The return of Mr.. Murphy brings
not only an old friend but the first
comedian of the day. There are no
either artists in Mr.. Murphy's# own
particular field since the death of
Joseph Jefferson and Sol Smith Rus
sell He has devoted his career to
the exploitation of native-soil Am
orleans, men who represent the most
characteristic phases of American
types. Some actors depict those Am
orleans who have developed their in
dividuality under foreign influence.
Not so Murphy. There is no mistakr
ing his American citizen, he is dis
tinguished by all that differentiates
him from the foreigner. He has been
called the Mark Twain Of the stage
and this happy comparison points
the most significant aspect of his
art Tim Murphy has chosen wor-
thy work in preserving the. native
American type, 1t combines shreWd-
ness with Kindness, simplicity with
quaintness. wisdom with humor
You cannot beat him, you cannot
hate him, you cannot help admiring
and loving him and yielding to his
laughtermaking fun. Mr. Murphy is
to appear at the opera house on Oc-
tober IL in his latest success, Gu
pic and the Dollar written for him

NEWS OF THE STAGE.


That breezy little western musical
comedy. "Lasso Land" was present
ed to a large audience at Shelton S
opera house Friday night, Miss Ada
Meade is the bright and particular
star of the company. She possesses
an excellent voice and much ability
as an actress, and combines the two
accomplishments In manner which
wins applause unstinted. Her rendi-
ton of My Old Kentucky Home
was worth the price of admission.
The plot and cast of Lasso Land
are typically western The plot is
well defined and the dialogue is not
conglomeration of silly flubbery,
The lines are bright and catchy and
the musical numbers are quite in
keeping with the spirit of the play.
The scenes are laid in Colorado
town and the action centers around
Kate Carson, who is elected sheriff
over the opposition of Bowie Jim, a
Spanish rancher and corrupt poll
tician. Miss Meade essays the role of
Kate Carson and interprets the part
in a most capable manner. She was
forced to respond at the end of each
of her solos and when she had finish
ed singing MY Old Kentucky Home
in the second act she was called out
for the third time.

THE DANGER IN DUST.
Why indoor Occupations Are More
Hazardous Than Others.

In spite of the primal obligation
of man to the dust it appears from
an exhaustive study of the relation
of the various industrial occupations
to popular ailments and diseases,
made by George M. Kober of the
Georgetown Medical college and
printed in the current Bulletin OF
Labor, that dust is one of the great
est enemies with which people of
the world have to contend. Almost
every occupation involves its own pc
culiar kind of dust, and the breath
ing of it into the lungs and respira-
tory passages produces disease.
/ Aside from the well known effects
of Initiated air. the particles of dust
which fly in the various manufac-
lures do the greatest damage. In
Northampton, in this state, returns
for twelve years show that among
grinders, polishers and cutters dis
eases of the lungs were responsible
for ~ per cent of the mortality, of
which "a per cent was tuberculosis.
Needle polishing in Germany is so
bad that one Investigator found
! only one person in eight of those
pursuing the calling to be over 40
years of age. The Quincy stonecut-
tiers are shown to be susceptible TO
consumption.
Seventy-two per cent of the deaths
among the mental grinders of Solin-
gen are due to consumption, as com
pared with 35.5 per cent among the
general population. Workers in mi
ca dust and bronzing powders used
in the manufacture of wall papers,
fancy souvenir cards, holdings,
frames, etc. are found predisposed
to diseases of the respiratory passa-
ges, and the bronze powder in addi-
ton is likely to produce headache
and diseases of the digestion
Persons engaged in glass cutting
not only suffer from inhalation of a
sharp and irritating dust, but also
! from lead poisoning from the use of
putty powder Gem finishers also
have a high consumption and sick
rate The emery and oorundum in
dustry must be classed with the
trades intrinsically dangerous to
health, on account of the peculiarly
Irritating character of the dust.
: Coal miners, charcoal men, fire.
men, chimney sweeps, etc, who are
exposed TO the constant inhalation
of coal dust and SCOT, suffer badly
from catarrh, but not especially from
consumption. This should be graft
flying information to a much wider
circle than the followers of these
callings, since in the smoke-ridden
modern cities the condition of nearly
everybody approximates that of the
coal miner Boston Transcript.
