to America. The "Queen of Hearts"
is the Masons' new piece, and is rather
more rollieking and full of bright,
beautiful music. One delightful feature
Of the engagement will be the fact that
the company carries a set of special
scenery, whose height will allow it all
to be used in City Hall. which will add
immensely to the general effect of the
performances. The company supporting
the Masons is an exceptionally strong
one, and the orchestra has been enlarged
for this occasion. The sale will be very
large, and it should be borne in mind
that it commences at Stock bridges this
morning. Numbers will be given out
at $50, and the sale will commence at
9 O'Clock, and it behooves you to get

The Old Lady Got the Seat.

The seats of the car were filled and c
number of passengers were standing up as
the driver encouraged his tired horses to
push their uneven way along Van Buren,
street. A we'll dressed man of middle age
with weary look upon his striking face
cast his eyes about, and when they fell
upon an elderly woman carrying large
bundle he arose slowly and stretched his
arm forward to touch her shoulder. A
spruce appearing damsel scarcely out of
her teens, one of the sort who look out for
No. 1 under all conditions, had an observ-
ant eye for the mans movements and
quickly stole forward, with the full mental
purpose of stealing march on the old la
dy. But the middle aged man had not
passed through life without some study of
youthful feminine manners on street cars
and when she brought up in u Sitting pos
ture it was plump upon his knees. The
shock was SO great that she was projected
SO far forward before her recovery that the
old lady was comfortably resting in the
designated place, while the middle aged
man said audibly, ''These seats were not
intended to carry double. "-Chicago Trib-

Warkroonn Sale.

The ladies in charge have sold but half
their stock, and this means an empty
treasury to begin our work another season.
We wish our citizens would inform them
selves in the methods of this society. They
must fail to appreciate this work, or every
one would be glad to help. A very small
number of our prosperous and benevolent
citizens have patronized the sale, even to
buy articles for their own use. If we have
net what you want ladies and house-keepers
will you not buy something for those who
arc less fastidious in their tastes?
We must sell or deny half of our poor
women the small pittance of fifty cents a
week. You will do double charity, with q
few dollars spent here, if you buy something
tor the forty little orphans in our city
asylum. Something for the poor helpless
rnothers and unfortunates in the Tempo
rary Home and something more still for the
destitute ones under the charge of the
Gospel Mission. @
+ No not let this work fail for want of
meaas. Sale to continue Monday.

Tired Eyes.

When, after long continued application,
the eyes begin to feel as though grains of
sand were under the lids, you should i'm
mediately cease work. Rubbing will not
help matters. The trouble is simply tiny
blisters under the lid, and the longer you
use your eyes after you feel the grounds"
the worse for you. The blisters generally
go away with a few hours rest.-Kansas

probibition in south carolina.

! It has been decided finally that a pro-
| hibition law is in force in South Carolina.
Until this decision by the supreme court
/ there was great doubt, after the dispen-
sary act was declared unconstitutional,
whether or not towns and counties could
issue liquor licenses. Two test cases
were made and it has been held that no
liquor licenses can be issued.
1t is about certain that under the pres
ent state of affairs whisky and beer will
be sold surreptitiously. There will be
blind tigers" in all parts of the state
There will be more intoxicant sold, in all
probability, than if there were regularly
licensed saloons.
1t is hardly probable that the governor
will undertake to enforce the prohibitory
law. He has no means at his command
with which to enforce it, The law, as it
now stands, does not provide for con-
stables to search out and arrest those
who sell intoxicants.
The governor may regard the present
state of affairs as being much more salts
factory than if there were no prohibitory
law. Intoxicants will be sold and neither
the state, nor the counties nor the towns
will derive any revenue from their sale,
and the evils that will arise from their
surreptitious sale will be greater than if
sold under lawful restrictions
The people will receive an
object lesson that may make them more
willing than they would otherwise be to
accept any plan the governor may propose
for regulating the sale of liquors.
Whether or not the state will remain a
prohibition state is a question that can
not now be answered with any degree of
certainty. The Legislature may repeal
the present prohibitory law and enact
another that will have provisions for its
enforcement. There is a very strong
prohibition sentiment in the state. 1t
may be strong enough to give prohibition
a trial. The present prohibitory law
will, it is pretty safe to say, be practi-
cally ignored.

Is the overhead trolley to go} There
are those who answer this question in the
afnrmatiye. +. L. Kings underground
trolley system was experimental with in
Washington, d. c., last week, and was
pronounced a success from every point of
of view. His system is said 10 be very
simple and inexpensive. The conductor
is half buried in a solid bed of insulating
material, near the top of a shallow iron
conduit, thoroughly drained, in the center
OF the car tracks. This conduit is COW
cred first with continuous strip of four
ply rubber betting, the entire length of
the line, strong, flexible waterproof and
a perfect insulator. The sides of the con-
duit are lined with asphalt, and when the
cover Is down the live wire is,
therefore, inclosed absolutely with
Insulating material Upon this betting,
iron plates, nine inches long and six
wide are fastened, hinged at one end and
Tree at the other. The surface of the
iron covering is on a level with the pave
ment, and being supported underneath by
the sides of the iron trench is as firm and
durable for heavy traffic as the pavement
itself. There is no open slot. The fexi-
Die, lron-shod cover will raise alright an
giles to the street, exposing the trolley
wire. Two rollers, depending from the
bottom of the car, about three feet apart,
and running at right angles to the cover
when raised, keep a continuous space
opened full width, and in this the trolley
is suspended, making the contact with
the live wire in the same manner as with
the overhead trolley" The King system
IS estimated to cost 500 to $4,000 per
single mile, and can be put down on ex-
listing horse or electric lines without in
terfering with the traffic Even If the
King system should not prove to be an en-
tire success there will be some system in
vented soon that will supplant the over
| head system.
