 Mrs. A. B. Mann, her daugh- ter Bettie and two sons Joel and Charley left last Thursday for Jackson Tenn, where they go in order that the children may enjoy better school facilities. Our friend Harry accompanied them to their destination and returned home to finish up some business. They have rented their farm to Clint James for this year. On last Tuesday, Harry returned to Ann Arbor, Michigan to resume his studies in law. He will soon be a full-fedged lawyer, gradua- ting next Jnne and will probably locate at Memphis, Tenn, to practice his profession. The News wishes Harry abundant success and hopes to see his star in the legal history of the south.
 Some time ago my daughter caught a severe cold. She com plained of pains in her chest and had bad cough. I gave her Chamberlain's Cough Remedy according to directions and in two days she was well and able to go to school. I have used this remedy in my family for the past seven years and have never known it to fail, says James Prendergast, merchant, Annato Bay, Jamica, West India Islands. The pains in the chest indicated an approaching attack of pneu- monia, which in this instance was undoubtedly warded off by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It connteracts any tendency of a cold toward pneumonia. lSold by pr. J. B. Neal of McCfory and A. s. Thompson of DeView

Pietro Mascagni. who is to open the
New York musical season at the Metro
politan opera house on October 8 with
the performance of several of his OPP
eras, is undoubtedly the luckiest of all
composers, with the possible exception
of Felix Mendelssohn, says the New
York Post.
He was only twenty-seven years old
in 1890. when he won the SonZogno prize
with his "Cavalleria Rusticana," which
soon attined popularity out of all
proportion to its meritS-comparabl to
that of the Literary dime novels" which
dreds of thousands. The great vogue of
his tragic operetta," as it has been
aptly called, lasted several years. To-
day in its twelfth year, it requires the
charms of Calve to keep it in our
repertory; but with Mascagni himself
at the helm, 1t may hold its own here
in October, even without Calve. In any
case, it will be interesting to hear the
composers own version of his early
work. though it is not likely tht he will
reveal anything that escaped the atten-
ton of the admirable Mancinelli. The
score is not as deep as an aretsfan weli
some of the six operas which he COM
posed after it, but none of which won a
zeal success.
Mascagni can hardly be pleased with
the way in which the most authorita-
tive and Influential of contemporary
German music historians disposes of
him, and the other young Italians as
already a phenomenon of the past. On
page 739 of his recently published
'Geschichte der Musk seit Beethoven.
DR.. Hugo Riemann refers to Cav
alleriae Rusticana" as IAN operetta
which interprets a dramatically effective
subject with the most approved must
cal means. in coarse strokes. but with
theatric Skill He then speaks briefly
of other members of 1.-the ''veristic''
school :Leoncarailo Fuccini, samara,
Smareglia-and concludes with the re-
mark that, although Puccini, and still
more, Smareglia, far surpass Mascagni
in artistic endowment this operate cpl

ian invasion was decisively repulsed-''

Manager Brady Did Not Want SOC
Bill Posters.

William A. Brady. who is managing
the coming woman's exhibition for the
Professional Woman's 1eague. in New
York. came near costing the league a
pretty penny last week Mr.. Brady
found that he was going to need more
posters to paper the city properly, so
he dispatched the following telegram;
"Strobridge. Cincinnati: Send 600 post
ers at once"
BY "Strobridye," of course, Mr.. Brady
meant the lithographing company of
that name, which is printing the prize
poster for the exhibition. But it turned
ont that there is another Strobridge in
Cincinnati. who conducts an employ
ment bureau. Promptly Mr.. Brady re-
ceived this astonishing reply:

MUST SMELL TO HEAVEN.
A Play Has Been Produced Which
Shocks New Workers.

New York is amazed at the daring
of Arthur w. Pinero, who, in the play
which Virginia Harmed produced in that
city last week, has gone the limit III
outrageous and offensive indecency. If
New York be amazed, the piece must
indeed be bad. But New York's amaze
ment is a small affair beside the de-
plorable fact that American stage NOR
ais are to be pulled down another peg
in the scale through the brilliant genius
of this daring English playwright.
Pinero Is undoubtedly a genius, but his
talents are being used In bad cause.
We have had quite enough of the de-
cadent drama on this side the ocean.
THE Second Mrs. Tanqueray" was bad
enough, the notorious Mrs. Ebbsnith'
was worse, and now they tell US that
Iris" is infinitely worse than either of
these. There is but one remedy against
the invasion of this attempt to discuss
on the stage subjects that well-bred
people will not mention in private; that
is to turn resolutely away from the box
office of the theater. Playwrights, how
ever brilliant and daring. may be
starved out of a disposition to deal in
smut.

into my arms and l seized him and laid
him on the stage.
Barrett had a beautiful pal blue

He didn't know what the matter
