FORD’S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Week October sth.—The favorite Irish
Comedian Chauncey Olcott, under the
management of Henry Miller, in his lat
est comedy hit,
“THE HEART OF PADDY WHACK,”
by Rachel Crothers.
The annual engagement this season of
the popular Irish comedian and singer
Chauncey Olcott, week of October sth,
will be even eventful in the production
of a new and delightful play, “The Heart
of Paddy Whack,” by Rachel Crothers,
who is responsible for the notable suc
cesses “A Man’s World”, “The Three of
Us” and “Young Wisdom.”
Mr. Olcott is under the management
of Henry Miller, who believes his latest
play one of the best in Mr. Olcott’s ca
reer. It is filled with Irish sentiment,
sparkles with wit and romantic episodes
with an interesting characterization.
The story is the romance of an elderly
Irish Barrister who finds himself falling
in love with his beautiful young ward.
In it Mr. Olcott is so appealing and ten
der that its development is said to be
delightful.
The scenes are laid in old Ireland about
1830, and its color and air of romance
promise much both in production and
costuming.
The company supporting this popular
star has been selected with the usual
care of his manager and the stage equip
ment will be exceptionally attractive.

Bombs Fell Near Nuremberg
Rev. Harry W. Wissler Tells
of French Aeroplane Over City.
Explosives Intended for Bridge.
After having been detained in Germany
for more than six weeks where they pass
ed through the experience of having a
French aeroplane drop bombs one Sun
day, Rev. and Mrs. Harry Wissler re
turned safely after an absence of fifteen
months in Europe and are now spending
some time with Mrs. C. A. Wissler,
mother of Reverend Wissler.
He gives an interesting account of his
enforced sojourn in different cities; tells
of how the French machine dropped
bombs and then escaped, all to the sur
prise of the Germans. The bomb above
referred to went wide of its mark and
little damage was done. He says, “the
constant fear of being blown up by a
oomb at any hour of the night or day
was not very pleasant.”
One afternoon as they were seated in
their room talking with a German cor
poral, a stone was thrown in their open
vvindow. Had either of them been seat
ed close to that window the result
night have been serious. Where this
stone came from is still a matter of con
jecture. Rev. Wissler says there is evi
dence that it came out of the sky, as
persons on the street at that time declar
ed that no one saw it thrown. The stone
is now among the curios and relics ob
tained by Rev. and Mrs. Wissler.
A friend of Mrs. Wissler had a narrow
escape from a bullet in a hotel at Nurem
oerg the day after war was declared.
She had been making her toilet that
morning before a large mirror, when she
Happened to step into an adjoining room.
Just then a bullet came crashing through
cite window and broke the mirror into'
small pieces. The friend was so much
tlarmed that she refused to remain in
ne city.
Rev. Wissler says, “it was a very sad
,ight to see the long trains loaded with
soldiers, horses and wagons being rush
'd to the front. Some trains had huge
■iege guns attached to their rear. Ma
iy of the cities had large crowds of ex
iled persons on the streets. Thousands
>f shops and factories had closed and
persons were eager for war news.
“The women are busy knitting stock
ings for the soldiers, and could be seen
working along the streets and alleys.”
The ship on which they sailed from
Rotterdam, Holland, took an extreme
northerly route and had a narrow escape
from colliding with icebergs. Three
were seen by the passengers. One of
these was very large, and with the sun
shining against it, made a most beautiful
picture and was the admiration of many
passengers who had never before seen an
iceberg.
The Reverend greatly deplores the aw
ful war now raging throughout Europe,
but thinks it will be the crushing blow
to militarism. He says, “every man,
woman and child in the world is suffering
either directly or indirectly from the ef
fect of this war. Two centuries can not
repair the loss already sustained, and
eternity can never forgive the crime that
has been committed against millions of
men who did not care to fight, but who
prayed to be left alone in their pursuit
of peace and happiness.”
Fighting Nineteen Days.
Losses On Both Sides Very
Heavy, The Berman Army
(jrudually Falling Back.
The terrific battle now raging between
the German troops and French and allied
forces in the Aisne district to the north
of Paris has been going on for nineteen
days, but its violence is generally held
to portend a decisive result in the near
future. This is the report given out by
late press dispatches. These reports
also state that “furious hand-to-hand
fighting is going on and the losses to both
armies are colossal. Even the official re
ports contain a gruesome picture of thou
sands of dead and wounded lying in the
fire-swept zone between the two armies,
and every fresh assault is adding to the
ghastly litter.
“Statements issued by the French War
Department say that several times the
Germans hurled their masses of troops
against the French left wing, but in each
case they were repulsed.
“In the center, it is said, a heavy can
nonading is going on, while between the
Argonne forest and the river Meuse the
allies have made some progress.
“The German General staff claims the
situation on French soil has not changed.
Fighting to the east between the Ger
man, Russian and Austrian armies con
tinues. Late reports state that Galicia
has been almost cleared of Austrians by
Russian forces, the latterhaving crossed
the Carpathian mountains, and have en
tered Hungary at several points and are
driving back the Austrian forces sent
against them. It is officially admitted
that the Russians have secured a good
foothold on Hungarian soil.
The activity of the Zeppelin dirigibles
stretches over a wide area. Six bombs
were hurled last Tuesday against two
Belgian towns, and another at a town
across the Russian frontier.
The Japanese are drawing closer about
the German territory of Kiau-Chau, in
the Chinese province of Shantung.
Dispatches from London Wednesday
morning state that the right wing of the
German army has been broken and that
the Germans are being pursued by the
Allies, this defeat ending the nineteen
days battle on the Aisne. The report
was not given out officially, however.

Narrow Escape From Se
rious Injury.
Wheel Drops From Axle of
Carriage.
Last Sunday afternoon Elder John S.
Weybright, in order that his wife might
have a drive through the country, hitched
his dark bay driving horse to his carriage
and with Mrs. Weybright, and daughter
Ruth and Miss Edith Spielman, started
up the State Road toward Emmitsburg v
On coming to a road leading to Apple’s
church, Miss Ruth, who was driving,
turned onto this road, and the journey
continued to Mr. Harry Simmers’ farm
near Apples church, and then the horse
was turned towards home. When oppo
site Mr. Simmers’ residence, the right
hind wheel dropped off the axle. The
horse frightened but was brought under
control after the carriage had been
bumped over the rough road about fif
teen feet.
Mr. WeybHght and the ladies got out
of the carriage and a search was made
for the tap which keeps the wheel on the
axle. The tap was not found, however,
and the wheel was again placed on the
axle and in away fixed so it could not
leave it. Thinking everything safe to
continue home, all got into the vehicle.
After going a short distance, one of the
fenders rubbed against a wheel. Mr.
Weybright got out and going to the left
side of the buggy, found that the left
hind wheel was almost off of the axle.
No search, at thii time, was made for
this tap, but the wheel was pushed on
and with all in the carriage the trip was
made safely home.
Mrs. Weybright, who a short time ago
underwent an operation at the hospital,
was considerably shaken up and unnerved
by the experience. The carriage was
considerably damaged, the bolts holding
the body to the front running gear being
broken and the fenders bent out of shape.
Evidently both taps were purposely
removed by someone. The carriage had
lot been used since the previous Sunday,
and it is not known how long the taps
were missing. On account of Mrs. Wey
bright the horse was not driven out of a
walk, and owing to this the occupants of
the carriage probably escaped serious
injury.
Creagerstown Letter.
We are proud to see that our citizens
who lost their houses by conflagration on
June 2nd, 1914, are not discouraged, but
have decided to rebuild, and far more
beautiful house? than those destroyed.
This will add much to the appearance of
this town. Mr. B. F. Bell’s house is
nearing completion, and is a very stylish
and convenient cottage. It is being built
by contractor Geo. Geesey of Mountain
Dale. Mr. Lewis E. Miller’s house is
being rapidly completed by contractors
Holland and Wastler of near Thurmont.
C. H. Valentine’s hotel, which will be a
handsome three-story brick building, is
being hurried to completion by contractor
Harrison Mortof Woodsboro. Mr. George
Stevens will begin work upon his founda
tion upon which he will build a very fine
brick dwelling. Others are getting into
action and we hope soon to have a town
once again; but much prettier and more
up to date.
Miss Delila V. Hann is spending the
week in Baltimore, buying her line of
fall and winter millinary and ladies’ fur
nishings. She will continue to supply
her trade at her present abode, owing to
her Milliner Parlor having burned on
June 2nd. A complete line will be car
ried and the opening days will be Octo
ber Bth and 9th.
The Imperial Orchestra is rehearsing
regularly every week and will have quite
a number of the latest dances for the
coming season.

Last week Mr. Howard Creeger put in
operation a new hydraulic cider mill and
press at this place. Many people of this
community are finding this mill very
convenient. The mill is located on the
site of the old Excelsior mill.
What W'ould You Do?
There are many times when one man
questions another’s actions and motives.
Men act differently under different cir
cumstances. The question is, what would
you do right now if you had a severe
cold? Could you do better than to take
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy? It is
highly cecommended by people who have
used it for years and know its value.
Mrs. 0. E. Sargent, Peru, Ind., says,
“Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is worth
its weight in gold and I take pleasure in
recommending it.” For sale by all
dealers.

Farm House Burned.
Blaze Discovered Too Late To
Save Structure.
During Monday forenoon, fire was dis
covered making fierce headway on the
upper portion of the house situated on
Mr. Wm. Stoner’s farm about a mile
north of Graceham.
The farm is tenanted by Mr. Curtis
Stambaugh. His sister and several small
children were about the house as usual
and discovered the fire. It is supposed
the building caught from sparks from
the chimney.
Mr. Stambaugh and neighbors who as
sembled succeeded in getting the greater
portion of the furniture from the build
ing, a brick wall dividing the house help
ing to a great degree in keeping the
flames from reaching his personal effects.
A portion of the building was brick and
a portion log weatherboarded.
On this same farm last March the wind
blew down the barn and killed and in
jured several cows and horses for Mr.
Stambaugh. The loss to both Mr. Sto
ner and Mr. Stambaugh has been par
ticularly heavy during the past summer.
Some insurance was carried by these
gentlemen, but not sufficient to coyer
their losses.
To many the property is known as the
“Black’s Mill” farm along Owen’screek.
Toned T T p Whole System.
“Chamberlain’s Tablets have done
more for me than I ever dared hope
for,” writes Mrs. Esther Mae Baker,
Spencerport, N. Y. “I used several
bottles of these tablets a few months
ago. They not only cured me of bilious
attacks, sick headaches and that tired
out feeling, but toned up my whole sys
tem.” For sale by all dealers.
