EXPRESS OFFICIALS
ANXIOUS TO QUIT
United States Company Is Running
Business at a Loss; Noth- |
ing Known Here
Representatives of the United States
Express Company in Harrisburg have
received no intimation from the gen
eral offices in New York city that the
company is considering liquidation
proceedings, because of decreased I
business, due to the introduction >ofj
the parcel post system.
Business in Harrisburg has fallen |
off to such an extent that a curtail
ment in expenses was ordered some!
time ago. A dispatch from New York
says:
"Facing large losses, in common
with all express companies, as the re
sult of the parcel post system, the I
company, rather than maintain ruin- 1
ous competition, is ready to distribute I
its assets among stockholders.
"It is understood that the Harri
man estate and several other large
shareholders are in accord with the
plan of dissolution. It is said arrange
ments for the liquidation have gone
so far that all the details have been
thoroughly considered.
"The proposed breaking up of the
United States Express Company is the
most drastic movement following the
government regulation compelling
railroads to carry parcels through the
mail at a price with which express
companies cannot compete."
CHRISTY MATH K\Y SON SIGNS:
TURNS DOWN FEDERAL OFFER
Marlin, Texas, March 3. Christy
Mathewson yesterday signed with the
New York National League team, ex
ecuting his contract with President
Hempstead, of the New York club.
Mathewson said he had received the
Federal League offer of $65,000 for
three years, $15,000 to be paid in ad
vance.
Asked whether there still was a pos
sibility for him to consider a Federal
League offer, Mathewson replied:
"No, none. I have signed with the
Giants. Furthermore, the announce
ment of the Federal League that they
will not try to get players who already
have signed closes the matter."
President Hempstead, of the Giants,
declined to make public the terms of
the contract. "However," he said,
"the terms were perfectly agreeable
to Mathewson."

Mill DAYS 11
ORPHEUS WEEK
Leona Stevens Is a Dainty Bit of
Feminity in a Song and
Character Stunt
Leona Stevens, a pretty and dainty
bit of feminity in a singing and (lanc
ing act, and the B. A. Rolfe production,
"Colonial Days," are two really praise
worthy acts on the week's Orpheum
bill.
Most elaborate, perhaps, of any of
many musical acts which have been at
the Locust Street Vaudeville House this
year, is the Rolfe production. Of ex
quisite taste and beauty are the stage
settings, and the members of the cast
are musicians of worth. The work of
William A. Galpen, the baritone, was
especially good, as was that of Alma
Moore, the soprano. A Colonial porch
and garden gave a touch of the days of
'76 to the production, as did the cos
tuming.
Miss Leona Stevens, who is as lovely
as she is vivacious, did a bit of char
acter work, aided with moving pictures
between stunts, showing her making
her chango of costume in her dressing
roorn that made her act a bit out of the
ordinary. As a "Ragtime Sherlock
Holmes," In which the comedienne
wears a costume that is a delightful
take-off on the great flctlonarv detec
tive, Miss Stevens was particularly de
lightful.
For the booking of the remainder of
the bill the Orpheum management Is
"more to be pitted than censured."
Roger linhof, in a miliary travesty,

play; Daniel Roach and James McCurd.v,
In an alleged humorous dialogue, were

unpleasant features of last night's
show was the temperature of the thea

difficulty in heating the house because
of the high winds.
