The Democratic State Ticket.

That the ticket nominated by
the Democratic state convention
last week is the strongest that has
been placed before the people Of
Kansas for many years, is an un-
disputable fact. For evidence Of
this it is only necessary to cite the
comments of the republican press.
The Kansas City Journal says;
Senator Harris heads what will
generally be conceded to be the
strongest ticket that the Kansas
Democrats have ever placed in
the field"
The Topeka Capital says: The
Democrats put their best foot for.
ward and nominated the strongest
ticket that has been seen in Kans-
as in a good many years."
The Kansas City Times says
odd Democrats say the ticket
nominated is the most popular the
party has had since the days Of
Governor Click. Republican
politicians admit in private con
versation that the ticket has pos
sibillties."
The foregoing are OILY a few o.
the many comments heard of {
similar nature. These should
certainly stir the Democrats OIL
the state to a renewed and deter
mined effort to push this ticket tx
victory in November, and We
doubt not but the voters of thu
state will act wiseley in the mat
ter of their choice, and vote fol-

This sounds remarkable, when we
consider that the crowd the editor

tending to follow a mudslinging

to point a finger at the other man.
Nowhere. in the Democratic press

this campaign. In fact there has

HOW JAPS keep STRONG.

Such a thing as a weakling is
hardly known in Japan. The
wonderful endurance of the
Japanese soldiers and sailors in

women are we'll, happy and strong.
The reason for this, so careful
investigators tell us, is that the

the digestive system.
If they have trouble with
indigestion, heart burn, wind on

NEED VINOL

Many people inherit weak lungs which are likely to be attacked by con sumption So also are lungs weakened by disease or by a stubborn hacking cough.
 No matter what the cause, yinol strengthens weak lungs and gives one the power to throw off wasting dis eases.
 The reason that Vinol has such pow CT to heal and strengthen is because it contains, in highly concentrated form. all of the curative, medicinal and trength-creating elements of cod liver oil, actually taken from fresh cods' liv- CTS, with the useless, nauseating oil eliminated and tonic iron added.
 So sure are we of what Vinol will dc that we ask every person, in New Ha- ven suffering from weak lungs, stub born hacking coughs or any wasting disease to try Vinol on our offer to re- turn money if it fails. Hulps Corner Drug Store.

ENTERTAINMENT
Hyperion Theates.

In his play The Love Route" com ing to the Hyperion next Friday and Saturday nights, with a matinee Sat urday, Edward Peple emerges as a playwright who may with reason ask the whole public to lend him its ear. It is a far cry from "The Prince Chap to The Love Route," but as a play his later is vastly superior to his ear- Her work and has scored big success in New York and Chicago.
 The public will prefer "The Love Route,' which is an honest, direct, well knit and interesting play, destined, no doubt, to make the name of it's author better known and to add something to the reputation of the players who in- terpret it.
 Odette Tyler, the star of ''The Love Route, made her first appearance, when fourteen years old, in a panto- mime. She took the part of deaf and dumb princess-Sieba- a play of that name taken from Grimm's Fairy Tales" It was not until she made seven shirts that she was to be able to speak. In the last act she spoke one line, Harold, sweetheart, save me, and the people in the play, thinking her a witch because she had spoken, were going to burn her. Miss Tyler's old black mammy, who was in the gal lery, thinking her charge was really to be burned, cried out, Law, missy, if your mamma just knew what they were doing to you!"

MANTELL.

It Is not likely that there will ever again be reference to Shakespeare S tragedy of Richard III" in the annals of the stage without corresponding reference to Robert Mantells perform ance in the title role. His success in this character is inextricablly associ- ated with one of the real romances of what is, in spite of the halo of fancy and imagination that is thrown around ! it by lay writers, one of the most sor- did of callings.
 It is now little more than twenty years since Mantell, after hits in plays like The World and "The Romany Rye" was engaged by the late Fanny Davenport for the role of Loris Ipanoff in her production of Sardou's Fedora" His immense success in the play is a matter of history It was, of course, a woman's play, named for the chief woman character, and originally writ ten for the greatest woman on the stage, Bernhardt; but Mantell, so long as he played Loris, made of it a mans play, even against the experienced art and ripe resources of Fanny Davenport, then in her very prime as an actress of emotional characters.
 With such a start, of course, Mir. Mantell's course seemed easy and free from obstacles. He acted few other roles before he went forth as star in Tangled Lives" in 1886. Then for some years he was the leading romantic play CT of our stage.

In the beginning of 1905 the name of Robert Mantell had been well-nigh for gotten, save by those who recalled his line acting in Fedora" and the other plays named above Unexpectedly. it was announced that he had taken the Princess theater, an unpopular little bandbox, and would give New York Shakespeare. Laughter at the an nouncement was general. One bleak Fepruary night he appeared as Rich ard III. in the Princess. Even that small theater was not full; but those who were there remained till the last curtain, after which they acted very much like maniacs, remaining to insist that the star should answer some two dozen curtain calls and make a speech and then answer some more calls, etc The critics, too, caught the mania after a few nights, and devoted columns to the new tragedian. As a matter of fact, there were critics who hailed Mantell as if he were in all respects a newcomer instead of man who had had New York playgoers at his feet score of years before. The rest of the story is easy history. When he goes into New York to-day there is rush for the box office.
 MT. Mantell opens three-days en- gagement at the New Haven theater, appearing as King Lear Thursday night, othello Friday night, Hamlet at the Saturday matinee, and Richard III. Saturday night. The curtain will rise at 2 and at o'clock sharp, and late corners will not be seated until the close of the act. Seats are in good de- mand.

Interesting Papers on Early Begin
 nings Before Engineers Club.
 At the meeting of the Engineers club of the Sheffield Scientific school, to be held in Room S7, North Sheffield hall, on Friday evening at o'clock, two papers will be read on the Beginnings of the Steam Engine by Messrs. S. J. Berard and J. W. Roe.
 The first paper describes the earlier attempts to make use of steam by con lining it In closed vessels. Among these was the celebrated eolipile, a steam generator, which was put to many cu- rious uses.
 The second paper will explain two forms of pumping engines used prior to the inventions of James Watt, 1770- 179C. In spite of serious defects these pumps were extensively employed for draining mines. These papers treat of subjects of considerable historic inter- est and value as milestones in the prog ress of steam engineering.

TASTE AND OUALI1K.

 Ford Co.'s

tcT1 COsS
 The Ford company has always heen most progressive and enjoyed the high est reputation for the quality of its wares, There Is probably no other line of business that permits, without de- lection, the distinction of quality, such as the difference between an article that is real gold or so many component parts of real gold and the article com posed mostly of base metal with 1it- tie gold, though called by the same name. Take also glass and china. One-half the products the factory turns out is imperfect and sold for seconds. It is similar to the difference between a gilt-edge gold bond, as prescribed by the statutes, as a legal investment for the savings bank, and the spurious ar ticle from the lithographers press bear ing the name of pond. All these years the managers of the noted house the Ford company have adhered strictly to taste and quality, and especially in these days, when so much is sham and imitation.
 Buyers of Christmas gift who de- sire an article that is genuine, and. like Caesars wife, above suspicion. will visit this establishment, that carries the largest and handsomest stock in ifs line in all New England, outside of Boston, and deals in stock that is conceded by everyone to be far batter in quality and extent than a commu- nity of this size is usually favored with. w

Polgs New Thenter.

One of the prettiest sketches of the year holds the boards at Polis this week. Charles Mack and company, in their dainty offering Come Back to Erin" have one of the most pleasing of the quiet comedy numbers Manager Poli has given his patrons this season. Mack, who is formerly of the team of Callahan and Mack, who made "The Old Neighborhoodn famous, is the lead CT in the American incident which is the groundwork for this week head line number. Chance Is given him to introduce his bagpipe playing, which Is always delightful, and he has sur rounded himself with thoroughly ca pable company, The story is one that touches the heart, but the comedy, is never lacking in its own way. The sketch received three curtain calls last night.
 Riotous fun and comedy stunts bor- dering on the ridiculous are galore in the act of Sherman, DeForest and com pany, styled "A Jay Circus" Two rubes, looking exactly alike, furnish the chief fun while the audience, composed of twenty-five supers, looks on. The trapeze work of Maude, the unrideable mule, brings the house down when put into action.
 Barry and Halvers, late Babes in Toyland" stars, are good. Emerson and Baldwin can juggle splendidly; Gus Williams is entertaining; DuBois has an intelligent monkey and the rest of the show is thoroughly enjoyable. It will be repeated afternoon and evening for the balance of the week.
