GAVE RECEPTION
AFTER MATINEE

Saturday the Empire Stock Com
pany closed an engagement of three
nights and two matinees with the of
fering In Old Virginia" The at
tendance at the two matinees was
fair, but the night audiences were a
disappointment.
A better patronage was de-
served by the company, which con-
tains quite a sprinkling of dramatic
talent. Each of the five plays pre-
sented was we'll staged and the
lines handled acceptably.. Miss Len
ton, as leading lady, interpreted her
parts we'll, as did also Miss Naylor
Miss Maud Folsom attracted atten--
ton by her work at Saturdays mat
inee in "A Bachelors Troubles this
being her only appearance during
the engagement Mr.. Hadley showed
painstaking training and made a
good impression.
Efforts have been made to induce
the company to play a return en-
gagement in the late spring. Should
they appear again it is safe to say
that they will be greeted by larger
houses. They came unknown but
have made a favorable impression
upon those who heard them.
At the close of the matinee Satur-
day, an invitation was extended to
the ladies and children to come on
the stage and meet the players A
number responded, every member OF
the company being introduced.

new YORK COTTON
MARKET EASIER
Locally Orders Lacking,
Holders Firm.

New York was the only American
cotton market open yesterday, New
Orleans being closed on account of
Mardi Gras. The weakness at Liver
pool which developed before the op-
ening on this side, was influential in
bringing about a loss of to 10 points
at New York at the start-off, March
being considerably the heaviest suf-
ferer Each position seemed to be
playing a lone hand, disregarding the
actions of its fellows. March eased
off a point, then firmed up material
~ May spurted, then relapsed, con-
tinuing with small fluctuations to the
end. July improved, then lost the
gains and see-sawed between 1856
and 1857. October bulged points
but subsidized to a level below the
opening The close was to 5 points
net lower for the day. Spot prices
were unchanged.
Liverpool opened to points high
er, not quite so good as due At the
early afternoon call a decided weak
ness was evident, prices slumping
still further. The close was barely
steady, unchanged to 1-2 point lower
for the near positions, but points
higher for later contracts. The mar
ket is due l to points lower this
morning. Spots were advanced 8
points, the sales being 10000 bales,
the same as for the day before, and
larger than any previous days.
Locally the market was quiet, a
few bales of good cotton being sold on
basis of II IA cents. Offerings of
desirable grades were small. Quo
tations are unchanged from Monday.

PREACHERS AGAINST
SNOWY WEDDINGS

PITTSBURG, PENN, March s.
(Special Ministers here have start
ed a crusade against fashionable
church weddings. Leading the revolt
is the Rev. j. H. McIlvane, pastor of
Calvary Episcopal Church, who In
1902 married Alice Thaw to the Earl
of Yarmouth. He delivered a sermon
that stirred every ministerial associ-
alton to action today.
He said weddings of the day in Pit
tsburg were arranged and carried
out by the florist, the same as funer-
ais are handled by the undertakers.
THE sacred respect due the church
is not present at these weddings"
said the minister, "and the clergyman
comes to be a mere nothing, neces-
sary, of course, but sandwiched in
in any old place. The slowest music
is played often that from operas, as
the bridal party marches up the aisle.
This gives the guests longer time
to look at the brides dress, and to do
it they even stand up on the their
seats

edy that we know is fight-that we can
back up with all our reputation for hon
esty and square-dealing.
And wouldn't you rather buy that kind
of a remedy? Wouldn't you rather hold
us responsible than to hold no one
responsible? We are right here, right
where you can get at us every day in the
week, right where one false move on our
part will bring upon us your condenl-
nation, the loss of your friendship, your
patronage, your influence Can we afford
to tell you anything that you will learn
later is not absolutely true?
Are you not safer in taking our word
for the merits of an article, than YOU are
to rely on the printed statement of pa
tent medicine manufacturer, whom YOU
never even saw and probably never will2
Common sense most emphatically tells
you that we cannot afford to depart one
hairs breadth from the rigid truth.
None of us can deny that there is such
a disease known as "catarrh" Those
who have it, or who have had it, know
that it is one of the hardest diseases to
cure.
Perhaps the worst thing about catarrh
is its prevalence. Almost everyone
especially in climate like ours-has
catarrh in some form or another That is
what has made the 'catarrh cure" bust
ness SO profitable. There are so many
thousands of cases of the disease and it is
so hard to cure, that the patent medicine
manufacturers have reaped a harvest in
preparing remedies that appeal to this
large class of sufferers.
One of the most serious things about
catarrh is that it breaks down the sys-
tenn, so that the sufferer becomes prey
to other diseases. This fact has led the
proprietors of so many "catarrh cures"
to advertise their remedies as specific
for almost every disease under the sun.
We have ONE catarrh cure that we
are willing to say to you; eve know
this is all right. Take it home and use it
with the full assurance that if it does not
cure you, you can bring it back to us
and we will promptly refund your
money" That catarrh cure is

PREPARING FOR
FLEETS COMING
Flower Festival on CaIifOr-
MIA Coast.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Mar. g.
(SpeciaD -Whether frolic or a fight
awaits Admiral Evans upon the ar
rival of the fleet, much of the principal
action of the fleet will take place in
Santa Barbara channel, within view
of this city
In preparation for the coming OF
the big fleet, Admiral Swineburn
lately was here with his squadron OF
cruisers, the Big Four that lately
arrived from the Asiatic station, and
careful surveys of the shore line, both
of the mainland and the islands, have
been made, for the advantage of the
navigators of the battleships and
those that accompanied them.
Japanese agents also have been
busy in the channel Only the other
day the captain of a Pacific Coast
Steamship Company packet found a
Japanese passenger in the act of TAX
ing a series of photographs of the is
lands and the mainland here.
But it is not of war that the people
of Santa Barbara are thinking. II
is festivity.
A flower festival to be held in
April, when the feet is her e,already
is planned to the fullest detail.
committee, composed of artists whose
winter homes are here, is acting I'M
der direction of Admiral McCalla'S
general committee in planning the
festival
A floral parade will be one of the
features, and a battle of flowers OF
the Ocean Boulevard, in front o
Plaza del Mar, where will be erected
a reviewing stand for Admiral Evans
and his officers.
A floral ball will be held at the
Potter hotel at which at least 5000
dancers may be on the floor at once.

To-day we want to talk to
you about EsCatarrh cures"

During the past few months we have
been publishing what some of our good
friends have called "heart-to-heart talks
on patent medicines
That name suits us all right-"heart-
to-heart talks" is just what we have
intended. There can't be anything more
serious to a sick man or sick woman
than his ailment and the remedies he or
she takes to cure-it
Our talks have Oeen "heart-to-heart"
Every word we have printed has been
written in absolute earnestness and sim
cerity, and judging from what our GUS
toners tell us, we have not been talking
IN vain We are convinced that our
trankness has been appreciated, and that
