Joe lye, aged 45, but plump enough to have freckles if a Chinaman would grow thrm, was tho spokesman of the party. He delivered an address of welcome which was a model, containing some seventeen words and a graceful lov at both ends. Mr. Ah Butt, Mr. Ah Guy and several others of scarcely less exclamatory title wore VI nionas, tut very full fore and aft, but Mr. Ylng ap; eared In splke-tall coat, gold bowed glasses and a close shave that mtrked him the society man of tho party. Mr. Ah Butt atoned for any shortcomings In dress by bringing with him two Jars of Chines.; lilies of much beauty. Leo Chee was much wanted In the chorus, but de clined to venture from the kitchen, where the bankets of Joy were stored and the tea pots singing In Chinese. Mr. Hue Tie, the delegate from South Omaha came late, but was In at the finish. Nearly all wore the regulation Chinese shoe and moved about with such noiselessness that r.ev. E. H.

D'Enpery Is still without a peer among the French melodramatlsts, and his story of Loule and Henrlette. the two orphan, is unequalled In the list of plays, either as an example of dramatic construction or for what. Is nowadays called "heart Inter est." It also has the essential element of "thrill." Twenty-five years ago the name of Kate Claxton was on every tongue, as sociated with a rcmarkahly successful pro duction of a remarkably successful play. But Henrlette Among all the men Is there not on" gentleman who will defend me? Marquis do Preplen I best yur pardon, but we are noblemen nnd gentlemen here. Herriette Well, then, nr.iong all vhese noblemen and gentlemen. Is there not one mr of honor who will aid a pior girl? During this scene last night, which Is one of the strongest In the play, there were two noblemen, two noble women and two supers serving as lackey on the stage. Isn't It pitiful to revive a play of such glorious memory and parade It, one might say, In Its cerements, so scantily Is It clothed? Particularly so In these times, when revivals are made the excuse for most sumptuous productions. Give the grand old play Its natural Investiture, and Kate Claxton will once more shine a star, but not amid surroundings that bring al ways to mind the poverty and squalor of the Frouchard hovel. Kate Claxton Is still Louise. Phe never had. and In all likelihood never will have an equal In the part Mary Stewart Cone, ! who Is the Henrlette of tho present cast. Is well suited In the part, and Fred M. Tllllsh la at home as the chevalier. Frank McDonald has evidently spent much time in his effort to master the role of the truculent bully, Jpcques Frouchard, and George Berthelet Is acceptable as Pierre, the crlrple, who eventually resents the name of "Cupid" long enough to kill Ills brutal but cowardly brother. Robert Craig has the comedy part of the piece, Plcard, nd If last night's performance Is an ex ample, he doesn't know what to do with It. Several others ot the cast are In the same unfortunate condition. A small matinee audience and a falr- Ized evening attendance witnessed the performance yesterday, which constituted the engagement. RECOVER STOLEN GARMENTS Police Find Eleven Thousand Dollars Worth of Fnra In Prince House. Word has been received by Chief Dona hue from Chicago that the police there have discovered a large quantity of fur garments, said to aggregate $11,000 in value, In the house In which Mrs. Nellie Prince and her husband, who ta known to the police as Robert Roberts, alias "The Guerilla," were Irving' on ' Carpenter ave nue. The noted shoplifter and Roberts were taken Into custody and with them was also arrested a woman giving her name as Miss Kimball, who Is said to be the accomplice of the Prince woman. Mrs. Prince and tho Kimball woman ware each released under $2,000 ball. The Chicago officers state that the plun der found Is a small portion of a large amount of furs which the Prince woman Is believed to have started to sell last October. It has been learned that at the time Mrs. Prluce waa arrested tor Lb .Omaha chief to answer tq a charge ot stealing furs from the Kllpatrick store, a desperate fight was put up by her and Roberts, which ended In her arrest, but not until the Interior of the house was a complete wreck. Chief Donahue atatea that no Omaha fura were found in the Prince house. PERKY TALKS ON PURE FOOD He Wants Dsmeatle Science Tanarht to the Paplla In All of Onr Public Schools. Henry D. Perky of Worcester, Mass., president and founder and benefactor of the Oread institute ot that city, lectured last night In the First Congregational church to an audience which filled the building on the subject, "The Relation and Value of Domestic Science In Education." "My two rules of health are." the lec turer said, "that you eat naturally or ganized foods and that you assimilate your food by doing good. Our educational In stitutions are perpetuating and handing down the accumulated errors of mankind. We are the product of this education and are not to blame for our sins and weak nesses, but suffer for them." Mr. Perky Is trying to stir the people to compel legislation making ths teaching of domestic science and the preparation of proper food compulsory and coincident with the mental work. He believes that persons are drunkards or even tea drinkers- be cause they do not have the proper foods, are not properly nourished and crave some stlmulent. Hia theory Is that the proper foods are those taken as nature has mads them and not separated or mixed with other Ingredients. He declares wheat flour the worst of all foods.

LONG KNOWN IN LIVE STOCK CIRCLES Identified with Sonih Omaha Market Fifteen ears Leaves Wife, a Voana; Sua aad Two Brothers. Randall Frazlcr, well known specu lator on tho live stock market here, died suddenly Thursday afternoon at his home, 2510 F street, after swallowing the con tents of a vial containing carbolic acid. Frazier was about 50 years old and, some years ago, was quite prominent in live stock circles. He had been Identified with this market for about fifteen years. Of late, after he left the employ of W. I. Stephen, he started In business as a specu lator. In this line he had varying suc cess. Of late, Business has not been so promising and III health Induced despond ency. Frazler was last seen by his friends at the exchange about 3 o'clock. He then left for his home, arriving about 3:30. A few moments after his arrival he drank the poison which caused his dVath. As soon as Mrs. Frazler found her husband suffering she ran across the street to a neighbor's and telephoned Dr. W. H. Slabaugh, who foutd Mr. Frazler dead. Vndertaker George Brewer was notified and took charge of the body. Although the coroner was notified It may be that no Inquest will be held, as from the circumstances surrounding the death, it Is Inferred that the carbolic acid was tak?n with suicidal Intent. The deceased leaves a widow and an S-year-old son: also two brothers, the latter being la Chicago at the present time. Talks Too Much. William Moore of Omaha found to his sorrow that he talks too much when he visits South Omaha. He visited the Magic City liquid refreshment resorts Wednes day and was arrested for being drunk and disorderly. When 'brought before Judge King yesterday afternoon Moore appeared penitent enough and the Judge was Just about writing an order of dismissal when Moore "broke loose." He told the Judge in language that could not be misunder stood that the people of South Omaha ought to feel flattered to have a man from the city on the north come down here' and spend a few dollars, and that he had spnt nearly $4 during the time he was out of Jail. Instead of making an entry for dis missal the Judge decided that Moore would have to serve out- a iour days' sentence. "That Is what you get for talking baok," said the Judge as the bailiff led Moore to cell belov. Not to be outdone Moore re plied that he hoped the Judge would enjoy his dinner and have a good night's sleep. I'oatal t lerka IOntertatnment.

RiiEtir.lATISn Rubbing with liniments, blistering, the application of plasters; in fact anything that will produce counter-irritation, is good f r external treatment of Rheumatism, but these simple remedies do not reach the seat of the disease nor touch the real cause, and relief is therefore only temporary. Rheumatism is due to Uric Acid and other irritant poisons in the blood, and aa it circulates through the system, these acid poisons are deposited in the muscles, joints and nerves, and exposure to night air, cold east winds, or any sudden change in the -weather, will bring on an attack, which may last for a few daj-9 or linger on for months. Every buttle with Rheumatism leaves you weaker and the' blood ia poorer condition, while the corroding acids are gradually consuming the oils and fluids that lubricate the muscles and joints, and they become stiff and some times immovable. Rheumatism, with its sharp, cutting pains, can never be conquered tintil the acid blood lins been cleansed and purified, and all in italiug substances neutralized and filtered ovtt of thc6ystem, nnd nothing does this so promptly nnd effectually ns S. S. S. Under the purifying nnd tonic effects of thia vegetable remedy the blood is not only made pure nnd strong r.gniu, but the general health is rapidly built up and the sufferer obtains' happy relief from the torturing, naggiDg pains of Rheumatism.
