"Kilties” Matinee and Tonight.
The Kilties made their annual ap-
pearance last night at the Crawford
and were greeted by a very enthusias-
tic audience, who showed their ap-
preciation by their frequent applause.
Every number was encored and it was
the general opinion that the band this
season is stronger than ever.
The big feature this season is the
dancing of Fraser’s Highlanders, and
the bagpipers also came in for their
share of applause.
The band will give two concerts to-
day, one this afternoon at 2:30, and
tonight at 8:30. The Kilties will also
make a parade this morning at 10
o’clock. The prices for the matinee
this afternoon will be 50 cents to any
part of the house, and children will
be half price.

Unas in a night by the employment
.of a myriad of men, when the running
of the factory at full capacity means
tor the laborer sharp work and high
wages for a short time, labor must be
mobile. The flow of labor, therefore,
is responsive to the” flow of capital.
When this centers in Wall street, as
has been the case in the past few
weeks, it is correspondingly drawn off
from the country, and so a relapse In
industry results. This is followed by
a cutdown in force, and the efflux of
the unemployed alien becomes the last
expression of the condition.—Balti-

Acres Added in Southern
California.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 24.—The
president haB just signed a proclama-
tion creating two additions aggregat-
ing 78,000 acres to the San Gabriel
national forest in Southern California.
The additions consist of lands lying
on the slopes and foothills of thefSan
Gabriel mountains and protesting the
stream flowing into territory known
as the San Gabriel watershed on
which Pasadena, Pomona, San Ber-
nardino and a number of smaller
towns are dependent for a water sup-
ply.
These additions will bring the total
area of the San Gabriel national for-
est up to 633,295 acres.
A Helping Hand.
When the foreign missionary had
concluded his talk, he made the usual
appeal for contributions, however
small. Coming up to the platform
with several others, a small boy
mounted to the level of the lecturer
and hastening toward him, said:
"Please, sir, 1 was very much inter-
ested in your lecture, and—and—’’
“Go on. my little man,” said the
missionary encouragingly. “You want
to help in the good work?”
“Not exactly, sir,” said the boy.
"What I want* to know is, have you
any foreign stamps you don’t want?”

State of Toxae—Graatar Part' of
Work Done Before Financial Strin-
gency.
Chicago, Dec. 24.—According to sta-
tistics compiled by the Railway Age,
railroad construction in the United
States has been nearly as heavy in
1907 as in 1906, which was the heaviest
year since 1888. The total number of
miles of new track laid this year has
been 5.547, of which 42 miles were in
Louisiana, 341 In Florida, 385 in South
Dakota; 314 in Texas and 311 in Wash-
ington. In Canada during the same
period 782 miles were built and 349
in Mexico.
The greater part of the new track
was laid before the financial strin-
gency, only a small amount of mileage
being constructed after September.
The orders for freight and passen-
ger cars and locomotives in 1907 were
smaller than at any time during the
last seven years. Tte volume of or*
of i
ders for this part of railroad equip-
ment was about 55 per cent of the
total of 1905 and 1906-
The year has been notable for the
increase in the number of block sig-
nals Installed, the increase having
been 3,721 for the twelve months end-
ing December 31.

Dude vt. Gent.
A St. Louis gentleman who usually
wears clothing about as good aB the
tailors of the city can provide, had
occasion a few evenings ago to vlBit
the neighborhood of Victor and Eight-
eenth streets. After seeing the gen-
tleman with whom he had business
ho departed and walked towards the
corner, where he knew the Bellefon-
taine cars turned out of Victor streot
and went north on Eighteenth street.
A block from Eighteenth street he
noticed standing on the comer a group
of idle fellows, whom he recognized
at a glance as youthful toughs, ready
for any adventure that might happen
along in their neighborhoo.
The hour was late, he was not look-
ing for trouble, and did not care to be
delayed or annoyed, as he feared he
would be, for as he passed under the
light of a street lamp he heard one
of the gang say: “Get on to the dude,”
and Realized that he was the object of
attention of the entire party.
Walking briskly up to the young
loafers who, after the manner of their
kind, were backed in line against the
wall of the corner house, he lifted his
hat politely and spoke in his most en-
gaging tones: “I beg your pardon,
gentlemen, for interrupting you, but
will any of you be good enough to tell
me where I can take a Bellefontatne
car?”
The young toughs were thrown com-
pletely off their guard. Four or five at
the same moment raised their hands to
point in the proper direction, and as
many voices answered:. "Right there,
at the next comer, sir.”
"Allow me to thank you very heart-
ily,” said the gentleman, as he again
lifted his hat in farewell. Several of
the hats and caps of the young toughs
were tipped in response to the cour-
tesy, and as the gentleman moved off
In the direction Indicated he overheard
a final remark by one to another:

Jacobs Creek, Pa., Dec. 24.—Res-
cuers today found a great mass of
victims of last Thursday’s explosion
in the Darr mine of the Pittsburg Coal
company, for which they have search-
ed Incessantly for over five days, and
if all goes well a great number of
them will be either in the blacksmith
shop morgue or the big identification
tent nearby by morning.
Only 49 bodies had been brought to
the surface when the night force be-
gan work, but scores of others had
been located in entry 27 and there
was evidence that many more were in
entry 27 and entry 29, where the night
work started.
The mine was in much better con-
dition today, and the progress of the
rescuers was satisfactory in every re-
spect. It Is believed most of the vic-
tims will have been brought out by
tomorrow evening.
Eight unidentified bodies were
buried today. All clothing, checks
and other means of identification
were preserved, and If relatives ap-
pear the bodies will be disinterred-
Twelve of the identified were buried
at Connellsville.

Amateur Athletic Union Looking Into
Charges.
New York, Dec. 24.—An investiga-
tion of Ralph Rose’s standing as an
amateur has been begun by the Ama-
teur Athletic union. An interview
with President D. Starr Jordan of
Stanford university, in which the
champion shot-putter, who broke eight
records in one day at Traverse Island
at the outdoor championships in Sep-
tember. was charged with profession-
alism, has aroused President James
E. Sullivan of the A. A. U.
Today President Sullivan sent a let-
ter to S S. Peixotto, the president of
the Pacific association of the A. A. U.,
urging the Western official to call upon
President Jordan and gather evidence.
The cancellation of Rose's registration
card with the controlling body in ama-
teur athletics is recommended by the
head of the A. A. U., in the event of
President Jordan substantiating the
charges he has made againBt Rose.

weighed twenty-three and one-hair
pounds, and measured forty inches
round. Our section is Famed for big

of its species.”
