Sleep.
andrew Stoke of Pottsville, Pa, is
lsboring under most peculiar halluci-
nation. and his case has baffied the ply
eicians. A few weeks ago he was an in
dustrious miner, but about seven days
aQo he declared that he was intensely
Wicked, and since that time has prayed
incessantly, not stopping to eat or sleep.
He imagines his bedroom is filled with
nngels and spirits of departed ones.
He declares he must keep praying in
order to keep the evil spirits from seiz-
ing him. When no steps into his bed
room, he holds his Bible with death
Ike grip to his breast, fearful lest it be
wrested from him.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Katharine Rober.

Last evening, Miss Katherine Robe1
took benefit at Portland theatre, ap-
pearlng in the comedy of "The1 Buckeye u
Miss Rober was particularly happy in
the part of Mary Jane, the orphan asylum
waif. 1t is in these characters that she
Is natural and easy and carries her audi
once 18th her completely. A remarkably
good scene was that in the first act,
where she eats the supper given her by
the rich Mr. Walling and tells about
herself, and her capture of the burglar
aroused the audience to great enthusiasm
and they called the curtain with will.
But We might instance many other
scenes. 1t is enough to say that from the
beginning to the end Of the play there
was thorough accord between actress
and audience. The other characters in
the play were well taken, and Miss Viola
O'Neil and Mr. John Weber gave several
musical selections. There was fine
audience present. including many theatre
parties
The last two performances Of the Rober
company will be given today when
Chameleon" will be given at the matinee
and Little Detective'' in the evening.
Sousa's Band.
The appearance of Sousa and his famous
band of fifty eminent musicians at City
hall on the afternoon and evening of May
9, will be one of the events of the musical
season. Who is there who does not know
OF Sousa and his magnetic marches? They
constitute the natural national marches
of America and teem with the spirit of
this great republic. If for no reason other
than his marches Sousa is entitled TO the
consideration Of every music lover in the
United States. Bus there is another
claim equally as strong. Sousa stands
as the conductor of one of the
greatest concert bands known to-day. In
the words Of Gilmore, that great and
gifted lender-when asked his opinion of
the Marine band under Sousa's leader
ship" The United States Marine Band
under Sousa's leadership stands today I'M
rivaled on the Ameri Gan continent"
There is always an especial interest at
taohed to the coming of Sousa's band. 1t
arouses the musical enthusiasm of the
classicist as well as of the worshiper of
the lighter and popular melodies. The
virtue of Sousa is his catholicism in
music. He is at home in all schools and
plays all things well. Included in his
programmes ale his own yirile marches
which are nnapproached in the realm of
march music. The band is now playing
in superb form and the praise of public
and press is more laylshly bestowed upon
the organization and its matches leader
than ever.
The soloists will be Miss Myrta French
and Miss Tracy, both excellent vooaiists.

SOMETHING NEW.
How Some People Follow Every
New Fad.
But the Majority Prefer That Expert
ments should BE Tried Upon
Somebody Else.

Some persons are always so anxious
for something new that it is astonish-
Ing they still continue to eat plain
bread and butter. They have always
thrived well on beef, eggs, and pota-
toes; but somebody writes an article
for a scientific Journal, and attempts
to show that these foods are neither
as cheap nor as nutritious as some
other kind of food. Therefore, some
persons drop this standard diet and
take up whatever some Young scientist
directs We cannot understand this.
When anything has Been thoroughly
tried and tested and found in every way
satisfactory, why do some people per-
sist in running after some new-fangled
notion? Take cod-liver oil for in
Stance. 1t has been used for two
hundred years with most marvellous
success, and IN large variety OF
complaints Its success has been no
greater in the past than ii is to-day.
More slSillful methods of preparing it,
and emulsifying it (for it is generally
acknowledged that it should always be
given in the form of an cmuls:on),
gives assurance that it's future use is
bound to be even far greater than
ever
And yet some people talk about q
substitute for cod-lfver oil''l Sub
Stitute? Why, it is almost laugha-
bic. It certainly would be so, were
the question not such n serious one.
There can be no substitute for cod
liver oil, for there is nothing at all like
It known TO medical science. When
Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with
the Hypophosphites has been used fer
over twenty years, and when thou
sands have testified TO its curative
properties, is 10 not strange that any
one would think of trying an expert
ment with some new preparation of
cod-liver oil? When you know you are
safe in taking SCOTS Emulsion, is it
not too risky business to try something
new2 Do you think Scott's Emulsion
could have stood these twenty years,
and have 4 larger sale to-day than ever
before, unless it had true, genuine merit.
Where do you suppose these substi-
tutes, which do not contain particle
of oil, viii be twenty years from nowP
And where will all the falScy prepara-
tions, as the various wines of cod-liver
oh, DS al Sh"V NlihSF IL Is perfectly
safe to predict that before they are
half as old as Scott's Emulsion is, they
will be forgotten. Do not allow your
selves to be experimental upon; be
satisfied with the best; and take adj
vantage of twenty years of ever in
ereasing prosperity.
Scott's Emulsion contains more pure
Norwegian Cod-liver Oil than any other
emulsion in the world, that will stand
the test of time as being perfect in
separable emulsion. Ask your doctor.
