Pneumonia In the AGED.

The melancholy death of Gen.
Wheeler proves the almost inevitable
ending of such cases. So true is this
that it is a medical aphorism that
pneumonia is the best friend of the
aged inasmuch as 1t saves them
from much of other waiting troubles.
1t was well said by his physicians that
If he were younger the favorable crisis
might have been reached. Instead,
however, the disease progressed in
spite of the most skillful treatment
and release came only with death. Fol-.
owing the rule 1t was foregone con.
clusion. The only hope was in count
ing on some reserved vitality which
at that age could not reasonably be
expected. AS usual, the final scene
was peaceful and painless one

o'connor's wit Saved Him.

Justin A. Jacobs, for many years
The city clerk Of Cambridge, used to
relate the following. as Illustrating the

In the early years of his service.
one of the duties Of this Office was the
preparation of the voting lists of the
city and the registration of new vot-
ers. One of the qualifications of a
voter was the ability to write.
One evening when his Office was
full Of men seeking registration. an
freshman, Patrick O'Connor, asked to
be registered, and was given the
usual bank, with the request that he
sign his name. This he finally did
with great effort and in an almost IL
legible manner.
One of the onlookers, seeing that
this was probably the extent of his lit.
erary accomplishments, called out:
"Mr, Jacobs, let him write your
name"
Instantly Pat looked up and replied:

There was ripple of laughter
around the Capitol when the annual

Washington's chief Of police, was
read. Major Sylvester is required by

In the report are many columns de-

"The Little Joker" "

"The Little Joker" which appeared at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night, with Arthur Dunn, the dminutive comedian, in the title role, was happily rendered throughout Every thing was carried through aeceptably and the little joker" had an original joke to set off nearly every remark.
 The play, taken as a whole, was very satisfactory but, like many shows of it's character, there are number of points which might be remedied. One deficiency musical comedy should have large chorus, one that can sing and dance. Such was not the case in "The Little Joker
 There were however. several very good individual voices i'll the company The rendition of May I?" by Miss Bessie Franklin and Mir. Oliver Holden was encored several times. Why l Love You' was also well rendered by Mir. Dunn and Miss Franklin. 'Fhe Falrest Flower in Dixie" was the biggest hit of the show. Mir. Holden, who sang the song, has pleasing tenor voice He was applauded at every appearance on the stage. Mr. Dunn's humorous per formance at the piano in the second act caused hearty laughter all over the house.
 All of the music in ',rhe Little Joker" was tuneful and new. The jokes were all new, and the play as a whole Is a very acceptable one.

"The provision limiting the issue of credit notes to 40 per cent of bond-se- cured circulation and not exceeding p per cent of capital stock is for the pur- pose of preventing any tendency by banks to sell government bonds now held to secure circulation.
