the best of his ability on that third act.
1t can not be eradicated but he has
taken OFF the wire edge as much as pos
sible.
The cast in the play was surprisingly
strong. Lemons Richard Carewe'
was excellent. He is an actor of abil-
ity' who let no chance however small
pass. Jacques Martin as the lawyer
man commonly called ''Waddles," was
equal to every requirement Robert
Robson as the soldier man and William
H. Sadler as the doctor man, two small
er parts, kept up the tone of THE Trim
ity.''
H. Dudley Hawley, 1.-THE Imp" has
improved since he was seen in the part
year ago. His impetuosity and youth
full blindness leading up to the angry
scene with .'Old Dick" were exception
ally done. Dora, Booth was a charming
Phyllis" She repeatedly won ap-
plause and proved herself an actress
far above the average in ability. She
made the most of every scene and at
no time left anything to be desired
Lillian Jerome-M Martin was pleasing
Mrs Ericsson" Jane Wheatly was as
disgusting. naughty and unprincipled
a "F'irehy'' as could be imagined. For
the part that is a compliment to the
acting. The company was superior to
the one which presented the play here
last season. 1t was as nearly a perfect
company as can be found.

BANDIT HUNTERS.
They Will Wage a War of Extermi-
nation in New Mexico.

Ell Paso,- Tex, Feb. 14.-Pursuant, to
instructions from Governor Otero $ of
New Mexico, the sheriffs of Guada-
loupe, Union, Lincoln and Chavos coun-
ties are organizing posses of picked
men to hunt down the members of the
Jack Musgrove band of bandits which
has recently terrorized that region.
This means that a war of extermina-
ton will be waged against the outlaws,
and exciting times are expected in that
portion of New Mexico to which the
outlaws have retrea ted. They are said
to be in the fastness of the wild Capt.
tan mountains. The governor addressed
a strong letter to the sheriffs of the
four counties mentioned urging them to
lend the reign of terror in the isolated
settlements of eastern New Mexico,
caused by the numbering and pillaging
outlaws" and promising that he will
recommend to the next legislature that
rewards be given those who are in
strumental in capturing and convictIng
the brigands.

TORCH TO GO OUT.
Light of Liberty Will No Longer
Shine on BedlOe Island.

New York, Feb. 14.-Liberty's torch
is to be put out. The lofty light in the
hand of the bronze goddess standing on
Bedloe island in upper New York bay,
that has been allowed to grow steadily
DINNER since BarthoIdi gave the mag
nificent statue to the United States, is
to be permanently extinguished. Sem
tsment, it is said. which has kept the
beacon burning all these years, can no
longer keep it alight, and now the gov
ernment will snuff it for all time
News of the contemplated extinguisn-
ment of the torch has been received
here in the form of a notice to mari
ners, sent out by the lighthouse board
of the treasury department, at WASH
ington. 1t states that on or about
March i, 1902, the light will be discon-
tinued.
Installed on the island to furnish
current for the torch there is power
full electric plant but it is unused. A
few lamps of small power furnish bare
ly enough illun ination so that the
beacon can be made out by passing
mariners. Lack of congressional ap-
preparation is said to be the cause for

WILL GET THE KERCHIEF.
Governor Stanley Honors Request of
Church Bazaar.

Almost every mail that comes INTO
Governor Stanleys office brings re-
quests for money or gifts of soma kind.
One of the most common requests IS
that the governor will send a handKer-
chief to be sold al some church bazaar
Requests of that kind come in every
day or two, and if Governor Stafii'e
acceded to them it would take a gooo
share of his salary buying handker-
chiefs Many of the requests do not
reach the governor at all, but are side
tracked by his private secrelary,
Luther Burns, who writes Il .Acy polite
letter on the subject without letting 1T
bother the governor.
The handberchiefs are not wanted for
tEeir intrinsic value, but because tie
fact that they were presents from the
governor would make them bring a big
price in a bazaar But last night a re-
quest came for handkerchief that
was out of the ordinary. and Luther

Al THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

One of the best plays of the season in
the hands of a most capable company
tells the story of When We Were
TWenty-One" at the Crawford last night.
No sweeter love story has been given
the stage and no production contains
the amount of good, wholesome comedy
and at the same time the large amount
of pure cOmradeShip and sentiment, as
does the four act love story by H V.
Esmond. The opportunities of every
character are ample Those of i"Dlck
Carewe," the guardian and caretaker OF
The Imp" are unlimited. And every
opportunity in the part was made the
most of by Nestor Lennon His life
long devotion to the son of poor old
Charley who was left to his guardian
ship and the care of The Trinity" when
he was but two years old, was good TO
look upon even on the stage The Imp
was the tie that bound THE Trinity
and when he let slip the story of his
infatuation for The Firefiys' which
meant an end to the supposed pretty
sentiment between him and Phyllis
ii was a blow to the soldier man, the
nothing Of Dick Carewes" shattered
hopes.
The discovery of Phyllis that after
all she loves ''Old Dick and the dawn
ing of the fact upon The Trinity that
"Old Dick loves her and then the hap
py ending when the three, the soldier
man, the doctor man and the lawyer
man who will remain single to the end
of their days, give their blessing to the
couple is a touching climax upon
beautiful play.
There is but one incident, that OF the
supper Club" which mars the four
acts. Some scene to allow of the de-
nouncement of The Firefy'' and the
mistake of "Dick Carewe'' is necessary
but the RIGHTEOUSNESS and immortality
of that scene jar upon the otherwise
unruff1ed purity of the sentiment of the
play. That scene has always been OBJ
jected to and now that the play is being
revived in England it has been changed.

COFFEE DOES 1T.
Facts Not Generally Believed.

1t is curious to watch a coffee topper
and observe how he or she will resist
all suggestions as to coffee the cause of
their various ailments.
They will charge the coated tongue
and bilious condition to something they
have eaten, likewise the wretched condi-
tion of the bowels and the palpitation of
the heart. The sallow complexion is
generally attributed to a naturally bill

But once in a while a person wakes
up and throws off coffee entirely, then
the truth begins to appear. and it is an
easy job to make this change if Postum

That High School Manual Training

PROF. GLASBY'S STATEMENT
Course in Question Gives Skill With
Tools Through Education
of the Mind.

There is much misrepresentation as to
Just what it is proposed to do for students
In the manual training courses of the
Minneapolis schools. Many have the idea
that these courses are intended to teach
those who take them trades. That this
Is not the case and the aims of manual
training are clearly set forth in the fol-
lowing interview with Professor DeCloise
Glasby of the North high school manual
training department:
There are many parents in the city who
nave children who expect to enter high
school JAN q and take the manual training
course The opinion is popularity enter
tanned that the course is one in which a pupil
may learn trade or become handy with
Tools This is grave mistake, undoubt-
eddy arising from the fact that parents do
not have time to visit the manual training
department and see for themselves what the
work is as explained by the instructor in
charge.
The aim Of the course is entirely educa-
tional. While the pupil becomes familiar
with the use Of tools, drawing instruments
etc, he is not expected to learn a trade.
The course has as many strong educational
features as any other. Some maintain that
1t has many more, developing the pupil
physically as we'll as mentally.
Most persons understand the importance
OF mathematics, language. physics, etc. Be-
side these studies and others the manual

at the sensation and shrinks from some
thing which she fears, yet cannot under
stand. The apparition of disease has
passed and thrown its cold shadow on her.
DoGGED BY DISEASE.
The steps of every womap are logged
by disease. And one may well shudder
when the shadow of this evil presence
falls across the life. Disease can steal
the color from woman's cheeks, the
brightness from her eyes: 1t can make
her life creep along on broken wing,
sunless and songless. It can wither
every flower of happiness in the garden
of girlhood and blast every Joy Of wife
or mother. It is doing such things as
these constantly. The woman who does
not suffer from womanly disease is the
exception, not the rule. The woman
who does not know the meaning of
periodic pain, headache, backache and
female weakness, is a wonder to the
majority of her sex.
1t is a good thing for women that
though disease may grasp them it cannot
hold them if they take the right means
to regain the lost liberty Of health.
Hundreds of thousands of women who
were once fast in the clutch of disease,
bear witness that Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription freed them from disease, and
gave them perfect and permanent health.
