There you will meet the friend whom you long ago lost track of, there you will again become the boy of twenty years ago and there you will join the crowd in cracker-jack, hamburger sandwiches, cones and red lemonade. It’s worth it all, just to forget for a day the cares and worries of everyday life and to see how rapidly we have advanced in a year. An interesting article in the Chicago Record-Herald tells of the benefactions of wealthy women. Mrs. Leland Stanford heads the list with the 130,000,000 bequest to the university in memorial to her son; but Mrs. Russell Sage will pass her when she has given away the $65,000,000 left by her husband. Then follow Helen Gou>d Mrs. Thomas F. Ryan. Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, Miss Ann Morgan, the daughter of 3. Pierpont Morgan; Mrs. Oliver Hfl P. Belmont and her daughter, the Duchess of Marlborough, whose wealth came from the Vanderbilts; Miss Giulia Morosini, Mrs. Harold McCormick, Miss Helen Frick, Miss Dorothy Whitnpy, Miss Mary Harriman, and Mrs. Clarence Mackay. They form a goodly list, and demonstrate that not all women of wealth are frivolous and heartless. But how was the wealth accumulated? Perhaps it is charitable not to question closely.

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE ON GRAVE Fort Wayne Man Falls at Dramatic Exit. Fort Wayne.

FINE SHOW AT THE CRYSTAL The show at the Crystal airdome was as usual well attended and the patrons of this popular amusement center were cleverly entertained. Not only were the three reels new and up to date, but they were happy subjects and certainly appealed to laugn lovers. The engagement of Mr. Dave Johnson “the singing and dancing Kid” proved a ten strike- for Mgr. Biggs, as Mr. Johnson made good on his first appearance and was vociferously encored and was forced to repeat his turn at each show. Mr. Johnson, who has been a vaudeville headliner for a number of years, has a very clever singing and dancing act and if you miss seeing him during his engagement at the Crystal airdome you will miss the best attraction ever offered in this city. The Crystal orchestra’s offerings last evening were fine, and Decatur can boast of one of the finest musical organizations in the state. Mr. Johnson will be at the Crystal yet Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Three reels, two illustrated songs, orchestra of nine pieces during entire evening and all for the same old price, 5 cents. Query, how can you lose. It CAUGHT ON ERIE Two Men Captured by Erie Detective Force at Huntington THE THIRD CAME IN And Wanted to Share the Fate of His Companions —A Strange Affair The loyalty and fidelity of Damon to Pythias, as told in the old legend, was never better exemplified than in the attitude whjch Bert Bertalucci displayed in the city court this morning toward twp friends and companions. He preferred a jail sentence of eleven days to freedom apart from his friends and accepted the sentence of the court without a murmur. Captain Touisaant, of the Erie detective force and Deputy Chief of Police Payne Sunday evening arrested George Bolinger and Frank Prichey, who were charged with riding trains on the Erie. Both were lodged in jail. They each told a story of how they had traveled from Mansfield, 0., and were enroute to Chicago, where they said they were promised jobs. Just about time for the city court to convene this morning Bertolucci appeared. His advent was heralded by the two prisoners and it turned out that the officers had overlooked him when the arrest of Bolinger and Prichey was made, and that he had voluntarily come to the police station to share whatever fate was meted out to them. All were men above the average in appearance, well dressed and posseessed of manners entirely foreign to the average train rider and hobo. Judge Anderson fined each of them $1 and costs, and they will board at the expense of Huntington county for eleven days, when they will probably board another Erie train stnd continue their journey to Chicago. —Huntington Democrat.
