LEW DoCKsTADER.

Lew Dockstader, whose musical band will oust the Stock company from Polls next Tuesday, evening and occupy the stage of that theater for one night declares that old time minstrelsy Is not to be reckoned in the same class with the modern blackface offering. Without wish ing to detract in the slightest from the famous minstrel performances of the past" said Lew recently, "it can be honestly stated that there is no comparison between minstrelsy of to-day and minstrelsy of other years. It is very much like the presentation of the Shakespearian drama without scenery in the olden time as con- trasted with the sunptuous and su- perb presentations of the great bard's plays to-day. It Is naturally source of pride to me that my minstrel com pany should be the only one in this or any other country to play the first class theaters, where my engage ments are apt to be sandwiched in between an engagement of the Soth- ern-Marlowe company, or Maude Adams and a grand opera company. This distinction brings with 1t is pe- culiar responsibilities. for have learned that my public demands the same elaborate and artistic scenic environment of my acts that they do of the big productions of the drama, This has brought about the great change from the presentation of the minstrel acts in the past. The stage settings to-day must be beautiful, ar- tistic and picturesque. The same scene painter and builder who did most of the work for 'Ben-Hur' are preparing mine for the coming sea- son. The costuming must be as rich, elegant and tasteful as that of the biggest operatic productions and all the details of electric lighting and stage properties must be up to the same high standard. My company. all told, numbers seventy-five persons. sixty-five of whom are engaged in the actual performance. The minstrel of old would undoubtedly shudder at the enormous expense suggested by such an organization and would scarcely credit the fact that such a company could be managed with profit" Prices are 25. 50, 75 cents, S1 and s1.50. Sale of seats Monday. Telephone 116. No free list.

Months in Advance Of Cere-

Wabash, Ind, Dec. 23.-(Spl) THE
Rev. A. S. Preston, pastor of the First
NJ. E. church of this city. one OF the
most prominent ministers in the North
Indiana conference. the well known as
a lecturer. is advocating on the pulpit
and of of it legal publication OF be-
trothals six months before the wed
ding day.
These publications, should the legis-
lature act, would be much the same
as other legal publications and would
be regulated by law the same as other
notices This, he believes would era
dictate the great evil OF sudden, all
considered weddings would do away
with Opponents and clandestine nup-
tails. Public betrothals before the
wedding day he believes is the only
solution of the present evil.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 23.-In its
efforts TO provide sufficient cars to
supply the demands of shippers on
its lines, the Pennsylvania Railroad
has paid great attention to the prob
lem of getting cars out of terminals
as rapidly as possible, for there is
where the principal delays occur. The
audit at the Baltimore terminal for
September 9th showed that the cars
sent out on that date had been in the
terminal an average of $50 days. On
October IL this was reduced to 6.99
and on October is to 5.95 days. The

Another element which has contri-
butedto the faciliation OF movement
has been the rule that box cars shall
be loaded full, doing away with the
movement of cars regardless of tom
mage. This means a little delay to
an individual shipper, but 1t means

PACK THE PRESENTS WELL.
1t is Permissible to Put "Merry Xmas
Greeting on Packages in the
Mail.

In sending Christmas presents you
should pack well, wrap securely and
plainly address it with ink. The
name and address of the sender should
be placed on the package, SO if it is
unbelievable or the addresses not to
be found, it will be returned to the
sender if thu article is first class with
out additional postage; if it is second
third or fourth class the sender will
be notified by the postmaster from the
city in which the parcel is and post
age can be sent for it. BY doing this
it would save many Christmas pres.

In England the Christmas decora.

all be cleared away before February
2, or Candlemas day.
In France it is a common practice
to celebrate Christmas by giving an
extra ration to all domestic animals
on the theory that all creatures should
rejoice at this season.
In the fourth century, the celebra.
ton of Christmas was fixed by the
Latin church for December %. Be-

In Silesia there is suspersti lion
that a boy born on Christmas day

In old England, Plum porridge was

The custom of giving presents on
Christmas day is general throughout
the Christmas world.
James Whitcomb Riley says of
Christmas:
