NEW BRIDGE PRIZES

trifling. Their purpose is for the keep
ing together of innumerable little lace
and veil pins, so necessary in the put
ting on of summer toilets. Sometimes
they are shaped as crescents, or again
as ovals; they very seldom are round.
The huppes are made simply of very
fine linen handkerchiefs, in the center
of which is fastened a round piece of
swansdown. over this the handker-
chief draws together with narrow white
satin strings. The puff part then can
be tucked under the belt, or up the
sleeve, leaving only the handkerchief
edges showing. Through the warm
days of summer they are most con-
cling. In fact, French women use them
very openly at the races and various
out of door places.
The desire to use only such things as
are tubable through the summer seems
to be we'll accentuated in the fashion

parsimony in originality is suggested
by them. 1t is now the custom to have
the prizes for each table alike. Ten

covers, of like design and color may
be distributed if there are so many
tables. The second, or consolation.

Embroidered linen hats and parasols
are chosen for prizes when the party
is small and there is but one first prize.

And since no woman's wardrobe can
boast too many of these modish things
this summer they invariably are played
for eagerly.
Embroidered linen belts are among
other womanish things that are now
given for bridge" prizes. They should,
of course, be on linen of excellent
quality, hand embroidered and made
up we'll Occasionally also this prize
is made valuable by the addition of a
handsome buckle.
That linen embroidered things are
now so much given away may partly
be accounted for by the fact that they
reign as the popular veranda fancy
work. Many nimble fingers are now
busy in their making.
1t is not to be thought, however,
that any of these confections are given
to men for prizes. Yet there has been
simplification also in providing for
the lords of creation. Books and boxes
of cigars are what they best appreciate
for prizes so long as summer lasts. In
deed, for man to have won a favored
brand of the latter, and for the woman
of high score to be presented with a
white enameled basket, perhaps dain-
tily fitted up for light sewing, pro-
duces sometimes a childish mirth sug-
gestive of boys just out of school.
Happily these dainty womans things
are not difficult to make point highly

are few

does it appear that silver pieces or
other objects dart are given as tro-
phies to winners of this imperious game.
Rather they are presented with ex-
quisitely dainty bits of linen embroid-

personal use. Sometimes so soft and
white and pink is the glow from table

to the gifts In vogue is that they are

little head cushions, already mentioned
are perhaps twelve inches long by
seven wide, and excellent examples of
the popular English cut work on linen.
This decorated outer cover of linen,
however, is adjustable over silk lin

and ribbon holding the two sides

may be laundered.

TASTE OF THE CLASSIC.
Florence Gale to Appear in Topeka
in "As You Like It.

After a season of farce comedy,
blood-curdIing melodrama and highly
colored and inconsistent romances, pas
toral plays, in lunches a la celery, to-
gether with imported and risque pro-
blem plays, it is a relief to have an op-
portunity of attending a performance
of the legitimate classic Shakespeare IN
play. The contrast between the digni-
ned legitimate Shakesperian production
and the Omelet of clap-trap melodra ma
which has been served in Topeka this
season, is too marked to need attention
called to it.
Florence Gale and a company of Sc
lected players will give a performance
OF As You Like IT. under the aus
pices of the Topeka Federation Of
clubs. at the Crawford theater next
Wednesday.
Miss Gales company is said to in
clude some of the best talent available,
and she is also said to have the origi-
No doubt the performance will be
greatly appreciated by lovers of
Shakesperian literature in Topeka. It
is to be regretted, however, that the
only place open for the company is the
Crawford theater, which is known to
be Inadequate, and to a great extent
unsafe. The play could be seen to
much better advantage by the topeka
patrons, at the Grand theater, which
is kept closed by the Crawford man.

Ernest Shutter, advance representa-
tive of Miss Gale, was in Topeka last
evening. He said:
The dominant feature of Florence
Gales acting is her method of repres-
sion of self, her subordination of the
ego, which permits one to wander in
the poets dreamland, instead of merely
watching players tricks of acting,
and listening to her vocal performance.
She uses her gifts to present Shakes
peare pure and simple, not to exploit
her own grace of movement, or music
of voice. In every art, simplicity is
the highest attainment In the acting
Of a play in which you see a player
going through wonderful contortions of
body and face, and hear him or her US
ing trick and device of vocality, rest
assured you are not witnessing the
work of true artist. Florence Gale is
simplicity and naturalness itself Her
performance of 'Rosannd' is free from
so-called acting, from artiiciality, from
staginess- She truly holds the mir
ror up to nature which Shakespeare
himself said was what the player
should aim to do

HUNTING TWO MEN.
Sheriff Lucas Hasn't Given Up the
Nickum Case.

Sheriff Lucas is looking for two men
by the names of H. NJ. Hopper and ].
c. Kopton. Both registered at the
Nickum House on the night of the muir
der OF the proprietress, Mrs. Mary
NiclEum, the former giving his address
as OsawatOmie, and the latter Kansas
City.
They were assigned to rooms Is and
is, but neither of the beds had been
disturbed during the night. Hopper
had apparently seated himself on his
bed in room Is, but other signs of any
one having slept there could not be
found. Hopper must have registered
some time during the evening and left
a call for to be awakened at o'clock
KoptOn must have come in after IL
o'clock, for one guest who came in on
the night train from Atchison, is regis
tered just before him.
Mrs. Niclxum wrote the names of
Jason Austin, f. Rodgers, Smith and
F'laherty, John Murphy, Bird and
Nyquist, Upton and Miller and Solomon
Frank Hopper, Beck and Kopton
wrote their own names. All of the
guests besides Hopper and Koptou &C
cupied their beds that night.
On Wednesday Sheriff Lucas and
County Attorney Hungate went to Osa-
watornie to see if they could find any
one by the name of Hopper. A family
by that name does reside there, but
they are hard working people, none Of
whom had been in Topeka about that
time. The officers directed no suspic-
ion against them.
No one has yet been found at Kansas
City who answers to the name of J. c.
KOpton. The police there are making
the search
The officers think that these two men
may know something about the affair
although there is no evidence against
them Their absence from their beds
during the night, looks suspicious, and
an explanation Of that feature is what
the officers would like to have. No one
saw either of the men about the house
during the evening, not even the ser
wants
Some thought mas been entertained
by the officers that Cal Heck and Carl
Croft. now in Jail for the assault and
robbery of W. F. Kunz. may have had
something to Go with the murder. They
had the two writes the names of Kop-
ton and Hopper. There is some resem-
blance- County Attorney Hungate
thinks there is a good deal. while Sheriff
Lucas has little faith in further search

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.


We hear much nowadays about helath
foods and hygienic living about vege-
| tarianism and many other fadS along
the same line.
Restaurants may be found in the
! large cities where no meat, pastry or
| coffee is served and the food crank Is
IN his glory, and arguments and the
cries galore advanced to prove that
meat was never intended for human
stomachs, and almost make us believe
that our sturdy ancestors who lived
four score years in robust health on
roast beef, pork and mutton must have
been grossly ignorant of the laws of
health
Our forefathers had other things to
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon TO
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow in mat
tiers of diet, and d mixed diet of grains
fruits and meats is undoubtedly the
best.
As compared with grains and vegeta-
bles, meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment in a highly concentrated form and
is digested and assinilated more quick
~ than vegetables and grains.
DR.. Julius Remmson on this subject
says; Nervous persons. people run down
in health and of low vitality should eat
meat and plenty of it. If the digestion
is too feeble at first it may be easilv
corrected by the regular use of Stuart's
of these excellent tablets taken after
dinner viii digest several thousand
grains of meat, eggs or other animal
food in three hours, and no matter how
weak the stomach may be- no trouble
will be experienced if a regular prac-
tice is made of using Stuart's Dvspen
STA Tablets, because they supply the
pepsin and distaste necessary to perfect
digestion, and every form of indiges
ton will be overcome by their use.
That large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure its
proper digestion. by the daily use of a
safe, harmless digestive medicine like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed of
the natural digestive principles, pepsin.
diastase, fruit acids. and salts. which
actually perform the work of digestion.
Cheap cathartic medicines. masouerad-
ing under the name of dyspepsia. cures
are useless for indigestion as they have
absolutely no effect upon the actual di-
gestion of food
Dyspepsia in all its many forms is
simply a failure of the stomach to d.
gest food, and the sensible way to solve
the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to
make daily use at meal time of a pre-
paration like Sturart's DYSPEPSIA Tab
let's. which is endorsed by the medical
profession and known to contain active
digestive principles.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at so cents for full treatment.

SEE THE sun SPOTS.
They Are Visible Through the wash
burn Telescope.

The big telescope at the Washburn
observatory reveals the large group of
sun spots which has been creating so
much comment within the past ten
days The telescope was turned on the
area of spots Thursday forenoon and
clearly revealed the grouping in addi-
ton to one spot of which no report
has thus far been made. Mr.. Blair.
an assistant in the physics depart
ment of Washburn college, made the
discovery of the additional spot.
Thus far weather conditions have
interfered with the observation and
the spots were una bic to be detected,
but yesterday the conditions were per-
feet.
The area consists of a number of
spots close together, one being very
much larger than the others. The
larger spot is some 100000 miles in
diameter The spots are supposed by
astronomers to be due to disturbances
on the surface of the sun.
The first notice of the public was
drawn to the phenomenon about ten
days ago by an observation made at
Washington.
