VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

Manager Poll is again demonstrating
his great genius for providing first
class vaudeville by the show that he
has on at the Jacques this week.
Such a dainty novelty as the Misses
Delmore in "a Bridegroom's Revere"
has not been seen here before, and it is
attracting attention on all sides as
something that ought to be seen. The
Misses Delmore are very pretty young
ladies, and the beautiful poses they
assume in their roles of forgotten
sweethearts is as neat an exhibition
of tableaux vivants as has ever been
given on the local stage. And then
the Four Otis add greatly to the fun
with their lively comedietta "Heinz
In Pickle. while the remainder of the
bill includes some unusually attractive
acts. They are provided by Latell
and Gofre, Joe Morris, Mcmahon and
Chapelle, Gilbert Sarony and Healy
and Farnum. Prices are 10, 20 and
80 cents: afternoons 1 and 20 cents, la
dies, 10.

Ancient Picture Gallery.

A picture gallery that dates from
the stone age has been unearthed in a
cavern near Eyzies, France. The pic
lures, which are all of prehistoric an
finals, were not only cut in the rock,
as is usually the case with such repre-
sensations, but were painted in several
colors, and give some evidence of ar
tistic skill. There are so pictures, of
which 40 represent bisons of various
kinds. The pigments used, which are
shades of red and brown, have been
found, on analysis by Moissan, the en-
inent French chemist. to be ochres
mixed with minute fragments of trans
parent silica.

THE CHANGED GRIZZLY.
Formerly Dreaded Animals Are No
Longer as Fierce and Conn
bative as They Once Were.

There are numerous reliable state
ments of grizzly bears having at
tackled men, but nowadays, says the
"Grizzly Bear Lore" in Outing, the
grizzly does not seek out his human
victims, as there are credible state
ments that his forefathers used to
do. Neither does he lie in wait. and
bouncing upon hunter, tear him into
bloody shreds in delighted fendish-
ness, as the old-time stories used to-
tell. The change in the grizzly's dis
position is likened by veteran hunters
to the change in the character ofithe
white cousin of the grizzly, the polar
bear Of the arctics. When the sta
tions for the Hudson Bay company
were established the diaries Of the
men there often referred to the
fright of attacks by polar bears.
Many navigator in the arctic seas
has been clawed and chewed to death
by polar bears. But for nearly a
century the polar bear has not been
regarded as SO very fierce, and nova
days it is looked upon as cowardly
beast. Association with armed men
has modified the polar bears DISPOSE
ton.

Nagle and Catherine, his wife, for
which reason they have consented to
live separately and apart from each
other during their natural lives. .
He will not, without her consent, visit
her, or knowingly enter any house
where she may dwell or reside" -. .
1t will be observed that the husband
agrees that he will not enter any house
in which his wife may be, and he says
that he will be only too glad to abide
by that part of the articles of sep
aration-
Mrs. Nagle has resumed her resi-
dence in the old homestead at ST. Law
renee, which she entered as bride
and has occupied ever since. It was
there that she was found and, ques-
toned by Chicago Tribune reporter
as to her views on marriage, when she
declared: ,"@t--
Never get married. That's my ad-
vice. I've found little happiness in the
welded state, and the same is the case
with large percentage of others.
There are some in my own neighbor-
hood. You read of others in the news s.
papers, and some don't say much about
it. We didn't have much money when
we started out in life together. We
were economical and thrifty, and
thought that its possession would
bring me contenfment. In that was
mistaken. We accumulated little COM
pared with the great fortunes of the
world, but it waS enough for our needs
and yet we were not happy.
"There was time when believed
that the possession Of money would
bring me, as married woman, the
greatest satisfaction in the world, but
found that was mistaken. Young
man, just take this advice: Don't get
married, and accept this as the truth:
Money alone briggs neither content
lnent nor happiness"
Mr.. Nagle has gone to live on one of
the farms which he secured by the 6li-
vision of their property. 1t is in the
eastern section Of the county, about
ten miles from st. Lawrence, and there
he expects to spend the remainder of
his days. Unless they should happen to
meet by chance, it is not likely that
they will see each other on this side
Of the grave. They simply have al
lowed the fires of love to die out, and
not spark of affection remains.
Advised you not to get married, did
she?' he said. $50 do that's what /
say. It brought us no happiness. We
weren't contenteds and so we decided
to separate. Marriage in our case, as
in many others, was fiat failure

QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER.
gagSSd e X * - 8

A very pretty rural drama indeed, is
"Quincy Adams Sawyer which will
be presented at Polls this evening, one
of the prettiest, in fact, in the whole
range of this class of plays. 1t is al
most entirely of a comedy character,
although there is a touch of pathos in
volved in the character Of the blind
heroine The presenting company is the
same that played the piece here last
season on two occasions and that has
won public favor since during a five
weeks run at the Academy of Music,
New York. Prices are %, 30, 80, 70
cents and $1.O0.

How the Earth Changes.

How does one generation of men sue
coed another? The fathers are not
swept away in body to make room
for the children, but one by one the old
drop off and the young come on, till
a day is reached when none Of those
remain that once were here, says Har-
per's. How does some form of human
speech become extinct? About a hum
dred years ago an old lady named Dolly
Dentreath died in Cornwall. Shecould
speak the Cornish language; after her
death there was nobody that could.
Thus quietly did the Living Cornish
language become dead language; and
in a like unobtrusive manner have
been wrought most Of the new becom-
ings which have changed and are
changing the earth. -

WHEN REUBEN COMES TO TOWN.

Actors and theatrical companies
have the reputation of having an ex-
fraordinary amount of nerve. The
manager of the supposed musical COM
edy, aWhen Reuben Comes to Town, =
certainly has his share of nerve when
be asks the public to pay S1.50 for a
seat to witness last nights perform
ance. Tt was raw. There wasn't
q decent singer. only two dancers WHO
were OF arg use, the music was dull
and embarrassing and SO was the cho-
rus. It is only a waste Of time and
space ia writing about the play and
the company, which might make hit

REUBEN IN NEW YORK.

When a countryman goes to New
York for his first time there is apt to

things are well set forth in the camedy
played at Polls Thursday evening.
It is droll comedy with many anus
ing complications that are worked out
in laugh-provoking style. Prices are
25. 35 and so cents.

First English Book on Sport.


The first book on sport ever printed
in the English language was a rhymed
treatise called the "Boke of st. Al
bans" its author being Il woman. Dame
Juliana Berners. Its second edition was
printed by Wynkyn de Worde in 1896.
A descendant of her family. Lord Ber-
ners. was the translator of Froissart's
"ChroniclcS." 1t is true that old manu-
scripts existed, such as the "Venerie
de Twecy" of the time of Edward H.,
but it was Dame Juliana who was the
real ancestrcss of sporting literature
in England. for she also composed an
essay on hawking and another on
"Fishing With an Angle" the last be-
ing of such excellence that IZaak Wal
ton himself did not disdain to take a
hint from its pages.

WORTH 100000, 900.

The President of certain big Oil Com
pany Is said to be worth $500, OOO, 900. A
tidy bit of money and no mistake. And
yet he isn't happy. In an address to Bible
class he spoke of trials and troubles of the
rich and the loads they have to carry. A
young lady whispered to friend that he
might wear Benson's Porous Plaster ON his
back or, betterstill, divide the m oney among
the members of the class. don't know
why her idea about the plaster makes me
want to laugh, but it does. All the Same
I have seen plenty Of people laugh after
putting Benson's Plasters on their backs
or chests, or on any other spot where there
was weight, heaviness, weakness or pain.
1t may be the sharp stabs of neuralgia, the
aches and wrenches of rheumatism 1t may
be colds in muscles or bones, 1t may be
those kidney or lumbago thrusts that make

of the stupid and useless old style plasters.

eating Crow"

The term eating crow" comes from
an ante Revolutionary story. A SOL
dicr of an English regiment stationed
in Virginia shot a pet crow belonging
to farmer. The latter entered a
complaint with the colonel. who SEN
fenced the soldier to eat the crow.
The farmer was left alone with the
soldier to see that he did it. After
the soldier had consumed a portion Of
the bird he took his gun. presented it
at the farmer and told him to eat the
remainder of the crow or he would
shoot him. This was the origin of the
eating crow story.

Before we complain of the spelling
of our daughters we should perhaps
take exception to the pronunciation Of
our fathers. Most of the eccentricities
in spelling common to children arise
from their attempts to reproduce words
as they hear them pronounced by their
elders. A child who was told to make
a list Of all the fruits she knew wrote
down. apis. strorbriz. rursbriz. gooz-
bris, bnarners." Another spelled the
word idea" with the addition of an
ar" "Idearw exclaimed her teacher.
"That is a funny way of spelling

be outdone. 81 KNOW" she answered
readily, but l spelled it that way for
short" London Chronicle.
