"HER PAINTED HEIIU," AT THE
COLONIAL
Of unusual dramatic Importance is
the great Triangle play, "The Disciple,"
starring William S. Hart at the head
of a notable cast. This play will be on
view for the last time at the Colonial
to-day. The comedy part of the same
program is an uproarously funny Key
stone two-reeler called "Her Painted
Hero." A thrilling historical drama of
early days in Mexico, "Martyrs of the
Alamo," will be the dramatic effort of
the Triangle program that will be un
covered at the Colonial to-morrow. The
I play was made under the personal su
| pervlsion of D. W. Griffith, which, of
course, speaks volumes for its excel
! lence. The leading role will be plaved
Iby Sam De Grasse, who appears as
Silent Smith, one of the heroes of the
j gallant but hopeless fight In the Alamo
| fort. Juantta Hahson plays a very
I clever leading female role. "Saved By
| Wireless." a Mack Sennett thriller, that
I Is laughable in parts and wonderfully
thrilling and exciting in others, will
be a part of the same program.—Adver

crease of nearly two million, there
was a decrease ill several city and
county districts totaling $221,215.

ship. $26,810; Gratz, $5,075; Halifax.
$1,960; Highspire, $28,610; and Jack

more than offset by the following in
creases: city. Third ward, $258,555;
Fourth, $241,540; Seventh, $163,140;
Ninth, $190,395; Tenth, $189,190.

PRETTY GIRLS TO
HELP MUMMERS
|ln Fancy Costume, Fair Col
lectors Will Buttonhole
Mr. Harrisburger
Five pretty girls will assist the
Harrisburg Mummers' Association in
gathering funds for the New Year's
Day celebration. The young women
are members of the "Fashicin Shop"
company, one of next week's attrac
tions at the Majestic theater. C.
Floyd Hopkins the manager, who is
a member of the local association
last night tendered the service of the
girls to the committee.
Automobiles will be furnished the
fair collectors, who will be gowned in
fancy costumes, and will leave the
I mayor's office Wednesday morning,
i December 22, at 10 o'clock. Members
of the Mummers' finance committee
will wear frock coats and silk hats.
I "Further contributions from Man
ager Hopkins will be made to-night
at the regular meeting of the Mum
mers' Association. In addition to S2O
in cash, he will furnish the official
programs free of charge, will have a
large float in line, and offers the
services of his stage forces in pre
paring floats or for suggestions as to
costumes.
To Make General Appeal
The meeting to-night promises to
be the most important held this year.
An appeal will be outlined to be given
to the public to-morrow. It will be
a request to Harrlsburgers to remain
home on January 1, and will call at
tention to the fact that there is trouble
between the Mummers' Associations
of Philadelphia and many clubs are
going to Wilmington.
The question of inviting Philadel
phia clubs to come here will be dis
cussed to-night. The formation of the
parade will be announced, and addi
tional aids named. This year there
will be one chief marshal, chief of
staff, chief and four heralds and 50
aids. Contributions received to date
are as follows:

Ford Peace Party Is
Detained at Kirkwall
Kirkwall, Orkney Islands, Dec. 15.
The steamship Oscar 11, having on
board the Ford peace party, arrived
here early to-day.
Kirkwall is the port into which most
transatlantic vessesl which are held
up for search by the British authori
ties are taken. The Oscar II was
destined for Christlania and her ar
rival at Kirkwall probably means she
Is being detained by the British.
A I.ondon dispatch last night said
it was hardly likely the steamship
would Vie taken to Kirkwall, as she
had no cargo aboard. It was inti
mated that, the government, following
the policy recently outlined in the
house of commons, would hardly take
steps whtch would bring the Ford
party any nearer the English coast
than was necessary.
STATE CONTRACTS
The Highway Department to-day
awarded contracts for a bridge in Erie
county near Kearsarge to B. W. Bly
stone, Cambridge Springs, at $5,118.66,
and for 30,000 maps to A. Hoen & Co.,

Carlisle, Pa., Dec. 15. Caleb S. Brln
ton, attorney for the petitioners seek
ing the closing of the grade at Ferry
street at Wurmleysburg, to-day told
the board of viewers, in session here,
of a chance for an early adjustment
satisfactory to all concerned.
J. Wilson Swartz, attorney for the
Borough of Wormleysburg and citi
zens, and J. W. Wetzel, ased the view
ers to defer making a report to the
Court until early in February. It is
probably attorneys for both sides will
get together soon and arrange a settle
ment.
The viewers were informed that $250
had been offered to pay the cost of re
pairs and keep Park avenue In good
shape, until the new roads were com
pleted, and that the possibility of a
burden on feast Pennsboro township
would be removed. Attorney Brinton,
in his statement, explained that if
property holders will waive claim for i
damages for land to be used for the

Contest Will Bequeathing
Farm to School Boy Friend
Argument was heard to-day by
Reidster of Wills R. C. Banner on the
legality of the will made by Attorney
Ed. M. Haldeman several months be
fore his death.
Haldeman bequeathed his farm,
which covers a large part of the
island opposite Inglenook, to Theodore
H. Moltz, a schoolboy friend. Mrs.
Mary R. Armstrong, a sister of the
lawyer, questioned the legality of the
will on the ground that her brother
was not sufficiently strong mentally to
make a -vill at the time.
Dr. Thomas S. Blair, one of the
alienists heard to-day, attributed
Haldeman's condition to his use of
"bromidia," a patent medicine which
contained large quantities of chloral.

"The Chorus Lady" is one of the most
popular contributions ever made to the
Paramount Program by the Jesse L.
Lasky Feature Play Co., which appears
at the Regent to-day and to-morrow
with an all-star cast. It is a plcturlza
tlon of James Forbes' comedy of stage
life of to-day. It is a play which lends
Itself excellently to pleturlzatlon. The
frequent and compelling Incidents
which lead to the dramatic climaxes are
especially suited to the photodrama
Patricia O'Brlan, the brave little chorus
girl, who Is quick of tongue and big of
heart, is represented In splendid fash
lon. Her sister, Nora O'Brlan. who In
sisted upon going on the stage despite
Patricia's warnings, furnishes a human
example to thousands of girls through
out the world. The story of life behind
the footlights, across which voung wo
men smile, is universal in its appeal.
The glimpse behind the curtain, which
hides the world of powder and rouge.
Is a faithful represenatlon of a side of
life that never fails to Interest.—Ad
vertisement.

ity is characteristic in the Becker &
