or saved, IT escaped the notice Of Man
ager CLARK, OF the New City Steam
laundry. Sat urday evening, when
the Pittsburg was here, a gentleman
called at the laundry and left ten
shirts, eighteen collars and some cuffs
and other laundry. lie did not say
where his home was. but informed
Manager CLARK that he would call for
the laundry when the boat returned to
Padueah after her trip to Memphis.

how to spell it, and spelled it as
above.

nothing has been heard from il. Let
tiers have been received in regard to

scene OF the wreck. to remain until

IMPROVED ON NATURE.
The Case of Crooked Leg Which Was successfulIy Handled by
 William Mckinley.

A year or two after William Mckinley had begun the practice of law at Canton, D., he distinguished himself in humorous fashion in one of his first successful cases. As often happens in court, the humor was not merely for the sake of the joke, but for serious purpose Mir Edward T. Roe, in The Life Work of William Mckinley" tells the story
 The case was a suit against a surgeon, whom the plaintiff charged with having set his leg so badly that it was bowed Me Kinley defended the surgeon, and found himself pitted against John McSweeney, one of the most brilliant lawyers of the Ohio bar
 McSweeney brought his client into court, and had him expose the injured limb to the jury It was very crooked, and the case looked bad for the surgeon. But Mckinley had both his eyes open, as usual, and fixed them keenly on the mans other leg
 As soon as the plaintiff was turned over to him, he asked that the other leg should also be barred The plaintiff and Me Sweeney objected vigorously, but the judge ordered 1t done. Then 1t appeared that his second leg was still more crooked than that which the surgeon had set.
 My client seems to have done better by this man than nature itself did, said Me Kinley, "and l move that the suit be dis missed, with a recommendation to the plaintiff that he have the other leg broken and then. set by the surgeon who set the first one"

MAXINE ELLIOT AND NAT
 GOODWIN IN A NEW PLAY
1.-THE ALTAR OF FRIENDSHIP" IS A CLEAN AND
 CLEVER PRODUCTION THAT IS WELL LIKED

hicago.-There is no handsomer woman on the stage than Maxine Elliot. There is no better player of comedy than Nat Goodwin. And yet this seems hardly fair to Maxine El- liot, who, as time goes on, loses none of her beauty, but does become more and more distinguished for some thing else than beauty. Last evening as we watched her in the play, we almost forgot her beauty, so charmed were we with her artistic rendering of her part.
 "The Altar of Friendship" is a so- ciety affair, the time the present, the country England. Mir. Goodwin and his charming wife Maxine Elliot have spent so much time on the other side that their ha'pennies and other En-
 The cast is a very good one, as a whole remarkably good. The dra- maffs personae consists of ten men, five women and a dog, the latter we'll drilled in his part. There is the hero, Richard Arbuthnot (Nat Goodwin, of course), a London literary worker; his friend and sharer of his chambers, Arnold Winnifrith, engaged to Rich ards sister; Lord Algernon Flexmore, a sweet, smooth-faced, red-cheeked chappie; Col Sartoris, an American, father of a beautiful daughter; Jo- seph Primer, an eN-convict, and mem Der of the class that drop thair h's; Mir. Spender, by profession a society man, by occupation a professional gambler; Edward Beech Horton, an aesthete put in to fill in; the Bishop of Wereford, uncle to Arnold; Gib- son and Marner, servants; Sally Sar- toris, the heroine (Maxine Elliot of course); Florence Arbuthnot, Rich ards sister before mentioned; Lady Chalmers, a fashionable elderly dame
Newport daily independent., 1902-11-26

woman. Arbuthnot stands there and takes all the outraged fathers wrath upon himself, takes it for the sake of the sister but just bound in marriage to the fellow before him. He listens in silence to the crimes laid upon him, who really had been Mary's ben efactor whilst her father was sery- ing his term in prison, and lets Ar mold go free; but he gives him mo- tice that if ever the time comes when it seems necessary that the truth be known he will demand that Arnold tell the truth.
 The bride and groom go off on their honeymoon, the bride an innocent, trusting young thing. While they are gone the scandal about Arbuth- not and Mary grows, it is whispered far and wide, and, of course, comes to Sally's ears. Sally had begun to be very fond of her pro-tem fiance, and is slow to believe the story She asks Richard at last, and, although he does not like her lack of faith in him, he decides the time has come to have his name cleared. In the meantime Mary comes to Lady Chalmers coun' trv house, where all are staying, anc after an interview with Richard, II which he begs her to tell the trutf and she refuses, she is discovered by Sally. Sally questions her; the girl confused and unhappy half tells hel s+or1, and tells it in such a way tha' poor Dick is still further incriml mated.
 Sally is forced to believe the worst and rails at mems sins in general ant poor Dicks in particular, to Dick face. She returns the play-engage ment ring, and the curtain goes dowl on Arbuthnot sitting alone in th' room, the ring in his hand, lonely pathetic figure. .
 The last act clears things up TO most of the people, but shows poo Flo the stuff of which her lord an' master is made. She, however, ha taken him for better or worse an' promises not to forsake him. Sali' comes to Dick and makes a handsom apology. and allows him to put tn ring back on her finger and encour ages him to go on talking about coa scuttles and carpets.
 THE AsTECLoGER

Dick. Col. SartOris at once jumps to the conclusion that he is none other than the Dick before him, and with ardor receives him in the role of Sal lys fiance.
 Imagine the situation. The young people are given no chance to ex- plain, the father is all smiles and complacence, and wants to tell ev- erybody at once. They bind him to secrecy, and agree together to pre- tend an engagement until someone can be found to take Dicks place.
 The pretending grows very inter esting, the play at lovemaking is pretty and clever, and all the time we know each is in love with the other.
 They talk of the carpets they will buy, the coal scuttles, the kind of windows they will have, and all the time they pretend to be looking out for the other fellow. Presently, on the night of Flo's wedding, very soon after the ceremony. the play at love- making and domestic preparations is interrupted in a tragic manner, and thereafter the atmosphere is murky for considerable time. Joseph Pin ner thrusts his way into the house and demands an interview with the bridegroom. Arnold and Arbuthnot, who LID to this time had suspected nothing of the formers relations with Mary Primer, receive him in room apart from the guests.
 Joseph, who has intercepted let ter containing a check from Arnold, but which is made out in Arbuthnot's name, comes to face the man he be- lieves has wronged his unprotected girl, and to warn him that if he at- tempts to marry another women he will do him violence. He does not in- sist on the man marrying his Mary, but swears he shall marry no other

The Blood.

The blood is life. Wederive from the blood life, power, beauty and reason, as the doc tors have been saying from time immemo- rial A healthy body, fresh appearance, and generally all the abilities we possess depend on that source of life. It is, there fore, the duty of every sensible man to keep the blood as pure and normal as pos sible. Nature, in it's infinite wisdom, has given us a thermometer indicating the state of the blood, which appeals to our reason by giving notice of it's impurity. Small erup- tions of the skin, to which we scarcely pay any attention, headache, ringing noises in the ears, lassitude, sleeplessness, are gen erally a sign that the blood is not in nor nal state, but is filled with noxious sub stances. These symptoms deserve our full attention. If more attention were paid to these symptoms and steps taken to remove them, then many illnesses from which we suffer would become unknown, and the hu- man body would become stronger and health fer. Attention, therefore, should be paid to those warning signs, and the blood can be purified and poisonous substances re moved from it by the use of Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Drops, discovered more than 60 years ago.

with a distaste for responsibility; Mary Primer, daughter of Joseph Pin ner and secretary to Richard; Mrs. Beech Horton, also put in to fill in; Louis Philippe, the dog, as ugly look ing beast as ever was pampered and worshiped.
 In the first scene we see the secre- tary at her typewriter, meek, sad faced little thing. We learn that she aQd Arnold have had some sweet hearting in the past, but that, to- morrow being his wedding day, all that must end. Arnold extracts a solemn promise from Mary that she will never disclose anything concern ing their past intimacy. Richard, Florence and Sally, too take part in the first scene, and talk of the com ing wedding as folk do when such an event is imminent. Richard is pre- pairing for the bachelor supper, and in the intervals of preparation lis tens to condolences from Sally, a cousin and lifelong friend of his. 1t seems that Miss Sally has reached the advanced age of 2S, and that her father is getting very anxious to have her married off, has sworn if she passes another season without be- coming engaged he will cut her off with a paltry sum. In desperation she has written him that she is en. gagged, and now he is hastening to join her and meet her betrothed. What is she to do? She turns to Richard for advice.
 He promises to help her obtain q victim before the fatal day in June that has been set by the impatient father as the limit, and they chatfel awhile as to what name to call the Imaginary betrothed when her father shall appear on the scene and ask fo1 ms prospective son-in-law. He looks through memorandum book at 6 list of acquaintances, and they de- eide that none of them exactly suits After considerable funning he sug gests that Mrs. Richard Turpir sounds pretty we'll, and they agree on that. At this moment enters the father, eager for word concerning the to-be bridegroom. Not having time for secopd thought Arbuthnot tells him the name of the man ii
