Richard Mansfield.

The appearance of Richard Mansfield as Beaucaire brings not only the great est living dramatic artist but remark able man whose genius would have led him to almost equal eminence in half a dozen other walks of life. He Is an ac- complished musician and plays the vio- lin or the pianoforte with ability, impro- vising. most delightfully."-. His paintings displays the same breadth of imagination which illumines his dramatic creations. Grand opera would have been enriched by him for he not only has great sing ing voice but it is benefited by the cul- tivation of one of the greatest singers and teachers who ever lived, his own moth CT. Mansfield writes prose and verse plays or essays. fancies for children or philipics for men, with ability which astonishes those. familiar with his other attainments. He has cultivated his en- dowments with no concession to pose or affectation.

As the winters balls mirror the latest ides in fashions feminine they are like wise the reflection of what is newest and most authorit ative attire for men, says a writer in the Philadelphia Times.
 Tn styles of women's gowns, wraps and hats, the variations from season to sea- son are ceaseless in colors, fabrics and in general design. Changes in mems dress are more particularly concerned with, de- tails, but it Is his recognition of these that marks the well-dressed man.
 For example. last evening, men wore the dress suit of traditional type and of con ventional black. We have had much talk to and fro about King Edward and his velvet cuffs. Philadelphia men have been wearing English rain coats with cuffs this season, but last evening brought out dress coats with cuffs. The fashionably- approved coat thus embelished had a loose. turned-up cuff about two and a quarter inches wide, rounded at the back, with four buttons and real buttonholes set in the opening.
 It was in the selection of the waist coat that individuality of taste found ex- pressiol
 Fashionably- waistcoats were Of pique in diamond, corded and hopsack
 
 men, who prefer to lead rather than fol- low the styles. favored flower piques, mercerized fancy fabrics and silks. Small flowers and leaf motifs with sinuous lines and graceful scroll work intermingled, beautifed the mercerized fabrics, some of which look like silk. Silk itself was used for waistcoats, and he who, last ev- ening. buttoned around his manly form creation from one of the exquisitely evolved beautiful fancy silks handmade | by the weavers of Spitalfields, London, where silks have been produced which have long been the admiration of the world, at once pronounced himself of a l taste, exclusive and elegant.
 From observation at the Charity Ball | one may conclude that silks ranging | from the heavy corded white to fancy weaves are approved. Sometimes sug- | gestion of color was introduced. Follow 1 ing the example of the Beau Brummel, last evening" heavy white silk in basket weave embellished with tiny dots in mauve or a white silk brocaded with a graceful leaf design with a suggestion of delicate blue in the background, is of l fashionable elegance.
 As to shape. the guards waistcoat was the most fashionable type, opening in an other part of the waistcoat, and when single-breasted being completed with long cutaway points in front and immita- tion flaps on the pockets The single breasted waistcoat fastened with three buttons set rather closely together. The double-breasted waistcoat was finished

EVENING FASHIONS
 IN VOGUE FOR MEN

with six buttons which converged, the fronts were well pointed, and in this the pockets appeared in the guise Of plain welt The buttons were a noticeable req ture of fashionable .waistcoats last ev- ening. They were of striking variety. One saw white enamelled buttons with fiat and with cabochon top, gilt buttons and even the gun metal button was ex- plotted.
 In New York waistcoat buttons set with colored stones. the turquoise, jade, opal topaz and carbuncle, have been seen, but last evening proved that Phiia- delphia men, conservative in their taste still cling to white studs, uurr links, tnF necktie holder and the waistcoat buttons constituted the jewelry which appeared upon the person of the leaders of mas culine modes.
 From observation during the evening, we may conclude that studs of Oriental pearl are elegant and exclusive. Mother of-pearl was also used, and there were some moonstones in evidence, the gem being carried throughout the entire jew eled accessories of attire.
 Cuff links were of mother-of pearl, white enamel or moonstone. Links were seen of pearl mounted with small dia- monds set in platinum, to represent the thread of the regular button, or dia- mond trefoil; or a single stone shimmered in the center of the aval piece of mother of-pearl.
 In place of the small pearl stick-pin formerly used to keep the necktie in posi- ton. the necktie holder, generally mount ed with an Oriental pearl, was worn.
 As to the neekwear itself. many men who are recognized as possessed of ex- cellent taste in dress wore ties of thin white pique with an almost invisible tiny cord or check. These were finished with wide square ends which looked about one and half inches wide, and were of the bat-wing variety, making a bow with wide ends and narrow center. They were of very different aspect from the old fashioned, narrow, plain white cambric tie, straight all around that used to be seen at Charity Balls. Even when cam bric was adopted last night, it was gen orally made up in the modernized bat wing form.
 In gloves it was noticeable tha. many men preferred hand apparel which in as- pect-weight and general finish-closely resembled the gloves worn in the street They were of heavy kid, white merging into pear, pique-sewn seams, and heavy welt back, fastening with one large pearl button. The favor with which this glove was regarded last night is attributed in large measure to the fact that it does not become so readily stained with per- spiration, an important item when 1t is remembered that the hand encased within it is destined to come In contact with gowns light in color and delicate in text ure.

IGNORE M'kINLEY FUND.
Georgia Ministers Fail to Take Up
 Collection In Churches.

Atlanta, January 27.-Dispatches to the Associated Press today from the principal cities in Georgia indicate that Governor Candler's suggestion that the churches take up a collection yesterday for the benefit of the Mckinley national me- morial fund was not followed. In Atlanta no collection was taken in any church nor was reference made to the matter by the ministers.
 Secretary Edward Cruselle of the Me- morial Association admitted today that the returns were disappointing. He had received no advices regarding the collec- tion from any city in the State, although the Governors suggestion had been sent everywhere Mir. Cruselle said he hoped for better returns later from the State organization which had only recently been completed.

A GOOD CHANGE.
A Change of Food Works Wonders


 The wrong food and drink cause a lot of trouble in this world. To change the food is the first duty of every person that is i'll, particularly from stomach and nervous troubles. As an illustrations A lady in Hickmon Mills, Mo-. has. with her husband, been brought around to health again by leaving off coffee and some articles of food that did not agree with them. They began using Postum Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food.
 She says. For a number of years I suffered with stomach and bowel trouble which kept getting worse until I was very i'll most of the time. About four years ago I left off coffee and began taking Postum. My stomach and bowels improved right along, but I was so re- duced in flesh and so nervous that the least thing would overcome me.
 Then I changed my food and began using Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food in ad- dition to my Postum Coffee. l lived on these two principally for about four months. Day by day l gained in flesh and strength until now the nervous trou- ble has entirely disappeared and I feel that owe my life and health to Postum and Grape-Nuts.
 Husband is B years old and he was troubled. for long time. with occasional cramps, and slept badly. Finally I pre- vailed upon him to leave off coffee and take Postum. He stood out for a long time. but after he tried Postum for a few days he found that he could sleep and that his cramps disappeared. He was satisfied and has never had coffee since.
 I have brother in California who has been using Postum for several years; his whole family use 1t also because they hA.- had auch good results from it"

SOUL IS NOT IMMORTAL.
pr. Parkhurst Disputes the We'll Known Presbyterian Doctrine.

New York, January 27-In a sermon on Immortality the Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst in the Madison Square Presby- teriar Church. declared against the pop ular evangelical belief that all souls are immortal
 He explicitly gave it as his opinion that the Scriptures do not teach immu- nity of a soul from death, and that the soul must be taken care of in this life else it will perish utterly. either at the death of the body or after a longer or shorter period of the life beyond the grave. Dr. Parkhurst said in part:
 'There is nothing in Scripture anywhere that encourages us to feel that a soul can be kept from dying any more than . body unless it is taken care of. There ie no warrant from the Bible or from na- ture for ''supposing that the soul carries within itself a policy of insurance against its own eventual obliteration."
 The sermon is attracting some atten- tion. owing to the fact that the Presby- terians adhere to the belief in the doc Urine of the immortality of the soul.

Tonight at the Jefferson Theatre Ethel Barrymore will be seen for the first time in Birmingham. For one so young the success that Miss Barrymore has achieved has been little less than re- markable. The New Orleans Times-Dem- ocrat of last Friday said:

It is with the best class of theatre-goers that Captain links and Miss Barrymore's acting find the great est favor. The same bill will be given for the remainder of the week."

As to a Man's Gloves.


 How much do you spend in year for gloves?' repeated a dealer in mems furnishing goods. Well. that depends.
 "A man of ample means who had no need to count the cost and at the same time gave careful attention to dress, good many gloves. He buys gloves suit able for every occasion and use and for every season. Of some gloves he may buy dozen or half dozen pairs at time. fSt-t --t
 Some men never wear a pair of gloves more than two weeks, and of course it might easily be that some times man could wear a pair of gloves but once, as in the case of white kid gloves when worn in summer. ,s3
 For ordinary purposes a man with abundant means and careful as to his at tire would wear in summer a glove of heavy Cape goat, light tan in color. In some circumstances actually worn, these gloves would more commonly be carried in the hand; and four or five pairs. cost ing s2.50 a pair. would last him through the summer. las
 At this season he wears a dress suit less commonly, and so requires fewer white gloves; and thus, though he should be able to wear a pair but once, he may get through the summer with dozen pairs of white kid, stitched with white or with black, at s25O pair.
 'In summer he win buy, for driving, gloves with tan lisle thread backs and tan kid face, three or four paids at s2 50 a pair This would about complete the list of gloves required for ordinary sum- mer uses.
 With the first touch of coolness in the air in the fall he would begin steadily to wear gloves such as he had carried through the summer and thus wearing them. he would now require a greater number; in the course of the winter sea- son twelve pairs of Cape goat. at s2.5o.
 Some men wear always the same kind of gloves and then there are men who like little variety and who buys also. in the course of a season, perhaps three pairs of gloves of grey reindeer, costing S4 pair.
 For driving in the colder season, the man of ample means wears. in the fall, grip driving gloves. of heavy dogslin, two or three pairs he uses, at s a pair. For winter driving he may wear fur-lined reindeer gloves. in which case he would be likely to use two pairs at $9 a pair. Or he might buy fur gauntlets, of which there are various kinds. ranging in price from $10 to S20
 If he wore gauntlets he would be like ly to use but a single pair in season. this being the only sort of glove of which he uses so small number. If you were to set down the cost of his fur driving gloves at $15-yo would be putting it at very reasonable figure.
 For riding he would wear the gloves

But this man who knows and breaches the danger of neglect in the loss of nail from a horses shoe goes right along neglecting symptoms which in scores and hundreds of cases are fore-runners of physical breakdown.
 poNorHING DOCTRINE.
 That's the doctrine of great many indolent people. They say 'it will go away after a bitn when cautioned to odo something" for their ailment. Just imagine farmer looking over the fence at the sprouting weeds in his corn and :i saying 0they'll go away after bit.' Diseases are like weeds. All they ask is neglect and they will grow and four ish. Neglect the first symptoms of dis ease of the stomach and it will not be long before other organs are involved, because every organ of the body is de pendent on the stomach and its allied organs for nutrition. When the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutri- ton are diseased the food eaten is not perfectly digested and assir1ilated. Hence there is loss of nutrition by the body; loss which shows itself in loss of flesh, and reduced weight, and that Joss of nutrition is shared by every organ of the body, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. As consequence when the stom- ach is diseased, the heart is liable to be involved. or the lungs, kidneys or liver, These facts emphasize she danger of neglect of what is popularly termed ~stomach trouble.9
