the large demand for seats at the box

almost direct from the Garden Theatre.

most massive and magnificent stage pre-
sensations the metropolis has had in some
time. The verdict of New York and Bos-
ton is "a great triumph for Mr.. sothern."
1t has stamped him as one of the foremost
actors Of the day.
Save for the fact that the production
was booked here early last spring, the
run In New York could have been pro-
longed. Mr.. Sothern returns there with
Hamlet" in two weeks. The advent of
Miss Harmed as Ophelia will also be
matter Of considerable interest to Wash

The impracticability of solemnizing two
marriages in the same church on the same
evening was evidenced SO forcibly last
night as to almost mar the beauty of the
Mangum Payne wedding, which, otherwise,
was one of the most brilliant events OF the
year.
After the marriage of Mr. Thorn and
Miss King at st. Andrews Church at 73O
o'clock, the guests followed the bridal par
ty from the church, while the women. old
and young. who consider it their priyil-
eye to attend every church wedding that
occurs. without waiting to be invited
crowded into the vacated seats and coolly
waited for the wedding which was 10 take
place an hour later. Others. like them,
swarmed in until by the time the ushers
arrived a number of guests were standing
in the aisle or lobby. because there was
no room for them TO be seated. Dr. Perry.
the rector, entered the church and request
cd that those not invited to the wedding
would kindly give place to the guests. but
his appeal seemed quite in vain. Several
policemen appeared in the lobby. but the
guests and bridal party graciously decided
to make the best of the matter and the
situation was saved.

man: DR.. William X. Poole. Dr. George II

Frank Wrenn; they were followed by Miss
Bertha S. Davis, the brides sister as
maid of honor. who wore pink organdie
over pink taffeta, and carried large bou-
quet of pink roses, to which was attached
in place of the conventional ribbons large
candle over white taffeta, trimmed with
duchesse lace, wore a long tulle veil fast
ened with bow of ribbon. She carried a
shower bouquet of bride roses festooned
with smilax. She was escorted by the
groom to the chancel, where Rev Edwin

formed the ceremony, assisted by Rev. j.
b. Clayton. The organist. Prof George
Watts, played softly throughout the cere-
mony. The bride and ride room were ac-
companicd TO the home of the brides par

out-of-town relatives and friends. They
left later in the evening for an extensive
honeymoon trip, which will include New

cry, underpaid, half starved, Ill treated
and worked to death, says William
Thorp, writing from Kingston to the
Chicago Record. In the southern towns
of Cuba they have an equally bad time
of it. Several Jamaicans have been
murdered there lately, and their MUIR
derers have never been brought to JUS
tice. American residents regard them
with feelings of bitter color prejudice,
and frequent quarrels result. This
racial antipathy has been brought to a
head by the murder of Jamaican
named Constantine by an American
named Brice. In public restaurant
the latter tainted the Jamaican with
Great Britain's failure to settle the
South African war. Constantine gave
the "tu quoque" by reference to the
Philippines and Gen. Otis. Brice drew
a revolver. Constantine knocked him
down and took it away. Foolishly the
weapon was given back, and Brice i'm
mediately shot his adversary dead. He
has been arrested and is now held for
trial The feeling in Jamaica is very
strong, and unless he is punished with
the utmost rigor Of the law American
interests here are likely to suffer.

population is included in a radius

O-I-C

When a preparation has an adver-
tised reputation that is worldwide, 1t
means that preparation is meritorious.
If you go into a store to buy an article
that has achieved universal popularity
like Cascarets Candy Cathartic for ex-
ample, you feel it has the endorsement
of the world. The judgment OF the
people is infallible because 1t is i'm
personal. The retailer who wants to
sell you something else" in place Of
the article you ask for, has an ak to
grind. Don't 1t stand to reason? He's
trying to sell something that Is not
what he represents it to be. Why?
Because he expects to derive an ex-
ira profit out Of your credulity. Are
you easy? Don't you see through his
little game? The man who will try
and sell you a substitute for CASCAR-
ETS is a fraud. Beware of him! He
is trying to steal the honestly earned
benefits OF a reputation which another
business man has paid for. and II his
conscience will allow him to go so far,
he will go farther. If he cheats his GUS
toner in one way, he will in another
and 1t Is not safe to do business with
him. Beware of the CASCARET sub

The Two Lessons.

The Two Lessons.
Learn, boy, from me what dwells in
man alone,
Courage, immortal, and the steadfast
sway
OF patient toll that glorifies the day,
What most ennobles life is all our
Yet not the whole Of life; the fates
atone
For what they give by what they
keep away.
Learn thou from others all the tri-
umphs gay
That dwell in SUMMER realms, to me
unknown.
Each soul imparts one lesson; each
supplies
One priceless secret that it holds
within.
In your own heart-there only-stands
the prize,
Fooled of all else, your own career
you win.
We half command our fates; the rest
but lies
In that last drop which unknown
powers fling in.
