the wife left her home and appealed to
policemen on the Ardmore beats to search
for him.
Not a trace of Plttlnger has been found.
Because of Mrs. Plttlngcr's request, the

Church of St. Charles Borromco First
to Make Change.
For the first time in eight year women
and girls sang with the choir of the
Church of St. Charles Borromeo, 20th
and Christian tetreets, yesterday, and it is
expected that there will be mixed choirs
In many other Catholic churches In the

asked that only men nnd boys sing In
the churches, the Church of St. Borromeo
was one of the first to comply with the
decree.
Plans are already being made for the
installation of a mixed choir in St. Ste
phen's Church, Broad and Butler streets.
Musical directors are glad to have the
privilege of obtaining women and girls
for their choruses as they have found
difficulty In securing men and boyts to
sing alto and soprano.

Throat Tiouble Causes Retirement of

Church, Germantown. His resignation

uovernor. On this point all parties and
tactions seem to ngieo. To all Intents
and purposes the sentiment against Mr.
Penrose is neatly as pronounced.
The Penrose people nre carrjingon what
Is classed as n "foxy" campaign. The
old-time Republican courage appears to
have oozed out and this condition of af
fairs serves fuither to accentuate tho
statement thnt "things are different
now"; that the machine which for many
ears boMty carried aloft the Penroso
banner, is now compelled to work for
his return to the United States Senate In
a rathet surreptitious manner. Tho
average voter hero has grown wler
than he was a few eara ngo, and in
proportion to his taking on wisdom he
lias become endued with a hardihood
which comes with casting off the collar

test. To those who are not informed on
the conditions, this seems er stianga,
but to tliOBtt- who know what's doing, the
reason for his stajlng out of tho county
Is obvious.
Dr. Brumbaugh Is to come here soma
