Pickett svrtnxs Casino,

"Humpty Dumpty." the attraction at the Pickett Springs Casino, continues to please the large audiences that fill the little playhouse nightly.
 As novelty, the performance Is pleasing after so much repertoire com panies and there are a number of meritorious points to the evenings en- tertainment. The specia1ties are far above the average seen at any summer theatre and are worth a trip to the Casino.
 Frank Williams. as "Humpty Dump ty," is an actor of excellent judgment and Is especially competent in panto- mime work. The applause given the performers last night showed clearly that the audience was well pleasd with the entertainment.
 The bill will be repeated at a matinee today and again tonight.

 Anidavits were nied yesterday with the court by Meyer L. Greil. presioens' N. J. Greil. treasurer; Leon well counsel and Isidore Well. stockhoader oS inc Amusement Company and by R. D Apperson. president and w. H. Rag land. general manager of the Traction Company.
 It Is alleged by the ofiicers of the Amusement Company and denied py tne officers of the Traction Company, that a proposition was made by MT. Apper- son that if the Traction Company was permitted to build into Electric Park further improvements of fickett Springs, the park of the Traction com pany, would cease; 1t Is shown that the contract between the Amusement Com pany and the Street Railway. provideA that the Street Railway shall furnish the myriad of electric lights that make Electric Park so conspicuous at night and that Treasurer Greil of the Amuse- ment Company said. when approached by the Traction Company omcials. that If he gave his consent to tho line of the latter company into his park It might vitiate his light contract with Richard Tiliis of the Street Railway; that thereupon the oficers of the Trac- ton Company proposed that if Mir Tillis refused to provide electric lights at the park the Traction Company would do as much as had been done by Mir. Tillis.
 Afidavits of the Amusement Com pany officials show that at two separate conferences had with Messrs Apperson and Ragland as to the Traction Com pany building a line into Electric Park. it was proposed to sell the property or the Amusement Company to the Trac- tion Company and that the negotiations were at one time near a consummatfon. The representatives of the two com panies. however, could not agree on purchase price. according to the af- fidavfts.
 It is hatly denied by the Amusement Company off1cias that they gave tneir consent to the Traction Company build ing a line Into Electric Park and 1t Is shown that when the tracks were first laid into the park formal protest was made by counsel of the Amuse- ment Company to the workmen at the park.
 officers of the Amusement Company aver that the present suit pending in the United States Court was begun solely in behalf of the Amusement Company and that the new line into the park will injure their property.
 Four lawyers, two on either side of the controversy argued the matter pe- fore Judge ones all of yesterday and the argument will be resumed this morn ing.

 HEZEKIAH'S PRAYER
 That good sovereign. Hezekiah. the twelfth king of Judah., was in the very midst of his far-reaching reforms-re- versing the evil policy of his father. both in foreign and domestic affairs. He had either witnessed the destruction or Sennacherib, or else the Assyrian inva- sion was just then impending. He was as vet without an heir to his throne. and being in the heydey of young man. hood thought of providing for a success sor seems not to have crossed his mind. At such a time the sudden announce ment of his immediate demise took of the nature of a personal and national disaster He was the last man to be spared How could reforms proceed without him? How could the desolat- ing tide of invasion be stayed If he did not stand in the fore?
 Under the circumstances the message of Isaiah to Hezekiah seems curt. Ii not cruel, Set thine house in order. for thou shalt die and not live" But the personal relations of love and confi- dence which main talned between the two men make 1t improbable that there
 
 which the message was delivered. or re- sentful in the way 1t was received
 The suffering king turned his face to the wall of his chamber He did not wish to see or be seen. He converted the intervening apace into an oratory. in which he was alone with God. There he gained a greater victory than he ever gained in counsel chamber or on bat tlefeld He sSuck the personal ele- ment from the equasion. With he self oblivion of a lofty nature he hose above the question of profit or loss to self. He was the father of his people. and how should they do if left fatherless? He could call God to witness the integ rity and self-denying record of his reign, and plead the probability that this record would be maintained to the close, to the glory of God and the welfare of the people.
 The test had been made: In the hot test crucible the unalloyed gold of the kings character had been proven. The grief-stricken prophet had not yet quite crossed the palace. courtyard af- ter delivering the dread message. when he was halted and bidden to recall it. Space will be given the kind to con- summate his reforms and defend his empire against invasion:

 The ransomed king breaks out in a hymn of praise. fmprovised after the manner of the East. which is one of the Jewels of the old Scripture. He thought he must needs go hence in the noontide of his days. His abode was plucked from above him like a shep- herds tent. He had rolled up his life as a weaver cuts the cloth from the loom. But he found himself withheld from the bottomless pit Death does not praise God. The living, the living, He praises Him"

Sealing Irons.
 City Meat Inspector H. M. Metcalf was painfully, though not seriously. injured about o'clock yesterday af- ternoon when he was struck in the forehead with a pair of sealing irons in the hands of Ben Smith. a 14-year- old negro boy, an employe of the Union Slaughter House in Stewartvilie.
 MT. Metcalf. it. seems. directed the boy to do some work and when the negro went about 1t slowly reprimand- ed him. It is said that as he ap- preached Smith, the boy struck him in the head twice with the implement and ran. The scalp was cut in two places. but neither wound is expected to give MT. Metcalf trouble.
 The police are on the lookout for the boy but at a late hour last night, he had not been caught.

His One Redeeming Trait.

He was very rich, and, as is not so
unusual as some think. he was sue
cessful in love. At last he had found
his ideal. She was gay, frivolous and
poor, and she loved the great world
and its ways. Money was an object to
her. There are many who do not diff
fer from her very widely. The day
for the wedding was set and he began
to grow careless. She did not, be-
cause she had always been so. One
day they Quarreled and she said some
things to him that set him to asking
questions of his friends. Then he
came to see her again. He was in a
bad humor.

The Best of Life.

Not till life's heat is cooled,
The headlong rush slowed to a quiet
pace,
And every purblnd passion that he ruled
Our nOiSier years, at last
Spurs us in vain, and, weary OF the
race
We care no more who loses or who
wins
All, not till all the best of life seems
The best of life begins.
To tell for only fame,
Handclappings, and the tickle gusts OF
praise,
For place or power or gold to gild a
name
Above the grave whereto
All paths will bring us, were to lose
our days;
We, on whose ears youths passing bell
has tolled.
In blowing bubbles, even as children
do,
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world widens when
lies
Broken among our childhood's toys. fol
We win to self-control!
And mail ourselves in manhood, an6
there rise
Upon us from the vast and MINDLESS
height
Those cleaner thoughts are unto tn,
soul
What stars are to the night.

ALFONSO AND HIS MOTOR CAR
King Of Spain Badly Afflicted With
the Craze.

Jerome Hart tells of the enthusiasm
shown by King Alphonso of Spain for
the automobile: "He is affected with
an acute case of motormania. He
spends most of his time, both at Ma
drid and at San Sebastian, in wildly
careering across the country in motor
cars. He owns several high-power
French automobiles, and when in
them, like Jehu the son of Nimshi,
he driveth fast and furiously. In fact,
so reckless is his driving, SO numerous
are his accidents, that the queen moth.
er recently became alarmed and urged
him to abandon his dangerous sport.
Failing in this, she got member OF
the cortes to father law imposing
limitations on the kings speed. This
did not mean limitations as to speed
on the kings highway-it meant limi.
tations on the speed of the king on the
kings highway. But this projected
law aroused the indignation of some
courtly legislators in the cortes, and
they opposed it bitterly. The king
they said, is above the law, therefore
| tc pass laws leveled at the king would
be against the law. Before this puzzle
the perplexed cortes recoiled and the
| law was not passed.
"The young king only recently sue
ceeded in so far overcoming the queen

their homes, but because of some de-
