GOLD RIP WILL PLAY ON.
Joseph Jefferson Makes Chicago
Theater Goers a Speech.

Chicago. Dec. Joseph Jefferson has
no intention of retiring from the stage
at present
He came before McVicker's curtain
last night and told his friends-au the
theater could hOld-that he is here to
stay. And he was thanked with a turn-
ult Of the same old applause that he has
been listening to for half century.
He finished his engagement in the
city with two of the biggest audiences
ever under the McVicker roOftree, ven
cradle and historic as it is.
AT the close of the first act he made
a speech. He said:
AS this is the last night of my en-
gagement here it would be unlxind for
me to refuse your request for a speech
and it gives me pleasure to say few
words. In the meantime let me assure
you that 1 made a good speech last
night, but suppose there is little con-
ISOLATION in that for you.
I must tell you that I have a feeling
of great plasure and gratitude to ex-
press to all of you for the cOrdiaity
and kindness for me that seems to be
always expressed by ChicagOans. It is
so years ago that I first came across
the waters of Lake Michigan-Tny faith
er was the manager of a theater at that
time.
I recall this to bring to your mind
that I have played to your grandfath-
erS and grandmOtherS, and to explain re-
cent newspaper comments to the effect
that 1 was about to retire, in some
cases supplemented with hints that 1
ought to.
This is not only a matter of personal
consideration, but one to be considered
by my friends, and 1 don't believe that
they want me to step out of the har-
ness yet. hope 1 shall be the first to
discover the loss of histrionic powers,
and I promise you that 1 viii not lag
superf1uous. At present I have not the
slightest intention of retiring. CThis
was accorded rapturOus applause-)
Your reception of that statement as
sures me that you don't want me to re-
tire right away. When [ do leave the
stage want to retire with good will and
gracefully, like the well-bred dog that
always quietly walks down stairs and
out when he sees preparations being
made to kick him out.

COLONY FOB EsKIMOS.
Peary's Arctic Children to Be Given a
Little Reservation.

New York. Dec. Those eight Es-

OF all the results of the last trip of

brought back from near the Pole seem
to be the most genuine They certain

But these gentle, greasy innocents

the real ESkimOS of snow hut and polar

So they are to be studied in this res

nails.

A Complete Cure Effected by

Now Enjoying the Best OF Health,

With Digestion Perfect.
"My mother was subject to sick head
aches and indigestion for over q year.
She was unable to stand for any length
of time, and was obliged to stay in a dark
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was SO weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered SO much
that she became but the shadow of her
self. One day I happened to read tes-
timoniaI about Hoods Sarsaparilla. It
Sounded So Truthful
persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparills and
several boxes of Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
of health. Her digestion is good and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. She
is AZ years old and says she feels as well
as when she was 16. Hoods Sarsaparills
made a complete cure in her case"
