4 h gonism has given rise to single

4 striking Illustration of the high es-

<itical opponents was recently given
d tribute paid to him by Senator Nc
#urin of South Carolina, who, in COM
hitting upon the policy of the Presi

claration of war with recognition of
sban independence, said: 'The Pres

dealing with the war problem. I
led for the recognition Of Cuban in

ade a great mistake. The President
is right in refusing to recognize the

warming to his theme the South Car

the statement that within the last eigh-

Quick Fortunes for Faupers.

A few years ago, according to the
Populist howl in Kansas, the people
were paupers, but things have changed.
Now, in the platform of the state con-
vention, the Populists are demanding
that the state insure the property Of
the people at small cost. That is,
in eight years the former paupers have
accumulated property and desire the
state to insure their buildings against
fire.

SPECIAL VAUDEVILLE FEATURES.
"The DEVILS Auction" appears at the
Grand Opera House ON next Monday
night. 1t has always been customary
to introduce throughout the perform
ance of Charles H. Yale's Forever
DEVILS Auction" a number Of special
vaudeville features, whose speciality, al
though not strictly identified with the
plot OF this popular spectacle, is by
clever stage management and costum-
ing made a most interesting part OF
same. In the past Manager Charles II.
Yale has been fortunate in securing at
all times uncommon special features,
or rather novelties, that have not been
seen in other attractions, andL-in this

Walton from this rule. Miss Phyllis
Allen. whose phenomenal voice has
placed her at the topmost round Of
singers, either operate or otherwise,
will undoubtedly prove a revelation to
those who have not before had the
pleasure of hearing her sing. And in
little Miss Columbia, Mr.. Yale has Sc
cured an absolute novelty; which can
also be truthfully said about Alexander
Decca, the comedy trick cyclist.

will be that popular melo-dramatic
success, when London Sleeps" 1t will
be presented under the management Of
James II. Wallicl, and by one of the
strongest companies ever engaged to

lover, David Ensehardt, a famous ath-

shows how Queenie is rescued from a

Last evening the committee made the
following report to the Select Council

Mold In CelIara

Perhaps mold in cellars should be
encouraged as going to show that the
walls are damp, and hence that an I'M
healthy condition of things exists. If
however, it is desired to exterminate
the mold, it can be done by busting
it over with powdered quicklime. II
the walls are dry where the mold
grows, they should first be moistened.
After day has passed, the walls may
be washed down. 1t is said that the
growth will not reappear for two years
after this treatment, The lime mus;
be powdered as it comes out OF the
barrel. If 1t is powdered by shaking
it will not operate.
