Jan. 2 s.—Though It was announced from Philadelphia that Johnny Kllbane, featherweight.cham pion. and Kid Williams, bantam cham pion. have been matched for a six round go in that city February 24, Jimmy Dunn, manager of the Cleve land fighter, denies this bout has been cinched. The Philadelphia announcement car ried the weight agreed on 122 pounds ringside, the featherweight limit. The hitch comes on this score. Dunn says that he told Jack McGuigan. of the National A. C., that he would take $3,250, or 35 per cent., to meet Wil liams. but that the weight must be 122 pounds at j o'clock. "Tf the weight is to be 122 pounds." declared Dunn, "we'll demand as our share J5.000, or 35 per cent., for that would be a championship match. When I left Philadelphia Sammv Har ris. manager of Williams, had not agreed to 122 pounds at 6 o'clock, and •McGuigan had refused to give me J5.000 guarantee for a match at 122 ringside. That's the way things stand now. and there's no chance for them to get Kilbane under any terms except as I have outlined them."

THE PERSONALITY OF E 1,1, EN TERRY It is customary to speak of the "per vading charm" of the personality of Ellen Terry, who will rflve her Shake spearean Recital at the Majestic, Wed nesday evening. Gener!-' v however, the term is applied to Ellen Terry, the woman, whose graeiousnf'ss has made for her a multitude of frlei.ds which no man can number. Few appear to realize the extent to which a person ality which Is charming, but much more than charming, has contributed to the remarkable success of Kllen Terry, the artist. ' Here is the secret, the explanation not only of how the charm of Ellen Terry, the woman, has brought out all that is charming in other women who now seek to do- her honor, but also the secret of those rare Inspirational mo ments when Kllen Terrv. the actress, does things of -wlich few other ac tresses could think. The continuous training of the intelligence, the rarify ing of the taste, are habits so strong that it \\ould be difficult to imagine this artist interpreting a passage wronglv, although she might construe It In a manner entirely different from all other actresses. —Advertisement. • HOWE TRAVEL FH3TIVAI, A great deal about tbe men behind the guns In turret and in fighting tops will be shown by Lyman 11.

Said Kipling, "there isn't a job on the top o" the earth the beggar don't know nor do." Kipling was rlfjht about It. For. the marines, though always on the ocean, are never "at sea." That Is, they are never at sea when a crisis arises, for itliev know lust what to do and how to I Uo It whether acting as the police of HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH ing outclassed.

Its simple title is "Milk." which seems common enough, but which is said to give as much food for thought as there is nutriment in this household article. The New York milk committee appealed to no less an artist than Miss Clayton to write a vaudeville act that would be entertaining, instructive and fully set forth the les.on of the milk question. Miss Clayton sought out facts from milk dealers, dirty farms, etc., and then turned to the other side of the story to learn its result on the coming generations. And so Miss Clayton is out to do her part to help to fight for good milk for babies and says she will be a doubly happy women if she has the success she hopes for. Among the sterling bill of attractions slated to support Miss Clayton and her company are old Harrisburg favorites. Mack and Orth. the song writers.
