A startling incident of which Mr..
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
Il was in most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes
sunken, tongue coated, pain contin-
ually in back and sides, no appetite
gradually growing weaker day by day.
Three physicians had given me up.
Fortunately, friend advised trying

and surprise, the first bottle made a
decided improvement. 1 continued
their use for three weeks, and am now

Amusing Occurrence In OGlcc
Building Elevator In Chicago.
People who ride in lifts in this
city acquire some queer experiences at
times. The calling of the floors where
passengers desire to debark or embark
not infrequently produces some anus
ing situations. 1t all depends upon the
style of the person making the an
nouncement. OF course conductors
are mute participants in the game
Here is one happening of yesterday
which is certainly out of the usual run
Half dozen passengers entered an
elevator in a big down town Office build
ing. Doctors Office there almost to the
exclusion of other professions. One boy
with package asked to be deposited
at the second floor. A woman stood
mute while medical man thought he
would leave at the fifth The conductor
turned an inquiring head and the re-
manning passengers with one voice
Ginning in full chorus shouted:
Tenth. I"
''Seven up" murmured gentle
voice as the car reached the indicated
floor.
Two men seeking the tenth floor
glanced at each other with grins of ap-
probation as stenographer. and
pretty one, by the way, entered the car.
She seemed unconscious of having Gre
ated more than passing interest, but
the conductor was alive to the situation.

himself as he gave the lever yank and
the car shot upward again. Chicago

ADJUSTMENTS.

A delightful entertainment by the
Catharine Ridgeway Concert company
was enjoyed by an audience that filled
Harper's theatre Saturday night. The
engagem, mt was under the auspices
of the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, which has given such an ad mir
able course of entertainments during
the winter. The final number in the
series will be given by George Ken
nan, the Siberian traveller, April 81.
The Chase-Lister company opened.
weeks engagement at Harper's
theatre las night to an audience of
immense proportions. An historical
drama, Texas, or the Siege of the
Alamo" was presented, the company
being unable to play The Harvest
Moon" as it was advertised, owing
to the illness of the leading lady, Miss
Gertie Ewing. The company plays
for 10 cents to all over the house ex-
cept the Parquet circle. 1t will
doubtless have a successful engage
ment. The company has several
clever speciality people.
Roland Reed, as has been his Gus
tom for number of years, will pre-
sent new play on his appc arance
this evening at the Burtis. This
season the piece selected is a farcical
play from the pen of that clever writ
er, Sydney Roseniield, who has al
ready been highly successful in his
efforts for Mr.. Reed. His Lend Me
Your Wife, The Club Friend, " and
The Politician" will be pleasantly
remem bered as being highly success
full plays in Mr.. Reeds repertoire.
The new comedy is called His Fathers
Boy" and has some of the widest COM
plications ever laughed at. MIR.
Reed is seen in character that is par
ticularly well adapted to him, and he
thinks it is one of the best roles he
has had for years The story of the
play is most interesting, and is sure
to entertain Mr.. Reed many admir-
ers. The play will be produced in
Mr.. Reeds usual careful manner. as
he has associated with him this sea-
son, perhaps, the strongest company
that has ever accompanied him on
any of his tours. Miss Isadore Rush,
who has become great favOrite
throughout the country, has happy
role, and one in which she is enabled
to keep up her reputation as being the
best dres woman upon the stage.
Mr.. Reeds engagement will I'M
doubleday be one of the most import
ant comedy events of the season.

WITH A PAIR OF scissors.
The Wonderful Artistic Fents Per-
formed by Jonnne Koetren.

The Wonderful Artistic Feats Per-
formed by Joanne Koetren.
More than 200 years ago little girl
was born at Amsterdam, Holland.
whose name was jeanne Koetren. She
was a peculiar child in that she cared
nothing whatever for play and sport.
but found her greatest delight in max
ing copies of things about her, imitat-
ing in wax every kind of fruit and
making on silk, with colored floss, ex-
act copies of paintings. which were
thought wonderful
But after she had become very ac-
complished in music, spinning and en-
broidery, she abandoned all these for a
still more extraordinary art-that of
cutting She executed landscapes, ma
rine views, flowers, animals and por-
traits of people of such striking resem-
blance that she was for time quite the
wonder of Europe. She used white pa
pers for her cuttings. placing them over
black surface, so that the minute
openings made by her scissors formed
the Light and shade. -
The car, Peter the Great, and others
of high rank paid her honor. One man
high in office vainly offered her 200
forms for three small cuttings. The
empress of Germany paid her 1000
forms for 4 trophy she had cut, bearing
the arms Of Emperor Leopold, crowned
with eagles and surrounded by gar
land of flowers. She also cut the en-
peror's portrait, which can now be seen
in the Royal Art gallery in Vienna. A
great many people went to see her. and
she kept a book in which princes and
princesses wrote their names.
After she died, which was when she
had lived 90 years. her husband, Adrian
Block, erected a monument to her
memory and had designed upon it the
portraits of these titled visitors. Her
cuttings were so correct in effect and so
