupe of ten Russian dancers is the only number which is retained from the first half of the week. These clever dancers, who so well and gracefully give the native Russian dances, difficult "as they are, are adding to their reputation each day that theo remain at the house.

The other acts are all new. Miles and Raymond are there with a good laugh producer in "The Original Baby in the Cradle." Ballo Brother, the Mexican serenaders, were prime favorites from the start and -they have a musical act which is a revelation to many people. The Sidonlans in "The Lady Artist and the Tramp" are another pair of excellent laugh producers. There is plenty of good, clean, bright comedy in this act. The Great Hugo, assisted by Mme.

Henrietta, who is a remarkably pretty young woman, has succeeded in Minutes in the Coliseum at Rome." She has a headliner. The name gives an indication of the general idea of the act, but it would have to be seen to be appreciated. Two new reels of moving pictures were also put on at the Opera House yesterday for the first time anywhere and they comprised one of the pleasing portions of the programme. The pictures are excellent in every way and the subjects are also pleasing, which goes far toward the enjoyment of any picture. The crowds yesterday were unusually enthusiastic and nothing but commendation was heard for the bill.

The usual matinees will be given each day at 2.30 o'clock and evening performances at 7.30 and 9. AMUSEMENTS. A Detroit paper thus refers to Clara Belle Jerome in which will be among the attractions making up the opening bill at the Garrick next week. "A spectacular musical comedy entitled 'Joyland' in which Miss Clara Belle Jerome Is the particularly star, is one of the most pretentions seen at the Temple Theatre for some time, and the big audience of Monday afternoon enjoyed the presentation to the utmost. Gus Soblke is one of the most capable men in the country In the training of choruses and as stage manager and producer Is responsible Joyland," and it Is really all the name implies.

Miss Jerome is a very pretty girl with a pleasing voice and is the feature in the act, and there Is a chorus of eight little girls as dancing- toodles, frolicsome frogs and animated cornstalks. It is elaborately staged and decidedly unique as a production." Miss Jerome is but one of several high-class artists who figure in the owning bill at this handsome playhouse. The sale of seats for next week opens tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Marriage Kept a Secret. Announcement has just been made of (he marriage of Mins Irene Schiles and James Donovan, both of ibis city, which took place on February 20th, of this year.

The ceremony wa performed by Rev. Turner, pastur of Brandy wine M. Church. COLORED FIGHTER BESTS KAUFMAN 5an Francisco Lad Wat Out-pointed in Ten Rounds. Colma, Sept.

At this time when the enlargement of navies is subject for comment throughout the world, it is interesting to know that almost every navy in the world sends to the United States for oars to equip the barges and small boats carried by the cruisers and battleships.

Nothing has been found to approach the ash wood of America for strength, lightness and general adaptability for this purpose, orare oars the sole product sought here by other navies. Nearly every government 'that has a navy has also its representative, usually a naval constructor of rank and experience, stationed here to inspect and pass upon such purchases. Among those here is Colonel Georgio Pruneri, of the royal Italian Navy, who makes his headquarters at the Bellevue Stratford. Colon 1 Pruneri has spent two years in Philadelphia, detailed here originally in 1907 to inspect the manufacture of armor flate made by the Midvale Steel Works or the Italian government. Since that contract was filled the colonel has remained here, buying oars and other things.

Colonel Pruneri naval constructor of wide reputation, and owing to his official position be declined to discuss the building of the two big battle ships of the Dreadnought type for the United States government, for which contracts were received In this port by the Cramp and New York Shipbuilding companies. QVVith pride, however, he called attention to the fact that his own government was the first to build big war vessels and said that Colonel Cunibertl, of the royal Italian the constructor of the latest type built by his government, has been accorded the honor of the first conception of the idea by naval authorities throughout the world. "The time has come," said Colonel Pruneri, "that all governments approve the building of the largest vesaels only. That is, of course, if they have the money. But all agree that one of the very largest possible battleships is worth more than several smaller cruteers.

Such things cost an enormous sum, of course, not alone for building, but maintenance. It is like building a great house and not having enough money left over to pay for the proper number of servants, for a government to build kuch a battleship and then be unable to man it properly. It is of the highest importance that auuh things be accessible at home, for in the event of war outside contracts are tied up by the neutrality laws. Such circumstances have interfered frequently with nations that are compelled to buy goods elsewhere. But all the nations come hero to the United States for their oars and will indefinitely, I suppose.

"In Italy the armor-plate question has now become a national consideration. We no more have to go outaide for it, having Bijou Circuit Saturday, September V. o9 Varnishes. hi 4 fffcilvro ChTldrr yl Cximpanj, Manager. The Sidonias.

Leavei a Perfect Imprint of Tree on Body of Father and Son. Salt Lake Herald Republican. Without local parallel is the sttange case of E. J.

The lightuing left perfect photographs of a nearby tree imprinted on the bodies of the father and son. Both weie reudeml unconscious and temporarily paralyzed, but are fast recovering. The two had gone to Mill Creek for an afternoou with the trout and had sought shelter under a large tree near a pile of lumber when the violent thunderstorm of Sunday passed over that region.
