 I think when what have done as liber- ator, what have done for education, what I have done for the freedom of the press and speech, what I have done as dictator in the defense of Washington in 1861, and what I have done for the most liberal con- stitution in the world-the Kentucky con- stitution-are all forgotten, I shall be re- membered as the author of the annexation of Alaska.

 The result was they refused to confirm the telegraph charter and to pay the re- bate, and the scheme. was killed. Now what does common sense say? Would they give favor to me, who was their friend, or to MT. Seward, who was their enemy? When the telegraph company could not get this rebate they asked that they should own the land for depots, etc., to avoid complications with Russian laws. I brought this claim before the emperor through his personal friends, for in Russia there are certain men who have great in- huence with the emperor, and they were disposed to give us the fee simple to the land so that we might execute our laws without delay.
 But in the meantime the Russian Fur company was about to expire. Now the emperor had some friends provided for by this sinecure When war threatened to

Animals on the Stage.


 The number of animals who make liv- ing on the theatrical stage is very large indeed. Just now eight English fox ter riers are delighting all Paris with the part they take in "La Jeunesse de Louis XIV" and there is no doubt that they are the linen of the moment" Dogs, it seems, are the best animal actors, and cats are the worst. Only last year St. Bernard died for whom an American theatrical man. ager had paid e6,250, solely because he was ESQ splendid in melodrama-" Lions, bears and elephants have done well on the stage; lizards and serpents (vide Mime. Sarah BernhardtD have also been covered with stage glory, and mice have come to the fore with great credit to themselves and their trainer.
 But while so many dumb things" have been excellent actors, one of their number at least has been immortalized through failure. Moliere himself was the actor who brought about the unrehearsed scene between himself and his ass. The play was "Don Quixote," and Moliere play Sancho. Some minutes before he had to appear on the stage he was waiting in the wings, mounted on his ass. But the lat ter suddenly forgot his part and insisted on apeparing upon the scene without de- lay. Nor was it of any avail that half a dozen assistants hung around his head and clung desperately to his tail The ass, with Moliere on his back, dashed wildly among the actors on the scene, and the fiasco would have been complete had not Moliere saved the situation by shouting to the audience while jogging along, Par don, gentlemen! Pardon. ladies! But this confounded beast has come on against my wishes" The public responded at once with roars of laughter and applause, but Moliere never again mounted an ass.

The seriousness with which the vaude- vile stage Of today is regarded presents u new view of that form of amusement This seriousness possibly indicates that the vau- deville is growing better. It at least shows it's prosperous condition. It is the result
 of new phase of vaudeville in this coun-
 try that has been brought prominently
 forward by notable people forsaking the
 legitimate stage for the vaudeville.
 The vaudeville has solved one of the great
 nineteenth century problems. The actor
 has been confronted with financial issues.
 The vaudeville managers held out tempt-
 ing offers It was question of pecuniary
 profit to the actor. Vaudeville managers
 have a penchant for doing hazardous
 things Then are always alive to opportu-
 mites. It is a speculation on both sides.
 In many instances the move on the part
 of the actor has been successful. There have
 also been successful failures. That an
 actor from the regular stage should become
 a vaudeville favorite through his reputa-
 tion made in the legitimate is not by any
 means assured. His reputation influences
 the managers of vaudeville houses, but an
 audience is not always as enthusiastic as
 a manager. The patrons of the vaudeville
 demand talent that is peculiarly adapted to vaudeville environment. That an actor comes from the so-called legitimate at mosphere into less-ambitious fields Is no reason that he should meet with popular favor. This has been demonstrated with more than one acquisition to the vaudeville stage. The seriousness then which is char acterizing the vaudeville of today is tend | ing to place it on plane somewhat above | that of mercenary motives.
 The question is suggestive of no end or reflection since the vaudeville is largely re- sponsible for the progress of cheap theaters which has been denounced by many people as a march of legalized vandalism upon the drama of this country A large percent age of play-goers encourage the cheap theater. They advocate popular-priced companies which are characterized by feat ures not unlike vaudeville. The bit Of dialogue in vaudeville that Is regarded as l sketch" and which is supposed to sup ply the classic atmosphere that Is not | touched upon by "specialties' presents | in a measure the condition of the cheap | companies of today that are touring the | country. The great number of stage aspir- ants that are turned out yearly from the dramatic schools verify the statement that the profession is flooded by many who are using the. drama purely as a commercial object. No past age ever saw such a mania for lowering the intellectual stand

Lincoln, our chief, was dead and made no sign, then I came in to claim my rights. On account of a late personal af- fair, my life has been reviewed.

 A fleet was sent to the United States which harbored in New York and that frightened the powers-for England, France, Spain and all the European gov ernments were against the United States except Russia. Germany was as violently plotting against us as the rest. England backed out after putting her fleet under sail and the movement was defeated by the power of Russia standing in defense of the United States by threatening her in China and India.
 But the Russian Fur company, antici- pating the probable loss of Alaska-when asked them to make sale of their prop erty-a company was formed in the United States and bought their property. As 1t

A Remarkably Successful Remedy for Dys-
 pepsia, Indigestion and Stomach Trou-
 bles.
 Dr. Wurth, in commenting on recent discoveries in medicine, said: There is none which is certain to be so valuable and far reaching in benefit as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, the new stomach rem edy; say far reaching, because people little realize how important sound stom- ach and vigorous digestion Is to every man, woman and child.
 Indigestion is the starting point of con- sumption heart disease, Brights disease, diabetes, nervous prostration, liver troubles; why is this so? Simply because every nerve, muscle and tissue in our bodies is created and nourished from the food we eat. If that food is, by reason of weak stomach, compelled to lie for hours, a sour, fermenting mass of half digested food, it poisonS the blood and nervous system, creates gas which dis tends the stomach and bowels, causing pressure on the heart lungs and other organs and seriously impeding their ac- tion.
 He says further, the point to direct at tention is not the nerves, nor heart, nor lungs nor kidneys, but the stomach, the first cause of all the mischief
 The remedy to use for indigestion and weak stomachs is not some cathartic, but a remedy which will digest the food, in crease the flow of gastric juice, absorb the gases, and Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab lets will accomplish exactly this result in any case of stomach trouble. because these tablets are composed of the di- gestive acids, aseptic pepsin, Golden Seal and Bismuth, pleasant to taste and not being a patent medicine, can be used by anyone with perfect safety. I believe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure any form of indigestion and stomach troble except cancer of stomach.
 Full size packages of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by druggists at 50 cents A book on stomach diseases together with thousands of testimonials will be sent by addressing Stuart Co.,, Marshall, Mich. 2-16-18-20-Wkly,

VAUDEVILLE VS. THE CLASSICS.

ard of the stage by such unconscientious
 work and such unworthy motive. re-
 action must come. The cheap theater is
 daily usurping the profits that belong to
 the drama of this country.
 The Dramatic Mirror takes an eneourag-
 ing view of the situation. It states in sub
 stance that there are signs Of reaction
 against the scum on the surface of metro"
 politan amusements. The wholesome sem
 timents that pervade other American com
 munities has rejected productions that were
 made for ultimate touring purposes. Ihe
 press Is beginning to cry a halt on the in-
 vasion of the stage by the interruptions
 dollar chasers and through its medium the
 voice of the respectable and conservative
 clements of our population is being heard. A cartoon in newspaper the other day pictured theater parties of the near future arriving at the play house in masks, to
 conceal their identity. It may come to
 this should dramatic -debauchery continue
 much longer"
 + The nineteenth century could not be- oueath to the twentieth a more worthy her itage than what happily may be termed the renaissance of drama.
 Among the women of the stage who are giving a permanence to the classics are Modieska, Ada Rehan and Julia Marlowe. Miss MarloWe takes the view that there IS a definite reason why Shakespeare and the classic drama generally SnOuiu peCoiho aP | preciated more widely in America. The more good literature of which so large part is dramatic literature, Is read in the schools, the more will the taste developed by it influence the theaters.
 The development of public taste in the direction of the classic drama will be the | result of the advance in education. The | discrimination of the public is the great | end to be attained. The opponents Of the l modern school of acting that are following l in the footsteps of that illuftrious coterie, Booth Forrest, Wallack and Davenport are conspicuous in putting forward in some 1 form the real standards of the drama. The actors of the younger school who are stead- 1 fast to the traditions of the old are con l vincing the public that the classic IS in evidence.
 The public may laugh at the idea of any reaction in favor of the classic. It may I declare that the ideals of the classic stage
 have clashed with mannerisms of the day | It may pronounce the actors who attempt l the classics as fickering into utter inef1- l cency. But ideals remain. They will | bring about a bewildering crisis. At pres i ent the policy of the classic in America | is being directed by Richard Mansfield, | Sol Smith Russell and Augustin Daily. They are the diplomats of the stage. ANNIE KENDRICK WALKER.

MORMONs ATTACKED
BY Mob OF Men Near Cumberland, Sat
urday

CUMBERLAND, Md, August A.
Two Mormon elders were attacked by
band of twenty-five determined men
at Flint Stone, this county, yesterday
afternoon and the Mormons only saved
their lives by escaping to the noun
tainS.
Not many miles from Flint Stone
the Mormons have erected a large
tabernacle, where they hold confer
ence every year, and which is attended
by about one hundred Mormon elders.
During one of these conventions well
known young woman Ga Miss Keefer)
because so infatuated with their doc
trine that she went insane because her
parents refused to allow her to attend
the meetings.
Mormons have been successful in
that section and have made many con-
verts, several families having been in
duced to sell out their farms and re-
move to Utah,
Recently they have grown holder,
and yesterday started to hold a meet
ing at Flint Stone, when number of
citizens concluded to treat them in
such a manner as to be a warning to
all other Mormons in the future.
