He is one of very sue cessful manager-actors of the vaudeville stage. Although well enough off in world ly goods to retire from active part in the profession, he still pursues his former personal successes, all of which have been in association with Miss McCauley, one of the most delightful one-act players on the vaudeville stage. These clever persons are always headliners on any bill and are really the headJners of the bill this week, although the sensational feature is provided by Francelias, the Bel gian Hercules. Mir.

Pipp,' of which he is part author The piece is described by critics as a dramatic novelty that is new to the stage.

COTTON BURNED IN
 EUTAW WAREHOUSE
THE LOSS IS ESTIMATED AT FROM $75,ooo TO $1oo,ooo-FRoM 2ooo TO 5000 BALES ARE DE. STROYED.

Eutaw, October 2S-tSpecial)-A disas- trous fire occurred here today which swept away the eastern half of the Plant CTS Warehouse and Commission com pany's warehouse destroying property variousy estimated at from $75,OO0 to $1O0.0O0 In value.
 The warehouse contained from two to three thousand bales of cottbn. About 25O bales were stored In the western side of the warehouse which contained the com- press. and which was saved by the he roc efforts of the fire company, assisted by the citizens. About 300 bales on the platform and adjoining grounds were saved by citizens rolling them out of the range of the fire.
 White men coming from church to the scene of the fire joined hands with ne- groes in a desperate effort to save cot ton, much of which belongs to country people. who as yet know nathing of the confiagration. Possibly 800 bales of the cotton burned was not insuied.
 The origin of the fire is not known so far your correspondent could aseer- tain. It was discovered a short while after one of the local morning passenger trains went by, and by some it is thought that sparks from the engine ignited cot ton exposed near the track at the south eastern corner of the warehouse. From there it quickly spread we4tWard, and over the entire east side of the ware house.
 The two sides are divided by a short branch line of the railroad and on this line stood five cars, three of these cars loaded with cotton being practically de- stroyed. but by keeping them saturated with water they formed a great protec- ton to the western side of the warehouse. The Louisville Packing company lost about S225 worth of lard, and Swift & Co. lost about S25 worth of lard which was stored in the warehouse. At this hour D. m., the fire is not out but well

A Reasonable Plea
 For the Stomach
If Your Stomach Is Lacking In Digest i've Power, Why Not Help the Stom- ach Do Its Work-EspeclaIIy When 1t Costs Nothing
 To Try?

Not with drugs, but with reinforce
 nent of digestive agents, such as are
 naturally at work in the stomach? Scien.
 tifc analysis shows that digestion re-
 quires pepsin, nitrogenous ferments, anl
 the secretion of hydrochloric acid When
 your food fails to digest, it is proof posi-
 tive that some of these agents are lacking
 in your digestive apparatus.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain noth-
 ing but these natural elements necessary
 to digestion and when placed at work in
 the weak stomach and small intestnes
 supply what these organs need. They
 stimulate the gastric glands and gradually
 bring the digestive organs back to their
 normal condition.
 Stuarts Digestive Tablets have been
 subjected to critical chemical tests at
 home and abroad and are found to con-
 tain nothing but natural digestives. Chemical Laboratory. Photographic ad-

There is no secret in the preparation of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. Their con- position is commonly known among phy sicians. as is shown by the recommends ton of 10000 licensed physicians in the United States and Canada. They are the most popular of all remedies for indiges- l ton, dyspepsia. water brash, insomnia, loss of appetite. melancholia. constipatio dysenterv and kindred diseases originating | from improper dissolution and assmila- 1 ton of foods. because they are thoroughly reliable and harmless to man or child | Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are at once a safe and a powerful remedy, one grain of these tablets being strong enough tby l tesD to digest 5000 grains of steak, eggs and other foods.

Otis Skinner in ".The DueI.'

Otis Skinner's annual engagement here will be made noteworthy by the first ap- pearance of this brilliant actor in the Parisian success, "The Duel" which ran for over POO nights in Paris and 100 nights in New York. "The Duel" is the work of Henri Lavedan, who is conceded by the Paris critics to be the foremost man of letters now writing for the stage in France. "The Duel" tells an engrossing- ly interesting story. with love interest of the most ennobling nature. The central figure in the play, the Abbe Daniel, is declaring to be the most striking role in which Otis skinner has been seen during his career.

Self-Respect.

Surey one ought to have sufficient self respect to keep private concerns within their proper circle. Again. no communi- cant has right to assume the duty of the warden, and to constitute himself or herself a bureau of information to the rector. It it not the business of any communcant to prepare the rector against the supposed designs of any par ishoner who has previously made trouble and is expected to do so again. In other words. do not volunteer information to the new rector; it is apt to prejudice him against the informant, as such persons are usually to be distrusted. 1t is the wardons duty to render all necessary in formation in this respect. should the rector care for added information he will
 no doubt, make known his desire Thus we have seen that much depends upon the rector. the leader of the parish much upon the Aarons and llurs. the wardens and Xestrymen; but a very important work remains to be considered that of the army in the field. No matter how well qualified the rector may be, or how helpful the vestry and wardens. the work will inevitably fail without the hearty cooperation of the parish.
