The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out Corbett
was @ revelation 20 the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
Knockout blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but II a scientific man
had told one Of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region Of
the stomach, he'd have laughed at him
for an gnoramus. Dr. Pierce Is bringing

Railroad employees all over the west have

Mr. Tim Murphy comes 70 Omaha for the
first time In several seasons with a play
that is really worth his while. This Of
course bars the revival Of David Garrick.'
That genial classic is always excepted, but
It means "A Corner in Coffee" and other
unworthy ventures of this actor OF real
merit "Old Innocence" gives him an out
let for his quaint and droll expressions. his
personality, that no other OF mis- recent
plays have. afforded. and i'm Il we see the
Tim Murphy who has won an abiding place
in every heart that enjoys real humor
blended with sympathetic pathos and un-
mixed with bitterness in any way. As
Jason Green Mr.. Murphy gives us the
character Of a kindly old man., whose big
heart takes in al the world. and whose
nature will not let him be at peace while
a case OF unreleved suffering is within
his ken He is imposed upon most shame
fully, but he manages to keep himself
sweet and clean Of mind and heart in spite
Of this. It is altogether a loveable chsrac-
ter, and. in its delineation Mr.. Murphy gets
plenty of chance for his talent as a
comedian. s... s#.-
Set over against the credulous generosity
OF Jason Green is the worldly VISIONS and
tightfistedness of his brother Flint Green.
This man is al the opposite pole from the
genial old duffer, whose pits. gave ere
charity began" "They can't fool me" is
his motto, and no claim of kindred or plea
of misery can move him. He is Flint by
name and adamsnt by nature. The con-
trast between the two brothers is great.
and is set out most strikingly by the
fidelity with which Mr. Cooper plays the
part of the hard-hearted one. Miss Sherrod
is happily situated in the cast as the young
wife of the kindly old man-in whom she
believes fully and with whom she sympa-
thlzes perfectly. although she does try to
save him from some of the impositions
practiced upon him. Miss whitfield, as the
daughter, plays a charming ingenue role
with grace and glrllsh interest. Others in
the cast assist in carrying the comedy
along its pleasant way and altogether the
result is "A delight.
Mr.. Murphy was greeted last night by the
largest audience he has faced in Omaha
/ for long time, and was given a cordial
( reception. The play was much enjoyed,
and the people very freely expressed their
/ appreciation by applause.

Margaret Wycherly is furnishing patrons
of the Orpheum with a remarkable evidence
of her versatility this week. In the course
of a rather short one-act play she appears
in six widely different characters 1t would

drunken husband; defending herself from
a brutal attack she stabs and kills him.
Then she tries TO conceal her guilt, and by
turn is a servant girl, a crippled daughter,
a Casino fairy" a French chauffeur a
senile old woman and again the wife.
In the final scene Miss Wycherly rises to
a genuine height, pleading her case with
the detective who has run her down.

"At the white Horse Tavern" at the

Another of those delightful comedies
whose action borders at time on the far
cical and which never tire. is being offered
at the Burwood this week. and in way
that brings out new capacities of the
Woodward Stock company. Mr.. schoheld
is getting his chance this week, and is
fully improving It. As the irascible and
/ self-spfficent Berlin maker Of lamps he is
given low comedy part that is we'll in
his line. and from which he extracts an
I immense amount OF fun without departure
from legitimate ways. Grant Simpson
| shares with him in a measure having a
/ role that permits him to add a great deal
to the general sum of the merriment Miss

| fessor and who hsps, again proves her
| capablity. John Davies gets fine chance

| He has imagined fine character, that of
a mind that is not spoiled by worldly cons
/ slderations, and a nature that can rise
superior to poverty's limitations. 1t is one
of his best creations.

head walter at the White Horse tavern,

THE FAMILY BOOK.
FLGce 1T Falls IN Marriage FOrmaLi-
ties az France.

Paris, July s.
good deal OF publicity has been lately given
III Faris to young couple who circumvented
famiiy opposition to their union by contracting
a surprise marriage in a Montmartre church
These willy young people showed, as a matter OF
fact, an exceptional acquaintance with the
french canon law in the way they carried their
point They called together at the church and
asked for a minutes conversation with the
vicar After few remarks which put the
worthy priest of his guard. they each in turn
declared their wish to take the other in lawful
Wediock, recting their full names, ages and
civil status. Two witnesses were present. and.
according to the regulations Of the Council OF
Trent these two persons are lawfully and firm
ly welded Yet their situation in the French
state is wholly irregular since the state recog-
nizes only the civil marriage. Now, to the
civil marriage the consent of the parents on
both sides is indispensable, and the two persons
IN question were unable to procure this consent
Hence their Gretna Green elopement So the
fact remains that this bride is in an anomalous
position She is. according to the civil law, no
wife; she has no Family Book"
To foreign eyes this family book in its homely
brown paper cover. is the quaintest product of
the French Republic. For all its unassuming
appearance, it is a talisman Of which it be-
hooves the bride to take the utmost care since
she will require it's testimony at every turn in
her career. 1t combines the birth and marriage
certificates OF the pair, and is to contain faith
ful chronicle Of the successive family events
which may follow the ceremony
A paternal government provides in this little
brown pamphlet spaces to serve as birth certif-
Gates for ten children. Not that the French
Republic expects any Of its citizens to have ten
children; it knows better, and is thankful if it
is allowed the privilege of certifying to the birth
OF one STILL 1t gives young couple a chance,
and after the page devoted to the setting forth
Of the date and place Of birth Of the pair with
the names and condition of their parents the
Family Book is stamped with the seal Of the re-
public and passes to the provision for and con-
sideration OF what it makes no difficulty in set
New-York tribune., 1906-07-22

nng forth as the principal object in the life OF
faithful republican, namely. that of helping to
bring up the birth rate OF France.
1t must be said that with the strong hint
given by the Family Book a bride should feel
cheap, indeed, If she neglects to make use Of at
least some of the neat little birth certificate
blanks handed TO her by the affable Mayor
when he has ended his little homily and at
tested the signatures on her wedding day The
eight pages which follow on these blanks con-
tain the fullest and cearest directions for a
young mother when wrestling with the first es-
tablishment of her nursery. They should, in
fact be good since they were drawn up by the
French Academy Of Medicine itself, and what
that learned body does not know on the sub
ject is not worth learning
The Family Book plunges straight into the
question Of diet. The artificial feeding Of chill
dren or feeding by wet nurses generally far
from the eye of the mother Of the infant, has
been for centuries the curse Of the country. The
first section OF the Family Book, therefore.
points out to the young mother the importance
OF bringing up her child herself. 1t also enpha-
sizes the danger of allowing the infant TO sleep
in the bed of it's mother or nurse, for the Fam
lily Book is exactly the same for every woman
in the country high or low. rich poor. and
it deals with every possible danger to which in
fant life may be exposed
But it is on the subject Of the foster mother
that the Family Book wakes most eloquent
The state regulates very carefully the nursing
market-a large and busy one in France Every
child placed out to nurse by its mother in re-
turn for a monetary payment becomes forth
with the ward of the state, and the Mayor Of the
commune in which the foster mother resides is
henceforth compelled closely to overlook the
| rearing of the nursing. The Family Book is
very determined this point, and. furthermore.
places on record solemn warning against the
use Of patent foods Of whatever kind in feeding
a child who is being brought up by hand
Another interesting and instructive 'ragraph
in the brides wade mecum," which is this
Family Book deals with clothing. Every one
knows that in many departments of France
infants are swadded like mummies, and then
placed in kind Of sack and hung up the
wall OF the room. that the mother can go
about her daily work with anxiety about
| the child. To foreign eyes this kind Of wall
decoration inspires both awe and amusement
