Bibles or Bible headers, which ?


Rev. D. J. Givan, colporteur for
Cecil county has visited 1850 fam
lilies since last June and finds 1914
persons without Bibles. The Rev.
colporteur ADVISES liberal contribu-
ton to the cause to furnish those
with Bibles who haven't any. There
is no lack of Bibles. Any person
can get Bible who wants it. Some
families have 3 dozen Bibles and
will lend or give one to any person
who wants to read it. It is not
Bibles but readers that are lacking.
We hazard the assertion, and believe
no person who is reasonably well in
formed. will doubt it, that there are Eve
Bibles in the county TOR every Bible
reader. We don't include those as
'.readers' who will occasionally pick
up q Bible and read a verse or two
or q chapter. It is a waste of time
and money for impecunios gentlemen
to be tramping over the country
asking people to buy Bibles, and to
those who say they are not able to
buy presenting them with book II
the stock for this questionably char
table purpose can be kept up by
those who are interested in the
Bible cause contributing Of their
means"

a United States hank, said that he

Old Nursery Favorites.

There was Tom. the Son Of the Piper.
jack sprst. and Merry King Cole,
And the Three Wise Men Of Gotham,
Who went to sea in q bowii
The woman who rode on . broomstick,
And swept the cobwebbed sky.
And the boy who sat in the corner,
Eating his Christmas pie.
These were some Of the old favorites, but
they have been supplanted by the "Pansy''
and ssChatterboxn stories, "Little Lord
Fauntleroy,' and Five Little Peppers"
The old fashioned pills and physics have
been superseded, and wisely, too, by Pierce's
Purgatiye Pellets, mild, harmless and
effective cathartic. They are pleasant to
take-so gentle in their action that the most
delicate child can take them, yet so effective
that they will cure the most obstinate cases
Of constipation, stomach, liver and bowel

whether it should be done by American

Last evening was notable occasion in
musical and artistic as well as social San
Francisco. II brief, Bluff King Hal" was
produced at the Grand Opera House under
the auspices of the Art Association.
Not every day nor. for that matter, every
year does san Francisco produce an opera
composed by her own residents and ap-
proved OF the critics. The list Of musical
successes Of the past might easily be counted
on two hands.
But what greater incentives to genius
could be conceived? Here was the local
Art Association. the very home and focus
of esthetic aspiration, homeless and lacking
that essential condition Of peTmsneuce-an
income a building fund, it is understood.
was opened some years ago, but remained
pretty much in statu quo ante until the
divine ai1iatus influenced Mr.. Stewart, Nr.
O'Conuel and their kindred spirits 10
launch this elaborate opera.
From the first the idea has been hailed
with rapture by society. For years the Art
Association has, by its own innate right,
been expected to terminate the winter
season with some huge advertisement So

intended by the artists, and always smiled
upon the entertainments provided.
Therefore, despite the fac. that society is
crowded with events to take place before the
sad season, bluff King Hal' has been
generously uatronizad. The option sale Of
seats realized some $1,000, and the total sale
Of seats netted tie exceedingly handsome
amount Of between S700J and $500. Every
seat was {. ken, and with the clappiug Of
daintly gl0Yed hands and still more by
their dainty toilets and sparkling eyes, the
bellies on San Francisco testified to their
satisfaction with the monster entertain

An Investigation of the Workings of the
Eight Hour Law Ordered.
Speaker Crisp called the House to order
to-day.
A resolution was adopted directing the
Committee on Labor to investigate whether
the continuance of the eight hour law and
its enforcement is desirable, and by what
methods and to what extent the law has
been evaded; whether amendments required
to provide Tor the practical enforcement of
the law; whether any convict labor is being
used by the United States or by any con-
tractor or Sub-cOntractOr in the construction
or repair OF public works; whether the pro-
duct OF convict labor is being furnished to
any department of the Government.
The House then went into committee Of

BETWEEN THE ACTS.
Tho Flower OF San Francisco in FaIrie
Bloom.

Tho Flower OF San Francisco in Fairiest
Bloom.
When people had found their seats through
the medium Of the courteous ushers there
ensued a brief pause. Every one employed
1t looking around the house. The occupants
OF the boxes were closely scanned, and
lorgnettes Of the double barreled kind were
leveed with deadly effect
The richness Of the whole effect from
orchestra 10 gallery arrested while it charmed
the eye. The gilded youth of San Francisco
was out in all the abandon of its capacity
for enjoyment and Oakland cOntri buted her
fair quota. The ladies were generally
in the most attractive of evening
toilets, and the men sported white
ties above the regulation eXpanse Of
sn0wiest linen. How the groups chattered
and pointed out mutual acquaintance and
studied the libTe ttO-bOoks (Out Of which at
fifty cents apiece over $500 was netted) and
bent across to exchange few whispered
words with one another before the oTches-
ira ended the overture.
GREETING THE FAvORITEs.
When the curtain rolled up and the towers
appeared what applause re-eChOed TO the
dome; how the faVorites were greeted as
they appeared and how insistent were the
recalls until IL seemed that the acts would
never end, and every one would continue TO
live in romantic a tmOsphere Of outlaws,
foresters and halberdiers.
At the close Of the first act there was
storm of applause and q rush OF ushers
down the aisles with floral tributes. They
had TO wait until the chorus was repeated,
and slowly handed up enough flowers to
stock several average eOnservatories. There
were pieces Of all kinds. all daintily tied
with ribbons and directed to particular
favorites. Sweet Dorothy" ITO Leon
ard, Phyllis" were some Of the inscrip-
tioBs plainly visible.
Then there was rush by the men for
cigarette in the foyer. Every man had to
leave, If only for five minutes chat, and
the corridors were Immediately a Babel
thick with perfumed smoke. There was
W. r. Sherwood and Mountford Wilson,
General Ruger and Colonel Edwards, Lion
Sloss. Henry Heyman, George Mearns,
Greer Harrison, John N. Featherston, DR..
Regensburger, +. G. Mclean, Edward Tay-
lor, Raphael WE'LL, A. w. Rose, DIR. Craw-
ford and hundreds Of others contributing TO
the scene. Most of the men wore white
ties. but black ones were also In favor,
with boutOnnieres of various kinds and
sizes.
ANOTHER STAMPEDE.
Then there was another scattering and
rush for seats (by such who were fortuna te
enough TO have seats), and a low flush 4"
was whispered as the lights went down
and the curtain rolled up on the moonllt
scene.
The course Of the play was followed with

TIE OPERA.
a Critical Analysis Of The Stewart O. Con-
nell Work,

a Critical Analysis Of The Stewart O. Con-
nell Work.
But few, we venture to say who were
present in the auditorium 0f the Grand last
evening, when the Stewart-O'Connell To-
mantle opera, bluff King Hal" was pro-
duced, gave thought 10 the tremendous
amount Of work these gentlemen have ac-
cOmDlished in order TO please for one brief
evening that large and fashionable assem-
blage. The evolution Of an opera is a seri-
Gus thing, as it must needs be, when it re-
quiTed over a year OF patient and almost
continuous labor to compact and reduce to
s. mmetrical whole the thousand and one
random thoughts floating in the brains OF
the gifted young composers.
Surely, after the performance last even
Ing, these gentlemen are entitled to exeIaim,
and their auditors with them, "Finis coro-
nat opus" for more successful result has
seldom awaited such Grduous labor. This
remark must be taken, Of course, with the
fact borne In mini that amateurs presented
the work, and full value could not be ex-
pected 10 be given the composers ideas.
The performance was a sort Of musical
prOgnOsis, so to speak, fOretelling the pos
Bibiliries in the future, when well-trained
voices and experienced actors would be
called upon TO develop the merits Of the
scene and the libTett0.
THE SINGERS.
Great credit, however. must be given the
ladies and gentlemen who came forward 10
participate in the production Of the new
opera. Mrs. Mary Wyman-Wiliams as
Phyllis was particularly impressive in her
love duets with Mr.. Donald de Y. Graham
Ueonard), and the gentleman exerted HIM
self TO the utmost both in the concerted
music and in his svlos. The audience ap-
plauded both singers to the echo, and one en-
thuslast IN the family circle, who had prob
ably champagned it a little before coming to
