1' A BEVY OF DIVORCEES One or the great big Chicago successes of last season will be the attraction at the Gennett theater on Friday night when the Princess Amusement company offers "Honeymoon Trail." This play is a musical comedy by Hough, Adams and Howard, the authors of "The Time. The Place and The Girl." "The Girl Question" and "A Stubborn Cinderella." and ran for two hundred nights at the Chicago home of musical comedy, the La Salle theater. The production will be identically the same as during its long run in Chicago, while the company is composed of all well known performers in musical comedy work. The story is a very amusing one, and depicts the adventures of a hustling salesman, who is sent to a rest cure sanitarium by his employers. Adjoining the sanitarium is a "divorce colony" hotel, and It does not take the energetic salesman long to get the two establishments mixed up in one merry jumble. His ever fertile brain is always searching for a new advertising scheme to exploit his wares, and some of his Ideas are excruciatingly funny. Before he has been at the sanitarium three days he has all the Inmates of same, working for him, and he then turns his attention to the guests of the hotel. He soon makes bitter enemies friends and is the means of re-marrying divorced couples. During this time be also has his little love affair, and the play ends with his marrying the daughter of a rival concern of his employers. The scenes are laid in lower ' California and afford great scope for the scenic artist and costumer and Mort H. Singer has taken full advantage of the opportunities offered him, and has given to the public one of the most gorgeous productions ever presented. There is no doubt that "Honeymoon Trail" will be the one great attraction of the season here, and should accordingly be greeted by a great big house. Rosar Mason Stock Co. Gennett. The Rosar Mason Stock Co., which will fill a week's engagement at the Gennett theater starting Monday, Sept. 21, is considered one of the strongest repertoire companies on the road. It carries fifteen people, besides six special vaudeville acts, including the famous Rosar Musical family, MAKES AMENDS TO THE JEWS Commissioner Bingham Retracts Damaging Figures. New York, Sept. 17. Police Commissioner Bingham signalized his return from his vacation yesterday by publicly retracting the figures contained in an article written by him and recently published in a magazine, tot he effect that the eJwish population of New York furnished one half the criminals of the city. "The figures used in the article," said Mr. Bingham, "were not compiled by myself, but were furnished me by others, and unfortunately were assumed to be correct. It now appears, however, tht these figures vere unreliable. Hence it became my duty frankly to say so, and repudiate them." The commissioner concludes with, an expression of regret that "so many estimable citizens feel hurt by what I wrote without the slightest malice, prejudice or unfriendliness, for I have none," and thus without reserve withdraws the statement which was promptly and vigorously challenged by Jewish leaders and societies SELLS WIFE FOR PALTRY SOM Was Valued at Only $15 by Husband. Cleveland. Sept. 17. Police are searching for Michael Houssam, accused by his wife of selling her to a boarder, with the furniture of their little home on East Eighty-third street for $13.

which is considered one of the strongest musical acts traveling. The opening play, when ladles will be admitted free, with each 30 cent ticket, will be a beautiful sensational comedy drama entitled "At Risk of His Life" written by Mark E. Swan. Special scenery and electrical effects will be used. "Thorns and Orange Blossoms." In the new Rowland and Clifford production, "Thorns and Orange Blossoms," which will be seen at the Gennett Sept. 22 there is much that is of true democratic worth and giveu by a company that brings out the production in a most interesting manner. "Thorns and Orange Blossoms" was adapted from Bertha Clay's novel of the same name. The piece has one tragic situation, which occurs early in the play, but it is forgotten in the events that crowd one another and go to make up one of the best constructed and interesting stories that has ever been presented en-tour. The play is full of good lines that strike home, has a lot of excellent business, and the situations and climaxes are well brought out. Vaudeville at the Phillips. "That's easy picking" said the guy who knew at the New Phillips the other night as Mrs Sherrock was going through the real part of her mind reading act. She had just announced the kind of watch that a man was wearing, and had told the time of the evening from it. "Her husband, when he asks her the questions, uses a set phrase for different articles. That's no hard thing; anybody could do that Now you watch me stick him." Sherrock approached the man, who was sitting near the rear of the auditorium. The cynic pointed to the thermometer, which was hanging nearby. "Ask her what this is" he suggested. "What is this." asked the husband of his wife, who was sitting with, her back turned, blindfolded, on the stage. "It's a " Mrs. Sherrock hesitated. "Tell right off what it is," commanded the husband. The wise guy was chuckling. "It's a thermometer," said Mrs. Sherrock. "Of course it is." said Sherrock. And the wise guy melted away. A HOWL Paper Manufacturer Says Mills Will Close if Tariff Is Dropped. CANADA IS A COMPETITOR. Appleton, Wis., Sept. 17. "Because raw material is much cheaper in Canada and labor is considerably cheaper, we would have to go out of business if the tariff on wood pulp were to be cut off unless we could obtain higher prices for our sulphite," said N. M. Jones, of Bangor, Maine, manager of the Katahdin Pulp and Paper Company at Lincoln, Maine, before the Congressional Investigation Committee. Continuing, Mr. Jones said: "Unless we can get our material as cheaply as the Canada mille do we can not compete with them." Mr. Jones said that in Maine the pulp wood supply is practically Inexhaustible, but in the Middle West the manufacturers will soon be obliged to procure it from Canada. "The only thing I see to do," he added, "is to make a treaty with Canada, not as a tariff, not as a Republican party today and a Democratic party tomorrow, but a treaty whereby the tariff on pulp wood would be cut off if our mills were allowed to purchase pulp wood in Canada at the same figures that Canadian mills do. I would also increase the duty on European pulp 100 per cent. Europe is our greatest competitor, not Canada." The Maine man was the only witness Wednesday, the committeemen devoting most of the day Inspecting the mills at Kaukaukana. Combined Locks, Klmberly and Little Chute. The taking of testimony was resumed this morning at Menasha. Here's a Way to Save. Don't measure the cost of your weekly wash bill by what you pay the washerwoman.

RAISING
Morton C. Pearson Asks All Christian Societies to Aid Option.
IT IS A MORAL DUTY. "SHALL. THE BREWERS RULE, OR SHALL RIGHT RULE" HIS PLEA COPIES OF LETTER ARE RECEIVED HERE. A number of the members of the local Christian Endeavor societies have received a letter from the Rev. Morton C. Pearson, superintendent of Good Citizenship department, which is sent out in the belief that the cause of local option demands that all who are working to bring about a higher standard of morality, should take a hand in the present campaign. This letter calls all the members of the organization to rally to the support of local county option. The letter follows : To the Christian Endeavorers of the State of Indiana: As the superintendent of the good citizenship department of the Christlon Endeavor Union of Indiana, I come to you with the following personal appeal: For more than a quarter of a century the Christian Endeavor movement has been making good citizens. Thousands of the voters in the coming election have been enrolled in our membership. The highest conception of what constitutes a good citizen has been formed in the councils of our soicety. We have now reached ourj majority and are exercising our rights and privileges as citizens. The present time furnishes us a great opportunlty to make ourselves felt for right-' eousness throughout the state. The present campaign Is one in which a! moral Issue is the great issue. j It is a campaign in which the people! are asking for the right, to rule. They' are asking for the passage of a local option law with the county as the unit. By such a law the people may determine whether or not the saloon shall exist within said county. The line of battle is clearly drawn. The brewery interests of the state are determined to defeat the measure. Shall we let them rule? I call upon all Endeavorers to lay aside party affiliations in the present campaign and support for the legislature only those men who are known openly to identify themselves with this righteous movement. Should a county local option bill be presented to the special session of the legislature, it is our duty to use all the influence of our union for its passage. Should county local option become the law at the special session, it becomes all the more imperative that we elect those men to the regular session who will preserve the law for the people and an executive who will see to its enforcement. This is a contest in which every minister and Christian worker should be deeply concerned and we do not by any means forego our rights as citizens of this commonwealth when we become ministers and Christian workers. In conclusion let me urge you to organize your forces in every society. Know your candidates thoroughly. Compel every candidate to state his position on this issue. Then work earnestly for the man who promises to stand for the best interests of the people. Sincerely yours, REV. MORTON C. PEARSON. Supt. Good Citizenship Department.
