ANOTHER FUNERAL SHiMSJN PORT (National News Association) HALIFAX. N. S., May 6. With her flags at half mast as indicative of her mourning mission, the cable ship Minia which succeeded the Mackay-Ben-nett n the search for bodies of the Titanic disaster victims off the New

foundland grand banks arrived in port today with 15 corpses on board. Seventeen bodies in all had been picked up by the Mlnla but of these two were buried at sea. Among the bodies on board the ship

was that of Chas. M. Hays, late president of the Grand Trunk Ry., who lost his life In the disaster. The Minia landed at the same dock used by the Mackay-Bennett when she brought her j burden of 190 corpses Into port. The coming of the Minia, which had been announced in advance by wireless, occasioned little excitement and only f a handful of persons were at the dock ' to welcome her. Half a dozen hearses and ambulances were drawn up in line at the pier iwhen the ship was warped in and no time was lost in feting the bodies i off the vessel and on their way to the

morgue in Mayflower curling rink, j There was heavy police guard about 'the pier. Encounters Storms. Captain DeCarteret of the cable ship , reported encountering heavy weather. He said this would render more difficult any attempts at rescue of corp-

ture. He further reported seeing great quantities of ice. Stevedores worked all night at getting the government ship Montmagny ready to sail this afternoon to continue , the work, of hunting bodies. Despite 1 the information from Capt, DeCarteret 'that -the work of rescuing of further corpses is next to hopeless, the White 1 Star company decided to make another effort. The Montmagny was the : only seagoing vessel available. The government steamer is expected to make a search along the edge of the gulf stream, covering before her return, an area of 100 square miles. The Minia arrived off this port early this morning, but made the final stages of the journey very slowly. The captain said.he got into wireless communication with every vessel within range asking whether or not they had sighted floating corpses. If the answer was in the affirmative the location was asked. The last two bodies picked up by the Minia was' 45 miles . apart. The burial litany over the remains of the two dead buried at sea Vead by the Rev. R, Cunningham, pastor of St. George's Episcopal church.

LARGE AUDIENCE SEES ENTERTAINMENT

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. One of the most brilliant and successful entertainments ever given in this city was that in the Gennett on Saturday evening under the auspices of St. Paul's Guild of St. Paul's Episcopal church, the theatre being crowded with the representative people of the town. Mrs. Guy McCabe, a former resident of Richmond and conspicuous in Bocial and musical affairs, appealed in a series of child impersonations which she presented with professional eclat. Nothing is harder to accomplish convincingly in theatrics, cither by a professional or an amateur, than the imitation of childhood. The spirit of children is as elusive as it is illusive. The chasm between immaturity and maturity is wide and deep. Few there are who can either fathom or span it. Paradoxically enough those who are

sometimes nearest its dividing line i can the least understand the charm, the extent or the subtleties which make the territory of the immature a land of extravagant and entrancing delight. To successfully depict this, the

grownup must be possessed of the spirit of childhood that evanescent but ever recurring manifestation that makes all children adorable.

Mrs. McCabe possesses this spirit

and her impersonations are, therefore, invested with a charm that is inherent in all those who dwell in the land of extreme youth. She did not give the

impression of imitation. But of the thing itself. It was the little boy or girl. Not Mrs. McCabe pretending.

It is interesting to know that Mrs.

McCabe wrote several of the mono

logues accompanying each appearance

herself "The Little Girl at Church,"

I've et a worm" and "My New Hat,"

omitting two others, "Kate" and "My

Little Puppies," which she sometimes includes, on account of the length of

the program. And that Mr. McCabe wrote the words and melody of "Hitch

ing," Miss Lucile Nusbaum of this city

writing the accompaniment.

Mrs. Johnson's piano accompani

ments to Mrs. McCabe's readings were thoroughly artistic and modified to the presentation.

Miss Elizabeth Kolp delfghted the audience with; her appearance in a Turkish dance, the setting for which was of gorgeous character, her assistants, Miss Elizabeth Schrieber, Miss

Marjorie Thomas, Miss Mary Canby, Miss Helen Buckley, Miss Ruby Crowell, and Howard Messick, Willard Stevens and Peter Lichtenfels who merely posed in pantomime, making up the personnel for a Turkish interior, all effectively costumed in character. The hangings were much admired and were hand made, imported oriental fabrics which are the property of Mrs. Gertrude Kolp under whose charge this dance was presented and arranged. Miss Kolp is a charming solo dancer, her youth and grace lending themselves alluringly to the posturing and intricacies of an interpretative dance, her exquisite costume accentuating her terpsichorean art. Miss Kolp has been a favorite in amateur entertainments of this character but very few persons expected

a performance of the professional eclat and authority which she gave on Saturday night and that it was appreciated heartily was indicated by the

applause and recall which it elicited. Mrs. Harry Doan charmed the audience with two Italian songs in costume, Mrs. Doan's rich contralto being especially effective in her programmed number "Italian Serenade," to which she responded in an overwhelming encore. Mrs. Doan has a voice of fine quality and operatic range and her

appearance was one of the successes of the evening. Miss Ruth Yeo, a youthful musician who Is attracting much attention by the excellence of fier piano playing, and who secured and arranged the orchestral numbers for the evening, gave great pleasure with her presentation of a Liszt composition. Miss Yeo displaying astonishing technical pro

ficiency and poetry of interpretation. For an encore she played a well known melody with much appeal. In the clog dance, given by Miss Ruby Crdwell, Mi. Ralph Snaveley. Miss Kolp, Mr. Willard Stevens, Mr. Peter Lichtenfels and Mr. Benton Barlow, professional vaudevillians were run a hard second, this dance being given with intelligent appreciation of its possibilities and its humours. Miss Kolp being greeted enthusiastically upon her appearance and the whole performance calling out one of the warmest responses of the, evening. The orchestral numbers, members

of the Gennett and high school orchestra generously giving thel musical services, were enjoyable both in the regular program and in the entr'acte. Too much appreciation cannot be accorded those who arranged this enjoyable entertainment, Mrs. McCabe, as before stated, coming down from Chicago especially to give her impersona

tions for the benefit of the church of which she is a member, and Mrs. Kolp devoting much time to arranging the dances for the same reason, neither receiving any monetery consideration for their artistic services. Many flowers were handed over the footlights to the various performers and the whole affair was a social and artistic success.

TO BE . KNOWN SOON The Result of the Jackson Twp. Liquor Fight. The result of the tug-of-war which is

being engaged in by the "wets' and

"drys" of Jackson township will be known the latter part of this month. From reports it is gathered that the majority of the business men in Cambridge City, which is the principal town in the township, want the return of the saloons and that they are leagued with the wet element. How. ever, some of the business men believe that the return of the saloons would be a detriment to the town and therefore are listed among the remonstrate ors. Up to today the "drys" lacked eigh

ty signatures to their remonstrance, if they expect the county commission

ers to refuse the application of Roy Fraunberg for a licence. Previously it was necessary for the "drys" to have 624 but at the last election the vote dropped off and the difference in the last vote from the previous election reduced the number of remonstrators necessary to 527. In case Fraunberg, who is the leader of the wets in the fight, is successful it is probable that three other licenses will be granted In Cambridge City alone, as by the last census the population was 2,200. Dublin will be entitled to one saloon and East German town to one saloon in case the township goes "wet."

A DELIVERY HORSE SHOWS REAL SPEED Becoming frightened at a train pulling out of the Pennsylvania station a horse hitched to the grocery wagon of the Bowing Brothers grocery company, was standing In front of the Grubbs wholesale house, on North
