80-PEEP PLEASES
BOTH YOUNG AND OLD
Mrs. Wilbur Harris Makes Mother
Goose Lovable, Sweet, and
Sympathetic
Society turned out bravely in spite
of the rain last night to witness the
first performance of the opera of
childhood, "The Lost Princess Bo-
Peep," given under the auspices of
the Sunshine Society at the Majestic
theater. Between the acts a number
of our debutants dressed in Colonial
costumes of yellow and white with
powdered hair and carrying supported
trays passed among the audience sell
ing home-made candy.
Mrs. Wilbur Harris made of old
Mother Goose a gentle, sympathetic
sort of person whose beautiful voice
and kindly eyes enslaved even the
grown-ups. Somehow it is hard to
remember that we ever felt quite so
sorry for careless 80-Peep many years
ago as Mrs. George W. Relly, Jr., sang
us into feeling last night. Her haunt
ing refrain, "I Forget Everything I
Should Remember" was one of the
most attractive aires In the score.
As the story goes, many years ago
Old Woman That Lives in a Shoe stole
the Princess 80-Peep, daughter of the
Queen of Hearts and Old
Afraid of the consequences, she left
the infant on the doorsteps of Mother
Goose, who found and raised her as
her own child and sister of Jack, the
famous carpenter. Around 80-Peep's
neck was a bewitched locket which
made her forgetful and melancholy.
This Mother Goose had removed. Em
misarys from the court looking for the
lost princess found 80-Peep and re
turned her to her parents. The be
witched locket was restored to her.
The King issued the proclamation that
whoever could make his daughter
smile should win her hand and half
his kingdom. All efforts failed until
Jack Goose, long her secret lover, de
manded the removal of the locket.
Then memory returned and she smiled
with joy at seeing him and Mother
Goose again.
| An attraeWie feature was the dance
! of twenty-two little children in yellow
representing young chickens. They
formed a background for a catchy lit
tle "Scratch! Scratch!" song by Mr.
Hamilton and Mrs. Relly.
Other musical numbers of espeoial
mention were "If You Want to Play
the Game" sung by King Cole and his
consort, the Queen of Hearts (in the
persons of John Strock and Miss Sarah
Miller) and "Almost." The latter was
a time hit on the various talked-of
local Improvements we have almost
gotten in Harrisburg.
The choruses were very admirably
drilled throughout. The youngsters
especially seemed to know what was
expected of them and did themselves
credit without the usual self-con
sciousness. The principals were ltll
good. Jerry Hamilton made a hand
some, wholesome and altogether lik
able Jack, son of Mother Goose. Mrs.
William Friedman, the Old Woman
Who Lived In the Shoe was splendid.
Through most of the music ran a
vein of plaintive sadness and sweet
ness, a bit unexpected in a little opera
of the kind, hut which showed to ad
vantage many good voices.
MAN ROBERTSON.
Gen. Pratt Supported
By Investigators
Official* of Indian Hlghta Association
Tell How t Uargrn Originated
Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, Jan. Sl.—ln the contro
versy with Moses Friedman, superin
tendent of the Carlisle Indian School.
Brigadier General R. B. Pratt, former
superintendent of the institution,yester
day found two stanch supporters here
in the persons of the Rev. Dr. Carl E.
Grammer and M. K. Sniffen, respective
ly president and recording secretary of
the Indian Rights Association.
Both were emphatic In their asser
tions that General Pratt had not the
slightest connection with the investi
gation of the school now being made
by the Government. This investigation.
General Pratt alleges In a formal com
plaint filed with Indian Commissioner
Cato Sells, caused Superintendent
Friedman to publish an Inspired ar
ticle.
Dr. Orammer said: "Friedman's
friends eventually urged him for the
Indian commissionership, in the fare of
which it naturally became wise to look
into the whole affair, and Supervisor
Pearse telegraphed sneciflc charges to
the Washington officials.
"It was a great mistake of Friedman
and his friends to agitate the matter
through the manifest and clever trick
of insinuating that the Indian School
might eventually be moved to some
other city In the West. This evident
ly was done to ally the townspeople
of Carlisle, and even the entire pub
lic, with the Friedman interests, l>ut
It absolutely was . useless, Inasmuch as
there is not even the remotest chance
of the school beiiiK removed."
HOY BECAME HYSTERICA!,
Edward I>ewis, of 515 Dauphin street,
became hysterical this morning in the
Verbeke* Street Markethonse. when
knocked CiJwn by his brother during a
friendly scuffle. Dr, H. B. Walters was
summoned, and after being; given medi
cal treatment the. hoy was taken to
his home in the ambulance.

prietors of these shows will be riding
around In their automobiles —and
you'll still be poor.

Truth Triumphs Over
Youthful Ardor in
Marriage Bureau Today
Truth triumphed over youthful ardor
in the marriage license bureau this
morning when a young man, unmis
takably full of good spirits, called for
a license. With him was a pretty girl.
They said they were from York> The
man said he had met a few friends a
little while before and had yielded to
an invitation to celebrate. The license
was refused until this afternoon.
The gaiety of the youth attracted
Marriage Cleric Houseman's eye; there
was something about him, somehow,
that suggested a question, and he
asked it as he glanced down the ap
plication list:
"Are you," he asked, looking the
youth squarely in the eye, "under the
influence of intoxicating liquors,
drugs"
Like lighting the beaming counte
nance changed to one of solemnity.
"An' that," gravely observed the
would-be groom. "I mus' ref-f-fuse to
answer."
"Oh, but you must."
"'8 impossible to do so (hie)
truthfully."
