Some of yon who think you are
well up in spelling just try to spell the

agreeable to witness the unparalleled
ecstasy of two harrassed peddlers en
deavoring to guage the symmetry of
two peeled pears."
- -The collapse of the Franklin syndi
cate in New York, carrying with it the
money of tens of thousands of small in
vestors, is a calamity against which the
sufferers cannot claim not to have been

professing to pay impossible profits and
doim; business on the endless chain
system has ever survived beyond a very
brief period.

PARK THEATRE.
THANKSGIVING—MY SON BEN.
One of the most powerful and effec- 1
tive climaxes is that which closes the
first act of "My Son Ben." In this act
Ike, a comrade of Ben, Farmer
Thorpe's son, quarrels with his bene
factor, Ben. over a lady whose prefer
ance for Ben is strongly marked. The
lady extracts a promise from her lover
not to fight with Ike, who taunts him
with cowardice. Ike falls into a torrent
that serves as a water sluice, and at the
risk of his life Ben rescues him.
"THE GIRL FROM CHILI", DEC. 4.
"The Girl from Chili" is a bright and
entertaining play with a cleverly devised
plot, plenty of .action and numerous
mirth provoking scenes. Theplotshows
orginality of invention and a marvel
ously skillful handling of the many
complications evolved. Fitz and Web
ster have surrounded Miss Mayme Chil
dress, who appears in the title role,
with a capable company and permits
them to display their talents without
the restraint which is too often imposed
in the selfish and short
sighted policy of stellar ag
grandizment. As » connoquence,
amusement lovers see an evenly excel
lent entertainment.
O'BRIEN THE CONTRACTOR, DEC. 0.
Daniel Sully, the famous Irish-Ameri
can actor, will appear in his truthful crea
tion "O'Brien, the Contractor". The
play hinges on the scheming of thiee
financiers to defeat the completion of a
piece of railroad which a poor Irish con
tractor is pushing through and which is
to make him rich. Failing to make
any headway by fair means, they resort
to trickery and deceit. They succeeded
in winning over the Italian laborers but
they fail to induce the Irishmen to be
tray their employer and join the plot.
The arrival of O'Brien disguised, his
passionate pleading to the men to stand
by O'Brien, the contractor, has the de
sired result: the men return to work.
The final blast is made—the rails nailed
to the ties—the road bed of rock and
dirt hastily thrown in place—the "gold
en spike" produced and finally driven
home —complete the most natural,
truthful and exciting scents ever placed
upon a stage.

Love, formerly of this county, will give

programs.
Grand Opera House Pittsburg
"The Wife", one of the greatest of
the Belasco & DeMill successes, will be
the attraction at the Grand Opera House
next week and with it the stock com
pany shonld score one of the best sue
cesses of the year. "The Wife" is one
of the first of the Belasco plays that has
been seen in Pittsburg in some time,
and its revival should, therefore, be
, something of a novelty. Belasco & De-
Mille together wrote many famous
plays, and during the life of the latter
it was always said that Belasco was the
1 constructor and DeMille the writer, but
since DeMille's death Belasco has con
' continued his wonderful success, pro
ducing "The Heart of Maryland" and
later "Raza" with Mrs. Leslie Carter in
the title role.

the 50 traverse jurors was drawn from

was made up.

was called before Judge J. W. F.
White, president judge of Common
Pleas Court No. 2, of Allegheny Co..
Monday morning. The suit was based
on the alleged action of ex-Assistant

money to Senator Flinn, and resulted
from the recent discovery of the ex
istence of cancelled checks made pay
able to House and indorsed to the order
of Flinn and Booth & Flinn and signed
