Mr.. Charles q. Hanfofd. The eminent
American usEedisn. whose splendid pro-
dustions OF Shaksspesrsan and other
standard plays are always with snthusi-
sssis welcome wherever they are offered
Monday evening. May llth. in The
and keeue have all passed away and
Charles 3. Hanford. who has been SO
closely associated with than and whom
the three predicted the fame and fortune
Of a most brilliant career is The natural
heir to the place left vacant by them.
Mr.. Hanford's name is already stamped
indelibly upon the pages Of the dramatic
history Of America and he stands today
as a representative Of the highest tyre Of
historienie art. Booth noted in Mr.. Han
ford not only intellect Of the profound
student, but those exceptional powers Of
conception and expression that character
ize the true artist and make the great
actor. Mr.. Hanford's reading is eele-
brated. Indeed. the press Of the country
is almost unanimous in proelaining him
the most effective reader on the legiti-
mate stage for many years past. His
voice is one Of those marvels that some
times appear in the moulding Of profess
sional men wonderful in its effortless
power. charming in It's quality and sub
servient to the slightest yolition Of will.
His interpretations of character. there
fore. are unhampered by those physical
inequalities that so frequently mar the
work Of otherwise able artists. Mr..
Hanford's physical endownents contrib
ute in no less degree to his remarkable
success than do his scholarly attainments
He possesses a noble presence. fine
head and features that seem to have been
chiseled for an ideal exponent of the
legitimate drama. It is difficult to con-
eeive more harmonious combination Of
Intellectual and physical attributes for
the attainment Of pre-eminenee in the
work he has chosen.

A DESPERATE DEED.
Arthur Vincent, a Resident Of Man.
zanOia for Seventeen Years,
Cuts His Throat In
Fit OF Insanity.

Early this morning Mrs. Arthur Vim
cent summoned DR.. Sheldon. reporting
that her husband had been acting
strangely for couple Of days and that
he had recently become SO violent that
she wanted the authorities assistance.
He went out and found his condition bad.
He called up Sheriff Barr. who came up
on the noon train. bringing Deputy Stew
art with him. They Immediately drove
TO his place. three miles southwest OF
town. but when they got there they found
him with his throat cut. His head was
nearly severed from his body. He did
the deed with razor in the presence OF
his family. his wife trying to prevent him.
No other person was present. He was
informed by Mrs. Vincent that the sheriff
was coming and the dread seemed to
have given his insanity turn toward
self-destruction.
Coroner Green will be up to take care
Of the body. The citizens Of Manzanola
have raised fund Of S25 to give the
body decent burial.
He leaves wife and three little child
rem. the youngest being but few months
old. Deceased came here in 1886. and
for many years followed truck farming
About year ago he had a fall from his
cart which seemed TO affect his head. and
from that time he seemed to lose interest
in life. and reclined on his neighbors and
the county for support.-Manzanola Sun,

Spring Ailments.

There is an aching and tired feeling;
the liver. bowls and kidneys become slug
gish and inactive. the digestion impaired,
with little or no appetite. no ambition for
anything, and a feeling that the whole
body and mind needs toning up. The
trouble is, that during winter. there has
been an accumulation Of waste matter in
the system. Herbine will remove it, Sc
cure to the secretions a right exit, and by
its tonic effect, fully restore the wasted
tissues and gives strength in place Of

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP

lain's Cough Cure.
When l had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one actually
cured myself with one bottle Of Cham
berlain's Cough remedy" says Frank
w. Perry, editor Of the Enterprise,
Shortsville, N. Y. "Th;s is the honest
truth. l at times kept coughing my
self to pieces by taxing a teaspoonful
OF this remedy, and when a coughing
spell would come on at night would
take dose and it seemrd that in
the briefest interval the cough would
pass off and l would go to sleep per-
fectly free from cough and it's accom-
panying pains. TO say that the rome-
cy acted as most agreeable surprise
is putting it very mildly. had no
idea that it would or could knock out
the grip, simply because | had never
tried it for such a purpose, but it did.
and it seemed with the second attach

IN THE STOkEHOLD.

Feeding the Many RavenOus Fur
naces In an Ocean Liner.
The work of eternally pushing the
old ship on past the meridians-the
race against time and the sun and the
interest on the money-begins in the
gloomy stokehold. You have heard
that the stOkehold is hot, and when
you have clambered into it over dis
orderly piles of still smoking ashes,
steadying yourself by taking incau-
tious hold of burning hand rails, and
stand for the first time face to face
with the furnaces you feel assured of
the fact
But. besides being hot, it is the most
active interesting part of the ship. 1t
is her whole life. You must spend
years studying it before you can stand
there in command of your watch with
your hand on the feed check valves,
your eyes on everything in general, and
keep the steam up where it belongs in
spite Of the ravenOus engines sucking
it away from you; years before you
can tell, in one swift glance, whether
a fireman is burning the greatest posi-
bic amount of coal per hour in his fires
with the least amount of waste.
The problem is this: Under certain
large quantity of water, which is con-
tinually changing. build thirty fires,
and by means Of them. nOtwithstand-
i-4g they must all be continually replen-
ished with fresh coal and freed from
ashes. keep it at a perfectly even tenn
perature (within very few degrees)
day and night for an indefinite period.
The game is the more interesting be-
cause Il ship can never afford to spare
more than just barely enough space
for her propelling machinery; conse-
Cuently erything-engines, boilers,
furnaces-must be worked to the very
limit of its capacity.
The game goes as regularly by turns
and in cycles as progressive whist.
Starting with a few fires first in order,
the doors are opened to admit few
shovelfuls of coal thrown quickly into
the front of the furnaces, then closed
again as soon as possible lest too much
cold air should enter. AS soon as they
are closed the fires next in order are
served the same way and then third
group. Next the green" coal in the
first fires is raked back through the
furnaces to complete it's combustion.
After another short interval it is nee
essary to "slice" them-that is, probe
them with long pointed bars to lift the
clinkers from the CRATES and make air
passages. Finally it is time to stoke
again.-Benjamin Brooks in Scribner's.

how this remedy had cured her little
boy and began giving 1t to my baby
at once and it soon cured her. 1 heart
