racked with pain from a lame back, or
from the soreness arising from a cold,
they will spend any amount Of money
to relieve the pain. II they only had

At the first sign Of stiffness OF the joints
apply one Of these plasters without any

FOY WAS NOT KILLED.
A REPORT THAT CAUSED sENsA-
TIoN LAST NIGHT.
1t Probably Originated Through the
Shooting of Joy, at Park City
Particulars Wired For.

send full particulars of shooting OF
Eddie Foy at Sale Lake"
This was the substance of the in
|structions received by the Salt Lake
representative of the Chicago papers
last night. At the very time these
dispatches were received here, the in
|in1itable Foy was delighting a big aud
fence at the theatre, and kilograms
created quite a sensation among the
atrical and newspaper people here. Ot
course it was quite evident that the
eastern papers had been nisinformed,
but it was thought there might be
some foundation in fact for the re-
port. An investigation proved that
this was not the case.
Mr.. Foy has been suffering from a
cold ever since his arrival here, and
yesterday did not even leave his room
at the Cullen until it was time for him
to go to the theatre. The gentleman
was seen by a Herald reporter after
the performance, but neither he nor his
friends could suggest an explanation
for the report, until some one called
attention to the shooting Of the man
JOY, at Park City. The conclusion was
Immediately reached that the name
Joy had been received at Chicago as
Foy, and that this was the cause of
the whole trouble.
Mr.. Foy was not at all pleased over
the circumstance, as he has a mother
and two sisters residing in Chicago,
and feared that the report would reach
them before it could be contradicted.
This is not the first experience the
genial comedian has had in learning of
his own death. Last year a man
named Foy dropped dead in Chicago,
and although Foy was at the time
playing in Philadelphia, his obituary
was sent all over the country.

Any person who makes away with
such things that have been furnished

where drilling is taught may parade
with arms under the superintendent
of their instructors and may take part
in any brigade or regimental encamp-

the provisions of the act. They will

A BuRsTEp WATER PIPE.
The Union National Bank Building
Perhaps Seriously Injured.

Shortly before O'clock this morning a
water pipe in front of the Union National
bank burst, and the water at once COM
menced flowing into the basement in tor
rents In a little while the sidewalk COM
nenced to settle and Officer Schultz, fear
ing some one might be injured, stretched
a rope across the sidewalk.
AS soon as possible, word was sent to
the superintendent of water works in
order to have the water shut off, but be-
fore this could be accomplished the base
ment under the bank was completely
filled, and a quantity of water also poured
into the basement under Hogle's saloon.
The accident will result in considerable
damage, not only to the material in the
bank cellar, but to the foundation as WELL
and it may rui the sidewalk
It was proposed this morning to use the
steamer from the fire department to pump
the water out of the Easements and this
will doubtless be done.

THE "PRoMPTv BOX.
Every German Theatre Has a Little
Hood near the Front of the Stage.

Hood near the Front of the Stage.
In every German theatre may be
seen a box, shaped something like
a hood, in the center of the stage close
to the footlights.l In this box dwelIs
a prompter, who reads every word of
the play or opera out loud. keeping
about ten words ahead of the PLAYERS.
1t is because of this system of prompt
ing that in German theatres myster-
ious voices are never heard issuing
from the wings, nor does an actor
pause in the middle of sentence, and
after a brief interval of intense ST.
lence utter the German equivalent Of
Give me the word, can't you?" This
prompter is usually a woman, because
the female voice is sharper and more
penetrating than the male, and if a
deep-voiced Teuton were to pour forth
from the hood a continuous stream of
gutturals, the sound would fill the en-
tire theatre. The reason for keeping
up this custom of repeating every
word of the drama aloud may be
found in the frequent changes of bill
which German theatre goers demand
of their managers, and in consequence
the actors are accustomed to rely on
the prompter in way that an Amer
lean player would never think of. For
this reason it IS considered risky
thing to withdraw the prompter even
after the piece has enjoyed an extra
ordinary run, and Just now local Ger
man circles are eagerly discussing the
rumor that the prompter will soon be
withdrawn from the stage of the
Eighth Street theatre, where 1.-THE
Corner Grocer of Avenue A. is enjoy
ing the longest period of prosperity
ever known in the history of local
German plays. OF course the prompter
will not be withdrawn permanently,
because that would be regarded as too
hazardous an experiment, but only in
honor of some gala occasion such as
the 150th representation of the farce
when the prompt box will be removed
and the actors will play their parts
with the same air of proud, self conf

oquist who wears no moustache to
deceive the public.-NeW York Sun.
