some people it sets its grip hard and
fast. up to a couple of years ago."

ST was as constant coffee drinker as
is was possible to be; indeed, my crav-
ing for coffee was equal to that of a
drunkard for his regular nip" and the
effect of the coffee drug upon my sys-
TEN was indeed deplorable.
My skin lacked it's natural color, my
features were pinched and my nerves
were shattered to such an extent as to
render me very irritable. also suffer-
ed from palpitation of the heart.
1T was while in this condition I read
an article about Postum Food Coffee,
and concluded to try it. 1t was not long
before Postum had entirely destroyed
my raging passion for coffee and in a
short time / had entirely given up cof-
fee for delicious Postum.

traordinary l am unable to describe it,.
Suffice it to say, however, that all my
troubles have disappeared. 1 am my
original happy self again and on the
whole the soothing and pleasant effects
produced by my cup of Postum make
me feel as though I have been landed

application to have committed to the
insane hospital, Rose Sarsfeld, who has
been living with her brother-in-law, w.
G. Barnard Of 149 Fillmore street. Her
brother, William, of Poplar street.
made the application. Barnard oppos-
ed it. Dir. Moore and DR.. Adelaide
Lambert both testified that the woman
was insane and needed treatment. Will
liam Sarsfield said his sister was not Of
sound mind. He was afraid she would
kill herself. He said that on one oc-
casion she jumped into the Quinnipiac
river to drown herself. Another BROTH
er of the unfortunate woman testified
that once his sister asked him to kill
her, as he had more pluck than the
other members of the family" Mr..
Barnard said his sister-in-law was
harmless, She had times Of mental ex-
element, he said, but he could always
quiet her. He didn't think it necessary
to send her to an asylum. =
John Sarsfield, another brother, said
he wanted his sister to have good
treatment IL she was taken to hos
piIal. She was confined in an asylum
in New Jersey, he said, and when she
came out. she appeared as if she had
been ill-treated. She had lost fifty
pounds during the period of her incar-
ceration and looked like living skele-
ton. -,F ~
Tho court decided to commit the woman
to Middletown and appointed Mr.. Barnard
Miss Sarsfeld has house and lot and
some money in the bank. In all her es-
tate is worth probably $1,000.

Musical extravaganzas may come and
go, but the famous Rays "A Hot Old
Time" will be. here for time immemo-
rial, if it continues to meet with the
public appreciation which ii has for
some years past, ana there is evidence
at every hand to warrant the belief that
it will. The edition of this laugh MAX
ing farce, musical review or spectacu-
lar melange of fun, frivolity and fool
ishness, which was presented at the
Grand Opera house last night and will
be repeated tonight and tomorrow
night, with matinee tomorrow, is
strictly up to date and brought right TO
the minute in every respect The pro-
duction is greater and bigger than ever,
the costumes more beautiful the cho-
rus girls more fascinating and the COM
edians funnier than last season, and
this is saying much, because "A Hot
Old Time" was last year one of the
funniest shows on the road. Last night
a crowded house yelled itself hoarse
with delight.
The piece will be repeated tonight

The farewell reception rendered to

the Historical society in the society S
rooms on Grove street was complete
social success. The reception hours
were from s to 10 o'clock and during
that time over 500 ladies and gentle
men called to pay their respects to DIR.
and Mrs. Lines. The invitations for the
affair were confined to the members of
the society and their friends and was
strictly a private affair. DR.. Lines de-
parture from this city has compelled
him to resign his presidency of the So
ciety, and it is with deep regret that
the members see him go. During his
term of office the society has seen one
of its most successful periods and a
great part Of the credit is due to the
efforts of the resigning president.
The rooms of the society were hand
sonaely decorated for the affair under
the direction of Mr. Moore, the florist,
with palms and ferns and during the
evening an orchestra gave charming
programme of music. A buffet luncheon
was served during the receiving hours
under the direction of the caterer.

Charles F'rohman has enjoyed four
seasons of success with "a Message

comedy seen here this season. 1t is an
nounced for next Thursday, Friday and
Saturday nights, with matinee Satur-
day.
"A Message from Mars" was per-
formed in London over five hundred
consecutive times and its success in
New York city was equally as great.
No wonder It leaves pleasant thought
in the memory. It's quality is high
throughout. The dialogue is clean-cut,
vigorous Saxon, lightened by much wit.
The action leaves nothing to be desir-'
ed. The cast of forty people is unusu-
ally large for a comedy and the scenic
and light effects are what are usually
seen in high-class drama. One of
Charles Frohman's best companies
gives it here at the Grand Opera house.

Will 1t supplant steam?

The Railway World is of the opinion
that the experience of the Manhattan
Elevated railway in New York, in the
quarter ended June 30 last, favors the
contention that electricity can be
substituted for steam in the opera
ton of railroads, and that, too, with
diminution of cost.
The quarter ended with June was
the first in which the roads were run
wholly by electricity. The official re-
port shows. says the World, that
the operating expenses decreased $780,
OH, although the road did a larger
business than ever before and offered
than it has provided since It was built.
These are encouraging facts. They
will be sure to prompt the inquiry if
surface railroads cannot be operated
more economically by electricity than
by steam. and so a gradual substitu-
ton of the former for the latter be
brought about
Economy is favored by the use of
electricity. Thus in the last quarter
in which steam was used exclusively.
operating expenses were 53.12 per
cent of earnings; when only electrici-
ty was used operating expenses fell to
39.OS per cent. This saving was made
in spite of more trains and more cars
run and the carrying of S.4O6.1SS more
passengers than in the previous quar-
ter

A Newspaper Failure.

There is an object lesson in the re-
cent failure of the Evening Press of
St. Joseph, Mo-. that it would be well
for those publishing newspapers or
who may contemplate going into the
business to ponder over and profit by.
The Evening Press was started about
a year ago with the avowed purpose
of forcing the st. Joseph News to the
wall. 1t was started with ample cap
ital and with what was claimed To be
most influential backing. The News
had pursued an Independent policy in
relation to municipal matters. favor
ing good government and opposing
corporate greed. This course was
obnoxious to certain interests and
they determined to establish a rival
paper and force the News into bank
ruptcy, as punishment for doing right
They purchased a fine plant, the most
approved machinery, and every APP
pOintment up-tO-date. They procured
the best newspaper talent available
men whose newspaper experience and
ability were recognized and who were
thoroughly competent TO make first
class newspaper of the Press. 1t was
launched with flourish of trumpets
and was conducted with great vigor.
But with all its money and with all
the skill and ability money could buy.
it could not win the support of the
public. 1t was fat failure, and de
served to be. 1t had to suspend pub
LEGATION and its plant and subscrip-
ton lists and business have been pur-
chased by the Evening News, the pa
per the Press was started to force to
the wall. The News has attached the
scalp of the Press to it's belt and will
hereafter be known as the st. Joseph
News and Press. The st. Joseph Ga
Zette, the morning daily of the city.
in giving an account of the failure of
the Press and its purchase by and
consolidation with the News, says:
''The Press was started about
year ago with the avowed purpose of
forcing the News to the wall. w. T.
Van Brunt, formerly general manager
of the ST. Joseph Railway Light,
Heat & Power company. was its back
er. The attack was a failure and the
paper lost 100000 in a very few
months. The Press published circula-
ton figures on its first page from day
to day and often claimed circulation

CATION by the new management the
sheet was found to have 800 subscrib-
ers and a total circulation of not more
than 5000. The Press staff has been
discharged and the News staff, with
its plant, will continue the News and
Press
This is the second attempt to es-
tablish daily paper in st. Joseph to
''dOwn" a newspaper that was being
conducted on legitimate and independ-
ent lines true to the welfare of the
communicative similar attempt oc-
curing few years ago. The result
was disastrous to the projectors. who
lost $4,000. After meteoric career
the paper was sold under the hammer
and disappeared from public view.
