THEATERS CONDEMNED.
Rev. E. E. Tarbill breaches a Sermon
Against the Stage.


A large congregation was present
at the Methodist church yesterday
morning to hear Rev. i. Z. Tarbill on
the subject 1.-THE Theater and the
Christian. He condemned the stage
in unmeasured terms and said that rs
IA rule all Theatrical performances are
immoral in their tendency. He called
attention to the pictures on the bill
boards Of town put up to advertise
the show last week as shameful and
indecent, the lack Of clothes there ex-
hibited being the chief reason Of his
condemnation He quoted the disci-
pline and resolutions Of the church in
opposition to theater-going and de-
clared that the consistent Christian
could not be theatcr-goer.

CREEDON rs ALL RIGHT,
No Reason Why He Should Not Give
Fitzsimmons q Hard Fight.

The story is new going the rounds
Of the papers about Dan Creedon's at
tack Of muscular rheumatism and how
he cured II 1t in time to train for his
contest with Fitzslmmons, which
takes place in New Orleans, on Sept.
28, has aroused no little discussion in
the sporting circles.
Creedon's own version Of it as told
to reporter Of the ST. Louis Chronicle,
in the presence Of his hacker and man
ager Col. John D. Hopkins, was to the
effect that he first took cold by going
from the stage in perspiration to q
cold dressing room. The trouble
progressed rapidly and when ordinary
remedies didnot verelief, physicians
were called but they also failed to hit
upon the right treatment. By this
time his muscles were swollen and his
joints so stiff as to make him utterly
useless.
It was now apparent that something
out Of the ordinary must be done or
Creedon's days as a pugilist were
numbered.
10 make matters worse Crcedon
had lucrative engagement to help
train Jim Corbett for his fight with
Mitchell, which he would have to give
up. COL Hopkins at last discharged
the physicians and took the case in
his own hands. lie prescribed DIR.
Williams Pink Pills which Crcedon
took with the best results, Us is shown
by the fact that a short time after
ward he started for jacksonville, Fla,
to train Corbett. He withstood the
change Of climate and has had no re-
turn of the trouble.
That's the rheumatism story in a
nutshell and anyone wishing to back
Creedon in the coming contest need
give the rheumatism no second
thought.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills have not
only proved an iniallibe specific for
muscular rheumatism but some Of the
most noted pugilists and athletes
have found in them n sure method Of
of creating new blood and new tissue.
