La Sale Theater, Chicago.

In Chicago plays scome and go but
1.-The Umpire" seems likely to go on
forever at the La Sale. This pleasing
musical comedy will be presented for
the two hundredth time April 6. A
handsome souvenir will be given each
woman attending that performance.
The souvenirs distributed on previous
occasions have been much sought after.
Those for the second century mark will
be both useful and ornamental.
There is no let up to 1.-THE Umpire"
The business continues to the entire
satisfaction of the management. The
"house full" sign is constantly dis
played in the box Office window and
enough people are turned away to fill
the house twice over. The piece has
taken Chicago by storm and is a
thoroughly modern and up to date play.
Cecil Lean has the leading comedy
role in the play. He is droll and anus
ing. He is surrounded by an excellent
company of players. Principally
among these:-Florence Holbrook, also
Olive Vail, Frances Kennedy, Margaret
Macdonald, Thomas Cameron, William
Robinson, Arthur Sanders, Carleton
King, johnny Fogarty and Phrynette
Ogden.
In comparison with the seating
capacity the La Sale theater is doing
more business than any other theater
in Chicago. 1t is conceded that "The
Umpire" will set new mark for length
of run in the windy city" 1t is prob
able that the piece will remain at the
La Sale the remainder OF the season.

any inducement to enlarge their COM
pensation by taking advantage of those
requiring their services.
Not small number of our consulates
are run by foreigners who act as
deputies for the men appointed to these
positions. This is especially true where
the consul has no fitness for the Office.
The requirement, therefore, that all
consular officers receiving thousand
dollars or more salary per annum shall
be American citizens is move in the
right direction.
With the examination now required
for admission to the consular service,
which the department apparently has
power to enlarge, there should be with
in the next few years marked i'm
provement in this service if the con-
sular bill becomes law, as now seems
probable. The consular service has
much to do with business interests and
should be run on business principles.
counts and to get trained
men there must be opportunity to re-
main in the service and secure promo

Ohio Assembly AdIourns.

Columbus, o., April 1.-THE Ohio
general assembly will adjourn today
until 1908, the terms of the members
having been extended as a result of
the biennial election amendment to
three years. The present general as
sembly, backed by the reform senti-
ment which swept away party lines
in the last election, has enacted many
reform measures. Among these are
the laws providing for two cent pass
enger fares; creating state railroad
commission, and providing for the reg
ulation Of freight rates; wiping out
the fee system for the payment of
county officers, and putting them on
salary basis; abolishing prison con-
tract labor, and repeating the inheri-
lance tax law The saloon tax has
been increased from $3.50 to $1,000;
local municipal option by petition. in
stead Of election, has been provided,
and a search and seizure law enacted
to aid the enforcement of the local
option laws. An important measure
In the interest Of public morals, which
was put through in the final rush of
legislation, prohibits under severe pen
alties, the posting Of indecent or Of.
fensive pictures on bill boards.

,,,pen os nrummoth Bones.

At some time in the distant past q
remarkable state Of affairs existed In
what are now the bleak arctic regions
Of Siberia. At the time Of which VIC
speak the climate must have been
comparatively mild, for thousands and
hundreds OF thousands of huge. ami
mails, mostly of the elephant type,
roamed up and down the valleys Of
what ere now frozen polar rivers. In
the midst Of their innocent happiness
q sudden and awful change came.
Some philosophers say that the earth
"feIl out of balance" and tilted thou
sands of miles to the north. Whatever
the cause, fierce winter almost instant
ly swept over the land Of the mas
todon and the mammoth and over
whelmed the great boasts In huge
snowdrifts, from which they could not
extricate themselves. In the course Of
time these huge banks Of snow were
transformed into great mountains OF
ice, and today specimens of the great
hairy mammoth may be found that
are as fresh as when they were frozen
In, thousands of years ago. In some
places along the Lena river the bluffs
ore perfect mines Of mammoth bones.

The Care of Canaries.

or cabbage, or plantain leaf, which ever
is in season. Occasionally give q piece
of bread soaked in milk; but never cake
or candy. Once week give hard boiled
egg mixed with cracker, and in moult-
ing season give it light dust of cay
enne pepper. If he has diarrhoea put
piece of rusty iron in the drinking wa
ter. If constipated the apple or lettuce
will relieve him. If troubled with lice,

OWOsSO, FRIDAY. APRIL 6. 1906
Consular Reform.

While not so important as other
measures now before congress, the
senate consular bill, which has passed
the house with some amendments and
now awaits the concurrence of the
senate, marks a step forward in the
Improvement Of our commercial rela-
tions with other countries. The con-
sular service, as distinguished from the
diplomatic service has to do with our
trade interests with foreign nations.
The Investigations and reports of con-
suls are very helpful to the mercantile
interests of the country they represent.
If intelligently made, they put business
men in touch with the needs of custom
ers abroad. In spite Of all the criticisms
of American consuls, some of them
merited, 1t is, nevertheless fact that
our consular service is the best in the
word, as shown by both British and
German testimony, the investigations
and reports of our consuls being more
thorough than those of the consuls Of
other coutries Still there is room for
Improvement and there must be con-
slant advance if we are to hold the lead.
BY the provisions of the pending
bill, the service has been classified;
all fees are to be turned into the treas
ury of the United States; salaries have
been raised in some cases to compensate
consuls for giving up their fees; COM
mercial agents have been abolished; all
consular officeys receiving one thousand
dollars or more year must be Ameri-
can citizens; and system of inspection
of consulates by agents of the depart
ment has been provided.
The bill as originally reported to the
senate gave the President authority to
assign the members of each class or
grade to duty at such posts as the in
terests of the service required, instead
of the appointments being made, as at
present, to specific posts This would
have required admission to the serv-
ice through the lower grades and pro-
motion to the higher To this provision
there was objection in both the senate
and the house. The English service is
classified as was proposed in this bill.
Yet even the English admit that we get
better results from our consular service
as now constituted than they do from
theirs This fact, together with opposi-
ton in both parties to putting the con-
sular service fully under the civil SER
vice rules, prevented the adoption of
this provision.
The consular bill, if not all that was
hoped for by the department, has
enough merit in it for congratulation.
A system OF inspection will stimulate
activity at consulates, weed out the
inefficient and bring to the attention of
the department the services of those
consuls whose aptitude and application
are deserving Of recognition. The
President has now the constitutional
right to transfer and promote to fill
vacancies With the reports Of in
spectors before him, the capable rep
resentative at foreign port may rea
sonably hope that the executive will
reward his services as opportunity oc-
ours.
The fee system has no place in our
government and least Of all in the con-
sular service. Adequate salaries should

The good st. Anthony owes scarcely
more of his fame, probably, to his
temptations than to the, association Of
his name in popular speech with dis
ease. Erysipelas, known as the "sa-
cred fire" before the eleventh century,
owes its later name of est. Anthony's
fire" to the tradition that those who in
voked the saint during a terrible cpl
demic of that time were cured. A COM
plete list of complaints thus linked
with the names of saints would be

A Famous Dwarf.

Godfrey Hudson, the famous dwarf
Of Charles l., was introduced at court
during the festivities attending the
coronation. BY an odd cOnceit he was
concealed in n cold pie, the crust of
which being removed disclosed the
dwarf fully dressed and making bis
bow to the king and queen. At the
age Of twenty he was eighteen inches
high, but before attaining the age Of
thirty he grew several inches addi-
tlonal. GeoGrey, like most dwarfs, was
OF limited intelligence, but of intense
vanity and large self conceit. 1t is as
serted by many scientific authorities
that this is characteristic of dwarfs.
