NEw HAVEN THEATER.

The most significant dramatic offer ing of the week will be. the presentation on Saturday afternoon and evening,
 June 1. at the New Haven theater of Pirero's drama His House in Order" | in which Charles Frohman will present
 John Drew and his company, including Miss Mabel Roc buck. The production came from the Empire theater, New
 York. where it has had a run of over l lfcur months to crowded houses. The story concerns Filmer lesson, a se- were, self-conceited Englishman, loving
 order and regularity as only the typical
 British can. He has married for a second time and considers his second marriage d failure, in that the young woman possesses none of the qualities he had grown accustomed to in his first lwife. The second wife is subjected to {, the constant praises of the first, from the family of the dead woman and from
 the husband She unburdens herself to the husbands brotherswho advises her l to abide her time. Finally when the prosecutions of the dead woman's fami- | ly become almost unbearable the sec ond wife discovers, byfmeans of letters
 that the first wife, far from being the Iexamplary person her. relatives claim, lwas the mistress of friend of her hus-
 band. and had planned to elope on the
 very day she met her death Again
 Nina asks advice of her brother -in-law Destroy the letters," is the command.
 slowly, steadily, the brother-in-law
 states the doctrines of renunciation,
 and Nina. defeated and crushed, hand him the letters. In the succeeding scene the hostllitles that are poured
 upon the second wife reach their cul- imitation and incense the brother-in-
 law until he can stand it no longer,
 and after pleading, uselessly with the husband to act like a human being, he angrily places the letters in the hus- bands hands. When the relatives have
 been driven out the husband sits gloom fly holding the letters when the wife enters. She upbraids the brother-in-
 law for having told him when he al-
 ready had so much to bear She takes
 the letters and they sit beside the fire and burn them as the curtain falls.

AT THE LOCAL THEATERS
HYPERION THEATER.

Richard Golden, who has. Temporarily deserted the musical comedy field, and is starring in new. comedy-fantasy, 'The Poor Devil" by Harry and Ed ward Paulton. authors of "Erminie" and 'Niobe." will be seen at the Fly perion tomorrow and Wednesday nights,
 In his new play MT. Golden has re- turned to the role of quaint and hu morous Yankee, a style of characteri- zation which made this talented come dian famous in his early career. The character is that of an aged Yankee inventor A quaint, loveable character, full of. eccentricities, but bubbling over with a love for his fellow men, and a generous forgiving spirit. It is part 1 in which pathos and comedy are de- lightfully blended, and yet so 7cleverly shaded as to be always human and creditable.
 The locale of the play is laid in a small manufacturing city in Rhode Is land. It's action in no way resembles any of the former works of the authors. Though described as a comedy of American life. it in reality goes much 1 farther. as it has a strong and virile plot, which is frightened byra novel and unique fantasy treatment, The latter feature alone has made the piece the most talked of production of the sea- son In the supporting cast are R. c, Hertz, Alfred Hickman, Gertrude Swig- gett, Charles Lane, Carah McYicker, Joseph Tuchy. Bernice Wiley Golden and others. The piece has been hand sonely staged.
 strong and competent cast of play CTS are supporting Mir Golden, among whom are Alfred Hickman, Ruth Allen, John Grant, Bernice Wiley Golden
 Charles Lane, Louise Rutter, Joseph
 Touchy, Sarah McVicker, R. c. Hertz and Gertrude swiggett.
 The production has been handsomely mounted, with great care for wealth of detail, and an elaborate decorative scheme has been carried out.

Answers every Call.
Viroqua People Have Found that
This Is True.

A cold, a strain, sudden wrench,
A little cause may hurt the kidneys.
Spells of backache often follow,
Or some irregularity of the urine.
A certain remedy for such attacks,
A medicine that answers every call,
Is Doan's Kidney Pills, true specific.
w. F. Cartmill, rural free delivery
letter carrier, living at AIT Bliss ST.,
Stevens Point, Wis, says: 81 have
used Doan's Kidney Pills and can speak
very highly of them. / am exposed to
all kinds of weather, and have to ride
several miles day over rough roads
and it is one constant strain on my
back. At night would feel tired, lame
and sore. | was also troubled with
urinary trouble which was very annoy
ing. For my back l tried liniments and
several plasters, but with no apparent
relief. Finally l got Doan's Kidney
Pills and the result of using this RENE
dy was far beyond my expectation. In
few days the trouble left me and the
pain and weakness was entirely gone.
do not have the slightest pain now |
work hard, all day, week in and week
out, and never have any trouble. |
have had no occasion to use D)an's
Kidney Pills or any other remedy since
they cured me.

First Man of America.

The ra.rest map in the world-a map
that is valued at the dizzy figure of
$500, 600 may soon find place on the
shelves of the Chicago public library
1t is the first map ever printed on which
the name America appears and it
was issued from little press in the
Voages Mountains, in France, just
thirte~l years after Columbus cast
anchor off San Salvador. A thousand
copies were originally run off but they
soon disappeared. Considering the early
date at which it was drawn it is fairly
accurate, but it separates North and
South America by a wide strait and
represents the former as divided by a
gigantic arm of the sea, RAINING from
San Francisco right up to the present
site of Chicago.

The railroads of Wisconsin accept
with seeming serenity the two-cent
passenger fare rate, but there is a sus-
picion existing that the freight rates
win be increased sufficiently to cover
the reduction of income the two-cent
fare will cause. If this is done, it will
probably be to enable the roads to
reach the maximum dividends on CAPT
tai invested, allowed by the railroad
rate commission.
The above squib from a country ex-
change is but a re-echo from the Mil
waukee daily interested dailies, which
are just now, for BUSINESS REASONS,
making great clamor that the people
don't know what is good for them.
The press is discredited by the people
in this two-cent matter Readers have
lost faith in their professions. The real
facts are that within the past week
the railroad commission has ordered a
reduction in numerous freight schedules,
especially on live stock.

The valued Viroqua Censor seems to
take 1t for granted that low special ex-
curslon rates have as a rule been a di-
rectly profitable proposition for the
railroads. The Censor might consult
the companies on that point Milwaukee
Sentinel
Thanks for the suggestion. To the
point. The CENSOR has before it the
Daily Sentinel which contains an ad-
vertlsement of the c. M. & st. Paul
company soliciting patronage for an
excursion to be run from Milwaukee to
kllbourn City, distance of more than
25o miles for the round trip, with steam
boat passage through the Dells thrown
in, all for 81. 40. Does the esteemed
Sentinel suspicion that railroad of
ficials are conducting these excursions
exclusively for their healthier as a
matter of business? No sane person
believes The companies will euifer ma
terial financial loss by carrying pas
sengcrs at two cents mile on their
regular trains when we consider that
they run special trains for less than
one half that rate. The Milwaukee
dailies better employ some cheap boy
to pinch them. They are too sound
asleep to learn public sentiment and
popular demand.

From Norway comes the information
that numerous Northland travellers,
among them many Americans are turr-
ing back without going farther north
than Christiana. News from Trorsoe
leaves little doubt that the epidemic
amcng the natives lately reported from
these parts is species of the bubonic
plague, though the authorities prefer
to call it black fever, the cant name
for al old malady INDECENT to the east
ern coast of Norway. 1t is reported
that the disease kills fully 90 per cent
of all it attacks and black fever was
never known to be so virulent.

A LITTLE SERMON.
TODAY AND TOMORROW.

What have | made of today?
Has it been day that | shall want
to remember, because | awoke with a
happy heart, went to my work with
gladness, undertook it with Joy and
completed what the day held out to me
with all the perfectness of which | am
capable? Did | meet its disappoint-
ments bravely, did | withstand its
temptations manfully. and was | not
forgetful of my brother? Was | kind
and thoughtful? Was | honest and
sincere?
Am | glad that have lived today?
What shall make of tomorrow?
Let it be better day than this day,
a truer day, a deeper day, wherein
may learn more wisely, think more nobly
and see more clearly.
Let me know little more of charity
and little more of love; be little
mindful of the feelings of children, a
little thoughtful of the feebleness of
age. Let me be little gutter under
vexation, little stronger under temp
tation and little more sensible of the
part / am here to play.
Let me be frank and true, that may
look into my friends eyes without
shrinking, and into the eyes of him who
thinks he is my enemy without fear.
Let me understand little more the
radiance of the sunshine and the deep
blue of the sky.
Let me perceive the sweetness of
service, the satisfaction of effort and
the glory of honest work.
Let me master the lessons of the day
and so become more master of myself.
And so may it pass, quickly but help
fully, quietly but happily, full of com
pensation for every trial and comfort
for every hurt, until the shadows come
again out of the dusk, and | shall lie
down to think of still another day
wherein must go forward Milwaukee

The explanation of the adoption of
prohibition of the liquor traffic in
Georgia is given in quotation from a
Georgia newspaper as follows: 1--WE
believe it is best because it would do
most to regulate the negro who com
mits his greatest crime because of
liquor and whose most venal habits are
fixed by it. This alone is of sufficient
Importance to try the experiment if all
experience in other states where there
is no negro population had been absolute
failures"

LARGEST CRIMINAL COURT FINE.
Standard Oil Fined Many Millions for
Relating.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-Iudge K. NJ. Lam
lis today imposed fine of $29, 24O, 900
the maximum amount under the law,
on the Standard Oil company of In
diana, which corporation was recently
convicted on charge of accepting re-
bates, aggregating 1928, 900 from the
Alton Road. The fine is the largest
ever recorded in the history of criminal
jurisprudence.
The judge also recommended that
call be issued for special grand jury
which is to consider the other party to
the rebating operations, of which the
Standard was found guilty, and it is
therefore probable that within short
time proceedings viii be commenced
against the Alton railroad for the al
legged commission of similar offenses.

PETTY SPITE.

From the hullabaloo raised by the
Milwaukee papers against 2-cent pas
senger rate, after all the surrounding
states have adopted the same rate, we
wonder what the row is all about.
Nine persons out of every ten want
to ride as cheap as they can, and if
the roads can't afford to carry passen-
gera at &c they don't have to do it.
All the legislatures. governors and com
missions in Christendom can't prevent
the railroads from earning good profits.
The courts will protect the stockholders.
There has been no proof yet that the
&c rate is, Improbable to the roads,
providing that the free pass business is
eliminated. We should think that Mr..
Barnes, recently of the rate commission
would demonstrate this while is kick
ing up such muss Trains are crowd
ed these days, and with the abolition of
passes are making more money than
ever before. The Wisconsin rail IDS
aren't kicking as much as Mr.. Barnes
and the Milwaukee papers. If it pains
them much longer, wouldn't it look to
an outsider as if screw is loose some
where?
Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan and Illi-
nois passed &c rates before the law was
passed in this state. All the legisla-
lures and governors around us were
praised for their work. although every
one of these states has railroad com
missions. Every member of the Wis
consin legislature who voted for the law
should be praised and Governor David
son is entitled to credit for refusing to
be frightened by the railroads or news
papers. Hudson Observer.
