Great Scheme.

Two musicians share one studio
downtown. One of them was out the
other day when the other, accom-
panied by pupil, reached the studio.
He tiptoed and felt carefully along
the top sill of the door a moment and
then exclaimed:
"Confound 1t, the Dutchman has
walked off with that key in his pocket
again"
why don't you have another key
made, so each could have one?' sug-
gested the pupil.
The artist gazed at him in ingenu-
Gus wonderment.
why, we have three already, one
for each of us and one to leave over
the door in case we forget, It's great
scheme but he's so careless This
makes four times in less than week
he's left me in such a predicament. -

BIRTH OF TAMMANY
ORGANIZATION AN oFFsHooT OF
SONS OF LIBERTY.
Great Society Really Founded by VIII
liam Mooney and Had lite lncep-
tlon In Hatred of the
Tories.

Tammany was founded by William
Mooney, an Irishman by descent, an
American by birth, an upholsterer by
trade, and, according to Success, an
organizer and doubtless an agitator
by instinct.
Mooney and most of the men asso.
ciated in the founding of Tammany
had been members of the Sons of Lib.
erty. With the close of the revolution
this society was disbanded, 1t being
assumed that its work was done.
The suspicious of the proletariat
were aroused when Alexander Hamil.
ton threw his powerful influence and
protection over the hated Tories.
They found themselves powerless to
prevent to office men known to have
been Royalists.
They had no votes with which to
prevent this, and the proud patricians
smiled scornfully as they paused at
the doors of coffee houses and tav
erns and listened to the denunciation
of these landless and therefore dis
franchised patriots.
Conspicuous among the resorts fre.
quented by our ancestral New York
proletarat was Barden's, or the City
Tavern. This was located on Broad.
way, not far from Bowling Green, and
within a stones throw of the present
Standard OIL building.
The tavern was the forum of popu.
lar debate in those days, and if we
were permitted to examine the orig.
inal drafts of many famous and pa.
triotic documents we would likely)fin
them stained with ale and Jamaica
rum. 1t was day when the preacher
drank his toddy from the pulpit and
in which neither temperance nor
abstinence was esteemed as virtues
William Maclay and Robert Morris
were the first senators from Pennsyl-
vania and both attended the initial
session of congress in New York city.
Senator Maclay kept a journal of it's
proceedings, and his comments and
deductions are the delight of close
students of history. Under date of
May IL, 1890, we find this entry:
This day exhibited grotesque

ing the old first of May, the Sons of
st. Tammany had a grand street
parade through the town in Indian
dress. / delivered talk at one of
their meeting houses and went away
to dinner.
There seems to be some sort of
scheme laid of erecting some sort of
order or society under this denomina-
ton, but it does not seem well di-
gestei as yet. The expense of the
dresses must have been considerable,
and the money laid out on clothing
might have dressed some of their rag
ged beggars. But the weather is now
warm
This rugged and fearless old hater
of royalty and aristocracy had particir
pated in the celebration of the first
anniversary of the founding of the
Society of Tammany.

Carried Off Her Dead Baby.

Some strange and grewsome idea
has led French woman, presumably
not sane, to disinter her dead baby
twice, and to disappear the second
time with the body She was first
seen apparently tampering with a
grave in a cemetery near Arpajon, to
the south of Paris, and was found to
have laid upon it baby's remains.
She had dug these up from another
cemetery and wanted to inter them
again in her husbands grave. The
remains were taken from her, and
placed in a provisional tombs. A few
days later the latter was found to
have been broken open, and the body
had disappeared. A few days before
the woman had announced her inten-
ton of making off with the remains,
as she wanted to have her dead baby
with her awhile. She has gone from
the town where she was staying near
the cemetery, and has not yet been
traced.

Rheumatism Cannot
Be Cured Unless Uric
O Is Used.
Sudden Deaths, Heart Failure and
Paralysis Are Caused By Poison
Gus Uric and Rheumatic Acids.

The Rheumatic person is skeptical re-
garding the claims of almost any rene
div advertised as a cure for Rheumatism
and one can scarcely blame him for be-
ing so. All the plasters and liniments
combined never actually cured case of
Rheumatism. They may relieve 1t in
one quarter, but II is sure to break out
somewhere else. The only true way to
cure Rheumatism is to drive 1t from the
system, for as long as the Uric ana
Rheumatic Acid remains in the blood,
one ia never entirely free from the
trouble. This is where the value of
matism comes in. 1t seeks out the
Rheumatic poison in the blood muscles
and kidneys, renders 1t inert and harm
less and drives IL out of the system
That is why Urc-O is such an admirable
and effective cure for Rheumatism.
The chief reason that Uric-O is such a
wonderful cure for Rheumatism is, that
II is designed and prepared to cure
Rheumatism and Rheumatism only. 1t
rheumatic acid poison in the system.
That Is the secret of its wonderful sue
cess. Rheumatism simply cannot exist
in persons system If Uric-O is used.
Uric-O is sold by druggists at 75c and
S1.00 the bottle, but If you still feel skep-
tical about it's efficacy you can test it
free of charge by cutting out this adj
vertisement and sending same, together
with your name and address. also the
Drug Company, sol Smith Bldg, Syra-
cuse, N. Y, and they will send you an

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday
March 10, 20 and 21st., the Valentine
Theatre will conduct a grand opera
festival which is expected to create a
furore in this section. 1t is rare in
deed that grand opera is offered in
places outside of New York and Chi
cago by company of artists whose
reputation assure satisfactory rendi-
tions. This organization known as
the Italian Grand Opera Company is
made up of singers who have appear
ed with distinction ON the continent
and in America They are familiar
with the leading roles in the greatest
operas and sing them with a facility
and sympathy that makes the rendi-
tions authoritative and acceptable.
There need be no speculation as to
the quality of the work done by the
principals. Their skill has been test
ed in the leading opera organizations
both in America and Europe and their
regulations are based on their
achievements made under exacting
conditions. In this organization careful
attention his likewise been paid to
the chorus which is made up of sing
ers with well blended voices This
is a detail too often overlooked in
travelling organizations singing grand
opera. However, with the Italian
Grand Opera Company it is an es-
pecial feature. The support this Choir
us renders to the principals is of a
character that enhances the work of
those appearing in the leading roles
and gives the opera the proportions
aimed at by the composer. The COM
pany carries its own orchestra which
Is augmented by the addition of the
local orchestra.

Toledo !heaters
Attractions at Valentine Theatre, To-
ledo, Week of March 18th.

Iedo, Week OF March 18th.
The Valentine Theatre, Toledo, o.,
will offer on wednesday, March IS,
the leading exponent of Shakespear-
can comedy on the stage today, Louis
James. For years Mr.. James has been
associated with Shakespearean pro-
ductions and his name has been a
guarantee of adequate performances.
This has been especially true with
regard to his comedy creations. Last
year Mr. James appeared as Falstaff
in Shakespeare "The Merry Wives of
Windsor" and gave a notable imper-
sonation which is yet held in favorite
memory by many who witnessed the
performance. His long training in
the classic impersonations qualities
him exceptionally we'll for Shake
spearean comedy creations. He him
self provides a natural equipment for
such roles. His temperament is one
possessing keen sympathy with the
subtle comedy aspects and a keen
insight into the foibles and pretenses
of human nature. He is always a
reverent interpreter of Shakespeare,
never violating the classic spirit and
always bestowing the true values up
on the blank verse. He will offer at
Toledo one of the Shakespearean
comedies other than "The Merry
Wives of Windsor" and the occasion
will be one which all students of
Shakespeare and those interested in
higher comedy should not fail to pat
ronize.

to his ancestral roof tree. Yet
such an inn there is in this far
