Coffee Dll Not Kill Him

Philip Keilty, a wealthy retired man. gfacturer, died February 9, just few months after celebrating the 1O2 anni- versary of his birth. He drank six cups of good coffee daily all his life. tThe facts concerning the above were investigated and were found to be as stated.) Therefore. when you hear this one and that one say coffee is not good for your health, just let them con- tinue thinking so. If they do not like the drink or it has made them sick, it's because they don't get the good i quality. Now if you buy from us, we sell you the kind which we warrant to be good. Then again you'll hear pe0- pie say they object to having chieory in their coffee. In such case let us know it and you won't get chicery; but we claim chicory adds a delicious touch to the breakfast, providing you have just enough put into the coffee, and we claim to know how much IS needed; therefore leave that part of the bargain to us. Pope, the essayist and poet, who was a deyotee of the coffee cup, penned the following lines: #ACoffee, which makes the politician wise,
 sAnd see through all things With his
 half shut eyes"
 We honestly believe the Hon Tom Platt will say the above poet is right from first to last And if the reader of this ad is not a parton of ours. but will call and purchase pound of our Mocha and Java and see that it's made properly they, too. will say coffee (par- ticularly the kind we selD Is a great drink in the morning, providing you buy 1t at

STAGE ANTHOLOGY.

What is the popularity of the mosi
popular of poets compared with thai
of the composer? How f1attering, how
encouraging. it must be for such a
composer to see that not only every
body sings and whistles his airs. but
more; that under the charm of these
airs the dainty foot of many a fine
lady reveals itself as she glides over
| the polished floor of the ballroom. Are
not the arabeSQues which the fairy
footstep of woman designs on the par
Strauss-are they not by far more
charming than the gray pictures which
| Theodore Pixis has drawn for the
Tristan und Isolde" of Wagner P
Daniel Splitter.
The feuilletonist of Paris, when on
his travels. carries the mud OF the
boulevards on his shoes wherever he
goes The feuilletonist of Vienna
makes some effort to brush away the
prejudices of the Ringstrasse when
abroad. and becomes quite a cosmo-
politan.-Lewis Rosenthal.
| The man who is selling crackers gets
up new varieties to sharpen the ap-
petites of the customers he already
has. The THEATRICAL manager assumes
that there is only one class of people
and only one set of tastes in the whole
world, and he caters exclusively to that
class.-Israel zangwill.
The theatrical manager hears the
guffaw that follows the removal of the
chair from under the man who is
about to sit down. and he assumes that
that is what the public Ikes.-Israel
Zangwill.
Dollars is the thing. I don't attempt
to talk anything but dollars to man
ayers. 1 don't talk art. I harp on
dollars, and it is just this particular
subject of dollars upon which they
appear to me densely stupid.-Israel
Zangwill.
The highest meaning of beauty is to
symbolic truth.-Kant.
Mediocrity becomes moral from ne
ceSsity, which it has the impudence to
call virtue.-Ingersoll.
A good company of comedians,
Theater Royal judiciously managed,
is your true Herald's college; the only
Antiquarian society that is worth a
rush. 1t is for this reason that there
is such an air of romance about play
erS, and that it is pleasanter to see
them, even in their own persons, than
any of the three learned professions.
We feel more respect for John Kemble
in a plain coat than for the lord chan
cellor In the wOolSack. He is sur
rounded, to our eyes, with a greater
number of imposing recollectiOnS; he
is more reverend piece of formality;
a more complicated tissue of costume.
We do not know whether to look upon
this accomplished actor as Pierre, or
King John, or Coriolanus. or Cato. or
LeonteS, or the Stranger. But we see
in his a stately hieroglyphic of human
1ty; living monument of departed
greatness; a Somber comment on the
rise and fall of kings. We look after
him till he is out of sight. as we listen
to story of one of Ossian's heroes
to "a tale of other times. ''-Hazlitt.

HoPPER's FAMOUS JINGLE.
"Casey at the Bat' Parody on
ssHOrafiIIs."

''HOTatiuS."
1t has never, oddly, been pointed
out, that Casey" was a parody OF
ssHoratius," vet a perusaI of both
semblance in story and that the poems
are written in the same meter. 1t is
a curious fact, also, that the words ''the
nine" appear in the first line OF
'Horatius,' and this, Mr. Wilstach
thinks, at this distant time, may have
served to suggest the baseball connec-
ton with the parody. Anyway, Sioux
City was baseball crazy at that time
The opening verses of "HoratiuS'' are
as follows:
Lars Parsena OF Clusium by the nine
That the great house of Tarquin should
suffer wrong no more.
The opening lines of Casey and
quoted for the benefit of those who are
not acquainted with the poem in Ques-
ton, are as follows:
1T looked extremely rocky for the Mud
The score stood four to six. with but an
And H so, WIEN her c co 4 died at first, and
Burrows did the same,
A pallor wreathed the features of the
patrons of the gamer!
One does not have to compare these
poems closely before he discovers that
there is a very close resemblance one to
the other. For instance, the line in
Casey:
Defiance cleaned in Casey's eye. a sneer
curled Casey's lips"
Turning to "Horatius," we ind this
line:
HE smiled on those bold Romans. =
smile serene ans high"
Then the famous line in Casey:
Kill himl XIII the umpirer shouted
some one from the stand"
Again turning to "Horatius," we ind the
suggestion for this:
1.-THE Same Smile"
So Down with him! cried false Sextus.
with a smile his pale face"
The closing of the two poems is very
similar, that of Casey ending:
"Oh, somewhere in this favored land the
sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere and some
where hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing and
somewhere child an shout:
But there is no joy. in Mudville-mighty
Casey has struck out
The closing lines of "Horatius" are as
follows:
with weeping and with laughter, still is
the story told
How we'll Horatius kept tho bridge in the
brave days of DID,
Those who have heard Mr. Hopper recite
this poem will recall one of the finest
feats of elocution heard in many a day,
but 1t is to be hoped in the future that
rightful owner, the brilliant child of Erin
VIII Valentine.

MUSICAL NOTES.

Now that the kaiser has become a
collaboration in the production of an
opera, the world would hardly be sur
prised to hear next that he is going
to do whole opera-libretto and
music-all by himself. Maybe he will
conduct 1t, too, or assume one of the
vocal roles. In that case will he be
as liberal as he was this week, when
he invited the audience at the first
production of Leoncavallo's Roland
of Berlin" to applaud or hiss as they
pleased, regardless of his presence, or
will lie follow the example of Nero
and compel the whole audience to be
his claQue on penalty of being accused
of "majestatsbeleidigun However
that may be, never, surely, has a COM
poser of Leoncavallo's humble rank
been so favored by good luck as he has
ever since the kaiser suggested an
operate subject to him, and helped
he helped may be inferred from the
remark attributed to the composer at
the performance that his royal patron
should have received at least a quarter
Of the applause. But the kaiser him
self applauded, on his feet, and of
course his 1,146 invited guests, who
constituted the greater part of the au-
dience, applauded also, frantically,
Leoncavallo's collaboration, that he
had spent $4,000 on the staging of
the opera, and personally superintend-
ed the rehearsals. The Italian COM
these circumstances, as to take the ap-
plause he got as a sincere verdict on
the merits of his new opera.
1t is said that Leoncavallo at one
time, realizing the difficulty of an
italian doing justice to so German a
subject as Roland" wanted to ask
permission to give it up, but the
kaiser refused to even discuss the mat
ter. AS the libretto treats of two diff
ferent subjects-namely, the political
conflicts and the love affair-Leonca-
valIo has had to combine delicate
lyrics with music suiting the tumul-
tuous scenes and the bellicose char
acters of the plot. Knowing that he
was best qualified to compose the lyric
parts, and in order also to give his
music a German stamp, Leoncavalla
resorted to the expedient of introduce
ing old German historical marches,
songs and dances into the score. There
is in it the ''fuggering dance" of the
year 1874, so called after the famous
Fugger family of Augsburg. Then
has reproduced a love
song by Count Joachim Ernst of An
