seaaa Bottom Falling.

Scientists tell us that, counting from the sea level, the lowest body of water on the globe is the Caspian sea. F5z centuries it's surface has been gradually settling down until now it is 85 feet lower than that of it's near neighbor, the Black sea, which also lies far below the level of the oceans The common con- clusion all along has been that the Cas- plan was simply losing it's waters by evaporation, but recent investigation shows that this is not the case. Sound ings made and compared with records of soundings made over 100 years ago reveal the astounding fact that there is even greater depth of water now than then. This leaves but one hypothesis that would seem at all tenable-that the bottom of the sea Is actually sinking.

DAN sULLY.

The popular Dan Su1ly will be at Polls Monday afternoon and evening, presenting his latest success 1.-The Old Mill Stream" This new play in which MT Sully is achieving quite as pro nounced success as he did Tn "The Parish Priest" is heralded as one of the most delightful and touching rural dramas of the season. The trials and triumphs of the village people have been handled with deftness of touch and delicacy of construction seldom met with. Tn the simple plot so much art and skill is manifested in dealing with the characters and surroundings that the subject seems entirely new. MT Sully in his character must be con- graduated on having surpassed his previous efforts in skillful delineation He is the honest justice straightening out the mixed up affairs of his neigh bors, a veritable peacemaker, loved and honored. The sale of seats will open tomorrow.

There was nothing unusual about this day, according to the average man, who explains that the bellboy fingered expectantly after both visits; that the bootblack's fixed charge of 5 cents was merely a pleasantly and that dOu- ble the sum was confidently looked for, and that, while the message he sent cost but 15 cents to deliver, it was ne cesary to give the messenger 25 cents in order to hurry the note along. The average man proceeds:
 Tn these days nobody can safely leave a barber shop by merely paying for the price of his shave, and it would be folly to expect the porter to get your trunk out of your room in time for the train unless there wast some thing in it for him. Here is an extra bill, all told, of $2.35 for one day, and it was within $1.15 of my hotel bill. In my business I earn ST, but it takes me over the country great deal. do not know where am to get the money to invest in the business I want to take up.'
 The average man then concludes his observations thus
 According to my judgment there d1 C ICC CldSSCS O1 DGOplS W 1O Llb menials the person who tips because he is generous, theonewho tips because he likes to appear generous and the one who tips because he bribes the per son tipped to give him more than his share of attention. I am in the last class.
 While this average mans tipping ex- penses appear large in proportion to his income it must be granted that the tips were necessary in order to expe- dite his business, as he partly explains, and to get proper service. There is nothing new in this plaint except that it has been reduced to figures. and if $2.25 day is an average in moderate commercial hotel there is indeed very little hope of the average mans saving much money to invest in business.
 Tipping has grown from habit to necessity in all American cities. formerly the waiter and the bellboy held an almost exclusive advantage, but now few ''courtesies' are without the expected reward. Inattention and even iDcivility are the portion of the man who does not tip If the average man with moderate income cannot afford these extra expenditures he suf- fers, since persons of large incomes, who are directly responsible for the spread of the tipping evil are still to be found and are willing to pay.
 Comfortable travel is impossible without tipping for proper attention. A man gets better meal, better serv- ed, when he offers extra inducements for it. He is better cared for when he pays well. All these things are true, and tipping is excessive, but the average man must bear with it until he offers a remedy. And this no average man sems able to do.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

promise of increasing its output of gold over that of last year, which amounted to $12.000,O00. Lack of new strikes or discoveries since the mem- lorab1e find in 1896 has set a limit on the output and it is now on the de- cline, having at this date produced over $S0,o0o,000 in gold. The Nome mining district is daily increasing as a producer and is being extended over vast. expanse of territory, projecting from Golovia bay to the Arctic ocean and east inland from the Behring sea as far as the difficulties of transporta- tion will permit.-Albany Argus.

TWENTY POUNDS OF ICE.
by an Ohio Woman Whose Case Puzzles Doctors.

One of the strangest cases on record has been discovered in Wellston, O., and the medical men have as yet been unable to do anything for the victim of a new and peculiar habit.
 Mary Munday, an employe of the In- ternational hotel, some months ago be- gan eating small bits of ice. She expe- rienced an inordinate craving for some thing cold, and nothing seemed to sat- isfy this desire but ice, and that but temporarily.
 Beginning with small bits of ice, which she held in her mouth till melted, the young woman has gradually in-

 This jolly musical extravaganza will be presented at Poli's this evening and should prove attractive to those who like this style of entertainment. A company comprising many players of standing has the performance in hand and they are sure to provide pleasing fun Comedian Ed Crawford, Sadie Duff, Dave Nowln, Virginia Reeves and Mildred Howell are chief among the funmakers and can be depended upon to give a creditable account of them selves. Miss Attic Spencer, one of the cleverest comediennes and of whom important things are predicted, togeth- CT with Milton Roberts, an exceeding ly funny Hebrew comedian, are i'm portant features in their respective parts. The English sisters Gladstone are new arrivals in the United States and give an exhibition of contortion and acrobatic feats that are quite re- markable. Ariel, the toe dancer, is still feature, while the big chorus and ensemble have received special atten- ton. Novel lectro-mechanical effects together with ten loads of scenery, make this attraction.

Mrs. Bonnie Allen Martin.

The sudden death of this be-
loved and lovable young woman
last Sunday, cast the gloom of a
deep sorrow over many hearts.
She died at Hotel Dieu, in New
Orleans, where she had gone for
relief from suffering.
On Monday afternoon the funer-
al took place from the Baptist
church of this city, and the SER
vices were conducted by Rev. r.
j. Boone, assisted by Pastor Pur-
ser, after which the mortal part
of Mrs. Martin was laid away at
Rose Hill, amid the sobs, and tears
of the bereaved and stricken rela-
tives and friends.
We had only a slight perso nal
acquaintance with Mrs. Martin;
but those who knew her we'll
speak tenderly of her gentleness,
her kindliness, her frank and
sunny disposition; and to them
she has passed away, literally, as
flower that today is and tomor-
row is not. She leaves a young
husband and two lovely little ones
to mourn her going away. May
the loving kindness and tender
mercy of a pitying father guide
and guard them along the way that
seems SO lonely now without wife
and mother.

Death Of Ell. Dickev.

E. L. Dickey, a long time resi-

day and was buried Saturday, the
services being conducted by Rev.
R. III. 'Purser. Mr.. Dickey was
76 years of age. A few weeks ago
he was called upon to part with
his wife and since that time he has
steadily declined. He leaves nine
children to mourn the loss of a
devoted father. He Joined the
Ramah Baptist church before the
war; but, at the time of his death,
was a member Of the Pleasant
Grove church.
It has been said of him that
this word was as good as his
bond" He was ruggedly honest
and lived up to his own conyic-
tions of truth and duty.

Band will appear at our Opera

Butler, the leader of the band,
occupies the same position in

dence Telegram and from the Illus
trated Zeitung, we take the follow
ing:
"Great credit should be given
the young and talented Miss Helen
May Butler, the leader of the
American Ladies' Military Brass
Band, which bears her name. In
all Germany there is no such Or
ganiaztion and we hope to see her
return with her band on this side
of the water ere long"
