the thousands of odd things that were
being prepared for the most dazzling
comic opera of the year, The Minstrel
of the Sahara"
The scenic artists had been working
day and night for weeks. and. with the
Opening" now only a few days off, the
managers were nervousiy dreading
that the beautiful effects would not be
finished in time. To add to this fear,
Henry Granger, the artist on whom
the projectors of the great spectacle
had mainly depended, had succumbed
to the strain of working for days and
nights without sleep and scarcely stop
ping for anything to eat. He lay at
his little east side home. tossing and
raving in the delirium of typhoid fe-
yer. He had been absent from the
painters bridge" for nearly a fort
night. and, although his loss was con-
sidered serious at first, some one else
had filled his place, and now he was
forgotten. Scenic artists, like actors,
are improvident creatures, and If any
of the warm hearted stage folk had
had time to think of aught except the
duties that weighed so heavily on each
and every one they might have
thought that the sick man. out of work
and helplessly i'll, might be suffering
for want of money. Granger was a
favorite generally, and many time
had he gone down into his scant saw
ings to hep swell contribution to
some needy professional in distress. If
anything ever reminded the company
of Changers absence it might have
been that his little girl, an only one of
seven, came no more with the artists
meals, as she used to when he painted
away up there ON the bridge" She
was a sweetly coy little thing, her
great blue eyes set in thoughtful
and pale face, surrounded by golden
curs
And now 1t was Christmas eve, at
o'clock in the afternoon. Old Pete,
the stage door tender, was startled
from his reveries back in the shadow
of his cage by the sweet voice of a
child. She had "a noe from mamma
to Mr.. Hardcraft the manager" No,
the manager was not abound just then,
but she could wait He might be back
any moment. Tenderly the rough old
fellow led the bonny one to a prosce-
mum box and, lifting her INTO a big up
holstered chair, which sic far from
filled, bade her wait A busy rehearsal

Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three

suits are simply surprising, the relief be-
ing effected without the slightest injury

DEMOCRATS CON-
 DEMN CHAPTERS

Harrisburg, Pa., une 27.-Reso lutions written by the Democratic state committee, conforming the Republican grafters' and urging the Capitol probers to make vigor- ous efforts to discover who shared in the poodle of the 100000 trimmings of the new Capitol, were unanimously passed by the delegates to the Democratic con- vention here today. The business before the body is the nomination of a candidate fer state treasurer to succeed William Ii. Berry. Ex Representative John c. Harman, of Bloomsburg, has been offered the nomination but does not care for it, Delegates generally admit that it is almost useless to attempt to defeat Representative John o. Sheah, of Philadelphia, the Republican nomi- nee, and few care to make the race against him.
 The resolution relating to the Capitol scandals in part as follows:
 That while we indorse and ap prove the actions of the investigat ing committee in the exposures of graft in the erection of the new Cap- itol, we believe it's work will be un finished and unsatisfactory until it ascertains who were the beneticiaries of the frauds perpetrated against the state besides the guilty con- tractors; and the state officials, hav- ing in their custody or possession the vouchers, orders, drafts, warrants, or checks upon which the money was paid, have it in their power to as- certain in what bank or trust com pany the money was deposited and are thus enabled to pursue the guilty parties until they are ferreted out, and it is the duty of this committee to do so, and it is the further duty of this committee to recommend and direct that legal action be taken now or before the statute of limita tions be pleaded as bar.'
