1beE|e(tri( Theatre

Does not wish to become public
charge. but only wants to fill the de-
mand for its class of entertainment.
For time at least it will be open
only on TUESDAY, THURSDAY.
and SATURDAY evenings. This
will leave good nights in the week for
other things. On these three nights
there will bp fine double bills. or two
reels and SOng-and it will all be
new. This will give nearly an hour
of splendid entertainment for five
cents. Our service will not be cut
down, and the price of admission will
be the same, but it will take liberal
patronage on the three nights TO meet
expenses. We shall hope for that
patronage and will guarantee first
class service for 1t.
One line of business does not make
town. A community of interests
working tremendously together will
produce the best results to the great
est number. The Electric Theatre
wants only to be link in the great
chain that will help on to progress
and success.
One hundred and fifty nights with
out disappointment or complete
failure is the record of the Electric
Theatre for the last 81 months. $50
songs have been used. 10000 feet OF
films showing the motion pictures
have also been used. AS each reel
contains one thousand feet Of films
and was used an average Of five times
-750, 600 feet Of films has passed
through the machine. As there are
about Is pictures to every foot of film,
it means that IL, $50, 900 distinct and
separate pictures were thrown upon
the screen to produce the motion
pictures. The original cost of these
films would be about $4,000 and the
rental has amounted to upwards $1,000.
The patronage that has made this
possible, though not particularly
profitable, has been appreciated.

THE PLAQUES DEADLY COURSE

Despite the efforts of the Government
of India to stay the ravages of plague,
it continues its deadly course. Between
June 28 aud September 20. OF the pres
ent year, the number Of cases officially
reported in India was 446. $50 and the
deaths from the disease were 399, 033.
1t will be noted hat the mortality
was very high. This. like the spread Of
the malady. is probably due to bad
sanitary conditions among the native
communities and to lack of physical re
~sistance, as a large proportion OF the
people of India are very poorly fed.
During the same period Japan had
1868 cases and 918 deaths, which was
likewise a very high mortality, and
probably for similar reasons. But it i,
TO be remembered that plague has al
ways ranked as one of the most fata
of maladies. even under the best of con
ditions for the patient. San Francisco
is making a good showing. with re
coyeries in the neighborhood of 40 pei
cent. or two out of five cases, says the
Sacramento Bee.
The present cases are almost all those
Of whites. Daring the persistence oil
the diseases some years ago, when the
victims were nearly al Chinese, the re-
coveries were scarcely more than one il
ten cases. Iu fact, about nine-tenths
of the victims were dead when found
by the inspectors, as the Chinese con
caal cases.

said recently to the cardinals who
were presenting him with their
homage in celebration of his

festivities to be entirely deprived
of any political character. All
money collected during the year,
he said, must be spent for the
improvement of the conditions OF
poor Catholics throughout the
world. in the building of churches
wherever needed and in gifts to
the poorest of the religious in
situations which were really de-
serving.
The Pope concluded by say
ing that he preferred that people
should silently pray for the ex-
altation of the Catholic Church
and that money intended for I'M
necessary display should be APP
to charitable objects.
