The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of n demon within a
man. Any one who has had an attack
of sciatic or infammatory rheumatism
will agree that the inhiction is demoniac
enough to warrant the belief 1t has
never been claimed that Chamberlain

it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds

MILLION DOLLAR MUSIC.
Grand oDcrn Costs the Management
n Good-siEed Fortune each
Week.

The expenses of an opera company
like Tint which Mr.. Grau manages av-
erage from $4,000 to S45,00o a week,
or about $1,000. 900 a season. How
greatly the principal singers figure
sia the expense list may be judged
from the statement that their guar
antees amount TO about one-half, or
s50o,00O. Quoting the exact figures
from last seasons balance sheet, it
is found that the prima donnas re-
ceived S21G,sO0 and the principal men
singers $4,000, total Of S532,s00.
is it policy to pay such salaries? The
question is answered by the state
ment made to me by Mr.. Grau that
the performances which cost him
most pay him best The public knows
when it is getting great cast, and is
willing to put out money to hear It.
IT NAV have cost over $4,000 to raise
the curtain on the "seyen-dollar" per
formance of lies Huguenots" with
Afeiba. Nordica, "Jean," "Edouard," ?"
Iasalle md Maurel. But the public
paid nearly $4,000 to hear it. The
record performance of last season was
the closing one, at which the boxes
were not controlled by the stockhold-
ers. There was s1s,5oo in the house.
Speaking Of the boxes, it is an IN
teresting fact that the ownership OF
a box at the Metropolitan opera house
has proved itself a profitable invest
ment. The parterre boxes which are
held by the stockholders represent
ss5 600 in stock. One of the boxes be-
longing to an estate could recently
have been sold for $4,000, but the
estate preferred to keep it. The
value of parterre box is 500 night
and the stockholders pay half this
amount to the Maurice Grau Opera
company. There have been two in
stances this season Of the letting OF
stockholder boxes for $4,000 for the
season. This is certainly paying high
for the privilege of sitting within the
charmed circle Of the "glittering
horseshoe. ."-Ainslee's Magazine.

ARDMORE AND MUSK0GEE
They Are to Adopt Metro pol
tan Airs.

Ardmore is numbering her
houses with hope Of securing
free delivery service in the near
future. The naming of streets
and numbering Of houses are some
of the requirements necessary to
attain this end. Armore is not
waiting for the townsite board to
make the town, but is going ahead
in spite of the government. Mus
kogee in the course of one or two
years, at the rate of increase Of
the past year, will haye reached
the stipulated requirement for the
free delivery of mail. The gross
receipts necessary to procure free
delivery is $4,000, or town of
10000 inhabitants is entitled to
the service. The receipts Of the
Muskogee post Office for the year
ending March 31st was something
over $4,000, whicn will elevate
the office to one of the second
class, from July 1st, 1900, which
carries with it many benefits,
among which are increase OF sal
ary, additional clerk hire, enlarged
allowances and facilities. The
town should not lose sight OF the
fact that this city is on the in
crease and making a town as we
go will be much easier and much
cheaper than waiting till the town
is big enough for free delivery
than have to do these things nec-
essary to fill the requirements all
at once. What we do, let us do
right. Name the streets and
mum Der the houses according TO
the plat furnished by the townsite
board which will no doubt be ap-
proved By the government, and in
one prosperous year Muskogee
will be in condition for the letter
carriers. Muskogee Times.
