"Lo,E FINDS THE WAY"
Mrs. Fiske Entertained IA Large and Fash
ionabIe Audience.

Mrs. Fiske Entertained IA Large and Fash
ionabIe Audience.
Considering the fact that the the
atrical season had virtually closed,
and the weather was uncomfortably
warm, the large and fashionable audi
ence which assembled at the Opera
House last night was compliment to
Minnie Madden Fiske, and a tribute
to her genius. Mrs. Fiske appears to
delight in going beyond the narrow
bounds of convention in the selection
of her dramatic roles. The character
of Madeline" in Love Finds the
Way" is said to have no counterpart
upon the stage. 1t is a German crea-
ton, and was adapted for her by Mar
guerite Merrington. 1t affords her OPP
portunities to entertain and instruct,
and even to appeal to the intellect, and
her art accomplishes these ends.
The play is defined upon the pro-
gramme as a comedy of sentiment, but
there is much more pathos than com
edy, and Mrs. Fiskes emotional work
is incompatible. Her methods are
original, and there is a certain subtle
finesse about her action which Is per-
haps its principal charm She is
slightly heavier than when she ap-
peared here last season. and it can
not be said that the extra averdupois
increases her personal attractiveness.
Her reading was a trile indistinct at
times, and the constant commotion on
the street somewhat married the pro-
duction. The stage settings could
have been improved upon. Mrs. Fiske
received a curtain call after each ac.
Those who saw her as Tess last sea
son, naturally contrasted her work in
the two roles, and there was a division
OF sentiment with reference TO the part
in which she appeared TO best advant-
age.
The support was strong Messrs.
Belleville and Craig and Miss Bennett
were especially good

The special features committee of
the Oriental street fair, to be given
during the last week in June under the
auspices of Wheeling Lodge of Elks.
has outlined programme for the
six days which is rich in. promise of
interest and fun. The programme is,
as a matter of course. simply in its
embryonic state. and will be elab-
GRATED upon before the opening date
arrives. 1t is sufficient to indicate
that the Elks propose to make the
fair all that is claimed for it, the big
gest show in the history of Wheeling.
Monday the exposition will be form
ally opened with a street parade, in
which not only the E,lks and exhib-
itors will participate, but the animals
and people of the Orient, the camels
and elephants, the Japs, Arabians,
Hindoos, etc, who give the perform
ances on the Midway. There will be
"a band concert in the enclosure.
Tuesday will be Ladies' Day, with
baby show as the piece de resist
ance. The competition will be free,
and the committee expects not less
than a hundred entries. The health
lest, plumpest and prettiest infants
will receive prizes.
Wednesday will be Elks Day. There
will be thousands of visiting mem
bers of the order. and it is expected
that the Grand Exalted Ruler will par
ticipate in the exercises. For the de-
lectation of the Elks end their friends,
there will be public marriage cere-
mony at nine o'clock The fortunate
couple has not yet been chosen. A
handsome bed room suite will be the
wedding present of No. %.
Thursday will be Merchants Day. 1t
is probable that local business men
will declare half holiday in order TO
give their employees an opportunity to
see the elephant" 1t would be a
good time for jobbers to entertain out
of-town customers. At night Prof C.
Resleytracy will exhibit kaleidoscope
views of the battles of Manila and San
tiago. The Little German Band will
play.
Friday will be Children's Day. and
several features will be added to the
programme which has thus far been
arranged. There will be a cake walk
by Prof. Delbrugge's dancing class OF
children, for which two prizes will be
awarded. At night there will be an
elaborate fireworks display.
Saturday will be everybody's day,
and the biggest crowd of the six days
will witness the close of gala week
Special features will be announced
later. There will be balloon ascen-
sion, pyrotechnic display. and brass
band concert. A cake walk upon new
and ovel lines is also under considera-
ton.

A GIGANTIC COMBINATION.

New YORK telegram to the Pitts
burg Dispatch says:
The exclusive story of an immense
combination of steel interests was
practically confirmed last evening by
John w. Gates, president of the
American Steel and Wire Company,
who returned from a European trip
Saturday. The combination, unless
the present plans of the promoters are
changed, will include practically all of
the big concerns Of the country, and
will have a capitalization of between
100000 900 and $500, 600, 900.
"The proposed combination is vet
far from complete in point of detail,
but the presence in this city of the
representatives of the great steel in
terests CT the United States led Mr..
Gates to say that the next few days
will probably see it whipped into tan
gible shape.
AS | have just returned from
abroad Mr. Gates explained, i cannot
go into details in this matter, but it is
probably safe to say that the combina-
ton will go through and that it's cap
ital will be nearly $500 100000. About
all the big companies may come in. the
principal ones of which will be the
Carnegie Company, the National Steel
Company, the American Steel and
Wire Company, and probably the bar
steel interests as now represented by
the Republic Steel Company
Mr.. Gates was asked if the Fed
eral Steel Company would be included.
am not prepared to say as to
that was the reply. 4 am going to
have talk with Mr.. Gary tomorrow
and with Mr.. Flick and others who
are in the city. / see that Col. French.
of the Sylvan Steel Company. of Hi
nois, is here, and also Myron Wick.
of Youngstown, and H. L. Kimball. of
Sharon, Pa. AS matter of fact. the
town is full Of iron and steel men,
and it is very likely that you will hear
OF something important being done
within the next few days
"As an evidence of the rise in prices
consequent upon the rush of business.
Mr.. Gates told of an order placed here
by the Russian government last Octo-
Der for 10000 tons of steel rails. Tt
was agreed that the price should he
SIG or $3.50, but the Russian govern
ment tackled on certain specifications.
one Of which was that the steel should
not contain more than one-tenth OF
one per cent. or arsenic The com
pany rejected the proposals. and after
yainly trying in the markets of Europe
at an advanced price the order was
again offered to the American concern
with the Objectionable clause elinin-
ated. but refused at an advance of s11.
Now the Russian government said
Mr.. Gates, is between the devil and

the Trans-Siberian railroad and cannot
get them in Europe or America with
out waiting MONTHS

The street car situation did not ma
terially change during the twenty-four
hours ending last night. A few times
during the day, people were noticed in
the cars, but the patronage as a total
amounted to nothing. There was, per-
haps, more public discussion of the sit
uation than upon any day since the
trouble commenced, and citizens freely
exchanged views regarding the posi-
ton of the men and the company.
This indicates that some lively think
ing is being done by the community.
During the afternoon the union of
the strikers met and discussed the sit
uation. In response to reportorial en-
quiries, it was stated that the men were
in the fight to a finish. A statement
was prepared for publication, which
will be found elsewhere in this issue.
The Executive Board of the Trades
Assembly also met, and as result it
was determined to hold a great labor
mass meeting upon some day the latter
part of the coming week, the exact
date to be announced later. Letters
were sent to Eugene Debs and Samuel
Gompers, asking them to be present
and make speeches, and other letters
will be written to-day to leaders almost
equally prominent. Those present at
yesterdays session did not care to dis
cuss the details of what was said and
done, but contented themselves with
the general statement that the coming
meeting would be a big thing.
Nothing transpired, worthy of notice
on the side of the company, as far as
could be ascertained. Cars were run
very frequently, and the service ap-
peared to be good, up to a late hour
last night. The company appears to
have all the men it needs. to operate
the cars. No trouble of any sort oc-
Cured in the city during the day, and
none is expected.

had gone down to do some pisca-

to lzaac Walton and caught one
of the largest snappers that ever
struck hook. In landing the
beauty his line broke and the fish
fell on a narrow neck of land in
about six inches of mud, and,
that the prisoner should not es-
cape, the doctor in his zeal
dropped his rod, made a John
Gilpin leap, landed on the fish,
and after an exciting contest
gathered in his prey. Next to
winning souls to Christ, nothing
is so greatly enjoyed as spirited

THEY RIDICULE IT
Many People Ridieule the Idea OF an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia and
stomach Troubles

RIDICULE, HOWEVER. Is NOT AR
GUMENT, AND FACTS ARE
STUBBORN THINGS
Stomach trouble are so COM
mon and in most cases, so obsti-
nate to cure that people are apt
to look with suspicion on any
remedy claiming to be a radical,
permanent cure for dyspepsia and
indigestion. Many such pride
themselves on their acuteness in
never being humbugged, especial
ly in medicines,
This fear of being humbugged
can be carried too far, so far, in
fact that many people suffer for
years with weak digestion rather
than risk little time and money
In faithfully testing the claims
made of preparation so reliable
and universally used as Stuart's
DySpcpSid dOlctS.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's are vastly different in one
important respect from. ordinary
proprietary medicines for the rea-
son that they are not a secret
patent medicine, no secret IS
made of their ingredients, but
analysis shows them to contain
the natural digestive ferments,
pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive
acids, Gold Seal, bismuth, by
drastis and nux. They are not
cathartic, neither do they act
powerfully on any organ, but
they cure indigestion on the COM
mon sense plan of digesting the
food eaten thoroughly before it
has time to ferment, sour and
cause the mischief. This is the
only secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and
never can cure Indigestion and
stomach troubles because they
act entirely on the bowels, where
as the whole trouble is really
in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
taken. after meals digest the food :.
That is all there is to 1T. Food
not digested. or half digested is
poison as it creates gas, acidity,
headaches, palpitation Of the
heart, loss of flesh and appetite
and many other troubles which are
often called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists
everywhere at so cents per pack
