one of the most brilliantly spectacular
shows the Hippodrome has yet put pm.

show in it's varying scenes a baseball
game of real players in progress, the
arrival of a circus and pitching of the
tent; an exciting boat race in which

UPl ERA OF
CHEERFULNESS is HERE.

Every decade has its peculiar
emotion, the outgrowth of sentiment
distinctive of the times. How refresh
ing 1t was to near the other day from
a friend that he believed 1.-The popu-
larity of happiness was at hand
actually the rage. In years past there
have been periods noted for anathema
and criticism, for religious revivals and
for TRANCE and startling revelations,
but now we have again a recurring era
of cheerfulness.
Similar changes are manifest in lit
erature-each century Dr. half century
has it's own peculiar features. 1t one
time literature was chiefly religious,
composed of sermons, dissertations and
discussions upon various points of doc
trine; then there was an era or diary
and essay writing; then an era of his
tory; then the sudden reaction to
Fielding, Sterne and Smollet; then
back again to poetry, art and fiction
in vast variety, for the literature OF
the day is the reflection OF popular
emotion.
AS a natural evolution we have the
era of cheerfulness-gloom is fading
rapidly into the mists of the past, not
only in literature, but in conduct and
even in Unconstitutional Magazine.

HOW TO BE HAPPY
in VACATION DAYS.

Vacation days are just the time to
cultivate c~heerfulness, one might as
well practise that as rowing or SWIM
ming-it Is an accomplishment that
would assuredly be oftener used If once
we'll learned-and you will find that
you have a capacity for wholesome,
genial good-nature that you never
dreamed of possessing. This does not
mean that you will never be annoyed,
because even the most cheerful people
become very indignant at times, but a
moment after they are laughing at
their own wrath. This is not what ag-
~gravates your n~eighbors-it Is the con
slant whine and yowl. A good, ex-
plosive blast of anger Is tolerated. 1t is
possible to think cheerfully, and to
control your thoughts when they
threaten to slip off into gloomy chan
nels. Try it and see if you do not be-
lieve that the infectious habit OF
cheerfulness'' is one of the hopeful
signs of the times. If not, post up OPP
timistic notices about your den, office
and living rooms, and you'll choose
c~heerfulness every time n refuse all
substitutes. The era of cheerfulness
promises a time of general content and
happiness and Astounding prosperity
and plenty which even the apprehen-
sion OF panic canno d~issolve.-JoC

search of Gisanto Rosino, SO years old,
of New York, who, they believe, muir
dered the 4-year-old daughter of Dom
mick Sclonto, who keeps a boarding
house near the brick yards. The mai
treated body of the little girl was found
this morning in a gully after an all
night search.
Rosino Is described as about five feet
eight inches in height, of medium build,
with brown hair and inustache. HE
had one tooth out in the upper part OF
his mouth on the right side. He came
here on Friday afternoon from New
York to visit Scionto. Last night, after
they had supper Rosino took the CIR
by the hand and left the house witt
her.
From the fact that they knew Roslno
pretty we'll. and also from the further
fact that he wore no hat or coat, they
supposed he was merely taking th'
child for a walk. Neither Rosino no.
the girl returned, and her parents be

for them after about an hour. A searcf
of the n~eighborhood was made in tn
dark with lanterns, but no trace o.
either the man or the girl was found.

HIS MIND POWER
Prof. Neuman to Find Objects
Hidden by Committee Selected
by The Star.

A demonstration of mind reading
will be given by Professor Neuman, OF
st. Petersburg, under the auspices OF
THE STAR at noon today. A COM
mittee of prominent citizens has been
selected to judge whether the professor
carries out his feat without a trick.
Neuman says that he will find unaided
any object which the committee may
conceal from him within the city linz
It's. He will astart out from THE
STAR office at IL o'clock sharp in a
carriage which he will drive blind
folded, and search for the object.
Members of the committee will accom-
pany him in the search.
Neuman has accomplished the same
thing in Boston, his manager says,
though in hat city it took him four
hours. Neuman thinks that the New
arker's mind Is easier to read than the
Bostonian's, and expects to accomplish
the same result in less time today.
Neuman will depend upon mind read
ing, he says. to find the object. 1t
may be a ring in a department store,
a trunk in a railroad station. or any
thing, in short, within the city limits.
The public has become interested In
the outcome of this test, and 1t Is ex-
pected that there will be a large crowd
at THE STAR Office today to see the
professor start.
Professor Neuman is at Blaney's in
the prince of Spendthrifts" this week.
The committee selected by THE
STAR Is as follows: Judge Charles f.
Herr, chairman; Addison B. POLAND,
Phi. D., city superintendent of schools;
Health officer David d. Chandler,
Chief Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd,
Commissioners Arthur r. Denman n

MISS KATHRYN ROTH
AT THE ARCADE THEATRE.

The entertainment at the Arcade this
week possesses man. c~ommendable
features besides the ever new animated
pictorial creations. One novelty in par
ticular Is Miss Katheryn Roth's "Trom-
bologue,'' a unique musical idea.
Miss Elesea Harris's singing was
greatly appreciated, and her songs are
the choicest of the recent Illustrated
compositions. Arthur H.. Bell proves to
be an exceptionally clever ventrilo-
quist. Mat McNafly's piano rag-time
playing was applauded. Nine. Emma
Eames, the American prima donna,
and a stirring Sousa march reproduced
on the monograph rounded out a most
satisfactory holiday bill. Tomorrow's
motion pictures will be entirely new,
as will also the many added features,
as far as possible. George w. Scott
will introduce his personally arranged
musical comedy medley. A third
change of pictures in their entirety and
other features occurs on Friday.

The program is one OF more than Or

standpoint there is one number that

strangely, his very act made the au-
dience scream with laughter. and at
the end of it there were four recalls.
The number was the Avon Comedy
-Four, which had been substituted for
1.-THE Sunny South" a plantation act

The Avon Comedy -Four presented a
schoolroom scene and made their com
cdy with a slapstick and some has
wasser jokes. They chased each other
up n down stage, tumbled over desks
and did other screamingly funny
things.
Flo Irwin appeared in a one-act
comedy entitled 1.-THE Bigamy of Mrs.
Benson" She was supported by Ro-
land Carter. Ben Roth and Miss

seemed to be extraneous matter, as the
playlet was mostly a monologue for
Miss Irwin. There is nothing original
in the plot CD of 1.-THE Bigamy of Mrs.
Benson" There is her first husband

her girl friend, who. when husband
