THE COMIC OPERA KING.

With the usual pictorial forerunners
of the new season in theatrical affairs,
the columns of certain newspapers .spe-
!cializing such things are luminous with
ihalf-tones OF chorus ladies and clown
kings. The almost exclusive subject of
the up-to-date humorists who write the
feeble things called musical comedies
is the clown king. Heaven only knows
how many of these perverted, addle-
Drained and distorted sovereigns the
public has been asked to laugh at since
Harry Brown disported himself in the
hopeless imbecility of Prince Lorenzo

That was quarter of a century ago.
lyet here we have had imbecile princes
land crazy kings as heroes of comic
opera without intermission. and all Of

the royal rainments of King Dodo
and we have heayed sigh of relief in
the fond delusion that some enterprise
ling librettist would hit upon another
type to take its place in the list Of our
regular pabulum.A but no sooner has
one clown doffed the crown than an
other takes it up. King Dodo is sue

We flatter ourselves with the notion

take account Of how one weak, silly
character that once was tolerated and

session, in esse, but we do not hesitate
to record our dissent from the theory
that because royalty in real life is
sacred, it is equally sacred in the line
Of Prince Lorenzo in comic opera.
Rather let treason unhood its fearful
countenance and sink the stiletto to
the hilt in the sides of all inane poten-
tates who shall snatch the crown from
the bald brow OF King Dodo.
We draw the line at Bompopka, re-
nouncing allegiance to that potentate
once for all, and in the most emphatic
declaration Of independence which we
are capable of recording.-Washington

Notwithstanding injury done to our
trade in cotton goods in China by the
Russian Japanese war our exports in
this line being seven million dollars less
in the last seven months, this country
has reason for congratulating Itself on
the great Increase in our exports Of do

July out of total Of sS2,9S2,O5S Of ex-
ports the value of the domestic manu-

of export manufactures was 1927 per
cent, while in July last year the per-
centage was 1884 per cent. For the sew
en- months this year the percentage Of
export manufactures was 3s.42 per cent.
while in the corresponding period last
year it was 81.ss per cent.
A notable fact also is that in the same
seven months our exports OF iron and
steel manufactures increased nearly
fourteen million dollars. Our farmers
are prospecting also and getting good
prices for their crops in the home mark

grain this year is to be large. These

Will Lecture on Radium.

Prof. Patty, we'll known cientist
will give lecture and demonstration
of liquid air, wireless telegraphy, and
radium at the First Baptist church
Tuesday evening. Press reports speak
of the entertainment as highly IN
teresting and instructive. Prof. Patty
has some of the radium and will
demonstrate it's wonderful powers.
New discoveries regarding radium
are being made frequently, and it may
eventually be used in scores of ways
beneficial to humanity. Prof. Patty IS
lecture will afford chance to see this
much discussed mineral, and to wit
ness some of the marvellous things it
does.
Radium costs over 81, 900, 900 a pound,
and it is not expected that Prof. Patty
carries a trunkful of it,. but he will
bring sufficient supply to show the
audience and to experiment with.
The following from Rev. f. A.. Hay

connection with the coming lecture:

OLD AND NEW WAY
Hyomei the Latest Scientific Discovery for
the Cure Of Catarrh.

The discovery of Hyomei has
wrought wonderful change in the
treatment Of catarrh.
Prior to three years ago the medi-
cines ordinarily employed in the cure
of this disease were nauseating drugs
and worthless tonics. In some in
stances they benefited, but the
improvement was not lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages of the throat and head a
balsamic air that goes into the
minutest cells. effectually killing all
germs and microbes of catarrh. 1t
enters the blood with the oxygen,
killing the germs in the blood, and
restores health to the whole system.
Many astonishing testimonials have
been received from those who have
been cured by Hyomei.
A complete outfit costs but s1OO,
and includes an inhaler, dropper and
sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment.
Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to doubters, is the fact
that John E. DAILY had so much faith
in Hyomei that he sells ,every
package under positive guarantee to
refund the money if it does not cure.
Now is the time to begin the use Of
Hyomei.

RUSS!A'S NAVAL RESOURCES
Much Was Learned by That Nation
in Early Days from Observ-
ing the British.

To a great extent the Russian
navy was in early days the offspring of
the British navy. 1t was on the Thames,
at Deptford, that Peter the Great
watched the process of shipbuilding and
it'was from the Thames that he set out
later for home with large body Of
workmen skilled in the use of tools to
assist him in the upbuilding of fleet to
hold Sweden in check. How strange
such an aim sounds to-day, says A. S.
Hurd, in Casters Magazine In later
times many British naval officers, Adj
mirals Elphinstone, Greig, and score
of others, were tempted into the Rus
sian service, and until recent years not
few of the ships of the Russian navy
were constructed in British yards, of
British material. and with British labor
With splendid determination the Mus
covite power has now thrown off outside
assistance, and, despite all difficulties,
has developed her resources At ST.
Petersburg she has to-day six big build
ing slips, so that six battleships or large
cruisers may be in progress at one and
the same time; Cronstadt is mainly a
repairing yard; the Baltic yard, at the
mouth Of the Neva, has been much i'm
proved and provided with a new build
ing slip since it came into the hands of
tho government few years ago; and
Libau is the new advanced base of the
Russian navy at a point in the Baltic
which is not frozen up each winter At
Sebastopol and Nicholaieff, in the Black
sea, there are good building and dock
Ing facilities, and since Vladivostock
was adopted as the far eastern base, a
splendid new dock, $50 feet long and
80 feet wide, has been constructed and
another dock is in hand, and steps are
being taken to fit Port Arthur as a
strongly defended naval base The
harbor already has one dock, with
smithy and shop. The fixed defenses
at Port Arthur have been practically
completed and the work on new dock
is already in hand.
Not many years ago Russia had to
turn to other powers for almost every
thing she required for the construction
Of her ships; but she has now rendered
herself to great extent Independent
Of outside assistance by the provision
of steel, gun and armor works. Even
her engines, which ten years since she
was obtaining largely from British
firms, she is able to produce in an in
creasing degree herself.
