they were willing to pay more for their

There was a good attraction here this
week in Lovers Lane, and it was do
ing pretty well to give it to Topeka
second year of its existence. 1t is pretty
safe to count on a Clyde Fitch play
every time There are no more versa
tile writers than Mr.. Fitch, and his
plays are always interesting and orig
inal. The best test of Lovers Lane"
was made in New York, when Alan
Dale, the cynical dramatic writer of the
New York Journal, put his o. K. upon
it. When he says a thing is all right it
must certainly be very good.
A place like Topeka must put up with
a lot of trash, but of course people do
not need to go unless they care to.
When they see an announcement with
the seductive title Midnight in China

know by experience that it is a good
plan to stay at home and read THE

1t is to be regretted that the Grand

is really an excellent house, but has
been allowed to go to ruin from neglect
and because it was not a paying Ven
ture. One good house in Topeka would
do well, but two is one too many. There
is no prospect of the Grand being made
the house, and it may eventually be
turned into a boarding house, or some
thing of the kind.

of Dutch diStinctivenesS-on the north

hero of the league has worn in stirring
and bloody times. Nearby are ecclesi-
astical shoes, gold embroidered, velvet

more and more generally as a family
remedy.
One of the physicians, member then
and now of the royal staff, in forward
ing a copy of the article to the pro-
prfetOrs of Paine'S celery compound, en-
closed a long and somewhat technical
letter, in which he said:
I'VE are thoroughly convinced that no
remedy yet known affords so certain re
lief from that class of disorders which
modern conditions of working and liv
ing now breed, as your Paine's celery
compound"
Certainly one remedy is no better
than another unless it accomplishes
more than another.
And Paine's celery compound is pre-
eminently the best remedy known to
medicine for the cure of ailments that
quent impure blood. The rheumatism,
neuralgia, sleeplessness, indigestion,
lack of strength that a bottle of Paine's
celery compound so rapidly diSpelS are
but temporary conditions if the relief
that this remedy affords is properly
given.

annually earns more money through the
medium of his books than the presi-
dent receives for his services. 1t is in

ton of the modern playwright who is in
vogue with his contemporaries of the

himself and family in moderate comfort.

plays and yet left merely a meager
estate. Lope de Vega, who is credited
with the authorship of 1,500 stage pieces

esteemed himself well repaid with a
small portion of Mr.. Fitch's rotund re-
mittances. The names of the many plays
written by BARLEY Campbell were once
blazoned on three sheets from one end of
the country to the other, but their earn
ings were small Charles H. Hoyt was
more fortunate. At one time thought to
be merely ephemeral, his comedies were
large revenue producers during his life,
and their earning capacity is still active.
John w Dunno, manager of the Hoyt
reyivals now locally current, has paid to
the Hoyt estate 900 in royalties dur

estimated that the American public has
paid much more than a million dollars
to see the eighteen comedies that came
from Mr.. Hoyt's fertile pen.

CRANES FINANCIAL RECORD.
St. Louis Purse Strings Unloosened
For eDavid Harum"

St Louis and the Olympic theater
hold a record of which both may well
be proud, says the St Louis Star. 1t is
nothing else than having produced the
greatest week that William H. Crane
ever played. Which being interpreted,
means that more people paid admission
at the Olympic to see Mr.. Crane in his
play, David Harum,'' than at any
other theater in the country. 1t was
the biggest weeks business he ever
played to in his whole career.
During the week that closed last Sat
urday night the record was made. 1t
was also record for St Louis theaters,
for it was the biggest week that any
ST. Louis theater ever had at the prices.
The receipts amounted to a snug mar
gin over $4,000 for the week. More
money may have been taken in at
box office-a1though it is not likely
but never unless it was at price much
higher than that charged for the Crane
performances.
Heretofore Chicago held the record
for Mr.. Cranes performances. 1t was
during the Worlds fair in 1893 and dur
ing the week that Mr. Crane played
there the receipts never ran below
81, 100 for an evening.

to the modern, strenuous life-despite
the fact that diseases of the nervous

nevertheless. within the past five or six
years the average life of Americans

pronounced it as their firm opinion tina;

IN THE WRONG KEY.
Ernest Hogan's Feet Refused TO Do
Their Duty.

A little story about Ernest Hogan, the
unbleached American" comes from San
Francisco. Hogan composes many of
the songs sung by himself and by others
who exploit the popular coon song.
Not long ago he was rehearsing his
act and songs at The Orpheunn, where
the music is under the direction of E. M
Rosner, a most capable musician in this
particular branch of the business
At a certain place in one of Hogan's
numbers he introduces a dance. This
day, he seemed unable to catch on to the
dance part, and made several false
starts Finally, Rosner exclaimed:
Well, Hogan-what'S the matter with
your feet today?"
Il don't know Mr. Rosner Some
things wrong, but what it is I can't tell
Let my try it again.
The trial was made, and still Hogans
feet failed to make good with the music.
After two or three more attempts, he
stopped short as if struck by a thought.
BY the way, Mr.. Rosner," said he,

SUCCESS OF JANE oAKER. .
The Fiancee of Hale Hamilton, James
K. Hackett's Leading Woman.

I see that Jane Oaker who was here
last season with Kathryn Kidder, has
signed leading woman for James K.
Hackett, says the dramatic critic of the
Colorado Springs Gazette.
That's a pretty nice role for woman
so young on the stage to fall into and
no doubt Pepper PEPPER will be appre
ciative and come forward with another
check for his aspiring daughter. Miss
Oaker is the St. Louis girl who forsoolz
society for the stage a little over a year
ago and created a sensation among the
muiti-millionaires of that city, in which
set her family moves. Then she did an
other thing which set society agog-she
engaged herself to Hale Hamilton, a
member of the company in which she
was playing and the two played tOgeth
er real life-like in "A Midsummer
Nights Dream Hamilton's father is
the general claims attorney of the San
ia Fe road and the family is one of the
best known in Kansas City. The young
mans parents were travelling with him
and Miss Oaker had her aunt along as
a chaperone when the company played
here last season. 1t was upon this en-
gagement that the engagement of the
two young people leaked out and was
made public for the first time. OF late
nothing has appeared in the press about
young Hamilton in connection with
Miss Oalxer nor has the young woman'S
chaperOne been mentioned. so it is pre-
sumed she is going the way of all other
aspiring stars-sacrificing all such
things for art. for be it known Jane
Oaker is very ambitious and has her
own ideas about the stage.
AS Hackett's leading woman Miss
Oaker has a chance that comes to few
actresses so young The only instance
of such a bound to fame that is recall
ed is that of Maud Fealy who is Will
liam Gillette's leading won an, and the
youngest on the stage.

Clyde Fitch. whose income last year

William Gillette'S returns from his
