pm Girl From Paris"

Late corners at the Park yesterday and
last night found the standing room only"
sign staring them in the face, for The
Girl from Paris" seen here last year al
the Grand. was the attraction. This musical
comedy. that pleased so well last year, is
being given at the Park practically un-
changed. except as TO cast, and is just as
amusing throughout as ever. II is a strong
card for the Park and promises to attract
many who are not in the habit of looking
to the popular-priced theater for their
these present last night. THE Girl from
Paris" must be seen to be thoroughly ap-
preciated. Probably the greatest comic hit
is made by Olive Wallace with the Sister
Mary James Top Note song. Her encores
fairly wore her out. Harry Hermsen is now
playing regularly the funny German hotel
keeper and seems as good as any one could
be in the part. Marion Daniels possesses
the requisite beauty and chic French ways
for the title role of the Parisienne. and
Alexander Clark was a hit as Ebenezer
HoneycOmb. whose unfortunate escapade.
with its disastrous consequences. furnishes
a large share OF the fun of the piece. A
pleasing feature of the performance is the
number of good-looking women in the cast.
The play is well staged, the same scenery
and properties being used that were en-
ployed in the New York production. The
Girl from Paris will continue the remain
der of the week. Monday Under the
Dome" always a favorite in Indianapolis,
will come for three days at the Park.

AUTHOR OF DIXIE"


GAMBLER, o., March 2-Daniel E. En-
NETT, composer of the famous song.
Dixie" sung for forty years in every State
of the Union, told last night the story of
his life to the cadets of Kenyon Military
Academy and detailed all the circumstances
under which he wrote the song. OF South
ern parentage. he was born in Mount Yer
non, Oct. %. 1915. and was the first white
boy born there. Being adverse to the trade
of his father. who was a blacksmith, he
sought. at eighteen years of age. the pursuit
of a musician with travelling shows, which
life he led for twenty-five years. In 1S43 he
founded the Virginia Minstrels. which met
with immense success in New York and
Boston and throughout Great Britain. In
1859 he was engaged by Bryant's Minstrels,
No. 472 Broadway. New York. to write
comic songs. negro songs, and walk-arounds
and act as a musician when required.
Dixie" was written in the early spring of
1859 and was sung from that time 10 July 4,
1865. by Mr.. Emmett at every performance
given at Bryant's. His story was received
with great applause, and at it's close he
sans Dixie" with the support of a chorus
improvised from the school during the day.

The Doctor COnfesses.

An honest physician realizes that
no one man knows it all-that il is
by combined effort of ages which
produces the highest perfection in
any field of research--and he will
let no old fashioned scruples of pro-
fessional etiquette nor prejudice of
opinion stand in the way of his Civ
ing to his patients the very best
service and advice which lies within
his power. When such a physician
finds that his own remedies and
methods of treatment are faulty he
does not hesitate to confess his
error and to adopt the better rene.
dies and better methods of those
whose success has been fullyproven.
1t thus happens that hundreds of
physicians throughout the country
are to-day advising patients to use
DR.. Miles Nervine for the cure of
La Grippe and its terrible after eff
fects, such as nervous prostration,
dyspepsia, dizziness, weakness,
heart trouble and all forms of ex-
hausted vitality. An instance is
recorded in the following letter
from Mrs. S. Morehouse. Phoenix,
y. Y, who writes: 1.-The fever left
my stomach very weak, and / could
scarcely eat the lightest kind of
food. | had a dreadful burning
sensation at the base of the brain,
but my greatest trouble was sleep
lessness. My doctor said it was
nervous prostration. and when he
saw that the medicine he gave me
had no effect whatever, he advised
me to try a bottle of DIR. Miles
Nervine, as he knew it was a good
remedy for V troubles. 1
followed this advice, and in a short
time l was restored to perfect
health"
A trial package of DIR. Miles
favorite treatment for the grip,
consisting of DR.. Miles Nervine.
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills and DR..
Miles Nerve and Liver Pills, will
be sent absolutely free of cost to
any person sending name and adj
dress on a postal card, requesting
the samples, and mentioning the
name of this paper. Address DIR.

Another case Of smallpox was discovered
yesterday. william Dickerson. colored.

Bakers house was quarantined. DR.. Wag-
ner said, last night, he did not look for 9TH
er cases To develop from this one.

houses. The whole expense of the fight
against smallpox will not amount TO more
than s.. 800. Some of the Franklin House in

PRICES AND WAGES UP
QUOTATIONS ADVANCED BY SEVERAL
STEEL MANUFACTURERS.
Thousands of Workingmea Permitted
to share i'm the Prosperity Enjoyed
by % Great Industry.

PITTSBURG, March 2-The advance in
iron and steel during the past few days has
caused nail manufacturers to advance their
prices, and wire, steel and wrought nails
have been increased 10 per cent. The bas-
ing rate remains the same. but the discount
has been taken of. Manufacturers say the
demand for their product has greatly in
creased during the past few weeks and that
prices would not have been changed had
not the price on raw material advanced.
All the mills are running full time and up
to their full capacities. All the rod mills
in the city are working overtime in order TO
fill orders, and the workmen are now be-
ginning to hope that the increase in the
price of iron and steel will mean a general
advance in wages. The shortage in steel
is already being felt by some Of the smaller
plants and producers of billets, with finish
ing mills of their own, are reaplng a
harvest. Structural mills AVE advanced all
shapes 81 "a ton, and sheets have been adj
vanced the same figure.
