real knowledge on the Mibjcct. was the
contention of Dr. CScorge 13. Iters,
pastor of the Chestnut Hill Baptist
Church, today, at the regular weekly
merlin of the Baptist Ministerial
Union.
"If spiritualism is true," said Doctor
Hees, "(!nd hns begun to talk to us

"An uniiisiilied idea of after-life, is

"fhcrwi ought emotionalism, selfish

PHILHARMONIC CONCERT
Tschalkowsky Symphony and Men
delssohn Concerto the Features
The third Sunday evening orchestral
coiicirt of the Philharmonic Society
took place last evening in the Shubert
Theatre brfoio an audience that com
fortably filled tic building and which
seemed thoroughly to enjoy the music
given. Ileni.v Gordon Thunder con
ducted The progi am inclined far more to
the classic . inphony concert standard
than any yet given. It began with
the Sakuntal.i Overture of Goldmark
and this was followed by three move
ments of the popular Symphony Pathe
tique of Tschalkowsky, the second one
being emitted. The other orchestral
numbers on th program were three of
tho Hungarian dances of Brahms,
"Dreams" of Wagner, the voice pnrt
being finely played by Kmil F. Schmidt,
concert master of the orchestra and
a somewhat ineffectively orchestrated
version of Liszt's Polonaise in B. The
orchestra played well nnd Air. Thun
der conducted in his usual competent
manner.
The soloist of the evening was Kmil
V. Schmidt, the concert lnnstcr, who
plaved the second and third movements
of the Alendelssohn violin concerto. Air.
Schmidt played especially well, having
the fluent, free style demanded by this
exceptionally difficult but at the same
time most violiuistie of all the great
violin concertos. His tone was larc
and pute in the slow movement, and
he had the Alandelssohnian grace re
quired in the sparkling finale. Air.
Thunder gave him a good accompnni
ment and the soloist received many
deserved recoils after his performance.

THREE ARRESTED
AT POINT OF GUN
Patrolman Backs Men Against
Wall Prisoners Suspected
in Recent Hold-Ups
FIND A REVOLVER ON ONE
Three men suspected of being con-,
ncctcd with hold-ups in West Philadel
phia were arrested at the point of n re
volver this morning by Patrolman Ilog-
.crs, ofnho Thirty-second street nnd
Woodland avenue station. I'ach was
held in $800 bail for a further hearing
by Alagistratc Harris.
The prisoners gave their names as
Harry Law, Thirty-fourth and AInrket
streets; Harry Oill, Flftictn and Alar
ket streets, and Arthur Cochran, Vine
and Holly streets.
Rogers saw the men acting sus
piciously near n house nt Thirty-sixth
and Locust streets. They stnrtcd to
retreat when the patrolman approached.
The men acted sullenly, it is said, when
Rogers questioned them. Several stu
dents and residents of the section had
been held up recently, so Rogers de
cided to tnke no chance.
Drawing his revolver, he ordered the
trio to stand against the wnll. While
covering the men he told a passerby to
telephone the police station.
On reaching the station house the
prisoners were searched. A revolver
and several bullets were found on
Law, according to the police, and
none of the trio could civc n satisfactory
reason for being at the place where they
were arrested.
The" men will fiave a further hearing
Thursday when the police will have them
face several persons who recently were
neiu up in West Philadelphia.

It is quite possible to kill two birds with one stone if you have
your eyes about you when you are .chopping. You will find that you
can buy more economically and secure goods of better quality if you
buy in the Chestnut Street Shops, for the proprietors of these stores
are men who have devoted years to the science of buying and selling
and who are placing this experience at the service of their patrons.

ANY people aro prejudiced
against hard candies bimply
because they 'have never
tasted the cinnamon squares and
"Old-Fashioned Scotch" made by
Yahn & McDonnell, 1508 Chestnut
street. Besides being deliriously flav
ored, these hard candies are very
wholesome, for they are made of
the purest ingredients, and there are
a great many more flavors than the
two that I have mentioned. You will
like, too, the chocolate pillows with
a delicious cocoanut center. Have you
had tea yet at Yahn & Mc-Donnell's?
You know that they are serving tea
and marmalade or tea and a sand
wich in the afternoons, accompanied
by a dainty dish of salted nuts. Shop
pers will appreciate this service, for
tea is so refreshing when you r.:-e
tired.

N SOUTH AFRICA, where Old
Sol is sh.mng wi'h much greater
kindliness than he is showinc
to us at this seat on, they are pluck
ing rosy-cheeked peaches, and from
South Africa half way around the
world have come the, peaches and
plums, apricots and nectarines at tho
store of Henry R. Hallowell & Son,
Broad Street below Chestnut the
first shipment received since the be
ginning of the war. What a delight
ful gift a basket of fruit containing
some of these rare delicacies would
make! And for a dinner )arty what
more exquisite cen rpiece could you
contrive than one of South African
fruits? Hallowell'- will send gift
baskets or any of these fruits to any
point within 1000 miles, and you
know that they guarantee safe de
livery. ANTHONY, so tho legend tells us,
was very much astonished
when Cleopatra, in her most
blase manner dissolved one of her
pearl ear-drops and drank to his
health. Which u goes to show that
pearls were qjite as well thought of
in ancient Egypt as they are in Phil
adelphia today. There are few
women in any clime, for that maf
tcr, who can resist the flattering
lucent gleam of those wonderful
gems. Almost every woman has a
secret longing for a string of Ori
ental pearls, and if thoy be perfectly
matched, there is nothing that adds
so much to her evening toilette. Tho
wonderful collection of penrls at the
store of Bailoy, Bank3 & Biddlo Com
pany, is worthy of yDur consideration

HE model housewife devotes
closet to brushes, mons. nails
and other nnnnrrttnc: nprntacnrv
to tho preservation of the virtue that
is next to godliness, and in it she
reserves a shelf for housecloths,
dusters, etc. There is so much sat
isfaction in being able to put your
hand on a cheesecloth duster when
you are ready to dust the furniture
or a silver polishing doth when you
are preparing to "make the silver
shine like new." You will find house
clothes and dustsrs of every descrip
tion at the store of J. Franklin Mil
ler, 1612 Chestnut Street. There
are dnters of cheesecloth, outing
flannel and Canton flannel, English
chamois and oil-dressed chamois,
paint cloths (these are soft floor
cloths, you know), basin cloths and
broom covers.

ON'T forget thnt February M
'" t"--"unu uay, and that
there arc manv frtnnrio .,j
relatives whom you wish to remem
ber on that day. To somo you will
want to send the daintv, nrtistic
sort of card which you will find at
the store of Frank J. Curry, 81
Chestnut Street, and to others you
will want to send the kind that will
call forth a good, hearty laugh. I
cannot say too much in praise of
Uirry s valentines, or indeed, of any
of their greeting cards. If you arc
looking for a card that is exquisite
in coloring nnd interesting in senti
ment you are certain to find one that
JJI'i aVse. the Veeiricnt t0 exclaim,
That is just the kind of card she
would choose," or if you select a
humorous card at Currv's it ;s sure
to bo one that win express your in
dividuality. THE most unpleasant thing
about a shopping tour is being
,i .,Jstled about by the crowds
and then, perhaps having to wait
for your car because you havo fin
isher sooner; than you had expected.
I'ntz & LaRue, Inc., 1015 Chestnut
street seem to have found for you a
most effective remedy for these an
noyances, for their new location,
whilo being near the center of town,
is just outside the most congested
.shopping district. You may have
your chauffeur wait until you aro
ready to leave tho store, instead of
driving around as ho must do in more
crowded sections of the city. It is
