HARRISBURG ACADEMY HAD BIG BASKETBALL SEASON .- ■' ■ ' j; ? :: ■ Wi -" : 's ' ' llf V T .hfMkl ' - The Harrisburg Academy basketball team has completed a successful season, and one of the longest seasons that they have ever had. Starting in the middle of December against the strong York Collegiate Institute, the Academy made a record considering the obstacles they had to overoome. With the loss of Captain Bennett at almost the very beginning of the season, the Academy was greatly handi capped in the goal shooting position, but Coach Tatem quickly changed his line-up and shifted Koth and Phillips forward, who played excellent games. The players in the above picture reading from left to right, are Shaw, Froellch, Krelder, Moore, Bruce, Phil lips, Roth and Coach Tatem. , Ip-' In the Realms g. of Amusement. Art, and Instruction. MUNICIPAL BAND GIVES CONCERT Serious Attempt to Give High ('lass Musical Offering Proves Successful The Municipal Bund, forty strong, j and headed by# Conductor Frank j Blumenstcin. made its bow to friends j' and supporters for the first time this j, season at the Orplieum last evening-1 ■ The fair-sized crowd that listened ap- ' preciativelv to the finished work of the high-class concert gave evidence thatj the summer night band concerts at Reservoir Park are not attended wholly for cooling purposes. There is a large following in the city that ap- 1 predates and enjoys good orchestral! work and it is unfortunate that the ! Band was not. alone in its j appeal: there were too many other things going on that materially cut , : in on the patronage which the local !. band rightly deserved. The names of Messrs. Clark, soloi' > ometist; William T. Myers, the high I! school boy, who carried off the indi-! vidual violin solo honors: Mrs. H. F. ' Hcishley, soprano, who -was frequent ly recalled; Crawford, of the bells and traps, the unbeatable combination of Shirk, Burris, Stone, Tangle and Co hon, of trombone fame, and many j others went down last evening on the ' roll of honor and merit to the tune of the splendid selections which they of lered. Selections from the opera "Faust," "La Traviata,""Humoresque." "Echoes i from the Metropolitan Opera House," et al. received tremedous ovations and the unceasingly excellent character of Ihe entire program kept the audience in a pleasant and appreciative frame of mind that augurs well for any fu ture concerts that the Municipal or I any other band of equal ability may see fit to give in this city. We trust that last night's concert i may be the forerunner of others, for one does not weary of such as I was offered Orpheum-goers last even- j Ing. MAX ROBERTSON*.

GOOD PROGRAM AT CHESTNUT ST. Marks First Appearance of John Seifert, Tenor; Assisted by Other Artists Under the auspices of the Young People of Messiah Lutheran Church, John Siefert of Pittsburgh, made his I first local appearance last night in j Chestnut Street Auditorium. He was j assisted by Master Gurney Mattox, the j Philadelphia boy violinist who made 1 his initial appearance in the recent! Elk Memorial; Mrs. Bumbaugh. Miss ; iJane Rae. A. W. Hartinan and Mrs. Wesbroom-Dager. Mr. Siefert's voice is one of exquisite beauty, and his t ability to control his mezzo voce is an | element which is going to materially 'contribute to his concert success. Mr. j : Siefert's program was made up of j some of the better known modern| songs amongs whicb his voice found [its best expression if "Life and Death," by Coleridge-Taylor and "Yesterday and To-day" by Spross. As an encore he used "1 Hear You Calling Mo," the song written for John McCormack, to whose voice Mr. Siefert's is very simi lar. Master Mattox appealed to the au dience most with his two numbers "Ave Maria" and "Llebesfreud." Mrs. Bumbaugh gave a majestic interpre tation of Haydn's "With Verdure i Clad" from the "Creation." as did also j Miss Rae in "The Mallet's Master-1 piece." MAX ROBERTSON. Dumas' "D'Artagnan" to Be Shown For the Last Time The comedy side of the Colonial's current Triangle program, entitled j "Fido's Fate," with the clever Charles Murray, is proving a veritable laugh- ! ; ing treat, and children of all ages are ' reveling in the funny situations and ] funny antics of the players. Of course, more interest is being attracted by the excellent dramatic feature. "D'Ar tagnan." with Orrin Johnson and a notable supporting cast. From the scenic point of view j "D'Artagnan, "the J nee- Triangle drama. ! is a delieht to the eyes. There are i streets shown of a bygone Paris, the \ Paris of the Grand Monarques. The I quaint old inns with sharply pitched ; I thatched roofs appear prominently. In I contrast to the rudeness of the fur | nishings of the inns are set some in- ! teriors of the king's palace. The ceil- I ings and walls are decorated with ' beautiful pastoral scenes, and the fur- niture is of ihe lightest pattern and carved in exquisite fashion. Billy Burke in "Peggy" will be the Colonial's much heralded Triangle drama for Monday and Tuesday. "The Soul's Cycle," a drama of a soul's reincarnation, featuring Margaret Gib son, will be shown at Maricnret Clhaun tho Regent Theater In "The to-day only. SOUI'N Cycle" The story involves two epochs. It be gins in the old Grecian time and re volves around one Theron, a Grecian Senator, who has grown old, and to whom honor has come, but no love. Nadla. the Innocent young daughter of a Greek nobleman, inspires passion in his breast, and he sells his soul to the evil of hatred and revenge when she scorns his advances and Rives her heart to the poetic Luclan. The father of Nadla Is ambitious and connives with the Senator to crush youth and love. "Love laughs at locksmiths" and the young people elope. Then the Senator sets loose the dogs of hatred and has them brought by his slaves to a burn ing crater, into which he throws them. For this sin the unseen arbiter of souls condemns him to enter the oody of a lion and to roam the earth even upon the end of time, unless he shall save youth and love even as he has killed them. On Monday. Constance Collier will be presented for the first time upon the screen by Oliver Morosco on the Para mount program In "The Tongues of' Men." "The Tongues of Men" is the story of a rector's unwarranted attack upon the private character of a grand opers diva who specializes In sensa tional roles. rHII.ADEI.PHI A PRODUCE By Associated Press 1 Philadelphia.

(Correspondence of the Associated Frens.i —Never in her history has Japan mot with such a period of material prosperity as to day. This is entirely due to the war. The entente allies have been buying great quantities of war supplies since the beginning of the conflict and more orders are being placed con stantly. Money is literally pouring into the country in such quantities that there is actually a plethora of it. Money has become so cheap that bankers have begun to complain. The first gre»t call upon Japan has been made and will continue to be made by Russia. The exports to Rus sia have realized several hundred mil lion yen. They include not alone mili tary equipment and supplies such as guns, rifles and ammunition, but huge quantltios of cloth, many hundred thousands if pairs of boots, leather pouches, caps, sashes, food products and medical supplies. Even rice is ex ported to Russia to be made into gruel for wounded soldiers and of the medical -exportation a notable item is tincture of iodine. Another great channel in which Japan is finding; prosperity is through her shipping. Her big merchant ma rine is not only transporting supplies for the entente powers but so far as the Orient is concerned has practi cally taken over at an immense profit the sea transportation which is held tn time of peace by the vessels of Great Britain. Freight charges to all points, including the United States, have soared and Japanese shipping companies have recently petitioned the department of communications to sanction a further increase in tariffs. France is at present seeking either to charter or purchase ten or a dozen steamships, but suitable vessels are scarce. The prices are almost limit less in their elevation. The extent to which steamers have risen in value may be instanced by a recent incident at Kobe. The owner of a steamship, the charter for which had Just ex pired who had been receiving about $3,200 a month for his vessel received an offer of charter at the rate of $87,000 per month. The extraordi nary demand for hulls is inducing Japanese shipyards to work day and night but they cannot hope to ap proach the demand. The year 1915 was exceptional tn Japanese trade but this year Is ex pected to prove still more remarkable. Last year the total exports amounted to about $350,000,000 nnd the Imports to about $266,000,000. The total trade was $616,000,000. Compared with the preceding year the figures show an Increase of about $58,000,000 on exports and a decrease of $31,500,- 000 on Imports. Whereas in 1914 im ports exceeded exports by $2,817,000, the balance of .trade Inst year was in favor of exports by about $84,000,000. Anything approaching such a large excess of exports is unprecedented In the annals of foreign trade in Japan. By glancing over the trade returns for the last ten years, it will be found that with the exception of 1906 and 1909 when exports owing to greatl.v reduced imports were in excess by $2,485,000 and by $9,456,000 respec tively, the balance of trade for the re maining eight years shows an excess of imports ranging from $2,317,000 to $48,485,000. In 1914 the (outbreak of the war diminished the volume of trade, especially that of imports. This explains the fact that in that year the excess of Imports over exports amounted to only $2,317,000 as com pared with $48,485,000 recorded for 1913 and with $46,000,000 for 1912. With the continuation of the war last year importations still further diminished while a remarkable in crease was noted in the export trade. The markets in India, South America and other places previously taking German and Austrian goods demanded Japanese substitutes for goods which no longer came out from Europe. All this combined to create a new record in exports, while the difficulty of Eu rope in sending its goods abroad con tributed to a decrease of imports into Japan. Among the import goods showing a falling-ofC are iron, dyestuffs and other important requisites for manufactur ing Industry. This had the effect of checking exportation to some extent, and has encouraged company promot ers to form plans for placing Japan's industry and commerce on a self supporting and permanent basis. One result of all this is that Japan, which before the war had come to feel apprehension for the stability of Its note conversion system, has now specie accumulating to Its credit to the extent of 600,000,000 yen or $300,- 000,000, an amount never before known in its financial history. The bank vaults are full of money seek ing investment. A striking proof of a change in the condition of mind in the capitalist circles was seen recently In the re sponse to an offer of shares of a dye stuff company, now forming which were over subscribed 900 times. There has been a steady Increase in the cap italization for manufacturing indus tries, money invested in them in 1915 amounting to $48,350,000 against $19,- 250,000 for 1914. Similarly electric business, shipping, spinning and rail ways attracted great increases of cap ital. New business undertakings started last year were larger in cap ital by $20,000,000 than the year be fore last, taking into count the busi ness that showed a falling off. "The situation," says the Japan Times, "affords strong evidence that the flotation of companies and start ing of now enterprises are becoming the order of the day and the season of timhl and retiring capital, of un paid labor and withering dullness In general is over. There is this, of course, to be prepared against, that after the war when huge numbers of workers will be released frfom light ing service, when munition factories will all at once be restored to their legitimate business, and when the mar ket will be glutted with labor, there will be a far-reaching economic up heaval In Europe, the effect of which the United States and Japan will be the first to feel. But the upheaval Is universal and unavoidable. In the meantime it is certainly to the best Interests of the country and a duty to it to help on the present wave of busi ness revival. We are glad that the country is getting active in the right direction." The remarkable rise in the Japa nese export trade and general pros perity lias been followed by a note of warning by Tokio bankers. Dr. Ke saroku Mlzumachi, vice-governor of the Bank of Japan, and others point out that the present Is a serious mo ment for bankers for the extraordi nary inflation in money is more dan gerous In a sense than extreme short age of funds. The vice-governor says he is glad that efforts are being made to make good the shortage in imports by inaugurating new industries. This meant much to the money situation which was suffering from the abnor mal increase in gold. He urgently recommended nourishing the rising in dustries of the country thus avoiding the danger that "they collapse like so I many bubbles." Above everything, he affirmed, caution should be the watchword—for the prosperity and finance to-day is the prosperity and I finance 01. a time of war.

GILMER, 2717 Derry St. THE IHBHONBSTY OF EXTRAVAGANCE By Dorothy I>ix There are two kinds of thievery. One is the open and above board dis honesty of the robber, and the other la the dishonesty of the dead beat. And of the two the dishonesty of the dead beat Is the more contemptible. The porch climber and the burglar risk their liberty and their necks In their profession, also they are avowed enemies to society and give you a chance to protect yourself against their depredations. And they do not prey upon their friends. The dead beat, on the other hand. Is a sneakthlef who trades on the fact that his thievery Is so smoothly done that he cannot be punished for It, and that he keeps always within the law. He Is an inside worker against whom you cannot defend yourself, and his victims are Ills friends and his family and acquaintances, those who trust him. The dead beat does not use a jimmy and a dark lantern when he starts out to rob. Nor does he put a pistol to the head of the Individual he proposes holding up. His methods are much more subtle. He gets your money by borrowing and by means of bills that he makes without any means or the remotest Intention of ever paying. When It comes down to a matter of real honesty no man or woman con victed of thievery and serving their term In a penitentiary is one whit more guilty than those men and women who are always "touching" us for a little loan, or who buy things that they cannot afford and for which they never pay. What is the difference between the "dip" who lifts a ten-dollar bill out of our pocket on a crowded car when we are not looking and the friend who rushes hurriedly In and says, "Old man, won't you let me have five or ten dollars until pay day?" well knowing that there will never be any pay day for you? What is the difference between the shoplifter who sneaks a lace scarf or a pair of gloves off of a counter and the woman who buys the lace scarf i and gloves, knowing that the merchant will never get his money for them? Yet there are thousands of supposedly 1 reputable people who live by their wits that way and who would be furiously angry if 'anybody told them the truth and that their photographs and finger prints ought to be adorning the Rogues' Gallery. To many of us It Is a perpetual won der how certain people can live In the style they do. We know the man makes a moderate salary, yet he and his wife live as if they were rich. The answer to the puzzle is that they are practising thievery as a side line. The difference between their income and their expenditure they pilfer from the various merchants with whom they deal. The woman has stolen her clothes from dressmakers and milliners. The man has robbed the tailor of his, and they've held up the butcher and grocer for their food. It's not a pretty thought, is It? And to one with old fashioned ideals of honor and honesty It seems a pity that they cannot be made to pay the penalty of their | crimes. ; Certainly there is no dishonesty that i has so little excuse as the dishonesty | of extravagance, and there Is none so I common. THE COMFORTS OP HOME Whoever has tolled for a long, hot, dull, wearisome way through barren, uninteresting country and come at last to a shadowy, quiet, little grove where flowers bloomed and a cool spring gleamed, found that his whole being re sponded to its beauty, his tense nerves | relaxed, his mind was refreshed and his heart free. Some such exultation of spirit comes to a man who enters a simply, unpretentiously furnished home after a hard, fatiguing day of work. The grove is restful because it Is never pretentious; it is beautiful but is not. as one might say, conscious of the fact. This same simple spirit of unpretentious beauty should be a ! characteristic of every home. Preten- I tiousness is the opposite of truth, so j never accomplishes anything; a pre- I tender is always held in contempt and I never arrives anywhere.

Dee. 7, 1909 la never relegated to any one phase off life. A laborer's life may be the most complex and complicated of existences while a rich man's may be free from intricacy, affectations and artificiality. Simplicity consists in being one's self with no attempt to deceive. A beauti ful room should be 110 more pretentious than a beautiful flower. It can be humble like the violet, sumptuous like the rose, elegant and stately like the lily, gracious like a spreading oak tree, but In every case It. must be itself, hon est and with 110 dissembling. There is something that borders on immorality In imitation period furni ture. It is dishonest, for it assumes to be something that it is not and j should be as scorned as counterfeit. ! gold. Faithful copies are an entirely different matter and are not to be ranked with the loose, untruthful shams, so commonly offered for sale. If furniture Is sold under period names it should be the best possible represen tative piece. A chair that Is sold as Gothic or Jacobean or Chippendale should be a truthful reproduction of a characteristic example of the work of those times.
