The Great Western Chautauqua Mt
Boulder is one of the most attractive
summer resorts in existence for per-
sons who desire to secure rest and rec
reation, acquire health. and at the
same time enjoy the advantages of a
seasons program scarcely equaled for
variety and merit. The program not
only includes all the school courses es-
sential to teachers. but it embraces
special branches and departments,
clubs, councils, exquisite music, art,
uuultSSts. oul-uDoI
mountain excursions, and popular en-
tertainments in the great auditorium,
which are eXcelled in interest nowhere
in the world.
Good music. magnificent lectures, de
lightful entertainments, coupled with
plenty of well-cooked food comfort
able accommodations and pure noun

any ordinary mortal. All these things,
and more, are promised at the Chau-

w. L. Douglas is going to increase
the capacity Of his factory to 5000

will add 10000 square feet of space for
manufacturing purposes. At the same

tensive advertising. The advertising
expenditure of Mr.. Douglas is now
larger than at any period of his busi-

CHASED THE SUPER.
TIE Exciting Race Between Kean and
tho Stage Hand.


Some strange tales have been told ty
old-timers in the stage business about
the Keans, both the elder and the last
to be seen on the American stage.
Some have said that hard study made
them a little wrong at times, and some
of the things they did certainly looked
queer. 1t is told by an old New Or
leans horseman. who is here from the
Crescent City, that when Kean, the
younger, was playing there, he nearly
scared super to death and came near
'pinking" him. 1t was in Richard
ILL.," in the scene where ne sees the
ghosts. The stage manager was a lit
tie bit the worse for drink and deter
mined to have some fun. He did not
like Kean, as he was a hard man he
hind the scenes. Among the supers
was a raw Irish lad who had never
seen a stage before The manager told
this fellow that If he would run across
the stage when he gave him the tip
he would stand to earn 81. The poor
fellow was broke, and a two-spot
looked to him like a national bank.
He agreed and the stage manager gave
him a gaudy oilcloth banner bearing
these words: Smoke General Jackson
Cigars" 1t was nearly panic that
this Irish lad started. He ran across
the stage, and when Kean saw him he
was furious. He made lunge at the
unfortunate super with his sword, and
as the rag" came whizzing down to q
hurry call he chased the poor standard
bearer off the stage, down the passage
and to the street. For two blocks he
followed him in his Richard costume,
and finally the super escaped down a
dark alley. What effect it had upon
the show the turfman does not say, but
certainly it was only the super's agil-
ity of foot that saved him.-Cincinnati

Solid Air,

Professor A. l.. Metz, of Tulane Uni
versity, has made solid air. This, it
is believed, will be generally conceded
to be the first remarkable scientific
achievement of the twentieth century.
Five years ago we could only conceive
of air as a gas. Then came liquid air.
Now comes solid. Liquid air is so
cold that it boils on coming in contact
with ice. Solid air is infinitely colder.
1t is as yet impossible to calculate its
temperature accurately.

then is the tendency and object of labor
reform. 1t is an equalizing process. The
worker who is by birthright the political
equal of the employer, who by right of
character becomes the social equal of the
employer must become his equal in all
other relations in which their interests
coincide.

doing of n full days work. the day should
be reduced to that standard and should
be repaid by a full days wages. Capital
says that while it does not deny the gen

what labor demands. The question
comes then. il that be true. to be this:

and an English mission. The banks
of the Stanley pool are low at this
point and several huge baobabs grow
on them. The natives call these mon

their scientific name is "Adansonia
