''Uncle Toms Cabin" when first pro-
duced, was considered to be one of the
finest stage pictures ever presented.
Since then, however, cheap and inferior
companies have produced the play, dis
regarding the original idea of the piece
and giving a poor performance.
Mr.. Griswold has a company of IN
usual strength, and has surrounded
them with a wealth of effects, scenery
etc. He does not advertise and does
not produce double Uncle Toms
CABIN but faithfully presents the play
as it is written and was played years
ago. The bloodhounds are not poor,
half starved creatures but fine speci-
mems of ferocious man-eating canine
race.
The allegoricaI scene in the last act
is one of the principal features of the
performance, requiring 1900 feet of can
vas and the services of ten people for
its complete performance at Topeka

the meeting, at which Bishop Ninde,
formerly a resident of Topeka, delivered
the principal address. Bishop Ninde
now resides at Detroit, but in opening
his address he spoke of the warm at
tachment he had for the people of To-
peka and Kansas.
4 have a home feeling as I stand
here said the bishop, land always
have when I am in Topeka. never tire
of sounding the praises of this great
state. Although 1 was a resident here
for only eight years, have great in
terest in the state. I Travelled widely
through it and formed great attach
ment for it's people"
Bishop Ninde devoted most of his ad-
dress to telling incidents of his visit to
the missions of eastern Asia in 1894,
about the time of the war between
China and Japan.
Five hundred well drilled and well
equipped Europeans he declared, ARE
a match for a million Cinnamon, the
way they went into that war. Think of
soldiers going to war with a bird cage
in one hand and fan or an umbrella
in the other. And that is just what 1
saw them do. At another time when 1
was on the wall of Pekin saw the
soldiers get out a few old iron cannon
and a wooden gun, fourteen feet long,
bound around the breech and the muz-
zle with hoop iron. They expected the
very sight of that gun to fr1ghten the
Japanese away.
''China is held down by superstition.
1t seemed to me that all the room that
was not taken up with villages was
occupied by burying grounds, and it is
almost impossible to build railroad
anywhere. because the people believe
that if the graves of the dead are dis
turbed the spirits will haunt the living.
Il believe the emperor of China to be
a very remarkable man, but circum-
stances are such that he has not had
control of his own country. The Gus
toms are such that a man must be sub
Tnissive to his ancestors, and the en-
peror's mother has dethroned him.

carry out the reforms he proposes.

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Di-
gestion Means, Make a Test
of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indian
apolis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame, are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicines and
spring remedies; the real seat of mis-
chief is lost sight of; the stomach is
the origin to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irreg-
ular;in others, the kidneys are affected;
in others the bowels are constipated,
with headaches still others are troubled
accumulation of gas, sour risings and
heartburns.
Mr. A. w. Sharper of No. 81 Prospect
St, Indianapolis. Ind, writes as fol-
lows: "A motive of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few lines re-
garding the new and vaIua bic medicine,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. have been
a sufferer from nervous dyspepsia for
the last four years; have used various
patent medicines and other remedies
without any favorable result. They
sometimes gave temporary relief until
the effects of the medicine wore off. I
attributed this to my sedentary habits
being a bookkeeper with little physical
the tablets have overcome all these OBJ
stacles, for have gained in flesh, sleep
better, and am better in every way.
The above is written not for notoriety.
but is based on actual facts"

SOCIETY NEWS.

The first regular meeting of the City
Federation of clubs this fall was held
Thursday afternoon at Unity church.
The attendance was good and the clubs
were well represented
One delegate was to be appointed
from each club to serve on the recep-
ton committee; about 20 of the clubs
responded and the following ladies com
posed the reception committee, and dis
charged their duties in such a manner
that they made every one feel at home
al once: Mrs. ". A Johnston, mrs
Huron, Mrs. W. A. Morton, Mrs. H. o.
Carney, Mrs. J. D. Mcfarland, Mrs.
John Movers, Miss Flora Mayo, Mrs.
King, Mrs. c. F. Spencer, Mrs. Senour,

Mrs. NJ. W. Macferran, Mrs. c. s. Baker

Grafton was disposed of a short pro-
gramme was given. One delightful fea-
ture of the afternoon was the presence
of Mrs. Willis Lord Moore, who was the
president of the State Federation a. few
usual bright manner which always give
her hearers a feeling of disappointment
when she quits.
The past year Mrs. Moore has been
spending in California;; she went there
with the firm determination of fore
swearing clubs, for she had too many
clubs, in fact she said that she has
been dubbed to death. But she found
that it was not so easy to give up clubs;
she was all right however until she met
a club woman on the street and then it
was all over with her; she went to her
club with her and then she kept on go
ing. She gave a short sketch Of Cali
fornia club work which she says is far
behind that of Kansas, and she could
not say enough in praise Of the swift
advancement Kansas has made in this
work.
Miss Daisy Starr sang a solo, with
violin Obligato by Miss Pearlade Pres
colt; Mrs. W. A. Johnston gave talk
on the Travelling libraries and thanked
the ladies of the Federation for all the
help and encOura cement they have
given her in this work. A total of
eleven thousand books have been con-
tributed, nine libraries are already out,
two more are ready to send and Mrs.
Johnston receives calls for more nearly
every day.
Mrs. J. w. F. Hughes played a piano
solo which was followed by a short pa
per on the work of the Current Litera-
ture club by the president, Mrs. John
Mowers and Mrs. w. w. Mills told
something Of the work of the CONVEX
satiOn club.
Several new mem berS were taken into
the Federation and a committee was
appointed to make a few revisions in
the constitution.
The hostesses for the afternoon were
the members of the Western Sorosis
and after the meeting they served cof-
fee and waters. The next regular meet
ing will be in December.

GERMAN DUELING,
IL Takes the Place of Foot Ball, Row
ing and Other Sports


ing and Other Sports.
From the Chautanquan
one OF the most prominent features of
the picturesque side of German student
life is dueling. 1t is to the German youth
what sport is to the American college
boy. There are, however, two distinc.
kinds of duels. A real duel properly so
called, in which dangerous weapons, like
sabers or pistols, are used occurs very
rarely among the students. The students
duel is chiefly test of skill and prowess,
and very seldom has a directly fatal re-
suit. These duels are fought for various
reasons, sometimes, too, for no reason
whatever. Any slight insult or offense-
and German student is very "touchy"
and frequently most willingly offended
nay be made the occasion for a challenge
The makeup of dueist is remarkable
AS to grotesque appearance the foot ball
player cannot compare with the German
student. The right leg and the chest are
amply protected by cushion-like garments:
the right arm is guarded by a padded glove
reaching to the shoulder the neck is safe
ly covered with heavy wrappings, and the
eyes are shielded with tin goggles. The
rules and regulations regarding the COM
bat are intricate and are strictly enforced.
The duel is over when the allotted time,
fifteen minutes actual fencing, has passed,
'or when one of the complaints has re-
ceived a wound which the attending sur
geon considers somewhat serious (abfuhr).
To receive an abfuhr Is no dishonor, while
any show of fear Is considered disgraceful
Dueiing is, of course, forbidden by the
law. The authorities, however, connive at
Its breach, and interfere only when fight
ing Is done to excess or threatens to de-
generate into mere slashing. The Offend
ers when caught in the act are committed
to the Career, the students special prison.
