Second: That the lowest price

ferior workmanship. The same parts
are used in both high and low-down

only in the weight Of the bowl and in
the finish of the woodwork.
Third: That our extensive advertis-

Notwithstanding reports that Russia
and Japan have come to an agreement
regarding the formers continued &C.
cupation of Manchuria, both nations
keep up their warlike preparations,
and an outbreak at any moment would
cause no surprise among those who are
familiar with conditions in the far
east.
The mikado demands that Man
churia shall be evacuated and that the
car keep his hands off Korea and
rather than retreat from this position
would go to war, it is believed. The
Japanese say they want neither Man
churia nor Korea, but wish them to
remain independent, with an open door
for the trade of the world. One thing
seems to be certain, the island empire
is not afraid of its mighty rival.
Mutsuhito, emperor of Japan, is one
of the most remarkable rulers of his
time, having brought his country from
q state of standardization to be a
recognized world power in little more
than thirty years.

by the shoguns were destroyed by fire.
In 1888 the government appropriated
100000 for the erection of a new
palace on this site. and this amount
was largely added to by wealthy Japa-
nese. More than five years were occu-
pied in its construction, and it was not

covered process consisted of a picture

scented at court, stating that no copper

Evelyn, in his "'Sculptura,' 1862, at
tributes the invention to Prince Ru-

that time Japan's advance has been
rapid.
In 1872 the measures taken against
native Christians were withdrawn,

abolition of feudalism and the dispatch

Unconscious sensations ana uncon-

Productivity of Life In AncteAt Egypt.

ProdiGality of Life In Ancient Egypt
The reckless prodigality witk which
in ancient Egypt the upper classes
squandered away the labor and lives
of the people is perfectly startling. In
this respect. as the monuments yet re-
naming abundantly prove, they stand
alone and without a rival. We may
form some idea of the almost incred-
ible waste when we hear that 1000
men were occupied for three years in
carrying single stone from Elephan-
tine to Sais, that the canal Of the Red
sea alone cost the lives of 10000
Egyptians and that to build one of the
pyramids required the labor of 100000
men for twenty years.

Dec. 16.-The Bostonians in robin

Few, if any, repertoire organiza-
tions have been as successful as the
Ferris Comedians, which will open for
a week at the Illinois theatre next
Monday night For the last Is years
they have played nearly the same ter
ritory and have never had a losing
season. which is a feat few theatrical
companies can boast of. One of the
reasons for this is that Mr.. Ferris
has always given the people the worth
of their money by putting on first
class productions at popular prices.
This season the company numbers 80
people and carries two ears of seen
cry. All the furniture, rugs and tap
estries used to beautify the many set
tings are carried by the company.
The plays to be presented by the COM
edians this season are all high class
productions. "A Young Wife" the
opening play, was written by j. X.
TillotstOn. one of the most popular
authors of the modern drama. Ten
nessee's Pardner'' is another play
which the company is putting on. AT
Valley Forge" which Mr.. Ferris has
arranged to produce during the week,
has never before been presented at
popular prices. The O'Neil version of
Monte Cristo" will also be put on,
with Wilson X. Todd in the title role.
Dick Ferris will be here in person and
take prominent part in one of the
plays. Monday night ladies will be
admitted free when accompanied by
a paid so cent ticket.

century celebration, the everlasting,

aid, will be here Dec. 10 in a revival

in the comic opera world is distinct
i've. Weathering all the storms that
a theatrical organization is likely to
meet in the course of % years, the
company has come up smiling each
season. No theatrical enterprise has
been in existence so long; none has
achieved so many successes. In an
other way is their career marked by
distinction. Ever since the dissolu-
ton of the Boston Ideals; its pretle-1

perience to have achieved so much in

rare devotion and studiOusness in ev-

Madame Schuman-Heink, the gold
en-voiced singer of Austria, has had
a hard battle with fate and succeed
ed in spite of obstacles that seemed
almost insurmountable. She was the

the prize singer in the little convent
at Prague. where she received her
early education. Two years later she
began the serious study of music, and
after a three years course determin-
ed to go on the operate stage. She
braved the opposition of her family,
and with neither experience, roper
toire nor influence, had the temerity
to apply for the position of cOntralto
at the Court Opera of Dresden. There
were many candidates, but the sweet
est singer of all on that momentous
day was this young girl of Il, and to
her Joy she was selected. Her debut
in 1878 in I'll Trovatore" was the pre-
lude to long and faithful study. At
the beginning of her fourth season of
brilliant success she married and re-
tired from the stage. But her dreams
of happiness were sadly shattered;
her unhappy marriage was dissolved
by the courts, and with children to
support. she was forced to return to
