Prosperity.
Do you know that in these hard times a
section of country fifty miles square
called the Black Hills, has more material
prosperity than any other piece of the
same size yon can mention? 18,000,000
was the ltyC gold product one-sixth of
the entire amount produced in the United
States. Late last fall new discoveries
were made that will largely increase the
product. As soon as the snow goes off
prospecting will be renewed vigorously
at the new fields. There will be found a
chance for men with limited means, as
good ore is found at grass roots, and
money can be obtained for development
from sale of ore as soon as they begin
work. You can get valuable informa
tion regarding the new gold discoveries

Of the father of the present king of

when two of his cabinet ministers
called upon him with the draft of a
new law for which they required his
approval and signature, they found
him seated in his arm-chair, with an
open book on his kneea After read
ing the statute to hla majesty the min
isters stood for a long time silently
waiting for an answer. At length,
when their patience was nearly ex
hausted, tho king suddenly closed his
book with a bang, and exclaimed,
with a look of unutterable triumph:

lavorlta,
HAT applies to the
legitimate stage ap
plies equally well
to grand opera. It
Is the present ab
surd system of pay-
frlUfc ft prices for singers'
services that
brought about the
recent bankruptcy
of Messrs. Abbey,
Bchoeffel ft Grau. To pay a singer
11,600 a performance is not only idi
otic, but criminal, not on the part of
the managers, who simply supply the
demand, but on the part of our million
aires, who . encourage the system by
paying fantastic prices for their boxes
and stats. Think of what 1,600
means! Thousands and thousands of
good Americana are happy to make
that much in a year, but Jean de Resz
kt or Madame Calve can make it in
X couple of hours. What it mort, they
do not spends the money here, but take
It out of the country. We actually lose
fl.000,000 a year by paying these ab-
turdly high prices to singers. Why are
these prices paid? Simply for names,
nat for voices. Granted that Jean
dt Reszke is the finest tenor living, and
It worth even more than he receives,
la it necessary that our managers
should employ the services of such an
expentlvt artist? There are plenty of
tenors In France and Italy who would
ting for one-tenth part of what De
Reszke gets, and who could give just
as much pleasure to those who go to
the opera to enjoy opera for itself.
They do not pay these extravagant
prices abroad, yet the Abbey and Grau
productions could not compare, from
the point of artistic ensemble, with the
productions of opera In the great con
tinental centers. It is indisputable
that while the productions at the Met
ropolitan Opera House, New York,
were remarkable for the big names in
the cast, the minor details of each pro
duction were sadly neglected, particu
larly with regard to the chorus and the
ballet. It is the same with our opera
goers as with our play-goers. They go
to see he singers, not to listen to the
opera.
Bernhardt to Manama Herself.
Barah Bernhardt says that if she re
turns to America for another tour she
will manage herself. That la to say,
the will engage some one at so much
a week to attend to her business af
fairs, Instead of farming hertllf out to
Abbey, Sehoeffel & Grau, as hereto
fore, and this step, It Is said, was de
termined upon long before that firm
failed. I have never been able to com
prehend why actors of international
fame like Bernhardt and Irving need
managing. Their names alone pro
cure them the best booking through
out the country, and they do not need
the endorsement of an important man
agerial firm as do Rejane, Coquelln, or
Mounet-Sully, whose success here is
largely a matter of speculation. The
difference to the star is, of course, con
siderable, for while a business manager
can be procured for a modest ealary,
a big manager shares in the receipts,
and takes from the star thousands of
dollars. The only apparent advantage
to the star in being under the wings
of a big manager is that the latter is
usually willing to give the artist a
guarantee, but Irving and Bernhardt
do not need guarantees. Theater-goers
floek to see their performances In the
same spirit in which they go to the
circus.

Hammerstatn's Maw Oara,
"Marguerite," the spectacular opera
ballet, which has been running at the
Olympla Music hall, New York, for
several months, is the product of Oscar
Hammersteln's fertile brain. Mr.
Hammersteln wrote both the music
and libretto of the opera, devised many
of the different dances, and says he
even composed the scenery. It Ira
beautiful production and many of the
dancing sets are decidedly original
One of the most effective is "The Vil
lage Wedding," with its quaint cos
tumes of many years ago. This is the
only set which has a leader. The lit
tle fiddler who plays while the wed
ding party executes a graceful dance
is Miss Lucile Sturges, whose dainty
figure and pretty face are familiar to
all who have seen this opera-ballet
She la only sixteen years old, and hat
been seen In several similar produc
tions. Mr. Hammersteln will have a
part for he? In the new opera he it writ,

Jahne, who is now one of the most
prominent members of the Theatre du
Gymnase company, made her debut
MLLE. JAHNE. .
at the Theatre de l'Odeon In 1884.
Since that time she has been Identi
fied with the productions of a great
number of successful plays. She was
a member of the Theatre du Vaude
ville company from 1891 to 1892, and
was then induced to go to the Gym
nase, where she has met with great
success.
Hiss Adams' Successes.
In a few years Maud Adams has
advanced from a player of small roles
to the prominent position of leading
woman in the John Drew company.
Miss Adams is an actress of rare
daintiness and charm and her acting Is
as delicate as her physical appearance.
She ia delightful in high comedy; and
in her latest part that of the neglect
ed wife in "The Squire of Dames"
she displayed unexpected emotional
strength.
Harmony Lacking.
Outside of the weakness at shortstop
the Louisville club as It stands seemfl to
be strong enough to have made a better
showing than it was able to do on the
Eastern trip, and the club officials have
finally come to the conclusion that the
poor showing made was more on ac
count of lack of harmony in the ranks
than inability to play ball, and in
cluded in the list of those players who
will no longer be colonels, are the men
who have been accused of knocking.
Pitcher Hill seems to need more sea
soning and will be sent to the farm. A
chance was offered to loan pitcher Tom
Smith to Buffalo, but he did not want
to play with the "Bisons" and it was
not insisted upon. McDermott, It is
said, will be sent to the bench without
pay, and will have a long siege of it
drawing no salary unless there is a
radical improvement in his work.
Pitcher McFarland has been recalled
from Rochester, and it is possible that
pitcher Herman, of the same team, may
also be recalled. Both of these players
belong to the Louisville club.
The Matter of "Dissipation.''
We take the following from John M.
Ward's book, "How to Play Base Ball:"
"In the heat of midsummer a man
would require a copper-lined stomach
to safely drink Lake Michigan water
one day, Missouri river the next and
Ohio river the next, yet this is what
professionals have to do; so that ex
treme care and abstinence are neces
sary. A bottle of ale or beer with the
evening meal has a very soothing ef
fect on the nerves. Base ball makes
such demands on the nervous energies
that most men really need something
quieting after a hard-fought struggle.
There is always more or less said and
written about what is called dissipa
tion among players, but it is princi
pally commented upon in connection
with losing teams. As a matter of faot
there is very little real dissipation
among professionals, and what there is
It by ne means confined to tail-enders."

Ont of the Gratitude of His Heart, Mr.
John McMillan Tells a Reporter
How He Was Cured of Most
Terrible Suffering.
From the Capital, St. John, Kansas.
Your correspondent in an interview
with Mr. John McMillan," who resides at
St. John, Kansas, elicited the following
information concerning the wonderful
curative properties contained in Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills.
Mr. McMillan said:
"In the fall of 1894, 1 with another
man, decided upon a hunting expedition
into the Indian Territory,. Accordingly
we started south late in the fall. The
weather was damp and cold, and we
were eompelled to sleep on the ground
with nothing but a tent for protection.
The exposure coupled with the bad
water, which in that county contains a
great quantity of alkali and gypsum,
caused mo to contract a bad case of kid
ney trouble and rheumatism, something
I had never known before. After remain
ing in the Territory for several months
and continuing to grow worse, I con
cluded the best thing for me to do was
to come home, which I proceeded to do.
But after returning I seemed to get no
better, if anything worse.
"I tried Be veral remedies without avail.
My nights were spent in sleeplessness
and misery, and I became convinced
that I must have help immediately,
Someone told me the benefits they had
derived from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
and I determined to give them a trial,
which I did and I can truthfully assert to
you that their action was magical.
From the first dose I commenced im
proving and 'twas buta short time until
all pain had left me, and I felt entirely
welU What is more, I have never had a
recurrence of my trouble from the time
of my recovery until the present time. I
can certainly recommend Dr Williams'
Pink Pills as one of the best medicines
on the market if not the best."
In conclusion Mr. McMillan asked us
if we intended making his statement
public, and upon our affirmative reply
he remarked that he was perfectly satis
fied, as he had often contemplated doing
so himself, as be considered it a duty he
owed to suffering humanity.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements neces
sary to give new life and richness to the
blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are an unfailing specific for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neu
ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache,
the after effect of la grippe, palpitation
of the heart, pale and sallow complex
ions, all forms of weakness either in
male or female. Pink Pills are sold by
all dealers, or will be sent post-paid on
receipt of price, 50 cents per box or six
boxes for $2.50 (they are never sold in
bulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr.
Williams' Medicine Company, Schnec

- Ornel and brutish people like large

The more refined people are the more

their food. They object to .coarse,
heavy and greasy food. They like
lean, well prepared meats, accompan
