THE SILVER SLIPPER"

"The Silver Slipper" as produced by John c. Fisher, is one of the most stu pendous and gorgeously staged and costumed musical plays of this. season. Following a successful season at the Broadway theater, New York City, the original production, scenery and cos tunes, with a superior cast, will be pre- sented at the Doris theater under the management of F. w. Stechan tonight.
 Box office returns of the Broadway theater, New York, show that during the six months engagement at that season of "The Silver Slipper it played to the enormous sum of s295. .60O.0O, or an average of S14,7S0.00 a week. Such receipts as these it is said are only possible in New York city where more money is paid for amusemen ents than in any other city throughout the world.
 The musical hits of The Silver Slip per" are At the Seaside" -Four and Twenty Little Men" "The Girl You Love" Two Eyes of Blue" "Tessie,' There's Q Girl Wanted There "Zan- zibar," the Come Little Girl" sextette. a reminder of Tell Me Pretty Maiden the great musical hit of ''Florodora," by the same authors and last but not least, the most decided novelty ever seen in a musical comedy.
 The latest sensation in the dancing line which comes from London, is un- doubtedly the Champagne Dance in "The Silver Slipper" The /six girls who are seen in this ballet, as we'll as several other stage movements during the action. of the piece, are all picked dancers from Mir. Edwardes' London Gaiety theater-girls who were appren- ticed to MT. EdWardes' dancing master when but eight or nine years of age, and who after a complete saseon of in- struction, according to the rule of the school, were given places in the rear line. As their proficiency increases, they are brought forward and after a tuition of three seasons if they are not found thoroughly capable, they are dropped altogether.
 Of the sextette of dancers which MT. Fisher brought over there is probably not half a pound of differences in their weight nor a half inch in their height and to say which is the most expert of the six would be as hard as to pick

WATCH THE NExr>JoB UP.

From f6 a week to S6.O0O a year is the record made in twelve years, by young man who is now managing the New York business of Q big Cincinnati manufacturing concern. He is now only thirty one years old. has not lost his head, is not wasting any time IooS- ing back to see how far he has gone and has his eye firmly fixed on the next higher rung in the ladder. He has in- vested a portion of his savings in the stock of the concern and, if he doesn't get close to the top in the next ten years, his friends are bad guessers.
 This young man started in as a sort of office boy with the firm in Cincinnati when he was nineteen years old. He had completed a course in the high school and spent year or so in work ing for other concerns at small wages. He soon saw that his new employer was a substantial firm in which merit would win-and he tied to it.
 Asked how he managed to increase his salary from S6 a week to something over $115 a week in so short a time he explained, without indulging in any sclf-laudation, that he always kept one eye on the job next above his.
 'I was fortunate, he went on, Sin getting into the employ Of a firm that
 
 growing rapidly. I didn't have to wait for the man above me to die or get discharged. As the business expanded, the best men were pushed Up. There was a, constant demand for men of ex- ecutive ability, who knew the business and the methods of the concern. to fill the higher positions.
 'I always made practice of observ- ing how the man above me handled his work, and when I thought I saw where his methods could be improved upon made mental note of it. While always striving to do my own work in the best manner possible, I kept study ing the duties of the man above. When that man was moved up a notch and the old man" asked me if I thought could fill that place, l was able to say with confidence that l believed I could.
 eff a young man in such a concern as this performs his duties conscien- tiously and follows the simple rule. of keeping his eye on the job next higher than his own. he stands a good chance of advancing"

 MT. Grove has died a lonely death in Alaska. with only a chum to take down his dying confession and breathe a final prayer for him. His body has been found floating in the Chicago riv- CT and he has committed suicide in a cheap lodging house in San Francisco. He has shot himself in New York be- cause Of remorse and taken poison in Indiana because his conscience proved to be of the New England variety. He has died in a railroad accident and he has nerished in a storm on the great lakes. And between these dissolutions he has accomplished feats in the way of travelling that make a Jules Verne novel seem uninteresting and slow by comparison.
 Ard now Mir. Grove, like Truth in this one respect at least, has risen again. This time he is on the Missouri river bottoms and police officers and sheriffs seem to have no doubt that they will capture him. Certainly if their surmise proves correct, a long suffering public will be glad And it will hope that MT. Grove will be taken alive, since it long ago lost faith in that gentleman's ability to stay dead. There is no doubt at all that the man -HJ 6qepnO eHeu ol pedIsq seq oqM

AN EMBARRASSING TRUTH.
Jealous Parker laas rhtsks Bryan Q
Danger to the Party.


Danger TO the Party.
In the course of . political campaign
the truth will come out At moments and
IN quarters most unexpected Some men,
bers Of the party more honest and can
did than the rest will speak out and utter
truths that must be most embarrassing
to the party, and which, Ike q fash Of
lightning. reveal objects and purposes
that before were shrouded in grateful
darkness. Such effects must have been
produced by the utterances Of the honest
and able editor of the South Bend Times.
one of the most influential Democratic
newspapers in northern Indiana. and
these utterances are worthy Of more
than . passing notice because they re-
veal q condition Of things within the
ranks Of the Democratic party sugges-
tive Of Its hopsIess dissension and deca-
dence.
Mr.. J. B. Stoll, the editor Of the Times.
comes out openly In advocacy Of the elec-
tion Of Parker and Davis, not on the
ground that they stand for principles or
measures which are not also advocated
BY Roosevelt and Fairbanks, but for this
one and chief reason: that the election
OF Parker will eHectuaily and permanent
ly Kill Bryas and all that Bryan repre-
sents In the past and will represent In
the future. Among other things. Mr..
StolI says:
Parker aad Davis. triumphant In Novem-
parturs foreshadowed By Nr. Bryan. .
An engagipg personality and persuasive elo-
quencs may. under certain conditions. pepu.
danger to eur institutions and lead to the
destruction ef the republic Itself.
Thus Il - plain bow Mr.. Bryan's past
and future Democracy 10 valued BY the
friends Of Parker, yet Mr.. Bryan was in
vited to stump Indiana On the theory
that be could induce his former followers
tn vote for the very candidate whose
election will put the stamp Of eondem-
nation on all that he ever did and advo-
Gated, and upon the good judgment. in
teilisence and patriotism Of all his friends
and supporters. telling them. in effect.
that they have been nothing hess than
enemies Of the republic.
When We place the damning judgment
Of Parker's friends against the opinions
heretofore held by Mr.. Bryan about Par
ker We must come TO the conclusion that
the two great leaders Of Democracy have
formed . remarkably trus estimate Of
each others virtues and methods. This
IL what Mr.. Bryan said in his Chicago
speech Of April "a:
can prove to every unbiased mind that
yudge Parker In not Q 6t man for the
Democratic party or any other party TO
nonlnate that stands fer honesty and fair
dealing In poiitics-
And here ID what Mr.. Bryan said in
the Conmoner. On July 13, aftsT the
nouina tion Of Parker:
HAVE NOTHING TO TAKE RACK. I
HAVE NOTHING TO WITHDRAW or
THE THINGS I HAVE SAID.
In view Of these unqualified statements
II will be particularly interesting to
watch how Mr.. Bryan will be able to
convince bic many friends In former bat
ties tbst - really wishes Mr.. Parker's
ssccess, and especially aftes the Parker
lesders have shown such an sndisguised
disposition to coesisu Mr.. Bryan to 20
