asked to restrain hack drivers from standing
their vehicles in the vicinity of tho Pnxton
hotel. Tho caso was thrown out of court 11
few days ago, but Mr. Kitchen declares that
would never havo happened but for neglect
of duty on the part of his attorney nnd ho
has now instituted proceedings to havo the
order of dismissal set aside. If tho effort Is
succcsbful It means tho reinstatement of the
case.
Park Oodwln is tho attorney ngalnst whom
tho Pnxton management has filed objections.
In nn affidavit on record In the office of tho

allowed tho case to go by default. It Is
further stated that Mr. Kitchen tried to em
ploy another attorney a few days ago, but
members of the bar wero alow to accept tho

AUTHOR OF THE BALLOT LAW
111, y.ellcr Snjs that the Omaha Suni
ple Itiillnt In Properly
Count riictcil.
Dr. M. T. Sellers of Hooper, Neb., who
was tho author, in tho last legislature, of
tho present ballot law, Is In Omahi. It Is
probable thnt Dr. Hooper may bo tho candi
date for tho legislature again this fall on
tho republican ticket from his district. His
attention being called to tho samplo ballot
gotten out by City Clerk lllgby. and the
objections that havo been registered against
It by fuslonlsts, ho explained thnt tho ballot
was properly constructed accoidlng to law.
"Tho law Is very careful," said Dr. tel
lers, "o prescribe tho nzc of tho typo In
which tho names of tho candidates shall bo
printed and tho amount of tpaco between
tho names of the- different candidates, but
It does not say anything ns to tho slio nf
tho typo representing tho polltL-al party by
which the nomination has been made, Tho
spaco between tho names of tho candidates
must bo one-quarter cf an Inch, nn.l you
can readily see that If ono man woro nomi
nated by ten different parties It would le
absolutely necessary to put tho iit.iai 3 of
the political parties In smaller type, or to
string them along in u sltile line, one nf' t
tho other. If tho fusion parties had thtir
names printed In smaller typo I priBiimo
they would object thnt thnt was a dlsirlmln
ntlnn also. Hut tho fusion of three or more
parties Is nn anomaly .shlih cannot bo pro
vided for by 11 law supposed to bo general In
Its provisions."

Tho old Fouthlll Castlo of tlto ac'ir, H1
wln Forrest, m Mount St. Vincent "For-
icst's Follj," ns it was called which burned
I recently, wns full of romantic In'erest, re
! lates tho New York Sun. It v.is tho dream
or FortcBl's life, whli h ho wns Just about to
icalze when it w.-m ended by the unfottu
' nato istiaiigctncnt between him and his
wife. He was always fond of the Hudson
and had decided in early life that he would
hulld his homo upon Its banks, If he ever
built one. In is i:, having accumulated a
pmnll fortune from his work on the stnge.
ho decided that the tlmo had'nirlvcd for
building It. Accordingly ho purchased
j lnn-o tract of land for Ills estate. He waa
I r.vsl'matcly n lovo with his wife. He cared
j for her and hor happiness above all other
things in life, mid everything he did was
lo plcaso her. Ills llrst dcalro, then. In build
ing their home, was that she should bo sat
iated. After his wife, he loved his profis
Mion, nnd was thoughtful of It even In build
ing his home. He would build n hoiif,e which,
niter ho ami hi wife wero both gone, should
bo an enduring memorial of his love for his
fellow actors.
ForrcM .ami his wife planned the house
together. They decided to model It In n gen
eral way after Fouthlll Castlo In Hngland.
Tho architectural design was mostly the
work of Mrs. Forritd. It combined the Nor
man and Gothic styles of the older castle,
softened In detail so as to provide for the
luxuries of modern Improvements. Tho
castlo conslcted of six octagonal towera
clumped together, tho battlements of somo
notched with embrasures, tho others capped
with cornlccl coping. The highest tower
rote about seventy feet from the bate. Tho
live other towers varied in height. The base
ment contained tho kitchen, cellar and store
rooms. On tho llrst lloor were tho parlor,
banquet hall, study, boudoir and library.
Tho center tower comprised a hall or ro
Hindu, nnd above this wns n picture gallery
lighted from the dome. The upper floors
wero divided Into chambers for guests nnd
npartments for servants.
The staircase tower had a spiral staircase
of granite Inserted in a solid hrlok column
rising from the basement lo the top of the
tower, with landings on each floor leading
lo tho npartments. In other towers on the
Hist floor were tho drawing room and ban
quet hall, each lighted with deep, square
bay windows, while thrso of tho upper
chambers and of tho boudoir were of tho
Gothic order. In other parts of tho building
wero to bo seen tho rounded windows of
tho Norman period with their solid stono
mulllons dividing tho compartments again
Into pointed Gothic loopholes and but
tresses. The main entrance was on the upper
or land side. It had a fine doorway, needing
only n moat nnd drawbridge- to give It the
nlr of a fortified castle.
During the progress or the building of tho
castlo Forrest had Improvised 11 rude resi
dence on the grounds, which he visited at
frequent intervals, growing constantly more
deeply nttached lo the spot and to his pros
pective home. On July !, 1S50, ho gathered
his friends nnd neighbors to tho number of
200 or moro nnd held 11 celebration on tho
grounds, rending tho Declaration of Inde
pendence nnd delivering nn oration.
It was Forrest's Idea that Fouthlll castlo
should bo used, after his and his wife's
death as a homo for actors, to bo called the
"Edwin Forteht home." In the cornerstone
nf tho castlo ho placed specimens of Amer
ican coins, 11 copy of Shakespeato and tho
following paper:
"In building this house I am Impelled by
no vain desire to occupy 11 grand mansion
for tho gratification of self-love, but my ob
ject is to build n desirable, spacious and
comfortablo abode for myself and wife, to
servo us during our nntural lives, and nt
our deaths to endow tho building with a
sufficient yearly Income so thnt a certain
number of decayed or superannuated actors
end actresses of American birth (all for
eigners excluded) may inhabit the mansion
and enjoy the grounds thereunto belonging,
ho long ns they live; nnd nt the death of
any ono of tho actors or actresses Inhabiting
tho Tromlsc, his or her place to bo sup
plied by another from tho theatrical profu
sion, who, from ago or Infirmity, may bo
found unable to obtain a livelihood upon
tho stage. Tho rules and regulations by
which this Institution Is Co bo governed will,
nt somo futuro day, bo formed by
"KDWIN FOrtUUST."
To this charity Forrcht Intended to devote
his entlro property forever. It was his Idea,
as tho estate grew In value, ns It undoubt
edly would, owing to Its proximity to New
York, for tho trustees to Invest tho surplus
In nn American dramatic school for tho edu
cation of poor but worthy young Americans
In the profession of the stage or In the art
of writing plays.
Hut before Fonthlll wns finished domostlc
troubles arose. Forrest was estranged from
his wifo nni( later dhorced. He was heart
broken. Tho sight of tho castlo beenme dis
tasteful to him. It was the grave Instead nf

"Of all the outlandish woopons ever em
ployed in 11 light." said a business man to
n New Orleans Times reporter, "1 think I
brought tho most fantastic on record into
play one night Inst week. My family nre
uwny on a visit at prwent and I am keeping
bachelor hall out at the house. On the nlht
to which 1 refer I wns nrouscd nt about 3 a
ra. by a noise somewhere In the region of
tho dtnlng-room nnd thinking I had shut up
the dog there I Jumped up very foolishly
and came downstnlr In my night clothes,
without so much as a pocket-knife. When I
otened the dining room door 1 was startled
to see a big. rough-looking man bonding over
tho sideboard nt the far end of the room,
nnd nfter we had stood there cn tableau for
n moment tho fellow made a rush at me.
I leaped back Into the hall and glared ardund
for a weapon.
"On a table near by were n dozen Incan
descent, light bulbs, which I had brought
home to replace some that had burned out,
and purely by luollnct I grabbed one of them
and throw it at tho burglar. It hit tho door
easing close to his head nnd to my amaze
ment exploded with a tiolso like a young
lyddlto shell. I suppose It was n stilt greater
surprise to the other fellow, for he let out a
yell nhtt broke for tho rear, followed by n
rapld-llro bombardment of slxteen-candlo
power lncnndc.o.'cnts. which 1 continued to
chuck nt him ns long as he remnlned In
range. They smashed ngalnst tho furniture
with a series of crashes that alarmed tho
wholo nelghborhcod. and I have been gath
ering up fragments of broken glass ever
flnce. The burglar must havo thought I was
chasing him with hand greuadcis. It was the
firU time I ever knew Incandescent. mado
such a row when they broke. An electrician

An I nBiillunt .Skeleton.
Two young men, who must havo been
medical students, boaided an Angora car
late Sunday night with n fully articulated
skeleton, relates the Philadelphia ltccord.
Knch had ono arm linked with that of the
skeleton, whose bones rattled gruesomely
ns they walked to the forward end of tho
car and gravely seated themselves with
their Inanimate companion between them.
Between tho grinning teeth of the skeleton
was 11 cigarette, and a derby hat adorned
Its shining skull. Tho car was rather
crowded and the other passengers, most of
whom wero men, gazed in open-mouthed
nfctonlsbmcnt at tho strange spectacle. Tho
two young fellows, however, pretended to
be unconscious of their surroundings, and
held such converso with tho skeleton as:
"Too bad you didn't wear your mackintosh.
Hill. I'm afraid you'll cntch cold." Or.
"Say, Illll, better throw away your cigarette
or tho conductor will put you off." When
the conductor came through for the fares
ono of the young men handed him 15 cents,
and ho rang up three fares without a word
of comment. At Sixteenth street a young
girl entered tho ear and looked around for
a scat. "Here, 11111," exclaimed ono of the
students, "whero's your gallntitry? Get up
mid give tho lady a seat." Then ho yanked
tho skeleton out of Its place and set It 011
his knees. Tho girl gave one screech, fled
to the back plntform, and Insisted that the
conductor stop the car nnd put her oil. "Gee!
Hill!" remarked tho student, gazing re
proachfully Into the skeleton's fare, "you've
deteriorated. You used lo be quite a lady's
man." Thrn everybody laughed.

I wrote you last summer and you advised me to take Wine of Cardui and Black-Draught.
I have taken three bottles of the Wine, and four packages of Black-Draught, and I am glad to let
you know that I am better ever since I took the first nine doses. "When I first began taking your
medicine I was in bed, and I tried several doctors and they didn't do me any good, but now I can
do all my work, and don't get tired. I think I have had all the troubles that could afflict a poor
woman; my back hurt, as did my head and legs, and I had a sick stomach every time I ate any
thing. Now I can eat anything and it does not hurt me and I don't get tired. I think this is the
best medicine that was ever discovered. Mrs. CORA ROBINSON.
All women need Wiue of Cnnlui occnsionnlly to regulate menstruation, even if they seem to be in good
health. Hut the woninu who works tieeds it every month. Ilecausn Mrs. Robinson realized thnt fact she is
happy, healthy; and full of vigor to-day. Instead of druHKing her life out with constntit suffering, bhe is
enabled to fulfill her daily duties with a bright and smiling face. Working women have many burdens.
Constant standing, or sitting in the same position all day induces falling of the womb, kucorrha-a, head
ache, and bnckache. Taken before the menstrual period, Wiue of Cardui braces up the system, lessens the
suffering, and enables a woman to work without losing time. There are many women who silently undergo
