THE MINISTER'S SON. !

Theodore Kremer, Hal Reid and the other satellites of the modern melodramatic Armament, have noth- ing on a gentleman named Patten who doped out this weeks show at the Jacques, "The Ministers Son.

 Round 2-Both parties sparring for wind. Wesley is rapidly recover ing from an uppercut delivered by | Simon the Good who tracks his sister | to the sister where he finds her il- stalled as Coles "ladi freE" in a red wig and pink tea gown, and car ries the fight to Simon who stalls

turning single and double somer- saults from shoulder to shoulder with the same agility as upon the ground, notwithstanding that the platforms are only twelve feet long and six feet in width. The tremplin is then utilized to perform some as tonishing feats. The artists spring upon the elastic canvas, and being thrown high into the air accomplish the most difficult somersaults, and finally land upon the shoulders of their companions on the end plat forms. At the climax of the act, two of the girls whirl around on the great wheels at railroad speed, and the globe, opening. unexpectedly dis closes the figure of pretty young girl. The act is not only clever, offer ing opportunities for the display of rare skill and daring, but it is also new-and that is always worth while in these days when amusement pur- veyors are too apt to be contentcd with the things that are more or less 
 Among the other odd and curious acts that are announced for the big show are the Biseras. the famous Carmen Troupe, who turn somer- saults and perform other difficult feats on, a,, high .Wire.;,, several troupes of trained animals, including sea- lions, sheep, dogs, ponies and ele- plants: Thompson's horses, which give most unique display of train ed intelligence, in harness; an aero batic act in, over and around an au- tomobile moving rapidly around the hippodrome track; the French Row flanders, who give gymnastic per- formance in tally-ho coach and up on the backs of four swiftly-running horses; Josie Demott, the only som ersault equestrienne; John Rooney, who makes somersault leaps from one horse to another. running tan dem: William DeMott, and many others. These acts, it is said, are in addition to all the usual arenic, hip podromic and geological features of the big show, which also serves to introduce a new spectacle entitled. Peace and founded upon the Rus o-Japanese war. and three entirely new sensations of such an unusual character as to excite comment and
 wonder wherever they are seen. In one of these, an automobile. guided by handsome young American girl. shoots forty feet through the air, up- side-down, and the others are de-
 scribed as almost equally sensation al.

DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

That troublesome pain In the small of the back points straight to kidney sickness. Backache will not leave of its own accord. nor will sick kidneys cure themselves. Every day of neg lect makes the cure harder.
 Inactive Kidneys cause rheumatism. neuralgia. gout. headaches. dizzy spells, nausea. indigestion. weak heart. gravel. stone in the Kidneys. dropsy and too frequent passages of urine.
 When you first feel pain In the small Of the back. or first notice anything wreng with the urine. don't delay n moment. Give the Kidneys the helr they need.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have a quick and direct action on the kidneys. They drive out the poisons that infest the blood. cleanse and stimulate the kid neys. regulate the urine. cure hack ache. dizziness and languor. and per narenfly heal the kidneys
 The best proof we can offer of the great merit of Deans Kidney Fills is tcssimonv of residents of this city who have used the remedy.

Your little elevator!
What's that?' asst. "Oh, that, -

That carries everything you eat
Clear down into your tummy!'
I'm full Of springs, Jest like a clock.

But 0nct, when I was sick, he said.

To Continue Tiu-Titsu.

Althoueh Rea. Admiral Sands. Super
iuteudcnt Of the Naval Acaedmy, has
expressed himself as doubling the value
Of Hu-jitsu in the navy, and recon-
ueuded 10 Congress last winter that
the experiment at Annapolis be aban-
doned. President Roosevelt has taken q
hand I'm the matter and has ordered
that the course Of instruction in the
Japanese art of self-defeuse be cOnJln-
ued at least another year
Japanese instructors in this exercise
were employed al Annapolis in rne falI

Rear Admiral Brownsou as superintend-

Naval Show at Newport.

The horse show, automobile parade
and other like commonplace affairs at
Newport have been entirely outclaSsed
during the past week by an almost un-
urecedented naval display, which has
resulted greatly to the enjoyment OF
the swagger society swells of both sexes
bv dispelling the ennui that had over
come them.
Early in the week Rear Admiral
Evans, in command Of the Atlantic
fleet, drew up of the shores OF the re-
sort of millionaires and diplomats with
his magnificent and decidedly imposing
battIeship squadron, headed by his own
vessel the Maine, with the admiral $
colors flying gaily in the breeze. To
make the show all the more notable the
good admiral took with him the Mis-
souri, Kentucky, Kearsarge, Alabama
Illinois, Indiana and Iowa.
That the noted admiral and his gal
liant officers were welcomed by all alike
might possibly be disputed. for as soon
as the men wearing the brass buttons
and gold braid went ashore the fair
ones had little time for any Of the old
beaus. The novelty. according TO all re-
ports, failed 10 wear of as IL usually
does in a few days when girls with ro-
mantle notions make themselves wOr-
shippers of military or naval heroes,
so the officers were in luck.
Fortunately for the officers they struck
staid old Newport at the most oppor-
tune moment. for the people had ex-
hausted almost every means of excite
ment and entertainment and had cast
their eyes out over the sea waiting for 4
new ship to come in. Then suddenly.
like Lohengrin, the white vessels of the
navy brought In whole army OF gaily
uniformed gallants, enough In number TO
