The first playhouse to be built in Eng
land WINS the Theater. 1t was erected
in the year 1876, and its builder was
James Burbage, father Of the famous
actor Richard Burbage and himself
an actor Of some repute. Access TO the
Theater seems in old times to have been
over Efnsbury fields. Tie Curtain,
which, curiously. is named from the re-
gion or old manor on which the play
house was erected and not from the
familiar drapery Of the stage, was sit
uated south of Holywell lane, In Moors-
field (modern Gloucester street.. and is
first mentioned in the following year.
1877. shakcspeare's "Romeo and Jul
liet'' was among the. many plays first
acted there. The Theater was moved
away to the Bankside, and the old ma
terials were employed in building the
Globe. Shakespeare's chief theater. IN
1893. The Curtain continucdto be used
as playhouse far into the reign OF
King James. No picture Of either OF
these original theaters has been hand
ed down, and owing TO their position
without the walls none of tile Old maps
represents their precise location.-Lip-

This is the Preparation That is being
Much Talked About,

/ Areporter asked Mr. Dodson, the
same question that HUNDREDS have
asked him in the last few days. Just
tell me precisely, please, Why yincl s
better than cod hYer oil2"
Mr.. Dodson replied in his genial
way, You have given me rather
difficult task. I can explain to you in
few minutes the advantages of Vinol,
but to do it in a half dozen words
would hardly be possible, Perhaps /
can illustrate its value, however, in a
brief manner. Suppose You had never
seen hens egg. A man who knew Of
them should tell you to eat three every
day. J. do not say that you would,
mind you, but l am inclined to be-
lleve at the start you would make an
heroic effort to get away with the
whole thing, she'll and all. The meat
of the egg would be what you needed,
the she'll rather superhuous. In fact,
as a matter of nourlshment not gate
the thing for your stomach.
''lhere you are with cod liver oil

cine known TO be valuable for certain
forms of wasting disease, great re-

almost, as would have been the shell

they were after, were contained in 1t.
Science has stepped in and done ex.
actly what the man with the egg might
have done--fOund a way TO separate
the healthtul interior from the worth
less husk.
Now we have the active medical
principles of the Gods liver. We have
thrown awRy the useless encumbranees
that formerly encloaked it, namely,
the Objectionable fat, We have taken

bile wine, and there you are, Patients
who have needed cod liver oil and
could not take il have no trouble in
taking Vinol. Why, you would enjoy
drinking it yourself, so pleasant is it,
if did not tell you 1t was anything
but mild table VINE. III you needed it,
however, for a medicine, you would
soon find it to be something different.
The medicinal properties of the cod i
liver heal damage done by diseases
that are of a wasting nature, aud the
same principles give strength to the
weakened digestion and enable the
poor sufferers worn out stomach TO d.
gest and obtain nutriment from every

also active disease germ annihilators,

ing One.
ing One,

The Ame icus police commission
bill has at last 2ssed through the
lower house of the Legislature and
will at once go the senate and thence
to the Governor. The bill has had a
checkered course, but when put on its
passage it went through
The bill is considered an import
ant one for AmerIcus,
Tt amends the city charter to the ex-
tent of making members of the police
board hereafter elective by the people.
The board has ever been a self per
petuatlng body.
The bill was favorably recommended
atthe last session but did not get
through, at this session, however,
Representative Hixon championed the
measure and, despite strong opposi-
ton has succeeded in putting it
through the House by a good vote.
Senator Hudson had already put the
measure through the senate. though
being a house biIlit must go tack to
that body for confirmation.
The passage of the bill by the house
Tuesday provoked very lively discus
sion during the greater part of the af-
ternoon session.
This was between Representatives
Hixon and Lane, the latter opposing
the measure.
Personalities, wholly irrelevant,
were INDUCED in aud each member
had strong friends to help them for
and against the bill. Mr.. George of
Morgan, aided Mr., Hixon, while Mr.
Mitchell, of Thomas, aided his friend
Mr. Lane in opposing the bill
Both gentlemen, it Will be remem
bered, were candidates for speaker of
the House, Hixon supporting George
and Lane voting for Mitchell,
It was one of the warmest local fights
that has yet reached the floor of the
house. There may have been some
warmer ones perhaps in committee
rooms, where delegations continue
their local fights.
Representative Hixon won easily,
the vote being 80 to. 35 in favor of his
measure.

INFLUENCE
PROBABLY HAS TRlUMPHED

The indications are that the infiu-
cnce against any but brick paving III
Rock Island has at last finally tri-
umphed and there will be no asphalt
laid ON Twenty-first street, ut least
this year. The city clerk has adver-
tised for bids the required length of
time according to the specifications
contained in the ordinance passed
some time ago for the improvement
of that street from Tenth to Twelfth
avenues, but so far no bids have been
received. In place of the bids, how
ever. a letter has been received from
the representative OF the Barber com
pany stating that that firm will not
bid on the specifications as prepared.
1t viii be remembered that an objec-
ton to the amount of material re-
quired was made at the time the or
dinance was presented, by the repre-
sentatives of the same company.
Now the contention is reiterated that
tire improvement as specified will be
heavy enough for the hardest wear
to which a street is subjected. 1t is
claimed that the sort of pavement
called for will cost $4.40 per from;
foot. while if il were made for light
traffic. as it should be, the work
could be done for rs cents less. The
fault seems to lie entirely with the
manner in which the ordinance was
drawn up. 1t is not ut all likely that
another ordinance will be passed this
fall.
