DR.. Savage's Eugene Field Story.

The Rev. Minot ]. Savage, on being
introduced to speak before large
Boston assembly a short time since,
told a story about Eugene Field and
vouched for its truth, because he
heard Seth Low tell it.
Field sat down at a table in a
New York restaurant and presently
was approached by voluble waiter.
who began to rapidly enumerate the
articles upon the menu-"Coffee-tea
chocolate 'eggs-beefsteak-m
chop-fishballs-hash 'n-beans," etc. Field
looked at him with fixed eye and sol
emn visage, and said with marked de-
liberation: 81 want none of these
things. All desire is one orange and
few kind words"
Now" observed DR.. Savage, 81
don't know as I can bring to you the
flavor Of an orange, but l feel sure I
can serve you with a few kind words"

Snake Coiled in Bed.

When Mr.. and Mrs. Mord Lincoln
awakened Friday morning at their
home in Midtown, on the Southern,
twenty-five miles west of New Albany,
they were startled to find a huge
blacksnake coiled at the foot of the
bed.
Lincoln kicked the reptile to the
floor, and after lively fight managed
to kill 1t by hitting 1t on the head with
chair. Mrs. Lincoln was so badly
frightened that she has since been suf-
fering from nervous prostration.
The door of the house had been left
open on account Of the heat, and it

the yard, and, finding that the foot Of
the bed afforded comfortable quarters,
coiled itself there.-Louisville Courier

Dennis Was the First One up.

About thirty years ago Dennis Nc
Carthy was a well known character in
and around Provincetown, Mass. AL
though addicted to the juice of the
grape, he was favorite with every
one. Some of his friends came to-
gether one day and decided to try and
cure him of his bad habits. They got
him when he was full seas, and little
more, over, and took him to a GENE
terry vault, where they locked him in,
thinking he would be scared out of his
drinking habit when he woke up.
The next morning Dennis woke up,
looked around him and saw all the
dead, crossed himself and said:
"Be jabers, it's the resurrection, and
I'm the first one up"

Her mother, seeing the new moon,

1t would come true. After the wish

What the Great Barlow Ministries viii
Show in Dawson Saturday Night.
The attraction at the opera house on
next Saturday night, the 18th inst,
will be j. A. Coburn's up to date
Great Barlow Minstrels.
In past seasons they have demon
strated their claim to "a clean, whole
some minstrel attraction" and for the
present season are reported as having
surpassed all former efforts in novel
features. and musical and vocal excel
lence. A splendid singing party, and
comedians who make every effort to
reach the interest and attention of
their hearers, pleasing without offense
and eliminating all coarse and ques-
tionable comedy. VAUDEVILLE and nov
city features never before seen with
this company, in fact, an entirely new
and complete programme which can
not fail to please every patron to
whom the word "minstrels' means an
evening S enjoyment, and the introduce
ton of all that is new in modern min
strelsy.
An original idea in costuming, a
departure from tipeworn conceptions
in the setting, add greatly to our
opening ensemble and the sight of an
exact fac-simile of one of our nations
mighty battle-ships in the foreground
causes a feeling of loyal and patri-
otto enthusiasm to mingle with the
pleasure OF melody and martial music.

be given in front of Davidson & Bald

of the Barlow minstrel band, under
the personal direction of Mr.. Coburn,
is too well known to require further

A COMMUNICATION.
Dawson Drug Co. Will Refund Money
IfHyomei Doesn't Cure Catarrh.

Dawson Drug Co. Will Refund Money
IfHyomei Doesn't Cure Catarrh.
To the Editor Of The News: We
have been asked recently if the adver-
tisements printed in your columns re
garding Hyomei were true, where we
offer to refund the money if this treat
ment does not cure catarrh, We wish
you would please print this letter in as
conspicuous a place as possible in
your paper, saying that we absolutely
agree to refund the money to any pur-
chaser of a Hyomei outfit if it does not
cure catarrh.
This outfit consists of an inhaler of
a convenient size to be carried in the
vest pocket so that the user can breathe
Hyomei four or five times daily.
With this is included medicine drop
per and a bottle of Hyomei. The out
fit sells for Sl.00 and is most ecOnomi-
cal treatment, for the inhaler lasts a
lifetime and there is enough Hyomel
for several weeks use, while extra
bottles can be obtained for 90 cents.
We trust this letter will settle any
do BITS thuat may have arisen as to
our willingness to refund the money
for a Hyomei outfit in case the pur-
chaser is not perfectly satisfied.
We wish to say emphaticaIly that
our guarantee on Hyomei holds good,
and we will refund the money to any
dissatisfied purchaser who simply
states that he has used the treatment
according to direction and not been
helped. Respectfully yours,
DAWSON DRUG co.

Exhibit in Dawson Thursday.
Some Of the Attractions.

The all absorbing topic of the day
seems to be, care you going to the
circus Thursday?" The answer on
every hand is, ''why, certainly" and
when one stops to reflect over the fact
that such attractions as the Pontiac
Zouaves the finest drilled soldiers in
all the world, will be here, and the
marvellous trained seals and sea lions
that can sing comic songs and play
musical instruments, and do things
that do not seem possible, and in
view of the fact that this wonderful
geological, chronological, unique and
hippodromic exhibition is the supe-
riOr of all simil ar entertainments, en-
plOying as it does more cars to trans
port it, more people to conduct its va
riOus departments, more horses, wag-
onS, larger tents and the greatest
number of performers ever amassed
under one management, it is not sur
prlslng that it is today the worlds
representative show.
Out-Of-tOwn people should come
early so as not to miss the grand
street parade that takes place at II
a. M, rain or shine. IS 1t contains five
bands, ten kinds of music in all, in
GLIDING the grand golden steam CALI
ope, a band of real Scottish bagpip-
ers, and several musical novelties
absolutely new to the American peO-
pie. There is whole caravan Of
massive carved cages, gilded chariots,
mounted knights and ladies, a score
of comical clowns, herds of elephants,
camels, midget ponies, and the finest
collection of highly bred horses ever
brought to this country. After all, the
parade is only preliminary to the
most remarkable exhibition of arenic,
hippodromic and geological marvels
ever collected by man.
