The Theatorum, on West Main
street, opened last night and had
q good attendance, but the man.
agement wants to make apology
for the show presented. The
fact that a new and unadjusted
machine was put in service causd
many breaks in the program.
This has all been remedied, and
a good show is promised for to-
night.
Yesterday afternoon a repre-
sentative of the Picayune listen
ed to series of short talks by
William Jennings Bryan deliver
ed from a photograph at the
music store of MIR. A. Monson.
These records were made by the
Great Commoner at his home IN
Lincoln. They are among the
plainest records ever made. One
who has heard Mr.. Bryan speak
will readily recognize his voice
and the wonderful charm and
manner for which he is so fam
GUS. Mr.. Monson carries ten OF
the Bryan records, each of which
is composed of telling passages
chosen by Mr.. Bryan from his
favorite orations. To our mind
the record Immortality, SHOULD
prove to be the most popular OF
the list. 1t is void of politics and
consists of selections taken from
his famous lecture The Prince
Of Peace. 1t portrays the beau
ties of the life beyond" in a
beautiful dies ription of supreme
faith. Those who have machines
should secure these records, and
in the evenings at home. after
the days toll is over, an hour
with Bryan would not only prove
beneficial in enlightening one
upon the public national ques-
tons of the hour, but would be
restful and soothing to the tired
mental faculties.

are not; a correct diagnosis of
our case reveals the fact that we
are effected with some kind of a
hoof disease, which was con-
tracted by long and continual
wading Of mad and water. When
we were asked by the physician
if we had not formed a habit of
wading mud and water, we re-
piled that we had been splitting
the mud between our homes and
Elm street for two years, but
hardly thought that would be
sufficient to constitute a habit.
We have been advised by coun-
sci to file a damage suit against
the city, provided this malady
assumes a chronic form, but be-
ing highly interested in the finan-
cial welfare of the city, we do
not desire to take any steps that
would likely result in bankrupt
ing the city, and for that reason
we will have to refrain; however
we would like to suggest to the
city dads, when you are sitting
in judgment in the more import
ant affairs of the city govern
ment, do not forget our condi-
ton,
To make our complaint mole
specific, definite and certaid, we
would stote, allege and say that
it is a sidewalk we want, and
while we would prefer a concrete
walk, as provided for by the
ordinance of the city, but if this
cannot be had, give us walk.

IS NOT ALL IRRELIGION
Writer Offers Theory as to Cause Of
Decreased Church At
tendance.

We make a great mistake, l think,
in attributing to irreligion the break
ing away from church life Of large
numbers Of intelligent and pure
minded persons. Whatever proper
ton Of this is due to lax morality or
to the love Of pleasure, there is also
much that arises from a vague sense
Of %unreality in the position and
claims Of the ministry. People have
studied the psychology of religious
experience; they have looked ont
more broadly upon the world they
have ~ponlered the phenomena of
spiritual life appearing outside of
Christian boundaries; they have
sought and found communion with
God unmediated by sacerdotal per-
missions and authorities and their
lives have, in consequence, grown
away from a ministry hedged about
with unnecessary survivals Of unveri-
fed theory. There is nothing new in
this. 1t is as old as mysticism. 1t
is merely more general to-day than
ever before. True mysticism, which
rests on belief in immediacy Of ac-
cess to God, has found a powerful
ally in true psychology. Moving in
to a larger freedom Of the spirit, the
enlightened religious consciousness
slips, with less conjunction, ties of
ecclesiastical custom that seem no
longer essential to reality.-Atlantic
Monthly.

NOT A FOR A DRINK.

A Scottish architect was in Pales-
tine when news reached him Of an
addition to his family circle. He
provided himself with some water
from the Jordan for the christening
Of the infant and returned to Scot
land. On the Sunday appointed for
the ceremony he went to church and
sought out the sexton, in order to
hand over the precious water to his
care. He pulled the flask from his
pocket, but the sexton held up a
warming hand and came nearer to
whisper, mo, the moo, sir he said,
''no the moo. Maybe after the kinks

He GUESSED HER AGE.

Among the corps of Instructors IN
one Of Washington's high schools is
a woman highly esteemed as a teach
er Of American history. The class
under her care had under considera-
ton one day topics concerning the
civil war, when one lad volunteered,
in illustration Of some point, a lurid
account Of a battle in which, he
claimed, an uncle of his had partici-
pated.
The teacher interposed to OBJ
serve that the anecdote could hardly
be true, as the uncle in question was
near her own age, and she was not
born until after the close of the war.
At this the boy seemed a triae
chagrined at being so evidently in
the wrong. After a few moments of
embarrassed silence, he said, with
the naive air Of one who has much
the best Of the situation:
ooh, but, Miss Blank, | did not
mean the revolutionary war pip
pincott's.

HAD CROUCH WITH HIM
Nswsboy's Sarcastic Comment Amply
Justified by Circumstances Of
the Case.

A gust of wind snatched the new
fall headgear from a stout man on
the Euclid car the other morning
Just as the car slowed up to wait for
a passenger train to get by at East
Ffty-ffth street, saws the Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
He made a futile grab for it, but
it rolled along the curb for several
rods. Then a newsboy stopped shout
ing "Uxtryp long enough to catch
the hat on the wing and make a
squirt for the car before it started
on.
Here's your hat, mister" he
shouted, as he handed the hat over
to the anxious-looking, corpulent
passenger.
The fat man took the hat and
looked at a chunk Of mud smeared
over the crown, as if to say, "That
wouldn't have been there if YOU had
been a little quicker" Then he
pulled the hat down on his head
more firmly than before and resumed
the reading Of his paper.
Mice, ~preciative old codger, amt

boy. Then he jumped off the car
whistling.

FEW R in VIENNA.

For a city Of more than 900
inhabitants Vienna certainly enjoys
an amazing immunity from fires.
The report of the city fire depart
ment just issued shows that the
total losses from fire in 1906 was less
than $130,OOO. The department
cost the city about $780, 900.
In all there were 1,169 fires,
an average Of a little over
three a day. Of these 81 we're
classified as large, 1876 medium, and
976 small fires. T~hirty-four were in
public buildings, 496 in private
houses, and 109 in the streets. The
small total Of the aggregate loss is
due not only to the activity Of the
fire department, but also to the solid
construction Of all buildings in the
city, public and private alike. Whilst
practically the whole population live
in flats, it is seldom that a fire will
extend beyond the apartment in
which it breaks out.-Pall Mall Ga
