And the pinger and the ponger,
In Ping Pong garments gowned.
May ping their little rackets
And pong the balls around.
And talk about Ping ponging

Until they have them cussing

SAN TOY.

''San Toy" with its bright musi
cal numbe catchy songs and the
grateful dances, will be the poteut
attraction at the Opera House on
Saturday night January 1lth, COM
ing almost dire :tly from its long run
at Daley's Theatre, New York
where it nightly tested the capac.
ity of that playhouse, playgoers will
have the advantage Of seeing the
magnificent productieu with it
wealth of scenery aud costumes in
all Of it's original grandeur. The
production here will be in the same
elaborate manner as it was pro-
duced at Days Theatre, that
made the musical comedy so popu-
lar iu that city. 'San Toy is un-
questionably the best musica al conf
edy we have had in years. Its
many songs have been most popu-
lar and they are doubly interest
ing, for apart from being amusing
they have clever stories. That in
imita Bile comedian, Samuel Collins,
has splendid role as the Mandar-
ms private secretary, and it is a
character that he manages to ex
tract untold fun iron. Among the
others in the big cast are Paula
Edwards who has danced and sung
herself into great favor.

|ANTIT0XlN
CURED L0CKJAW

Trenton, N. j. January. William
Chumar, of this city, is the snbject of
considerable attention from the medi-
cal profession at this time, because OF
the fact that he has been cured of
lockjaw in the st. Francis Hospital
here.
About three weeks ago while assist
ing in the moving of piano his fin
ger was badly laceratad. The usual
home remedies were applied. but lock-
jaw set in. The treatment given
Chumar by DR.. Martin Reddan, of
the hospital staff, was explained by
him as follows:
The patient was given sixty cent?
meters of tetanls antitoxin, fifteen
centimeters at an injection. The
seaum was injected in the thick mus
cIes of the back by the aid of a large
antitoxin syringe. There was an i'm
provement within two days. the
patient being gradually freed from
the awful cramp.
The theory of this treatment is
based on tetanus being agerm disease
and the serum killing the germ.
II believe the patient will untimc-
ly recover. There have peen used in
this treatment, which is absolutely
new. two vials Of antitoXin serum, at
a cost of SO a vial. st. Francis Hos
ptal has had three cases of tctanuS
within two years, two recovered and
one died. In the case of the one death

Rabies Are i}uncoe1.

Chicago, January 2.-According
to the State Legislature, every
baby born in Cook county begin
ming with to-day, is worth twenty
five cents, but the babies will not
get it, for the present at least. The
Board of County Commissioners
blocks the payments. The law be-
came operative to-day; but it went
i,ttn effect only ina nominal sense
because Of lack OF money ill the
county treasury.
County Clerk Knopf and the
State Board of Health have just
emerged from a tilt over the ques-
ton Of issuing the necessary certi-
ticate blanks for recording the
births reported. The board ordered
Knopf to provide the certificates,
which he refused to do on the
ground that the law made no such
requirement. As Il result there were
no blanks when the law, went into
effect to-day.

ALBANY, Jan. .. - Senator Stran-
allan, WHO is to be the next collector of
the port of New York. has introduced
bill proposing stamp tax of one
half of l per cent Oh mortgages. The
bill follows the recommendation of
Governor Odell in his message and, ac-
cording to Speaker Nixon, who strong
ly indorsed it IN his opening speech in
the assembly, will add S3,O0o,0Oo to the
revenues of the state.
The bill provides that the state comp
troller issue the stamp. to officials who
have charge of tn" recording Of mort
cages and provides that the stamps
must be affixed to all mortgages when
they are filed. All other forms of tax
alton on mortgages which are now as
sessed as real estate are to be abolish
ed.
The stamp tax the governor and his
advisers think, will meet all objections,
