FOR BABY'S SHIN
SCALP And HAIR

Something for Mothers to Think About
EVERY CHILD born into the world with an inherited
or early developed tendency to distressing, ~disfiguring
humours Of the skin, scalp, and blood, becomes an object
Of the most tender ~soEcitude, not only because Of its s1-
ferins bot because Of the dreadful fear that the ~dsfigura-
ton Is to be lifelong and mar its future happiness and
prosperity. Hence 1t becomes the duty Of mothers Of
such afflicted children to acquaint themselves with the
best, the purest, and most effective treatment available,
viz, THE CUTICURA TREATMENT.
Warm baths with CUTIoURA SOAP, to cleanse the skin Of cruts and scales
and soften the thickened cuhcle, gentle anohhugs with CUTIcURA ONT
MENr, to Instantly alay itching, irritation, and Inflammation, and soothe and
heal, to be followed In the severer cases by mild doses of CUTIcURA REsoL-
VENT PILLS (se below, to cool and cleanse the blood, are all that can be
desired for the alienation of the suffering Of skintortured infants and
children and the comfort of wornout, worried mothers. A single set cost
ing Sl.OOs often sufficient to cure when the best physicians fall.

Frederick Trenor Hill in his latest novel,
"The Minority" deals with modern bus
mess men and their methods. The story
opens "a the machine factory Of John Ken
nard's Sons. John Kennard Sd, grandson
of the original founder, is in sole charge.
He is about S5 years Of age and has made
a remarkable success of the business. Ken
nard meets a modern promoter by the
name OF Harlan, who is engaged in floating
a great trust of all the machine companies
and who needs the cooperation Of Kennar
to complete his work. The story deals
with the methods used by Harlan to induce
Kennard to become a party to the trust.
The love interest Of the story is brought
about through Kennard falling in love with
Harlarn's daughter, who, learning Of her
fathers scheming against Kennard, attends
an important meeting Of stockholders, dis
putting her fathers authority, and succeeds
in turning everything in Remarks favor.
Vivid descriptions are given of the horse
show; Of the Grand Central depot on a wet
day, of the little church around the-eorner,
Of the charity ball, of Fifth avenues Sun
day parade, Of Broadway at the high tide
OF trahic, OF the six-o'clock home rush, of
the crush at the bridge and other charac-
t~eristic scenes in the city OF New York.

The Century Magazine is about to print
a serial which will have an especial inter-
est to people who are at home on the
prairies. 1t Is called THE Biography of
a Prairie Girl" and the author is Eleanor
Gates. a young woman who spent her child
hood In Dakota and who thus writes from
the closest personal observation. The
time of Miss Gates story is about twenty
i've years ago; 1t is put in the form of a
personal narrative OF the life OF a little
girl and there Is hardly a phase or event
Of prairie life which is not touched upon
in these pages-the blizzard, breaking
colts, horse stealing by Indians, school
days on the frontier. fighting gophers and
badgers, cattle raising and other typical
phases Of hardship or prosperity. 1t is
not a novel, but the same characters APP
pear and reappear in the story with a
reality which impresses the reader with
confidence In the truth of the narrative.
THE Biography Of a Prairie Girl will
begin in the August number Of The Century
and It will be illustrated.

Told by the Deaths Head" by Maurus
Jokai, is certainly a story of a riotous i'm
agination II there ever was one. Yet II
draws and keeps the attention from begin
ming to end. The author in the preface ac-
counts for the story by once seeing a skull
enclosed In a casket bearing the burden
Of twenty-one mortal slns-the seven orig
inal trebled." He asks, What II the
skull could defend ~itself7" and relates
what was told him by the deaths head in
the form OF a very romantic story.
The scene OF Told by the Deaths Head
Is laid in Coblentz. 1858. when the French
were boInbarding the fortress. The Ger
mans had in their ranks an artillerist,
Hugo, whose business It was TO hurl shell,
bombs and frepots at the enemy. Hugo is
found to be a traitor. He is stretched on
the rack and makes an exceedingly long
confession OF twenty-five crimes. He tells
with great glee of the innumerable charac-
tiers he has assumed. He has been a
scoundrel in Europe, Asia and Africa.
Finally he is condemned to be shot, and
with his execution the story concludes,

Military Drama Well Presented by
Ellsworth Cast.

Military Drama Well Presented by
Ellsworth Cast.
The military drama ''rhe Spy of Gettys-
burg" was presented at Hancock hall last
Wednesday evening, by an Ellsworth cast.
The entertainment was given under the
auspices OF the Village improvement
society, with the able management OF
Fred e. Cooke, OF Ellsworth. who Ia at
home from the professional stage for the
summer. The excellent work of the local
cast after only two weeks rehearsal under
MIR. Cookies direction, reflects credit on
his work.
The play moves quickly, and there are
many thrilling situations. 1t went off
with snap and vigor that were far from
amateurish. The cast of characters was as
follows:
Major Timothy Tapley .-....... Henry Campbell
Uncle Moses Mulyey ..-...... Waiter Clark, jr
Cyril Blackburn. Harry L Crabtree
Capt Warren. George r Caldwell
Jemson........e......... 7 Cutler. Jr
Lottic Evans. Mrs Mae Friend sealander
Mrs Moses Mulvey.. Mrs p Cutler. jr
w. F. Aiken, as "Harry Lenox", the
spy, and Harry l.. Crabtree, as "Cyril
Blackburn, had the leading male parts,
which they sustained well Henry Camp
bell, as "Major Tapley'', and Walter j.
Clark, jr., as "Moses Mulvey", gave the
touch OF humor to the play, and both were
popular with the audience. Mr.. Cooke,
Charles p. Halpin, n. P. Cutler, jr., and
George r. Caldwell had smaller male parts,
which were well filed. Appreciation of
Mr.. Cookies work in preparing the play
was manifested by liberal applause on his
few appearances.
Miss Rubie McGown, as "Mahel Mere
dith", had the leading female role, and did
excellent work. Mrs. Sealander and Mrs.
Cutler filed their roles with charming
grace.
After the play there was a social dance,
music being furnished by four pieces OF
Monsghan's orchestra.

CHICAGO BUTCHERS WIN.
Packing Houses Comply with Their
Demands and Reinstate Men.

strike tomorrow of all the allied
unions employed by the different meat
packing concerns was averted tonight
by the stock yards company surren-
dering to the stock yards employees
unions. All the deI.-inds of the union
We're granted and the cattle drivers
who We're recently discharged after
forming 4 union will return TO work
tomorrow.
The settlement was brought about
by Michael Donnelly. president of the
organization. Mr.. Donnelly had held
several conferences with officers of the
company in an effort to adjust the dis
pute. and as last resort had notified
the company that unless the men
should be reinstated at once all the
employees at the Union Stock Yards
would be called out.
The company's surrender came as a
great surprise to the men. and there
was general rejoicing that one of the
strikes contemplated in Chicago had
been avoided.
