Union Pa cific,- Northern Pacific and Lehigh Val ley were fractionally lower, while Cana dian Pacific, Xew York Central, New Haven and Ontario and Western made substantial gains. Dealings were in much smaller volume than on the pre ceding day. the development in the inter national situation and the attitude of this government thereto subordinated all other considerations in the local market. Prices shaded slightly, but the undertone was firtn. The prominence of New Haven at a further advance was an unusual feature. Reading, Union Pacific and U. S.

DISPLAY OF FEMININE FINERY 111 THE ORPHEUM Mere Man Can See Exhibition Without ~ Blushing or Flinching—Virtues In New Acts On Bill and No Faults In Any Beauty of face and beauty of dress combine in "The Fashion Shop," the headliner of the week at the Orpheum, to make tip a most attractive act. The living models are dressed in full view of the audience in handsome gowus dc siigjied by the "chicken dresser" him self, Hugo Jansen. The appearance on the stage of the models daintily but scantily ganbed prior to being dressed gives mere man the impression at first that he is some place where he has no business to be, but he does not blush or flinch and after the gowns have been properly arranged in place, he concludes that after all there was nothing ter ribly shocking about it and that it was just as well he was there to enjoy the splendid cffocts of the finished dresses. Although the nature of the act com pels the models to appear in public garbed in a way not usually considered decorous, yet the absolute lack of sug gestiveness in the talk and the actions of the characters makes the act what it really is, a beautiful display of femi nine finery accompanied by good clean comedy, appealing both to the esthetic sense and to the sense of humor of the onlookers. Hugo Jansen, as the proprietor of the modiste shop, is a gw>d comedian as well as a deft designer of fashions, Mada Ponder, as Mimie, 4s a pleasing singer, and Erl Corr as Hvram Corn crilb ami Blanche Latell. as his daugh ter, Neuralgia, are ridiculously funny. The three models add attractiveness to the production by the?r facial beauty, but that lias nothing to do with the gwns and may as well be ruled out of the discussion." Another Really Good Act . The other really good a-ct on this week's bill is a playlet, "Twenty Odd Years." exceptionally wel| presented. Harry Bereaford as "Nunkey," guard ian of a love si<vk nieice, can create comedy by a glance properly placed and in his speech is richly funny. With the exception of a piano ac cordionist, the other performers on the bill all come in pairs. Their accomplish ments include vocal music, attempts at vocal music, tight no[>e walking, clever and quasi-clever dialogues, and dancing both elegant and not so elegant. The bill has many virtues in a few acts and no faults in any.

In the preamble the bill gives a his tory of tho famous heroine. Mtiry X/iul wig, of Carlisle, married John Hays, of Carlisle, and John enlisted in the Continental army. At the battle of Mon mouth on June 28, 1778, John Hays was shot down at the mouth of his cannon and bofore the command could be obey ed "to the rear with the unmanned gun," "Molly Pitcher" took the place of her husband and served for eight hours, rallying the troops and assisting | in winning the battle, for which heroic action she was called before Washing ton and brevetted a sergeant, the French troops calling her El Capitan or Captain Molly. Mary returned to Carlisle with her husband, and after his death she mar rtfed a man named MoCauley, who also died, and then Pennsylvania gave Molly a pension of $-10 a year "for services rendered in the Revolutionary war," indexed "Molly (Mn'Kolley, Revolution ary heroine." the only woman so in dexed in the archives of Pennsylvania. She signed vouchers for this pension, according to the history accompanying the bill, in some of which she spells her name McKollv and some McCaulev. The citizens of Carlisle erected a humble monument to mark her grave iu the old graveyard at Carlisle, but the State lias never erected a proper monument to the only woman cannoneer of the Revolutionary war. The bill names as a commission to seleet the plan for the monument and erect it: Rov IJ. Schuyler, 'Ha ven; William A. Rupp, Carlisle; Wil liam S. Wacker, Philadelphia, and Her man A. Miller, of Easton, together with three other citizens of the State to be appointed by the Governor. The com mission will serve without compensa tion except traveling and incidental expenses. The bill was referred to the Com mittee on Appropriations. HUNDREDS TURNED AWAY AT MAJESTIC LAST NICHT House Is Packed for First Performance by Thurston, Modern Merlin, Who Does Stunts Which Are Really Mar velous Hundreds of persons were actually turned awav at the Majestic Theatre last night, where the maigician, Thurs ton, gave his first performance here this season. The house was sold out some time befoiife the doors opened. Al though the initial rush was due to the reduced rato made possible by coupons issued by the Star-Independent. The au dience this afternoon was also a large one and indications are that the per formances to-night and to-morrow aft ernoon and night will draw additional big crowds. Those who had to fight to gain ad mission to the theatro last night,—air.l many were driven to that resort,—- were well compensated for their trouble. The exhibition of magic given by Thurston is nothing short of marvelous in all three parts. The delusions arc really delusions; there is no explaining them. The crowds who leavo the show, dazed and mystified, know that they have been deceived in some way or oth er, but they went to tho theatre for that purpose and arc perfectly well satisfied. Seems to Be Real Wizard There are tricksters and »leight-of hand performers in plenty, but ma gicians in these days are rare, and Thurston from all outward appearances is one of the wizards surviving from t'he time of the great Merlin. After he had performed a few of his disap pearance stunts, h c would have little difficulty in convincing the spectators that he could make tdic whole stage van ish if he wanted to, anil perhaps the en tire theatre. Mr. Thurston is an entertaining talk er and has a well 'developed sense of humor. The fun relieves the strain pro duced by the mysticism, and there is plenty of it between curtains for the purpose. The magician is assisted by more than a score of persons, and it is darkly hinted that these persons do not always come in full view of the audi ence to do the assisting. Jt may not be difficult to make guesses as to "how he does it," but it is unlikely that many of the guesses are correct ones. Thurston has Harris burg talking tp-day, and when he leaves the city hp will leave a large part of it in wonder and delight at his exhibi tion of remarkable iskill. IT PAYS TO USE STAR INDEPENDENT WANT ADS. 11 U WITH IS i mm Governor Brumbaugh Issues Defy to Law makers Who Oppose the Measure HALTS PLAN TO RUSH OUT BILL Wants It Kept in Committee So That There Can Be a Public Hearing- Says He Will Oppose Re-election of Men Who Fight Bill Legislative hulls fairly buzzed last, night over an incident that occurred just previous to the House being called to order, and which concerned the I/aw and Order Committee of that body and Governor Brumbaugh. It had l been announced by certain members of the Law and Order Com mittee that a meeting of that body would be held to-day and the local op tion bill reported out with a favorable recommendation. This quick action oil the bill in committee did not suit Gov ernor Brumbaugh, who had been tipped off that the bill was to bo reported out soon in order that its opponents might kill it, as they now process to have enough votes to defeat it. Any delay in reporting the bill would give the Governor more opportunity to have per sonal talks with legislators and urge the passage of the local option bill. ljiist night the members of the and Order Committee were invited to call at. the Executive Department at $ o'clock to have a conference with Gov ernor Brumbaugh and fifteen of them responded along with Speaker Ambler. When seated those committeemen were informed by Governor Brumbaugh that ,he had asked their presence in order 1 that he might request them not to re j port the local option bill out until it ! had hnd a hearing publicly, and botl» | sides had been given a chance to be ; heard. The Governor said that the local op- I tion measure is one thatvformed a pirt of his personal platform, and he wanted to see it passed, anil thought ft, wouH have a better chance if its report irond committee were deferred. An opponent of the bill told tlm Governor that the bill has already been in committee a month, to which tho Governor replied that he was l'ully aware of the status of measure.
