DISQUALIFICATION

The realistic comedy drama, The
Pay Train, was witnessed by fair
sized and very appreciative audience
at the New Park opera house last
evening. The plot was replete with
startling climaxes, which were duly
appreciated by the audience. Miss
Ollie Halford, the star, in the role of
Bessie Berton" and .'Foxey" was
very acceptable and merited the lib
eral applause which she received
Jeremiah Judge, ''the sheriff and bag
gage master, furnished no end of
amusement, and Jack Brett, the
villain, was appropriately Kissed at
every appearance. The scenery and
mechanical effects were highly salts
factory and enjoyed by the audience.

II, that funniest of all character
comedians, George w. Monroe, will
present his new farce comedy that is
said to have made in the east the big
gest kind of hit already. 1t is
called Her Majesty, the Cook" and
has already proven, so the exchanges
say, the greatest laugh-provoker Mr..
Monroe has ever given a fun-loving
audience. 1t is not only the newest
farce comedy of the day, but if COM
ments are to be given any credit, is
the best. OF course Monroe. as all
who have ever seen him know, is the
funniest man in his line on the stage
in whatever he undertakes, and he
never undertook failure. Notwith-
standing these points, the comedy is
in itself, so say the critics, very, very
funny, and with Monroe in the title
role has been from its initial presen-
tation bowling success. The sup
port is excellent, the company COM
Prising 81 of the best people in the
farce comedy and vaudeville line.

The Advantage of Buving

In large city where special stocks
are possible is apparent to any one,
and goods of choice design cost nc
more than the other kind if one knows
where to go.
There is store in Chicago in which
is kept nothing but silverware of ar
tistic pattern: and precious stones in
odd, original settings.

New York, Oct. 6, 1898.

| Messrs. Wells, Richardson & Co:
Gentlemen-If ANYBODY in the

chance to observe the general weak
ened condition of the men when they
started back to the United States, as
compared with their sta lwart condi-
| tion when they sailed from San An
| tonic June s, | think | had.
Oklahoma is generally regarded as
a healthy climate, and last MAY, when
Heft tn ere, 1 hardly knew what sick
ness meant. Earlier in life, however,
l had lived in the east, and after a
month in service knew that what |
needed, in my general rundown con-
dition, was nerve tonic. | knew if
my nerves were fixed up there would
he no trouble about my general health
as soon as | got away from the army.
l also knew the position that Paine 5
celery compound occupied, although
had not had occasion TO use it much
myself. | got few bottles of it and
began to take it and give it to 4 few
of my acquaintances.
1t actually seemed to build up my
nervous constitution almost as rap
idly as the southern climate had
torn it down. The same thing was
true of the other men i gave it TO.
Unless / had found this tonic to re-
store my nerves / feel sure that |
would have gone TO the hospital at
Montauk Point, and | might have
shared the fate of many other poor
fellows whose impoverished condition
did not yield to the Doctors treat
ment.
1t gives me pleasure to recommend
Paine's celery compound as the best
remedy ever sold in America.

A TRAMP applied at the residence of
Mrs. Frederick Cooper, in Mt Vernon,
o., for food, and was refused by a
servant. When the family arose next
morning they discovered that the
kitchen had been entered during the
night. Nothing had been touched
save eatables, which were scattered
in such a manner as to indicate that
some one had made square meal off
what was left from the evening meal
and what had been prepared for the
meals next day. Then, with fine sar-
casm, the beggar of the night before
disclosed his identity by sticking a
note in the bread, upon which was
written: Now. stingy little girl.
will you give hungry man some
thing to eat?"

Literary.

In tlmeliness, variety, and positive

pronounced a rare magazine. A
character sketch of Col. Theodore

sequences, the personality of one of
the most independent. original and
forceful of living Americans. The

III. j. w. Dams portrayal of The

subject. Then there are three or four
very strong short stories-one by
Stephen Crane that shows him to
great advantage in an entirely new

well as beauty.
1t is not often that a contributor to

of dollars in fitting himself TO write
knowingly of a subject. But, if Popu-

expended in the acquisition of the in

article which appears over his sigma

handles the pen with a bold, firm hand
that shows him a man of resources.
Another Cosmopolitan contribution
which will appeal to every man and
woman is the attempt of Harry Thurs

parts of the modern woman of fas
