AN OLD TINE ENTERTAINER "A
Salem (Ogn.) special notes the dis
covery of an antique show bill on the
wall of an Old-time building lately
torn down, which revives pleasant
memories of one OF the greatest mono
logue and sketch entertainers who
ever walked the stage, Charles Vivian,
the author as we'll of several popular
songs OF more than national renown.
The bill is nearly third OF a century
old and announces his appearance
with several other celebrities in that
city, March 21st, 1876. Vivian-like
" Yankee Plummer," another contem-
aneous sketch artist-preferred how
ever, to travel alone, and was indeed a
whole show in himself, and never
failed to please his audience and doub.
ly please many of hia friend. who met
him after the curtain had "rung
down." at some club table, where Joy
reigned unconfined. Mr.. Vivian is
said to have been founder of the Be-
nevolent Order of Elks, in 1868, which
although not beneficiary on an insur-
ance plan, is eminently benevolent in
to its fraternal features. The men,
bership now numbers 10000 with 800
lodges, and disburses fully 100000
annually for good and welfare of the
order. Salem Lodge No. 142, has had
the relic framed and hung on the
walls OF their lodge-room, with appro-
pirate ceremonies. Charles Vivian
frequently appeared in Columbia Hall,
soon after it was built, and always to
crowded houses. at the usual price for
all first-class shows-$1.. One of his
most popular songs was presented in
character, the tread-mill song of "a
blooming convict, ye know" Vivian
died several years ago.

VARIABLE ALTI tube OF THE STAFF oE
LIFE.-Wheat this week jumped to LOT,
and it may 90 higher il the war con.
tinues. A table giving the fluctua-
uations of that important commod.
ity during the past half century, shows
that the present price is by no means
exceptional. In 1867, wheat attained
the monumental price OF 2.S5. In
1864, 2.26 was attained and in 1869
2.20, prices that have never been ap-
proximated, till the corner in 1888, by
Hutchinson, whom the price flew to
zoo. The Letter corner in 1898 sent
the price to 1856.

AN ELIXIR FOUND BY ANOTHER

discovered a salt solution, that will
restore life after the heart has ceased
beating several minutes. So far, he
has experimental only on cats, and it
may not prove a fair test with other
forms OF animal life, as the cat is sup
posed and generally admitted to have
a plurality Of lives, and instead Of re-
suscitation it may have been only call
ing forth another OF these resurrection
airy attributes pertaining to feline ex-
istence. Seriously though, the fluid
is said to be an entirely new combina-
ton OF elements. While hitherto
known to be stimulents, their combi-
nation is said to be entirely new.
Five per cent. is common salt solu-
ton extract from the suprarenal

three per cent. Of orchitic fluid and
strychnine are the other elements, the
quantity OF the latter varying accord

The injection, instead OF being into a
vein, is in the sub-arachnoid in the
spinal column. The cerebro.spinal
fluid is removed with q needle and in
its place is put the solution. Its ef.
feet goes directly to the vital center OF
the brain and thence to the heart. If
the fluid can be made to work on

piled to human life and its effect be
to set the machinery in operation for

have discovered something that equals
the ambition of Ponce de Leon.

CHINAMEN INVADE TACOMA.-Grad-

way back into business at Tacoma.
About Is years ago all Cinnamon
were forcibly driven from that city,
and for many years afterwards the
yellow plague gave that place a wide

store and a tailoring establishment
have since appeared and few domes-
tics have been employed, but as rule,
very little encouragement has been
given them, and their presence, 1t was
shown, was only an act OF extreme
liberation. Within the past few weeks,
however, the Hong Kong restaurant
