large Audience Heard Ell,

An immense audience was out last
nirht at the Methodist church to
hear Melville D. Landon, better
known as Eli Perkins. the famous
wit, in his lecture, The Philosophy
of wit and Humor" and "Stories
Around the Stove" The auditorium
of the church was completely filled
and more than half the seats in the
big Sundey school room, in balcony
and on the first floor, were occupied.
The speaker began his lecture
about $50 o'clock. and held the
closest attention of the big crowd for
nearly two hours. 1t was easy to
see at any time that he was pleasing
his audience. The greater part of
two hours the crowd was in an up
roar of laughter. AS a fun producer
and laugh-maker he has lost but lit
tie of his former powers. The lee
ture delivered last night is the same
that Perkins has been delivering for
the past quarter of century; he
makes but few changes in it from
year to year. Occasionally through
the lecture a new joke can be dis
covered, especially if he can secure
one, either rough or mild, that will
give him an opportunity to assail
political opponent. Landon is a bit
ter partisan and one who has no good
word to speak for a political oppo-
mont Why he brings out partisan
fA, ,rrJs oh, oil
to hear we do not understand. Some
of his political jokes are very rank.
and they are always at the expense
of the leaders of one party.
However. Eli Perkins lecture is
always entertaining the first time you
hear it. He has an almost inexhaust
ible collection of jokes and very few
men know better how to tell a joke
than Eli Perkins. He keeps his hear
ers laughing from the time he be-
gins until the conclusion of his ad-
dress. The distinction he draws be-
tween wit and humor and between
ridicule and satire is very clear and
very interesting.
Eli Perkins is the last of the old
time wits. He was an associate of
Petroleum V. Nasty. Josh Billings,
The Danbury Newsman and Bill Nye
He is one of their class. All of these
are gone but Eli. and it is easy to
see that his years of usefulness on
the platform are almost over Mr..
Landon must be considerably past
60 years of age and there are many
signs of physical infirmities.
The young mems bible class of the
Methodist church, under whose aus
pices the lecture was given, is to be
congratulated upon the success of the
entertainment. A handsome amount
was realized above all expenses and
this will be used inc quipping a read
ing room. That the audience was
satisfied with the lecture there is no
| question,

"From Rags to Riches"

"From Rags to Riches" an at
traction of exceptional merit, under
the management of Robert Fulgora.
is promised for Tuesday. March IA,
at the Park opera house. From
Rags to Riches" is one of the most
successful melodramas en- tour. The
scenes of this play are laid in Great
er New York, and full advantage has
been taken of the opportunities pre-
sented for scenic display. The story
told is said to be of absorbing in
terest; the climaXes are thrillingly
realistic and the comedy uproarious;
the Characterization natural, and the
ending logical and pleasing. The
present company is said to be the
strongest that has yet been seen in
the play, and the scenic surround
ings will be realistic and elaborate,
displaying a coffee counter scene on
the Bowery. Rector's restaurant on
Long Acre square, the roof of the
Waldorf-Astoria hotel, Chinese Sans
den in Chinatown, a street in China
town and a magnificent mansion on
the Hudson river

 Ideal Helpmeets.

Mrs. Lena Osborn. chairman of tho lady board of managers of the Social and Mutual Advancement Association of the Blind in Chicago, alfree organization, is a blind woman herself She says that the life of a blind person is not the great misery that it is generally thought by seeing people. and it is the purpose of the organization to show that sven blind people may have 8 happy time of it. Mrs. Osborn says:
 'If men knew what ideal wives blind girls make the blind girls would soon be all taken. I can cook, sew. darn, and do almost anything except to venture lar from the house. I can write the or- dinary handwriting from the memory of the letters was taught 40 years ago in the public schools, We become SO sharp in our observation that we eau almost describe the appearance of the person we address"

PAPER TRADE IN TURKEY.
In 1903 $4oo,ooo Worth of tho Ar-
 ticls for Making Cigarettes Was Imported.

In the year 1903 Turkey in Europe imported paper and cardboard to the value of about $500, and cigarette pa- per to the value of $400, ,0o0 Austria and Italy were the chief sources of supply. Tho German consul at Saloniki says large quantities of all sorts of paper, including wall paper, enter that port for distribution throughout Turkey. This paper trade is in Austrian hands. Diff ferent manufacturers in Austria com- bine in sending out commercial travel ers to Turkey, one traveller showing the products of several Austrian paper mills. The German consul general at Constantinople, in report to his gov- ernment, says that Turkey is one of England's best markets for cotton yarns and cotton piece goods, taking in 1903 nearly $2,500, ,000 worth of cotton yarns and $15. 700, 900 worth of cotton piece goods. Within the last few years Italy has greatly increased her exports of cot ton textiles to Turkey and is becoming a strong competitor of England in that market. If American manufacturers of cotton goods were to give energetic and attention to the Turkish mar ket. they would probably Ind it a good one.

HOLD FUNERAL IN A TENT.
sag Canvas Put to Many Strange Uses Serves as Church to
 Mourners.

In Kendall county, H., there is 8 big canvas tent that has been made to serve Tor an odd mixture of purposes. For many years it covered regulation saw dust ring in which there were all kinds of performances by man and beast On other occasions it was made use of for revivals, and has been hauled around the country from place to place for many purposes. This year Aurora bloomed out as Chautauqua town, and the tent sheltered big audiences intent on hearing lectures, recitatiOns, and speeches from well-known takers. Music of all kinds has at odd times filled the big inclosure However, the oldest purpose to which it was ever put came when Nels o. Cassem, a well-known Kendall county man, fell from his wagon as he was driving along the pub lie highway and broke his neck. Cas- sem was well-known character, farmer who in all of that section was known as the king of the Norwegians. He was known to be worth several hun- dred thousand dollars in valuable lands. and the funeral promised to be larger than any church in Yorkville or Aurora would hold. One of the sons resorted to . unique expedient. He hired the biz tent and stretched it out on one of the beautiful meadows over which his fa- ther had roamed for so many years. and the funeral sermon was thus preached under canvas.

TORTOISE FIGHT IS FUNNY
Battle Between Shell Covered An imals May Continue Long Time
 Without Injury to Either.

"Listen," said the farmer, leaning on his hoe. From the next field came a sound of rapping. a sound as of sharp ;nocks on door. What Is that?" said the city man. "A tortoise fight" the tanner answered. Well go and see 1t. |" They made their way toward the rap- ping sound. relates the Baltimore Her. ald, and in little while they came upon two box tortoises that were fighting hard The creatures fought in strange way. They made at one another with cheir heads protruded. but. at the mo- ment of collision. each tried to use his rrout flap for shield, and the result o< this prudence was that not the heads but >nly the shells of the tortoises hurtled
 Ogether. There was bang. Then the lighters backed of and prepared for an. other round. The two men watched them till the spectacle became weari- some. Then they returned to the pota- to patch.

THAT TIRED SPRING FEELING
Which Comes to Many with the Sea- son That Should Renew
 Life and Energy.

There are certain persons to whom the advent of spring, instead of bringing sense of rejuvenescence, provides a very different sensation, says the London Lancet. The youth of the year, when nature seems to revel in growth and de- velopment, ought to give, it might be thought, to the human species, too, a sense of vigor and of the natural joyful ness of fecundity. When the birds are breaking into song and the plants into flower, poor man might also exult in life and its annual time of awakening growth. Yet to many the return of spring is only the return of vague feeling of listless languor, slack sense of fatigue that comes without labor and of weariness that is uncalled for by any unusual effort.
 To those who dwell in cities, at any rate, spring has trials that are peculiar to itself. To some extent these arise from the knowledge that abroad in the country all Is new life, refreshened vigor, and inspiring atmosphere, while in town the wonted thraldom Is en- hanced by the suspicion of these things that is gained from the trees and the plants of public parks and open spaces, where poor little bits of nature bloom only to suggest in vain all that awaits the town dweller if he could escape. It is not only dissatisfaction, though, at being unable to partake in natures gaiety that produces the feeling of which we speak; something Is due to climatic conditions.
 Who does not know the enervating sense that accompanies the first warm day of the year? We may agree with Johnson that he Is weak creature who is influenced by the weather, but if we do we must confess with the same breath that to-day most of us are weak crea- lures. If, like Johnson, we lived in more leisurely times and regaled ourselves heartily in Fleet street about the middle of the day, following the veal with comfortable discussion, maybe we, too, should be indifferent whether the sun shone or the rain fell Unfortunately. we work our nervous systems more and our alimentary organs less than did our grandparents. Inevitably we have a sensitiveness that was unknown to most of them Their fits of ''the spleen" were we'll earned, probably, by loads within the stomach. We acknowledge no such consoling cause for the ennui that often in the spring assails the town dweller. Happy he who can dispel it by week. end in the country or at the sea before his regulation summer holiday arrives.

cOPPERS BECOME A PLAGUE
Nearly $15,ooo,ooo Worth of the Coins Are in Circulation
 in England.

Many large towns in England arc, like Leeds, suffering from plague of cop- pers. The extension of tramways with half-penny fares, the use of penny-in- the-slot gas meters and automatic ma chimes, and in London the Tube railway. with its two-penny fares, have produced an enormous change of small silver coins into pennies and halfpennies, states the London Chronicle.
 Tradesmen consequently are finding themselves burdened with huge Quan- titles of coppers, and they complain that they cannot get rid of them by an ex. change for small silver. It might be thought that the royal mint had some- thing to do with this excess of coppers, but on that point the master of the mint, MT. w. c. E. Mccartney, M F.. is tm- phatic.
 ''It is not question o1 miut1ng at all, |" he said, "it is merely, a question of bank ing. If the tradesmen of Leeds, or any other town. find they have superfuity of coppers, they have only to tell their banker that if he cannot give them sil- yer in exchange they will transfer their accounts. Take the case of Leeds. Ob- viously the money has not left the town. and 1t is the. tradesmen's fault if they cannot get silver for copper"
 The mint, it may be added, always strikes more than the ordinary Quanti- ties of any particular coin for which there is an abnormal request. But there has been no excessive demand recently for coppers. The value of the bronze is- sues in 1902-the latest year for which the statistics are available-was some. what larger than in 1901, but there was also considerable increase in the value of the silver issues In 1901 the number of bronze pieces struck at the royal mint In London was 41,349,387 valued at G120,280, while in 1902 the number had risen to 45,774,S4S pieces of the value of G14S,49S. The silver coins struck in 1901 totaled 18,843,425, valued at G914,- 201. while in 1902 the figures were 26,- 270, 996, amounting in value to E937, POP. Tn his report for 1902 MT Mccartney gives the following estimate of the prob able value of the bronze coin now cir culating in the United Kingdom: Pence, E1,968,048; halfpence, G713, ,450; farth- ings, E150,190. This estimate Is based on the total issue from 1860 to 1902 in. elusive, allowing 10 per cent. as the esti- mated issued to the colonies and for coins lost or destroyed

A. FORTUNE IN A POTATO.
3uber Raised by scotchman and Sel1
 at High Price-Well-Namsd +'@ the "Eldorado." N8

No potato ever gained 90 mueh notoriety as Eldorado, raised by the famous Scottish raiser Mir. A. Findlay, of Markinch. The very aame of the variety, says the Gar dener's Magazine, was stroke of genius, for it is hardly possible that the raiser, or those who had the good fortune to secure some of the first tubers distributed, could have imagined that in 10 short a time it would change hands at such enormously high prices.
 MT. George Massey, of Spalding. was one of the very first to obtail the stock, and from him MT. Zach. ariah Gray, well-known grower Ut Everton, Sandy, purchased a stone weight for f2O. This set the ball rolling, and as MT. Findlay resolved not to further distribute ,Eidorado until the autumn of 1904, the demand for the, small stock available was doubled and trebled, and so the prices rose. Messrs. Dennis, the Covent Gar den a salesmen, and Messrs. I. Poad & Sons, of York, possessed sup. plies, and the latter firm found a purchases of four pounds at f150 per pound. This determined them to obtain further stock, and so at the Smithfield club show a mem Der of his firm found that Mir. Mas sey had limited stock for dispos al and made him an offer of q ,0OG for a stone. MT. Massey refused as he wanted f1,5O0, but eventp ally the bargain was struck at f1. 400, to the satisfaction of both parties. Subsequently MT. Mas sey sold a relatively small quan tity for f2, 900, 50 that his original . transaction brought him . vsry handsome return.

Bad Effects of Rushing"

Prof. Thomas Oliver addressing the industrial hygiene section of the sani- tary congress in Glasgow, said the sys- tenn of rushing" work introduced into Britain from America not only caused unwholesome fatigue and many acci- dents, but "predisposed the individual to i'll health and created taste for stim- ulants, unhealthful recreation and love of excitement such as was offered by theaters and music halls.'
