territory lins kopt paco with the commcr
clal activity of the country. The year's
record of rnllnny ImllillnK has been nu-
lliorltntlvoly compiled by tho Hallway Aro,
which saya:
AlthoiiKh railway construction has been
carried on with energy In nlmost every
portion of tho country during tho year
Just closing, the returns thus fnr gathered
lndlcntn that fewer miles of now road havo
been i-ompfutcil In tho United States In
l!t(i0 than wcro built during 18'j9. Thy
difference Is not gnat nnd as trncklayl'jg
Is being rushed on n number of tines dur
itig tho closing days of tho year, It may
bo Hint I ('Vised and belated rcturnti will
mill enough mileage to bring tho figures
up to last year's total, when I.SSS miles of
new road wero built.
At tho beginning of tho present year
there was apparently sulllclent evidence to
warrant tho assumption that tho now mile
nge of IU0O would bo greater than that of
last year, and In seeking a cause for tho
Hinallur mileage niiw reported several things
must bo considered. First, the work of
reducing gmdes eliminating curves, erod
ing now struotures, relaying rails and build
ing douhlo track has been carried on to
Mich an extent by many of tho largu sys
tems that much now construction pro
vlously planned hail to bo postponed. Im
provements of this naturo havo been mora
oxtenslvo during tho last two years than
In any provlous llko period In the history
nf tho country and thu work has been of
Hiich magnitude us to require almost tho
full attention of the engineering nnd con
i Ktrudlon forces, n well as tho avallahlq
capital. Then, undoubtedly, many projects
vero hold in check until tho national elec
tion wiih over nnd It Is not lmprobablo that
tho high prices of steel rails and track
material had u deterrent effect on many
proposed lines which would havo been
completed ere (his had prices beon lower.
Tho returns thus far received necessa
rily Incomplete before tho year has ac
tually eloped show that not less than
4,822 miles of track havo been laid In tho
T'nltctl Slates during tho year 1000 on 330

"Thr llcnrt of .Maryland"
David Ilolasco's famous melodrama, so
realistic of tho stirring scenes of tho civil
war, loses nono of Its popularity as It
grows older and as other dramas seem to
displace It In tho affections of tho people.
so long as the "Heart of Maryland" I
siageu. just so long will It contlnuo to
charm thentcr-gocrs tho country over.
A cnpablo rompany, selected ,nnd trained
by Mr. Ilelasco, presented this excellent
drama very acceptably ot Doyd's theater
bumlay ufternoon and evening. Tho ner
formanco of each member of the cast was
entirely satisfactory. Miss Mabel Howard,
wno appears in tho role of Marvlond Cal
vert, gavo to tho charming character and
ndequato Interpretation. Herbert Ilostwlck's
characterization of the traitor. Colonel Ful
ton Thorpe, who, by his own declaration,
was "a man without a country," was satis
factory. Walter Ilelasco, tho brother of
tlio author, swaggered about as tho pro
vost sorgoant and tho ex-Jailor nt Plguog,
"Mlzzourl," with a. delightful sang frold

The vaudeville bill nt 'the Orphcum for
tho present week Is considerably above tho
average, comprising as It " docs, among
others, four nets, nny ono of which might
easily bo featured as a headllncr. Waldron,
tho femalo Impersonator, Is easily tho best
over hcon ou n local stago nnd his work
from beginning to end Is full of merit und
thoroughly artistic. Ho sings very well,
iialug a mezzo-soprano voice, his danco
uro full of grace, and his costumes qulto
bowlldcrlng In their magnificence. Kathryn
Ostermnn and Irving Ilrooks present a
skotch that Is admirably acted, nlthough
ono can scarcely repress tho feeling that
tho author of tho pleco showed questionable
taslo In making death tho subject of a Jest
as ho has done. Jennlo Wetmoro and com
pany glvo a quietly humorous skit entitled
"Aunt Jerusha's City Visit," which dlffors
from the usual run of rural skotches and Is
well 'presented It was received by tho
nudlenco with nil tho hallmarks of ap
probation. Miss Wetmoro avoids' tho com
mon fault ot vaudovilllans In that sho does
not overact her part, that of tho country
aunt, whllo tho rolo of her young nnd gawky
son la most admirably dono by n young
character actor whoso name does not np
peor on tho bill, The skit will servo well
for a vnudovlllo feature, and thoro need
bo no doubt of Miss Wetmoro's ability to
place it on tho stago In a pleasing manner.
Sho la admirably adupted to tho kind of
work in which sho Is now engaged and,
inero is no hesitancy In saying that she
will mnko n hit. Tho Kings glvo ono ot the
best acrobatic features ever seen In tho
city, and not the IcoBt amusing part of
their work is tho running flro of questions
nnd answers that Is kept up during Its
presentation. Ladd and Dreyfus con
tribute it singing und dancing specialty that
Is very good. Julius Witmark sang soveral
beautiful songs, but sang them far from
woll. Tho pictures by the klnodromo com
pleted tho program.

"Cribs, stralghtjackcts and strong rooms
aro a thing of tho past In tho treatment
of Insane. Kindness has taken the place
of cruelty. Tho old prison houses which
wero the Insano nsylttms of ton years ago
havo given way to well-appointed hospitals
and thu patients arc treated much tho same
as persons who are suffering with nny
malady," said Dr. Frederick P. Teal, who
has Just returned from New ork state
where ho spent n month Inspecting various
hospitals preparatory to entering upon his
duties ns superintendent of tho Norfolk
Hospltnl for tho Insane.
Dr. Teal spent much of his tlmo nt the
Mlddlotown hospital and also visited th
hospitals at lllnckwells Island and Illng-
hamlnii nnd the Ilellcvuo hospital for alco
hollc Insane. The Mlddletown hospital has
1,600 patients. At Hlnghamton thero nro
1,500 Inmates nnd tho hospital on Muck
wells Island has 2.100 criminal Insano
patients. New York state has a lunacy
commission. All tho hospitals havo been
under tho same management for nearly
twenty years and havo nn enviable rcputa
tlnn for their Improved methods ot caring
for unfortunates.
"In the Mlddletown hospital the doctors
showed mo n number of cribs and straight
Jackets which they relegated to tho garret
nnd exhibit as curiosities," Dr. Teal con
tinned. "Tho crib Is a heavy wooden box
much tho samo shnpo as a coffin and Is
covered with wooden nlnts. It used to bo
customnry to lock violent patients In this
affair nnd nllow them to exhaust them
selves, I, was also shown a number of
stralghtjackcts, and then tho doctors
showed mo tho humnno contrivances which
havo taken tho placo of these old Instru
mcnts of torture. Sheets nnd bandages
havo been devised which will keep tho most
violent pntlcnt In bed without forcing
upon him tho Idea that ho Is a prisoner.
Many more nurses nnd attendants nro pro-
viueu now tnnn rormoriy nnd when a
patient gives trouble enough men nro In
attendance to handlo him without force
Hot baths and other treatment which will
Improvo his condition are resorted to and
the causo of tho raving Is removed.
"Well-regulated Insano hospitals have
none of tho shrieking and confusion which
marked tho old-fashioned Institution. In
passing through tho Mlddletown hospital
ono would not know that tho patients nro
insane. They nro quiet nnd well-behaved.
There Is no attempt to forco them Into
obedlonco nnd as n result tho patients do
not seem to entertain tho dislike for at
tendants which used to ' cause so much
friction. Insane patients never forget
blow and nro quick to rcsont It. A cruel
attondant cannot remain In a modern hos
pita!.
Kiitct-liilniiimt fnr lumntcn.
'Amusements nro very Important In the
treatment of lusano persons, nnd at Mid
dletown much money is spent In entertain
lng tho patients. Every week a danco is
given and concerts nnd theatrical companies
nro engaged to appear at the hospital. I was
present at a masked ball given tor the pa
tlcnts, and never saw pcoplo havo a better
tlmo. There was tho best of order und lit
Ho to indicate that tho dancers were not In
their right minds. Hut little money Is ap
proprlnted In Nobraska for amusement fea
tures at tho hospitals and I hopo that the
next legislature will bo more, liberal vith
the state's Insane. ,
"In some of tho Now York institutions
tho cottngo system was tried. Doctors main
talncd that It wus not well to have co many
patients confined In buildings divided into
wards, but tho cottages were a failure. The
patients did not like to bo separatod.
Strango as It may seem, they nro better
contented when kept In lurgo companies. In
cottages tho patients got lonesome and
many of them becamo melancholy nnd lunged
to bo back where they could associato with
a large number of people.
"Nono of the Now York Institutions I vis
ited has ns extensive grounds as the Ne
braska hospltalr, but tho farms wero all
well kept nnd every opportunity Is afforded
the Inmates for outdoor cxerclso. The men
were plnylng ball and tennis nnd the women
were engaged In varlouB outdoor games. I
was told by tho superintendents that thero
Is ono nurao or attendant to every nine pn-
lents. The attendants wero to bo Keen
everywhere with tho patients and seemed to
enter Into their amusomeuts and caro tor
them us If they wero children.
'When I went to tho hospital for the
criminal insane on Dlackwells Island I sup
posed that I would find a very boisterous
nnd unrully lot, but, on tho contrary, it was
the quietest Institution I visited, Tho build
ing is old nnd is not in ns good repair as
somo ot tho other hospitals, hut tho pa
tients aro very quiet and orderly. They aro
keener and moro deceptive than tho Inmates
f other Institutions, hut nro well-behaved.
n many respects tho Nebraska hospitals aro
better than thoso In New York. Tho build
ings are nower nnd many of them aro bet
ter planned. Then tho grounds nro larger
and tho surroundings aro moro Inviting."
Mnny havo lost confidence and hopo as
well as health because they thought their
kidney disease was incurable. Poloy's Kid

THE OLD YEAR jSDYINO
Tlio cloying hours of .11)00 warranl us in ihest- expressions:
Twelve months of except ionnUy good business with
more goods sold, more dollars counted than ever before,
Trade increase has surprised uh and surprised a reat
many other people. What did it? The irresistible mag
net, of lowest, prices every day in the year is bound to at
tract the crowd, l'erfectly fair dealing, the most liberal
assortments, high organization and the command of mon
ey, brought us a wealth of trade, beyond our best antici
pations. If there are opportunities, we know of them, and
in the markets where cash is king, we are the unquestioned
leaders.
Every year adds to the betterment of our work. The
completeness and readiness of the store at, every point is
generally known and appreciated. On last New Year's
day we proclaimed a new and greater career for this busi
ness. It has been realized Trade traditions are re
versed dull seasons banished, varieties increased, goods
cheapened, service improved, money never had equal
buying power, and in many class of ways we know wo
have done you a gootl service. Our task' has been to so
perfect the art of retailing that the customer shall pay,
nearly as possible, only for the article he buys. We've
tried to work out the correct principle of ntraight forward
integrity and make the store something more than a place
to buy and sell and make money. For Hie rest, we t-ould
not tlnd words to tell of the year and its success. We let.
it pass into history, proud of what we are and thankful
for the good-will of a host of friends.
The store will be open until noon tomorrow, Januarv
1st, 1001.
