THEY NEVER NAKED UP.
The Circus Canvass Mans Epitaph on Nine
 Disorderly Tramps.

From the New York Sun
 Ihere may be rougher, more villainous and vindictive men than circus managers" said the press agent, "but in my sad young life experiences I have never known any The canvas man, as you may know, is the functionary who rolls up the juggler's car pet and performs other menial tasks dur ing the show. He puts up the tents and takes them down and does all the heaviest and dirtiest work that has to be done around circus Our boss canvas man came up to me one morning after we had settled down on an Illinois town and said:
 "Heard anything from last nights stand?'
 "'No,' said 'why?'
 Nothing he answered, and went off grinning.
 "The next morning in the next town he came around and asked the same sort of question:
 ".Heard anything from Tuesday nights stand?
 "He still refused to tell me what was be- hind the question. He asked the same question every day for ten days. On the eleventh day we crossed into Indiana lie came and sat down by me on the train just after we crossed the line.
 "TI tell you about that now he said. I told him to go ahead.
 "'You remember that Thursday, before I got nervous he said, we had a mess with gang of hoboes who stole all the stuff out of the grub tents while we were in the show. Well, they laid out Johnny Kern sos he had to have his head sewed up that night, but they got away. The next night they turned up again. They'd followed us on the first freight. There were nine of them. They caught six of our boys fnYRf upset the barrel we were playing on and got some of the money. They knocked out Jim Coyle that night so bad we had to leave him behind in the hospital But they all got away.
 "'The next night was Sunday. and we was travelling all day, and we thought we had shaken the hoboes. But Monday night the very same gang raided the grub tent just before the stuff was cooked. There wasn't any of us around, so nobody got hurt. But Johnny Kern, who had his head in a bandage yet from what they did to him on Thursday, he saw them going away, and he followed them They went back into the country most two miles from the show By the time Johnny got back to the show it was after midnight. We was to stay over another day, so there was no packing going on. Johnny walked me and told me what was going on. The two of us walked six of the gang. We picked up a few tent malets and hatchet. It was as nice walk ever I took. The moon was shining down through the trees and there was soft warm sort of a breeze coming up the road in our faces. Johnny took us up to a big barn out in hay field. "They're in there," he says. We opened the door, and sure enough, there they was, eight of them sleeping, laid out on the hay in one corner. There was a window or something up above, and the moon was shining down on the feet of them. They looked like they was having lovely dreams
 "Then he stopped. We'll I said after awhile
 "'Well what?' he said.
 "Did you wake them up?' asked
 "'Naw,' he said slowly, as he got <p from the seat, they never walked xp.'"

ELECTRICAL COOKING.

New York Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch.
 The company that is about to place the electrical kitchen within reach of the fiat dweller of modest means estimates that the cost of running it for a family of six will be about $7 a month. The cost of an outfit is from $50 to $2O0, according to size. The concern has figured out that the cost of heating by electricity is from 1 cent to 16 cents per hour, according to the object heated, whether 1t is acurling iron or an oven This rate is about a quarter more than gas would be, but that don't count when one stops to consider the difference in the systems. The electr cal fairyland is almost here.

THE VANDERBILT PRIVATE CAR.

From the New York Journal.
 The Vanderbilts give Theodore Roosevelt a private car free of charge for his cam paign tour.
 They believe that he will pay for this if elected governor
 Depew advises them on such matters, and he is usually right.
 If you want governor who gets pri- vate cars free from the Vanderbilts in hope of future legislative reward, vote for Roosevelt But do not howl about corpor- ations and trusts afterward. You will get what you deserve.

INCOMPETENCE OF THE
 HOSPITAL ATTACHES.
Dr. Frye Gives Some Rather Candid Testimony Before the War
 Investigators.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, ,Oct. 19-The War Investigation Commissioners held their sessions in the City Hall to-day, ex- amining a large number of regimental and other officers. One of the most out spoken witnesses of the day was Dr. Frye of the Third Division hospital. He con- demned some of the methods in vogue in the hospitals, and said that in many cases the contract physicians and mem bers of the hospital corps were incompe-
 pr. Frye said that in all the hospitals with which he had been connected there had been deficiency of bed linen.
 Dr. Frye expressed the opinion that in several instances convaiescents had been sent away from the hospital before they were sufficiently advanced to permit them to go in safety. He had no per sonal knowledge of any individual cases of this kind, but was satisfied that such cases had occurred.
 He spoke in very uncomplimentary terms of the men engaged in the hos pital corps, saying they had been picked up at random over the country and were generally a scabby looking lot, not fit to adorn any walk of life. He also spoke deprecatingly of the contract sur geons, saying that he would not be will ing to trust his family or friends to 50 per cent of them.
 Many of them,' he said, "are recent graduates from medical institutions, and i do not consider the average medical graduate capable of taking charge Of from twenty-five to fifty typhoid fever cases.

4 WARNING
To Weak and Debilitated Men.

Sufferers should beware of stimulating appliances of any nature. They are advertised to cure nerve troubles, when in reality they are nerve destroy CTS, veritable man-killers and wreckers of human life, made to sell, not to cure.
 Debilitated men can never be restored to PERMANENT strength except by thorough and proper constitutional treatment. This cannot be done by mechanical or other temporary stimulants. The latter only leave the unfor- tunate victims, after a few days, weeks or months, in condition which is almost hopeless.
 In restoring weak, nervous, Respondent and incompetent men to true and lasting man. hood, DR. MEYERS & CO.,, by the use of the most effective yet harmless remedies and methods, gradually tone up the ENTIRE SYSTEM. Thousands i a test to this.
