THE NEW ALLEN THEATRE To be Opened Late in October --The Furnishings Are Beautiful. The work at the new Allen theatre on Princess street, between Montreal and Sydenham, is progressing rapid- ly and the structure is gradually taking definite shape. The work has been delayed for long periods at a | time by labor troubles and the diffi- culty of securing men but is now rushing along at a great rate. It is expected that the finished theatre will be open to the public before the first of November, and with that end in view the contractors are putting forth every effort to com- plete their work. The Allen's new Kingston theatre will be devoted to moving pictures and will run solely as a moving piec- ture house, which fact has been taken into careful consideration in its building, in order that the audi- ence may have the very best possible view of the screen with the least strain on the eyes. " The ventilating system is com- plete and modern and has proved ex- cellent in theatres of the same mo- del in operation at the present time. Combined with the ventilating sys- tem jis an up-to-date heating system which is the last word in warmth without discomfort. The edifice will | seat 1,500 people with comparative | facility. The new: Allen: theatre extends from the very side-walk on Princess street to that on Queen street. The main entrance will be on Princess street and will be characterized by the Allen standard overhead canopy which extends over the walk and is supported by stays of beautiful de- sign. Over the canopy will be an immense window of leaded glass, and, at right angles to the window, a large and artistic electric sign. Inside the main entrance is a small lobby and from it one passes over the smooth tiled floors, through the fine double swing doors into the promenade lobby or terrace. At the Princess street end of this terrace will be the ticket office, and along the sides are placed large wicker armchairs and davenports finished in cream and old rose. The Allen theatre will introduce to Kingston a longfelt want in the shape of ladies' and gentlemen's wash and toilet rooms opening off this lobby. Between these two rooms Is the rendezvous and the ladies' rest-room. Both are equipped with large wicker armchairs and daven- : There's no time like summer -- Por the soft breeze would n to give a maid 4 helping hand.

It is planned to place a fountain just at the entrance of the rendezvous, which, coupled with the roomy arch of that large room, will give a very pleasing effect. All these rooms are finished in white tile with tile floors, as is the main body of the house which opens off the end of the promenade.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, Sep- tember 14th and 15th, the various stores in the movement will have large displays of the new millinery and stocks, and all will co-operate to givel the very best 'display possible for the benefit of the buying public. Buyers would do well to view these displays on those dates if they wish to get a good idea of the correct styles for the coming season and the stocks carried by the local stores.

PENITENTIARY CONDITIONS Are Reported by John Kid- man as Improved--Recom=- mendations Made. Toronto, Sept. 8.--Some measure of public management in the conduct of federal penitentiaries through the medium of advisbry or visiting com- mittees was one of the chief recom- mendations made at a meeting of the Dominion Penological committae of the Social Service Council in Can- ada heldl yesterday. The committee had under considgration a report of a visit made to Kingston penitentiary by one of its members, John Kidman, who had been permittédd to go over the institution as hon. secretary of the Canadian Prisoners' Welfare As- sociation, Montreal. In general the report showed that while it was admitted there had been irregularities in the administra- tion and that conditions in the hospi- tal had not been satisfactory up to a recent date, new appointments had resulted in important improvements. This was particularly the case in re- gard to hospitdl arranyements, which were now on a better basis. Further, it appeared from the re- port that the industrial system is being considerably extended ana although the stone-pile has not been entirely abolished, it is now only used as a stop-gap to idleness under bad weather conditions and for a small proportion of the inmates. Cells were said to be airy and com- modious in comparison with other institutions of the same character; the food was wholesome and well cooked, and there was no evidence te show that dungeons existed. Having received and adopted the report, the committee placed on re- cord its appreciation of the steps which have recently been taken tof improve the administration of the institution, to render more tolerable the lot of the inmates, particularly in regard to the sick. 'At the same time," the committee added, "the time Is ripe for certain fundamental changes in the penitentiary system. The Government should place suffi- cient money in the estimates for the provision of new buildings or for the modification of existing build- ings, so that a system of segregation as between old and new offenders may be introduced." Another recomendation of the committee was that the industrial system should be so extended as to render unnecessary any stone-pile or unproductive work and that it DELICIOUS woRryp AT-- JAS.

In regard to women prisoners it was recommended that all buildings wherein they are incarcerated should be entirely without the penij- tentiary walls and that women phy- sicians only should be in charge of the health-of female inmates: The use of cells in'hospitals unless abso- lutely necessary was also de- precated. . In order that complaint and "scandals," such as have recently been aired in the press, may be better dealt with the committee finally recommended 'to the Depart- ment of Justice the adoption of the principle of giving the public some measure of representation through the appointment of an advisory and visiting committee composed of public-spirited citizens for all peni- tentiaries. : The meeting was presided over by Rev. Canon Vernon, and there were also present Dean Tucker, W. P, Archibald, Ottawa, Dr. J. G. Shear- er, John Kidman, Montreal and Miss C. E. Whitton, secretary. SPORTING NEWS West Enders, and Portsmouth. Everybody was playing ball on the holiday, and to be in style, several young residents of the west end scraped a team together and went out to meet the Portsmouth aggre- gation on its baseball field. The Portsmouth boys were ready for them and the game was soon under way. The West Enders should have got clean away with the game but held themselves in and the score turned out a tie, 3 to 3. The game was featured by the heavy hitting of McCormick and Simmons, especially Simmons, They both broke into the home run all the rest of the game. The bat- teries were, Fowler and Marks for Portsmouth, and Mathews and Ryan for the West Enders. Mr. O'Donnell proved a wise and fair umpire and handled the game to the satisfac- tion of all. : ---- BASEBALL ON TUESDAY. International League, Baltimore 13-17, Syracuse 4-4, Toronto 9, Akron 2.
