AMELIA BINGHAM
IN ROMANTIC DRAMA
COLUMBIA
"The Bostonians," Always Welcome,
Heard in 1.-The Serenade."

Heard in THE Serenade."
Each season the local public looks
forward to the annual engagement of
the Bostonians, and that event was be-
gun last night at the Columbia Theater
when the organization presented Harry
3. Smith and Victor Herbert's popular
opera. THE Serenade." A few of the
old favorites were in the cast. but the
company. in the main. is an aggregation
of new singers, some Of whom won
distinct favor and others who are in
different vocalists as well as actors.
THE Serenade" has been rightly
counted among the successes Of the
Bostonians, for it embodies much music
of the so-called popular variety. and
in many of the ensembles is worked up
to a degree of musical excellence that
Is wholly delightful to the ear and far
removed from the ordinary caliber of
light opera material.
In bringing the work again to Wash
ington the Bostonians are evidently re-
spending TO what is undoubtedly the
wish of the public. The Bostonians are
so closely associated with their old sue
cesses that a new presentation is hardly
expected. and the public is content to
so long as the organization chooses to
present these works
The audience at the Columbia last
night was manifestly made up, in the
majority, OF persons who had heard the
opera. for all the old-time airs won the
customary number OF recalls The
music is really beautiful and In many
instances the chorus sang its numbers
well, although In The Angelus'' II fail
ed TO give this gem of the opera even
an adequate Interpretation.
II the company this year are Henry
Clay Barnabee and w. H Macdonald

people as the fame OF the company
would, warrant. The feminine contin-

SPRING AND SUMMER
SHOWERS.
All Nature Points the Way.

The showers that bring forth blossoms
and make nature more beautiful often
cause untold misery to mankind IN whose
blood the poisons of the past winter have
accumulated When all nature seems to
be glad we sometimes experience our
greatest ills. The important thing is to
make this life worth while-consider each
Disappointment and ill-feeling as so much
experience and as a temporary lesson set
for US to learn. When you catch cold
suffer from indigestion or notice the skin
breaking out with pimples let this furnish
you a warning that the blood is in disorder.
Profit by the experience of others and
quickly drive the poisons from the blood
and build up the system with a reliable
reinedy-ssch as DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery which has stood the test of
time and for over third of a century has
sold more largely than any other blood
remedy. Thousands attest TO its remedial
value as witness the testimonials which
have been published for the past thirty
1--WE years.
COMMON SENSE.
No one ever takes cold unless consti-
pated, or exhausted, and having what We
cali mal-nutrition, which is attended with
impoverished blood and exhaustion of
nerve force Tonics consisting of large
portions of alcohol, iron or cod liver oil do
not bring the desired changes in the blood.
because they do not enter the system and
are not absorbed into the blood, with the
exception of the alcohol, which shrivels up
the red blood corpuscles when 1t does come
in contact with them. We recommend
this botanical extract of Dr.. Pierce be-
cause it contains no alcohol, and offers a
reasonable and scientific method of treating
the blood, by improving the nutritive func-
tons of the patient. The Golden Medical
Discovery accomplishes this, by first re-
storing the enfeebled digestive organs, so
that food, the natural tissue builder, will
be digested and assimilated. For there is
generally present in these cases, loss of
appetite and lack of sufficient nourishnent
to replenish the waste of fesh.

PLAN TO RAISE
MONEY FOR POPE
"Peter's Pence" Fails to
Yield Sufficient.
ENGLISH RACE CONTRIBUTES
Commission Appointed to Devise
Scheme to Assess Part Upon the
Latin Peoples.

Dispatches from Rome state that
commission has been appointed and
headed by the Pope to plan some means
of bringing into the Vatican treasury "a
uniform sum from Catholics all over the
world which will be devoted to the ex-
penses of the head establishment of the
Catholic church.
For years voluntary contributions
known as Peters pence" have been
sent TO Rome from Catholics who would
give whatever they could afford toward
the Vaticans support. In America each
diocese sends its collection to the Papal
dele safe at Washington. who forwards
the amount to Rome Similar customs
probably prevail in other countries, but
IT is said that France, particularly, and
Italy, Austria, and Spain have fallen off
so in the amount of their contributions
that the main support IS obtained from
America and other English-speaking
countries.
The Washington times., 1904-04-26
To Equalize Giving.

The commission which is said to have
been appointed. will devise some other
means Of bringing money into the Vati-
can treasury and so relieve the eoun-
tries which have been contributing most
from the burden of giving more than
their share. 1t is proposed TO investi-
gate the financial conditions of Catho-
lies in every country and by learning
the standing of dioceSes and institu-
tions in their limits TO exact a proper
tionate sum from them. and so even
things I'D.
Catholic clergymen In Washington
" Stsnington have heard nothing so far
OF the new commission. which includes
the names of sixteen cardinals, among
them Satolli, former papaI delegate 70
the United States. Others in the list
are Agliardi. the two Nannutellis, Ram
polla. Gottl. Ferrara. Cassetta Matthew,
Genar. Cavicchioni. Del Val. Steinhu-
Der. Segna, Wives TUte. and Cavagnis.
Mgr. Gasparri. Archbishop Of Cesnrea,
is secretary Of the commission.

As to Breakfast Foods.

The Cotton Plant says in reading
the many advertisements of cereal
foods and their wonderful virtues it is
a matter Of surprise that our ancestors
pulled through on corn bread, and the
three qualities Of flour made at the
old style mills. That was about the
extent of their cereal food. To that
they added hog meat, game, fish and
little grass fed beef in the fall Of the
year. Those prepared cereals are very
good and they taste well, but let all
remember that a pound of corn ground
at an old fashioned mill has just as
much nourishment as the pound pre-
pared in the most scientific way. The
same statement applies to wheat.
People who have money to crafty
their taste can pay Is to 20 cents a
pound for the same food value in a
Scent pound flour. Those prepared
cereals are very handy and healthful
and their use is quite common among
town people. With some of the oat
or wheat preparations one can add to
an evening meal when company sud-
denly comes in. But farmers in the
country have to depend on the pro-
ducts Of the mills and the thinking,
ingenious housekeeper can make va
riety of cakes and mullins and change
the bill of cereal fare somewhat every
dav in the week.

Criminal Statistics.

We have received the following
from the division Of vital statistics OF
the department OF commerce and Ia
Dor:
Few social questions are asked
more frequently than, what is the in
crease Of crime? The national census
bureau is seeking an answer to this
inquiry. 1t is undertaking to secure
a record Of all the persons who are
sentenced to the various jailS, peni-
tentiaries and other prisons during
the year 1904. The wardens Of the
state prisons and the Sheriffs Of the
counties are being requested to act as
special agents to report certain facts
concerning every person delivered
into their custody Some counties have
not been heard from. In some, per-
haps, there are no jails; in others,
perhaps, the local jailS are no longer
used; in still others the sheriff have
possibly neglected the matter. But
the records Of the census bureau and
the resulting statistics will not be
complete until all are heard from, and
it is hoped that the pressure OF other
business will not cause the sheriff of
any county to block this most impor-
tant inquiry" We trust that all
South Carolina officials will comply
with this request. Such statistics are
matters of general public interest and
are Of much Importance in show
ing the people their actual con-
dition as to the number Of crimes COM
mitted within their state boundaries.

A Mystery Explained.

The Retailer and Advertiser says
even the casual observer who walks
through the retail districts Of New
York during the holiday season can
scarcely fail to be impressed with the
almost phenomenal difference IN the
amount of business done in the vari-
Gus stores. He will notice that one
store seems to be constantly crowded
with customers, that the salespeople
are working to the limit of their en-
durance and that the delivery wagons
are kept busy at night and day dis
tributing the goods sold. In another
store in the same block, perhaps next
door, he will observe that there is
practically nothing doing This
store is quite as attractive as the
other store. 1t handles the same
lines and qualities Of goods, and per-
haps they come from the same man
ufactories. The prices are equally
low, and the clerks are courteous anG
attentive. But there is a much small
ler staff OF salespeople employed, and
even during the holiday rush they are
not kept busy. Why is there such a
remarkable difference? I have taken
the trouble to investigate the problem
and have made careful observations
in a dozen or more cases. I have in
variably found that the merchants
who were doing the business were good
advertisers and that the ones VINO
we're APPARENTLY receiving but little
benefit from the holiday trade made
no use Of printers ink.

Fighting Paper Trust.

The resolution Of Representative
Lilley instructing the secretary OF
commerce and labor to investigate
the hign price and scarcity OF news
print paper and the causes which
have produced these conditions, was
the subject of discussion before
the house committee on judiciary.
Don G. Seitz of the New York World,
and John Norris, business manager Of
the New York Times, were heard.
Both covered practically the same
ground in statements and the Inter
national Paper company and the Cen
eral Paper company had divided the
United States between them in the
control of the news print paper. The
international controlled all that Sec
tion east of the Indiana line and the
General company the territory west
of that line. This combination, it
was testified to, had raised the price
of news paper during the last four
years s14 a ton and during the past
year as much as S. ton; it was SELL
ing paper in London, counting the
freight and insurance, at 80 per cent.
less than it did in New York.

A Warning to All.

The Cotton Plant says the almanac
makers ought to insert this warning
the first of April: Look out for the
oily tongued agent about this time. "
Never sign any sort of paper present
ed by these sharp fellows. Do not
even write your name on the blank
page of a memorandum. Out West
one of these fellows went around
amongst the farmers ostensibly in
trouducing some machine that the
farmers were interested in. He was
not taking orders, but finding out
probable purchasers so as to have cir
culars sent by the house. For some
reason or other he could not write
and he asked the farmer to write his
name and address. He managed so
the name would be on the lower right
hand corner Of blank page in his
memorandum, which page was about
the size and shape of note. After
getting few of these signatures he
filled out bankable notes above the
signature, and then cashed them.
Look out for the agents for lightning
rods, patent churns, farming imple-
ments cooking stoves and deal very
cautiously with them. Always buy
such things from trustworthy mer-
chants and manufacturers and you
will not be cheated.

How to Advertise.

J. L. Mahlin of Mahlin's AVertising
Agency, Chicago, says there is a great
deal of talk about the mail order
houses, but do you know there is not
one of them that can honestly say
that it can sell goods cheaper than
the home merchant? 1t is not the
price that sells the goods, but the
plausible reason for the price-a
plausible statement. You merchants
can beat them out every time. Meet
them with the same kind of adveruis-
ing. The oatmeal business is an
Illustration of what can be done to
make people to buy an article they
never intended to buy. People were
opposed to oatmeal and said it was
horse feed. The manufacturer had to
present the advantages Of it's health
fulness, and he invested oatmeal with
all the desirable qualities. There is
a man in Battle Greek who, it is said,
has created a market for corncobs,
and you people pay more for your
postum cereal than you do for coffee.
a mixture of corncobs and syrup is
made valuable by virtue Of advertis-
ing. An advertisement should always
show the Individuality Of the mer-
chant who puts it out. Avoid clever
ness. An advertisement which at
tracts attention to the way it is pre-
sented instead of the article advertised
it not fulflliog its purposes. Avoid
appeal to prejudices. Don't lug in
outside matter. The secret of the
success of the Spotless Town advertls-
ing is that it never loses sight OF the
idea Of cleanliness.
