rAE GOOD OLD WAY.

A severe cold or attack of la grippe
is like a fire, the sooner you combat
it the better your chances are to
oyerpower it. But few mothers in this
age are willing to do the necessary
work required to give good old
fashioned reliable treatment such as
would be administered by their grand
mothers, backed by Boschee's German
Syrup, which was always literally
used in connection with the home
treatment of colds and is still in great
er household favor than any remedy.
But even without the application of
the old-fashioned aids German Syrup
will cure severe cold in quick time.
1t will cure colds in children or grown
people. 1t relieves the congested or
gans, allays the irritation, and eff
fectiyely stops the cough. Any child
will take it. 1t is invaluable in a
household of children. Trial size bot

nounced for Burt's the last half of
this week. The Donazettis, for whom
this play was written, have been con-
tinuously before the public for fifteen
years and patrons of Burts seem to
never tire of the wonderful span of
life which is the great climax of the
play. Besides many tours Of this
country, The Span OF Life has been
seen in all the European lands where
it is equally popular.
The story told in this thrilling
drama is one of love, hatred, revenge
and duty coupled with strong melo-
dramatic climaXes and plenty of com
edy. The great thrill is found in the
third act where the Donazettis with
great dexterity and daring form them
selves into living bridge over which
the hero makes his escape from the
william and gains place OF safety.

= L.YCEUM THEATRE.

The beautiful scenic production OF
Sweet Glover, one of the last seasons
substantial successes, is playing
return date at the Lyceum beginning
Thursday matinee and continuing for
the remainder OF this week. The sue
cess attained by this production is
due To the very clever story which is
one of Farmer Holeombe, who is
grieying over the loss of his wife,
who elopes with his best friend, and
whose daughter threatens to marry
the son OF the Judas friend. The
girl is told the story and spurns the
man whose father has caused the
trouble, and marries the choice of her
father. Later she finds that the des-
pissed and discarded lover is only
an adopted son, but during the alb
sence OF her husband the son of the
william forces his way to her room,
and the husband returning at an in.
opportune moment finds her former
lover in his rooms. She is discarded,
but finally a reconciliation is effected
and the play ends happily.
Mr.. Otis B. Thayer, who created
the part of the farmer, and Miss
Gertrude Bondhill are still featured
in the cast

4 BASELESS RUMOR DENIED
French Representatives to Railway
 Congress Were Not Displeased.
They Rather Enjoyed the Free Dis- cusSiOn of the Rate Question
 Between Tart and Fish.

Washington, May 15.-Ambassador Jusserand of France. speaking on be- half of French delegates to the Inter national Railway congress. expressed deep regret oyer rumor that his countrymen were dspleased by the injection of a dis eHssion of the railroad rate ques- ton in the social functions attendant upon the congress. He has taken oc- easion to confer with all of the dele gates from France and has learned that the discussion between Secretary Taft and Stuyyesant Fish, president of the Illinois Central railroad. evoked their keen interest. They were i'm pressed particularly by the freedom with which questions of this charac- ter are discussed in America. The delegates from France were enchant- ed with the reception received in this country and with everything Amer jean, said the ambassador. That was shown by the banquet given by the French delegates to their Amer iean colleagues. At that banquet M. Marneiouls. former minister of public works in France. and personal friend of President Loubet, voiced the un- qualified gratitude of the delegates 10 the Americans. The conclusion of his speech was:
 ''In order the better to show what sign of harmony may be found in this friendly international gathering. ask you to join me in the toast which I propose to our dear and venerated president. NJ. Loubet. and to the president of the United States, who continues so happily the traditions of his great predecessors. and of whom a French writer has justly said the presence of such a man at the head es such people is gratifying to the conscience of the world"
