THE DEVILS AUCTION.

A Perennial Success with Up to.Date Features.
For over q fifth Of century Chas
H. Yale has continuously kept the
famous "Devil's Auction" before the
public, and now offers the Goth edition
OF this marvellous attraction. Every
year it has been revised and brought
up to date by the introduction of new
matter, ideas, clever artists, scenery,
ballets, costumes and exclusive fea.
lures. It is stated, however. by the
management that this the 10th edition
OF the Devils Auction" will exceed
by far any former efforts, for not one
old feature remains.
The entire cast with one exception
will be new, while among the new spe-
cial features may be mentioned Fox &
Foxie, q most novel vaudeville feature
which will at once become q great fa-
vorite with the ladies and children /;
Bush & Gordon, o duo of grotesque
acrobats who combine dexterous feats
Of the gymnasiA with laughable pam
tomimic comicalities; The Dance to
the Moon, q new and most original
idea which comes from Europe and is
presented for the first time in this
country, and introduces number OF
startling and unique light effects,
combined with other novel features.
The comedy element of the perform
ance has been we'll taken care of in
the engagement OF the noted comedi-
an, Mr.. Gus Mortimer, who will ap-
pear as Toby" the donkey, afterwards
transformed to . man, and William J..
Mason, who will enact the part of
Pere Andoche, while Miss Victoria
Walters, the clever singing and dane.
ing comedians will appear Is Janet
the Milkmaid.
Special attention is called to the re-
production of the beautiful Dance Of
the Elements which has been greatly
elaborated, and now offers besides the
magnificent electrical and gold, silver
and rain effects, shower of flowers
and other novel illusions.
Manager Yale has also provided q
new Scene of Transformation entitled
Oceans Mighty Depths, which to.
gether with new scenery, costumes
and trick mechanisms, promises to
make the Goth edition of the " DEVILS
Auction" the most notable production
of its phenomenal career.

Is Rivaled by Human Hair Where Dandruif Is
Eradcsted.

SeAlskin is admired the world over
for its softness and glossiness and yet
the human hair is equally as soft and
glossy when healthy; and the radical
cause OF all hair trouble is dandruff,
which is caused by pestiferous para
site that saps the vitality of the hair
at its root. Newbro's Herpicide is the
only preparation that is fatal to the
dandruff germ. Without dandruf no
falling hair, but luxuriant growth Of
glossy, soft hair is certain. Securing
the scalp won't cure dandruff. Kill
the dandruff germ. Thousands of
women owe their beautiful suits of
hair to Newbro's Herpicide.

The birth of the cen,urv ;s
'xS6etter things. 1t seems
10 o'et to every community golden
1tunity to improve-to hasten
sio the highway of progress. Dur
'"the last decade of the nineteenth
chtury the South has astonished the
world in industrial development.
Social or political conditions had
placed the Southern States at the
mercy of more fortunate sections,
and it required almost superhuman
energy to overcome diff culties which
appeared well nigh insurmountable,
and, as was aptly described by the
editor OF the Daily States, ''to day
a regeneratcd South lifts her radiant
face to the smiling sunrise and bids
welcome to the new century. Her
burdens of war lifted, her sorrows
past, her energies quickened and her
capacity broadened by the bitter ex
perience through which she has
gone, the South to-day stands IN a
position where the first ray from the
sun of progress of the young cen
fury falls full athwart her vigorous
form, and every emotion Of her ma
ture is vibrant with the thrill OF a
new life. :"
In all the South no section is
more favored by nature than
that of which Lafayette parish is
the garden spot. Its natural adj
vantages are unsurpassed and prop
erly developed would yield susie
nance for many thousands more.
The opening of the century
should serve as an incentive to our
people. 1t is the most opportune
moment for them to shake off what

speed and move along with the

West Point has doubtless given to
the country many great soldiers, but
1t has also produced some of the
most accomplished hoodlums of any
re. The recent investigation of the
haz30G of the unfortunate young
man, Cadet Booze, has disclosed a
most hum,liating condition of affairs
at that famous institution. It is in
credible that such cowardly prac-
tees were tolerated by the authori-
ties of the academy. The barbarous
treatment of defenseless young fell
lows at the hands of arrogant men
of the upper class is of character
SO distinctly base that i: has aroused
the indignant protest of fair-minded
people everywhere. Unless this dis
graceful business is stopped, West

THE CYNIC.

Thou hast made thy life sneer,
And thy voice is raised alone,
That wearied public hear
Doubt and satire in its tone.
Yes, we know as well as thou
That Death reaches every life;
That man breaks his hottest vow !;
That most joys with pain are rife.
And have known it for 50 long
That thy words awake surprise.
Dost thou think, of all earth's throng,
Thou alone art passing wise ?
Ill-grained skeptic, look about
Many things are fair to view.
If thou must abuse, then doubt
Thy own judgment to be true.
Virtue, love aud truth, ween,
Live for him who knows their face.
If life's sins all thou'st seen.
Then must thou myself be base.
