I'HE STAGE
cav New YORK.

1t did take long for the big audi
ence which went to Crum's theater
last night to make up its mind that
Gay New York" was a good show and
from that time on every one was glad
they happened to be there. "Gay New
York" is a musical comedy with more
plot than the usual musical comedy
has. The action circles around q
German tailor who gets his hat mixed
with some one else while enjoying a
little outing during his wife's absence.
Mile. Florizell, a famous dancer, gets
into the game and as the tailors wife
returns Unexpectedly the dancer is
introduced into the family as Marie
Darcy, graduate of vassar. OF course
complications are sure to follow and
do follow as matter OF course. There
are several love affairs running
through the piece and enough music
to keep things jtngling.
Harry Emerson, who takes the part
Of Herman Shultz, the German tailor,
comes pretty near being the whole
show. He is one of the best fun max
ers ever heard here and he never fail
ed to make his audience laugh. With
out apparent effort he is a good actor
and he does not have to resort to the
time worn wooden shoe class TO get
his German comedy. The principal
feminine role in the piece is taken by
Miss Lillian Hoerlein. She is a good
looking young woman who possesses
o strong soprano voice and this was
heard to advantage in Carissima, her

Hanna, Wyo., Jan. 18th (Special)-
Delays are dangerous. Don't wait I'M
til all the awful symptoms of Kidney
Disease develop in your system, and
your physician shakes his head grave
ly as he diagnoses your case. If you
suspect your kidneys, turn at once to
the great Kidney Specific-Dodd's
Kidney Pills. You can do so with
every confidence. A few of Dodd's
Kidney Pills taken in time have saved
many life. The early symptoms of
Kidney Disorder may be the forerun-
ners of Bright's Disease, Diabetes and
Dropsy. DR.. w. H. Jeffries, a resi-
dent here, tells below how he treated
an attack Of Kidney Trouble. He
says
Before l commenced taking Dodd's
Kidney Pills, l had always a tired
feeling every morning when l got out
Of my bed, and my Kidneys were in
very bad shape. There was always
dull heavy pain across my loins, and
had hard work to stoop. l took two
boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, the tired
feeling and back pains have entirely
gone, and | am now cured"

UNCONSCIOUS POISONING.
How 1t often Happens From Coffee.

Il had no idea,' writes a Duluth
man, that it was the coffee l had
been drinking all my life that was
responsible for the headaches which
were growing upon me, for the dyspep-
STA that no medicines would relieve,
and for the acute nervousness which
united me not only for work but also
Tor the most ordinary social functions.
But at last the truth dawned upon
me | forthwith babe the harmful bev-
erage a prompt farewell, ordered in
some Postum and began to use it. The
good effects Of the new food drink
were apparent within very few days.
My headaches grew less frequent,
and decreased in violence, my stom-
ach grew strong and able to digest
my food without distress of any kind,
my nervousness has gone and 1 am
able to enjoy life with my neighbors
and sleep soundly O. nights. My
physical strength and nerve power
have increased so much that can do
double the work l used to do, and
feel no undue fatigue afterwards.
This improvement set in just as
soon as the old coffee poison had so
worked out of my system as to allow
the food elements in the Postum to
get a hold to build me up again. !

and Postum alone that did all this, for

made. At friends house, after din

Moore, who was present, told some
anecdotes Of Sheridan, whereupon
Wordsworth observed that he did not
consider himself a witty poet--"in-
deed" he said, 81 do not think I was
ever witty but once in my life"
Being pressed to tell the company
what this special drollery was, the
poet said, with some hesitation: "Well

time ago at the entrance of my cot
tage at Rydal Mount, when a man &C.
costed me with the question, Pray,
sir, have you seen my wife pass hy?'
whereupon l answered, Why my
good friend, I didn't know till this
moment that you had a wife!'"

poets joke, burst into a roar of laugh
ter, which Wordsworth smilingly &C.
copied as a genuine compliment to
the br1lllancy Of his wit.

Chicago, Ill. - Neither John Al
exander Dowie, founder, nor Wilbur
Glen Voliva, present general overseer,
is given the property estimated to be
worth from S12,000,000 TO s2l 100000
in the decision handed down Friday
by Judge X. NJ. Lands. of the United
States circuit court, in the Zion City
case. Instead, Judge Lands declared
Zion City a trust estate, named John
c. Hately, member of the Chicago
board of trade, 4 receiver of the prop
ert and ordered the holding of an cleo
ton September IS when the people
of the Christian Apostolic church in
Zion City shall choose their overseer.
Judge Lands will decide later what
compensation viii be allowed for his
past services.
The nub of the courts decision is in
the ruling that contributions of pro-
perty and money given Dowie was in
trust
Judge Lands declared the convey
ance of the Zion City property by Vo-
Iva under power of attorney to John
Alexander Granger to be void. Judge
Lands quoted from writings of Dowie
to show that the latter had always
regarded the property of his church
as trust. The adjudication in the
bankruptcy proceedings was also set
aside, so that pending litigation
against Dowie may automatically be
restrained until the entire litigation
is ended. Receiver Hately's bond of
$4,000 was approved late in the af-
ternoon by the court and he went i'm
mediately to Zion City and assumed
charge of the property.
The court holds that Zion City and
its industries do not belong to Dowie,
that, while the contributors of the
funds did not express a formal de-
claration of trust, a trustwas created
and Dowie had no right to treat the
property his own.
