The schedule makers of tin- B., R.

The addition of an early train out- from this place, and a later train in from DuBois, has been  desired by patrons of the B.. It. & P.

Clark, the song writer, arrived here yesterday from New York to spend the holidays at the home of his parent*, Mr. and Mrs. F\ j L. Clark. Mr. Clark reports that the pres. nt theatrical season is adml'ted to !>• the most disastrous* in years, due, partially, to the popularity of moving picture .shows At a time of mi h depression in the theatres Mr. Clark is fortunate In having: a standard composition, "Vesper H» H-. which is not affected by fluctua!ion* in the theatrical business.

CHRISTMAS SINNER FN PCOR (Continued on p.tare -three."v For the Democratic party, which he denominated as "trust buster", and the Republican party, which lie dubbed the "trust-regulator," Mr. Kennedy has nothing in common. He stated that it made little difference whether they elected good men or bad men to office. They would at til Sir worst I" grafters in a small way. What the Socialist wants, said he, Is every cent of the product of his labor. Here the speaker named over a list of ancient worthies who had been squelched by the guillotine, sabre or what not. Mr. Kennedy, however, may not have noticed the temperature, as h<" ♦rot riirht down to brass tacks and ken' it un for over an hour, not even allowing time for bis* business agent to ills*nose of any of the Socialistic literature that was spread over a desk back of thef audience. Mr. Kennedy looko i wurrn himself, and if he had made it as warm for thp daneine class a« be did for the "capitalistic" class there would not have been any grumbling on th:j t score. M \ Kennedy is in favor of ellmlnmating the capitalist from <»ur sociai structure. How rapidly he would 'ewe It done was indicated by him I when he naming certain "malej factors of great wealth," that if thev should all tret aboard a blpr boat and s ill for Kurope and if the boat, when about (100 miles off the Sandy Hook lighthouse, should go to the bottom with all on board they (the M. of O. \Y.) neve* would be missed. Ah h a consummation couWl probably, not be consummated, the speaker let drop the hint that the trust magnates and capitalists should be effaced like unto certain tyran's of tiie past ages. Thi- youngsters. they who had come to do the Highland Fliag. and not to h»»nr the "welkin ring." did their br*t »o aret Interested in what Mr. Kennedy \va* vivinir. and thev mleht have been successful but for the fact that a current of cold air somehow found »ts way into the hall and gave the aroeeedine"« a chill aspect. " A few waltzes and two-steps would have come in handy as chill-breakers, and the young men in the audience said it was a shame for that man to kern ♦hem sitting there freezing. The girls did not say the same thing, but they looked it. n men, five wo* ni'-n, ten girls and 11 boys who heard anj considerable portion of the addtvss 11i-t last night was given in Zeitler's Dance Hall by Thomas F.

Of the eleven boys and ten girls present during the fore part of the • veiling, all of the former and most of the latter belonged to a dancing class that looked upon the proceedings with anything but ecmaninlmity at first, but later permitted themselves to become a nart «»f the aud'enee that huddled around the man on the platform.

The full narratives of Captain Loose and Mr. Dunkle constitute one of the mot facinating chapter in all the literature of imposture. Captain Loose, it will be scon, frankly expresses his scorn of Doctor Cook's claims, laughs at his ignorance of the simplest essentials for accurate observations in the Arctic regions, and describes at length how, working backward frroJ/N the pole, he calculated observations that would fit ni with Cook's narrative, and coached him on the necessary modifications of the latter—as, for example, that he must be sure to record that he rose before 4:15 o'clock on a morning, because it was at that time a certain star, mentioned In one of Loose's calculations, would be visible. Mr. Dunkle describes the inception of the enterprise; how from the newspapers they gathpapers they gathered that Doctor Cook was in deep water, and inferred that he would be glad to pay fo. help; how Dunkle got John R. liiaJley, Cook's backer, to introduce him; l)ow the subject was led up to delicately and the bargain finally struck and carried out, and how, at last, Doctor Cook disappeared, after accepting their work and paying only 1260 for it.
