ADJUSTMENTS.

Five years ago the romantic drama
was dead and buried, apparently past
all hope Of revival. To-day IT has be-
come the fad. Alexander Dumas has
been the main cause of this return to
the doublet and sword, the waving
plume, big boots and flowing locks of
the devil-may-care hero Of the seven
tenth century. The version Of 1.-THE
Three Musketeers," that Henry GlazIer.
a young romantic actor who has won
his rights to stellar honors, will present
at the opera House tomorrow, was
made especially for him by Edmund
Day. and it is said to be fully equal to
either those of Grundy or Hamilton.
Mr.. Glazler has had thorough school
ing in the companies Of most OF one
great actor, and the fact that the enter
prise is under the management OF 2. D.
Stair, is a guarantee that 1t Will be pre-
scented in an adequate manner, both
in regard to the acting and the scenic
environment. The familiar characters
Of the play have been intrusted to a
capable company.

All indications point to one Of the
largest crowds Of visitors In Wheellng's
history next month when the annual
meeting of the grand lodge Knights Of
PythIas Of West Virginia assemblies
here. In all parts of the state the Pyth-
ians are preparing for the Wheeling
pilgrimage, and throughout western
Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio the in
terest in the affair is as general and
viii result in the coming Of many
knights from those sections
A meeting Of the general committee
on arrangements was held last evening
at the office Of the secretary, Charles o.
Roemer, and much business in connec-
ton with the approaching event was
transacted. Meeting with the commits
tee was Grand Chancellor Commander
s. A. Posten, Of Morgantown, who re-
ported that the greatest interest is man
Tested in the coming meeting among
PythIans throughout West Virginia.
1t was decided to hold the sessions Of
the grand lodge in the PythIan Castle,
at the corner Of Chapllne and Twenty
seventh streets, South Side, instead Of
at /. o. o. F. hall, the place which 1t
was Incorrectly reported would be Sc
cured for the sessions. AS the limited
number Of representatives are the only
ones among the visitors who will take
part In the meetings proper the de-
cIsion that they will meet at the Pyth-
ian Castle does not mean that the
crowd will follow them. ON the con-
trary, the crowd will remain up town.
Grand Chancellor Commander Posten
reported that the railroads Of West
virginia, eastern Ohio and western
Pennsylvania had granted special rate
Of one fare for the round trip. The
railroads, he said. were preparing to
transport thousands to Wheeling on
this occasion.
Information was received that the
Ravenswood and Parkersburg COM
panIes Of the Uniform Rank would give
flambeau and imp drills in Market
street, at the Mcclure house, This is
a spectacular feature that will delight
thousands.

IT had raised $500. but stu needs 500.

THE RAILROADS.

The deal has been closed with the
Pittsburgh locomotive works whereby
the Wheeling & Lake Erie is to add to
It's equipment 10 new mammoth freight
engines, says the Cleveland Leader.
These nre to be of the lnrgest type that
is now constructed. and Will be about
the first dash OF that road into the field
In the why OF supplying itself with
the latest style of equipment. In the
past the property has been having fair
equipment, but not being more than
a state road its demands have not
been such as to warrant 1t In following
the fads. 1t has now branched out
somewhat by purchasing the Cleveland,
Canton & Southern, and having three
important terminals It naturally feels
that 1t must assume more important
airs, especially since It hns made It's
home in Cleveland. The new engines
will be the diamond In Its shirt front,
no matter II that same is a 'dicky."
The engines, however, are Of the very
latest type, and are as heavy as the
heaviest, barring, Of course, the Illinois
Central monster, which Is world
beater. The specifications for the en-
gines show that they have cylinders
twenty inches in diameter, with q
twenty-eight inch stroke The drivers
will be fifty-seven inches in diameter,
and the boilers will be of the Bellepaire
type. The weight OF the engine on the
drivers will be 10000 pounds. The ten-
der Is constructed to carry 1,4O0 gallons
Of water and eight tons OF coal, and
Will have total weight on the trucks
Of $1,000 pounds. 1t is estimated. there
fore, that the total weight of these
engines, fueled and watered, will be
229, 900 pounds, or In round numbers Ito
tons.
This is but rough estimate Of tho
weight, and 1t is expected that when
the engines are on the road they VIII
weigh more than that. These pieces OF
machinery are OF the same size as those
now running on the MahOnlng division
OF the Erie, which are so large that the
tops Of the roundhouse doors had to be
cut out to accommodate them.
It is the intention OF the Wheeling to
put these engines on their heavy coal
trains that come up from the West Viz
ginla coal fields, and It has been sug-
Rested that some repairs Will have 10
be made to the bridges and trestles In
order to furnish sufficient strength to
hold all the weight they will pull. The
engines themselves, when drawing a
heavy train, will be terrible strain on
a bridge or trestle, and require the
strongest of such to sustain them. Tho
Wheeling. howeVr, proposes to i'm
prove its roadbed and track materially
Mt once, and It Is expected that before
the engines are GU the road will be IN
such condition that the engines with
their heaviest load can run over the
road with perfect safety.

THE STUDY OF FOOD.

When man knows that he depends
on food alone from which to make his
brains and that his success in life is
largely owing to the kind of brains he
has. 1t would seem the part of wisdom
10 study food n bit.
All men do not have the opportunity
to make n careful analytical study Of
the subject and are satisfied to have
the food experts attend to this for
them.
A food especially made to supply
the nourlshlng elements needed to re-
build the brain and nervous centres
hears the name Grape-Nuts, and its
use for ten days of two weeks produces
n sturdy, substantial and powerful
condition Of the thinking machinery.
enabling one to do things, to mike
money or succeed In whatever enter
prIse is reasonably undertaken.
Systematic. logical, concentrated
thinking ls the one requisite to success
and that needs good healthy brains,
well nourlshed. and the waste supplied

energy known to the user aud being In
the form Of delicious food they have
become welcome addition to the
tables Of brRlny people In all parts OF

sousa and His band.

A recent writer tries to demonstrate
that telepathy or mental telegraphing,
is the secret of John Philip sousa's re-
markable control,over the musicians of
his band. Call II telepathy, magnetism.
or what you will, II is none the less
fact that with q baton In his hand
Sousa Is the embodiment Of leadership.
II is his power In communicating his
ideas to his men and commanding their
reproduction in music that contributes
so largely to Sousas success In the
concert field. And again, he Is OF the
people and thoroughly understands and
sympathiZes with their musical tastes
and their musical limitations. In maxi
ing his programmes SouSa always
leavens the substantial musical selec-
lions with the lighter and dainty trifies
that find most favor in the uneducRted
ear, yet at the same time never de-
scendlng to anything banal or vulgar.
He will offer such model programme
at the two grand concerts to be given
by sousa and his band at Wheeling
Park Casino. on Sunday, September "a.
The instrumental soIoists selected from
the band for these concerts are Arthur
Pryor, trombone; Herbert l.. Clarke and
Emu Kenecke, cornet, and Franz Hall,
fiuegelhorn.
