1.-THE MAID AND THE MUMMY"
One of the Most Beautiful Of Theatrical
Attractions Coming to the Grand
Dec, Is.

The programmes of "The Maid and
the Mummy always begin by an
nouncing what kind of stage produc.
ton this one by Richard earle is
NOT. For instance, the author de-
clares that it sis neither light nor a
comic opera, neither a musical nor a
farcical comedy, neither burlesque
nor an extravaganza. "Then," he
adds, "that The Maid and the Num-
my combines some of the best quail
ties of all these various types of stage
offerings and that it is introduced
solely for the purpose of presenting
laughter, beauty and songs" AS Mr..
earle is one of the most versatile men
of the stage he knew. which were the
best points of burlesque, extrava-
ganza and musical comedy to select,
so it is not surprising that "The
Maid and the Mummy" has been so
singularly successful wherever pre-
sented. It has runs of three months
in New York, Philadelphia and Chi
csgo to it's credit, an unusual achieve
ment for musical piece.
"The story of "The Maid and the
Mummy" is told in two acts and
concerns the adventures of one
Bolivar, a theatrical property man,
who is paImed off by Washington
Stubs, an actor manager. upon DR..
Elisha Dobbings, scientist who
thinks he has discovered the elixir Of
life. Stubs has had disastrous sea-
son and at the time of the opening
of the play is selling what theatrical
properties he has left to unwary
buyers as genuine antiques. To him
the doctor comes for an Egyptian
mummy. Stubs never had num-
my, nor the wherewithal to buy one,
but the doctor has lots of cash and is
willing to pay big price for this
subject for his experiments. In his
extremity, Stubs proceeds to turn
his property man, Bolivar, into the
needed article, and Bolivar is sent, as
a genuine mummy, to the Doctor e
house. Naturally, live man is a
mummy box, especially when the live
man has to be fed surreptitiously, and
is productive of many hearty laughs.
Besides the story of the mummy
there is double love interest, that OF
the doctors daughter, Flo, for kiss
ing-crazy Brazilian, Don de Cab amos,
and that of Stubs for vivacious
actress, Trixie Evergreen. Musically
"The Maid and the Mummy" is en-
tertaining, the compositions of Mr..
Bowers being of the popular order.
There are sixteen musical numbers,
the principal ones being: "My Gaso-
line Automobile, Z" "Flo", Letters,
"Sad Experiences, "The Poster
Diversity, "Oh Gee, It's Great tc
be Crazv", my Egyptian Queen"
GA Congress of Nations in Ragtime"
"I'm So Dizzy, 81 fell in Love
with Polly" and peculiar Julia
The production is elaborate both al
regards scenery and costumes. the for.
mer being from the brushes of some Of
the best known scenic artists in the
country, and the latter being supplied
by the Klaw & Erlanger Costume
Company and by Madame Freisinger.
The company which is to present
"The Maid and the Mummy" is al
most identical as to cast as that
which helped to make it so successful
during its long run in New York.

which has been her home continuous
ly until death separated them ON Sat

Earnings of Novelists.

Authors earn much less in France
than in England. The late Sir Walter
Besant ten years ago estimated that
there were so novelists in England
who earned upward of a thousand a
year. There are now probably nearer
hundred and fifty; while in France
there are almost certainly not more
than so who make living at all. An
English novelist of standing will re-
ceive eighteeEpence on every copy of
book sold Some novelists receive
two shillings. Emile lola, who touched
high water mark in France, got
franc, which is rather less than ten
pence. Seven pence halfpenny is
considered excellent pay, and four
pence and fivepence are common.

Airs. III. might

Mrs. Pinlzham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has peculiar tonic effect on the fe-
male organism.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
ham $ Vegetable Compound after every-
thing else had failed. She writes:
" For two years I suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated the entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties.
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that | ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach. | tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. l was adj
vised 10 give Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like fine tonic, and in a
fewdays l began to enjoy and properly digest
nay food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks was a well woman. l have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement or has such record
of cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

CHURCH PEW HIS BED.
Tramp Finds Rest for His Weary
Bones in House of Worship.

The janitor of one of Portsmouth's
largest churches was given a big sur
prise Sunday morning as he stepped
into the auditorium after opening the
big front doors to allow of the usual
airing out He came face to face with
a strange and tough-looking man. At
first the janitor feared a touch of the
chills, but he finally brought himself
together and inquired of the man what
he had been doing.
The fellow said that he had been en-
5oying nights rest on the cushions
of a pew away down front. Saturday
night he was attracted to the church
by the singing of the choir during re-
hearsal. He found the door open,
walked in and sat down.
The music had that soothing effect
and the wanderer fell asleep. He knew
nothing more until daylight, when he
awoke wondering where he was at He
said that in all his life he had never
found more comfortable bed.
The janitor looked about, saw that
nothing was disturbed and then al
lowed the stranger to go-Portsmouth

When the pastor received the &C
count he complained to the joiner
about the amount, and said he could
have got a secondhand cupboard
which would have answered his pur-
pose equally well, at much less cost.
