WHAT is A THEATER TICKET ?
A Que stion that a Washington Court
Has Passe Upon.

A Que stion that a Washington Court
Has PASSED. Upon.
Little attention has been paid to a
case recently decided at Washington
that involved the rights of theater man
ager and patron. A negro bought
seat on the lower floor of a Washington
theater and attended a performance.
During the evening the manager re-
Quested the negro to relinquish his
place and leave the theater, Offering
him the money that had been paid for
the ticket This was refused and the
negro was elected. A suit for dam
ages resulted. The plaintiff in this case
did not take action under the civil
rights law, and only set forth his al
legged rights as a citizen to occupy a
place in a theater upon payment of the
usual fee. The defense took the ground
that a ticket for a reserved seat is mere
ly a license revokable at the will of the
manager in whose theater it is sold
upon a return of its price.
This contention, which is generally
held by managers and in many cases
put into words on the tickets sold, did
not stand in court. where it was de-
clared that a ticket-holder of a reserved
seat in a theater has rights similar to
those of a lessee for specified term,
subject only TO the managers police
power to enforce order and maintain
decency on his premises. Going fur
Their than this. the trial court cited an
opinion that prevails in the United

Himself.

Perhaps in no case where stomach
trouble was the ailment has the eff
cheney OF popular remedy been SO
thoroughly demonstrated as IN the case
of W. E. Mathis, a prominent druggist
OF Eldorado, Ill. The story rs told by
Mr.. Mathis is as follows:
'1n the spring of 1894 ! had a very
serious case OF indigestion. My stom-
ach commenced to give me great trouble,
and, while / knew the nature Of the
pain, / did not at first use the proper
pTecaution. For some time | did not
pay any attention, but it gradually
grew worse, when l consulted q ply

his medicine according to instructions.

became subject to congestion of the
stomach, and considered myself IN a
precarious condition. The physicians

failed to benefit me.

ment, but as had tried everything
else, / agreed to take them. That was
three and half years ago. When 1

plainly the change for the better.

''The pills have not only cured the
indigestion, but they have also cured
my nervousness, my blood is in perfect
condition, and they have brought my
weight from lao pounds at the COM
mencement of the stomach trouble to
$50 at present.

corked and never open it in a room
where there is a light or the smallest
spark of fire, as it is very infammable.
The alcohol also should be handled
with care. To do variety of poker
work an outfit of several points is
necessary, but it is well for the begin
ner to have at least two as illustrated
in Figs. and d. The first of these, c,
is the more important as with it both
outlining and shading can be done,
but the second is better for back
grounds.
Before attempting a design the be-
ginner should practice on a smooth
pine board or a piece of whitewood,
whichis better, as the finer grain makes
practice easier. To light the point put
some cotton wool in the naphtha bottle
and fill the bottle about one-third full
of naphtha Connect the bottle with
the cork handle and with the bulb by
the rubber tubing hold the point in
the fame of the spirit lamp until it is
thoroughly heated and blow gently by
pressing the bulb until the point be-
comes redhot. The point may now be
withdrawn from the flame, and its
heat can be kept up and regulated by
the pressure on the bulb, which forces
the vapor of the naphtha through the
tubing into the point, where it burns.
The lamp may now be extinguished.
/ The object of the cotton wool in the
bottle is to give more evaporating sur
face. Fig. a shows the apparatus.
Sometimes a foot bellows Gig. b. is
used instead of the hand bellows. This
is less tiresome and gives the Oper-
ator both hands for work.
Now grasp the cork handle, not toe
near the hot point, and try to make
true, even lines on the pine board
This at first is very difficult, for an in
stant's delay in the touch of the point
will make a hole or deep dot in the
wood, and the line will resemble g
smudge. To overcome this first trou

Areurism of the Aorta Is the Penalty
of Speculation.
The same disease that carried off
Philip d. Armour before his time
threatens those who go down into the
trading pits and stock marts to buy
and sell where the changes of a few
points in the quotations may mean
poverty or millions, says the Chicago
Chronicle. Aneurism of the heart
more accurately aneurism of the aor-
tas of the hearts, the disease that
killed the wealthy packer. 1t is caus-
ed largely by undue excitement, such
as is brought on by the scenes of the
Board of Trade. For brief periods ex-
traordinary demands are made on the
organ that propels blood through the
body.
This was the gist of a statement
made by a renowned Chicago physi-
clan. He discussed the prevalence,

ton often enormously classed as

he said, but the aortas through which
the blood is drawn or expelled display
the real weakness.
Aneurism of the heart is the abnor-
NAL swelling Of the aortas resulting
from the great demands suddenly made
upon them during moments of excite
ment. The tissues are unable to with
stand the pressure of the blood press
ing. Perhaps there is also a little nat
ural weakness. The tissues yield and
when the next demand is made upon
them they are still weaker. The en-
largement of the blood vessels contin-
ues day by day until at last the strain
becomes too great and they give way.
EVERY man whose business or pro
fession forces upon him moments Of
great excitement" said the doctor, 'is
a likely candidate for this disease. One
who has merely watched the opera
lions in the wheat pit or has spent an
hour in the gallery of the New York
Stock Exchange must have felt his
own blood flow quicker. How much
fiercer, then, must have been the throb-
bings of the hearts of those partici-
pating in the battles to save or dou-
