Hoyt & McKee's comedy company
played Hoyt's latest production, "a
Stranger in New York" to a fair audi
ence at the Metropolitan Theater last
night The piece differs radically from
most of Hoyt's farce-comedy work. 1t
is a broadly humorous thing, without,
however any grotesque or burlesque
characters in it. It hinges in plot and
action around scapes and escapes at
q French ball in New York. There is a
good deal of lively music in the farce,
and plenty of graceful dancing. The
company is a large and very competent
one, with Anna Boyd and Joseph Coyne
as the leaders. The play was thor
oughly enjoyed, and if applause and
| laughter indicate success, the judgment
| last night was that the new farce is a
decided winner

IN OLDEN TIMES.

Many Things Were Different-Now-a-da days
the Public Profit by Experience.
When the striped pole or sign which
now indicates barber shop was en-
ployed to let the public know where
cupping or blood-letting was profess
sionally performed, close shaves were
of daily occurrence; not the easy re-
moval of the hirsute or hairy adorn-
ment of the head and face, but close
shaves from entering eternity. More
than one unfortunate entered the bar
ber-surgeon's doorway to leave it a
corpse or so weak that weeks were re-
quired to get the victim of malpractice
on his feet. Bloodletting was used for
everything, from hcartache to a corn,
and a pain in the loins was invariably
treated with two missions, one on each
side of the spine. Like plasters and
liniments, these helped from the
counter irritation they created, and
we presume that had Mr.. Calvin Will
son, proprietor of the leading shaving
parlor of Niles, Mich, lived in the
time of George Ill, of England, in
place of taking the course he did n
short time ago with his back, blood
letting would have been resorted to.
Read how he treated his trouble. Mr.
Wilson says:
My occupation has, very likely much TO do
with the cause OF my backache from which
have suffered considerable for n number of
years. standing on ones feet some DAYS IL
hours is hard on the best of backs, but when
you have pain across the lons, with lameness
and soreness, every time you move the muscles
OF the arm; long, long, before your daily task is
over you often wish you could go TO sleep.
tried everything TO better my condition, but
was unsuccessful until l used three boxes OF

ands of people say that 1t does not
protect them when away from home.
II has been said in mass meetings
that it was no longer the flag Of the
free. And yet there is not one OF those
who make the remarks referred to who
would not fight in a minute for that
same flag IL any one beside an Ameri-
can citizen spoke against 1t.
A singular fact concerning the Amer
lean flag and the people over whom it
floats is that with all reverence for 1t
they are dreadfully irreverent with 1t.
The flag is something TO be cheered
and saluted and honored in every way.
but when 1t is worn out 1t Is cast aside
and a new one substituted. Nobody
knows and nobody cares where the
worn out ones go to. Sufficient to the
day is the fact that they have served
their purpose.
This by no means refers 10 the bat
tie tiags. No, indeed. II there are
only three inches of red, white and
blue, and a single star remaining at
tached to the staff of such a banner,
the people think infinitely more Of it
than they would of the finest thirty
foot flag that was ever made. The
poor old rent and tattered banners all
have a meaning. There Is history
tragedy, romance and sometimes hui
NOR among the memories Of the dear
old relics. Let any one who doubts
that pay visit to the state house at
Hartford, Conn, that staid old town,
where 1t used to be against the law for
a man to kiss his wife on Sunday.

watch, there will be distinct evidences

Electric Fans In Sleeping Cars.

The Baltimore and Ohio Southwest
ern Railway officials have solved the
problem of cooling sleeping cars in
stations at night. At Cincinnati, Louis
vile and st. Louis this line has sleep
ing cars placed in the stations at 10
p. m, which do not depart until after
midnight, and in order to make them
comfortable and cool have placed 16-
inch rotary electric fans in each end of
the sleepers, thus removing the heated
and impure air from all parts Of the
car. The fans have been in operation
about two weeks, and have been the
subject of many favorable comments
from the travelling public.
