THEATER A WEAPON.
Emperor William Calls It to His As
sistance.

Berlin. June 21.-The official text of
Emperor Williams speech to the com
pany of the Royal theater delivered on
June 16 was published here today. The
following are extracts from his majes-
tvs remarks: The theater should be
the instrument of the monarch and like
the school and university work for the
preservation and the highest spirit and
qualities of our noble German father
land.
THE theater is also one of my weap-
ons.
1T is the duty of the monarch to in
terest himself in the theater as 1 have
seen by the example of my father and
grandfather for the theater can be an
immense power in his hands.
THE artists must aid the emperor to
serve the cause of idealism, with firm
confidence in God, and continue the
fight against materialism and the un-
German ways to which many of the
German play houses have unfortunate
ly already descended"
The general manager in return for
the thanks, assured his majesty that
the Royal theater would gain new vic
tories for dramatic art, under the en-
perOr'S guidance.

FRIGHT AT A FUNERAL.
Most Notorious Woman in the United
States Buried.

Chicago. June 22-While the casket
bearing the remains of Minnie Daily,
the notorious pickpocket, was about to
be placed in the hearse the overloaded
sidewalk gave way. The large crowd
that had gathered in front of the little
red-stone house shrieked in fright, and
rushed from the dangerous spot unin-
jured The pallbearerS became con-
fused at the breaking of the planks,
and in the midst of the excitement John
O'Brien, who was directing the fun
eral, pushed the casl<et into the hearse.
The walk in front of the residence is
elevated five feet, and nearly every
inch of space was taken by curious
spectators. They were asked several
times to get off the walk, but were
so determined to get a view of the
warning of danger. After the requiem
at the house had been sung more men
and women filed out, and added to the
living weight on the sidewalk When
the word was passed around that the
remains were about to be brought out,
the crowd across the street came over
and surged in front of the residence.
At sight of the casket the reckless
multitude swayed to and fro, stretch
ing their necks to read the inscription
on the name plate. AS the pallbearers
reached the middle of the walk creak-
ing noise told of supports giving way.
Cries of look out" arose from the
crowd, and there was wild scramble
for the middle of the street. Fearing
that the walk would collapse altogether
John O'Brien, who was close behind the
casket, gave it quick shove into the
hearse The weight of the people mad
forced down the ancient walk foot

JOHN MORROW'S DISCOVERY GIVES
One of the Worst Diseases Known to
Man is Overcome by Modern
Science

When the common symptoms of kid
ney troubles are neglected the careless
sufferer is in great danger of contract
ing diabetes or Rright's disease, two Of
the most terrible affiiction that have
been imposed on mankind. The rem
edy for the earliest stages, as well as
the worst cases, one that will restore
the kidneys to sound health, is Nor
rows Kidneoids. These yellow tablets
should be taken when the back aches,
or when headaches, chiIlness loss of
energy or pain in urinating show that
the kidneys are out OF order.
Diabetes, that disease which is almost
as deadly as Bright's disease. is indi-
Gated by failure of strength and emac-
iation. The mouth is pasty, skin dry
and hard, the bowels are constipated.
vomiting is frequent, the vision becomes
dim, memory and intellect fail, and the
temper becomes irritable.
A recent case of the cure of this aw-
full disease by Morrow's Kidneoids is
that of Mr.. c. E. Clippinger. a we'll
stone street, Springfield. Ohio. He
writes:
81 have been constant sufferer from
Kidney disease for the past year. Very
often upon arising IN the morning the
pain was so severe that L could scarcely
get about at all I consulted with dif-
ferent physicians and they ali told me
that 1 was troubled with diabetes, and
treated me for same, but 1 failed to de-
rive any benefit from their medicine I
was finally persuaded to give Morrovfs
Kidneoids trial, and to my great sur
prise. after I had taken but one box.
the pain left me and l have experienced
no trouble since then. I feel entirely
well, and am enjoying better health In
every way than for several years"
The fame of MorroW's Kidneoids has
created a demand for them everywhere
and they are now sold by all dealers at
SO cents box, six boxes for 81. so. II
for any reason the dealer cannot SUD-
ply you, they will be sent postpaid on
receipt of the price by the Herb Adedi,
cine Co.. Springfield, Ohio.

$12 PER TON FOR COAL.
Jamaica Colored Mans Whack at
Americas Treasury.

Washington, June 22.-The heavy de-
mand for coal is inducing a number of
thrifty individuals near the seat of war
to secure large stocks of this necessity
of naval warfare on the presumption
that the government will purchase it
rather than allow it to fall into the
hands of the enemy.
The state department has received a
draft for a large amount, drawn by a
colored man at Jamaica, who had
stocked up coal and without contract
or negotiation, drew on the department.
for the full stock at $12 per ton As
this grade of coal is selling for less than
So at points where the navy can secure
it in this country the draft was cosid-
cred out of reason, even had any az
rangements been made for purchasing
The navl officers when inquiry was
made of them, said they knew nothing
of the stock of coal. The draft is not
likely to be honOred and this particular
stock of Jamaica coal will be left on
the owners hands.

The man in the chair of torture was re-
monstrating with the doctor of dental
surgery, says the Washington Star.
That's all right" said the dentist, but
you are foolish not to let me build that
tooth up with gold for you"
What's the use? 1t will cost me $40, you
say, and l cannot afford to eat my $5-a-
week board with $40 10th. 1t is too much
dead capital"

story. About ten years ago 1 was trying to
make a living in the west in partnership
with fellow who wasn't any luckier than
/ was. We worked around to the north,
where the winters are as bad as they are
in the KIondike. and our funds kept get
ting lower and lower until starvation sat
down TO table with us. The weather was
getting colder, too, and the last wagon
train out was booked for the four months
till the trail was open meant death sure.
The price to go with the train was $25
each. Just what $50 amounts to you VIII
never know until you need it as badly as
we did.
I'VE hadn't a cent on earth, and nothing
to put up to get one with. 1t was indeed
cold day for both of us. BY Saturday noon
we had given up all hope of getting out,
and had retired to our shanty TO drown
our sorrows in quart of whisky we had
discovered no matter how. AS we sat gaz-
ing In stupid despair at each other, with
the full bottle between us my partner grim

gold in his filled teeth caught my eye. L
concealed my feelings and quietly asked
him how many teeth he had filed. He told
me there We're six, and one of them was

of the Chinese Emperor.
From the Chicago Times Herald.
New York, Feb. 9.-Mrs. George Gould
created a sensation at the Drexel hall at
Delmonico's last night by wearing the En-
peror of China's crown.
This costly gem was purchased by Mr..
Gould at the close of the recent war be-

The most expensive crown that any .soci-
ETY. leader in the United States possesses.
The crown has eight feathers, studded
with diamonds and the eight royal epler-
aids, and is about four inches high.
1t is said that this is the first time that
Mrs Gould has worn the crown a. a large
function, and only those in exclusive So
ciety are aware of its being in her possess
sion.
