FadS in Medicine.

There are fads in medicine as in every
thing else and ''new thing" frequently
sells for short time simply because 1t is
new. But in medicine, as IN nothing else,
the people demand and will be satisfied only
with positive absolute merit. The fact
that Hoods Sarsaparilla has stood its ground
against all competition, and its sales have
never wavered but have remained steadily
at the top. demonstrates, beyond any doubt,
the intrinsic virtues of this medicine. The
new things have come and gone but Hoods
Sarsaparilla rests upon the solid found alton
of absolute merit and its power to cure, and
its sales continue to be the largest In the
world.

The Branch Library is well patronized
during these chilly evenings, and the
attendance is constantly increasing. The
patrons are chiefly working men and the
children OF working people.
It is universally acknowledged that
this Branch Library has not only served
the public in an educational way, but
has had a salutary effect in keeping
children off the streets at night, and
men out of saloons. Ordinarily, the
saloon offers the only shelter to the
average wayfarer in this densely popu-
lated part of the city. A feature of the
saloon which has not been generally
understood by reformers, is the social
feature. Many men drift into saloons
and become frequenters of those places,
through desire for society, rather than
drink. The saloon is the poor mans
club, and many drink is purchased be-
cause the visitor feels that he is expect

When the public-spirited

the city council contemplated depriving
the people of Central Duluth of the
Branch Library, which is so priced by
them. The storm of Indignation which
this rumor has raised is significant,

Otis Skinner.

The best romantic actor at the pres
ent time upon the American stage is, it
is conceded by the best critics in the
entire country, Otis Skinner, who comes
to the Lyceum Oct % and % and Sat-
urday matinee.
Mr.. Skinner possesses all of the attri-
butes which 60 to make up the success
full actor. He has youth on his side; he
has fine physique, :. magnificent stage
presence, wonderful amount of per-
sonal magnetism, that quality so neces-
sary to the successful actor, yet SO often
lacking, and besides all this, he is very
handsome man. The play which Mr..
Skinner will present is new one and it
is free adaptation of one of Robert
Louis Stevenson's stories. The action
of the play takes place in the early
years of the present century, in one of
the smaller German principalities. The
story is most interesting and it is force
fully told, with extremely strong dra-
matte situations and climaxes. The
play is called prince Rudolph" and
Mr.. Skinner has taken great pains that
the mountings and costumes shall be
all that can be desired. The company
which Mr.. Skinner brings with him is
a most competent one and is made up
of players of known ability and reputa-
ton, being headed by Miss Maud Dur
bin and and Frederick Mosley.
