~THE PLAYS

That immenseley popular comedian, Sol Smith Russell, who will play his annual engagement at the opera house next Tues day evening is one of those actors for whom his audiences feel a personal affection. This is due to the simplicity and quaintness of his methods, for, after all, there is no hu- man quality which has such staying power as simplicity. It is not genius itself, but no great genius ever existed without it.
 This quaint simplicity, then, this impress of homey truth, Is the secret of MT. Rus sells magnetism. and from it proceeds his secondary charm of genialty. In his new play it is said MT. Russell has cerated an- other of those quaint and tender hearted characters which have given him his unique place among the players of the day. Mr. Russell appears as "The Hon. John Grigs- by in Charles Kleins play of that name his role being that of poor mans lawyer in an Illinois town, who champions the cause of young school mistress whose character has been attacked by the man who made Grigsby a judge. He wins his fight and the girls heart.

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and In-
 digestion.

The national disease of Americans is indi- gestion, or in its chrome form, dyspepsa, and for the very reason that it is com- mon many people neglect taking proper treatment for what they consider trifing stomach trouble. when as a matter of fact, indigestion lays the foundation for many in- curabe diseases. No person with a vigor- ous, healthy stomach Will fall victim to consumpt'on.- Many kidney diseases and heart troubles date their beginning from poor Indigestion; thin, nervous people are really so because their stomaohs are out of gear; weary, languld, faded out women owe their condition to imperfect indigestion
 When nearly every person you meet is af- hicted with weak digestion it is not sur. prising that nearly every secret patent med fcine on the market claims to be a cure for dyspepsia, as well as a score of other bies, when in fact, as Dr. werther says. there is but one genuine dyspepsia cure which is perfectly safe and reliable. and moreover, this remedy is not patent med- icine, but it is scientific combination of pure pepsn Gree from animal matter). veg etable essences, fruit salts and bismuth. It is sold by druggists under name of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. No extraya- gant claims are made for them, but for ir- digestion or any stomach trouble, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are far ahead of any remedy yet discovered. They act on tbe food eaten, no dieting is necessary simply eat all the wholesome food you want and these tablets will digest it. A cure results. because all the stomach needs Is a rest, which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give by doing the work of digestion.
 Druggists sell these tablets at 50 cents fa1f ;oI. sent free by addressing F. A. Stuart Co.,, Marehall, Mich.

well said that with Industry and integrl- ty" there could be no failure. To this let me add the intelligence to direct. From what we have all seen here today this in- stitution we confidently believe is doing all these. Let us congratulate it's manage ment and let us all do all we can to speed its influence for good among the eolored race.
 "Mr. President, as the president of the United States, we honor you as faithful public servant we respect you; as the rep resentative of this great nation in the time of war we pledge you our loyal support, and, if need be, our lives. All these things We might feel toward any good president. But, sir, when you allude to the graves that contain the sons of our fellow patriots, as national charge, why, we love you. This much we give to the man whose great heart pulsates with our own in sympathy and love for the defenders of our cause. Let us hope, sir, that this national patriot ic sentiment you so feelingly extend may grow and grow until the last vestige of bad feeling is wiped away, and the south ern confederate patriot, hand in hand with the federal patriot, shall have equal access to the pension fund of common treas- ury. Sir we acknowledge that the sword which pierced the heart of the south was in the hand of a patriot, defending what he thought was right we also declare that
 
 ern soldier was the blood of patriot who died for the cause he thought was right. Therefore, both sides were patriots, and were right
 'I hope and prophecy that at no distant day the young men of this country. actu- ated by the noblest and purest motives, will lead up hand in hand the confederate and federal to common treasure, to get his stipend of material gratitude allowed him by patriotic and generous, forever reunited people. We have shown you that we have heroes down in this country Why, you just give the opportunity, give them San Juan hills to storm and harbors to obstruct, and we will show you that Wheelers and Hob- sons are as plentiful in Alabama as crab- grass In a nigger's cotton patch in a wet June.
 And now. ladies and gentlemen, let us all while maintaining the rights of all, do what we can to hold up the hands of Booker Washington and all like him who are giving their lives and labor to the edu- cation and training of his.race."

Opposition form the South

The opposition in the senate comes chief ly from supporters of MT. Bryan. largely southern men. A canvass of the senate discloses that up to a few days ago there was nearly, but not quite, two-third vote in favor of ratification, and that the oppo- sition to the republican side was confined to probably not more than three men.
 The most determined opponents were men who are the closest to MT. Bryan of all men in congress.
 MT. Bryan today, after conferences with many democrats at his hotel, visited the capitol, and at one time had around him in the cloak room nearly the entire demo- cratic membership of the house. This morn ing MT. Bailey, of Texas, took breakfast with MT. Bryan. in his private room, and was with him for long while.
 It is evident that some very important political plans are. being laid out by the Bryan Chicago platform combination.

NO EFFORT TO
 DEFEAT TREATY Democrats Will Make No Concerted Fight
 Against It. THE IDEA OF C0L0NlALlSM Will be Opposed in Debate, But Action
 Will Come Later. IMPORTANT POLITICAL PLANS Are Believed to be on Foot as a Result of the Conference Between Bryan and Bailey in Washing
 ton Yesterday.
IMPORTANT POLITICAL PLANS

Washington, December l6-lSpecial')- The treaty will be ratified, and from pres- ent indications there will be no effort to defeat 1t, at least on the part of the demo- crats The latter will most likely empna- size their opposition to the idea of expan- sion in the debate, but wait for another op- portunity to fight it.
 This situation is likely to be brought about by many considerations, but chiefly by the fact that MT. Bryan advises his friends against making this fight on the treaty. The fact that in the south a cele- bration of the signing of the treaty is be- ing held, which is being made the occasion of the loftiest patriotism, also contributes greatly to the stifiing of the opposition to the treaty.

MUSSELMAN GETS HIS MAN
Newly Appointed officer Comes ON
winner in AZ Lively shoot
ing Match.

Patrolman Harry f. Musselman narrowly
; escaped being shot last night in an attempt
to arrest John 7. O'Keeffe, one of a gang
! which has been making considerable trouble
for residents in the neighborhood of Eight
! zenith and Ninton streets. The officer or
, dered several young men l~ounging in front
of the saloon at that corner to move on
and in the resulting duel and hand-to-hand
fight Musselman's head was grazcd by a re-
volver bullet, which broke the flesh on his
ear and left powder burns on his throat.
O'Keeffe was beaten about the mead and
is at the police station on the charge of
, shooting with intent to kill.
Several of the crowd had been arrested on
previous occasions and O'Keeffe had APP
parently gone to the saloon with the inten-
ton of taking revenge on the policeman.
He was armed With a thirty-two caliber re-
yolver and emptied the five chambers dur
ing the encounter. He had made himself
at home on the corner until . o'clock, when
the officer spoke to him and his companions
and asked them 10 move on. O'Keeffe
5prang to his feet and the two men Crap
pied. The patrolman had dropped his club
and they were on equal terms until O'Keetfe
drew the revolver and discharged it in his
opponents face with the slight result men
toned. He then broke free and ran north
on Eighteenth street. turning to fire as he
ran.
Musselman had by this time unbuttoned
his coat and reached his revolver and quite
a fusillade followed. The workmanship
appeared rather uncertain on both sides, and
after the bullets were all spent the officer
overlook O'Keeffe in the alley at the rear
Of the saloon. He appeared to good advan-
tage in the scene there and the fugitive
received some hard blows. Several long
gashes in his scalp were later dressed by
a police surgeon.

at Swift's packing house. The arresting Of

Cure of Diseases in the Res

NATURES OWN REMEDY.
by Inhalation Alone Can Germs he
Reached and Destroyed.

It has often been said by scientific and
medical men that nature has provided n
cure for every disease, an antidote for
every poison. This saying was never so
clearly exempliiied as in the discovery Of
HYOMEl, the first Dry Air Germicide ever
found of sufficient power to kin the germs
of all respiratory diseases, yet volatile
enough to impregnate every particle of air
breathed and leave 1t free from moisture.
For years physicians nave labored TO find
some cure for Catarrh, Bronchitis. Asthma
and Consumption, and statistics show how
utterly they ave failed in their efforts,
This has not been for the lack of a remedy
which would kill the baciili of disease, but
due to the fact that some remedies could
be used in no other way than through
sprays, douches. atomiZers and Yapor
which %precluded all possibility of their
ever entering the bronchial tubes and
lungs. What a contrast between these old
methods and the newt Since HYoMEI
was first discovered this new germicide,
which can be carried I'm the air you breathe
TO the minutest air cells OF the lungs, has
been tested by over 3Sl. 900 people, and, al
though every bottle has been guaranteed,
but eleven persons out of this vast number
have reported no benefit received and asked
