his deep voice rumbled as he laid a
giant palm on the shoulder of the
younger man.
They talked for several minutes on
commonplace topics. Mr.. Hawkins
studied the face of the younger with
scrutiny which did not escape John
Burt.

First Musical Comedy.

Musical comedy was introduced into
England May 2s, 1866. Dignifed by
the name OF opera" an entertainment
called "The Cruelty of Spaniards in
Peru" was produced at the Cockpit
theater on that day. According to no
tees of the time, it was expressed by
vocal and instrumental music, and by
the art of perspective in scenery
The production also marks the first
use Of scenery on the stage, and it's
development few years later caused
Pepys to remark disparagingly, after
avisit to the serious drama, Strange
to see this house, that used to be SO
thronged, now empty since the opera
began"

some of the business.
An imitator is naturally ignorant of
food values and how to skillfully
make a cereal coffee, on scientific
lines.
Such men first think of preparing
something that looks and tastes like

Such limitations may be foisted on

attempt, then the imitators go out of
business.

JUDGE FEAGIN's DECISION.
M"cical Instruments Must Not Be
Played Near Saloon.

Judge Feagin decided yesterday morn
ing that it was a violation of the city
ordinance prohibiting the playing of muscs
cal instruments in saloons to play Az
kind of instrument on the premises of
a saloon if the music could be heard in
side the room where liquors are sold.
This question was decided at the re-
quest of Lieutenant Eagan, who reported
the fact of having found a plano play
ing in a liver. stable at the rear of
the rabbit Foot saloon at the corner of
Twenty-fourth street and Morris avenue
Friday night.
There was dance hall between the
saloon and the stable with a lattice par
titon between the piano and the hall.
The police were instructed to arrest all
persons playing instruments on or about
the premises of saloons and also to ar
rest the proprietor of the saloon per-
hitting such violation.
