Forrest Tuttle, a local evangelist oil
Milledgeville, Ca, startled the COM
munity several days ago by appearing
upon the street corner for the purpose
Of preaching his own funeral sermon
He mounted a dry goods box, selected
an appropriate text, and pronounced
eloquent encomiums upon himself. He
gave a vivid description of his future
place of abode, and told of what hi
had done to deserve the reward. In
former days Tuttle was a well-known
circus man, and for a number Of year,
travelled with Barnum. His brothe2
James futile, was famous for hi:
triple somersault turn, and was al
athlete of worldwide notoriety. For I
time Forrest followed his brother, but
he changed his life and returned To
his old home and began to preach
Upon one occasion the circus with
which he had travelled came to Macon
futile secured a pile of Bibles, placed
himself at the main entrance and Of
fered a Bible to all who came. Tuttl'

ton.

but the physicians say that eleven were
struck. AT any rate, there was force
enough to cause the old gentleman TO
sink to the floor without q sound, and
remain there. and Kelly entered the en-
closure and shut the door. which the
cashier had tried s. valiantly to de-
fend.
Then the robber stopped, and, with
his razor, slashed the throat OF the dy-
ing old man. He had with then a pill
low slip which he had taken from the
house where he boarded, and he imme-
diately filed this with all the gold and
silver and bills he could lay his hands
on and got ready to depart. Before he
rifed the vault Kelly had locked the
entrance door to the bank, and after he
had swept his hands through the Till
and vault and gathered that he couid,
he discovered, very much to his sur
prise, that he could not get out OF the
place. There was no time for him TO
waste, and he could not stop at tribes,
SO, without the slightest hesitation he
broke out the big light of glass, went
through it, and, with his plumber in his
hands, walked down the stairs to the
street. Kelly says he sort of skulked
along the side streets leading to the
thoroughfare on which Mr.. Hayes or
chard is located, and beneath a tree In
that orchard he threw his burden
down. Then with the calmness OF a
man who had just done a worthy deed,
he went to his boarding house, and
coolly and calmly looking at every in
dividual and gazing straight into his
eyes, ate his dinner in the dining room
used by every one who boarded at the
place. He was as cool as a cucumber

OSCAR WILDE RELEASED.

He Will Go to Paris After Few Days
and Then Perhaps to Italy.
London, May 19.-Oscar Wilde, who
was removed from Reading Jail to Hol-
lowell prison last night, was released
from the prison this morning, his SEN
tence having expired. He was not
greeted by any friends at the prison
gates. He declined to make any state
ment beyond saying that he was men
tally tired, though his condition, both
physically and mentally, had greatly
improved within the last year.
The prison physician said this morn
dng that Wilde's confinement had been
of great benefit to him, and that he
was now normally sound. Wilde, he
said, would go to the suburbs of Lon
don for few days rest and then go
to Paris and perhaps to ITALY. 1t is
Wilde's intention to write play under
a pseudonym, though the authorship of
the work will not be concealed.
1t is reported that Wilde's wife will
now apply for divorce, to which he
will make no defence.
Upon leaving the prison Wilde de-
clined an offer of 1000 to write his ex-
periences while in confinement for a
New York newspaper.

MIR. Elkins of Mr.. Foraker.

Mr.. Foraker answered jocularly that

become irritated when he enjoyed the
same privilege of slipping away to the
state department.
Mr.. Thurston of Nebraska took the
floor, intending to address the senate
when the Cuban debate is resumed to-
morrow.
At 6 o'clock the senate adjourned.

by the violin. After a brief episode the
second theme, in G major, enters in

in which both themes are cleverly used.
The first theme is then given out by
the violin alone in E minor, when the
second theme also appears in the orig

theme enters in c major. After an cpl
sode in E fiat the theme reappears in c

The last movement is in dondo form

Story of How She Gave to the World the
Handkerchief
1t is related of the Empress Josephine
that she was the first to introduce to
the world the custom of carrying a
handkerchief, The story is that Joseph
inc had bad teeth and to cover UP this
defect she resorted to the use of piece
of the finest linen trimmed with rare
lace
There are many women to-day whose
beauty would be enhanced in the same
way; or rather whose defective teeth
are a source of constant regret. And
no wonder. Most women are absolute
ly ignorant of the harm done their
teeth by worthless connections sold
to clean them. We have in the market
preparations containing pumice stone
and cutie fish and under the guise of
cleaning" these miserable prepara-
tons grind into the enamel, pave the
way for decay near the gums, and do
all sorts of mischief.
1t is safe to say that never until the
advent of Pearlo-dento has the public
had an ideal preparation for cleansing
=
body who cares for his or her teeth
should investigate this subject. No
country outside Of America has such
an extraordinary demand for worthless
tooth preparations.
Pearlo-dento costs so cents box 1t
is worth it. 1t is the ideal paste, put
up in ideal form, and has the endorse
ment of dentists behind it. 1t polishes
the teeth (not grinds them), and you
don't have to rinse out your mouth
thoroughly after using it either, for
fear some acid or alkaline reaction will
injure your teeth.
You will never know what an ideal
tooth paste is until you try Pearlo-
dento.

The O'Clock Piano Recital.
The piano recital at 2 o'clock by
Madame Melanie de WienzkoWsl1a was
one of the most artistic features Of the
FESTIVAL The selection of Madame de
WienzkoWska was a,Wise one. She has
not been heard to any great extent in
this country but her New York appear
ance attracted favorable notice. She
is the first of Lescitizkys small army
OIL Vorbereiters or preparatory teach
ers, which Is a sufficient proof of her
technical skill, She acquired the usual
easy facility of execution and eXtraor-
binary finger dexterity that we have
come to expect from Leschetizky's pu-
pills, She reminds one often in her
playing of Paderewsky's pupil Mile.
SzumoWska (Mrs. Joseph AdamowskD
who played here last winter with
Sauret. But Weinzkowska lacks the
magnetic qualities that make Mile. Szu-
moWska's personality so delightful.
The programme was well chosen from
the usual concert repertory. OF course
it began with Bach and ended with
Liszt. The Chopin group We're sympa-
thetically played. There We're sentiment
and poetry in her Interpretation and
not too much tempo rubato. A miscel-
laneous group by Paderewsl, Mosz-
kowski and Rubenstein were delight
fully given. These pieces in lighter
vein We're perhaps the most enjoyable
of all. Wienskowsl<a seemed to lack
the ability to build up great climax
and her temperament is rather cold.
Hence the Moszkowski and Leschetizky
numbers, in which these defects were
not noticeable, were the most success
full. However, one cannot look for per
lection in pianists any more than in
ordinary mortals and Wienzkowska is
a charming artist.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan-
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.

the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.
