Oliver Scott's Big Minstrel car
nival will be the attraction at the
New Theatre, Saturday night,
Oct. IA.
There is nothing that catches
the public as .sdoes first-class
good minstrel SHOW. There is no
band of musicians chat can play
the popular airs Of the day as can
a minstrel band. There is snap
py, catchy movement to the mu-
sic produced by a minstrel band
that distinguishes 1t from all
others. Then there is the parade.
Who is it that does not like to
see the minstrel go by? The min
strel show at night has charm
for many that no other entertain
ment possesses. There is the first
part with it's rows of marionette
figures, seated one above another,
the bass drum and bass fiddle cap
ping the pyramid. Then the deep
voiced interlocutor says "Over-
ture, gentlemen" and they are
off. The rattling of the bones,
the sounding of the tambourine,
the blending of the voices har-
moniously in the opening chorus,
here and there few catchy bars
from some opera, then a lively
negro air, the dancing and pranc-
ing of the end men, and the end
of the overture, the funny jokes,
the pathetic ballad, the quartette,
then the olio, then the sensational
specialties, and it's all over. Who
don't enjoy the minstrels9 A real
good minstrel show is as vivify-
ing and refreshing as a shower
during q drought. Oliver Scott's
Big Minstrel carnival will surely
reap a harvest when they appear
in this city. The success of this
company for the past two years,
has been something phenomenal.
The company is large one, COM
o sed of more than forty people,
and travel on their own train OF
palace cars.

the vetran comedian was school
friend and boyish playmate of
Edwin Booth. The lads had a
miniature theater together in Bal
timore. Clark's forte ss he sup
posed was tragedy, and he used to
relate with gusto how the elder
Booth dropped in on the boys un-
expectedly and heard him as Bru-
tus reproaching Oassius.

hot WATER HEATING.
Mr.. Perry Explains Reason
of Present Satisfaction.
Bursts Are Not Now Expected.
Expansion Joints Larger then
in 189s-Public Pleased.

.>90AA0AOA VS4Aeo 411A 60x G110U
in 1806-Public Pleased.
The Hot Water heating system
owned by Edgecomb & Deur, and
first tested by them about two
years ago, is exciting interest and
otherwise curiosity in many parts
of the country, and particularly
nearby or adjacent towns.
This is the second city in the
United States that has the benefit
OF hot water heating, and Mr..
Perry, the genial manager of the
plant, today explained the i'm
proyements the company have
made during the past summer
season.
In 1898, the company had laid
on Erie street, 2, 4-lnch pipe; 2,
6-inch pipe, aud 2, 3-inch, maxi
ing at that time six sections in all.
During the summer just passed
they have increased the number
pipes laid down, aud now have
eight blocks of 3-inch pipe on
Erie and Second streets.
They have also made improve.
ment in the joints, removing the
old ones, and putting in balled
joints, placed anchor on either
eide at each joint of pipe. to pre-
vent the unnecessary expansion
during the changes from cold to
warm, and yet allowes more ex-
pansion than heretofore.
The public is highly pleased
with this class of heat. The
dsmpness and irregularity in
temperature is avoided, and too
the heat is always the oppopite
temperature as on the outside.
For instance, it the temperature
registers 35 degrees outside the
opposite is recorded on the inside,
thus assuring steady easy tenn
perature of heat, void of all the
unbearable influences of steam or
stove, heater or range heat, se-
cured by the uae of the latter.
Then not alone do these accom-
paniments comprise all the in
convenience. During the use Of
steam heat, fine dust is easy
visible that catches on everything
and one is compelled to breathe
in the nostrils the sticky, and un-
comfortable accumulation of a re-
pulsive air, always existing, while
this heat is in use. Then by the use
of coal. with heater or stove, the
troublesome care of keeping them
regular, the dust, the care of
keeping them polished, etc.
By the use of Hot water heat
these inconveniences are for most
part, if not entirely avoided. You
have steady, reliable heat, moro
adopted to the requirements of
human nature, as the oxygen is
not all consumed. Since the regu-
lar temperature is dry, and free
from dampness, SO conducive to
discomfort of the public.

FLANNEL LORE.
Are But Very Little Ac-
Quninted with.

The ignorance of women concerning
things which they have been using all
their lives is strange, and almost seems
to reflect upon their general inteTli.
gence.. There was n woman at the WOOL
en- Underwear counter in one of the best
shops of the city the other day buying
underwear for children. She was ap-
parently n woman of the class one
would expect to see as q regular Gus
toner in such shop.
She must have been 40 or moro, was
well dressed, cultivated woman, ap.
parently, intelligent If not intellectual,
but she was aslang the clerk questions
which seemed strangely out Of place
coming from q woman with family.
, She inquired carefully concerning the
quality Of cotton garments, wool gar
ments, and cotton and wool combined.
; which would and which would not
shrink. and what the clerk was selling
for winter wear.
~ am selling these garments" he
said. referring to some at which she had
DcCH loOhllS, ioI DtbNccu ncusou
wear" She gagged her purchases by
his answer.
There was woman who, at the low.
est estimate, had been buying under
wear for 20 years, and she did not know
what would and would not shrink, and
she did not know what weight gar
ments to buy for the children until the
clerk told her what he was selling. 1t
might be possible in this case that this
individual woman was buying for chill
dren not her own, and other excuses
might bo given. but hers is not IN un-
usual case. She repeated the questions
of probably three-quarters OF the wom-
en- who bought goods of that clerk. 1t
might be well for women to devote a
little time TO experiment with fannels,
and In month they would learn some
valuable lessons which they would not
forget. There is woman up town who
has Il special flannel washing day, and
has all the woolen ilannels that all the
members OF the family wear washed In
warm soapsuds, rlnsed thoroughly,
dried quickly in the house, and, when
nearly dry, the process completed with
not too hot irons. Those flsnuels never

STORING ICE OUTDOORS.
ptOyed for Several Years by
an Eastern Farmer.

Some years ago 1t occurred to me to
stack little ice outdoors to save the
trouble Of taking 1t from the icehouse,

the north side of building. In the ex.
pectation that warm weather would

large quantities were stacked yearly,

this year, had to use an inferior quail
ty, four or five inches thick. The stack
was about thirty feet square and four
feet high. II has furnished ice to cool
about 300 quarts of milk per day in
creamery, besides refrigerator In
house. My method Is to spread few
inches of shavings on the ground for
the ice TO rest on, stack the ice and

important to have the stack In the

from rain and from the Ice, evaporation
keeps down the temperature.
