The working desks and new for-1 ( nituro intended for use in the de partment of manual arts, soon to be established in the Kennedy street school, arrived y*.?terday. Within the, next few days all other arrange- ? mont? and preparations for getting < the new department underway will be complete and the first class will go to work in earnest. Discussing the matter. Saturday, i Prof. G. W. Chambers says that he I ls well pleased with the prospects and he believes that the addition to the Behool course will- be of real ben efit to thc school and also to the pu pila cf the institution. Prof. Cham bers la enthusiastic over the work he . hopes to accomplish In Anderson. .One of the teachers in the Kennedy I street school has taken up the girl's "Camp Fire" work and already a] splendid class ls enrolled in that de-j partment. The girls of the institu tion are much Interested and are de termined that their instructor will have no reason to be disappointed be- c cause of lack of results. This bids fair to become one of the most* pop ular features of the Kennedy street | school. The sewing classes, recently intro duced at this popular school, are be coming very interesting and almost A avery girl in the school is taking a hand. When they become a little nore proficient in this work, they will make for themselves a number >f class suits and a picture ot fhe sewing class, attired in clothes ot their own make, will be printed in The Intelligencer. Prof. Chambers first taught classes n manual training at St, Petersburg, F?a., several years ago. When it was ascertained that the, school board vas willing to lend some financial as- I ilstance toward getting the dosses1 (tarted in Anderson schools, Mr. Chambers went to Chicago, where he tl took a summer course, and had eev- y irai high honors paid him during hie {tay there, by members of the faculty if the Chicago institution. Mr. Chambers believes that the An-1 lerson schools will all take to the! work and he says that he expects top, be able to show the parents eome Ihiug by the time the schcol year| :ome" to a close.

Ask Trace to Bary Bean. Today both sides claim, success in i battle tn. which there were so nany victims that the Germans ask d for a trace to bury their dead, inls plea was refused. In Poland the Russians having om polled the Germans to desist from heir first ? r.ttack on Warsaw and vangorod are preparing for a repe itlon r<t ene offensive on the part ot heir adversaries by bringing up more nen and' guns. In the East Th? Russians, siso, apparently aro ngaged in offensive operations on he east. Prussian frontier,. aa the ?erman official report refers to an tnsucceasful attack at Augostowo. Of fighting in Bosnia accounts are o contradictory that no judgment an be formed.

"You can say for me that the Ander son Theatre surpasses my most san guine expectations and that I am well pleased in every respect." said C. H. Bleich yesterday. Mr. Bleich and his partner. Odie Davis, a well known capitalist, came to Anderson Friday from Hopkinsville. Ky., and spent all of Friday and Saturday in going over the theatre plans, closing up contracts and getting ready to book attractions These two gentlemen have leased the Anderson amusement place and will make lt the best theatre in the Smith if none or their plans go astray. At - conference yesterday between the board of directors of the Ander son Development Company and M es sors. Bleich and Davis, the matter of a name was discussed at some length and it was finally determined to call the place "The Anderson." February 1 was selected as the date for the thea tre to open and within a few days af ter Mr. Bleich gets back to Hopkins ville he will go on to New York and will endeavor to book some stellar at traction for tho opening night in An derson. It ls hoped to get one of the best stars on the stage today for the first performance to be seen here. Anderson people will be interested in learning that Mr. Bleich baa clos ed with Klaw Erlinger to book all the attractions for The Anderson. This firm is probably better known to Sou thern theatre goers than any other in the United States since it handles the bookings for all the best theatres and theatrical attractions in thia country. Following his trip to New York, Mr. Bleich will come back to Anderson In abott three weeks for the purpose nf meeting here with representatives ot seating companies, scenery concerns, paint representatives and others, at which time all these contracts will be let and everything put in readiness for tb? opening night. The steel girders and beams arrived in Anderson yesterday and Monday morning workmen will be placing these In the new theatre building and getting the steel work well under way. There ls no doubt about the theatre be ing ready for nee by February 1. In addition to showing theatrical at tractions in the new thralro, Mr. Bleich ls to open a me.lng picture house here, to show on nights when no operatic attractions are booked The latest models of improved motion picture machinery will be purchased by Mr. Bleich while he ia in Nsw York and ha will endeavor to secure im proved screens, so that bis place will be the only one of its fclnd in this sec tion.
