NEW STAGE SENSATION.
Une Chanteuse EIectriaue.

Une Chanteuse EIectrique.
From Electricity.
A novel and brilliant spectacle lie
being presented at the Concert Hall
OF Roster & Bal, in New York, in
which electric lighting effects are
employed in the production of q
unique stage scene. Mile. NADIA
Reyval, styled o "chsnteuse electri-
que,n com bines q number of French
songs, with q costume studded with
electric lamps OF various colors, which
flash out at intervals during her per-
Torrance. The details Of the isolated
lighting plant comprised In the Co.'S
tune of the danseuse, are carefully
guarded secrets, but sufficient can be
learned from the appearance of the
stage and the action of the singer to
explain the plans by means OF which
the brilliant effects are produced.
Her costume is festooned with rows
of miniature lamps ranging in size
from detail to the usual sixteen candle
power lamps in which various colors
alternate. On each shoulder q lamp
of the larger size is displayed, and a
cOronet of electric brilliants completes
the dazzling outfit. There are, in all,
fifty lamps lending their glowing
colors to the fairy-like scene. In the
stage floor there are set q number of
copper plates which are connected to
the housekeeping circuit, so as to
form positive and negative poles on
which the feet of the singer rest from
time to time and conductor leading
from the lamps to the sole of each
shoe complete the circuit.
During her appearance everyone,
including the regular stage hands,
are excluded from the stage, and her
manager, Herr P. Kronen, formerly
an electrician in the Berlin works of
Siemens & Halske, attends to the de-
tails of the illumination. The house
Is darkened, and q single reflector
serves to throw baZy light upon the
stage, and the singer flashes out in
brilliant colored lights at short inter-
vals Is connection is made with the
plates in the floor.
The switching Of the lights on the
singers dress is said to De partly con-
trolled by her, and partly by Herr
Kronen. 1t Is probable that the cur
rent Is thrown onto the particular
plates on which Mile. Reyval Is
standing by switches in the wing,
which the electrician may be seen rap
idly manipulating The element OF
danger is held prominently before
the pu bile, but is probably much ex.
aggersted, as there appears nothing
to be feared except q possible short
circuit on the floor plates.
Considering the fact that the house
circuit consists of an Edison 100 volt
current, the young lsdy's account Of
her sensations when the 900 volts pass
through her body, may perhaps be
ascribed to nervousness.
The effects produced by this cos
tune are, however, q very pleasing
feature to the performance, and one
which elicits the hearty applause of
the spectators.

CARoNDELET MILL ACCEDEs.
Another Point Gained by the Mill
Hands-Painters' Practical
Sympathy


Sympathy.
st Louis Globe Democrat.
Tuesday morning the owners of the
Csrondelet Planning Mill scceded to
the demands of the strikers, agreeing
to give their employees ten hours pay
for nine hours work. The mill en-
ployes twenty-five men. The scale
was agreed to too late in the day for
the men to go to work, but all were
notified during the afternoon, and
accompanied by Chairman John
Green, OF the Executive Committee,
will proceed to the mill in body
this morning. The concession of this
mill has given the strikers renewed
confidence. A member of the EXecu-
tive Board said yesterday afternoon:
Though all the mill owners are
presenting a good front they are in far
worse condition than they would have
US believe. The loss on their invest
ments is heavy even if it did not cost
money to maintain the mills in idle
ness. When the strike was declared
they had more work on hand than
they could turn out with tull forces
of skilled union men and it does not
look reasonable that they can do just
as we'll with only handful of mex.
perienced men. We do not claim
that we are not losing money, too but
we have regular pay day every
Tuesday and each man gets enough
money to cover his weeks expenses.
We were all paid off today, and the
men are as firm on the stand they
have taken, after six weeks of idle
ness, as they were on the first day OF
the strike"
Mr.. Breckenridge of the Phoenix
mill, said yesterday that at the meet
ing of the mill owners thirty.three or
thirty four representatives were pres
ent. Four out of fifteen mills were
reported to be running full handed,
and eleven others were running, but
not with q full quota OF men. MIR.
Breckenridge said that the mills are
running ten hands, and are employing
additional men daily. In one mill
in another three more have taken
positions. The mill owners. he says,
are determined To defeat the demand
for 10 per cent increase.
At q meeting of Painters and Deco
rators' Union No 1856 on Monday
night resolution was passed declsr.
ing that mem bers of the union would
not handle any of the product OF the
plsning-mills which are holding out
against the strikers and employing
non union men. A donation OF money
for the support of the strikers and q
vote OF sympathy were also passed.
In case the painters are called upon
to work with non union made nateri-
al, they will refuse to do so.

you were pleased with it.
FARMER-Them stories you had in about
them fellers bein' cured of long-standin' dis
eases were the entertainingist bit of news
Pve read for long time-P1tck
You'd believe in patent medicines if they
didn't profess to cure everything
And, you can't always tell the prescription
that cures by what you read in the papers
So, perhaps, there's no better way to sell
remedy, than to tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doing just what it pro-
fesses to do
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is not
" "cure-GU," but is only adapted to those
diseases peculiar to women. It fulflls
singleness Of purpose, being a perfect spe-
clfc in all chronic weaknesses, functional
and painful disorders peculiar to tho sex
It's powerful, invigorating tonic, and

SUM-PUNK'S RULING.
How q Wise Man Settled an Estate to
Everybody,s Satisfaction.

EVerybody's satisfaction.
A Chinaman died. leaving his property
by viii to his three sons, as follows: To
Fum-Hum, the eldest. one-half thereof,
and TO Nun-Pin, his second son, one
third thereof, and to Dingbat, his young
est, one-ninth thereof. When the prop
erty was inventoried it was found to con-
sist OF nothing more than seventeen Gle
plants, and it puzzled these three heirs
how to divide the property according to
the terms of the will without chopping
up some of the elephants, and thereby
seriously impairing their value.
Finally they applied to wise neighbor,
Sum-Punk, for advice. Sum-Punk had
an elephant of his own. He drove it into
the yard with the seventeen and said:
Now, we Will suppose that your father
left these eighteen elephants. Fun Hum,
take your half and depart" So Fun
Hum took nine elephants and went his
way.
"NOw, Nun-Pin." said the wise man,
take your third and 60" So Nun-PIn
took six elephants and followed FUN
Hum.
Now, Dingbat," said the wise man.
take your ninth and begone." So Ding
bat took two elephants and disappeared
Then Sum-Punk took his own elephant
and drove him home again.
Query: Was the property divided ac-
cordlng to the terms ofthe will?
