Science of St. Louis. astonished and pleased a critical audience at Seals Hall last night with lecture on Vitosophy, one of the occnlt sciences. that signifies the Wisdom of Life
 The Professor was clad in a corduroy vel vet dress suit of dazzling whiteness with robe of royal purple trimmed in gold lace' and his startling declarations and logical presentation at once won the attention or the audience. His proposition was as fol- lows:
 Poverty is a disease and can be cured if you know what to do for it. Vitesophy teaches that there are seven desirable things to attain in life, viz.: Love- health, wealth, comfort, knowledge, harmo ly and power The attainment of these blessings will ban ish crime, disease, poverty, fear, ignorance, discord and weakness"
 The lecture closed with the examination of two gentlemen nominated by the audi ence. The examinations were highly sat isfactory. and elicited much applause from the audience. The lectures continue. TO- nights subject is How to Become Hlch. Admission Is free.

AMUSEMENT IS.

The Baldwin Melville Company, one of the strongest popular-priced organizations on the road, opened an engagement at the Auditorium last night to a large and high ly delighted audience, presenting as an opening bill, "Only Farmers Daughter one of the strongest plays in it's repertoire. The company is evenly balanced. Every role was well filled.
 The individual work of MT. Smith, MT. Mackey, MT. Fahay, Miss Halford, Miss Newhall Miss Mosters and Baby Wava was excellent
 Baby Wava is wonderful child actress and the ease with which she carried the really difficult part in which she was cast was nothing short of phenomenal.
 The pretty little seubrette, Miss Fanny Granger, was out of sorts and did not en- ter into the spirit of her work with the vim of which she is capable. In her turn with Frank Fohay she sang and acted with a listlessness that would have cost her a weeks salary in the eye of most managers. The specialties are all clever, and whole the company is worthy of a liberal patron age.
 A vaudeville bill embracing specialties by every member of the company, will be pre- sented at matinee this afternoon, and the engagement will be brought to close to- night with Wicked London" thrilling melodrama.

NO DEFENSE INTENDED.
Another London Paper Discusses the
 Hay-Pauncefote Treaty.

London, January 19.-The Daily Telegram, in the course of very temperate editorial on the Nicaragua canal controversy, says
 There is not the smallest reason to be- lieve that the United States Senate in tended to afford or slight the British gov ernment. Yet, by injudicious utterances and unrestraned criticisms, an attempt has been made to breed i'll feeling. Not all English politicians are discreet, neither are all English newspapers guarded in their criticisms.
 Tt is quite possible that the United States may have a satisfactory equivalent to offer for fresh concessions such the Senate desires they advance cogent arguments to justify agreeing to the amendments without compensation. If the abrogation of the Clayton-Buwer treaty is demanded the question will be discussed on its merits.
 British ministers do not wish to hinder the construction of the canal and they recognize the natural desire of the United States to be the custodians of the canal. They cannot however, be sent to the es- tablshment of the dangerous precedent of the abrogation of treaty by a stroke of the pen."

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
Symptoms of Very Common Trouble.

SyuIPtSiio VI a fSiy SOTiHlOn ITOuUtcs
 There is no disease so common in the United States as catarrh, because it ap- pears in so many forms and attacks so many different organs.
 It is a common mistake to suppose that catarrh is confined to the nose and throat Any inflammation of the mucous mem bra ne wherever located, accompanied by abnor- nal secretions, is catarrh. Catarrh of stom- ach or bladder intestines is nearly as common as nasal catarrh, and much more serious, although it is true that stomach catarrh and catarrh of other internal or gans is the result of neglected nasal ca tarrh
 A new remedy has recently appeared which, so far as tested seems to be re- markedly effective in promptly curing ca tarrh, wherever located. The preparation is sold by druggists generally under the name of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, and in addition to being very palatable and con- venient, possesses extraordinary merit in many cases giving immediate relief from the coughing, hawking and constant clear ing of the throat and head those symp- toms with which every one Is familiar who has ever suffered from colds in the head and throat.
 Catarrh is simply continuation of these symptoms until the trouble becomes chron- ic, and grows gradually worse from year to year.
 oeuoie Q Soeoiih 1"oiSto dic coHpoSeu or Hydrastin, Eucalyptol, Guaiacol and simi- lar antiseptics and catarrh specifics, from which it will be seen that no secret is made of the ingredients, and also that no mineral poisons are used, as is the case with many well known catarrh medicines
 For catarrh of the nose, throat, bronchial tubes. for catarrh of stomach, intestines or bladder, no preparation is so safe and gives such rapid and permanent results as Stu arts Catarrh Tablets.
 All druggists sell them for 50c for full sized package. You can use them with as- surance that you will not contract the CO., caine or morphine habits, as the results from this catarrh cure are apparent from the first days use.

AN OPEN LETTER
 FROM LOVEMAN, JOSEPH & LOEB.

Next week, beginning Mon- day will probably be the big gest week in the history of our store.
 Larger even than it was Christmas week.
 And there are many reasons.
 By way of explanation.
 January has always been a dull month, productive of nothing but loss.
 The January question is how to make expenses for clerk hire, etc.
 It's not a question of profit, but saving January losses is a big thing, so we think we have solved it, and this is the way we went about it.
 At the close of the whole sale season, we went to several large manufacturers much the same as any large metropolitan store-and when ever we could buy at our prices, say, the remainder of a winter line, a jag of odds and ends in the matter of sizes and choice, we did so. The re- suit is that we bought thous- ands of dollars worth of mer- chadise at probably soc or o0c on the dollar-never paying more than the latter figure and generally the former.
 This merchandise is now here.
 We are glad to savethe Jan uary loss-that's merchant dising-so the wholesale cost We have added to the cost of selling to you, such as clerk hire, etc, and the result is that we can sell these goods to you at less than they cost whole sale.
 It will pay you to read our extraordinary two page an nouncement in this afternoons News and Ledger.

PORTER MAKES BOND.
He Says Ills Accounts Will Yet Come
 Out Straight.

Bowling Green, Ky, January 1S.-The Grand Jury after an all-day investigation of the alleged shortage of Luther R. Por- ter cashier of the Warren Deposit Bank, returned an indictment against him charg- ing him with embezzlement His alleged misappropriation is $49,055.02.
 MT. Porter did not wait for bench war rant to be issued, but accompanied by his father-in-law Rev. J. s. Grider, and his brother-in-law, Edgar Grider, he walked into open court where his attorneys and bondsmen had preceded him. All formali- ties were waived and MT Porter executed bond in the sum of $5000.
 MT. Porter gave the Associated Press the following signed statement:
 "So far being short in my accounts with the Warren Deposit Bank I most emphatically deny the charge. I consider that very great injustice has been done me and my family. At the proper time the facts will be clearly demonstrated. I only ask my friends to suspend judgment until the facts are brought out.

ENGLISH PAPERS ON THE CANALQUESTIO It is a Matter of Business and
 Not of Manners GREAT BRITAIN NEEDS II The Spectator Says Military Control Should be Allowed, as Neutrality Could Not Otherwise be En-
 forcd in Time or War
GREAT BRITAIN NEEDS 1T

London, January 1S.-The Spectator in an article discussing the Nicaragua canal question, will say tomorrow:
 Ut is a matter of business and not of manners. We hold that it is to the inter est of the British Empire that the canal should be made, provided, of course, it is canal which shall be used on equal terms. We are the greatest maritime na- ton. Any and every instance in the water ways of the world must be to our profit. Whenever and wherever you facilitate ocean carriage you confer benefit upon British carrying trade.
 "The United States government Is pre- pared for political and trade reasons to make the canal, provided America is al- lowed to control a waterway which is ere ated at her cost, and by control America means the right not only of policing but of fortifying.
 We should allow military control. Neu trality could not be enforced in war un- less there was some one in effective mill tary control. The Spanish, when their fleets were intending to go to Manila by way of the Suez canal began to commit breach of neutrality. What stopped them was not paper regulations, but the strong arm of the British military control of Egypt. In the same way, if the Nicaragua canal were neutral, only on paper and we were at war with first class naval power. we may be sure the neutrality would be violated, with apologies to the United States and other guaranteeing powers af- terward. If America were on the spot in force, there would be no tampering with the canal"
 After considering the case of a war be- tween the United States and England the a for xuil ha nant power could block both ends and the Americans by manning the canal and policing it, would be able to prevent Eng land using it.

The Telephone Girl.

Some critics have described Telephone Girl" which is the announced attraction at the Jefferson Theatre next Monday as "audacious. Certain it is that no produc- ton emanating from the fertile brains of Hugh Morton and Gustave Kerker and hav- ing it's birth in the New York Casino has met with more decided success throughout the country; so it would seem that the American public has a decided penchant for things audacious. It will be seen with its troupe of comely maidens. brisk dia- logue, funny complications, handsome scen- cry and bright and beautiful costumes, and with a cast headed by Harry Hermsen, Ma bel Hite, the soubrette; Douglas and Ford, the dancing wonders Flora Parker, the comedienne; Frank Kelly, Bessie Gilbert, Charles Burrows, Louise Lewis John J. Ma gee, Bert DeRuelle, Inez Dale, Nelda Herr man, Jean Bernard and Edith Gibbons. The company includes some forty persons and 1t is said to be good one

Sousa.

The old saying that prophet is not with out honor save in his own country will hardly hold good in the case of John Philip Sousa, for his greatness in his own field of endeavor has long been recognized at home and did not require the additional testi- mony of European critics to establish his popularity with American music lovers. However, the enormous success achieved by Sousa on the other side last summer will not detract from his prestige here, but on the contrary, the recognition accorded him abroad will assuredly add lustre to his art istic laurels at home.
 Sousa is coming here for two concerts at the Jefferson Theatre on Tuesday, with Blanche Duffield, soprano, and Bertha Bucklin, violiniste, as soloists.

Alice Neilsen.

Alice Nielsen, the youngest, prettiest and most gifted of light opera prima donni, will be heard on next Thursday at the Jefferson theatre in her popular opera comique, "The Singing Girl"
 Miss Nielsen, now on her third annual starring tour, with no rivals in the field, has in no sense undertaken to economize or cut down her company. The organiza- tion this year is said to be larger than ever, while every one of those who helped towards Miss Niesens primal success as a star is still in the little diva's support.
 Note the names in the cast and observe that Eugene Cowles, the great basso still stands forth, so do Richie Ling, the tenor and George Butler, the baritone, while the original trio of star comedians, Joseph Herbert, Joseph Cawthorn and John Savin furnish the fun.

BRADSTREET.s REVIEW.


 New York, January 1S.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Speculation has Jagged, but trade on spring account has on the whole improved this week. Southern and southwestern trade is opening up satisfactorily and there are better reports received even from the northwest as to the outlook for spring business. As to retail distribution, condi- tions are hardly so favorable The third week of January ends with weat ther condi- tions unfavorable to retail demand for wooden, rubber and footwear and the de- mand for household sizes of coal has quiet ed somewhat On the other hand the open season has helped the distribution of hard ware, paints and glass and an advance of nearly one-third is reported in window glass.
 The textile situation is not altogether clear Cotton has weakened on increased stocks at the South, and reports that South ern yarn and Fall River print cloth manu- lecturers are considering shut-downs, and in spite of reiterations of low crop esum- ates, which the preent movements certainly do not confirm. Wool is in slack demand and manufacturers buy only to cover orders. The shoe trade is in good shape so far as spring orders are concerned and leather i firm with stocks of the same and of higher down to small proportions.
 Southern trade continues a whole fair to good and the outlook is regarded as a cheerful one. Another "readjustment' of refined sugar rates has occurred, with the result of decrease of 10c per hundred in the price of granulated. It has been a week of ebbing strength in the cereals. Argentine reports display an India rubber consistency and this week have heen devoted to stretch ing estimates of the export surplus from that country. Northwest wheat receipts have also been heavy and the so-called Wall street interest has been reported to have been in liquidation Corn receipts are also pathy with the decline in wheat, which is now cents off from the January rise Flour is dull but the decline of 10 to 20 cents per bushel has tended to help export business In the iron and steel trade mills are well sold ahead and pig iron production is very large. Practically nothing is heard of ad- vances in prices and 1t is almost certain that steel rails will go no higher. Some good buiness in this line has been trans acted, and despite reports that export trade is dead 20, GOO tons have been sold at Chicago to go abroad.
 Sales of pig iron will foot up good total as @ whole. More has been done in Besse- mer pig and biliets at Pittsburg, consider able foundry iron has been sold at Chicago and some large quantities of southern pig iron are reported dealt in at Birmingham. The labor outlook in iron does not promise as well. The annuncement of the Bessemer producers that they will reduce wages 15 per cent. has been met on the part of the men by demand for 10 per cent. in- Ncrease.
 Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week, 3, ,336, ,0O4 bushels against 5,961, ,095 last week. 3,05l ,000 in the corresponding week of 1900, 519S.671 in 1899 and 3.726O54 in 1898. From July to date. this season, wheat ex-

At The Jefferson.

The mechanical and spectacular mon strosity, "The Evil Eye," opened an en- gagement at the Jefferson Theatre last night to a large audience, and insofar as the mechanism of the play was concerned was good. In fact it was decidedly me chanfcal from start to finish, but for all that provoked much laughter and ap- plause. MT. Yale, who ran the Devils Auction into the ground, is starting similar course with '"rhe Evil Eye" which, however, will not stand as much running as the other play. It is the same old Evil Eye with small chorus, poor in voice and decidedly deficient in the rounded curves that go largely to make up perfect chorus girls. There were other singers besides the chorus, but they were either deficient or sadly out of voice.
 The individual work was confined to Borant and Elliott in the grotesque roles of Mid and Nod, Geo. Yoeman as Kalsen- heiner a Communications, and Miss Mayo whose deficiencies in other lines were made up by her striking stage pres ence.
 The mechanical effects were good and while there is little effort at plot. ths redi.- culousness of the whole is worthy of hearty good laughter.
 The company will appear at matinee this afternoon and again tonight.

What Happened to Jones.

Broadhurst Bros. Company in their hilari- ous farce, What Happened to Jones" comes to the Jefferson Wednesday next, Wednesday matinee and evening. Geo. H. Broadhurst, the author modestly declines to dignity it with the name of comedy. He insists on calling 1t farce. Whatever one may choose to call 1t What Happened to Jones' Is good. Without coarse or sug gestive line or situation. It is mirth pro voking in the extreme. It is high class farce consisting largely of clever character drawing, lines of bright significance and a title better than has been conferred on any farce of recent years.
