From the location of the bodies when found it is believed that the boys died practically in each other's arms, either trying to save each other or struggling to receive aid from one another in their death throes in the water. The Scarboro boy declares that they went four times while he was making an effort to aid them. When found the little shirts they wore had been pulled far up over their heads, apparently by the force of the current. While Roth rowed, Frick tried artificial respiration, although almost overcome by emotion, for he recognized in the little fellows, the two boy who all summer have been delivering evening papers to his boat-house.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SCHOOLS There are still a few people very few. those who have not made a personal investigation, who are still laboring under the impression that there is no difference between schools and that particularly, all business schools are alike. Since this class of schools usually adopts the same title "business." thev are alike in Fame but that is all and upon investigation it is quickly die-covered that there is as much differ ence between this class or schools' as there is between any and everything else in this world.

i Note' below juet a few points of difference between The American Commercial School, M. C. A. Building, this city, and any other In Priladejphia and WIlkea-Barre. The ANY AMERICAN.

VAUDEVILLE BILL HAS SOME NOVELTIES A rural comedy playlet, like a breath from the. wheat and corn fields, of the country, is featuring the new bill at the Orpheitm for the last half of this week.

Surrounding this act are four others of almost equal calibre. John T. Ray and Grace Hilliard, a names very familiar to all WJUtb of variety, are presenting the Wg act of the bill, the rural comedy! sketch entitled, "Hello The sketch is in two scenes, with two characters, that of a country bumpkin and a flippant chorus girl. Myrtle and Daisy, are two talented and pretty misses in just as billed, a shower. of melody, vocal and instrumental, and a big portion of the applause greeted their efforts yesterday at all three shows.

Mason, Wilbur and Jordon are three acrobats in soldier's garb, presenting a tumbling and acro batic novelty, entitled, "A Soldier's Dream." Mintz and Palmer are a pair of singers and dancers with fifteen minutes of genuine entertainment. Altus nre a pair of club swingers, also offering something new and original in the manipulation of clubs. After this week, the Lyceum theatre on Hamilton above Ninth street, will be the home of the vaudeville, the Wllmer and Vincent firm, who owns the Orpheum having leased the Ly-ceum to run the vaudeville. All the came high class Keith acts will be shown, just as at the Orpheum in the past. CALSMITH TO OPEN LABOR DAY The Calsmith Playeua will not be allowed the same privilege on Labor Day that will go to the merchant, mechanic and the whole public in general who will on this day rest from, the labors that go to make up their daily routine.

The actors know no holiday, except that it means extra work and effort to please the mighty throng who seek amusement and recreation on the days given over to rest and celebration. The Calsmiths look forward to this coming Labor Day as one of more than common pleasure. They know that while they have to work, and will work hard, they realize that it is to be a day of merriment and meeting of old friends who will be on hand to welcome the band of players, every one of whom are glad they are back, end this fact is what will make their Labor Day duties take the form of pleasure for them as well as their friends and patrons. "Our Wives," the opening play, will prove to be a delightful bill for the hoiiday, It is a comedy with a good story and a deal of the thngs that go with every day life. Laughter is its chief excuse.

In this it succeeds admirably and so well that the great reputation the play has attained, and the fact that it is new here, had much to do with the selection of the comedy for the opening week. Increased stage facilities, congenial surroundings, and the newly decorated Lyric and other noticeable Improvements will make the season one long engagement one of comfort and pleasure to artist and patron alike.

These running races will be made a feature of each day's race card, and furnished an interesting exhibition yesterday.

The day was designated as Governor's Day. Governor Tener passed through the town, stopping at the Keystone House for a short time, and taking a trip to the grounds. He did not make an address, however, as his time was too short. The attendance was about 2,500, far below expectations, but this was due in a great measure to the threatening weather, rain falling in Reading and elsewhere, while the weather was fine at the fair. It was a poor day for the vendors along the midway, who declare that this was their worst year.

ORPHEUM PLAYERS READY FOR OPENING Like plastic clay under the hands of a sculptor, the production of that great comedy, "The F6rtune Hunter," which will open the Orpheum theatre as the home of high class stock on Labor Day, Is rapidly assuming shape in the hands of the Orpheum Players, now in rehearsal under the direction of the able Addison Pitt. Each member is fast becoming perfect in his lines and situations and with two days more to put on the finishnig touches, the debut of stock at the Orpheum next week should be an auspicious one. The entire company, a score or more, have now become residents of this city and it is only a matter of days until they are all favorites with the theatre-goers. It cannot be but that way, for every member of the cast, down to the most minor role ha. been selected wtih such great care that their work on and off the stage will always be a subject of favorable comment.

The reputation of the "Fortune Hunter" as the greatest comedy hit of a decade is too well known to say much In that direction. The story is one of never ending, interest, with comedy and natural situations aplenty and just enough pathos to give it the proper balance. In short it is wholesome, moral-bearing and something different from the other get-rick-quick plots. The plan that a broken down rich mans son follows to regenerate himself and recover a fortune is cleverly worked out, with a charming romance that is necessary to bring the proper finish. GREAT ATTRACTION AT LYRIC SATURDAY Feats of fun, music, dances and over forty pretty girls will be among the great features that will be prominent in the big production of "The Ham Tree," that Mclntyre and Heath, under the direction of John Cort, will present at the Lyric Theatre- on Saturday matinee and evening.

Few can realize the real importance of this offering. A company that composes seventy clever singers, dancers and all around funmakers, must be fitted to supply a treat that will be a criterion for many months to come and that is just what ia promised all who go to the Lyric on Saturday. John Cort, the producing manager, is noted for the excellence of his productions. Expense is his last thought. To get results and please the people who want big entertainment at small prices is his one great aiubition.

Mr. Cort is one manager among the many who can enjoy his own shows. He says that a comedian who can make him laugh is worth all the salary that particular man can secure and stay within the bounds of reson. In the opinion of Mr. Cort his new stars Mclntyre and Heath.

ar the funniest pair in the world. Mr. Cort is not the only person who has this same opinion. Most anybody who has enjoyed the work of these two clever men will say the same thing and with a small army of clever artists to support them. Mr.

Cort thinks he has the greatest musical and funny show that will be seen on tour this season. Attention is called to the extremely low prices that will prevail for the engagement which will be confined to the two performances Saturday. of this s. Diamond. C.

The audience mar velled at the speed with which the principles of theJgame were grasped and the event became even more, in teresting to the children through teach ing them something new.

Instead or being merely an exhibition of" what they had learned. In the second place the children gave tre swimming drill, a series of exercises to acquire the motions of swimming oh dry land. It was a de lightful innovation. rn tho rooiiinr nwMrrnm wore a numherofrelav "races of various kinds, followed by group games such as dodge, touch and centre ball. Then came dramatic story telling with the acting by the children of the incidents narrated in the stories of "Nimme.

Nimme, Not," "Johnny Cake" and "Jack and the Bean-stalk." Then there was a flag drill with an exhibition of beautiful calisthenics, showing much grace on the part of the children. Sprinkled in with these numbers were nine folk dances, including, "Grandma's Old "Carrous-al," "Danish Dance of Greeting." "Heel and Toe Polka," "I See You." "Hungarian Dance," "Johnny Get Your Hair Cut." and others, i One of the prettiest features of the afte'rnoon was when all the the; children formed in-line, marched to the flag-pole from which floated Old Glory and surrounding it in a great circle gave the Salute to the Flag, followed by the recitation of the following pretty little poem Tell me if you can, about our flag With its red and white and blue, How it came to have so many stars And pretty stripes so few. The thirteen stripes are for thirteen states, That first into union came. And for each new state we have added a star But kept the stripes the same. And this is the flag for all our land, We will revere no other.

And he who loves the symbol fair, Shall be to us a brother. After the exhibition the visitors were given an opportunity to inspect the industrial- work done on the grounds during the past week, for that was all the time given to It. Never- theless there was a neat and large showing of. picture frames, napkin rings, baskets and other articles of raffia. The children did a lot of neat sewing as well, all of course deeply pleasing to the parents.

When the children arrived on the grounds yesterday it was to find that one of their best swings, an iron affair had been completely destroyed during the night by vandals and the neighborhood is up in arms agaist the marauders. VETERAN SHOWMEN HOLD, ANOTHER MEETING The Veteran Showmen's Association of Allentown was formally launched last evening when the first business meeting of the association at the Good Will Cafe, on South Eighth street, held and officers for the first year were elected and at the same time, arrangements were made for a performance to be held in the Lyric Theatre some time later in the season. The meeting was largely attended and only a glance at those present last night will give anyone an idea of how many old showmen, and manyTof them famous showmen too, there are In Allentown. The object of this nssociation is a worthy one for it-is the idea of these old-time stage and circus folk to provide a home where all can meet and enjoy each others company during their declining' years. In the personnel of the new organization there are a number of very well known men in this city and it is expected that something definite will be done before next spring concerning the proposed home.

the meeting last night the following officers "were elected: John Sefing, president; Elwood Newhard, vice president; Ed. Hagenbuch, secretary, and Peter S. Becker, treasurer. Among the others present who enrolled were William Miller, John G. Sweney, Ed.

Rau, Gussie Cressman, Ed. "Glass King? Burger, Ed. Glase, Frank Moyer, Otto Piel, William Os-man, Milton Amis, John Schiffert. Joseph Guth, Charles George, Albert Bartholomew, Phillip Miller, Arthur Ueberroth, Harry WeLislieimer, Fred Eckert, Charles. Koenig.

Of course it is go ing to be a mjnstrel performance and the old boys promise to snow the young fellows a few songs and a more steps which will make them sit up and take notice. Newhard, Atnig, Schiffert and Sefing were appointed last night as end men and Frank Moyer is to be the general manager.

Moyer, Newhard and Sefing were appointed a press committee and following the meeting there was a social session during which a quartet composed of Messrs Frank Moyer, Arthur Ueberroth, Elwood Newhard and John Sefing rendered several fine selections.

There is an endowment fund of about $45,000, wnicn neips materially in the main- tenance and the large farm and dona tlons or people provide much of the food. It is estimated that each child costs $100 a year besides the revenue from the sources named. The New Church. The Bausmaa Memorial church was dedicated last Sunday and yesterday morning impressive services were held there.

Rev. Dr. C. E. Creitz, of Reading, made the invocation; Rev.

Paul S. Lembach, D. of Brooklyn real the scripture lesson; Rev. Kreider Evans, of Pottstown, offered prayer Rev. Dr.

T. F. Herman, of Lancaster, preached the sermon and Rev. Samuel Lembach, of Reading, had the closing services. At 4 p.

m. Rev. H. H. Rauch; of Reading spoke on "An Estimate of the Life and Work of Dr.

Bausma The latter was for many years the president of the board of directors and he was one of the men who piloted the w.ork through its difficult stages. It is said of him that an appeal to him to place a child In the home was never turned down and though the home was overcrowded he always saw a way to care for more. Some of his best work was done for the home and the new church bears his name in honor of his great work. It is with just pride that this city has a man on the board at Bethany who was one of the three of the building committee who had the erection, of the church in charge. He is John N.

Lawfer and his co-workers were Judge Wagner, of Reading, and Supt. More. Bethany lies close to the heart of Mr. Lawfer Many years ago, about 25, his father, the late W. R.

Lawfer, served on the board and afetr his death the son succeeded him and the latter has become a great aid ts the home. He is in the work because of his warm responsive heart for the unfortunate little folks and if you want to know the secret why two large special trainloaas of people left Allentown yesterday another long the L. and S. line and another-along the Perkiomen, the answer is that the business energy of Mr. Lawfer is enlisted for weeks before the day and not only doehe use printers ink liberally but he goes personally into many sections and urges people to keep in touch with the home.

The Bausman Memorial church is practically paid for by 284 contributors. It costs $10,608.51 and the remaining three hundred dollars to be paid were likely contributed yesterday. Bethany is considered the greatest The missions, home and foreign, should all be paid for in advance. The Reformed church is amply able to pay for all her benevolences and she Us able to do a great deal more, but .1... a oi gradually rising and this day is hot far off when all her missionary under takings will be adequately and as cheerfully supported.

Bethany is considered the gratest success of the church's undertakings and when one viewed the great crowd yesterday the. secret was evident. She is in personal touch. His is done well and the fine men and women the varied walks of life honor her with go forth from her walls into all right living and thus from yea to year her influence grows. For such an orphans home there will always be a need.

While Ruhf denies knowing anything about the attempt to burglarize the bakery the officers also have evidence which is pretty certain to convict. When the night man came on duty last Sunday morning two o'cloclc at the Mills bakery he frightened off th burglars. They had at that time-bored a number of boles into the door on the first floor but had thrown, the Match, cn instead of throwing it off. They then pained entrance through an outside cellar door and were bus' boring holes through the door on the inside of the cellar which led up inti the bakery. At that time the night man appeared and they we're scared off.

Rabenold was formerly employed at the Mills bakery but quit there several months ago of his own accord. In his confession he says that he procured the, auger and did the watching at the bafclery while Ruhf did the actual work of boring the holes. Rabenold is about twenty-five yerrs of age while Ruhf is in the neighborhood' of twenty-three. While nothing definite has aw yet been In this direction, the officers firmly believe that they can connect the men with former robberies at the bakery, lit will be remembered that the place has been rebbed a number of times and always it was some one who apparently was very familiar with the place. Even while K.

N. M. Minnich. the proprietor of the Windsor cafe was at the place the robberies occurred at stated intervals but the perpetrators of the crimes were never detected. A few weeks ago several hatches, of bread, involving a loss of in the neighborhood of several hundred dollars were spoiled by mixing soda with the bread.

While Rabenold was not discharged from the bakery it appears as if he was the man who had the grudge and who spoiled the 'bread. The men were committed to ia.il for a hearing later on before Alderman Bower.

THE PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW. Mr. Editor: The article appearing In your paper under the caption of. "Where Do Others signed by Michael, I read with a great deal of interest, the article should.be read by all parents and lovers of our public schools, as -it points outs the way by which a standard of our can be maintained. I heartily agree with Mr.

The mystery of the dislppearnce of Francis Waltz, a resident of Slatington and 1 well-Imown in the slate regions in the vicinity is also cleared up. The clothing is identical with that worn by Waltz on the day of his disappearance and 'there is no doubt but that the body buried in Potter's field at the County Home, is that of the missing Slatington man. Death was caused by two bullet wounds In the left of: the abdomen and the finding of a revolver near the 'body, gave evidence that the wounds were self-inflicted. After holding the body for a time Undertaker Schloushi of Schnecksvllle, who had taken charge of the case, was compelled because of its condi tion to inter it.
