THE EVILS OF BILL-PosTING.

81 pay my bill-poster more than any
leading man; he is Il more important
feature in the success of my show, and
am willing to bet that my play is billed
equal to Barnums circus" These words
l quote literally from a so-called actor,
who was cleaning in diamonds yester-
day on Union Square. One hardly knows
whether to laugh at the insult offered a
noble profession or to resent it.
Anyhow, it seems high time to call at
tention to this nuisance and to point out
the remedy. 1t is important that we have
more on the inside of the playhouse and
less on the outside. | say, take these
millions of dollars that are now thrown
away on dead walls for the diversion of
billy-goats and small boys annually and
pay the legitimate actor, instead OF the
bill-poster. Why cannot a legitimate
show be run in this country as it is on the
continent or in the provincial town of the
British empire? 1t can be, and it must,
sooner or later. For the people are al
ready coming to see pretty clearly that
the bigger the bills the smaller the play.
And this is the remedy advise: Some
years ago, when in Brazil, an American
show opened with flaming posters at the
capital.
"Where is the man who plays the
scene on the yellow bill?'
"Oh! wal, that man is sick, drawled
the American. "Produce your DOCTORS
certificate or return the people their
money" replied the magistrate, "and
consider yourself under arrest for obtain
ing money under false pretenses." This
is the law and the enforcement of it in
Brazil
And lay it down as the law here,
that if any one is induced to go to any
theatre by the bills and does not find in
that theatre all that is advertised on the
bills, he can demand and must receive
back his money any time. And not only
that, but it is his right, his duty, to have
the swindling manager arrested and
punished for obtaining money under
false pretenses. This is remedy
earneftly recommends Joaquin Miller,
in Philadelphia Press.

CREMATION IN ENGLAND.

DR.. Cameron has given notice in the
House of Commons of his intention on
an early day next session to introduce Il
bill legalizing cremation. In the event
of an outbreak OF cholera in this country
before the close of the year the question
of cremation, which has of late attracted
but little attention, will probably again
be revived and be taken into serious
consideration. Meantime the ordinary
form of burial holds its ground, and
there are no symptoms as yet OF Il
change OF public feeling in this respect.
Cremation would have better chance
of speedy adoption if few prominent
members of the upper classes would
kindly give directions for the burning o.
their remains after decease. If once
the notion became prevalent that te
burn dead bodies rather than bury them
was the right thing to do from $3.50
ciety" point Of view, the relatives and
friends of deceased persons would rush
to the furnace by myriads. The burn
ing of one dead duke wonld do more tt
promote cremation than all that can be
urged in favor of the practice by funeral
and sanitary reformers.

A TIME TO BE GRAVE.

There are times when we should be
the city has ,sustaned in the destruction
of our exposition building, together with
such personal hopes as were based on
large advertising contract which, the
same, fell in with the rooi-wc feel that
this is such time.
We stood and watched the magnlii-
cent building in the Respondent glory OF
its last moments. Tempered with
thoughts OF the vast destruction that was
being wrought, the Incompatible gran
deur OF the scene, the great sheets OF
fame that shot up into the very doom
of heaven, dispelling from the earth
for miles around the shadows OF the
night, the rushing whirlwnds OF fire,
the falling in OF the great engines OF
Machinery hall, the surging OF the
crowd, and the shouts OF the firemen,
all were powerless to awake i'll us that
excitement that is usually born OF such
scenes, and under which men dare to
do brave deeds. No. We stood and
saw the man rush into the scethlng
furnace, make his way past the rare
coin display, the eXhib T. of two jewell
ers where were thousands OF dollars
worth OF diamonds, past the display OF
costly seal-skins, and from the very
brink of an awful death seize coil OF
wire and make his way out in safety
We stood and watched a man rush down
from the crowd on South avenue, with
bride in hand and endeavor to lead
away from danger the wooden flying
horse that stood with head thrown
back from the terrible heat, apparently
poweress in fright. We stood midway
i'm the quarter of mile OF splendid
buildings while only the rafters and
studding- posts remained outlined IN
fire, and saw six men labor with AK
and crowbar, as though it was to save
the universe, and they wrenched from
its place single length of the railing
that divided the race-track from the
ball ground. The effect was to check,
by breaking connection, the fire that
was leisurely making its way along this
railing. We saw little man who had
S., 900 in the burning building stand
and with calm but malignant eyes, pa
tiently and fixedly watch these laborers
until they had loosened the old rail
and thrown it down upon the race-track.
We saw him then go and stoop down
before the men, while they breathed
heavily from their exertions, pick up
the rail and carry it carefully away to
the fire and cast it in. We saw the
great buildings fade away while the
delicate trellis work where had been
the fiery bombardment of Alexandria
a few hours before, remained within a
stones throw, intact and unscathed.
We stood on Rebecca street amid a
crowd of female college girls, and when
the cupole fell in, saw them weep-aye,
weep-for the destruction OF beautiful
lace shawl which they knew to be on
exhibition. We stood and saw al
these things unmoved, for we felt that
it was a time to be grave.-[Ghilhooly's

ABOUT DRUGGISTS.

All druggists should be honorable gentlemen
and we are inclined to believe the majority of
them are; but there are what is called BLACK
sheep in all professions. We came across one
of the latter class not long since. While in
his store a customer asked for Ammen's Cough
Syrup. AS the druggist was doing it up for
him he said: 9 have a preparation which |
can recommend as better than this" The man
said: 81 will take that then, but my friends
have spoken so highly Of Ammen's Cough
Syrup thought | would try it." Now, the
writer having used Ammen's Cough Syrup, and
knowing its virtues, also knowing the manu-
facturer, and that he put it on the market for
the benefit of mankind, as well as for the sake
of gain, had some curiosity tn learn why the
druggist preferred to sell some other remedy to
it, SO we asked him why it was. Imagine
his reply He said: "Why, ! make just
eight cents more on the bottle 1 sold HIM than
| would have made on Ammens." j said:
"Oh, that's it." eyes," he says, always
recommend and try to sell what pays me the
largest profit Comment is unnecessary
Let us hope there are but few like him in the
drug business. Meeting the customer few
days later, and desiring to know if that kind
of business paid we mentioned the clrcum.

cine the druggist recommended did him any
good He said, g No, | used about one-third
Of it and threw it away; then went to another
drug store and bought a bottle of Ammens
Cough Syrup, which cured my cold" We
asked: "Why did you 90 to another drug

spend another cent with that man"
