KNIFED
Coffee Knitted an Old Soldier.

An old soldier, released from coffee at
sevents swo, recovered his health and
tells about it, as follows:
Il stuck TO coffee for years although
1t knitted me again and again.
About eight years ago (as a result OF
coffee drinking which congested my
liver) 1 was taken with a very severe
attack of malariaI fever
II would apparently recover and start
about my usual work only to suffer a
relapse After this had been repeated
several times during the year I was
again taken Violently i'll.
The doctor said he had carefully
studied my case and it was either quit
eonee or die, advising me TO take Pos
tum in its place. I had always thought
coffee one Of my dearest friends, and
especially when sick, and 1 was very
much taken back by the doctors deci-
sion for hadn't suspected the coffee
drank could possibly cause my troubles
Il thought il over for a few minutes
and finally told the doctor 1 would make
the change Postum was procured for
me the same day and made according to
directions; well. I liked 1t and stuck to
IL and since then l have been a new
man. The change In health began in
few days and surprised me, and now.

Talk Of Senator's Son
For Place in Senate

BALTIMORE. Nd. June 4.-The news
Of the death Of Senator German was re-
ceived in this city with profound regret.
A persistent rumor is circulated to the
effect that Governor Warheld may ap-
point State Senator Arthur Pue German,
jr.. to succeed his father in the United
States Senate. 1t is pointed out that
such a step would once more restore
harmony in the Democratic councils of
Maryland. and that IL might. incidental
ly. be the means OF bringing a second
four-yesr term to the present chief
executive Of the State. This would be
decidedly pleasing TO the regulars" but
would be bitterly opposed by the War

this time he had squarely broken with
the man whom he had so greatly helped
to make President. for he could not go

proposals.
Cleveland was elected and German
carried his tariff fight TO the Senate.

Though the Democrats were in a

or two other mishaps of season at
whose end few people except George

at home, but as 1T IS, with society leav-

will have to console herself for rather
sparse audiences by reading the
pleasant things which nearly all the
London critics have said of her novel
performance.
One hundred and twenty-nine years
after it's production Gluck's opera
"Armide" was heard for the FIRST
time in England this week, when it
was put on at COvent Garden. The
fact is remarkable in an age which
declares that a work OF art is a
masterpiece" one day and is almost
forgotten the next. The origin OF
"Armide" is rather peculiar. Gluck
wrote it in his sixty-fourth year to
combat the criticism brought against
him by the supporters of the Italian
school that he had mo melody" and
that he made his singers ~shriek."
These charges seem simply incredible
TO a generation that has been brought
up on Wagner with his "declamatOry'
theories, which seem TO have come to
the point, in London at least, OF be-
ing adversely criticised by the adj
vance guard. In Germany itself, of
course, the great man of Bayreuth
holds his own. for he was heard
seventy-6ve times at the Berlin
Opera House during the season Of
1905 1906; but then Gluck was heard
nine times, with much smaller re-
pertoire to choose from. Gluck is
also being recognized at COvent

T ONDON, July I4.-In all prob
/ ability it will be quite lengthy
IL time before Edna May is seen
again in the United States.
And the reason for this is that the
former Belle of New York, who is
now the Belle of Mayfair. has SO
completely recaptured the hearts OF
Frohman and the Gattis, at whose
Vaudeville Theater she is now ap-
pearing. have decided to star her
there again next season instead OF
sending l1er on an American tour
What her next attraction Will be,
however, has not been settled and
hardly thought of, for The Belle OF
Mayfair" Leslie Stuart and Cosmo
Hamilton's modern setting OF the
Romeo and Juliet story, is one OF the
big draws of the year and likely TO
run we'll into the coming autumn at
all events.
A poor enough thing on the open
ing night, it has been made uncom-
monty tuneful and is played by a
May. There is not much doubt,
however, that most people who pa
tronize the Vaudeville go TO see the
American star, whose popularity IS
now quite equal to that which she
enjoyed as heroine OF the other
Belle" and it is only fair to say
that Edna May has regained her
former position here by hard and
conscientious work. After her first
big London success, it may be re-
membered, the fair singer suffered an
eclipse that at first threatened to be
permanent and which must have
caused her pretty genuine distress.
For, although her admirers had
packed the Shaftesbury for nearly a
thousand nights to see her in The
Belle" not even her presence as star
could keep the same authors Am
erican Beauty" going there for more
than a month, and thus we had an
other vivid illustration of the Shake
spearean dictum about the plays be-
ing the thing. Soon after, more

and although both of these had been
thoroughly bad plays, folk were not
wanting to declare that the singer s

her success had been more or less of
huke.
And with all respect TO her present
management, Miss May probably
owes her restored luck TO George
Edwardes, who engaged her by
permission of Charles Frohman,
after her run of ill-fortune and pro-
vided her, in Kitty Gray" Three
Little Maids" and The SCHOOLGIRL, y
with a series of parts which suited
her and gave her chance to show
what she could do No one who
saw Miss May, however, in the diff
cult part of the doll in la Poupee'
will deny that she can act, and in
The Belle of Mayfair" she gives quite
satisfactory performance of mod
ern daughter OF the Capulets. part
quite unlike that which she played
at home last year in The Catch OF

that the Hamilton-Stuart musica,
comedy will be produced by Charles
Frohman in the United States next
season, when, after a years pruning
and shaping in the metropolis, ii
should prove an attractive offering.

How Martha VEL

Reid Reception.

lVl being the only California girl
who was at the great recep-
ton given to Mrs. Nicholas Long
worth by the Whitelaw Reids in
London She also has the distinc-
ton of being the only girl there who
was not in full reception dress. That,
however, was no fault of hers. That
she went in ~tailor-made gown was
due to the failure of a railroad COM
pany to deliver her trunk from Paris.
When Miss Wellington received
her invitation to the Reid reception
she was at Leeds travelling with
friends and she at once went to Paris
and ordered as handsome confec-
ton of art as the best modistes in
Paris could supply. When it was
finished and tried on" Miss Yelling
tons friends pronounced it "a dream"
1t was completed only the day before
the reception took place and after
seeing it safely packed in her trunk
Miss Wellington and her party
rushed back to London They ar
rived there at early morn and when
it came time for Miss Wellington to
dress for the reception the gown had
not arrived. Messengers were sent
to find its whereabouts, but no trace
of it could be discovered In the
meantime the carriages were at the
door and Miss Wellington's friends
were ready and waiting in gorgeous
raiment to proceed to the reception.
She was in despair. She had only
her travelling gown and at the last
moment she decided that rather than
miss the affair she would wear it.
So in that way she went to what
was perhaps the greatest social func-
ton of the London season.
