called the circumstances in which the
novel had Its origin and reminded his
guests how its success had laid the founda-
ton of his whole career 1t was the SYM
boil he said. of all the efforts that he was
to make in the future. 1t represented an
entirely new departure In Norwegian litera-
ture BY introducing into fiction and en-
bodyIng in literature the ideals of the
peasants life it had paved the way for
the new democracy
The book undoubtedly promoted unity and
solidity in the country population, and by
its influence the Norwegian peasant en-
tered upon the system of copartnerShip
which might ultimately have arisen in the
course of political and social evolution, but
which was FASTENED by Bjornson s adVo-

CROWN PRINCE OF sERv1A.
Quits ostend in Disgust Because of
Hotel Indignity.


BRUSSELS September 3.-The Crown
Prince of Servia, who had been staying at
Ostend for a few days, has left that city
under very remarkable circumstances. He
had taken rooms in one of the leading
hotels with his abide camp and was travel
ing incognito. A few days ago some jewels
were stolen in that same hotel and the
servants rooms were searched, but in vain
The proprietor then indicated to the police
the arrival of the two mysterious gentle
men. who always remained by themselves
and were spending money lavishly.
The police, according to the hotelkeepers
intelligence. went to the princes room in
order to search for the stolen jewels. The
prince became very angry. He at once
told the policeman who he really was, and
In spite of the policemans desire to retire
he insisted upon the proposed search being
completed OF course, no jewels We're
found. but the prince. whom this incident
greatly annoyed left Ostend, swearing he
would never be seen there again.

war. Mr.. Lin does not regret, on the con-
trary, he glories in, the action of his an

SeStOr.
In a public address he expressed his de-
termination to follow his great-grand-
fathers example. AS president of the
principal anti-Opium society he has been
working, evidently to good effect, to secure
the faithful carrying out Of the imperial
decree of last August and the regulations
which followed. issued in November, for
stopping the and sale of opium In
China. Notice was given, In accordance
with these regulations, that at the end of
six months the opium shops would all be
closed. and this was carried out on the
day named.
Vainly the opium den keepers protested:
vainly did they present petitions asking
for an extension, first, two months; then
of one month, then Of weeks. or days last
ly only one day. Their leader. who pre-.
scented the petition and offered a bride or
81 900 to the officials, was put into prison.
The anti-opium societies formed vigilance
committees, with watchers appointed for
every ward of the city and its suburbs, so
that when the fateful day arrived, only
three or four dealers dared to open their
shops, and these men were promptly seized
and hustled off to jail.
Great demonstrations were made in cele-
bration of the closing of these places. Long
professions of students-the students all
over China are streng against opium; an
English professor in a Chinese government
university said he found the students so
ashamed of their country's national vice
that they did not like to speak of 1t to a
foreigner-paraded the streets with ban
ners. lanterns and flags, and hundreds of
shops were decorated with bunting and
pennants.
Many mass meetings were held through
out the city. At these meetings the Chinese
officials spoke, and great was the
thusiasm that foreigner who happened
to attend one of the meetings out of curl
osity. was begged to address the crowd,
which he did amid great applause.
II is well that the British house of COM
mons last year placed itself, by unan!m-
Gus vote, on the side of the rising Chinese
indignation against the vice which British
policy, under the influence of misguided
Anglo Indian officials, so long fostered Now

"The Old Clothes Man.

Rowland & Clifford will offer at
the Auditorium, Thursday evening,
James Kyrle McCurdy in his new
play, "The Old Clothes Man. :"
Nothing quite so unique has been
offered to the theatre goers for some
time past. In fact, there is no enter
prise on the road today that presents
the Ghetto in a more realistic way
than does this production. The play
was written by Mr.. MeCurdy himself,
and as an actor, much can be said
about his ability as an impersoDator
of Hebrew life. He who wrote the
play certainly must have the ability
to interpret it. The attraction played
to large audiences in the east last sea-
son. and it comes here almost direc-
from its long run in New York.
Newspaper critics in the large citiet
have given favorable notices no.
only of the play, but Of Mr.. McCurs
dy. The play is one Of startling sit
uations, although it is not a blood
and thunder affair, and the audience
is kept in constant good humOr from
the rise until the fall of the curtain.

Thomas McClary's Lecture.

hold good in this case and the at

''There are few men on the lecture
PLATFORM who have made as great a
success as Thomas McClary. He has
the humor of an Artemus Ward COM
bined with the rare oratory anC learn
ing of Wendell Phillips. He has
done as much to make the lecture
popular, and at the same time in
struetive, as any man in the Ly0eum
field. Nature has endowed Mr.. Nc
Clary with face and figure like that
of Lincoln and Emerson and Sol
Smith Russell, and the same power
with which to make an audience laugh
or cry. His ideas are fresh. his IL

We most heartily endorse him. -

BEWARE OF sTIMULANTs.
They Prove 4 Dangerous and Deep.
tive Beverage for Human Syetem.

Why should any man endowed with
sense give way to the craving for al
coholic stimulants?
Nutritious food, exercise and sleep
are the best stimulants; you do not
need any others. Half an hours hard
work every day with dumb-bells or
Indian clubs or a punching bag will
put you in a physical and mental con-
dition in which you can in the long
run outstrip any man in the world
that lives on stimulants.
Stimulants are brOken-kneed
horse; they are likely to throw you at
any time.
You can set 1t down as an absolute
fact that there is no amount OF extra
work that you may be called upon to
do and no extra strain you may have
to undergo that you cannot endure a
great deal better without stimulants
than with them.
For every degree of extra energy
produced by alcoholic stimulants, de-
clares the New York Weekly, there
are ten degrees of lassilude when the
reaction comes.
Besides, 1t is perfectly well known
that all stimulants lose in tine their
eXhilarating effect. Larger and larger
doses are required, until the sodden
brain refuses any longer to respond,
and the man becomes a mere battered,
depressed wreck.
The wise man has no use for these
things; drinks harmless beverages.
eats his well-cooked food, sleeps with
his window open, exercises every DAY,
and leaves all the stimulant users So
far behind in the race that, looking
back, he cannot even see the poor lit
tie dust they kick up.
