WORLD'S MACCABEES MEET Great Interest Attaches to Session Be ing Held To-day In New York The "World's Maccabees" through out the United States and Canada are interested in the great convention which is lieing held in New York City at the Waldorf-Astoria to-day. This convention is held in the interests of the Woman's Association, with local branches throughout the United States and Canada. The State of Pennsylvania is represented by the great commander, Miss Nellie E. Lounsbury, of Warren, great record keeper, Miss Minnie E. Burgin, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Fan ny R. Sloan, of Pittsburgh; Miss Mayme Myers, of Greeusiiurg; Mrs. Ellen L. Garrity, of Scranton, and Mrs. Minnie B. Evans, of Philadelphia. The program includes the election of supreme officers and the presentation of many important measures. Miss Bina M. West, the founder of the Wom an 's Association, prepared a report showing the net gain from May 1, 1909, to May 1, 1915, was more than over 40,000 benefit members, and a net gain for 1915 to idate of 5.000 bene fit members. Mrs. M. H. Hickok, of this city, supervising deputy, said to-day: "Local officers and members are elated over the progress of their work, and when the Pennsylvania representa tives return, a full report will be giv en bv; fhem of the features of this pro gressive meeting.'' TYPHOID CHECKED IN NEWPORT Only :122 Cases In Whole State Last Month—2, KM) in April 1»OB Reports to-day from Xewport, Perry county, to the State Health Depart ment, are to the effect that there have been no new cases of typhoid de veloped, and it is thought the epidemic has %een cheeked. There were 63 cases in all, and three deaths before the department assufned charge. Typhoid cases throughout the State were fewer during the month of April this year than ever before in that month. In 1906, when Dr. Dixon first assumed charge of the State Health Department, there were 2,100 cases of typhoid reported in April, but during last April, tout 332 cases were reported. It is sought still to reduce this number. LITTLE CHANGE IN SCHEDULE Philadelphia & Beading to Hold Morn ing Train Pive Minutes Longer The new schevM e of the Philadel phia & Heading railway has one im portant. change, whereby the train to Reading which formerly left, here at 6.20 o'clock is delayed here five min utes, giving the people from the west eleven minutes time instead of six min utes as formerly. An appeal was also made to the com pany by the Travelers' Protective As sociation to run a night train but the company failed to grant the request at the present. There is no night accom modation for the people between Har risburg and Easton. Alleged Chicken Thief Held for Court Following the arrest Saturday of Robert Braxter, 812 fiowden street, by Policeman iMcCann, the former being caught with a bag of eight chickens on bis back, was given a hearing Saturday night before Alderman Murray and held for court under S3OO bail. Brax ter was given a hearing Saturday after noon before Mayor R-oyal but no evi dence could be secured against him. The chickens, however, were identified' as those belonging to a woman at Dau phin. Braxter would not plead guilty to the charge and insisted that the chickens were given him by two men whom he met along the road. Laconic Kitchener of Khartum knew just what to do when he heard that a dis tinguished and recently married officer was being visited by his wife at his headquarters in the field. "One of you must come home," he wired.— Boston Globe. WAR Intrigue—Horror New Facts and Secrets Never Before Published Read The STAR-INDEPENDEN T'S Announcement On Page 8 J /IML/S£iM£jVrS MAJESTIC Thursday evening, May 27, Christie Mac Donald in "Sweethearts." COLONIAL Every afternoon and evening, vauda villi! and pictures. MOTION PICTURES Victoria Theatre. William Penn Theatre. Photoplay Theatre. Regent Theatre. * Christie Mac Donald Of all the musical comedy and com ic opera stars who have pleased Har risburg's more discriminating theatre goers none has met with more approval perhaps, than pretty, dainty Christie Mac Donald. Consequently the play-go ing folks read with more than ordi nary delight the announcement of the coming of Miss Mac Donald next Thurs day night in "Sweethearts." Inci dentally this pretty, sweet voiced sing er could not have appeared in a play that is bound to meet with such gen eral commendation. "Sweethearts" is a story of old Flanders, a fairy tale of the disappearance of the Princess Syl via, of her life as a waif, of the coming of Prince Franz, of the discovery of Sylvia's royal blood. Of course thev live happily ever afterward. To the dainty charm of Miss Mac Donald, must be added some additional features that will make the play mighty well worth going to see. For instance there will be a big, very lovely chorus, scenic set tings that will be beautiful and, finally, music by Victor Herbert.—Adv. * Show at Paxtang The summer theatrical season will have its beginning at the Paxtang Park theatre this evening. Harry Beck will start the ball rolling with his much heralded, "Made in Harrisburg," min strel show, and Beckie promises that it will be some production. For the past three months I.Mr. Beck has been gath ering the 'best of local singing talent for his big show at the park. Karl Burtnell, of the Feist Music Publish ing Company, has attended to the mu sical end of the program and nearly all the latest song hits will be used in the show. Mr. Beck will be seen in his usual position on one of the ends and promises to tell at least one original joke, [f he does that he will surpass anything we have seen in the way of minstrel end men in the past ten years. Or perhaps Beckie means that he will tell the original minstrel joke, which we are able to conceive as being quite probable.—Adv.* Electrical Venus at Colonial The electrical Venus is to be the headliner at the Colonial theatre dur ing the first three days of this week. This is a very pleasing spectacular nov elty in a class with some other sight acts that have been presented at the Colonial, hut different than any of the others. The Selvinos will give a shad owgraph a<'t with some new features to it. Larguy and Snee are a man and woman in one of those entertaining flirtation skits. Lang and Coulter also have a comedy sketch. The Colonial is enjoying some of the best Tnisiness it hat ever known. Never was the house on the 'busy corner more popular than it is now. Theatregoers get some good vaudeville, and they also get some good pictures. And the price is cheap. —Adv.* At the Regent Mary Pickford, Harrisburg's favor ite, is at the Regent to-day anil to morrow. In the film version of Henri etta Crossman's former starring ve hicle, "Mistress Nell," the famous drama of the gallant days of the gay •King Charles (2), IMary 'Pickford por trays that Wonderful character so often called the greatest heroine of historic and romantic drama, with such skill and charm as to make it one of her greatest screen triumphs. Nell Gwvn, the whimsical, impulsive and piquant little favorite of the public and the monarch of England, whose bravery and wit save her royal lover from treachery at home and abroad, is one of the most amazing characters ever presented in a drama, and Mary Pick ford lends a new and vivid beauty to "Mistress Nell" of whom it has 'been said, "England would not be as great without her!" The tender lover in terest of the story is dramatically de veloped in this dashing romance of the swashbuckling period of hearts and swbrds, and Mistress Nell's complete triumph over fhe enemies of the King, and over the heart of the King him self, is thrillingly and realistically por trayed. This is a Paramount program. Wednesday aiwi Thursday another Para mount production, "Buckshot John," is a comedy in five reels. This picture will not he repeated in any other the atre in this city.—Adv." LETTISH LINT Ladies' List—'Mrs. E. S. Becker. His# Anna Emlress, Mrs. Sarah Freeman, Sirs. C. S. Gildae.
