WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2ND,
David Higgins in
“HIS LAST DOLLAR.”
"His Last Dollar,” the celebrated
racing play, and perhaps one of the best
dramas of the turf ever produced in
America, with its original star, David
Higgins, has been reproduced on the
screen in a four-part film version by the
Famous Players Film Co. The drama
was written by David Higgins and Bald
win G. Cooke, and tells of a jockey who
amasses wealth, becomes a power in
Wall street, and is betrayed by his fian
cee and her accomplice, who is his pro
fessed friend. The conspiracy in which
the luckless Kentuckian finds himself
leads to a crisis in Wall Street, but the
millionaire’s tottering fortune is secured
when he dons racing colors and wins the
Futurity on his own horse.
The play is absorbing from first to last,
combining some of the elements of a
society drama with the more virile com
ponents of plausible melo-drama. Its
battle of millions in Wall Street, its stir
ring race-track scene, its view of New
high social life, contrasted by the blue
grass and hills of Kentucky and its cow
boy atmosphere, give the play a variety
of appeal that is certain to insure a wide
and remarkable following.
SATURDAY, JULY 29TH,
Sussue Hayakawa, the Japanese actor, in
“THE TYPHOON.”
Tokoramo has been sent to Paris by
his country to secure the plans of the
French military forces. His work is in
terfered with by the visits to his office
of Helene, a chorus girl with whom he
has fallen in love. Helene has heartless
ly thrown over her fiance Bernisky for
the new and interesting Jap, and mean
while Toko’s countrymen in Paris have
been informed by their spy of Helene’s
visits.
Tokoramo endeavors .to keep Helene
from coming because he is working night
and day; but to no avail. She continues
to visit his apartments against his wishes
and one day while there her rejected
sweetheart rces his way past the serv
ant into Toko’s room. Toko quickly hides
Helene behind a curtain, where she list
ens to her own denunciation and expos
ure from the lips of the man she has so
lightly deserted. When Bernisky de
parts, Toko brings Helene from her hid
ing place and bids her go forever, but
she pleads passionately to remain. Toko
will not listen and demands that she leave
at once. Helene starts, and Toko, real
izing how much he cares for her, calls
her back. Then she refuses to stay, and
in vehement denunciation tells him she
will go back to Bernisky and laughs at
him—calls him a “yellow rat” and bids
him return to his yellow country from
whence he came. This enrages Toko,
and he strangles Helene to death and
leaves her lying lifeless on his bed.

Commit* Suicide.
Residents of Catoctin Furnace were
thrown into a state of great excitement
Wednesday night of last weak when it
was learned that John Carty, a resident
of that place committed suicide by shoot
ing himself. It is stated that Carty be
came despondent because of ill health
and deliberately fired a bullet into his
brain.
Dr. M. A. Birely and Justice L. R.
Waesche of Thurmont were summoned,
the latter after hearing evidence in the
matter, decided an inquest unnecessary.
Carty had been in the employ of Mr.
Alva M. Isanogle. He was about 56
years old. Six children survive him.
Funeral services were held Saturday
afternoon at Lewistown. M. L. Creager
& Son, funeral directors.
Policeman Shoots Negro.
Following an attempt to arrest two
negros in Frederick City last Saturday
evening, officer Lewis S. Hahn shot and
killed Philip Spencer, aged about 33years,
and a resident of Greenfield.
Spencer and Joseph Parker got into a
fight at the corner W. All Saints and S.
Market streets, and when the officer at
tempted to arrest them Spencer turned
on the officer, the result being that he
was shot. A coroner’s jury exonerated
Hahn from all blame. The affair created
considerable excitement in the locality
and especially among the colored popula
-1 tion.
The place of the fight is close to the
B. & O. Depot, and it is said that numer
ous negroes collect there Saturday even
ings to take a train out of the city.
After many of them are half drunk, the
conduct on the train is something fierce.

EmmitsburglO, Thurmont4
Hotly Contested Came Inspires
Our Local Poet.
Last Thursday afternoon the Emmits
burg baseball club came down to Thur
mont and played with the local club.
, They had fightin’ clothes on and started
, off with a rush, the rush continuing until
| the close of the game. A ball batted
, out third base line bounded over the
I third baseman’s head and gave the visit
ors a run in the third inning. They con
| tinued scoring on most anything—most
of the things being hits.
The local boys who connected with the
ball apparently for a safety, saw the ball
land directly in the glove of their oppon
ents. Not a run was made until the
I seventh when the ball made another
1 phenomenal Jump over the third sacker’s
head, three runs being made before the
inning closed.
Features of the game were the throw
ing of a ball through the windshield of
an Emmitsburg car by an Emmitsburg
player while warrni"g up, the glass cut- |
ting a lady in the car. The breaking of
a bleacher plank on which were sitting
about half a dozen Emmitsburg ladies,
one of whom got a severe bump on the
head; the retirement of umpire Root on
account of extreme heat, and the losing
of balls in the jungles surrounding the
diamond.
THE GAME WITH EMMITSBURG.
We strolled down to the baseball lot
To see our boys so proud,
We found them there right on the dot,
And praises we sang loud.
The umpire called the game at last;
We settled down to see
How easy ’twas to take the game
By score of four to three.
Ed. climbed upon the little mound
With Clark behind the plate.
They gave the ball a toss around.
Our hopes were going great.
Just how it was we’ll never write,
How Emmitsburg should see,
To swat that ball out into right,
Was good for bases three.
They started in at once to score,
The buses soon were filled.
The ball next sailed the bushes o’er,
Alas! our hopes were killed.
Our turn at bat soon came along,
We thought we’d now get square,
The umpire sang his little song,
“Three strikes! get out of tnere.”
And when we knocked one in the air
That looked good for a run, *
Their fielders always happened there
To spoil our little fun.
When Emmitsburg took turn at bat,
It was the same old story,
Home runs, two baggers, and all that
To pile up more their glory.
Then once we got the bases full,
And Ed. came to the bat,
Their pitcher gave his belt a pull
And tightened down his hat.
The umpire left us wait a bit
While balls and strikes he cried,
When Ed. sent out a smashing hit
We thought the score was tied.
The runners started round the line
To bring some runs at last,
But Chick just then was working fine
And stopped that mighty blast.
The ball went right into his mit,
And jumped right out again,
But that’s not all there is to it,
For he reached right out and then,
That ball he had right in his hand
Before it touched the ground,
Right there he killed our little band,
They never got around.
Their team’s too heavy now we say,
And their ladies too I’ll declare,
They broke our grandstand down that
day,
An occurrence very rare.
Instead of score of four to three,
They trimmed us ten to four;
All’s over, but it seems to me,
We should have gotten more.
Don’t turn us down, but get in line,
And hoost us all you can,
We’ll practice now our little nine,
Come out and be a fan.

Thurmont- Deerfield Road.
Home Contributions Liberal
Ami Prospects Good For A
Macadam Road.
Several members of the committee that
was appointed at Deerfield several
months ago to wait upon the Western
Maryland Railway Co. in regard to what
they would do in order to eliminate the
four grade crossings on the road from
Thurmont to Deerfield, and to solicit con
tributions to macadamize this road, with
Dr. Cullen chairman, appeared before
the County Commissioners on Monday
and reported to said Commissioners that
they had subscribed several hundred dol
lars short of two thousand dollars, but
guaranteed to get two thousand; that the
Western Maryland Railway had only
agreed to give seven hundred and fifty
dollars, which was deemed by the County
Commissioners and the Committee as
being very short of doing their part, as
the cost of grading the new road bed to
eliminate said crossings will cost about
three thousand dollars alone, and the
Western Maryland Railway will be the
beneficiary in eliminating damages at
said crossings. Three of them are very
dangerous on account of the bushes and
a train coming down the mountain with
out puffing is upon you before you know
it.
The road will evidently be macada
mized which will bring considerable more
travel on that road and a fight will then
be made for watchmen at these crossings.
It is the intention of the Committee and
County Commissioners to again wait upon
the railroad company and see if they will
not donate sufficient to do away with
these crossings before money is spent
upon the present road.
Every year the number of trains on the
railroad is increasing, and the amount of
travel on this road will increase and there
is not on the line of said road three more
dangerous crossings. At the fourth one
you have a show. We feel sure that the
railroad company will do their part when
they thoroughly understand the true sit
uation.

hoea Remedy.

to be needed before nhe summer is over.
It has no superior for the purposes it is
intended. Buy it now. Obtainable every
where.
