COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

No piece seems to have given more
universal satisfaction as THE Princess
Chic that charming opera comtque
which appears at the Grand tomorrow
night after having won the praise of the
entire country. The beautiful artistic,
Christine Hudson, is the primadonna OF
the company, popular Joseph {. Mirror
and otner members of the organization
being those who shared the original trt-
umph of the piece. The story of The
Princess Chic" is an exceedingly ro-
mantle one, dealing with an epoTh
which has Inspired the pen of MANY
novelist and poet; namely the closing
splendor of feudalism. The locale is the
province of Burgundy; and, among 9th
er historical pefsOnages introduced, ar
King Louis XXI of France, and CharleS
the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. Tie
Princess Chic" herself is, of course.
child of Kirke La Shelle's fanciful i'm
agination. but those critics most famil-
lar with feudal customs claim that she
is a logical product of those days, be-
ing depicted as a beautiful, daring wom-
an and the ruler of the province ad-
joining that of Charles. In the third
act of THE Princess Chic" there is a
song from d prison tower, and in an eff
fort so ambitious that 1t almost attains
the standard of grand opera. Kirke La
Shele has wisely taken care not to
omit the comic element. This is omni-
present throughout the piece.
The announcement of the coming OF
Stetson's production of Uncle Toms
Cabin" to the New Crawford tomorrow
afternoon will be pleasant news to many
amusement goers. The floating ice
scene on the Ohio river. st. Glars plan
tation with house and garden by moon
light and the cotton fields beyond. and
the Transformation scene at the end Of
the last act are among the best. The
matinee prices viii be 10 cents for chill
dren and 25 cents for others, and 10, 20
80 and so cents at night.
The author who wrote Sol Smith Rus
sells "A Poor Relation" is also the
author of "A Jolly American Tramp"
which comes to New Crawford Saturday
afternoon and night. Scenes and Incl
dents of life il New England village
with its heart aches and heart breaks,
as well as the ludicrous side of life, will
be shown.
Ezra KendalTs attitude toward the
public is frankly that of an entertainer
called an artist or legitimate come
dian. AS he himself says, he is an ac-
cident that is, he became an actor by
accident and it is due to this accident
that he will be at the New Crawford
Monday night in his new license for
laughter, THE Vinegar Buyer It is
said that there are few shows on tha
road that move the auditors to more
hearty and continuous laughter than
Mr.. Kendall's latest play The effect
is gained almost wholly by the clever
dialogue which bristles with quaint and
kindly humor, sparkles with new Jokes.
The advance sale starts tomorrow morn
ing at o'clock, numbers being given

HUGE OIL PROFITS.
Standard Shows $40, 100000
Dividends in Last Year.

New York, Nov. 20.-Standard Oil com
pany's directors have declared a quarterly
dividend of 10 per cent. or $4,000 co., max
ing a yearly dividend distribution of SIS
100000 on the capital of s1000O0,O00 This
compares with s4S 100000 in each of the
last two years. S33, 900, 600 in 1899 $50 O00, 600
in 1898, $3S 900 in 1897 $31 600 600 in 1896
and $12,0OOOO0 in each year from 1895 to
1891 inclusive.
This dividend declaration makes the
total profit distribution in ten years equal
to 304 per cent or 1904, 600. 900 on a capital
stock of S100,000000, and leaves as a re
mainder the profit distribution of $4,000
600 in 1891 and in 1892 as a payment equal
to the probable value of the property
then.
In other words, according to this reckon
ing. Standard Oil stockholders got all
their actual capital back ten years ago,
alent of more than 100 per cent year on
its actual worth.
The dividend record of the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey, which is the sue
cessor of the Standard Oil Trust stands
alone. No comparative figures can be
made. The United States Steel Corpora
ton distributes each year, according to
its present rate of dividends, half again
as much, but its capitalization, including
bonds, is fourteen and one-half times that
of the Oil Trust
Last year, at this time, the Standard Oil
company distributed only IS 100000 making
total of s4s, 100000 for 1901 against only
S45, 1000 600 this year. Why it did not dis
tribute s12.O00.ooO or s1oo,00o,0o0 this year is
not known, as no report of earnings is
made. and no data concerning the earn
ings is available to inquirers-
The stock of the company was not af-
fected perceptiby by the dividend declara-
tion. It rose from 500 to $675 a share, and
seventy shares changed hands. On this
basis the market value of the 800 000,0 900
share capital is equal to s675 900, 600 and,
although no figures are obtained, it is the
impression in Wall street that the Rookie
Teller family owns only a little less than
half of the shares
On the basis of Wall street opinion the
Rockefeller family, therefore, receives in
dividends only a little less than s2O,0O0,000
a year.

HUNTERS RETURN.
They Say Railroad Employees Took
Half Their Game.

Detroit, Nov 20-The Windsor hunt
ers who went to the wilds of Muskoka
in search of deer have returned home,
each with his quota of deer to show for

joyable time.
The hunters make a complaint against
the railway employees. whom they accuse
Of purloining game shipped as baggage

when he opened the basket at Windsor

A Weak
Stomach

Indigestion is often caused by over
eating An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use Of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don't over
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need a good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food with
out the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics KOdol contains
SOON restore health. Dieting unneces-
sary. Kodol quickly relieves the feel
ing of fitness and bloating from
which some people suffer after meals.
