Mrs. Sktf Very HI.

Mra. Skif, wife of Dr. Paul Skiff, lies critically ill of typhoid fever at her home on Chapel street. Mrs. Skiff was taken sick at MT. Moody's Northfield convention about two weeks ago. When she reached home she steadily grew worse until with in the last few days her fever took cere- bial turn. For the past twenty hou IS Mrs. Skiff's condition has been unchanged, and it will be impossible to judge her chances of recovery before the case has al- tered for the better or worse. By strange coincidence Mrs. George c. Stebbins, the singer evangelist, who accompanied Mrs. Skiff, was also seized with typhoid fever at Northfeld.

Entertainments


 "The Danger Signar' was presented last evening to small but very enthusiastic audience, and repeated it's triumph of last season. The play has been rewritten es- pecially to fit the particular talents of Miss Rosabel Morrison, who is the star of the company. Miss Morrison is perhaps better known to American theater goers from her characterization of Marguerite" in Lewis Morrison's great production of "Faust." " In this part Miss Morrison made splendid reputation, and is universally acceded to be it's ideal. Those who saw her last night will not gainsay her claim to consummate skill and excellence as 8 finished actress. The character of "Rose Martin" in "The Danger Signar' gives her an opportunity to display her great versatility. Miss Nor. rison is supported by an excellent com pany. The play will be repeated this evening.
 "Through by Daylight" will be presented tomorrow evening, and ''Jim, the West erner" Saturday afternoon and evening. HYPERION THKArKR. Daniel Sully's new play, 'The Million,
 aire," will be presented in this city for the
 first time at the Hyperion theater this and tomorrow evenings. The play abounds in many strong scenes and gives scope fol MT. Sully's talents. who assumes the lead. ing role of James O'Brien. On the whole the piece is regarded as one of the best in which MT. Sully has ever appeared. His support is said to be good.

 "The Charity Ball'' is due Friday. GRAND OPERA HOUSE. "Held by the Enemy' is here again this evening and for the balance of the week. Since it's last production here it has been materially changed for the better. The war pictures are more vivid and truthful than ever, the dialogue bright and spark ling and the scenic effects all that the most exacting can require. This play is g strong one, well out of the much worn path of modern efforts. It has been fav l orably received throughout the country
 and is deservedly popular, while the com pany presenting it is composed of the bes l of people. There are no particular stars but each individual fills his or her allotted part, giving an evenness to the entirety. "An American Boy'' is due the first hall | of next weok.

Golden tan Kid gloves are worn by gen.
tlemen in the street, when making calls,
and at church. At morning weddings the

stitching of black or self color. Mems
gloves are of glace kid, and are fastened by
two buttons.
Patent leather and fine calfskin shoes
worn by men of fashion have the round
French toe instead of those with sharply
pointed toes lately in vogue Walking
shoes are high about the ankle, and are
laced or buttoned, as the wearer prefers.
Low shoes, laced on the instep, are entirely
of patent leather, and indeed all very
dressy shoes, whether high or low, are Of

gans are still preferred for wearing, either
with high or low shoes. Tan colored,

Barley for Mailing.

Mckinley doubled the duty on barley
Under the pretenca that it would help
farmers. The barley which came into
.he country under the old law was used
~ making malt for brewing beer, the
barley of the colder climate of Canada
being much more suitable for mailing
purposes. A writer in the Wisconsin
Agriculturist purs the matter in this
way: Barley culture for mailing pur-
poses has never been profitable in this
country for several reasons. Maltsters
do not buy it 50 long as they can get En-
glish or Canadian barley for reasonable
rates, but when these crops fail they
sometimes fall back upon the American
product. The result IS that farmers
have allowed the crop to fall into disre-
pute. and the final conclusion has been
reached that it is not paying crop. that
the foreign grain uutsells the home prod,
uct owing to better soil and climate"

THE Chicago Herald intimst that the
recent wholesale discharge of conductors
on the Illinois Central may result in
trouble 10 it's issue of Thursday it says:
Whether the discharge of number Of
conductors by the Illinois Central railroad
company without any reason being given
will cause trouble or not will be deter
mined in few days. Conductor Quinn,
who is one Of 1.-THE committee examining
into the matter, said that he did not
know exactly what action the Order of
Railway conductors would take. The
matter would have to be brought before
the different divisions of the order. and
when they arrived at decision 1t would
be reported 10 the executive committee.
1t might be that a special meeting OF the
order would be called. and if so would be
held in Chicago in about 10 days. He
was not at liberty TO divulge any CONVEX
sation that had been had with Supern =
tendent Sullivan but he would say that
the conductors were not discharged for
unsatisfactory service. Superintendent
Sullivan said that he did not care 10 dis
cuss the matter. The men had been S.
charged for good and sufficient reasons,
but he would not state what they were.
He would say, however. that it was not
on account of unsatisfactory service.
