ADJUSTMENTS.

The Elks' minstrel entertainment last
night crowded the Metropolitan Thea
ter in every part. Standing room
only" was the sign hung out as soon
as the doors opened, every seat in the
house above and below having been
reserved, while large numbers of peo-
pie turned away unable to gain admis-
sion even to the lobbies. When the
curtain went up it disclosed seventy
members of the lodge upon the stage
on terraces, with the end men and chief
performers on the lower semi-circle.
The leaders in the entertainment We're

der, with a number of others in the
afterpiece, the production of the last
named Elk" The programme was
very long and the entertainment lasted
until 11:45, including a neat address by
T. J. Clunie. The whole thing was un-
der the direction of r. T. Cohn, and G.
A. Neale welded the baton in the or
chestra. It was far and away the best
amateur performance ever given in the
city. Many people paid a dollar ad-
mission to witness a performance by
professionals not so good. There was
more of merit in the first part than
in the second. and musically the first
part was especially pleasing. Indeed it
moved on with an ease and absence of
embarrassment wholly unexpected, and
with a spirit, vigOr and abandon that
it is supposed professionals alone can
assume. Some few of the Witticisms
were familiar and aged, but for the
most part the fun was original and
fresh. Very much of it was local, and
this augmented the favorable impress
sion, as the jokes concerned well-known
people for the most part, and were of
an order to be taken kindly and were
so quickly appreciated by the audience
that laughter and applause followed in
stantly. 1t was an audience that had
come to be pleased and to enjoy itself
either over the merit of the wit and
fun, or over the discontinue of the
performers as the case might be. But
there was nothing of the latter char
acter, so that commendation was liter
ally showered upon the Elks. Mr.. Bel
shaw and Ed F. Smith, as leading end
men, were the chief leaders in the first
part, seconded very closely by George
Lovdal, G.. w Jackson and F. n Kid
der and W. H. Triechler. The senti-
mental singing was excellent, and was
by Messrs. Cohn, Crocker, H. A. Kid
der, E. S. Elkus and Master Kleinsorge.
The Elks have every reason to be sat
isfied, indeed gratified with their first
public entertainment of this order.
They demonstrated that they have in
their ranks very much Of clever COM
edy and musical ability The audience
was well satisfied and went away
breathing compliments for the Elks

WHEELMEN.
The Capital City Club to Incorpo-
rate-Riders in Training.

The Capital City Wheelmen at their
meeting last night passed upon the
suggestion of the Codifcation Commit
tee, that the club should decide Wheth-
er it would incorporate, and whether
in the new code of laws most business
power should be lodged in the Execu-
tive Committee, or whether the clup
would continue its present system, and
do most of its business in open meeting.
The latter plan was voted the best, as
inviting more manifestation of inter-
est from the members, but there will
nevertheless in the new code be lodged
ample authority in the Executive Com
mittee for ad interim business and all
applications will pass through its
hands.
The club resolved to incorporate i'm
mediately, and Judge S. Solon Holl
Scott F. Ennis and j. A Woodson
were appointed to file the necessary
certificate, naming as the first Board
of Directors Scott F. Ennis, F. T. Dwy-

MAILING CARDS.
Features of New Law That Takes
Effect July Ist.

On the 1st day of July the bill permit
ting the printing and the use of pri-
Vate mailing cards, with a one-cent
stamp affixed, will go into effect. The
progressive business man will have his
own business advertisement conspicu-
ously displayed, and the printing of
millions of cards will make work for
the printer.
The bill is approved by the Postoffice
Department, as it tends to popuarize
postal cards, besides a saving to- the
Government Of the difference between
the cost of the cards and the stamps
Postmaster Fox says he has received
no instructions as yet regarding such
new law, of the passage of which he
was not aware. He does not, however,
think the cards will prove more pop
ular than the ordinary postal card, as
it involves the trouble of affixing q
stamp each time one is used, whereas
postal cards are already used for ad-
vertising as well as other purposes.

LEWIS AND RYAN.
Training Hard for Their Twenty
Round Glove Match.

Billy Lewis and Jim Ryan are train
ing hard for their twenty-round glove
contest next Saturday night. Ryan
is in splendid condition, having been
training for fights in San Francisco
previous to coming here.
The men are evenly matched, and
should put up a rafting good contest.
Both are confident of winning. Many
tickets have been sold and at the low
price the house should be well filled.
The Managers, John Norton and Har-
ry Ketchum, will try and make this
contest a success
The contest will take place at Armory
Hall. Lewis ability as an exponent of
the manly art is we'll known all over
the country from the coast to the
Rocky Mountains and from Montana
to Texas. He possesses skill and re-
markable capacity to take punishment,
and is regarded as a good match for
Ryan.
The latter made many friends among
the sporting fraternity here when he
fought Harry Woods not long ago be-
fore the Sacramento Athletic Club. He
is a skillful and Furnishing boxer and

Bad Habits Make a Man Act Like
He Was Under a Spell.

A man will try to convice himself
by arguments so poorly founded that
if they were presented by another they
would be treated with contempt AS
an instance: He may be ailing from
the heavy poison of tobacco, or the
lighter poison of coffee, the weakened
condition win show somewhere in the
body; eyes, head, stomach, heart, liver,
bowels, or somewhere. His doctor tells
him to stop the habit, but each day
the thought comes, "Oh, coffee and to-
bacco don't hurt me, it's my stomach
that is at fault; I'll have that cured
and everything will be all right" So
he keeps on with his habits, and goes
to drugging a poor old stomach that
would do its Work beautifully if the
master would furnish enough vitality
to run It, but he poisons his nervous
system and robs the members of
strength to carry on their work When
a man wakes up to what he is doing,
exchanging his health and chance to
succeed in this world for paltry habit
or two, he quits them and follows ma
lures wise laws.
1t is easy to give up coffee if one
can have Postum, the Food Coffee,
which is a fac-simile in looks of fine
Mocha coffee. In taste it retains a like
pungency with coffee, but has a dis
tinct flavor of its own 1t is made en-
tirely Of pure grains, and has the abil-
ity to make red blood quickly.
Tobacco, morphine, whisky, strych-
nine and coffee each contain much the
same poisonous alkaloids, but vary in
strength. Postum is a delicious break
fast drink; it is fattening and nourish-
ing, for it is made of the grains in
tended by the Creator for mans natural
use, and scientifically prepared by the

H. Hoffman, charged with having re-

tried and acquitted by a jury in the
Police Court yesterday. The evidence
was of a very conflicting nature, the
witnesses on both sides being about
equal in number and equally positive
as to the guilt or innocence of the de-
fendant.

charged with an offense similar to that
of which Hoffman was acquitted, was

C0iumb fa Lithia Water

The truth of the axiom that "a prophet is
rot honored i'm his own country" receives
no confirmation in the Columbia Natural
Lithla Spring located here i'm Washington.
seldom has a mineral water met with so
unusual success and gained I'm such a.
comparatively short time so great a num-
Der of friends. Its history is a most inter-
estinS one and reads like the story of the
Cape Colony farmer who ignorant of it's
value, used one of the worlds largest and
most famous diamonds as door stop.
Like the famous Carlsbad waters of Ger
many and the equally well-known Saratoga
Springs OF our own country, the Columbia
l-tthia Spring was accidentally discovered in
the heart OF the town. Its waters are of a
character that has no duplicate within a.
radius of several hundred miles of Wash
lhgton- The amount of liihia il contains
ranks IL as one of the strongest lithia wa
ters in the world. By comparison with the
famous waters Of Virginia, il has from -
TO ~ per cent more lithia. Its the reapeu-
tical value in diseased conditions is said TO
be so favorable and so marked that il has
received the Endorsement Of many of the
best practitioners. In appearance il is as
clear and limpid the waters of a noun

CHICAGO WOMEN RIDING AsTRrDE.
Ihey VIII Appear I'm the Coming
Horse Show.

They VIII Appear In the Coming
Horse Show.
From the Chicago Times Herald.
The action of the management of the
Chicago horse show in Offering a substan-
tial cash prize for the best woman cross
rider is the principal subject of converse
ton among the women of this city who
have chosen the seat astride being safer
and more practical than the old style.
Horsewomen in every part of the country
are expressing interest i'm the new depar-
tufe. With the exception of Boston, east
ern interest in cross saddle riding is mostly
theoretical In California it is greatly in
vogue. In Chicago it is gaining In favor
every day.
The chief objection to the cross saddle
for some time was the difficulty in finding
habit that was both neat and modest
Mrs. H. P. Colgrove of this city. who is an
enthusiastic horsewoman, first saw the
cross saddle ON exhibition at a horse show
in 1895. Deciding Immediately that it was
sensible thing, she adopted il. Finding
no tailor who could provide her with a sat
isfactory habit, she began experimenting at
now worn by nearly every cross rider in the
country. 1t may be described a long d.
vided coat over a tolerably full divided
skirt. 1t is modest. and becoming, and
when seen from a distance, viewed from
either side, it appears that the rider is.
mounted sideways. When dismounted the
two skirts are buttoned together so that
the casual observer would fail to detect
anything unusual about the skirt. The coat
closely resembles the old style ''redingote,"
except that at the waist ii is fitted with
many darts and with different curves than
the oioer garment. The divided skirt worn
underneath is made In the usual fashion, ex-
cept that the seat is arranged in diamond
shape and the fullness at the back is more
pronounced. A rubber strap well toward
the front Of the skirt is passed over the
foot thus preventing 1t from blowing up
with every gust of wind and exposing the
riders foot and boot.
Since the advent OF the cross-saddle habit
1t is a noticeable fact that the nigh silk
hats have disappeared The soft felt or
Fedora better suits the costume, and is GER
tainly more becoming than the tile. A new
fall style in riding hats has brim shaped
closely to the head and a four-inch crown.
It is to be made OF the same cloth as the
habit.
