Tlic Funiikvt Comic ()|H>ra That PtWx'y Tliculcr <*oers liver Saw Tonight at the Jefferson theatre that show of all shows, "The Red i Mill," the last booked for the season, will hold the boards. Those who failed to see this production on its appearance here two years ago, will be sure to turn out again tonight, while those who were so unfortunate as to miss it. can't have to fail tonight. Without chance for doubt. "Tht Red (Mill" is the funniest musical show that has ever visited Punxsutawney. The music is tuneful, the dialogue bright, the dances pretty, and if the standard is k< pt up, the chorus pretty. There are 5 0 members in the cam pany headed by Messrs Crawley and 'Moore, whose reputation is hardly less than that of Montgomery and Stone. With the company are the Dutch Kiddies; a half a dozen little tots who dance and sing and participate in practically all the chorus drills. The boxing dance, the slid down the ladder, the Italian organ grinder and a half dozen other features ar • worth every cent of whatever sum you choose to pay for your seut. Possibly no other show that has appeared in Punxsutawney gave such satisfaction as did "The Red Mil!." and for that reason it has been mucn talked about. The seat sale opened yesterday and the .advance sal Is fnr the best of the season. It is barely possible that the S. R. O. sign will be out tonight. The iron nerve of Mr?5.

The mpptliiff was nttendid by Keystone party atJIi rtnts from al] over the county, fifty being in attendance from Punxsutawney. "Ft was easy enough," said Ely, as he stepped from his seat after his return and was seized by the cheering soldiers of the Thirtieth Infantry, and hoisted on their shoulders. "I think the trick could be successfully turned nine times out of ten." The feat was accomplished without mishap. Not a wire or bolt *"»f the biplane was injured. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19.—Eugene B.

'it was a success with a capital "S." T/fvere were about one hundred and tWenty-Klve couples in attendance and Innumerable extra ladies, bringing the receipts to the eighty dollar maik. yhe big surprise of the evening »'as th i/ music. Blose's orchestra of seven pifk'es furnished the music and to say thtat it was first class in every respect Is, putting it too mildly. Although the oi chestra has been organized for some ti Tie it has played in public on few I < icasions and there were those who fe ared that their product might not b« • up to the standard. That fear was u; ilckly dispelled after the first selection. The time was perfect both for j the two steps and the waltzes. They played only the latest tow-step and waltz hits and the big crowd gave evidence of their appreciation by prolonged applause after each selection. The organization worked like beavers throughout the night and the dancers had but little timdT to rest. From i until 1 o'clock the/dancers kept going and the majority- of the nearly three hundred people Avho were in attendance were on Ijftind for the home waltz. In addition to furnishing music to which there tfould have been no Improvement, the leader of the orchestra C. I !W. Blosc, generously donated to thi* cause half the sum charged. it wLuld seem to the iayjnan that an orchestra that can pla.v'as can the <Blose orchestra and who /h addition has Its sweak of charity to the exffcnt as has thart same orchestra, is •worthy of of the townspeop|. The organization made a big bid night and should not ~njfchv ?W,ture lack lor all they can do /fn tff»A > of furnishing music for [/anything and everything. To the untiring energy, ingenuity and perseverance of Hap Modica the success of last night's dance was due. It was at his suggestion the dance was held and it was his determination that carried it through to a glorious success. That the very best of order prevailed and that there was not one single unpleasant incident during the night was likewise due to Mr. Modica. If last night's dance was a criterion, 'Mr. "Modica's weekly dances must be indeed enjoyable affairs. Of the three hundred in attendance ft large number were out-of-town peof'ple./ After all expenses had been paid i the receipts showed a balance of $55. (i To those who gave their aid to the I success of the affair by their attendl since and those who otherwise helped. . especially Miss Polly Neal, The Spirit tenders sincere thanks on the behalf of young Wooldridgs.

But without evidence against a house they cannot be expected to refuse its telephone call for a boy. 'Moreover, many calls which take a boy eventually to a house of prostitution arc calls from a hot I from which a man wishes a note carried to such a "house. "Convinced by the unprintable evidence of investigators showing the fearful temptations to which night messengers are subjected, the New York legislature, in 1010. forbade messenger work at night up to the age of 21. The evidence was shown in advance to the officials of the two chief messenger companies and they offered no opposition to the change." "That law is now in force in New York <'ity and is being; observed by both companies. The night messenger boy is a messenger man. \W believe that Pennsylvania's boys need this same protection and our bill, therefore, follows exactly the New York law." "The demoralizing character of this service at night has been investigated in thirty cities in eight different states, and shows the same features in practically all. In .Pennsylvania Philadelphia. Pittsburg and Seranton have been studied—the three first and second .class cities to wnich the proposed bill applies. "The companies cannot hi' held responsible for what these young boys see and ihenr. No night work in factories unless the boy is 1»; years old. Arno I*. Mowitz of Philadelphia has been engaged to represent the Clfjld Labor association in Harrisburg and the publicity campaign for the bills will be carried on by Mr Hall from Philadelphia and by IMr. W. W Keller, the assistant secretary «>t this association. located at Pittsburg. Mr. Hall spoke chiefly yesterday in regard to the seemingly radical proposal that no 'boy under 21 should be allowed to be a messenger at night. He said in part. "As long as districts of ill-fame exist in oar larger cities, the least we can do is to exclude boys from the night work which is almost sure to carry them there. "The demand for messengers during the hours of the night is chiefly the demand of the under world. Hoys by the score describe with the most circumstantial detail the sights and sounds in the houses of ill-repute to which they are called. Others whose 'home influence was strong enough to hold them straight, even under this severe strain, and who are now grown to manhood, confirm practically all that the boys have told. "In houses of the better class the boy goes little farther than the doom but in others his errand ends only at the room of the dissolute woman herself.Special to The Spirit P'lMUVrxiOM'IMA.
