POTENCY OF LOOSE CHANGE.
It Is the NickeIs and Dimes That Build
Up Great Fortunes.


When the crusaders against policy
made the statement that the gross daily
receipts from the game in Chicago ag-
gregated 100000, the community was
astounded. Thirty thousand dollars in
pennies and dimes gambled away each
day!-impossible! But such is the
truth.
Most persons never stop to think of
the power of the loose change They
hold it so lightly that they fling it
about recklessly-and that is the chief
reason for it's power.
The pennies and dimes give chief
support to the churches of the nation
The magnificent contribution of the
millionaire dwindles to the proportion
OF the widows mite when compared to
the great total. 1t is the loose change
carried up to the altar rail which meets
the mortgage, pays the pastors salary
and sends the missionaries to the four
corners of the earth.
Go through the books of the big char
table institutions and you will find how
dependent they are upon the small Civ
ers-on loose change. From Sunday
school classes, sewing circles, church
collections, church entertainments and
the penny boxes which stand in drug
and grocery stores comes the greater
portion Of the revenue. The Million
aire philanthropists of the nation would
be appalled, at their responsibility if
the support of the small givers was
withdrawn from the charitable instftu-

WHEN JOHNNY COMES MARCH
ING HOME"

Nearly all CT F. c. Whitney's theatrI-
cal and operate attractions will begin
the season of 1904 in the West.
When Johnny Comes Marching
Home, the stirring wartime opera,
which IS now having such a phenome-
nal run at McVicker's theater, Chicago,
will play the principal cities of the
West and Northwest for the first few
weeks of next season, and will then
tour the South. Although it is a war
time opera there is nothing in either
the book or the music that will in the
least wound the sensibilities of the
partisans Of the Northern or Southern
cause. The main incidents OF the OBJ
era are supposed to transpire in Mis-
sissippi just the day before peace is
declared, when both sides are rejoicing
that the dawn Of good times is at hand
The authors have contrived to inter-
sperse through the opera snatches Of
the most popular war songs of both the
North and South and also number of
the best known Southern melodies. The
Introduction of this music has proven
great novelty, and is one of the
strong features of when Johnny
Comes Marching Home" There is one
song, My Own United States" which
breathes a spirit of lofty patriotism
and which is as noble and inspiring as
MY Country 'Tis of Thee" One OF
the most effective musical numbers of
the opera is. entitled Katie, My South

golden tide of royalties. Any play
wright who has a drama produced and
used for the season by players of the
caliber of either Viola Allen, Nat c..
Goodwin, Julia MarlOWe or Richard
Mansfield may count on snug little
fortune. The average weeks business
of any one of these popular stars
might safely be put at $4,000, while
each of them have single weeks which
amount to $4,000 or more. All of these
important stars, except Miss Marlowe,
will appear in Shakespeare's plays next
season. Hence it will be seen that
Miss Allen, Mr.. Goodwin and Mr.
Mansfield will have thousands of dol
lars which would otherwise be paid to
dramatists for the exclusive use of
their plays. 1t will be a great year
for Shakespeare and the classic drama
but bad one for the modern dramatic
author-Cincinnati Enquirer.
