IS ITS ANNIVERSARY

Helen Hunt Club of Cambridge City Observes The Event.

OFFICERS WERE ELECTED

Cambridge City, Ind., Jan. 6. The Helen Hunt . Club celebrated its twentieth anniversary at the, home of Mrs. John Marson, Monday afternoon. Election of officers was the business part of the program, and resulted as follows: President, Mrs. John Judkins; vice-president, Mrs. Robert Hicks; secretary, Mrs. Willard Petro; treasurer, Miss Alice Bradbury; Executive Committee, Miss Hannah Overbeck, Mrs. John Marson and Mrs. John Judkins. The program was then , given into the hands of the Social Committee. A large cake bearing twenty candles was placed upon the table and the threo charter members present, Mrs. Virginia Meredith, Mrs. John Marson, and Mrs. Ophelia Shults, were asked to light the candles. Mrs. MarBon responded by giving a toast to the club; Mrs. Shults, a short history of it, and Mrs. Meredith, its place among other clubs of the state. At the close, a ghost, a spirit of the past appeared and presented to each member a post card bearing a characteristic of the person addressed. The next meeting will be in two weeks with Miss Harriet Ault.

their hands are really clean unless they use "Whiz." Get it of your grocer.

DAMAGE ONE CANNOT COVER.

Enormous Looms Caused by the Suspension of Operations and the Drifting Away of Trade That Are Not Appreciated by tho-General Public "1 suppose you heard that Blank & Co. were burned out from the roof to tbe basement last night?" remarks the man la the car. "No!" exclaims the friend who hasn't seen tbe morning paper. "I suppose they carried Insurance?" t "Oh, yes a hundred thousand of It!" returns the first speaker, at which his friend settles back with tbe comment that everything is all right then. This Is the layman's conclusion almost invariably. Some big concern burns out, but , with insurance , to an amount seeming to cover the loss the average man is disposed to feel that it is all right. He doesn't stop to think of the enormous risks of a business which cannot be covered by insurance and which for weeks, months or years after a fire are crippling and perhaps ruinous to the fire victim. Take, for example, a highly organized factory plant in prosperous times which has been turning out a vast specialized product from the hands of thousands of expert workmen. This plant, fitted with costly machinery, is covered by insurance upon its visible, material assets. Fire sweeps it and lays everything in hopeless ruin. If every piece of machinery, every building and all material adjuncts of the plant have been covered to full value in such a plant, will the reader dare make a rough guess as to what the limitations of loss may be? Only, the other day I stepped into a bookbindery, unostentatious in its street signs and occupying a fifth floor in an obscure street. In the elevator shaft was that peculiar odor which marks the track of fire and firemen days and weeks after such an accident "Most of the fire was next door," explained tbe proprietor, "but I guess the smoke and tbe water were about as bad for us. Sometimes it is almost better to have the fire yodrself than be next door to It." Which seemed to be especially true f book material. Where smoke and soot had failed to blot and ruin the stock, water from the engines in the street had flooded It until ruin alone was descriptive. Everything had been closed down, workers in the plant were idle, and the proprietor was awaiting the adjustment of the insurance which he had been carrying. But In the extent of this insurance itself was a knotty situation. Ordinarily the house had carried policies which would have left it the minimum of risk on its machinery, stock and materials. Ordinarily a still further blanket policy was carried for the purpose of covering the normal amount of book material on 1 hand owned by others and contracted for rebindlng. But only a few days before the fire the house had received a consignment of $5,000 worth of lawbooks to be bound. . These volumes, aside from intrinsic value, represented so much of other value as to make the risk abnormal for almost any season. And these books were ruined. Before receiving them the binder bad asked the owners to take out a policy for themselves protecting them against such fire lbss. The firm had not done so, and when the fire damage came the disposition of the owners was to hold the binder for them under one of the binder's blanket policies. On this one disputed point, taking it Into court, will some one make a guess as to what this one feature of the fire may cost the binder, who to ail purposes was "insured." if it should be settled in the supreme court after five or seven years, for example? But in the case of the big manufactory, with Us imported special machinery, its season of rush work and its enormous and fluctuating stock of materialif on the morning after the fire the assuring companies settle in full for the visible losses, how much has the company been damaged? Of first consideration, perhaps, is the enormous payroll of the concern. If most of the mechanical work of the plant has been done by pieceworkers, still the necessary force of directing employees on salary is a problem. The determination of the owners is to start up anew. Tried and proved employees must be retained while the work of rehabilitation goes on. They must be paid even if they are to do no more than wait Settlement of some kind must bo made with contractors who have been supplying raw materials from the hands of other thousands of workers. No matter what the clauses In eon ti acts providing immunity in case of fires, strikes and acts of Providence, every iine of business affecting the welfare of the manufactory has been affected. The plant is a total loss. Before it

can be rebuilt the ruins of the old fac

tory must be cleared away. In the meantime all those customers of tbe ' manufactory who haTe been pressing for the ailing of contract orders find themselves shut out of any chance for receiving them. lliey turn at once to other competing establishments for the work. Not only does tbe burned out firm lose all chance of profits from this work, but it Is running a long chance of losing some of its oldest and best customers of years standing. CJUcago Tribune. -

THE THEA TER

THEATRICAL CALENDAR. GENNETT. Thursday, Jan. 7. "East Lynne." Friday, Jan. 8. "Brown of Harvard." Saturday, Jan. 9. "A King's Rival." NEW PHILLIPS. All Week High Class Vaudeville.

"East Lynne." "East Lynne" will be presented at the Gennett theater by Joseph King's excellent company. The American public today finds greatest delight- in the drama that has a big human note, that deals with elemental passions and sorrows, and that tells a gripping vital story. It is a rare relish. You know "East Lynne" contains these elements. How often have you said "I would like to see it played by a good company."

Brown of Harvard. On Jan. 8 the Shubert Theatrical company will present Mr. James Young in Brown of Harvard, a play which is sure to repeat its successful engagement in this and other cities where it was presented last season. The chief change in revival will be in the fact that the part of Brown, played last year by Mr. Henry Woodruff, will now be assumed by Mr. James Young for whom it was originally written. Mr. Young's standing as an actor is well known to all theater-goers in Richmond through his performances as leading man with Viola Allen, Annie Russell and Mrs. Fiske. He will be supported by a cast of specially selected young men and women, all of whom are but recently out of college and still insured by the enthusiasm which helped them through school.

Tomorrow will appear our announcement of our Ladies' Muslin Garment Sale. Knollenberg's. .

"A King's Rival." Mr. John Griffith, whose splendid impersonation of Shakespeare's great

characters has delighted patrons of

the classic drama several times during the past decade, comes to the Gennett theater next Saturday matinee and evening, when local theatergoers will have an opportunity to witness his acting of a comedy character for the first time, Mr. Griffith is this season presenting "A King's Rival," a new version of the famous French comedy, "Don Caesar de Bazan." He has demonstrated his remarkable versatility, it is said, by giving as thoroughly pleasing a performance of the semi-comic character of Don Caesar as he has formerly given of the tragic roles he has acted. Miss Kdyili Totten. who bus played leading roles in various dramatic successes under the management of Charles Frohman for several years is Mr. Griffith's present leading lady and has made a notable "hit in the role

of Alaruana, the 'Gypsy street dancer.

The entire supporting company is said to be the strongest Mr. Griffith has ever had. A complete and elaborate scenic production of "A King's Rival" is promised and the performance will, it is expected, prove one of. the best of the season.

"Father and the Boys." At the Gennett theater on Jan. 14, Charles Frohman will present W. H. Crane in "Father and the Boys," the most emphatic success which the comedian has had in years, and which bids fair to outdistance in popularity even "David Harum," :f delightful memory. George Ade, celebrated for "The County Chairman,' "The College Widow" and other well-known pieces, is the author of "Father and the Boys," and he lias filled it with amusing situations and dialogue of an order to give an audience sideaches from laughter. Mr. Crane has never been more at home in a part than he is in the chief figure of Mr. Ade's play, and with Mr. Crane in his element there is no more amusinfc player on the American stage. Nor has the comedian all the fun to himself. There are many entertaining characters besides his own, and they are ably portrayed by Margaret Dale, Ivy Troutman, Isabelle Garrison, Forrest Orr. Dan Collyer, Thomas Meighan and others.

If there is any limit short of 30.000 tons for the warships of the future, it id not now in sight. And certainly there seems to be no limit in the matter of cost. A few years ago $3,000,000 was considered an extravagant amount of money to put into one haters of the Colorado and West Virginia type- have been developed, and the 20,000-ton battleship will cost at least $10,000,000. The four new battleships asked of Congress at the session are estimated to cost $500,000, exclusive of guns, armor and equipment.

The New Phillips. "Too bad, it is that I am married" cooed La Belle Estallita this afternoon as she stood in the wings at the New Phillips theater, hugging a bunch of Rea Reid roses, "Or perhaps, it is I might make some heart beat the faster." I wonder who sent them, the flowers? Ah, ah, I bet it was you." "Who? me?" gasped the pressaent," Me? Not me, .on $6.30 a month!" It is very seldom that flowers are "sent back" on a Richmond stage, but in this case it was in mere apprecia

tion of the Spanish woman's pretty work in dancing, for later a prominent married woman's card was discovered in the flower box, and the press agent reliever of further suspicion of blissful extravagance. La Estallita makes her last appearance tonight in a series of Spanish folk dances In several of which her husband will join her. The three Kobers have gained a place in the praising of those who delight in exhibitions of gymnastic work. Harry . Mack has made good in his impersonations of histh class comedians and with his little pathetic skit, Tlw Ro.se." . tomorrow afternoon will se an entirely new bill offered at the NewPhillips. ; "'

Because Muggs. an English coach dog owned by J. N. D. Reeves, objected so persistently to the sale of a horse by his master, the former owner purchased the horse, that it and the dog. which have been inseparable companions for several years, might spend the remainder of their lives as chums. When the horse was sold and the new purchaser attempted to lead the animal away, the dog held the halter with his teeth, nor would he1 release it until forced to do so by his master.
