Polls Wonderland Theater.


 The pleasant announcement is made that Manager Poli has secured the Dingley Tariff Baby for presentation at his Wonderland theater this week. The Dingley Tariff Baby is little farce comedy presented by five people, and it has been the reigning vaudeville sen- sation of the season in New York. When it was first put on at Proctor's Pleasure Palace three months ago it scored an instantaneous success, receiv- ing the most unstinted approval of the press critics and winning public favor at a bound, This will be the first pre- sentation of the comedy outside of New York, and the engagement of it is still another proof of Manager Poli's untiring enterprise in securing high class attractions for his house Vaude- vile managers everywhere are strug- gling to secure this attraction, and it has cost MT. Poli pretty penny to get It ahead of them. As laugh maker the Dingley Tariff Baby is said to beat anything produced in vaudeville this season, and those who visit the Won derland this week can promise them selves very merry time. strong speciality cast has been booked in addi- tion. Among the artists who are to ap- pear are the famous Lew Hawkins, Walton and Doyle, the Reese twin brothers, the Clover Trio, Helf and Yost, the Craig Trio, and Bandon and Regini. Popular prices, 10 and 20 cents; ladies in the afternoon, all parts of the house, 10 cents. Bicycles checked free on application to the doorkeeper.

MEASLES EPIpEMIC FEARED,

It is feared by the health officer that an epidemic in measles in the schools of the Eighth ward is imminent.
 Five cases were reported from Ed wards street school. They were all of a mild type. The schools are not gen. erally closed because of the appearance of measles and if parents are fearful of their children contracting them they will have to take personal precaution.
 Typhoid fever has also made it's ap- pearance.

Away Ahead of Europe.

There l. one important industry in which We
greatly surpass Europe, and that is the making
of rubber boots and shoes. There are all told
in England and on the continent, eight rubber
footwear factories. Three OF these are.in Rus
STA, where they have a great deal Of bad weather
that calls for rubbers. The combined capacity Of
these eight factories is $4,000 pairs of boots and
shoes per day. Now there is one factory alone
in this countryside factory of the American
Rubber Co, cambridge, Mass, which has a ca
pacity of y, 900 pairs of boots and shoes a day,
almost equal 70 all the Euronean factories com
bined. There Is great difference, too, In the
character OF the product. European rubbers are
heavy and clumsy, and anything but shapely
They are made only 10 few different styles, and
this country the rubber manufacturers make a
vast variety Of styles and great number of diff
ferent sizes and widths The American Rubber
Co makes over 100 different kinds Of boots
and shoes and counting all the different sizes and
makes over 1900 distinctly different ruobers.
It's not a bad idea, by the wav, in getting rub.
bers to remember this name American Rubber
Co, because now that crude rubber costs near.
ly 81 pound, there are a good many rubbers on
the market which have very little pure gum in
them,-which look we'll enough, but wear abom
inably.
Next pair of rubbers you get look on the bot
tom, and see il they are stamped American
Rubber Co" If they are, you can rest content
In mind, because you have got pair OF rubbers
that cannot be excelled anywhere in the world.

Signalling from Mars.

Any citizen who is tired of mundane
concerns, and wants to fix his mind on
something higher is invited to consider
the allegation of Sir Francis Gallon, made
in the London Fortnightly Review, that
some one on Mars is signalling to earth.
The information seems not as yet TO be
very generally confirmed by astronomical
observers, but Sir Francis is quoted as au-
thority for the report that in one of the
European observatories an apparatus has
been devised for recording the Marian
flashes, and that the record shows that
three signals and no more are made, and
that they differ, as all flash-light signals do,
in the length of the flashes and of the in
tervals between, so that if we had the key
they might be read like telegraphic mes
sages. OF course this is not a yarn to be
swallowed whole, but the association of the
name of Sir Francis Cation with it is
enough to entitle it to consideration.
There seems to be no intrinsic impossible
ity of our having relations with people in
Mars. 1t sounds preposterous, of course,
but, like other marvels, it seems prepos
ferrous chiefly because it is unusual We
have TO nudge ourselves from time 70 time
in this age of swift surprises, and remind
ourselves that nothing that is new to us
can possibly be more marvellous than
many things that have grown familiar
