FOREST PARK.

The management has secured an- other good bill of entertainment for this week and last night it received it's opening at the little theater. Despite the big attendance on Sunday, there was another large crowd up there last night to take in the sights. The pro gram consists of five vaudeville num- bers and each one seemed to give gen eral satisfaction. Tonight will see a new aeronaut give his exhibitions and while he may be new to the Water bury public he is considered the most skillful of any of the balloon ascen- sionists. He will make six trips this week and after each one a parachute drop will be given. This will make the trips more exciting and interesting. Professor Hayden will do the work and he will repeat to-night's act on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings and on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

EIGHT BELLS.

That ever green pantom1mlc comedy Brothers Byrne are to present at Polls Dn Thursday evening shows great inn provement over it's predecessor in this line, the sensational features being much stronger in every way. One can hardly appreciate the scene of a ship { completely turning around, unless the ship in the Flight Bells is seen, and the conviction will come that no more howlingly funny act was ever de- vised It is not true to the lines of the play but to the clever gymnastic work of the brothers who continue the life of the performance aided by a we'll balanced company, that the success of the comedy is attributable From the rise of the first to the fall of the last curtain everybody is working and working hard. It is go from beginning to end and so humorous are some of the situations that the audience shows H disposition to resent the excellence for laughter towards the close suggests ,khe explosive sounds from tired lungs and throats. Tn the production this season there is a great improvement, showing a desire on the part of the Brothers Byrne to keep the comedy up to its original attractiveness. And they succeed in giving a very enter taining and catchy performance. Taken In it's entirety the new Eight Bells'' Is a nautical wonder and preserves it's success Seats will go on sale to-mor- COW at 25, 35, 50 and 75 cents.

A THANKFUL MAN.

T was out in Iowa last fall, said Brooklyn citizen the other day, and at certain village where had busl- ness leading citizen named Colonel Blair asked me to ride around the viii lage. We had scarely got started when he made a great show of lowing to pedestrian, and then explained:
 "'That's Mir Davis, one of our fore most citizens. He is the man who held chatte1 mortgage on my stock of goods and closed me out of busl- ness. Splendid business man, MT Davis.'
 ssWe turned a corner, and the colonel took off his hat and bowed to a lady sitting on a veranda and whispered to me:
 "SThat's Mrs Clymer. the lady who got my house on mortgage and that was a favorite yeranda for years. Mrs Clymer is at the head of society here
 sSDown on the next block the colonel bowed and called out to a prosperous looking pedestrian, and then remarked:
 That's Major Singleton, our fore most lawyer here. He is the gentle man who got up the water power scheme and beat me out of $1O,O0O. We are all proud of the major
 s'I was trying to make out what sort of man the colonel was, when We passed a woodenware factory. He pointed to it and said:
 '''I used to be the owner of that fac tory, but Judge Cornell got a mortgage on it and closed me out. I hope we'll meet the judge as we drive around He's one of these big-hearted, whole some men and know you'll like him on sight
 "He, then raised his hat to a lady al her gate, and a few rods further or 1 stopped his horse to ask a man if he was well and enjoying himself. l That man. said the colonel, as wt | drove on, is our banker, MT Graves He advanced me 5000 when I was hard up, and the first thing knew he had my SIS, GOO farm.

 Two minutes later we turned cor ner to the left and saw a large brick l yard in field. Pulling up his horse l the colonel said:

nus FELLOWS BUILD HIS HOME.
Bricklayers Work Free ou Their Hoii- daus +o uoI,, u~no;,. AEo+a par+Iav

Bricklayers Work Free ou Their Hoii-
 days to Help Their Mate, Bartley.
 New York, Aug 25.-A two-story and basement brick house is being erected at 82 dsabelEa place, Astoria, the work on which is not costing the owner a cent. It would have been nearer completion yesterday but for what the builders termed the pernicious ac- tivity of the police.
 The owner is John Bartley, brick layer. For years he had been saving to buy lot and build himself home. and, a few weeks ago, he was telling the story of his many shifts to hide his eleven children from fiat house agents, when some of his fellow work men asked him why he did not build. Bartley explained he did not have enough money. He told how much he had and the men set to figuring.
 The result was that Bartley bought lot and purchased material. The cellar was dug, and, a week ago last Saturday afternoon, forty members Of Bartley's union set to work. By the next night they had run the walls up to the second floor. A number or framers lent their aid to get in the beams. During the week, Bartley worked about the place and, last Sat urday noon, the bricklayers went to work again.
 The walls were run up rapidly, ana the men were working hard on Sunday when they were stopped by the police, so number of them remained 7unt1 daylight yesterday morning, when they set to work again.
 Next Saturday afternoon the brick layers will complete their work. The building is 25x32 feet and the front 1s of ornamental brick. Bartley was at work on the house. yesterday after noon. He said that but for the free labor of his fellow bricklayers, he would not have been able to build Tor at least a year. He says, too, that the help his friends have given, en- abled him to erect a better house than he could have afforded otherwise.

PLAYED A PIANO 2e HOURS.
When the Professors Bet Was Wol
 His Fingers Were All Rlisters

when the ProfeSSorS Bet Was Won,
 His Fingers Were All Blisters.
 Belleviile, III, Aug 25.-J. M. Water bury performed the feat of playing a piano continuously for twenty-six hours in a saloon on West A street, with no stop longer than five seconds He began playing at 8 o'clock on Sat urday night and stopped at 10 o'clock Sunday evening. He played ragtime, lullabies, grand opera, topical songs, ''heart" songs, old-fashioned music, two-steps, waHzes, polkas, anything but sacred music.
 In this long stretch Waterbury ate one Swiss cheese sandwich and one ham sandwich and drank freely of whiskey. He smoked cigarettes al most without cessation. Most of the time he sat on piano stool, but now and then he would stand up to rest. He could not roll or light his own cigar cites or hold his own glass Of whiskey eR his sandwiches. His partner waited on him.
 The feat was the outcome of wager that Waterbury could not play the piano continuously for twenty-five hours. When he ceased playing his fingers were a mass of blisters, his nerves shattered and his muscles SC sore that he could scarcely walk.

There is an old allegorical picture of a girl scared at a grasshopper, but in the act of heedlessly neading on a snake. This is paralle1ed by the man who spends large sum of money building cyclone cellar, but neglects to provide his family with a bottle of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy as safeguard against bowel complaints. whose victims out number those of the cyclonea hundred to one. This remedy is everywhere recognized as the most prompt and re- liable medicine in use for these dis eases. For sale by all druggists.

SAILORS BODY BURIED
WITHOUT A FUNERAL.

Without funeral services the body of
John Nelson, the Swedish sailor whose
dead form was found suspended from
the wall of cell in the Chatham coun-
ty Jail on Sunday morning, was buried
Sunday afternoon in Laurel Grove
Cemetery.
No word was received from the rela-
tives of the dead sailor in New York,
who had been notified of Nelson's
death, and the county authorities, I'M
able to keep the body longer, ordered
Undertaken Dixon to bury it,
The burial was without attendance
except the grave digsers and the I'M
dertaker and his assistants, who lower
ed the body into the grave and then
quickly covered 1t over, conforming
with the dead mans desires, Nelson
having expressed himself to the Swed-
ish consul that he would rather die
than become an inmate of the lunatic
asylum, to which institution he would
have been carried had he not escaped
through his suicide.
1t is understood that the relatives of
Nelson in New York were not finan-
cially able to care for him and for this
reason did not request that the body be
sent to New York for burial.

UnISnOn Negro Sent Bullet Through
Simmons Shoulder.
Following a dispute over a game of
pool in Wallace's place on Stewart
street, near the Union Station, early
last night, Joe Simmons, colored was
shot through the right shoulder by an
unknown negro.
According to Simmons story the
shooting was unexpected and without
the slightest provocation. The strang-
er had made a scratch" and when
told that he would have to spot a
pail became angry. Little was said at
that time, and a minute later those
IN the place were startled by a pistol
shot.
Without a word of warning the IN
known negro had whipped out a re-
VolVer and fired at Simmons. The
man who did the shooting ran out of
the place and disappeared on Stewart
street. The wounded negro received
attention at the office of DR.. q w
Heriot and was seen there by the po-
lice.
Simmons was laughing while his
wound was being dressed and it was
several minutes before the officers We're
able to get him to tell how the shoot
ing occurred. The negro was happy
because the bullet did not hit him in
a vital spot. Simmons Is a hanger
on around the pool room and does
not know the man who shot him

WHITE STONE LITHIA WATER.

Read what the Rev. ]. T. Mcbride,
Spartanburg, S. c., has to say about
the wonderful benefits that ne has re-
ceived from the use of this great wa
ter:
White Stone Lithia Co. Gentlemen:
l have tested the virtue of White Stone
Lithia Water and now most earnestly
commend it to anyone troubled with
any kidney diseases. 1t has done more
for me than any water l have ever
tried. For years 1 have suffered at
times with a passage of uric acid cal
Gull, and have tried a number of cele-
brated waters, among them Buffalo
Lithia Water, Tate, Capon Springs,
Waukessha, Bethesda, have spent two
months each summer for eight sue
cessive summers. While 1 was some
what benefited, 1 can safely state that
1 find no comparison in the action of
White Stone Lithia Water, for in 1t
l find that they act powerfully on my
kidneys, clearing up the urine, and
thoroughly washing them out-when l
drink White Stone Lithia Water in
sufficient quantities. II what l learn
from my doctors is true about flooding
the kidneys, then I can see no reason
why I should suffer any more with
uric acid calculi, or the fearful attacks
of renewal collie. AS long as 1 can get
it, 1 will try no other water but White
Stone Lithia Very respectfully

General Manager Saussy and Secre-
tary Doyle of the Savannah fair, are
confident that it will not be necessary
to ask the merchants to re-
deem the pledges they made to
guarantee the fair. Five thousand
dollars was pledged as a fund from
which to draw in case the fair did not
meet expenses.
While all the items have not been
figured up and the books are still far
from complete, the fair officers are al
most certain that the money will not
be asked for. 1t is absolutely certain
that not all Of it will be required. Sec
rotary Doyle said:
Il have not yet got my books up,
but 1 do not believe that we will have
to fall back on the merchants to meet
expenses. If we do, it will be for only
"a small percentage of the amount
pledged. Mr.. Levy, treasurer of the
fair, already has sufficient money in
his hands to meet all the premiums,
