Why a Singer Proposes to Leave the
Stage. . .

A New York correspondent reports the
following interview. with Miss Cary. the
popular contralto:
lis it SO that you intend leaving the stage
after this season?"
''Yes, like the stage; but would rath-
or leave five years too soon than one year
too late. don't want to outlive my fame.
I want to be remembered as good singer;
whereas, if sing on for few years longer,
I may have to leave the stage all the same
and yet not be regretted. I want people to
say, II am sorry that Cary is going to leave
the stage You see I've been singing ten
years on this stage and people may begin
to want change. They grow tired of even
the best of things if you give them to much
of them. Now. then I will have, to leave
you and show myself. hate to make my
first appearance of the evening. 1t is like
getting into cold bath: I don't suppose
I will everrget over stage fright. don't
like to appear in tights either; I suppose it
is because am an American girl. never
put on tights without thinking of the story
told about me by wicked newspaper man

ssTle Sun Do Novel,

1.-The sun do move," earnestly commended
the Rev. John Jasper, of the principal col
ored Baptist church in Richmond. Soper-
sistently did the Reverend John stick to his
views on this subject that fame and fortune
have now followed his efforts as lecturer.
His lecture is very funny and all the more
so because he is as earnest as he is ignorant
and has not the least idea that he is talking
nonsense He has made so much by lec-
turing that be- has recently been enabled to
do a good deed for his church in lifting a

grateful acknowledgement of the services Of
their devoted pastor.

EMPEROR ALExANDER's AssAssINs

EMPEROR ALEXANDER'S ASSASSINS.
Their Trial at St. Petersburg Most of them
Openly Confess their Complication in the
Crime.
The trial of the Nihi!ists implicated in the
assassination of the late car began on the 9th
inst After the reading Of the Indictment was
concluded, the president of the court asked the
prisoners whether they wished tosay anything.
Rossakoff, who threw one Of the bombs, spoke
for half an hour He said he primarily desired
to agitate peacefully, but entered into the late
conspiracy, seeing no other way out of the So
cial troubles MickaelOff, who was arrested as
he entered Rossakoff's house, said he belonged
to the terrorist faction OF the party, but denied
Rossakoff's statement that he participated in
the arrangements for the murder Of the car.
Hessy Hoffman acknowledged that she kept
conspirator's lodging house, which was the
depot for their implements, but denied having
actively participated in the czars assas sinatiou
Kibaltschitisch, the bomb maker, avowed his
connection with The Will of the Peoples party,
their wish, he said, being to gain their object
ant1y obliged to adopt terrorist measures. He
admitted preparing five bombs. Sophie Pieoff-
sky avowed her participation in the preparation
of the Mascow plot and the murder of the czar
Jeliakoff, who was the most intelligent of the
prisoners, fluently related with diaboical salts
faction the history of the two Alexandorfsky
mines He said he was at the head of one group
of the party and was charged by the executive
committee with the work of organization of the
attack by bombs, and was connected with the
Sadowa street mine as simple worker. After
these declarations the procarator stated that it
would perhaps be possible to shorten the trials.
To-day's sitting was occupied in hearing
speeches for the prosecution. In the center
of the court room are various articles of tangi-
bic evidence against the prisoners, such az
boxes Of dynamite, papers, chemicals, apparatus.
etc., placed on table, and guarded by gen

BEFORE AND AFTER MARRIAGE.
Some of the Faults on Both Sides Which
Can Easily be Avoided.

Some Of the Faults on Both Sides Which
Can Easily be Avoided.
Before marriage. the. young girl will gen,
orally know or have. some idea when the
young gentleman, will come to see her; she
takes great care to look neat and pleasing,
waiting to receive him in a tastefuily ar
ranged room. And what of the youth? No
matter how much "out of sorts" CAS- he lis
apt to term it) he may feel, he will dress in
his best, look his very best, and start for
the home of his ladylove. They meet with
. clasp of hands and pleasant smile, have
an agreeable evenings visit, then part with
kind good night. I do not say this is
wrong If there is true love in it, but how
different from the home in after years. We
too often miss the sweet face and pleasing
appearance of the young girl in the wife.
And the youth whose only aim was toplease
all the little courtesies and gentle attentions
that are needed just as much in the hus-
band as in the lover, to make home happy.
He finds many other things to look after,
and often utters harsh and thoughtless
words. You may see the wife of only a
few months in a slovenly dress, hair un-
combed, the house in disorder, and nearly
time for her husband to come home. It is
no wonder he is not happy, and may try to
give an advice sometimes. l make no ex-
cuse for her. She may have plenty to do,
and more than she can accomplish; still she
can, if she will, always look neat, and meet
her husband with a smile.
Then, n the other hand, the wife may
try to keep the sweet sirllsh ways of other
days about her, but the husband will think
to himself, sNow we are married, Mary
must noi::expect me to be the same as before.
have no time for love and loving ways now
there is so much resting on me as the head
of the house," He takes no notice Of the
neatly kept rooms, and the nice dinner just
to his taste, :and the loving wife who always
meets him at the door with smile of well
come home. He walks in with a frown
on his face, saying, I wish you would hur-
~. have not time to stop for anything to-
day, throws his hat in one corner, his coat
in another, scrapes his muddy boots on the
newly polls he'd hearth, grumbles over his
dinner, then sits and smokes for perhaps
an hour or more (yet he is in great hurry
all the while), and cant see how he can
possibly STOP to bring an armful of wood
or pail of water to help the patient wife.
And so the days go by, with never a
kind word or loving embrace, and the
wife is no longer young; her face wears q
sad expression, for in losing the love OF
her husband she has lost all, so dearly did
she love him and SO perfectly did she trust
him.. All to many are the homes Of this
kind! And why? Where is the need?
would like if some one would tell me.

Fell Against A Sharp Edge.

From the Rockford uIl.) Register.
This is furnished by Mr.. VIM Will, 1913
frankfort Ave., Philadelphia, Pa: Some
time since received a severe injury to my
back, by falling against the sharp edge of a
marble step, the stone penetrating it at
least half inch, and leaving very pain
full wound. After suffering for a time,
concluded to apply st. Jacobs Oil, and am
pleased to say, that the results exceeded
my expectations. It speedily removed all
pain and swelling and by continued use,
made a perfect cure. really think it the
most efficacious liniment ever uaed.
