far outlast a paltry twenty years, Joe Jefferson labors no more. Surely he has earned his rest. Whils he found 1t hard to tear himself away from the footlights the heavy hand of time has made his limbs feeble and the hand which so oft bore the flagon to his lips Is unsteady. It is sad to bid farewell to an actor who is all that an actor should be but Jef- ferson's multitude of friends In this and other countries hope that he may yet be spared for some years, although his ca reer on the stage is ended.
 Lexington, Kentucky IS confronted by strange state of affairs Owing to the efforts of an over-zealous Law and Order league the police nmissioners have adopted resolutions to the effect that the strictest observance Of the Sun day closing law perhaps ever demanded will be enforced and the police department will be held responsible for violations of the decree According to the present programme no papers will be printed a1- ter midnight Sunday morning. It IS ex- pected that their employees will submit to arrest and furnish bond as many times as are necessary to complete tneir labors. They will continue to work but it will be under difficulties, This LOOKS like reform run mad. Suppose such law were enforced in Birmingham ana all the huge manufacturing plants of the district were required to close promptly at 12 o'clock Saturday night? It would indeed be parlous state of affairs. But ,ol. coming to pass hereabouts. There are other reforms necessary and more ad- vantageous than the enforcement of the Sunday closing law against concerns that would be ruined thereby.
 During this year of political campaign ing it is probable that there are many | fat jobs flying around but the most delect- able and delightful, also the most desir- able that has yet been recorded has been awarded to a tall, athletic young man | named William Standen, who has just been appointed official escort of the Bryn Mawr girls. The duty of Standen i will be to accompany the girls to and l from trains and by means of arms which he will carry about his person, keep off students from Haverford who have de- cided propensity for "mashing." Is 1t possible that such an Elysian position can be held by any ordinary mortal? Surely MT. standen Is a giant in prowess, Beau Brummel in looks and chival- rous cavalier from head to foot. But with all his perfections the chances are very good that the official escort of Bryn Mawr will find himself in matrimonial harness if he is not careful. He is sub- jected to about ten times as much tempt ation as the ordinary man.
 The high price of the Missouri mule will soon make that interesting and useful | animal almost worth his weight in gold. At least he is already worth more than his weight in good oats several times over. The rise of the Missouri mule is something that Missourians can we'll point to with pride He made slow progress at first and contended against many ob- stacles but now his worth is recognized. He commands the respect of nation and what the future has in store for him is worth waiting for. P. c.

short time on their good breeding could not hide the fact that they were bored. So MT. Lehr hit upon a splendid scheme to enliven the scene.
 Several cats, of nature not too brutal. were introduced into the drawing room. Mighty Atom and his friends enjoyed themselves hugely chasing the cats under sofas and over chairs. until the dogs owners feared their treasures might en- haust themselves. Then carriages were called and the entertainment, which was really one of the seasons great suc- cesses, ended.

Sunday Work,

Work of necessity you will observe is strongly in evidence today" remarked Sunday stroller yesterday.
 First of October being the moving season you will generally notice Sunday work of preparation and alteration in business houses. Permission to perform such service on Sunday is generally granted by the mayor of the city upon application. and formal permit must be in the hands of the owner or contractor for protection against arrest by police men.
 Before obtaining this permit 1t must be shown to the mayor that there is pressing necessity for the work"

COMMENTS ON MEN AND

1HE announcement that Joe Jeffer- \CD son has retired permanently from
 the stage cannot but awaken a feeling of regret in hundreds of cities over the land where the veteran actor has appeared. Those who have seen him in his greatness can treasure in memory the perfection of his art while those who have never witnessed one of his perform ances have indeed suffered loss. There will be as great actors in the future, there are actors as great today, but there will never be another exactly like Jeff ferson. Such men are born at rare inter- vals through the centuries and when they them. Just as there is no one today who can take the place of Garrick, so it may be in after years that no one will be capable of filling the vacancy left in the ranks by Joe Jefferson. There was a quality about his acting peculiarly his own, deep sympathy, a convincing ease and a certain grace that rendered him indescribably delightful on the stage.

In "The Rivals" Lend Me Five Shillings." "The Heir-at-Law," "A Regular Fix" and other comedies he was remarkably suc- Cazcfi11 hut ha xrfIl al 6o ed as Rip Van Winkle," perhaps one of the most lovable characters known to literature, and certainly one of the most appealing ever portrayed on the stage It was in Our American Cousin" that Jefferson first established his reputation as a great comedian. This was in the year 1857 and the piece ran 14O nights In New York. Previous to that time Jeffer- son had led varied career, playing in many parts and learning in the hard school of diversity the lessons which he so aptly applied in after life.
 Rip Van Winkle'' was rewritten and re-arranged by Dion Boucicault and was first produced by Jefferson in London in September 1865. It ran more than 15t nights and was an immediate success The critics were loud in their praise oi the actor who was afterwards to be l come known all over the English speak ing world by his performances in tht play. In 1866, Jefferson re-appeared 1T New York as Rip and repeated tn, success he had achieved in England After that his career is familiar tt | nearly every one He continued to play Rip Van Wrinkle" for years and ev anywhere he was greeted with acclaim So successful was he in the part o Rip that 1t was not necessary for hin to assume new roles, an exaction that 1. demanded of nearly Ill the other actors who are famous.

The Fifteenth Circuit.

q observe that a very general mis- cision of the supreme court in holding the Lusk judiciary act as unconstitutional," said a man last night who is familiar with the proceedings of the last legis- lature.
 ''It is made to appear that all of the new circuits are knocked out by the court save the Fourteenth, which is com posed of the counties of Walker and Winston. This is incorrect, as a special bill was also passed creating the Eff teenth circuit, including the counties of Montgomery, Autauga, Chiffon and FL more. This bill was gotten through dur ing the last hours of the session, it be- ing urged at the time by the late Judge Winter, who was pressing the measure. that he wanted the bill passed because he feared the consttutionality of the Lusk bill. The Fifteenth circuit is now operating under the special act, but the constitutonality of this special act is be- ing tested in the courts on the grounds of lack of sufficient notice. Judge Sayre of Montgomery has held the bill as con stitutional, but an appeal to the supreme court has been made.
 Tt is probable that this confusion as to the special acts is caused by the time of their passage. The Fourteenth cir cult bill was passed at the first session of the legislature in January and became operative at once, whereas the Fifteenth circuit measure had a very rough route through the second session nine months later"

Special to the New York World.


 A HE waning season has become NY frightfully dull. It remained for
 Hary Lehr. who Is always full of exhilirating ideas, to revive the spirits Of the few cottagers who are left here. Even the dogs of the fashionables were yawning, full of enui. So MT. Lehr hit on the brilliant plan or celebrating the third birthday of Mrs, Lehr's small Pom- eranian dog. which, because of his size' and importance, is named Mighty Atom. Mighty Atom invited to dinner seven dogs of equal breeding and good manners. Every dog accepted the invitation, and, although rather jaded py the summers dissipations. greatly enjoyed the dinner and the entertainment which followed it. The cats which took part in the enter tainment did not enjoy 1t much
 MT. Lehr has often denied that he gave a monkey dinner last summer. But it is quite different thing to give din- ner to Mighty Atom. Mrs Lehr is in- finitely fonder of Mig..ty Atom than she could be of any monkey however we'll trained. Mighty Atom is Mrs. Lehr' s constant companion and he is seen every where with the mistress of Ardlegih. Off, ten Mighty Atom displays intelligence almost human it Is declared by his admir- CTS.
 On Monday Mrs Lehr sent out cards which read like this:

 Red was the prevailing color of the table decorations Mighty Atom. dog of the best taste, is very fond of red dahlias. and those flowers decked the board. Silver candelabra with red shades adorned the head and foot of the table and threw subdued light on Mighty Atom and his seven guests.
 Of course Mrs. Lehr's Pomeranian graced the head of the table. The seven were placed in high chairs. and behind them were seated their mattresses, who assisted five buffers in serving the del- icate menu. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish and Mrs Herman Oelrichs were two of those who thus proved their affection for their pets.
 With a few well chosen barlss Mighty Atom asked his guests to taste the veal outlets which formed the first course. The dish was delightful, and the com pany gave a quiet demonstration of its pleasure and further appetite. So frank furters were served to them. The guests devoured them with gusto after being assured that there was nothing canni- balistic in so doing. Then salads. ice cream and chocolates were placed be- fore these lucky dogs, and all were highly appreciated.
 At last, to directly honor the host a birthday cake was brought in. On it was delicately frosted Mighty Atom. the pride of Ardleigh, three years old" and three lighted handles illuminated it.

JAMES ID. DAVIS SUCCESSFUL.
Induced DIR. Howard Company TO Make
Special Price.

After great deal of effort and cores
pondence, James d. Davis the popular
druggist, has succeeded in getting the
DIR. Howard Co. to make special half
price introductory offer on the regular
fl ifty- cent size of their celebrated specific
for the cure of constipation and dyspep.
sia.
This medicine is recent discovery for
the cure of all diseases OF the stomach and
bowels. 1t not only gives quick relief,
but it makes permanent cures.
DR.. Howard's specific has been so re
markably successful in curing constipa-
ton, dyspepsia and all liver troubles, that
Mr.. Davis is willing TO return the price
paid in every case where it does not give
relief
The old fashioned idea of dosing with
mineral waters, cathartic pills or harsh
purgatves will soon be a thing of the
past. The best physicians are plescrib-
ing DR.. Howards specific because it re-
ally gives the desired results and on ac-
count of the small and pleasant dose that
is needed.
