ROOSEVELT ON THE PRESS.

The president professes to believe deep down in the bottom of his heart that a great many of the, newspapers of the United States are corrupted" hy Standard oil. Well, the President professed just as solemnly a little while ago to believe in the corporeal existence of body of political con- spirators with s5,000,000 corruption fund The President, when the exigen- cies of circumstances seem to demand it. can get himself to believe very great many things vastly more im- probable than that the whale actually swallowed Jonah, or that Jonah ac- tuallv swallowed the whale A fine elastic imagination has our President. A coruscating eye, and, to the late Bill Nve said, another very closely re- sembling it." enable him to see a great many interesting things that are just as horrifying to a patriot as they would be if they really existed
 It is by no means a reflection upon MT. Roosevelt to say that he owes a great deal of his popularity to the eager for praise from the Democratic and Republican newspapers. And they have given it to him without measure. Party lines have not been drawn in commenting the President, and they have not been drawn in criticising him Recently there has been more of a note of criticism than of con- mendation in the comments of the newspapers of both parties. With his customary intolerance of the opinions of the other fellow Mir. Roosevelt has showed ill-temper. but with less than his customary political sagacity he has shown a spirit of unfairness.-Louis-

nifies danger involving the loss of life. In some other countries rabbit cross- ing the road has the same significance. The disagreeable habit of biting the finger nails is almost unknown among the MaIays. They believe that if in dulged in the habit will surely lead to poverty.
 It is considered by the Malay to be a very lucky thing to see pig or a Chinese funeral before the sun rises. Whatever he attempts on this day will be sure to prosper. Dreaming of jump ing a brooklet assures the dreamer that he will die in short time; then the faithful Malay dreamer gives aims to the poor and behaves gently and kindly to all about him in an en- deavor to pacify the gods and per- suade them to lengthen his life. To see monkey in the morning is an ,vil omen. and it signifies that the
 ay will be bad one for trade. All of these omens have palliations, and the wise Malay usually takes each one as a warning of danger or misfor- tune that may be in part If not wholly avoided Chicago News.

"The Lion and the Mouse"

>-~Charles Klein entered a fertile field when he selected the question of high finance, and the corruption consequent through the misuse of wealth by the money power in order to further the schemes by which this class of men add to their millions. The idea had never before been made use of for dra matic purposes and when the play made it's appearance it was instantly recognized as one for which the claim of originality might justly be made.
 The general conception of what these financial barons are like is in direct accord with MT. Kleins picture of one of them. and there are few among the hundreds of thousands of people who have seen the play who will not agree that Mr. Klein sketched his central character. with consummate skill He has pictured him as a shrewd, avaric- fous, domineering despot, who has no hesitancy in crushing those who op- pose his plans, and when he is finally cornered by the cleverness of mere girl and made to acknowledge his de- feat Mir Klein has rounded out play which is practically flawless in con truction.

Every other member of his company is schooled up to a high level in his profession and the result is per- fectfy smooth performance The story of the play is well-known and that fact is. itself, sufficient to attract over flowing houses wherever he appears The horse race in the fourth act Is most startling and as far as the audi ence can see, Is on the square. al though a suspicion turks in the mind that it is fixed for "Cold Molasses'' to win. The horses, three in number are sent off in good start on the endless platform and the curtain goes up with them racing at top speed. There is nothing slow about it for. the horses are running to sove their footing is ab- solutely certain and when finally Gold Molasses" shows to the front and wins by a nose, the impression remains that a sure enough race has been pulled off
 All the scenery and mechanical ef- fects for this great race scene will be brought to this city and as Mir Bur gess has always been a great favorite here it is safe to assert that he will be greeted by overfiowing houses Mir Burgess is playing in quite number of larger New England cities this year. as in all probability this will be the last time the public will have an op- portunity of seeing him in "The Coun- ty Fair" as he has accepted a new play for the coming season by George Ade which will have a metropolitan presen- tation sometime in the early fall next year.
 The matinees on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday are given for the bene- fit of the women and children and those who cannot attend the night performances. Seats can be ordered by mail or phone 605. Secure seats in advance and avoid the rush.

How the King of Italy Shocks the No-

 The other day His Majesty received personally in his private rooms a de- putation of stone cutters, some of whom had the day before been ar rested for demonstrating" in a some what lively manner about the royal carriage. Victor Emmanuel listened to all they had to say about their grievances. asked innumerable ques- tions. shook hands with each, promis- ed them redress (and he will certain ly keep his word) and thus made sev- eral hundred of new friends. But thi direct contact with the proletariat has shocked his entourage and he has gone down peg in their estimation.
 The royal children are seen every where about the city driving with their nurses, and are only distinguish able from other children by the toul bicyclists who follow the carriage. It is not at all uncommon for the car riage to stop at the swan pond on the Pincio, the center of the children's playground. Princess Yolanda and Princess Mafalda and Prince Umberto are allowed to get down and feed the swans, and l have several times seen them all amicably chatting with the other children there. exchanging food stuffs for the swans with childlike freedom, without the nurses or ser wants dreaming of interfering, show ing plainly what their orders were.

The Crown Prince had giv- en all his bread to the swans and could not persuade his sister to give him any of hers, so turned suddenly to little girl of three or four who stood beside him, and calmly appro- priated the bread which she had in ! her hand. The child set up a howl and planted her twoshands in Prince | Humbert's curls. who, in turn, unac- customed to such treatment. struggled | to escape, crying lustily.. The horri- 1 fled nurse of the aggressor tried to | hurry her charge off, but she refused l to let go until the bread was returned. 1 The royal attendant obliged the baby 1 Prince to return what he had taken, wherenpon he held out his hand to his | late antagonist. saying.

MALAY sIPERSTITIONs.

The Malays always abstain from taking. food during an eclipse of the sun or the moon and are exceedingly careful about their baths so as to pre- vent the attack of contagious diseases. The crow is a bird of especially i'll omen to the Malay, and if it is heard caving near a llabitation it means death to some one of the inmates In some other parts of the world if an owl alights on or near a house and hoots it is said to mean death or deso- lation'-the house may be burned or sold for debt or other misfortune. If a black cat crosses the road in front of a Malay he will at once turn back and pursue his journey by another way. The crossing of the black cat sig

Steinerts dream of annual productions of opera here, and in time home for its proper pre- sentation seems sure to be realized Ii has been a tremendous undertaking, but the interest and sympathy In the aims of its founder as shown by the advance sale of seats, has justified all the hard work and the great finan- cial outlay.

Do You Deliberately Torture Yourself Alive by NegIecting Your Stomach?
Remedy Free for the Asking.

Remedy Free for the Asking.
 A great outcry has arisen during the last few years against scientists who torture dumb animals alive in the in terests of science. How many people are there, however, who needlessly tor ture themselves by causing their stom- achs to overvork. Dyspepsia, indiges- ton, heartburn, sleeplessness, loss of vim and energy are the inevitable re- suit.
 Are you one of these?
 Why not give your stomach rest ?
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will re- lieve your stomach of all its work and do 1t for you. They are compounded of the very elements and do the work which the stomach performs when in normal health. aseptic pepsin, malt diastase and lige ingredients.
 Dr. Richardson in writing a thesis on treatment of dyspepsia and indiges- tion closes his remarks by saying, For those suffering from acid dyspepsia, shown by sour, watery risings, or for fldtulent dyspepsia shown by gas on stomach. causing heart trouble and diff hcult breathing, as we'll as for all oth- CT forms of stomach trouble, the safest treatment is to take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. I advise them because they con- tain no harmful drugs, but are com posed of valuable digestives, which act promptly upon the food eaten. nev- CT knew a case of indigestion or even chronic dyspepsia which Stuart's Tab lets would not reach"
 Cheap catnartic medicines claiming to cure dyspepsia and indigestion can have no effect whatever in actively di- gesting the food, and to call any ca thartio medicine cure for indigestion is a misnoner.
 Every druggist in the United States and Canada sells Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and they are not only the safest and most successful but the most scientific of any treatment for in- digestion and stomach troubles.
 Free sample on application.

 lis. Ring and Carr. -

'.The Gay White Way, the Messrs. Shuberts annual New York Casino re- view, which has eelipsed all of the sim liar productions of past seasons, comes to the Hyperion tonight and to-mor- row. The entire Casino cast, headed by the three star combination, of Jef- ferson De Angelis. Blanche Ring and Alexander Carr. surrounded by the splendid and massive production seen at that house, comes to this city. The scenery is by Arthur Voegtlin, of the New York Hippodrome, and it is said that the artist has given to the four beautiful sets suggestion of the spac- iousness of everything connected with that mammoth playhouse. Thirty bur lesques and travesties, numerous tune ful songs, duets and choruses, a be- wildering galaxy of youth and beauty clad in stunning gowns, and series of pictures of famous resorts on or near Broadway combine to make up an evenings entertainment that is as unique as it is delightful.

cellent teachers are extremely poor in business way and would think 1t dis honest to give recital and write up their own musical criticism, praising this and that which an X-ray would fail to discover Knowing these things are too often true makes one feel like crying out ''Hcw long, ohi how long?
