Mr. Atkins will preach the introductory sermon at "his convention. MAN'S GENESIS. This subject is a distinca departure from the conventional motion picture production, depicting, as it clearly does, a theory of grave importance Darwin's argument as to the evolution of man. To introduce the subject, we show an old man telling the story of man to his grandchildren.

The story is that of the life of "Bruteforce" and "Weak-hands" in the primeval village. The bare fist at this period was the only weapon and, as you may imagine, 'the law was "might is right." The boy, "Weakhands," stood but small chance tgainst the powerful "Bruteforce" and this condition forced him to exercise his brain, hence it was only through his cunning that he managed to win the Cirl "Lilywhite," for his lack of prowess made him unpopular as a suitor. How "Weakhands" finally overcomes his fnersv is splendidly portrayed in motion pictures at the Standard theatre to night. MRS. MARY MUMMA DEAD Was One of the Oldest Residents of Highspire.

Mrs. Marv Mumma, one of the oldest residents: of Highspire. aged S3 died at her home in that borough at S.30 o'clock last evening after an ill- Bess of nrarlv one vear. Mrs. Mumma was born at the old Nissley home, now Stoverdale.

Fiual notices were posted to-day. with instructions for the change in erews and the twelve crews formerly running out of this city will be formal- ly disbanded at miduigM. Many of the workmen of Kound! Housa No 2 were transferred to day and' thp remainder to the total of about sixtv men will leave to-morrow for the new shops. In the future all repair work not of a scVous nature will be done there. The number of men changed from the shops here to the new yards includes a full quota of machinists, repairmen, helpers, wipers aud laborers.

In addition to these men twenty -nine regular crews of five men each together with a large number of extra men, with runs from that point to Morris-ville, Philadelphia, Jersey City and intermediate stations received official no tice of their transfer. The number wiil total in ail nearly three hundred men. Much satisfaction was expressed this morning by nearly all of the men at the company's change in the regulations which at first made it imperative that all should find homes at that point, as there would be no callers stationed outside of the town limits. If this order had remained in force the population of this city would have been decreased by a thousand people, counting the men and their families. PETITION FOR REDUCED FARE Brotherhood May Ask for Commutation Books At Special Rate At the next meeting of the local chapters of the Brotherhood of Eil-wav Trainmen a motion will be put in order and in all probability acted on asking that same commutation privileges be extended to the employes of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company here that are given to the Altoona shop men.

If the proposed resolution passes the petition will be regularly presented at headquarters asking that in the future books be issued good for 100 trips to nearby points on the division. These tickets have been issued for some time to the Altoona men and are good for points within a radius of thirty-five miles. This enables the men who live in the surrounding towns to travel to and from work at a nominal rost of J5 for the hundred tickets. So far there has been no demand for the tickets here by the brotherhoods, requests for them being limited to individuals. The demand for them at this time of year is particularly heavy as many of the men desire to live dur ing the summer months at cottages within a reasonable distance from this city.

At present meu who have summer homes and who do not possess annual passes are compelled to pay the resrular iares. MEN TOREGISTER Xew Order Makes Per sonal Registration Necessary for Crews Personal registration of the men of the Middle division will be necessary-after August 1 before starting to work in. the different departments on the road.

"Enginemen and firemen reporting for duty at the engine house will sign the register at that point when they receive their engine keys and time cards. Engine crews coming on duty without reporting at the engine house will sign the register at the same point that district, which applies particularly to double-crewed yard engines." MEN TO ASKlORFWER PASSES Are Requested to Keep Within Limit For Free Transportation. In pursuance of the announced intention of the'Pennsylvania railroad to place some limitation on the number of passes granted fo its employes after August 1, letters have been-sent to many of the men of this city within the past' several days asking that in the future more care be taken- not to ask for too many passes.

Whether or not this is as far as the proposed limitation pill go is still a conjecture on the part of many of the officials here. It is supposed by some that no new regulations on the subject will be made, although it is admitted by the heads of the traffic departments that the number of passes issued at this time of year is so great that at times it greatly interferes with the ordinary passenger service. The number of. passes given to the employes of the company varies with the different the heads of each division fixing the number of free transportations that will be issued annually to each man. The letters asking that the men keep within these limitations were issued from these different sources and it eould not be ascertained this morning whether er not they were sent a new System or in an effort to keep the number within the old bounds.
