Wards Miustrels, the largest of
the white minstrel organic atoms,
is stated to appear at the Audito-
rum on Wednesday, Nov. 2ud,
and a treat is in store For the min
strel loving people. This year the
company numbers over forty
members, and carries two bands,
two cars and a beautiful irst-
part setting entitled "a Night on
the Terrace" which alone is said
to be worth the price of admission
to see. Ten singers and an or
chestra of fifteen pieces aid IN
making this the greatest OF the
minstrel attractions.

Chairman kruttschnitt OF the

mittee. has been making some OK
his forcefui speeches in the mu.
nicipal campaign OF New Orleans.
On real Democratic tenets few
men in the State are better and
more accurately versed, and ne
declared in a recent speech that
the present schism in the party In
New Orleans was hardly less than
traitorous disruption OF the
grand old party, which in time
must rebound to the advantage OF
willy and vigilant Republicans.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt's great ability
and his vast political experience
ought to prove sufficient to adj
monish the good people of New

of false idols.
Secretary Henry Mayo, OF the
New Orleans Progressive uuion,
reports that the many Progressive
Leagues throughout the State are
taking a lively interest in the pro-
posed railroad amendment and
numbers of them have written re-
questing larger supplies of the
pamphlet, Railroads az State
Builders" recently published by
the Progressive Union. The pro-
posed amendment seems to have
met with popular favor both by
press and public, and every day
letters are received from private
individuals endorsing the propo-
sition and asserting that the
writer's will take an active interest
in furthering the success of the
measure. Tax Assessor Hama.
Of Monroe, says that tax values
have increased over two-and-a-

means the most interesting feature OF
the hill. A significant feature OF the
exhibit on this hin IS the absence OF
steam power Gasoline has ousted
steam completely. and today at the
state fair there is scarcely a piece Of
machinery that uses steam for motive
power. Nearly every machine on the
hill is kept at work constantly. so that
the rumble adds greatly to the pande-
monIum that prevails in the grounds.
OF the new features at the fair. not
the least interesting is the waste paper

boy is to keep the grounds free of
paper. There are many Of him. and

The Man Who Tired Carlyle.

There Is story OF Carlyle In his old
age having taken the following fare.
well in his broadest Scotch OF young
friend who had had him In charge for
walks and who, while almost always
adapting himself to Carlyle's mood,
had on a single occasion ventured TO
disagree with him: II would have you
to know, young man, that you have the
capacity Of being the greatest bore In
Christendom." The boredom had con.
sisted solely In the rather negative sin
of not having been convinced of the
truth OF one of Carlyle's dogmas, sin
all the more heinous because, instead
of standing boldly up to Carlyle and de.
claring his doctrine utterly peryerse,
the companion had betrayed his weak.
ness by an apologetic tone.
Now, Carlyle liked disciples, and be
respected antagonists, but he could not
endure being merely thwarted without
being thoroughly reused. He felt ip
that case that he had made no impress
sion at all on his interlocutor; that he
had neither won him nor excited him
to resistance. And nothing bored him
so much as that. or course 1t is only
exceptionally despotic minds that are
bored In this way.-London Spectator.

The Return Of . Pro,ectils.

The question is often asked, 'Will an
object thrown into the air, either from
the hand, volcano or even when shot
from rife or cannon, return to the
earth with the same initial velocity
with which 1t leftT The answer is: A
projectile thrown vertically upward
into the air will return with velocity
less than the initial. In the air the ac-
celebrating force which acts during the
descent Is not equal to the retarding
force during ascent. The retarding
force Is the same for the weight Of the
projectile and the atmospheric resist
ance, both acting in the same direction.
In the descent the accelerating force Is
the difference Of these two, since they
act in opposite directions. In vacuum
1t would be different. In that case, the
weight Of the proJectile being the only
force acting, this force would generate
In each foot Of the ball exactly the
same amount Of velocity that It had
lost in its passage upward. Thus the
Anal would find 1t with a speed equal
to its initial velocity.-St Louis Repub-
uc.

rington had withdrawn from the con-
test in favor Of his more attractive RI.
val, and when he was not around the
men began to speak Of poor Torring-
ton, while the women marveled at the
completeness and suddenness Of his
surrender.
But Torrington was not worried. IL
he was aware of the compassion Of the
men and the scorn Of the women he
did not show 1t, and his moonllke face
was always lighted by peaceful smile
as he sat by the prompter's table at
rehearsals and watched the proceed
ings. He acted as useful man about
the stage, reading the part Of some
one unable to attend rehearsal, holding
the book as prompter or performing
any slight service asked him.
Ransom, who possessed considerable
ability as an actor, worked hard with
his cast Of amateurs, but 1t Is not
easy to teach the art of acting, and
when in the course Of time the repe-
tition Of mistakes drove him frantic
he gradually lost command over his
temper and at the dress rehearsal he
had to apologize to the entire com

But II Miss Clausen had transferred

that her feelings had been hurt, but
he was not prepared to admit that
Ransom was to blame. Oddly enough,
his defense of Ransom served to in
crease her sense of injury. When the
night Of the performance arrived she
was scarcely civil to the stage man
