Io5 Years Old.

That's Barnet Wolinsky's correct age, and he certainly is a spry old gentleman. He likes to sit and chat with anyone who may favor him with call. When asked by news paper man to give his opinion as to what he thought was the best way to live so as to attain good old age, his answer was, he had no theories for long living. He says he always lived simple life. But he says he can (and does at times) drink thirty cups of nicely brewed tea per day, and he says it has never hurt him in the least, but he thinks if a person cannot drink intoxicants sparingly they should cut booze out entirely. And We think Wolinsky is right. for the simple reason that tea, yes, or coffee, will never hurt anyone. But you occasionally hear a doctor tell his patient to cut out drinking tea or coffee, but nine times out of ten he doesn't cut it out" himself. No, no; he knows what a good thing is, and he sticks 10 it, but if he is get ting $2 for his call he must tell you something and he naturally pitches onto something that he thinks will hoodwink you. But don't you let him prescribe for you, that is provid- ing you are drinking the kind we sell. because our quality is the o. K kind and will act as a tonic, provid- ing you make it right, and all our regular customers know just how to make it. Now, if you are not drink ing the good, nice tasting quality, | just call and make purchase at

1.-THE HOLY CITY" HAD
GORGEOUS SETTING
Play Presented
Last Night.

f"The Holy City" as presented last
night at Glover's Opera House, was a
gorgeous production, we'll staged
and we'll actedl The subject of the
play is the best known in all the
world, portrayihg as it does the eli
makes in the origin of the Christian
religion. Some objection could be
made to the theme at times as being
of a semi-sacriligious order Other
wise the story is a lofty one, and
perents wildly the history so familiar
to students of sacred literature.
For the manner in which the play
was presented last night, the company
deserves praises as a whole, though
some of the characters left something
to be desired, as for instance the
portrayal of Herod. Elizabeth the
mother of John, seemed to everyday
the part.
AS John the Baptist, John Dvorak
gave splendid presentation, his
dignity and lofty utterances winning
for him frequent applause. Pauline
Harice, as Salome, interpreted the
part with correctness. In the dane
ing scene she was especially effective
as a representative of the sensual.
Marius, the Roman, her lover, was
played by Clay Clemnts in a most
pleasing manner. Later in the play
Mr. Dvorak takes the part of Judas
Iscariot, and though a little different
from his earlier appearance, acquit-
ted himself creditably in the role of
the bertayer.
No doubt can exist as to the
strength of the play. It's climaxes are
chosen from wealth of history of
events of most vital import to all
generations. The costuming and
staging are excellent and the repre-
sensations of the life of that period
can be accepted as true. The bold
ness of the theme at times is a little
staggering, though every subject is
treated reverently. Those who heard
it last night were given more serious
thoughts than theatre-goers are ac-
cutomed to receive in the present
day

TWO WITNESSES,
THEN REPORT MADE
Brownsville Affair Will Be
Passed to Senate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. I'll
(SpeciaD The Senate Committee on
Military Affairs will hear two more
witnesses and will then formulate
majority and minority reports for
submission to the Senate. This is
the result of the Senate resolution
passed last winter directing an in
vestigatiOn of the affray in which the
colored Twenty-fifth Infantry figured
at Brownsville.
This decision was made at the ses-
sion which that committee held be-
hind closed doors at the Capitol,
Chairman Warren presiding. The com
mittee adjourned until o'clock next
Tuesday afternoon.
The committee first decided not to
go to Brownsville to take further
testimony, but to hear two more
tnesses-Chief of Police Connor
of Brownsville, and a Mexican wit
ness named Jagou. Subpoenas were
this evening issued requiring the
attendance of these two witnesses
before the Military Committee next
Tuesday afternoon. 1t is anticipated
that both can be heard that day.
and that the committee will be able
next Wednesday to begin the formu
lation of it's report
Though the Senate resolution did
not require it, majority of members
of the committee think a report should
be made to the Senate. This means
that Senator Foraker will also have
an opportunity to file a minority re-
port, in which he will express his
views and contend that the investiga-
ton has shown that the President
acted without authority in discharg
ing the negro troops without trial
Mr.. Foraker comedies with every
body that the town was 'shot up"
that somebody did it; that the people
who did it passed through the
streets and alleys where the shooting
was done, and that they had guns
or revolvers; that one man was
killed and another wounded. But
he says that the question at issue is
whether the raiders were identified as
the negro soldiers of the garrison. He
says the shooters have not been so
identified.
