ing by Deputy Coroner Dr. W. S.
Johnson .inquiring into the circum
stances surrounding the death of Pe
ter Kane, Jr., who was fatally in
jured while at work at the Delaware
fc Hudson breaker about a week
ago. Tho testimony showed that

by a 'part of an eccentric thrown
from tho third floor of the breaker.

cidental. For two weeks the farm man
agement agents of the Department
of Agriculture held daily meeting in
Philadelphia. About 150 of the state,

ably provide for the raising of
troops to 75 or 100 men each. The

would not supply the requests from
various parts of tho state. Efforts
to Increase the state police force in
recent sessions have not been suc
cessful. Tho Citizen extends congratu

It Is rumored that tho brother
of Ellas Vantran, who undoubtedly
was accidentally drowned in Falls
burgh Lake, went to Mlddletown to
consult a clairvoyant in regard to
tho matter and as a result ho was
informed that Mr. Vantran was safe
and happy and not in the lake. In a
certain sense the seer probably has
spoken the truth, but there is no
doubt in the minds of anyone in that
region but what his body is some
where in tho bottom of Fallsburgh
Lako and In due course of time will
bo brought to tho surface. However,
all efforts to discover the where
abouts of the body thus far have
been in vain.

"THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS."
Jos. M. Galtes will preB6nt at the
'Lyric Wednesday, Feb,, '5th, John
Hyams and Leila Mclntyro as joint
stars In the atmospheric musical
play, "Tho Girl of My Dreams."
"Tho Girl" seems still Indispensable
In the titles of these works. Tho
book Is the joint work of Wilbur
D. Nesblt, a Chicago newspaper writ
er, and Otto Hauerbach. The lato
Karl Hoschna, the composer of
"Three Twins," "Bright Eyes,"
"Madame Sherry" and "Doctor Do
Luxe" Is responsible for tho music.
The story tells of the difficulties
of tho leader of a bachelor's club
in winning the hand and heart of the
lady of his desire in the person of a
little Quaker girl with "hazel eyes"
from tho country. The comedy sit
uations of the piece are extremely
farcial and the occasion of much
merriment, and through a network
of curious .misunderstandings that
run through the piece, the young
man has many hardships to overcome
and much explaining to do before he
finally Is permitted to claim the lit
tle Quaker girl for his bride. In the
principal roles are Leila Mclntyre as
"Lucy," the Quaker Maiden, and
John Hyams as Harry Swlfton,
planter of wild cats. Miss Mclntyre
is a demure, sweet unspoiled come
dienne whose lack of ostentations
gallery play Is refreshing. She sings
effectively and her dancing Is an art
ot Genee s resource. John Hyams
gets much humor out of the repent
ant bachelor.
Mr. Galtes has surrounded the co
stars wit han excellent company of
'Principals and a big beauty chorus.
Irving Brooks, Alice Hills, Silvia DI
Frankle, Neil Burns, Delia Nicen,
Francis Gaillard, Frank McEwen,
Adele Boulais and Joseph Harris are
in the cast.
Karl Hoschna turned out a rcore
of song hits, just as jingly and ting-
ly as in his "Three Twins," and
"Madame Sherry." They are: "I'm
Ready to Quit and bo Good," "Tho
Girl Who Wouldn't Spoon," "Quaker
Talk," "Belles of the Tally-Ho
Boarding School," "O-o-h (iMaybe
It's a Robber"), "The Girl of My
Dreams" and "Doctor Tinkle Tin
ker." The two acts are gorgeously
mounted. Order yours seats in ad
