"Prince of Pilsen."

At the end of the opening week of the
return season of prince of Pilsen' to
Chicago, at the Studebaker, beginning Au-
gust l, the Chicago papers in careful re-
views were unanimous in the conclusion
that Henry w. Savage has reproduced
the musical comedy in handsomer form
than he did in the original production
last season. The common verdict was ex-
pressed by the Tribune of August 9, which
said:
Prince of Pilsen' continues to draw
crowded houses at the Studebaker, and
seems to make a greater hit now than it
lid during its previous engagements at the
same house. The season in the east seems
10 have frightened up the show, and
made it more attractive than ever"
The production will appear at the JEFF
ferson theatre next Wednesday. The sale

What a Man Does.

The idea of the Son of God in this in
atance is this: That it is not what a
man says, not what he hopes to be, that
affects his life, but what he really does.
And beyond that to be constantly saying
what we are going to do. and to fail to
put forth the corresponding energy to ac-
complish our desire is to injure the deep
est life of the soul Understand, the idea
is not one of pessimism. No good reso-
luton is to be discouraged, no desire for
better living, no high born purpose is to
be disccuntenanced. The very fact that
man wants to be better is harbinger of

Bryan Not Politically Dead.

John Temple Graves, editor of the
Atlanta News, writing from St.
Louis, gives graphic pen picture of
the recent National Democratic Con-
vention. After speaking of several
conspicuous fig Tres Of that now his
toric body, he thus speaks of William
jennings Bryan:
But all tributes and all ovations in
that great historic assembly of dele
gates and people pale into insignifi-
canoe beside the continuing popular
idolatry that; followed William j.
Bryan. 1t was not only one time, but
every time; not upon special occasions,
but upon the slightest provocation. any
81. .zestion Of him swept the vast as
sembly into storm. Every mention
of his name was magical. The sight
of his impressive figure was signal
for the widest enthusiasm, and be
alone was potential to still the storm
which his lightest word let loose.
Time and again when the Democratic
chairman, and the sergeant-at-arms,
and the officers, and the police. we're
simply as leaves in the tempest of
popular excitement, one lifted finger
Of the great Nebraskan could bring
almost instant stiffness to the turhuR
lent enthusiasm which all the organ
ized forces Of the Democratic convens
tion could not control. 9
"No man has ever seen Bryan-the
real Bryan-unless he saw him at St.
Louis. Those. who have seen him
elsewhere have seen the great but
tranquil teacher, preaching in pa
tience and biding his time. Those
who saw him at st. Louis saw Bryan
at his best and greatest with all the
lion aroused by opposition and offense.
and all his marvellous eloquence winged
to it's loftiest fight by the occasion
and the emergency. And to have seen
Bryan at his best was to have seen the
worlds best at his best.
For no mau living and few men dead
have ever looked upon so peerless an
orator, so Incompatible master OF
assemblies, as Bryan at St. Louis.
The delegates before him were iron,
pledged, predetermined, inaccessible
and immovable. Bat if any one thou

In taking such a step Mayor Mahon
said he was actuated solely by what
be considered to be his duty to the
city oand it's people. Alderman Per
kins had opened correspondence with
the president of the Water Company
without the advice or consent of other
