The Werts Registration.

1t is rue hat the registration as
provided for by the Werts bill is ex-
pensive, but it seems to us it is worth
avery cent 1t costs. Why democrats,
above all, should object to it is incom-
prehensible to US.
The last election showed clearly
how fraudulent and faulty registra-
ton was an underlying element of
election abuses, not in the awful
Hudson alone, where democrats might
be supposed to be the beneficiaries,
but ali over the State, and nowhere
more than in the hayseed regions
where the good slowgoing folk are
still voting for the Fourteenth
Amendment.
The ballot law needs some changes
in mechanical details in the interest
of simplicity. More facilities ought
TO be allowed TO Independent candi-
dates. The printing of the tickets
ought to be simplified by emitting
the voting precinct from the endorse
ment, and one or two other trifiing
improvements perhaps ought to be
made. But not one Of the vital pro-
visions OF the Law should be altered

Christine Nilsson, the Swedish song
stress, has joined the great army of
martyrs-the stout women fasters
who would mortify and reduce the
flesh. She is rapidly approaching the
condition of the renowned Nine. Bla-
vatsky, though much of her time is
spent in outdoor exercise, and
her diet consists largely of
pickles and hot waters. The
self-denial practiced and the
suffering endured by stout women in
their attempts to stay the work OF the
destroyer would, if devoted to some
grand object, he considered heroic.
The spectacle of the Casinos AIRY,
fairy Lillian" earning $4,000 a week
and dining off burned bread and a
broiled bird, with nothing to drink,
of her sacrificing the delights of late
suppers, and swathing herself in
sweaters" for her daily promenade
isn't nearly as funny to Lii
liam as to the people who read
about it. The determination dis
played by the luxurious Miss Pauline
Hall getting out of bed earlier than a
car driver to propel a bicycle along
the Mall in the cherries dawn is only
equaled by that of the great African
explorer. And hundreds of pretty
women, whom the gods have given
wealth and place, devoted husbands,
and all the new bonnets they want,
find life scarcely worth living because
they mustn't eat anything they like
or drink when they are thirsty.

"a Midnight Bell' at the Academy.
Hoyt's comedy, "a Midnight Bell
gave the audience at the Academy Of
Music last night all the amusement
they could wish for. This play is a
true picture of country life with the
many ludicrous phases of 1T portrayed
with a n~aturalness that anyone who
has ever spent any time in the back
woods cannot but recognize the
people and the incidents. 1t is just
what everyone has seen, and enjoyed
in reality. The time occupies but one
day, and the four acts with which the
day is filled out are teeming with fun.
An excellent cast presented the play
last evening, many of them belonging
to the original company. The Dea-
con Tidd of George Richards is a
clever bit of character acting and has
won him well deserved praise. Eugene
Garfield, as the country boy, Martin
Tripp,n was given an enthusiastic well
come and received several encores for
his song, when Papa was a Boy
Like Me-"
T. J. Herndon was a good Squire
Olcott, and Frank Lane. as Napier
Keene the lawyer, vas most accept
able. Miss Fannie Mcintyre was ex-
cellent as Nora, and Dot was well done
by Percy Haswell. The rest of the
support was very good, and the per-
Torrance one of the best that the
Academy has had this season.
If you want a good laugh go and
see THE Midnight Bell", which will
be at the Academy all the week.

Tne Care of the Brooms.

uliOtutT.
The Care of the Broom
The rapidity with which brooms
ordinarily wear out is surprising.
This is partly due to leaving the
broom standing on its brush end
when not in use, but more to care
lessness in handling. A piece of
strong cloth, or, better yet, of old
woven under flannel or stockinet,
should be drawn on over the handle
and down below the place where the
broom splints are stitched. A few
stitches with strong cotton yarn
should fasten this cover both at its
lower edge and gather and fasten it
around the handle, sewing the stitches
through and through. This cover
holds the broom splints together, and
prevents their breaking out and the
tearing off of the banding of a broom
which repeated striking against doors
and mop boards and reaching under
heavy pieces of furniture does. -Hdr-
peT'S Bazaar,
What Is and What Is Not Good Form.
Small points of etiquette which THE
books seldom mention are constantly
cropping up to disturb the mind of
the rural dweller and the novice in
city life. Harper'S Bazaar aids some

A card to an ordinary reception
does not require an acceptance. An
invitation formally requesting the

an affair do not lessen the obligation
of a call. You should at least leave a
card upon the person before inviting
her to your reception. 1t is polite to
include your friends guest
There is no settled rule in the mat
ter, but mourning dress for a parent
is usually worn a veal. HEAVY black

small entertainments are then at

A groom furnishes nothing but
gloves. ties and, if he so wish, favors

invitations are out-that idea is a

Dyspepsia


Makes many lives miserable, and often leads to
self destruction. Distress after eating, sick head
ache, heartburn, sour stomach, mental depres-
sion, etc, are eansed by this very common and
increasing disease. Hoods sarsaparilla tones the
stomach, creates an appetite, promotes healthy
digestion, relieves sick headache, clears the
mind, and cures the most obstinate cases of dys-
pepsia. Read the following: q

TOWNS SHAKEN UP.

Two thousand Gallons OF 0asoline Ex.
piodc Near Newport, KY, with Startling
Eject.
CINCINNATI, June 1o. = Those who
were abroad at an early hour were sur
prised by a sudden glar: in the south
ern heavens. 1t was clear,
bright light, SO bright in fact that
people on Vine street as far up as the
canal could easily read a newspaper.
Its appearance caused some excite
ment, and the entire fire depart
ment was aroused through the ac-
ton of various policemen, who
thought a fire had sprung up in or
upon their beats. Investigation de-
veloped the fact that the glare was
caused by the explosion of the tank of
gasoline on the tracks of the Louisville
& Nashville railroad ut Wilders Station,
about mile back of Newport. Ky. The
tank was one of the tubular affairs
that are carried on cars. and con-
tanned at least 1000 gallons of the in
fiammable stuff. Just what caused the
explosion is not known, but it is
probable the excessive heat of
the day caused volatile gas to
ascend, which was ignited by a
spark from an engine. The explo-
sion woke up every sleeper in
Newport. Dayton and Covington. Re-
ports from various villages at an early
hour state that the force of tie shock
was felt for 10 miles around. A COM
pany of Newport tiremen was dis
patched to the scene to look after the
surrounding houses.
