JACK AND THE BEANSTALK."
For three years this fairy burlesque
of Barnet and Sloane's has been one of
the most popular musical pieces on the
road. Thousands have heard it, theatres
are still being packed everywhere, yet
this will be its farewell tour, for Klaw
and Erlanger, its owners, wish to take
it off before it's popularity shows signs
of waning. That everybody likes Jack"
is evident, because those who hear it
once go again and again, and piano
score of its dainty waltz melodies and
charming ballads is found in almost
every family of the slightest musical
proclivities.
It win not be necessary to dwell at
length upon Jacks many good points,
because those interested are familiar
with them already. The management
declares that this seasons production
contains more people and is in other
respects superior to that of previous
years. The scenery and costumes are
all new, but the leading features-the
eight pretty maids, the four-and-
twenty blaekbirds, the FREELY ballet, the
10 good fairies--are all retained. Madge
Leasing has gone, but in her part Of
Jack is Louise Hepner, whose figure is
perfection, whose face is fascinating
whose voice is superb--so her press
notices say. Ross Snow is still the
funny fairy queen, and Nellie Lynch
the timber Miss Muffett. but Harry c.
Blaney, Marie Celeste, and Hettie
Moore are new Corners in the parts Of
King Cole, Princess Mary and Mother
Hubbard respectively. 1t would not
seem like the real Jack" without
Harry Kelley as Sinbad, and his comic
songs and agile dancing will continue
a feature of the production. Altogether
Jack is likely to have crowded houses
for his brilliant farewell.
THE BoWERY BURLEsQUERs.
The Bowery Burlesquers is the name
of new builesque organization which
has been playing long season in the
metropolis and which, the New York
Mirror says presents the best show Of
the kind the city has seen for a long
time. Truly Shattuck, a songstress with
a peculiar name and a magnificent fig
ure is the leader of the company, and
those sensational acrobats the Nelson
Sisters, Gladys Van, known as the
pocket edition of Lillian Russell, and a
brace Of sketch teams are included in
the membership. Then there is an In
dian princess, Yutakmee who possesses
a wonderful soprano voice. The title of
the show is derived from the burletta

This stirring and patriotic melodrama
was the sensation of last season at this
house. Handsome Leander Blanden.

leading man, and it was an open aues-

ton, the play or its hero. In view Of
the notable triumph of American arms

and sketches have enjoyed a great
boom, and none Of the new crop of her
Dimes is more attractive than the
wronged Cuba, whose vow of ven

the play its name and plot. The cast

REVERSING ORDINARY BUSINESS
RULES.
U'rom The New orleans rimes-Democrat

F'rom the New Orleans Times-D emocrat)
A telephone exchange is one enterprise
at least in which the law of cheapening a
product through handling it by wholesale
is completely and curiously reversed The
more business n telephone company Sc
cures the more expensive it becomes to
furnish the service. Every new sub
scriber added 10 a modern switchboard
must be connected with the wires of
every other subscriber. IT. to illustrate,
there are three thousand numbers al
ready on the board, the next instrument
put in necessitates exactly 30g1 connec-
lions, 1t is true, they are not very long,
but they represent an enormous amount
of mechanical detail Then each extern
sion of the system naturally increases
the cost per capita of putting subscribers
in touch with each other, and the result
of these conditions is that exchanges in
small towns can furnish the service very
much more cheaply than those of the
cities. The demands of metropolitan life
make the indefinite expansion of it's tele-
phone systems absolutely necessary, but
in the small places it would be folly to an
exchange to do much soliciting for bust
ness after covering the field fairly well
These are singular facts, and very few
people have ever taken note of them.

In addition to Mr.. Martin retiring from
the stamp scheme, several of the mer-
chants who are in it have expressed
themselves as being very much disap-
pointed with the SCENE. If they wish
to discontinue it will be only necessary
to advertise to give either stamps or cash
to the amount of per cent of the pur-
chase. That kind of a proposition will
bear on the face of it a plain, square
deal and will give your customer a choice
or an opportunity to go where they see
fit to make their purchase. Go to an es-
adjustment of long standing that will
sell you goods that you may desire, at
a reasonable price. with guarantee that
it is worth something, or if any merchant
in the city would set apart per cent
of his annual sales and purchase a line
of articles or goods and make a display
of them to be given out on a 5 per cent
basis, from their own establishment
there would be a saving of 3 per cent.
The printing need only be a card with
numbers to be punched when a sale is
made, or even stamps, which could be
utilized for adv ertsing, the cost of which
would be covered by their loss through
the carelessness of the customers or fail
ures to present them.

More men, women and even little child
rem have been suffering with rheumatism
and neuralgia the present year than ever
before. Statistics from all over the coun-
try show this-doctors reports prove IL
Possibly the unusual weather has had
something to do with it. but there is
one great reason back Of it all. The
great cause of rheumatism and neuralgia,
or even muscular cold is because there
is uric acid in the blood. This uric acid
should be thrown out OF the system, and
can be if the kidneys are only in strong
and healthy condition, but. being weaned,
these great organs are not able TO throw
the uric acid from the system. and so it
gets into the blood, poisons the blood.
settles around the joints, infiames the
muscles and causes what we call rheuma-
tism and neuralgia.
Is this not clear? Can you not readily
see that there is only one way TO cure
these troubles, and that is by keeping
the kidneys in a strong and healthy con-
dition? If they are kept strong and well,
and drive the uric acid from the blood,
there will be no more rheumatism or
neuralgia.
India, Africa and Australia, it is ac-
knowledged that there is but one dis
covery which can or ever does fight the
battle against uric acid. and drive ii from
the body. That discovery is known uni
versaly throughout the world as War
ner's Safe Cure.
In writing upon this subject, Mr., Will
lam Edward Rosbon. surgeon of the
Royal Navy of England said:
81 conscientiously and emphaticaIly
state that 1 have been able TO give more
relief and effect more cures by the use
of Warmers Safe Cure, than by all other
medicines in the British Pharmacopoeia-"
DR.. n. Dyer of Wurtzburg, Germany,
said:
Il have prescribed Warmers Safe Cure
constantly TO those suffering from kidney
or liver diseases, and especially rheuma-
tism and neuralgia In some instances
where the case seemed hopeless, L have
seen the sufferer restored to complete
health greatly to my surprise and graft
fcation, and 1 constantly recommend
it in all circles of my acquaintance"

sentence appeared at the feast written In
an unusual Geographic form.
It has been asked If the many inaccu-
racies already discovered in the Book OF
Daniel, and especially in the fifth chap
ter, necessarily show that this entire ac-
count of the feastEwas invented. and II IL
is not possible that there may be in II
an echo of history which can sin be de-
tected The latter question must certain
" be answered in the affirmative.
FOUNDED ON HISTORICAL FACT.
That such a feast as mentioned in the
Book Of Daniel actually took place on the
eve of the fall Of Babylon is not alto
gether improbable Although we have
no parallel account of such an event In
the inscriptions on any Of the clay cylin-
ders that have so far been found regard
ing the capture OF Babylon by the Per-
SLAMS. II may, nevertheless. be mentioned
that both Herodotus and &enophon allude
to such a feast at this time. In fact, ac-
cording to Herodotus. Babylon was cap
tured while the besieged were OF their
guard during a festival. Xenophon also,
in abiding 10 the capture of Babylon.
says that Cyrus. the conquering Persian
general. heard that a feast was golng
on.
1t is highly probable that the story OF
the feast of Belshazzar told OF I'm Daniel
is simply another version OF thes anne
historical fact. II cannot be denied, how
ever, that the whole Book Of Daniel as
pretending 10 be an historical record is
open to all manner Of attack It Is now
the common opinion Of critics that the
book must not be considered az intended
by the author TO be a veracious account
Of events which took place at the time
Of the fall Of Babylon. but rather as a po-
Htical pamphlet Of the reign Of Antiochus
Epiphanes II is today the general pOin-
ion Of most scholars who study the Old
Testament from a critical point Of view
that the Book Of Daniel cannot have orr
giuated. according TO the heretofore ac-
cepted theory. at the time 81 Cyrus.
And here are thee hief reasons FOR this
conclusion:
