Tony Pastor, of New York, who is now
with his inimitable variety combination,
making tour of the principal cities OF the
Union, is recognized as the leading char
acter vocalist and variety performer of the
United States He owns and runs fist
class theater on Broadway, New York city
and has gathered about him the best troupe
Of variety artists that could be obtained
The company has just completed a brilliant
engagement at the Walnut Street Theater,
Philadelphia, and after the present tour
they will reappear in Tony Pastors own
theat''r in New York city. Mr.. Pastor is
the originator of his peculiar school Of
character singing, and has made himself
Immensely popular, having realized by his
talents a large fortune.
The writer of this article" met Mr.. Pastor
recently at the Bingham House, in Phila-
delphia, and found him as genial in private
as he is amusing before the public. During
our conversation inquired as to his physi-
cal health, and he replied that, notwith-
standing the strain upon him in the dis
charge of his professional duties, it was
excellent. He had occasionally severe
pains, either the result of rheumatic attacks
or colds, but any complaints of that char
acter never troubled him long, as he had
found out remedy for all such annoying
affections. | asked him what the remedy
was, and he replied, "St. Jacobs Oil" !
then learned from Mr.. Pastor that he con
sidered the Great German Remedy an
excellent preparation for the cure or relief
OF rheumatism, and that it was about the
only thing used among professional people
tor that distressing complaint. He took
bottles OF it with him whenever he went
travelling, and would not be without it, and
knew that it was very popular vii a num-
ber OF members Of his own company. A
conversation held subsequently with vari-
GUS members of the organization revealed
the fact that st. Jacobs Oil had been per
forming most invaluable service for them
in the way of curing them of rheumatism
Nearly every artist in the troupe used it,
and was enthusiastic in its praise, and the
writer was really forced to the conclusion
that Tony Pastor was certainly in luck in
having so valuable an article known and
employed by his inimitably good company
OF performers, for it enabled every one to
be always in his place, thus insuring com.
fort to the management and genuine salts
faction to the public. Tony Pastor would
certainly be in trouble without st. Jacobs
Oil At least, other managers whose artists
have been temporarily unsupplied have
noticed the difference between St Jacobs
Oil in stock and St. Jacobs Oil out of stock
among the members OF their compani s. -

A Death.Dealing Cyclone.

~ terrific cyclone swept over the town Of
DrUWnsvllle Saline county, Mo-, at 4;30 O'Clock
IN the afternoon The entire business portion
OF the town was demolished and seven persons
were were kllled and between twenty and thirty
others badly injured. The storm came up so
suddenly that the first intimation the people
had was sudden roaring sound, which was
immealately followed by the appearance of a
large, black, funnel. shaped cloud, com
ing from. the southwest, at the rate
OF at least 100 miles per hour.
When the cloud was first noticed
tant, and perhaps fifty yards above the earth.
When 1t reached the western part of the town
it dropped down almost to the ground, and
seemed to draw everything within q radius of
several hundred yards up into the mouth of the
funnel. 1t swept through the town, laying
everything to waste in its path. Two-story
brick business houses were picked up
like straws and whirled and twisted
into shapeless ruins. Frame dwellings were
carried some distance and dropped, smashing
them into fine kindling wood. Heavy timbers
were carried several hundred yards through
the air, and, falling end downward stuck sew
eral feet into the ground. Occasionally the
funnel seemed to strike the earth, and would
rebound some distance into the air, only to
fall again and continue its work of destruc-
tion.
The storm lasted less than two minutes
but during the short space of time about
twenty business houses and dwellings were
leveled to the ground. The storm came up so
suddenly that the people had no time for
preparation, and, in fsct, scarcely any one
knew what was coming until the storm was
upon them. The people in the streets were
picked up and carried various distances and
hurled to the ground dead or bruised, almost be-
yound recognition, while those in the buildings
were buried by the falling walls and debris. For
some time after the storm passed the people who
were uninjured were 80 terribly excited that
nothing could be done. When they at last re-
covered from their CONSERVATION search for the
dead and wounded was commenced. 1t was
at first supposed that at least fifty persons had
been killed. hut a thorough search revealed
that only seven had been killed outright.

A Zuni Council.

The Zunis delight in a council.
These councils are frequently held,
there being no specified intervals oil
time for their ses sions. They are
Legislatures and courts in one, and
furnish an extremely interesting
pictura of parliamentarism in Its
primitive form. When council is
deemed necessary, the governor
orders his herald tC summon it. At
sunset. when the air is quiet, the
GERALD stands upon the highest house
top in ZIfli--a statuesque figure
against the clear sky-and utters the
cal in loud, measured, and reso-
nAnt voice. The women all hear it,
and the tidings quickly spread, so
that in the evening there is sure to be
d good attendance. The herald an
swers for the newspaper in Zu1i, for
all proclamstions and items of news
deemed of general im portsnce are an.

One evening about hundred of the

governor had strewn a 10. of corn

out, cigarettes were rolled, and a cor
slant smoking was kept up. The air
would have been thick enough had
rot the large fire-places given such
excellent ventilation. The women
and young men gathered respectfully
around the doors and windows and
listened. As the evening wore on the
room grew warm, and tue men grad

half the assemblsge sat with naked
bodies OF rudy bronze hue. AS 1t
