Admission, 15 and 35 cents.—Adv. &ARRIBBURG TELEGRAPH W.C.T.U. DEBATE FINE ARGUMENTS Innovation to Usual Program Is Well Received and Heartily Enjoyed One of the most interesting and unusual meetings ever held in Har risburg took place yesterday after noon at the Fourth Street Church of God, when four members of the W. C. T. U. debated the question, "Re solved, That Christian nations have carried more harm than good to the heathen." It is rare to find debates carried on by contestants beyond High school or college age, and when grandmothers become Portias, it is decidedly unique. On each side of this argument was a snow-haired grandmother, the supporter ot the negative a greatgrandmother, in fact. Both these aged women hold high rank in the community, both having had heaped upon them honors of church and righteousness; Mrs. H. B.' Hartzler and Mrs. Margaret El lenberger. They are both crusaders of the early days of the W. C. T. U., when national sentiment was first awakened on the subject of pollu tion from strong drink. One of them, Mrs. Ellenberger, spoke valiantly for the good the white missionary had done in heathen lands; the other, Mrs. Hartzler, contested with equal courage of conviction, that Christian nations have failed to uphold the standard their name indicates. | In the absence of Mrs. J. Horace McFarland, one of the Judges, Mrs. , J. B. Kob consented to act, with Mrs. E t A. Reigel and Mrs. Thomas S. ; Blair. After commenting on the j splendid support each side of the ar gument had received, Mrs. Relgel, as chairman of the committee of Judges, awarded the victory to the negative. Mrs. John DeGray, affirmative, and Mrs. Walter M. Davis, negative, were the supporting debaters of the cru- I saders. The Bowers-Richardson Wedding at High Noon I Miss Ruth M. Richardson of Camp Hill and Thomas J. Bowers of this city I were quietly married Thursday, June 7, at high noon in the Pine Street Presbyterian Church, Third and Pine streets, by the pastor, the Rev.

Richardson, wore a dark blue traveling costume with bat to match and a corsage bouquet of bride's roses j and valley lilies. i Miss Richardson was maid of honor for her sister and Hayes Hoover of I,emoyne was best man. A wedding breakfast was served after the serv ice at the bride's home, where a few intimate friends Joined with the fami lies In showering the young couples with good wishes. Mr. and Mrs. Bow ers will make their home In Camp Hill after a brief wedding trip. GAMES, MUSIC AND SUPPER WITH MRS.

Such Is the theme of Haydn's wonderful oratorio, "The Creation," sunk last night by the members of the Musical Art Society In Grace Methodist Epis copal Church, it is the first chapter of the Bool: ot Gents set to music with a libretto of poeti2 beauty. It was of this composition that the great master said he was never so pious as when at work upon it and he prayed dally for strength and In spiration. Most of the solo work in the reci tative selections was carried by Miss Mary Buttorff, soprano, and William S. Hoover, baritone. Miss Buttorff's voice Is firm and colorful, her high tones being as full, true and well sustained as her lower register. There is a flexibility and appealing quality about It which was especially pleasing in such passages' as "Cooing calls the tender dove his mate," de scriptive of nesting in the Garden of Eden, and "Here fragrant herbs their odors shed, here shoots the healing plant," when God commanded the earth to bring forth grass and yield ing seed. Mr. Hoover's clear, dis tinct enunciation is one of the strong est points of his singing. He has a baritone of good range and volume and a sympathetic understanding of I the tonal art. It was the splendid chorus of fifty voices which showed the time and labor expended to make the ren dition a success. Under the ahle leadership of their conductor, John W. Phillips, musical director of the choir of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, this group of mixed voices sang the choral parts with a smooth ness and unison wich was a delight to ear. During the finale of part I, "The Heavens are Telling," the bit of "Creation" so appreciated by all real music-lovers, the audience was borne upon a wave of exaltation, thrilled by the majesty of the reverent beauty o' the selection. It was in the abrupt staccato ending of measures and phrases that the chorus showed their familiarity with the difficult score. Day by day the great story of the world's beginntng was unfolded, couched In exquisite diction set to music of rare suggestion and beauty and handled by singers and musicians who gave of their best unsparingly. Beautiful Solo Work Interspersed throughout the ora torio were arias sung in solo form where both words and music were unsually descriptive, from "Affright ed fly hell's spirits black in throngs —to endless night" to "Rolling in foaming billows, uplifted, roars the boisterous sea." The fine accompani ment of Updegrove's orchestra and of William R. Stonesifer at the or gan jonied with teh voices in making these bits of melodic beauty es pecially effective. The other principals, both in solo and trio singing, were Mrs. Vania Forster. Miss Katharine Dubbs and Miss Mildred Carman, soprapos; John Fisher and William Bretz, tenors, and Ross Harman, baritone. It has been thirty years or more since Haydn's "Creation" has been given by Harrisburg talent, but the Musical Art Society has shown dur ing the past winter as well as last night that there is a local field for building up good choral work of which the city may be justly proud. A silver collection for the benefit of the Red Cross was taken during the evening and in the neighborhood of $25 secured. Following the oratorio a supper was served to the singers and their guests in the church parlors, where Professor Phillips in a graceful little address commended them for the season's work and bade them good-by for the summer months to resume their study the first of October. MHS. Ti nJiEH'S VOICE PUPII.S GIVE A DEMGHTFI'I, RECITAL Pupils of Mrs. Phoebe Smith Turner gave a delightful recital last evening at her residence, 181 Peffer street, with an audience of forty.

Bulk weight and thick ness is the only valid objection to a pocket time piece. Watchmakers are constantly striving to re duce size without sacrific ing accuracy. Dietrich Gfuen hit upon a simple rearrangement of the train wheels, which takes away half of tho thickness of the watch. It's a feature ex clusive in Gruen Watches, making them "fit the pocket like a silver dollar." No watch equals Gruen Verithins in beauty and convenience. None sur passes them in accuracy.
