Pity
and
Beauty

The most beautiful thing in
the world is the baby, all
dimples and joy. The most
pitiful thing is that same baby,
thin and in pain. And the
mother does not know that a
little fat makes all the differ
ence.
Dimples and joy have gone,
and left hollows and fear; the
fat, that was comfort and
color and curve--all but pity
and love--is gone.
The little one gets no fat
from her food. There is some
thing wrong;itis either her food
or food-mill. She has had no
fat for weeks; is living on what
she had stored in that plump
little body of hers; and that is
gone. She is starving for fat;
it is death, be quick!
SCOTS Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil is the fat she can
take; it will save her.

One of the important matters to be
determined by congress at the coming
session is that Of congressional reap
portionment under the new census.
From the start, when there was one
representative to each 10000 inhabi-
tants, the ratio has been increased
every ten years, and since the census
Of 1890 has been one representative for
each l73,90l persons. The present
census shows an increase Of popula-
tion of more than 100000 and there
must, Of course, be proportionate in
crease in the ratio Of representatives
to population. How to provide for
that increase in an equitable manner
if no easy problem. The house, with
its 1856 mempers, is at times very un-
wieldy body, and yet II the new ratio
is to reduce the representation Of no
state there will have to be very large
increase in membership. The ratio
that seems the most favored, except
by those from the four states--Arkan-
sas, Kansas, Maine and Virginia
which would under it each have one
less representative than at present, is
that Of one representative to each
200, 900 persons. That would add lS
per cent to the present membership of
the house.

"King Rastus," Isham's new Mu-
steal Farce Comedy, which comes to
the Olympia Theater Wednesday, Jan.
I'd, is the wittiest and most laughable
portrayal of the ludicrous side of
Southern life ever staged. 1t is the
first and only consistent story OF the
witty mistakes and absurdities of the
Georgia colored man, in the form of a
play, ever put on the boards BY the
greatest company of selected colored
artists. 1t is music from beginning to
end, and the fun never stops an in
slant for the audience to get the
wrinkles out of its faces.
After Billy Kersands eats the song,
you've Got Yer E-String Tuned One
Note Too High" pepsin gum will be
on sale to revive those who have be-
come overcome by -vibrated dia-
phragms. The play is elegantly
mounted, and the costumes of the
thirty beautiful girls are astonishingly
royal. The scene in the Kings palace
is one of marvellous splendor, rivalling
the old palaces of the Moorish Kings.
Every song has been written specially
for the production and are gems that
will haunt your dreams.
With Billy Kersands quelling the
instruction that breaks out in Ec.
zema, and Smart & Williams running
the Kingdom of San Domingo on a
percentage, and the efforts OF Tom
Brown, 8. H. Dudley, Mallory Bros. &
Brooks and half hundred others,
liking Rastus" affords more fun and
real music than anything ever placed
on the boards this or any other season.

"What Did Tompkins Do?"

Among the notable announcements
for the near future is the appearance
here of Harry Corson Clarke, the YER
satile and popular comedian, and his
supporting company, in his new play
"What Did Tompkins Do"? Mr..
Clarke's high rank as an artist is too
well known to need comment, and he
is said to have surrounded himself
this season with competent and ex-
perienced Eastern people. The play,
which is described as comedy OF
character" by Randolph Hartley and
George Taggart-the former Califor-
MIA man now on the staff of the New
York Dramatic Mirror-was written
expressly for Mr.. Clarke and the role
OF Col. Tomkins, Il sporty old boy with
serious moments, is said to give the
clever young comedian ample oppor-
tunity for his inimitablo talents in
one of his best character portrayals-
which is no small praise. Wherever
it has been presented, SO far, this sea-
son the critics have been unanimous
in speaking of "What Did Tompkins
Do? in terms Of highest praise and
have pronounced the women OF the
company to be young, beautiful, tai
ented and richly gowned, the men MS
entirely capable for the roles they as
sumo, and the mountings and settings
as new and handsome. The play goes
on here, next Saturday, at Olympia
Theater. The company includes
Harriet Clavenger, Maude Truax
Anne Hathaway, Jessie Lansing, Jo-
seph Gailbraith, Max Steinle, Clement
St. Martin, Theodore Kehrwald, Van
Murrel, Arthur Miles, and Thayer

HORRIBLE CASUALTY.
THREE CHILDREN BURNED TO
A CRISP.

Ground and His Infant Children Consumed

Possessions of the Family We're Likewise De-
stroysd.
\ sad holiday season it is indeed for
Joshua Lavery and wife, who Wednes-
day morning, during temporary alb
seuce from their house, lost all they
held dear in life. Their home was
situated three miles north OF this city,
on the Eastside. About nine o'clock,
Mr.. Lavery left home 10 drive COW
to a neighbours pasture, and Icing Il
cripple his wife went with hun TO
help. Edward Nannah, their en-
ployed man, was engaged in some
duty short distance from the Inflated
house. His attention was directed to
the fire by an explosion, which was
afterwards ascertained TO have been
from several stacks of dynamite stored
in the upper part of the building.
He ran Immediately to the dwelling,
but so rapid mad been the progress of
the flames that the whole inside was
seething mass OF fire. He heard no
cries, and thinks the children must
have been suilocated by smoke.
The parents saw the flames from a
distance, but on their return nothing
was left but smouldering embers and
the charred bodies of their offspring.
Their grief may be imagined but not
described. They were with difficulty
persuaded to leave the scene of the
terrible disaster and find a temporary
refuge with kind hearted neighhors.
The exact origin of the fire will
probably never be known. 1t is
thought by the mother that very like.
ly one of the elder children had been
playing with paper near the fire that
was burning in the front room and
that it had become ignited and set fire
to the child's clothes. The building
contained enough infIammable mate
rial to make quick, speedy and COM
plete destruction possible, which was
just what happened.
Various methods for extending re-
lief to the destitute family are pro-
posed and several are under way, to
afford immediate aid.
