There are probably few even among
those who use the typewriter who have
any proper conception of the variety
and universally Of the Ingenious sub
stitute for the pen. Although only in
its very early youth, it has already
penetrated into every corner Of the
earth. II has gone with invading
armies and explorers into the very
heart of Africa. Lieut.. Peary has in
troduced it to polar ice, and IL has trav-
eled thousands of miles over Siberian
SHOWS. It travels with every army and
fleet, and it was one of the first things
rescued from the sunken Maine. Two
of the most costly typewriters belong
TO the queen and car of Russia. They
are exquisite machines of white enamel
and gold, with keys of ivory. The queen
regent Of Spain uses one for her CORE
spondence, the khedive possesses one,
and, in fact, there is scarcely a court in
Europe where the typewriter has not a
place.-N. Y. Herald.

AMUSEM ENTS.
@THE IaTTIE MINISTER. /"


The presentation Of "The Little Min
lister" at the Grand Opera House on
Saturday by Charles Frohman's conn
pany of players should be cause for
rejoicing among local theatre goers.
This is the comedy that made such a
tremendous, but pleasant sensation in
New York last season. The sensation
was due to the wonderful attractive
ness OF the piece, it's charming love
story. and the admirably perfect way
in which Il was acted, as we'll as the
fact that everybody wanted to see It.
For 500 consecutive performances,
without break. IL crowded the Empire
and Garrick theatres one after the
other TO the doors. There was not even
standing room left at any performance.
Owing to this uniformly enormous
business, unprecedented in the history
of the American stage, "The Little MINI
lister" has been declared the success OF
the century. The same phenomenal
popularity accompanied Il TO Boston,
where II made an equally glorious rec
ord. The book ifs well-known. II is by
]. M Barrie and tells of the love OF
roguish, rippling-hearted Lady Babbie
and Rev Gavin Dishart, in the Scotch
village OF rhmms. All the delicious
beauty of the book is preserved in the
comedy. and its quaint and interesting
characters seem as real as II the audi
ence were sitting in the middle OF
Thrums swapping experiences with
Tammas Whamond and the other
elders OF the auld kirk. Charles Froh-
mans production already has had the
overwhelming endorsement or the me-
tropoiis, which has been mentaoned
and 10 will no doubt delight local the
atre-qOers.

HE WAS RETRIEVED.
MIR. Harley Feels Very Grateful That
He Was Saved When on the Brink
of the Grave.

In France, a man sentenced to death
is not told in advance on what day he
is to die. The first information he gets
is from the officers who prepare him
for the guillotine. Between sentence and
execution the prisoners life is fulr of
terror's, for any football outside his cell
may herald the messenger of death
So free and honest men suffer agonies
of imagination when they learn that
live for years. They may die before an
other sunset. Kidney trouble is more
deadly than consumption If neglected or
improperly treated. 1t is great mercy
that one sure remedy exists.
Herbert Harley, dealer in shoes at
Twentieth and Pine streets, Philadel-
phia, says:
II suffered for years with chronic
kidney trouble and tried many remedies
and doctors. About a year ago / had
an extremely serious attack. / could
not attend to business and my FAMILY
was much alarmed. My back was so
lame 1 could not stand erect. had
high fever and night sweats. and the
pain in my back made it impossible to
secure a good nights rest.
1.-THE doctor said 1 had too much acid
in my blood, which caused neuralgia
conditions. 1t makes a man pretty blue
to be always ailing, and one who has
luxury.
zone day my daughter brought me
well-known remedy and urged me to
take it. A friend had recommended 1T
so highly she was sure it would do me
good. 1 didn't have much confidence
in it, for I had tried so many things
that I had little faith left in anything.
Its action, however, was a pleasant
surprise. 1t seemed to take right hold
and strengthen the bladder and kidneys,
and made me feel better before the end
of the week. 1t just braced me like
tonic, and I feel owe my life to War
ner's Safe Cure, which was the remedy
1 used
The doctor was right. Mr.. Harley's
blood was charged with uric acid, a
malignant poison. When the kidneys
are sound they draw it from the blood
When they are unsound the acid re-
mains, to shatter the nerves, to weaken
the heart and to dull the brain. 1t is
needless. and, to many readers, it would
be painful, to tell in detail the terrible
progress of kidney diseases.
Warmers Safe Cure. which drives
them out of the body, is within the
reach of all.

LATEST NEGRO SONGS.
Have Come Into Popularity on the
Strength of the Tunes Themselves.
New York Herald


Apart from the element of character,
however, the coon songs" have come
into popularity, no doubt, largely on the
strength of the tunes themselves, and
these, too, have a flavor of their own,
though it is totally unlike the charac-
teriStic flavor of the true negro melody.
Most of the songs have romping Choir
uses which are made attractive by rea-
son of their swing and rhythm. Prob
ably without stopping to consider the
means they used, the writers of the
tunes most popular today have reSorted
to an expert use of accent and rhythm.
One secret of the "cOon song" is that it
has caught the rhythm of the shutting,
Gathering, halting dance step which is
the especial property of the vaudeville
dancer. This is the reason also, for
time and all other ingenious rhythni-
cal contrivanceS of the vaudeville music
maker. To theorist in music, of course
this is chiefly a trick of syncopation. 1t
consists very largely in keeping in the
auditors mind the true rhythm of the
music, at the same time delaying or
advancing an accent so that it falls on
an "off beat This popularity, or else
the steady use of a strong accent, such
bined with swinging melody, have
given the "coon-song music much of
it's character as music.
Take a collection of such songs as
"Al looms Look Alike to Me,""A High
Born Lady, THE Wedding of the
Chinee and the Coon" "A Hot Time in
the Old Town Tonight" and" The
most cases. you will find that the swing
ing, romping rhythm and the smash
ing accents of the chorus are the things
which hold the average ear.

MUNICIPAL PAwNsHoPs.
[From the Chicago Record

IT IOHA lHe &HAcdSO fl0COTQI
Few persons realize how crushing are
the interest charges frequently imposed
by unregulated pawnshops upon the
poor of large cities who are driven by
necessity to borrow money on such per-
sonal property as they may be able to
offer for security. Instances of so high
an interest rate as 10 per cent a month
are frequently brought to light Indeed,
this is said to be the average pawn
brokers' rate in Chicago at the present
time. OF course such charges. are abso-
1utely ruinous and can only have the
effect of reducing the borrower to still
deeper extremitieS.
Citizens ofwealth and of philanthropic
instincts stand ready to establish in
Chicago pawnshops that will do BUSH
ness on a more humane basis, but at
incorporation OF societies for such pur-
