ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theater.

notwithstanding the oppressive heat last evening many availed themselves or the opportunity of hearing the sing ing comedian, Andrew Mack, in "An irish Gentleman" at the Hyperion. Of the play itself without MT. Macks in- troduction of several catchy and pretty ballads and his own pleasant manner of rendition, very little can be said in it's praise. It is the old story of villain and hero, the latter suffering untold misery and persecution from the rise to the fall of the curtain and eventually triumphs over his enemies to their great discomfort and so forth. The Dore Song" which Is introduced in the hrst act, is most gratifying; and the sight of tame doves coming out of thelr cotes at the voice of the singer brought forth generous applause. Dur ing the evening MT. Mack rendered beautifully My Sweetest Girl" My Hearts Delight" and "The Irish Street Slnger.' Little Florence Olp as Peggy and George Deyo as Father Lawler shared almost equal honors in their re-

The wedding arrangements are upset, | but the doll Columbine is purchased 1 rom the mountebank as some com pensatlon to the duke for loss of his bride, Columbine purposing to escape and reJoin her comrades. But she is thus discovered as real girl and the exact image of the missing bride, Cerlse. Complications multiply from this point; both have jealous suitors- hot-tempered soldier and gypsy. Ger lse's twin brother deserts from a mili- tary post and appears on the scene more misunderstandings a general game of criss-cross purposes runs 1 through the three cast.

ON THE WANE.
Bull Fighting No Longer Popular
Among the Spaniards.

Bull fighting is ON the wane in
Spain and it's popularity is rapidly de-
clining. This, says the New York
Tribune" is shown by the fact that
the Madrid Chamber of Commerce has
just presented a petition based on the
unanimous vote Of its members to the
Governor of Madrid, requesting him to
put a stop to- week day corridos, save
on exceptional occasions. 1t is urged
therein that bull fights on working days
injure trade and industry, are detri-
mental to the dispatch of business in
the Government offices and favor idle
ness with aid its accompanying evils.
The Governor. has promised to accede
to the petition, and his decision is ap-
proved by a large and influential por-
tion of the public, while the remainder
of the people view the matter with in
difference. Yet twenty years ago the
bare idea of any restriction of the num-
ber of bull fights by the authorities
would have raised a storm Of indigna-
ton. The altered condition of public
sentiment with regard to this national
sport is mainly attributable to the ex-
cellent influence of the Queen Regent,
who has always set her face against
bull fighting resolutely declining to
countenance the coaridos by her pres
ence

D1sPosING OF OLD IDEAS.

One by one the old traditions fancies
and beliefs go down. It has been the
popular belief for centuries that a mad
dog goes galloping wildly along seek
ing to fasten his fangs upon whomso-
ever he meets. That he abhors water
and flies from it in terror. That he
barks and yells and howls fearfully-
and often froths at the mouth with a
white foam.
Now comes a report in the journal is
sued by the Massachusetts Society for
Prevention of Cruelty. in which it is
shown that the agents OF the Anti-Cru-
city Societies in that State. have in
thirty years examined and cared for a
myriad of dogs and small domestic an
imals. In the last three years they
The record-union., 1897-08-12

contemplate the new tariff laws recent
ly enacted by the American Congress
and approved by President Mckinley.
To read the excerpts from the foreign
press it would appear that Uncle Sam
has no right to erect barriers to pro-
tect his own interests without asking
the European nations leave TO do so.
1t is little wonder that we hear big
howl from across the great waters.
The new tariff blocks the game of for
eign manufacturers and producers IN
the profitable markets of the United
States. Even the little brown man of
Japan sets up as a censor of the acts
of this great commonwealth. Well, let
the little and big dogs snap and howl.
Uncle Sam, with a large, and growing
family on his hands, clamoring for
bread, is not very likely TO worry much
about the opinions and wishes of other
nations when it comes to enacting and
enforcing protective laws that in the
broadest sense will afford protection to
his own.
THE TYPICAL AMERICAN.
Riverside Globe: The American peo-
pie are making headway in the mani
festation of their regard for the fame
of their heroes and illustrious citizens.
Nothing more surely indicates the char
acter of a people than the apprecia-
tion shown their noble dead. 1t is
distinct advance When in different parts
of the Union monuments are being
erected to the memory of those who
made the Union possible as it exists
to-day. Every American who has any
conception of the grandeur of the re-
public rejoices in the honors lately paid
to Grant and Logan in the dedication
of beautiful and costly structures of
stone in the two great cities of the
Union, which shall be silent witnesses
to coming generations of that militant
patriotism which, ever latent in the
minds and hearts of the people, found
it's highest embodiment in the achieve
ments of the Silent Soldier of the reg
ular army and the aggressive, turbu-
lent soul of the Prince of Volunteers.
The years shall add fresh luster to
their deeds.

SOME RECENT DECISIONS.

Among recent decisions of the courts
more than usual interest, we notice one
by a Georgia tribunal to the effect that
the law regarding cruelty to children
Is inapplicable to a case where the boy
is almost as large as his father but
not quite as strong, but who had at
tanned the stature and physical
strength of manhood.
In North Dakota it has recently been
held by the Supreme Court that where
a defendant in a criminal case takes
the witness stand in his own behalf he
is subject to the same rules of cross
examination that govern other wit
nesses, and may be required to answer
any relevant and proper question that
will tend to convict him of the crime
for which he is being tried. even though
1t may also tend to convict him of some
collateral crime
In New York a tender was made to a
street car conductor of a So bill for
operating the road limit the amount of
a bill that may be changed by a con-
ductor to 50. The Appellate Court
held that the tender of the So bill was
not reasonable and the conductor can
not be required to furnish change for
that amount.
In Iowa the Supreme Court has held
that the right Of a bank to set off
the unmatured note of an insolyent
depositor against the deposit is super
ior to the rights of a drawee of a check
on the deposit. of which the bank had
no notice until after it learned Of the
depositor's insolvency.
In Michigan there is confusion of
opinion respecting the negotiability of
a note secured by a mortgage. 1t is
held by two of the Judges that pro-
vision in a mortgage securing note
which is otherwise negotiable, to the
effect that a mOrtgagor shall pay taxes
and assessments, on failure of which
the whole debt shall become due, de-
stroys the negotiability of the note;
while in another case a similar provis-
ion is declared by other Judges not to
defeat the negotability of the note. In
neither case was there a clear majority
of the court in favor of either propo-
sition
In Louisiana it is held that an insur-
ance company which under its contract
elects to repair and fails TO do SO is
liable for the cost of the repairs with
out reference to the amount of the in
surance, If the assured completes the
repairs, which is so sensible and OBJ
vious a proposition the wonder is il

pany.
In Illinois applying the doctrine that
a loss or injury is due to the act of
God where il is occasioned exclusively
by natural causes such as could not be
prevented by human. care, skill, and
foresight, ii is held that an unprece-
dented flood by reason of which the
baggage of a passenger is swept away
is an act of God; but that where un-
necessary delay Of a carrier made the
loss of the property by such flood pos
sible the carrier is liable

There are, already indications that
the rush to the Klondike mines is
bringing en- the suffering that has been
feared. We very much expect to hear
woeful tales of distress and death in
the SHOWS of the north and the perils
of the mountain passes beyond Dyea.
1t will not be surprising. indeed, if there
is not presently a call for relief expe-
ditions. SO many have gone forward
too late, so many have ventured who
were i'll prepared. and so many have
gone who have not the physical ability
to withstand Arctic rigors, and the
coarse diet, that, without being alarm
lists, we may anticipate a cry for help
from the north country.

This unfortunate state of affairs might have
been avoided had the mother, during the
period of expectant motherhood, taken the
right care of the delicate organs that make
maternity possible. A woman should al
ways keep these important organs we'll and
strong. Her own health and that of her
child depend upon it.
The best medicine for prospective moth
ers is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. II
makes healthy and strong the organs that
bear the burdens of maternity. 1t cures all
disease and weakness. 1t makes comfort
able the period preceding motherhood and
renders the advent of baby easy and nearly
painless. It insures a healthy child. The
pains and suffering that women endure, as
a result of weakness of the distinctly wo-
manly organism, vanish under its use All
good druggists sell it. There is nothing
else just as good. y

The Disseminated.

The winding brook that flows along
Through the meadow to the sea
Is singing a happy little song
That arouses joy In me.
And l follow it's course through grassy
plain,
And valley and field and glen,
Till it loses itself in the troubled main,
And never is heard again.
Oh thou that singest happy lay
To some wondering rustic maid,
Why seek to soar, why seek to stray
Beyond the native glade?
Far better to sing simple song
To one that admires thee
Than to waste thy strains on the rushing
throng,
AS the brook is lost in the sea.

OvEREATING.
Americans Eat Food That Is Too
Nutritious.

1t has been computed by some one
fond of mathematical calculations that
if the food which is consumed in Great
Britain not only in excess of need, but
to the actual harm of the eaters, could
be saved and sent to India it would
more than supply the wants of the
starving thousands in that country.
This computation is of course, little
more than guess, but it serves TO
emphasize the fact that many, perhaps
the majority of mankind above the
ranks of the very poor, sin against
themselves daily by overeating.
An English hygienist of repute says
that large proportions of the Ills which
afflict men past the middle life are due
to errors in diet, chiefly in the direction
of excess in quantity. He even goes so
far as to make the deliberate assertion
that more mischief in the shape of less
ened resisting powers, actual disease
and short ened life comes to the inhab-
itants of Northern Europe from their
habits of eating than from their abuse
of alcoholic liquors.
And what is said Of Englishmen APP
plies with equal force to Americans.
We not only eat too much and too often,
but we eat food that is too nutritious
in proportion to its bulk; in other
words, we eat too much meat
Not only are gout and rheumatism
favored, or. as some eminent authori-
ties contend, solely caused by too much
meat, but even certain tumors are
thought by many to be fastened in
their growth by the same means.
For the majority of city dwehers,
especially BRAIN workers, three meals
a day are too many; two are all sutfi-
cient for most people, and many are
better off with meat only once in the
twenty four hours. The other meals
should be slight, consisting of bread,
butter, cheese, milk, green vegetables
and fruit.
There is an unfounded prejudice
against nuts, which are regarded as in
digestible, but that is because they are
eaten at the wrong time. Both fruit
and nuts are excellent foods, but they
should be eaten at the beginning or
breakfast or luncheon, instead of at the
end of the meal.--Youth's Companion.

The hight of absurdity seems to have
been reached when the City Water In
spector reports to the Trustees every
week that a large number of people
are constantly violating the ordinance
by irrigating beyond the proper hours
and by letting the water run continu-
ously in closets, and yet never making
an arrest, and then arrests man for
using a hose to wash off his front porch
If washing off a porch is not using
water for domestic purposes we do not
know what is. Fortunatel for th4
citizen arrested a level-headed police
magistrate promptly dismissed the
case. If the ordinance requires that a
citizen must pay an extra price for
washing his porch, let the Water Col
lector make the charge and collect it
but the arrest of a citizen for using
water for domestic use, after paying
all ne has been asked to pay, is nothing
short of an outrage.
