OPERA HOUsE-Tuesday Humane So

The Humane Society benefit enter

House tomorrow evening, and it
promises to be no less successful from
an artistic than from a financial
standpoint. The first part will con-
sist Of selections from grand opera,
rendered by such we'll known vocalists
as Mrs. M. E. Whitaker, Mrs. Frank
J. LeMoyne Hupp, and Mr.. Charles
Zulauf This will be followed by a
stage adaptation of Tennyson's poem
"A Dream Of Fair Women" under the
direction of Mr.. Frank Updegraff. 1t
will be given with elaborate costumes,
and handsome stage settings, and the
principals include some of the most
beautiful women in Wheeling.
Merry Kate Emmett and an excel
lent company, presenting the we'll
known and ever-popular comedy dra-
ma, 1.-The Waits Of New York" will be
the magnet to attract patrons to the
Grand Opera House tonight. "The
Waits of New York" will be remem-
bered as having been the original of
all plays dealing with life in the great
metropolis, and although the orig
inal it is safe to say it has lost none
of its popularity, as the nightly re-
ceipts of the box office attest. Since
it's last tour it has been rewritten and
revised, and as now presented is said
to be the superior Of all modern COM

heroic newsboy. She has pretty and

Virginia during the war. but the in
terest is strongly domestic and the
war is used only as powerful setting
OF true heart interest. What is de-
cidedly singular in play of this kind
is that the stars appear in light com
edy characters. The Chicago Tribune
said On October Is, 1895: While Mr.
Whytal's work as a stranger might
be regarded as a tentative effort. its
absolute merit will assure its perma-

HAUNTED!

The human tenement is often haunted
to the grievous discomfort Of its pos
sessor-by those malignant spirits, consti-
patton and biliousness. But the abomi-
nable pair may be speedily driven out
with the potent help Of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. This genial Alternative while
it relieves the bowels and regulates the
liver, never, as a drastic purgative does
produces violent effects and weakens the
intestines. On the contrary, the action
OF the Bitters is presicely analogous to
an effort Of nature seeking to resume her
proper functions. This furnishes pretty
conclusive evidence that it is better to use
persuasive means, so to speak, than to
endeavor to coerce nature to a return to
duty. Violent remedies produce only IL
temporary effect, followed by hurtful
reaction. For indigestion, malarial and
kidney complaints, rheumatism and ner-
vousness, the Bitters takes highest rank
among remedies of the philosophic school

DECLINED WITH REGRETS.
That Will be England's Answer to the
WoIcott Proposition.

London, Oct 19.-The United States mon
etary commissioners have received no Of
fetal information regarding the action
taken by the British cabinet on Saturday
last. Private advices. however, convince
them that the cabinet has dealt the
death-bIow to their mission. It is ex-
pected the commissioners will be shortly
informed that her majesty's government
regrets being unable to accede to their
proposals, but is willing to listen to any
other plans they may suggest. But the
parties to the conference know no other
practical scheme can be advanced.
In the event of the expected reply being
received, the United States commission
ers will return to the United States.
It is learned that the only thing that
the cabinet officially discussed in confer
ence yesterday regarding the currency
question was Sir James Westland's last
report. Sir James is the head of depart
ment in India and in a voluminous report
took the strongest ground against re-
opening the mints.
The commissioners believe their failure
means that no further effort will be made
in behalf of bimetallism for many years
to come. They attribute their failure to
the opposition of the bankers and the
London Times. Until these forces were
aroused all signs pointed to the co-opera-
ton of the British government.

TO PUSH BASEBALL.
Important Meeting Thursday Night
To Hustle for the Franchise,

The directors of the Topeka baseball
association will be elected on Thursday
night at the Commercial club rooms.
The meeting was originally set for Fri
day night but even baseball meetings
must give way to minstrelsy and the
date has been changed.
All who have or will subscribe to the
cause before the meeting will be eigi-
BILE to vote. Besides the directors two
representatives are to be chosen to at
tend the Western association meeting
on November Is and bid for Topeka s
franchise in the Western association for
the season of 1898. 1t will take some
hard work and wire pulling for Topeka
to get in and the baseball enthusiasts
cannot expect the franchise to be
granted unless Topeka works for it.
There are several other towns that are
desirOus of obtaining admission and all
the clubs must not number more than
eight unless the association should
change the rule. An eight club asSO-
citation is considered the best and if
there can be four in the west and four
in the east it will make q. compact cir
cult at each end and will be a better fin
ancial scheme than to have six in the
east and two in the west as it was
last season.
If Topeka is well represented at the
association meeting and the delegates
sent from here have money to back
their propositions, Topeka will very like
tatives from here can speak with a"me-
tallic" ring in their voice it cannot be
expected that the franchise will be
forced upon them. Now is the time to
