ADJUSTMENTS.

Meyer Harris & Co, in "A Touch Of
East Side Life" offer one of the best
of this seasons vaudeville playlets, a
feature that has emphaucally made
good" from the start. Meyer Harris
was the star of wine, Woman and
Song" and is not unknown to theatre
goers by any means. In his delinea-
ton of The East Side Hebrew he es-
says a bit of character work that has
caused him to be compared many
times to our famous Warheld. Mr..
Harris appearance at the Garrick this
week-the last of the seasons a
matter of more than passing interest.
In the production, Charles Nevins
and His College Girls" b. A. Rolfe
has hit upon a novel way Of bringing
out the abilities Of a clever comedian
and four talented girls. With enough
plot to make a story, an atmosphere
of college life and the dash and vim
of four sprightly singers and dancers,
he has formed an act that will please
not only lovers of comedy. but also
lovers Of music, refinement and grace.
Everett Scott, the comedian Of six
Little Girls and a Teddy Bear" Is one
of the best known liliputians Of the
day, and his entry into vaudeville TINS
season. is greeted with great pleasure.
For seasons past he hSs added laurels
to his reputation as comedian nS
being associated with several Broad
way shows, but in the above-named
production. in the part of the Teddy
Bear. he exceeds all past efforts Of his
career. Goldsmith & Hoppe, the mu-
sical comedians, direct from Pittsburs
and other features of less pretentions
will make up a great show for the ems
of the season.

HeadWay Among the
Farmers

Although there has been considerable
said about making a city beautiful.
there has not been very much done in
the way Of advice to farmers and rural
residents to make their properties at
tractive.
1t isn't necessary to tell many farm
ers that by making their homes and
surroundings attractive that they en-
hance the value intrinsically, as well as
in comfort and convenience. 1t is
noticeable that there has been great
change for the better IN this matter,
and a large percentage Of the property
owners are making improvements
which add to the worth as well as at
tractiveness of their farms.

Lady Hopes Hotels.

A very practical philanthropy is that
OF Lady Hope, who has opened two
self supporting hotels in London for
working people of moderate means.
One Of these buildings is known as
Hope House and the other as Con
naught House. They differ only in the
quality Of their accommodations. Hope
House, which is the less pretentious,
lodges guests at from $1.25 to 50 a
week, while Connaught House charges
from 81 to SO. Both are handsome,
comfortable buildings, supplied with
baths, restaurants, etc, at reasonable
prices. Connaught House has libraries,
concert rooms and such accessories as
characterize good hotels. Lady Hope
also conducts a bonnet shop, laundry
and a shop for the sale Of Photographic
supplies, all in the interest Of the
masses. She is the daughter Of the late
General Sir Arthur Cotton, who de-
vised a system of canals for irrigating
South African farms In times OF
drought, and the widow Of Sir James

I did not always feel as youthful and as well as do now. for there was a time when felt the full weight of my years. This was about four years ago, when was down with kidney disease and lumbago At that time my kidneys were terribly disordered and my back and limbs ached all the time: in fact, so sore and stin that 1t was all could do to get up or down without assist ance. At night I could not turn over sn bed and my rest was disturbed and broken on account of the frequency of the kidney action and the pain in my back. The slightest cold made me feel much worse for 1t always settled in my kidneys. I suffered in this man. ner for long time, trying first one remedy and then another, until I was actually discouraged. It seemed as if nothing would relieve me. Finally one day an old friend asked me why I d.d not try Doan's Kidney Pills and I procured a box. It was simply won derful the change made in my condi- tion. In short time I commenced to feel better. the pains in my loins and back ceased. my back itself became stronger and my Kidneys began to as- sume their normal functions. was cured by Deans Kidney Pills, and am now in unusually good health, and aside from cold. am in perfect condi- tion."

VETOES STREET TAX
mAYoR wAnD SAYS IT IMPOSES
Me9nmre Rmsaen narmfnGham City Council ny Narrow Margin ana Chief Executfve Has Un-
 doukfedIy Killed It.

Birmingham. Jan. 2s--fspecial. )--- Mayor George B. Ward today vetoed the ordinances providing for street tax for all males between the ages af IS ana 50 years of ss per annum.
 It is believed that the action of the Mayor means the death of the tax. as the~ measure only secured thirteen vites when 1t was adopted and this will be necessary to pass 1t over the veto. It Is reported that two or three of tho Aldermen have changed their minds since the adoption of the measure. as to its usefulness. In his Sofiicihi communication the Mayor sets up . number of groufds for vetoing the or. ,dinance. He poitns out that the city will have to become q heavy borrower in order to meet its pay roll for the present year. but asserts that it woulf be better to borrow | little more ra- toher than impose harassing tax at this time of financial depression. when working men are in some instances not employed
 The Mayor also sets up that the tex will reach those who are already reached and by its earnishment clause. with delinquent penalties. will impose hardships upon the poor.
