T. H. Sotherns old part, and received much ap-
plause from the large audience. The costumes were
mostly those worn in the production of the play by
Sothern and Miss Marlowe.
Miss Jessie Cochran applauded as IIuguette
du Hamel. Her death scene was especially well
liked. Guy Labare made up as q comic old
peasant. who was so fat that he could hardly walk
around the stage.
As the Barnard faculty has put a ban on drink
ing and smoking scenes being presented by the girls
the pseudo actors at first at a loss 10 know

Finally one OF them had the bright idea that if ice
cream soda was used the faculty really couldn't
offer any objections. The result was that voster-
day, instead OF drinking making believe that tov
were drinking wine, the actors drank soda water
The fight at the end of the first act between
Francois Villon and Thibaut d'Aussigny was the
most stirring and hair-raisng action in the whole
performance. After several vicious passes and
lunges, Vilon finally managed to wound his ad-
versary. The whole scene was given in true Row
cry melodramatic style
The Queen was pretty and regal, as all queens
should be- but she did not have a word 10 SOW

The return Of Villon proved particularly pleasing
to the audience. The stage of the theatre accom-

AFTERMATH,

Reports from the country at large
Indicate that the recent Fourth was
not as safe and sane as it might have
| been without damage to the body
polite. Here in Topeka the 'celebra-
ton was the most peaceful of recent
years-and little Johnnie had just as
much fun as usual-but other locali-
ties were as unsafe and insane as ever.
The Chicago Tribune has a policy
of counting the dead and wounded
after each Fourth of July celebration.
After the preliminary returns were in
on Thursday night it listed 81 dead
and 2,153 injured as a result of the
days enthusiasm. OF course these fig
ures were incomplete, but even at that
they showed five more killed than
were killed last year, although the
number of wounded was less this year.
New York heads the list in number
of lives sacrificed in the celebration.
There were ten fatalities there, while
in Pittsburg there was just one less.
These two cities together supplied ov-
err one-half of all the fatalities report
ed on the night of the Fourth, show
ing that those cities are famous for
other things besides millionaires and
chorus girls.
Topeka has reason to rejoice at the
sanity that prevailed here. There
were few accidents at ALL and no Sc
rious ones. The ordinance against
certain classes of explosives was reas-
onably well observed. although one
special policeman fired a revolver in
an attempt to arrest boy with a toy
cannon or some such weapon. Just
what business a special officer. whose
duty II is to suppress the small boy
and pistol combination. has with a
loaded revolver is not clear. Such an
officer also needs suppressing.

Some clerks are so pompous they bluff

A MATTER OF HEALTH

ordinary observance of health rules.
In this connection, some instructions
issued by the Illinois state board of
health, regarding the care of refriger-
ators Is most timely.
AN important feature in the hygiene

overlooked, even by most excellent
housekeepers," says the Illinois board,
lis the regular and thorough cleansing
of the refrigerator. While 1t is true that
the usually low temperature of the re-
frigerator will prevent very rapid de-
composition, 1t is none the less true that
decomposition will occur, and drops of
milk, fragments OF meat and small
pieces Of food Will undergo putrefaction.

Dog story from the Kingman Courier:
Friday a bit of sorrow came to the
household of w. S. Grosvenor. That
day Nudge, the faithful old dog which
has been member of the household
for is long years, shuff1ed off this NOR
tai coil and joined his forebears in
those happy, hunting grounds where 1T
is presumed all good dogs go. Nudge ar
rived in Kingman IS years ago with
his mother, who was one of the per
forming trick dogs with a circus and
was sidetracked here. DR.. Harry Has
kins who was then a small boy, got
hold of the dog and later gave the
pups away one by one, this one being
taken by little Jean Grosvenor. He
grew up as a playmate for the chill
dren became valuable watch dog, and
in many other ways endeared himself
to the family, all of whom became
very much attached to him. 1t is nat
ural that tear should be shed in the
Grosvenor household when Nudge pass
ed away The remains were duly in
tered Sunday under big catalpa tree
standing near the electric light plant,
and it is Mr.. Grosvenor'S intention to
mark the spot with some simple stone,
out of his sincere regard for the OLD
dog that had been the playmate of his
children and his own faithful and con-
slant companion for all these years

until the whole refrigerator is charged
with thousands of putrefactive bacteria.
The odor of the refrigerator may not
be pronounced. but milk and other ar
ticles of food placed in such a refrig-
orator will spoil quickly, and will become
unfit for consumption.
Milk from a foul refrigerator is es-
pecially dangerous to the sick or to in
fants, and it is doubtless true that
many disturbances of digestion Of
babies arise from good milk which has
become spoiled in the dirty ice box.
Every refrigerator or ice box which
is in constant use should be thoroughly
cleansed at least once a week. 1t would
be better if it were cleansed thoroughly
twice a week. All articles should be ta-
ken out, the lining should be scrubbed,
and the shelves, if detachable, should be
exposed to the sunlight. The corners
and crevices of the ice-box should be
given careful attention. The drain-pipe,
carrying away the water from the melt
ed ice, should be kept free constantly.
I'm placing milk or cream in the re-
frigerator, care should be taken that
there is no leakage or dripping. Spoiled
foods or tainted foods should never be
kept in an ice-box with fresh foods"

Too III to Be Nursed.

1.-THE late Bishop Fitzgerald" said a
st. Louis man, "once presided at this
season of the year at the graduation
exercises Of class of nurses. He told
the young woman a story that pleased
them nightly. He said that during our
war with Spain a certain hospital had
a corps of nurses of exceptional beauty
just such a corps, in fact, as the
young ladies ranged before him would
have made. But 1t was whispered that
these fair nurses were inclined little
to frivolity, inclined a little to hirt with
the ailing handsome young soldiers in
their charge. Now when a soldier felt
that he was on the mend. Irritation
with a pretty nurse was delightful, but
when his wounds were troublesome,
then gallantry was a thing that he was
hardly UP to.
"And indeed it was said that some
times a pretty nurse in this hospital
would come to a favorite soldier, and
find him lying with closed eyes, as If
asleep, on his cot, and this note pinned
on the counterpane:
