IN the Brown BUILDING.
The. Family Theatre company opened
for business on Thursday evening in
the Brown building near Mcdonald &
Pomroy's drug store. There was a good
attendance en the opening evening and
a fine program was presented.
The moving picture machine is the la
test improved of the Edison make. The
pictures are sharp and clear. without a
flicker on the curtain, and the light is so
soft that a persen's eyes are rested in
stead of being strained as is generally
the case where inferior machines are
used.
The store building has been remodeled
and seats to accommodate 200 people
have been neatly arranged. A part of
the store space has been reserved for the
display of pianos and Mrs. Brown retains
the front section Of the building for her
soda fountain, confectionery, post cards,
etc. Miss Nellie Schwalbe acts as clerk
Tor MRS. Brown.
The program on Thursday night
consisted of the moving pictures. 1.-THE
Bunco Steerers" and "Nurse Taking a
Walk" besides popular songs and piano
solos. Manager Ike means to make the
Family Theatre a success and guaran-
tees to please his patrons. Before com.
ing to Dickinson, he conducted a piano
store in Crookston, MIMI, where he
made a success of the business for sew
eral years. He is a thorough piano man
and has done a good business since his
arrival in Dickinson. Mrs. Ike is an ex-
cellent pianist and her work in this line
helps out at the evening entertainments.
1t is the plan to have entertainments
every evening. The programs will last
one hour and will be repeated twice,
with songs and piano solos while changes
are being made. The same arrangement
has been made for Saturday afternoons.

POINT FOR THE EMBROIDERED.
Good Effect in the Combining of
Stitches and Colors.

Embroiderers are learning more and
more to combine stitches and colors,
and the latest idea is to use wallachian
with the long-and-short stitch, finished
here and there with little coronation
braid The way this is done is to use
the design intended for wallachian
work, and instead of finishing the
stitches in the middle, as is the Gus
tom, they are carried all the way
across, leaving the buttonhole finish
at one side and the plain finish at the
other. This plain side is then done
over again in pale shade Of some
other color in the long-and-short
stitch, thus giving the flower or leaf
the appearance of a light shading.
which looks far more attractive Than
it sounds.
Wherever outline stitch is necessary
In stems or scrolls, the coronation
braid is used, and this is a compare
lively easy way to make a simple de-
sign look intricate, for the maest
child may learn to do such work. AS
though this were not enough, a little
featherstitching is sometimes added
around the border, and, of course,
such a combination of stitches would
look very patchy were it not that they
were very artistically arranged.

Sway of the Typewriter.

The typewriter is playing an impor-
tant part in civilizing the world. The
latest invention in this line Is a ma
chine capable of transcribing the Jap
anese ideogram; but typewriters i'm
printing Arabic. Syriac, Armenian, He
brew and other oriental languages
have long been used.
In Turkey the printing Of anything,
from a circular letter to book, can
only be done under permit from the
government. Therefore, typewriters
which imprint Turkish or Arabic char
acters are prohibited from passing
through the custom house. Never
theless, the increasing demand has
somehow produced a small supply.
Bagdad, city of 100000 inhabitants,
has 20 machines, all of which write
Arabic. In Syria, one Of the most poly
glot countries in the world, Syriac, Ar.
able and French writing typewriters
are used by many Of the business
houses. Persia, which used the Arabic
script, is learning to adopt the type
writer. To go farther east, number
of Hindustani writing machines are
now used in Bombay and other cities
OF India. Chinese seems to be the only
language which still resists the type
writer's endearnents. Harper's

Present Congress Thus Far Shy on Talk

conversation. But as the average CON-
gress does things and talks about,
them, it is not so much. For example,,
the second session of the Fifty-ninth,
congress, which ended on March 4, of:
last year, filled nearly as much space,
in the Record as has this session up to,
the middle Of April 1908. The first.
session of the Fifty-ninth congress had;
filled more space by several hundred,
pages. Similarly, the present congress,
will stand comparison with several,
other laxative congresses.
The longest speech in either house,
was made by La Toilette. The SEN,
ator from Wisconsin consumed the.
larger part of three days in attack;
ing the Aldrich bill. The Browns,
vile case has not occupied great;
deal of senate time thus far, but there;
are several speeches yet to be made;
upon it.
Aside from the fact that the senate,
has not INDUCED in much protracted
talk, it has not been working as a
body as regularly as usual this ses-
sion. Most of the time it has been ad-
journing over from Thursday to Mon
day-which is not true of the house.
But if congress cannot fairly be &C
cused of talking more than usual, 1t
must be admitted that it is going a
rapid pace in the matter of introduc-
ton of bills. In the house alone
about $1,000 have been introduced up
to date-an average of nearly 80 for
each member.

So Made.

the crowns with tall, outstanding

w closes that congress has not
talked so much during this session as
many of its critics allege. Other
congresses have talked more and have
consumed more space in the Congress

All this in face of the fact that the
present has been widely attacked as a
do-nothing congress, bent only on end
ing the session without passing any
measure that could be assailed in the
presidential campaign-with each
member intent on filling as many
pages as possible of the Record with
burning thoughts for the edification of
his constituents, and for impressing
them with the idea that the in.

Up to date about 5000 pages have
been taken up in the Congressional
