 Great stage artists die twIce-the first tlme when they take leave of the stage and set aside the harp; the sec ond time, when, like ordinary mortals, they go the way of all flesh--and who knows but this last act is not more bearable, not less dreadful, than the first, when. after all the binding glory. the shadowy curtain of oblivion de- Bcends2 For Pauline Lucca this first act was of long duration-nearly twcn ty years. She had time to outllve her glory and to become acquainted with the bad memory of mankind. Ilka Horwlz-Barnay tells this story In con nectlOn with visit which she made to the Lucca home fin Vienna: "l ask ed, Do you ever singy No! No: Nevern she almost shouted. T never sing, for lost my voice, lost It sud denly, by suggestion. through the will of another After being urged 10 cX plain she exacted q promise of secrecy until she was no more and said: You know, my husband. the Baron von Wallhofen, was sick for a long time and heard little singing When did sing for him 1t had to be an old song which l dlsliked, but he was fond of 1t because of Its words.

BABY'S EYESIGHT

"Our little girl was two months old when she got 0 rash on her face and within five days her face and head were all one sore. We used different reme- dies but it got worse, instead of better and we thought she would turn blind and that her ears would fall of. She suffered terribly, and would scratch until the blood came. At night we had to pin her hands down. This went on until she was five months old, then had her under our family doc tors care, but she continued to grow worse. He said 1t was eczema. When she was seven months old 1 started to use Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent, and in three weeks - what a changei kept using the Cuticura Remedies for two months and our baby was different girl. You could not see @ sign of a sore and she was as fair as Q newborn baby, and all for the small cost of @ dollar and seventy five cents where we had spent ten times the money for doctoring..

Kicking on Their Decisions Is as old
 as the Cane.
 Much has been said and written about the habit that ball players have. and apparently cannot break them selves of entirely, of dlsputing deci- slons of the umpire The practice dates back for many years. As far back as 1860 In an account of a game between the famous Atlantics of Brooklyn and the Excelslors there appeared the fol- lowing:
 "We hope to see the bOys' play of dis putting over the decision of umplres en- tlrely done away with"
 Many years have passed since that was written, and the players still dis pute what ia some quarters 1t Is ar gued should be the sacred decisions of the judges Of play. Nowadays the best umplres In the game make allowance for the state of mlnd a player Is in while engaged in q close contest.
 The following extract Is from New York paper printed In 1867:
 "Kelly says that Peck's dummy has created quite an excitement on Ann street. Dressed In q full baseball rig, he looks quite natty. ScoReld of the Haymakers did think about bringing the figure over to the Union grounds to act as umpire In the Haymakers- Eckford game yesterday. but young man named Mcneil was found who an- swered nearly as well."-New York Tribune.

TO AVOID COAL FAMINE
METHODS UNDER DISCUSSION BY
RETAIL COAL DEALERS AS.
ISOLATION IN NORTHWEST.

Minneapolis. Mimi. July 9.-Meth.
DDS of preventing the annual fuel
famine which obtains in the north
west every winter. leaving suffering.
prIvation and death in its wake. are
under discussion at the convention
opened here today by the Northwest
ern Retail Coal Dealers Association
Dealers are here from Minnesota
Montana. the Dakotas. Wisconsin and
Manitoba, and for three days will give
almost their undivided attention to
the difficult matter OF outlining
system Of fuel supply for the coming
winter
one of the questions TO be given
considerable discussion is that referr
ing to summer freight rates II has
been the desire of the association
to have the railroads concede Ger
tain points in the way of summer
rates that will enable the dealers 10
ship coal at reduced rates To all
northwegern points early in the
summe.
If the roads can be persuaded to
grant special rate for the three
summer months. the companies will
be able to get the coal to the North.
western points at a cost that will
allow them to sell fuel at greatly
reduced prices, hoping thereby to
get the consumers to buy coal early
in the year and avoid the congestion
which inevitably brings on the coal
famine in the late winter.
The matter was taken up last year
but little success was met with. but
with the working of the interstate
commerce commission and special
committee from the association, it is
believed the roads will concede some
points to the association.
