ADJUSTMENTS.
Fields MinstreIs.

Among the men who have been suc- cessful amusement purveyors before the American people during the past decade, few stand higher than Al. c. Field, own CT and manager of what are known as the Greater Minstres. Starting at the foot of the ladder, MT. Field has toiled onward and upward. always giving the people value received and fulfilling every promise. This record has enhanced his popularity so that today he is in the very front line of American managers and owners whose growth in public es- teem has been unusual.
 Eighteen years ago Field organized the minstrel party bearing his name At first 1t was q most unpretentious affair but it was backed by an indomitable purpose and a desire to treat the public fairly. The company contained some of the best people in their lines, and the organiza- tion was a success from the start.
 Courage, energy and integrity have been the foundation stones of the struc- ture, and a thorough knowledge of the peoples wants have contributed to the grand result.
 The probabilities are that tomorrow matinee and night at the Jefferson will find the house well crowded.

REFUSED LIFE INSURANCE.
Over Half the Men and Women Who Apply for Life Insurance Are Re- jected Because of Kidney
 Disease.
Safe Cure Cures Kidney Troubles.

Dr. s. J. Reade. one of the leading doc tors of Buffalo. N. T., who for a great many years has been examining appl cants for life insurance, gives 1t as his opinion that more people are refused life insurance because of kidney troubles than for all other causes combined, and that more people are troubled with weak and imperfect kidneys than with all other diseases.
 The doctor says that when he rejects an applicant for insurance because of kidney trouble he invariably prescribes Safe Cure, and that thousands who have once been refused return after taking Safe Cure completely scured and are ac- cepted
 The pecularty of kidney disease is that 1t may lurk in ones system for months without any outward symptom that is easily recognized as kidney trou- ole.
 The disease is so prevalent and works along so steathily toward fatal stages that it's the duty of every man and woman who values health to test his kidneys every two or three months. It is simple matter, and can be done at home by any one.
 Let some morning urine stand in glass for "A hours, and if al the end of that time It is at all cloudy, or ir parti- cles are floating about in it, or if red dish brown, bricl<-dust like sediment has , formed, your kidneys are diseased and there is not a moment to lose. You should begin at once to take Warmers Safe Cure, which is absolutely the only complete, permanent and safe cure for all diseases of the kidneys, liver blad der and blood.

 Safe Cure is made of pure herbs and contains no dangerous drugs This is the reason doctors and hospitals use it exclusively for kidney troubles.

Odd Cure for Whooping Cough.

From -he Boston Transcript
 Hoop Brothers, who own a Touring mill at Zanesyille, O., were asked by phone if they used buhrstones in grinding their grain. They replied in the affirmative. Shortly after a richly gowned woman ap- peared and said she had telephoned. With her was a baby boy aged about three months. She offered the explanation of her visit by stating that an aged woman friend had told her that if an infant child was placed in a hopper beneath which buhrstone was running for few minutes the child would never have the whooping cough
 The mother and babe were ushered to a hopper almost full of corn, beneath which a buhrstone was grinding away and. re- gardess of the dust and dirt that was ris- ing. lifted her baby over the side of the hopper and sat the little tot in upon the corn. For a few minutes the baby sat there and cooed and crooned in glee dip- ping its fingers in the corn and letting the grain tricke between it's chubby fin- gers with apparent satisfaction Then the mother rescued her baby from it's playground, entered her carriage and drove away.

THE NEWS FROM LONDON Lifting the Cup No Longer in England Contest for Sport
 But lest to Prove Prestige Sea-lmporance Victory.
BY HENRY Q EvEREAux.

London, September 19.-Do not for moment believe the defeat Of Sir Thomas Lipton "to lift the cup" has been taken here in the most kindly vein or in the most sportsmanlike way. It has hit the Englishman on his most tender spot-his vanity He can say nothing. He admits the better boat won. What hurts him Is the world-conceded point that American skill has successfully defeated English skill in boat building. The race is but the effect boat building the cause. The genius of the English boat builder has been repeatedly eclipsed by that of the American and this hits England hard She has a limited acreage, yet she glories in the fact that so small an island has such dominion over the earth. She points to Canada, India and Australia. She has claimed dominion over the sea. With pardonable blow and bluster she pointed to her navy. At the breaking out of the Spanlsh-Ameriean war her sympathy was with the United States, for she believed her no match for Spain on the sea. Ma nila and Santiago opened her eyes to the new maritime world power. 1t was startling vislon and one not wholly agreeable. Then, again, the enormous maritime hotilla the United States seem ed to float as if by magic added an un- pleasant back ground to the exhibition of floating power. And now comes the defeated Shamrocks confessing failure in construction.
 So deep is the feeling that 1t is now de- cided to convene the shipbuilding experts of England and to determine upon the build of a yacht that can lift the cup. It is thought that it is necessary to win the cup to re-assure the British mind that still Britannia rules the wave" Down 10 the depths of the lowest classes who stoutly adhere to British superiority in the face of all facts the feeling is creeping that England has lost her pres tige as maritime nation. 1t is not long CT a question of sport, it has become the question of nations prestige on the element she claims to rule.
 
 A variety of alterations and improve ments have also been carried out at Abergelde Castle, which will in future be the Scotch residence of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Abergeldie is well situated on the south bank of the Dee, two miles below Balmoral. and consists of a picturesque old keep, with a variety of additions. It is a comfortable, unpre- tending house, the great feature of the place being the delightful old garden, in which is a magnificent copper beech. with other stately trees and grass walks, and sweet old-fashioned shrubs and flow CTS. There is a pleasant green terrace running along the bank of the Dee, from which are beautiful views.

A Lesson for the Bishop.

Bishop Nicholaon of Milwaukee has a story of personal experience to tell to those who seem -wamped in worries, ac- cording to the Milwaukee Journal. IL happened during the first years of his ministry, when he was rector of a Phil adelphia church. The parish matters, social and financial, were in a bad way, and strengthening them out was slow work He was distinctly discouraged one day when, having gone to New York on business, he stopped to look at the Brooklyn bridge. then building A man,

Rouge One Cheek Only.

 Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia has a delightful humor. His gentle and wise witticisms make Philadelphia laugh often.
 A very young girl one day said to him:

 Some" said the archbishop. hold that there is nothing pernicious in a little rouge while others regard the use of this cosmetic as vulgar. To me it seems best to steer a middle course between those two opinions, and I would advise you. therefore, to use rouge upon one cheek oulvn
