BREED THEATER. @radicating Aunty, Screaming . gnph Comody Hit. “ In kesping with the general desire for plctures that are thoroughly clean, clear and of a high standard of excel- lence, Manager McNulty has selected for this week an unusually attractive and varied bill. The wonderful picture of The Soms Return is as strangely fascinating as it is weird in its con- «ception. ‘he wonderful and -thrilling situitions make a most insistent de- miand for the liberal applause that it neuvn. In the comedy fleld Eradicat- ing "Aunty, a most pronounced ' Bio- h hit, is the drawing card for the t part of the week, the convulsing and absurd predicaments being so-clev- ovly handled that the result camnot be other than successful. Many other fine feature picttires are also t{own. including . educational as ‘well ‘as ‘sensational. What is proving to be a most de- tful treat for the patrons of tho reed theater is the splendid singing of Miss Grace Alwin, whose rich and ully’ cultivated voice is used with excellent results in the numbers dbtted to her. Her concert song is a mol & sentimental nature, being en- Roses Brings Dreams of You, ug.-he sings later in the perrormlnca 't Find Another Girl Like You, a distinctly pretty and up to date song, which is accompanied by a set of hand- l’fl slides. LINCOLN PARK, Vnud-vlll. at Rustic Theater. The warm wave Tuesday got out &e crowd for Lincoln park. The rus- theater was fliled afternoon. and #vening and the dancing pavilion did a fousing business in the evening.

The attractive plctures, combined with \h codlness” of the theater, have at- ted large audiences to the Roderick !fiute‘r in spite ‘of the heat ‘of the last two days. Faminé in the Forest, a Mreng western drama by the Biograph pany, makes a big hit. A Poor /ife’s Dévotion, a very pathetic. drama “southern life, is a very close sécond, End received great applause.

DIED AT THE AGE OF ‘Ht Colored Woman in Nashville, Tenn., « 177 Left a Child 80 Years old. Nl.hvllle Penn., July 27.—Dilla Kil- lebrew, colored, aged M6, is dead at her home near Needmore, this &tate. She. leaves (wo children. one of. Whom :nao years old. © :Dilla was bora a g:uth Farms, to accept a call to Troy,’ was- tal ‘Demiand for More Liberal Sunday. 's"m‘“" g . i Al Sediast |3 tion rsons in called “Latimer Sunday bill” Be d nox think that any one man ould be held responsible for the bill. i is the unanimous report of the )udie.hry committee, consisting of eleven men of ordinary intelligence at least. He did not think thnt most of the petitioners against bill had ever read it. The public" |mmt man- ifested for a change in the law is much greater than it was two years ago. There is a general demand for a more liberal Sunday law. There'is a sentiment in favor of a change without letting down the bars for what is known as the continental Sunday. Senator Fenn's Position, Senator Fenn said the bill is intend- ed to legalize baseball playing on Sun- day. The bill does-not declare baseball per se a breach of the peace. He would voie against the bill Senator Hurley said that Sunday was the only ‘day the people had to have outdoor recreation, Senator Peck Opposed Bill. Senator Peck said the argument of Senator Latimer was an able one, but it did not convince him to vote for the bill. He had recelved a petition’ from his constitnents against the bill and he believed every signer of the peti- tion had full knowledge of the purport of the bill. ‘He, wu opposed to. the bill. Better 'I'hm Loitering. Senator Hurley said it was better to have-men and boys attending a game of baseball’ on- Sunday than loitering on the streets, ‘A’ Sociclogical Question. Senator Luther - while opposed to the bill, said he recognized the fact that it was an attempt to improve the pres- ent conditions.- Facts will not bear out the statement that people have no time for baseball except.on Sunday. The question. of Sunday observance is a complicated one. Every one of us does something on Sunday which is just as objectionable as what we consider vio- latigns of the Sunday laws The Sun- day quéstion must be readjusted. It is not a religious question. It is a so- ciological question. There must be work on Sunday. He would cheerfully vote for a bill that limited work to six days in the week. A majority of the names on-a petition which he had re- ceived asking him to vote against the bill were foreign. It is a spirit of gain and a greedy spirit of gain which is back-of the bill. He liked the defimi- tion of Sunday in the bill. It is desira- ble that all boys should play ball, but not on ‘Sundays. Senator Searls in Favor. Senator Searls said he favored the bill. . He was brought up in the strict- est Puritanical way. His recreation on Sunday -when he was a boy was the reading ‘0f the Bible or a religious book. ~The conditions which existed in the state in his boyhood and now are different.” They believed in religious freedom for themselves but not for others, ‘The individual had no' right which 'the church to which he be- |] longed: was bound to respect. A dead church ¢cannot do good to any soul The ‘church is on trial today by the men who ask for more personal liberty. The bill recognizes the human con- science. - Any bill that is just must recognize individual liberty, The_bili al freedom with the is in the line of indivi where it does not interfe rights of - others. An Amendmen Senator Chase said he had changed | his opinion in regard to the bill. He now favored it. He, however, offered an amendment to restrict the time for playing games of sport on Sunday af- ternoon, B The amendment Was rejected by a vote of 9 to 16. : Senator Higgins in Opposition. Senator: Latimer said the bill is wholly - a- benevolent and remedial measure, Senator Hurley repeated that he hoped .the senate would not deny the right of the people to see sports on Sunday. * Senator Silliman opposed the bill. Senator. Higgins spoke in oiposiuon to the bill. In this country the trend is towards the violation of the Sundays. They should pay attention . to the Biblical command. Bill Declared Rejected. ' An aye and nay vote was taken, re- sulting’ as follows: for the bill 12, against 15, absent or not voting 8. HOME GARMENT MAKING. Yhe Bulletin's Pattern Service.
