appreciation of intrinsic historical values. the Colonel sets forth the ripe fruitage of all his lifelong experience in these
 'Recollsctions." pennei in his own viz orous and straightforward style that rises now and then to true eloquence.
 n certain departments the absolute authority of these Reccliections' as of all such writings. may naturally be brought Into question. Where the prob llems of tAe Civil War. for instance. and the vexed questions of operations, strat- egy and gsnsraiskip are at stake the ele- ment of personal opinion must necessarily be allowed. Colonel Mcclure has already found several critics of his own personal views concerning certain of these contro- versial matters. But the field, even in these still open questions, is fair ground for argument and Colonel McCiure's s views are always worthy of serious con- sideration. Impartiaiity. a tudicious, brcad-minded appreciation of human na- ture and an unswerving spirit of democ- racy characterize all the Coloners utter ances. as might have been predicted from his own public career.
 Tt Is needless for The Record to re- quote or even epitomise extracts from these Recollections,' so many of which it was glad to be the first to give to the general public. It may be we'll, however. to emphasize the great scope of these memoirs by quoting just . few of the hfty-two chapter headings. We might select the Contrast between Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, The First Battles of Our Civil War. The Battle of Broderick, Baker and McKibben to Hold the Pacific Region to the Union, Gales and Blair. the Great Editors of Old Times. If They Had Not Fired on Sum- ter, The Pacific Railway and the Sale of Chihuahua, Grant as Chieftain and Presi- dent The Hayes Election. The Shadows of Our Great National Contests, Sam Houston's Career. The Louisiana Lottery Robbery, Kossuth, Why Steward Could

He spoke of the workingman's end of the child labor law and prophesied that the Legislature would pass a suitable bill on this question.
 The attitude of labor toward capital. the power of the unions to meet the pows e~ of combinations of capital. the work of organizing all wage earners and other lhpot eAht ASOoE 0oSseaOt'S WI NASS

AT McDoNALD's THEATRE.
Georgia Minstrels Gave Two Per
 formances.

Georgia Minstrels Gave Two Per
 formanceS.
 The Georgia Minstrels at McDonald's Theatre last night and at matinee yester- day gave an entertainment that was up to expectations. The top heavy audiences that witnessed both performances were pleased, but not enthusiastic.
 The negro performers. were initiative. They chung closely to the traditions of the old time minstrel show. In first part and also the same old acts and the same old business were In evidence. There was nothing original and no novelties in the show.
 It was noticeable that a large per cent of the company consisted of young negroes evidently from schools and col- leges, where they had learned singing. if not dancing. Perhaps the artiiciality that was in evidence In the performance came from the school or college bred performers.
 The dancing and some of the singing was good. In fact most of the vocal numbers went well. but there were few that might have been left out. The ehoruses were lively and stirring.
 Billy KerSands was largely in evidence. The two galleries gave him a rapturous greeting, but his later work. however. did not show that he was entitled to 1t. Stlll, he made good with the top heavy house.
 Two new comedians. Dudley and Powell took off the honors of the evening. although they were not featured like Kersands-
 Kraton. in a hoop juggling act made the evenings hit His work was really remarkable.

pislocatsd Her Shoulder.

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus Falls. Minn., fell and dislocated her shoulder. She had a surgeon get 1t back in place as soon as possible, but 1t was quite sore and pained her very much. Her son mentioned that he had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised for sprains and soreness. and she asked him to buy her a bottle of 1t, which he did. It quickly relieved her and enabled her to sleep which she had not done for sev- eral days. The son was so much pleased with the relief 1t gave his mother that he has since recommended it to many oth- CTS. For sale by all druggists. adv.
