AT first IL was the custom OF the church
to celebrate this event once in each hun

time 10 fifty years. and proclaimed the
second jubilee in the year 1850 This one
was also the occasion of extraordinary
assemblages and on Easter of that year
there were no less than 100000 pilgrims
in Rome.
The interval between jubilees was again
curtaiied by Urban VI, and in liio Paul
III. ordered that IA the future there should
be an observance OF each twenty-hfth
year Since that time this has been the
recognized period. but during the past 100
years there has been but one celebration
OF the event owing 10 political comph
cations ana other circumstances. 1t had
been the intention OF Pope Pius VI 10
proclaim jubilee for the year 1900, but in
February, 1893, he was taken prisoner by
the French army and six months later

Years ago 1t was announced that the

the Jubilee did not depend upon per-

all indulgences might be obtained by those

10 promuleate another Holy Year.
The institution of the Holy Year was
inaugurated by Pope Boniface VIII, on
February p. 1900, and was suggested by
an old Jewish festival In Olden times
the Hebrews solemnly celebrated every
fftieth year by forbdding the earth TO
be worked, by gathering IFS products with
appropriate religious ceremonies and by
the freeing OF slaves This festival was
called "Jobal" which means remission,
and IL was from this ancient custom that
this great religious anniversary Of the
church was derived.
History relates that the first Holy
Year was most important one The

pilgrims brought no less than 100000 visi-

cause people mistook effects for diseas-
es, and attacked a pain where they
found it. Temporary relief convinced
them they were right, and so they laid
a return of the pain to q return of the
complaint, when in fact the disease was
there all the time. Backache is not an
aching of the back, but an aching of
the kidneys, and remedies must reach
the kidneys and be perfect in their
work at that before permanent relief
is secured. Doan's Kidney Pills are
perfect in their work and permanent in
their cure. A baekache gives way at
once because the Kidneys resume their
normal functions and there is nothing
to ache. There is nothing SO hard TO
bat as the evidence of our senses,
and yet all who believe us on the sub
ject OF backache are glad they did be-

"Uncle T'om" at the Aud
itoriurn.

This famous play, which dates back
so far that some people have a vague
idea that it caused the war of the re-
belllon, has been presented with re-
llglous regularity each dramatic sea-
son, sometimes with double little Evas
and double Uncle Toms, but never has
it been given with such an elaborate
Stage dressing and realistic effect as
this. In fact, several of the features
are in themselves sufficiently novel to
make it worth while going to see "Un-
Gle Toms Cabin" for the rorty-seventh
time. The company is strong. Miss
Cooks Topsy is a fine piece CT char
acter and dialect acting with the ad-
ditional virtue that it is really funny.
1t is doubtful if the part was ever
given better or even as well played by
anybody else. But the leading feature
of the production Is the gorgeous
transformation scene painted by Sos
man & Lands, which represents "lit-
tie Eva in the golden realms" The
tableau is a beautiful and striking
one, representing the flight of the an
gels of death and the opening OF the
golden gales, There are also several
other noteworthy stage settings, rep
resendng a contemplating scene, Eliza
crossing the ice, etc, Some very
pleasing singing of plantation melo-
dies is given by colored quartet, and
there is some wing dancing that is a
great novelty. Ed r. Davis Uncle
Toms Cabin will appear at the Audi
torlum Tuesday, Dec. -.

Tonight our amusement lovers will
have an opportunity of witnessing a
farcial play as is one-Mr, Felix Riser
will present at the Auditorium the
very latest laughing success, Don't

plot-(sounds strange doesn't it)
built on on new original lines; no old
worn out theme. 1t handles subject
entirely new to the stage with deli
cacy and refinement that is simply
marvellous and yet not gesture made
nor line spoken that could offend the
most exacting.
Don't Tell My Wife is the end of

and if you art fond of clever comedy
cleverly acted, you canot afford to pass
this, the one bright particular star in
the farce comedy horizon.

voked such storm of discussion as this
