TheStage

Last week Lafayette was
favored with two unusually good
plays, The Woman Halter and
Buster Brown. The first show
ed Saturday night and was very
satisfactory to all present.
There was enough plot to make
it interesting and a whole lot Of
fun to make it highly enjoyable.
A fair attendance was present,
but had the real quality of the
show been appreciated there
would have been a considerably
larger number on hand to laugh
and have a good time.
Buster Brown drew a big
house Sunday. night and was
quite satisfactory. There wasn't
much plot to the play, but there
was a whole lot of fun and some
excellent singing, drilling and
other entertaining things to
to make one forget all about a
plot or even think of one as me-
cessary. Those who saw Buster
will vote him a very precocious
youngster and hope that he may
drift down this way again and do
some new stunts for US.

and her own Company from the
Theatre Sarah Bernhardt in
Paris which, is now announced,
will be given at the Greenwall
Theatre, New Orleans, the week
of Sunday, March Is, 1906.
Bernhardt is undeniably the
greatest actress of her time. In
France she has presented
through many peerless seasons
of undiminished achievements all
the best traditions of its stage.

What Women Will Do.

While much of the simplicity
of Charles Dickens was lost in
the play What Women Will Do
a play founded on the novelist's
David Copperfield", which
opened at the Park yesterday
for a three day engagement,
Harry Jackson, who is re-
sponsible for the dramatized
version, succeeded in getting
much of the true color on the
stage. The show was pleasing
from start to finish to the Park
patrons.
David Copperfeld, the hero of
the play, is little more than a
supernumery in the play, the
real action being a distinct sort
of villain, Ham Peggotty, the
rough young fisherman in love
with Emily, the innocent young
woman and forsakes him for the
promises of Steerforth when he
is strangled to death by Ham
Peggotty during a storm off the
coast of YARMOUTH. with a few
other scenes, in which Dickens
story is deserted giving the play
the true melodramatic flavor.
4. Micawber, waiting for some
thing to turn up. as played by
Harry Jackson,is just as helpless
as in the story, with a high
opinion OF his own ability, and a
proper regard for the Micawber
charity and his heart of gold. and
the sneaking Uriah Heap ever so
humble, who. during the final
scene is foiled in true Sherlock
Homes fashion by Micawber, is
presented with the touch of the
original. The scenic effects of
the show are good, and the parts
well played. The show is one
that will please the Park Theatre
patrons, as was demonstrated by
the applause yesterday afternoon
and last night. Jefferson Theatre

Students of Industrial Required
to Abstain from Its Use On
or OFF the Grounds.

President Stephens, of the
Industrial Institute, announced
last Wednesday that at a faculty
meeting it had been decided to
prohibit the use of tobacco ON or
off the grounds by the students.
Everybody who has given any
attention to the subject knows
that the use of tobacco by young
boys and even the older ones, is
very injurious to them both
physically and mentally. and it is
to be hoped for the benefit of
the students themselves that
they will strictly observe the
rule and assist the faculty in
every way in the matter.
The cigarette habit is doing a
great deal of harm in Lafayette
as well as elsewhere. Every
morning small boys on their way
to school may be seen smoking
cigarettes, yet no one seems to
make any effort to stop it. al
though every one of those small
cigarette smokers is laying up a
weakened mind and diseased
body for the future. It GER
tainly would be kindness to the
children to break them of the
habit and a great gain to society,
for who knows how many bril-
liantly endowed minds and how
many excellent constitutions
have been ruined by children
using tobacco in their immature
years. A Cincinnati Judge
rightfully sent a man to the
workhouse for giving a small
boy a cigar to smoke.
DR.. Stephens and his faculty
have the good wishes of all those
who really have the welfare of
the boys at heart.

New Train on 2Ist.

The new train from Houston
to Lafayette which was an
nounced last week will be put on
on the 21st unless something
arises to change present plans.
It will leave Lafayette at about
7:15 a. m, and arrive in Lafayette
at about 600 p. m. The new
service will be a great conven-
fence and it is certainly to be
hoped that it will receive suffi-
Gent patronage to justify the
company in continuing it as a
permanent train.

PLAN FOR HOSPITAL
AT GRANTS PASS
Physicians and Business Men viii
Cooperate to Establish q Lar
ger and Better Hospital.

That is there is need and an opeu
ing in Southern Oregon for hospital
is proven by the success that has at
tended the small beginning of hos.
pital that has been maintained in this
city for the past year. At no time
has the Grants Pass Hospital been
without patients and many most
difficult operations have been per-
formed, yet not a death has followed
an operation. The service at this hos
pital has been quite the equal had at
the best city hospitals and the charges
have been less than is often made in
the cities for similar operations. But
the special advantages of hospital
in Southern Oregon las been the saw
ing in expense it makes to those who
require its services. To send a pa
tient to Portland or San Francisco
costs from $50 to 800 for usually au
attendent or a physician has to 20
along. Then if relative accompanies
the sick person the cost of living and
other expenses are larger in the large
city than in a town. Already the
Grants Pass Hospital has saved a very
large sum of money to the residents
of Southern Oregon.
1t having been demonstrated that a
hospital is success and can be made
permanent institution in Grants
Pass it is now the intention of several
of the leading physicians aud business
men of the city to put the Grants
Pass Hospital on more solid finan-
oial basis. To that end it will be in
corporated and the public will be
asked to take stock in the company.
A tract of land convenient to the CITY
and suitably located will be pur-
chased and section of what can be
made into fine hospital building
will be erected. The determination
is to keep the venture on safe fnan-
cial basis and not undertake more
than what can be carried out with the
means at hand A committee of bust
ness men will call on the citizens of
Grants Pass next week and it is ex-
pected that every property holder and
everyone interested in the welfare and
upbuilding Of the city and in the es-
tablishment of a most worthy public
institution will take one or more
shares of stock.

To make pants last, make the coat

they are thinner in hot weather and

weather without suspenders, but. a
dog can. Men sometimes make, mis-.

she in a mist of muslin, and manifestly she was
grateful to Reeve for having arrived. This she
demonstrated by giving him hour of id1eness

the canoe and next forenoon inviting him prettily
to go to Hoen Manor that evening to ball.
Hoen Manor was the great house that looked like
man-o'-war out for a walk which Reeve had noted
as he walked to the farm and he had an instant
vision Of stuffy crowded with the white
frocks of half the smart countryside, and promptly
