ton at the Los Angeles theater Monday,
September 13. The theme is that Of the
heroic constancy of woman's devotion
and love. AS the title indicates, the
play is American in its locality and its
characters are typical in their Ameri-
can individuality. The San Francisco
press, in their reviews, pronounce it one
of the few plays of the present decade
which. from its own deserving, was
greeted by the unqualified popular ap-
proval which attended its production.
The company included in the cast were
selected personally by the author, as be-
ing the ablest representatives for the
characters in which they appear. Many
of these artists are already familiar in
name and reputation to local audiences.
Mrs. Leslie Carter, who impersonates
the title role, in which she was the orig
inal representative, will doubtless here
repeat the success which attended her
performance in the east. The sale of
reserved seats opens Thursday, Sep
tember 9Th, at a. m.
ORPHEUM.-(Adva Announce
mentO This theater, never behind the
times in its offerings seems to be outdo-
ing itself next week if one-hal f its prom
ises are fulfilled. Prof. Leonidas, with his
wonderful cat and dog entertainment
will be the star attraction and a most
decided novelty. This animal trainer
has succeeded in making number of
felines and CANNES the best of friends,
and their performance together
is said to be marvellous. A pus-
sy cat who makes balloon ascen-
sion and parachute jump is one Of the
stars, while big dog acting as a
policeman Is another. That famous
monologue artist, Johnnie Carroll, re-
turns after an absence of two years. Mr.
Carroll in his Celtic entertainment has
no rival and his success here on his last
appearance is sure to be repeated. He
brings a selection of new and popular
songs that are sure to become the fad.
Mary Arniotis, the female Sandow,
and properly billed as the strongest wo
man in the world, is another of the new
names on the program She is an
nounced to raise five men seated on
ladder, hold up with her teeth a table
on which a child does skipping rope
dance, and other marvellous feats of
strength. The Racket brothers, in
their unique and pleasing act will be
seen one more week. The Nichols sis
ters have become great favorites in their
black face specialties and they will be
retained. John c. Fox and Miss Allen
will also be seen again in their charming
comedietta. Gus Williams must have
great many friends in Los Angeles. as
it is by their request that he is kept here
one week longer.
In addition to the regular Wednesday,
Saturday and Sunday matinees, there
will be extra performances on Monday
fternoon-Labor day-and Admission
day-Thursday.

Acrostic to Papinta

Prismatic the colors, in light out of gloom
Aslow with the radiance of star light and
moon,
PAPINTA glides, graceful, to music's
sweet sound
In folds of soft tissue, her form stands re-
vealed;
Not Venus herself could compete in the
field.
Thought f1eeting fails to describe her with
calm,
And sight is bewildered in sensuous charm

Sherman Grand Army Post No. II,
Department OF Maryland, held mem
Orial services May 31st at Friendsville,
We thank the people for the
liberal contribution of flowers
and for the interest taken by the
Sunday schools and others. There
were more old soldiers attended this
service than on any former gathering.
Especially do we tender our thanks
to the band and choir for their excel
lent and appropriate music; also to
the speakers, namely, Rev. E. R.
SkidmOre, Mr.. John Matthews and
Mr.. John Shartzer, for the short and
appropriate addresses, followed by 4
few remarks by the writer. | need
not give the line OF march and routine
of services, but suffice It to say that
all were interesting and instructive.
1t was a solemn day to US, to carry
our minds back to the time and place
whore some beloved comradc fell in
battle or by disease.
There being no regularly located
cemetery at FriendsVille, the deceased
soldiers are lying in different places,
namely, Blooming Rose, Ryland's,
Van Sickle's Lowdermill' Garey's,
Selbysport, Sisters, Friends, Hoyes,
Sand Spring, Ringers, Fixes, Leigh
tons, Reckner's and Thayer's. The
flowers We're cOnsecrated in the church
and the decorating done by special
detail. Thirty-seven graves in all
were decorated.
The Sons of Veterans are organiz-
ing. This has been cur desire for
several years, Among the number
enlisted are some Of the leading bust
ness men of Friendsville and vicinity.
We believe they will continue to keep
sacred Memorial Day after the old
soldier has answered the last roll call.

toward arousing sentiment in b ialf
of good roads. The whole subja of
the condition of the roads has been
freely discussed in various puFlica-
lions and at the meetings of far. lers'
and other societies of late yearsI and
the agitation has already borne{ .uit.
In the West and the South the n alter
of the width of the tires and of VI icles
is attracting attention, and tlE..e is
quite a movement in favor ofhwide
tires, which are known to be l.luch
better for several reasons than flvow
ones. Tests made in Missouri on
strated that the same horse ptwer
will draw a heavier load on wide
wheels than on narrow wheels 4 and
that there is also an improvemk INT in
the roadbed by the employment of
the broad tires. The advantage of
the wide tire is very marked5 for
instance, on q macadamized road it
was found that the power required to
draw ton on narrow tires frew a
ton and a quarter on wide tires. On
gravel roads the advantage of the
wide tire was even greater-bver 30
per cent, in fact, while on drt, hard
dirt roads, free from ruts, the l9vant-
age of the wide tire was SO PEI cent.
On spongy roads the advantage was
so per cent, and on wet, soft pasture
land it ran up to 100 per cent.
1t is on sandy roads that the broad
tire is shown to the best advantage,
for it packs the sand closely, instead
of ploughing it up as the narrow tire
does. The consequence is that every
body who uses broad tires is doing
much, without any special effort, to-
ward the making of good roads. In
France The advantages of the broad
tire are so well understood that the
use Of the other kind is forbidden
under q penalty. There is a law also
in Connecticut providing for the
width of tires according to carrying
capacity, and the farmers are discuss
ing Che subject elsewhere. The broad
tires, however, are shown to be so
much superior in the ways described
and so much more to the advantage
OF everyone using the roads that the
reform, one would think, should come
of itself, without the need of waiting

counts are heavy it is an evidence
that the business men are preparing
for re-entering into active business
pursuits. The May reports to the
Comptroller of the Currency show
much improved condition of the ma
tiOnal banks of the great cities in this
particular. Their loans and discounts
are increasing, individual deposits are
heavy, and there is a general tone of
improvement and an evidence of bust
ness revival which will increase from
month to month when business is
able to adjust itself to the new tariff.
Republican doctrines are evidently
making rapid inrOads in the South
when such a rOck-ribbed Democratic
paper as the New Orleans PicayUlle,
can adopt Republican tariff principles
as it does in the recent editorial which
says: THE rice industry can thrive
on nothing less than the protection
accorded it by the Dingley bill. 1t
has suffered severely under the VIII
son law, as the low rates of duty do
not protect domestic rice producers
from the foreign rice raised by the
pauper labor of the Orient"

BUSINESS reports from all parts of
the country continue to be encourag-

that the quantity of business handled
through the country is nearly as great
as in the years of greatest prosperity,
the May business exceeding that of
April, which was within 10 per cent.
of the largest on record. While the
margins Of profit are smaller than
heretofore, the amount of business
handled is large and with gratifying

which wrecks the happiness of many
a young girls life writes Evangelist
Dwight l., Moody, in the June Ludie$
Home journal, lis the common delu-
sion that woman can best reform a
man by marrying him. 1t is a mys-
terry to me how people can be so
blinded to the hundreds of cases in
every community where tottering
homes have been wrecked, because
some young girl has persisted in mar
rying a scOundrel in the hope of saw
ing him. have never known such
union, and | have seen hundreds of
them, result in anything but sadness
and disaster. Let no young girl think
that she may be able to accomplish
what loving mother or sympathetic
sisters have been unable to do. Be
fore there is contract of marriage

there has been real and thorough re-
generation

Some Rambling Thoughts.

In last weeks letter we talked of
batties,-those things you enjoy read
ing about,-but we only got as far as
telling you that you had to struggle
with your brains against others, in
stead of with deadly weapons, like
the men of former ages. That article
had to do with,fighting, fair and square
in the open,-just the sort of gfihting
strong boy thinks to be honest
But we are not always able to choose
the manner of our fighting. We may
be quite willing to stand up and test
our strength hand to hand with the
enemy, but he may succeed in shut
ting us up in a city or fortress-in
other words, he may besiege US, and
then instead of the beautiful motion
OF marching troops deploying into
line of battle and the excitement of
aides-de-camps scattering in various
directions, there is the silent, suIlen
waiting for assault, and the noiseless
work Of the sappers as they endeavor

walls of the besieged with mines of
