JOE JEFFERSON WILL STAY.
He Denies the Story That He Will
QUIT the Stage.

Pittsburg, Nov. 12.-Josph jefferson has
no intention of retiring from the stage
at least for some time. The veteran actor
made that fact clear in a speech to his
audience at the Alvin last night It
followed a most enthusiastic curtain call
at the conclusion of The Cricket on the
Hearth" Mr.. Jefferson said he felt called
upon to make the announcement because
of certain articles published in new5pa-
pers in other cities Some had stated that
now was the time for the people to see
Mr.. Jefferson if they ever wanted to see
him. The inference was plain, but not
agreeable. The statements might De in
teresting to read-about some other per-
son-but he himself did not enjoy. them.
Il wish to have it made plain that l
expect to continue for a while at least"
said Mr.. Jefferson. "Of course, the time
must come he continued, "and that
shortly, when I must give up actirE. I
cannot too emphatically deprecate the
spectacle of actor continuing on the
stage when, because of declining facul-
ties, his work borders upon imbecIity.
But so long as such greeting as that Of
tonight is extended me, and my health
and strength continue as they are, there
is no reason why should not come back
to you from time to time.
Il may say of myself that I made my
first appearance upon the stage when 8
years of age. Therefore I have been be-
fore the public more than 20 years"
Here a tremendous burst of applause
interrupted Mr.. Jefferson for several min
utes. When it had subsidized he continued
playfully mo doubt you all hope that
I may not continue to act 20 years longer.
But, so long as I can find before me
so many happy. smiling faces as there
are tonight and as there have been dur
ing all of the present week, why should
I not come back to see your" A perfect
thunder of applause the answer and
continued until Mr.. Jefferson bowed his
adieu.
| It was a touching spectacle. Nothing
like it has ever been witnessed in local
theater. The great audience seemed to
reach out its arms 10 the delightful old
player who has entertained them so well
during many years 1t was the saluta
ton of near and dear friends who mad
known and loved each other 1t was a
tribute to a great and worthy artist. flow

CAME LIKE A CIRCUS.
The CIVIL Eye" Baggage Ar
rives Early Today.

The coming to town today of Yale's
spectacular production The Evil Eye
was like the arrival of small circus.
Yale's special baggage cars accompanied
by the stage carpenters, property men
and electricians arrived at a. m.-circus
time. The company came in at o'clock
this afternoon.
All morning long transfer teams piled
between the Grand opera house and the
cars. The scenery, mechanical cOntriv-
ances and electrical apparatus came load
ed in big wagons, known in theatrical
parlance as flats" owned by Mr.. Yale.
The wardrobe trunks filled two big flats
furnished by the local transfer company.
1T is the heaviest production in To-
peka since The Twelve Temptations ;"
declared the stage carpenter of the Grand,
who has handled all the big shows that
have been here for the past fifteen years.
1.-The Twelve Temptations" also
Yale's production and its initial perform
ances on any stage at the Grand many
years ago was an event about which peo-
pie still talk. 1.-The EVIL Eye is in the
same eategory-a big spectacle.
Two electricians two stage carpenters,
and two property men comprise the me-
chanical force carried with the produc-
ton. They superintend getting in the
show" the transfer from the cars into
the theater is called, and Immediately be-
gan setting 1t up for tonight's perform
ance. Considerable time is required to
get everything in place for performance
of this kind. and they began on the task
before noon in order to have everything
In readiness tonight.
Can you give your show on this
stage?' was asked Mr.. O'Hara. the cleo
trician, who has charge of the mechanical
part of the spectacle.
You could. put on Ben Hur' here, -
was his laconic answer. as his eye swept
the big stage Ben Hur" is the heaviest
production in theatrical annals.
This is the storage battery for Arm
strong's electric ballet which opens the
third act continued MIR OHara- 1T
furnishes all the electricity used in this
ballet. I can promise your people they
have never seen anything on the stage
finer electrically than this feature"
There is but one company playing THE
Evil Eye The one to be seen tonight
- the same that is playing the big as
Wen as the small cities. Last night in
Junction City the crowd was too large
for the theater and many failed to OBJ
tain seats.

HASKELL INDIANS.
Annual Report of Superintenee nt
PEARS Sent In.

Washington. Nov superintendent
Peairs OF Haskell institute in Kansas, in
ms annual report says that although at
times and results of the work OF education
among the Indians do not atisfy the on
lockers, to those who are in the work and
therefore have opportunities to observe
the gradual development of individuals,
there IS more and more of encouragement
and satisfaction As proof of the perna-
nent good results of training. the Indians,
the report. says that of 50 graduates pre-
vious to the class of 1902, at least n are
at work earning their own living and in
many instances aiding needy parents or
supporting in a respectable way a little
family OF their own. OF the Il graduates
OF the class of 1902 it is stated that there
IS not one but is qualified to make rec
ord equal to the earlier graduates. The
undergraduates are also making excellent
records. The fact. however. that the per
cent of successes among undergraduates
is not so large as among graduates is
cited as a strong argument in favor of
the continuation of thorough educational
work. There is constantly increasing

A BULL DOG
Is Easier to Shake Off Than the Coffee
Grip.

A lady of st. Paul. Mimi, never drank
anything but cold water until she was
married and then commenced to drink
coffee.
She says: about one year after our
marriage my husband began to com
plain of a distress in his stomach. and I
had such dizzy spells after each meal
that we had to see a doctor. We drank
coffee three times a day, but did not
imagine that coffee was causing all this
distress The doctor said both our liv-
ers were out of order gave us some
medicine, and told US that we ought to
break off drinking coffee. We stopped
it for a while, but missed the hot drink
so much we went back to coffee. In
five years time I lost complexion that
was faultless and gained a very bad
stomach. and my husbands stomach
was ruined. He thought he had cancer
of the stomach, or something worse, but
we had formed the habit of coffee drink
ing. and like drunkards found it no easy
matter to break off, although we knew
it was killing both of u.s.
We kept a grocery store at the time.
and a lady called one day and asked for
Postum Food Coffee saying, My chill
dren Ike it: will not drink anything
else and I know it is good for them
because they never have trouble with
their stomachs.' This interested me
and 7 told her about my bad stomach
She told me how to make Postum. and
we began its use ourselves
After drinking it three times a day
/ for a week. l felt much better and my
/ husband declared that he felt like new
man. We have drank Postum for fouI
years, and have never had one particle
of stomach trouble since, and have lost

liked, and the whites of my eyes are as
clear as ever aEain. 1 know it is be-
cause we LETT off drinking coffee and
