of the Waite Opera Company was due TO
ADorn, who was stage manager and CO.

duced vaudeville between the acts and

for several years. and his opera company
was used as the initial attraction at the

these cities exclusively for several years
at the Keith houses, and his opera com

This committee was vested with I'M

Are Good Things for Americans to Have
If They Visit Cuba.
Washington, March 12.-Consul Gen
eral Lee communicates to the Depart
ment of State information derived
from the passport bureau in Havana
to the effect that no changes whatever
have been made affecting passports
beyond holding the passports present
ed for wise for twentyfour hours be-
fore delivery. Although Americans
and others are allowed to land with
out passports, no one can leave port
or obtain a passage ticket by an out
going vessel without presenting pass
port duly vised by the government,
which is kept by the consignees of the
vessel for police inspection on board,
when it is then returned to the pas
senger if in order.
The Consul General recommends that
all Americans intending to visit Cuba
should provide themselves with pass
ports from the Department of State,
which will serve to identify them
properly while in Cuba and greatly ia
cilitate their departure when ready to
leave the island.

A Register correspondent called at
the office Of the Steubenville Pottery
Company and Superintendent Donald
son in an interview stated that every
department is running, He says. the
pottery is carrying larger stock than
ever before and are naturally better
prepared to meet trade. At present
the pottery has $50 orders on hands as
against so orders at this time last year
and trade since the first of the year
has been comparatively the same. He
says the pottery has laid in more ma
terial than ever before in anticipation
of better business as Mr.. Donaldson
saws this season promises to be better
than 1897. He says while some are
buying sparingly, orders are coming in
from others in good size, also that
their salesman, who is in Maine, is
sending in orders, but he writes:
when the people get back from the
war we will get more orders The
annual report Of the pottery for 1897
showed an increase in business over
any of the five preceding years. The
figures of shipments speak for them
selves. For 1897 there was shipped p
goo casks, in 1886 there were 1900 and
in 1895 there were 2,100. Some fine
specialties are being gotten out for the
fall trade A novelty that will take
with the trade has been gotten out in
the shape Of a plaque with gold edge
finish and in the centre the battleship
Maine in delft. The pottery is turning
out ware equal to and even better than
imported ware while it is lighter than
the ware of other potteries. In white
granite the plates used TO weigh IS
ounces. now in porcelain granite and
semi-vitrous ware they weigh only IL
ounces. A sample Of the famous
Grandley ware of England when placed
alongside the Steubenville pottery ware
shows that the local ware is much finer
in quality and is lighter, the latter be-
ing a desired quality.

KNIGHTS OF THE MYSTIC CHAIN.
Silver Wave Castle No. II, A. o. X
Of the NJ. c., at its last meeting, had
eighteen members present and two
visitors from No. 49, The esquire de-
gree was conferred ON one candidate
in very impressive manner by the
degree team. Wheeling City Castle
No Is conferred the sir knight degree
on enc candidate Thursday, March
10th, assisted by members of No. II.
Silver Wave No. II will hold social
time on the fourth meeting night,
March 26th. A good time is ex-
pected.
If we look at the list of suspended
members for nCn-payment of dues, we
usually find that it is not composed of
the names of those who are the poorest
but largely and almost entirely of the
names Of those who are able to pay.
These suspended members owe the Cas-
tie a debt-a debt for money expended
while they were members of the Cas-
tie partnership How can any man
honestly repudiate or refuse to pay
such debt? No honest man will. He
may overlook it. The system of sus-
pension for non-payment of dues, in
my estimation, is wrong and should
be repealed, and expulsion for non
payment of dues would be more in
keeping with the act, and the the fact
that the names of the dishonest debtor
who has been expelled for nOn-pay
ment of dues will be heralded all over
the State as the names of expelled
members would bring many an other
wise derelict to time, rather than rest
under the exposure Of his dishonesty.
But some sir knight will Immediately
demonstrate against this, and ask,
Where is your fraternity? And | would
reply, Where is the fraternity Of a
man who won't pay his honest debts,
when able to do so? The partnership
in the expenses and benefits began
when the member entered the Castle.
They have gone on, especially the ex-
penses, ever since, and they have be-
come a charge against him as well as
against others, and he cannot repudiate
it without doing it dishonesty.

Irult and vegetable essences, pure
aseptic pepsin and golden seal put up
IN the form of pleasant tasting tab
lets and sold by druggists under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
One or two of these tablets should be
taken after meals and allowed to dis
solve in the mouth and mingling with
the food in the stomach, digests 1t
completely before it has time to fer
ment, decay and sour.
On actual experiment one grain of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will di-
gest three thousand grains of meat,
eggs and similar wholesome foods.
1t is safe to say if this wholesome
remedy was better known by people
generally, it would be national bless
ing, as we are a nation of dyspeptics
and nine-tenths of all diseases owe
their origin to imperfect digestion and
nutrition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a
secret patent medicine, but fifty cent

weak stomach than fifty dollars worth
of patent medicines and person has
the satisfaction of knowing just what
he is putting in his stomach, which he
does not know, when widely adyer-
tised patent medicines are used.
