NANA'S FINAL FAREWELL.
Magnificent Painting Now on Exhibl- ton to Be Kept Here Few Days Longer.

Because of the unusual attendance that followed the announcement of Mana s farewell, it has been decided to prolong the stay of Suchorowsky's beautiful painting in Birmingham few days long er Nothing has ever captivated the intel lectua and art loving sections of the city as the famous painting, which is now nearing the end of its successful en- gagement at the new art gallery No. 2DS Third avenue, two doors from Twentieth street. Great pictures are like great strains of music; they haunt the mem ory through all future years, and so Mana will long be remembered here as one of the most strangely beautiful and most magnetic thing ever put upon can vass.
 In fact. so fascinating and so beautiful is Mana that an observer is deluded into the belief that he sees before him in all her charming beauty the living creation of a poets dream, the Favored of the Gods" Mama will only remain on exhi- bition in Birmingham throughout the coming week, so those who contemplate paying this master piece visit, must not delay doing so. The price of ad- mission is only 10 cents. so that every one Is given the opportunity of seeing what the entire art critics of Europe and Amer lcd nave Dttii DltdStd tc dChlipWItuBt hs the most life-like representation of fe- male beauty ever placed on canvass. This grand work of art has attracted crowds to see it, day and night, composed of our best and worthy people in all conditions of life, who love the good and beau tiful." The subject of Mana is a pure study of nature in all the beauty and glory of female 1oveliness and the artist has never lost sight of his ideal. The picture is on exhibition from 10 a. m. to 10 D. m.

Doctors Do Taste Drugs.

From the New York Times.
 Do doctors know how their own medi- cine tastes?'' was a question put to a group of physicians.
 ITO be sure" said one but we have hard work to convince our patients that we do. If you only knew how this beastly stuff tastes doctor, you wouldn' t ask me to take it'-that is what they say And they are hard headed people, too, who say that-people who are by no means raving in delirium. It's hard ever to convince them that a doctor has a tasting acquaintance with his medicine.
 How did you find out about it?' is one of their trump questions. You have never been laid up with all the diseases in the dictionary. How did you learn what the different remedies taste like?' It never occurs to the average patient that tasting drugs is part of the medi- cal students education and that no man is qualified to practice until he has learn ed the flavor of the medicines he expects to prescribe"

Chicago eIee Club.

The Chicago Glee club without any doubt stands among the best male quar- tets this country has ever produced. The volume of the voices is such as to fill the largest auditorium while the pianis- simo passages are so fine and harmon ious as to hold the audience in breath less attention. Standard music both sac red and secular, is delivered in a true artistic manner while the humor is ori- glnal and refreshing and at the same time dignifed and elevating. Songs in ae- ton lend d spice to the programme while sailor songs in costume lead one to be- lieve he is listening to the real Jolly Jack Tar"
 The Toledo Ohio Blade has this to say about them on their recent appearance.
 An improved version of Tom, Tom, the Piper Son, was brought out in a man. ner that threw the audience into a state of good natured collapse, The singers were in d liberal mood and the number of encores equaled the original pro- gramme. "Tyrolese Hunters March, . by koschat and "Remember Now Thy Creator" a splendid sacred composition by Rhodes, were both rendered with ex- celent effect.

At the Biiou.

In the coming presentation of "The Pride of Jennico'' at the Bijou theatre all next week, with the usual matinees, a rare treat is in store for lovers of TO- mantle drama, as no expense has been spared to make this one of the most en- joyable as well as one of the most inn portant events of the theatrical year. The young romantic actor, Edward R. Nav son will appear in the principal role of Basil Jennico, supported by a large com pany of capable artists.
 This highly successful romantic drama was first produced by Daniel Frohman and ran for the greater part of a year at the Criterion theatre in New York It is based upon the chief incident in Eger- ton Castles novel of the same name and was put in it's dramatic form by Abby Sage Richardson and Grace l.. Furniss The hero, Captain Basil Jennico. Is a well born young Englishman and the favor ite of his great uncle, a doughty old war rior whose life has been spent in the mill tary service of a foreign prince, and who dying, leaves his immense estates and wealth to his nephew Basil the old man s sole injunction being that his heir shall contract an ambitious marriage. Young Jennico settles down to the enjoyment of
 
 hal. There comes within the boundaries of his domain a princess accompanied by her maid. A girlish fancy prompts the princess to masquerade as the maid and to pretend that that young woman is really the princess.
 Basil makes love to the woman whom he supposes to be of royal birth, and an engagement Is made between them The bride-to-be insists upon the utmost secrecy, and in the darlxened chapel where the marriage takes places. the sup posed maid is substituted.
 Of course Jennico Is wild with rage when he discovers the state of affairs which exists. but soon finds strange as it may seem, that he loves the little maid in waiting more than he ever did the princess, and so matters rest for a time Actually he has, of course, married the real princess. though it Is several months before he finds it out.
 Shortly after the marriage the couple have a disagreement which becomes serious quarrel, when Jennico taunts the bride with her humble station in life Then the princess leaves her husband. who goes to great lengths to recover his lost bride. His life is constantly attempt ed by the william. Prince Eugen, who also covets the royal bride. and the play works up to several superb climaxes.
 Notwithstanding the fact that this at traction has never before been offered at popular prices, the Bijou mana cement wishes to announce that there will pos tively be no advance in the regular Bjou prices for this engagement Seats are now on sale and as usual may be or- dered by telephone

 Some twenty years ago, when Wilton T.ackaye first went upon the stage. he was rehearsing a part In Paul Kauvar.' under the direction of the author, the late Steele Mackaye, who while he was admitted to be a very capable stage man ager, was considered old fashioned by the modern dramatic school During the re- hearsal, Mackaye and Lackaye had a slight dispute as to how part should be acted.
 Do you pretend to argue with me?' demanded Mackaye. magisterially. "I have been an acknowledged master of the dramatic art for twenty years"

Mild and Unexpected Retort.

From the New York Tribune.
 Senator Tillman was talking to some re- porters about the efficacy of mldness in debate.
 "One can't be too mild'' he said, and one gets on especially we'll if along with ones mildness there goes some rare and unexpected quality. To be mild and at the same time unexpected is, usually, to sue ceed.
 Here is an instance of what I mean:
 At the end of theatrical performance one man turned to another and cried in a harsh grating voice:
 Look here, you have sat on my silk hat Ii is ruined
 "The other looked at the silk hat. It was indeed a wreck. He said:
 I am sorry. This Is too bad. But, he added, 1t might have been worse
 How might it have been worseg ex- claimed the first man with an oath.
 "The answed then given was an excel lent example of mildness coupled with un- expectedness. It was:
 |" I might have sat on my own hat
