LITTLE JOHNNY JONES'"
A, Famous Musical Production a
the Grand Theater Next
Wednesday Night.

Among the list of notable attrac-
lions booked in this city for the COM
ing season, there is perhaps none
that attracts more interest than Lit
tie Johnny JONES'" which is booked
for next Wednesday night. Little
Johnny Jones" is a musical melo-
drama which last season scored
what was unquestionably the biggest
success of all the new musical pro-
auctions. Last year it was played
in only a few towns outside of New
York City, therefore, the fact that
it is to be seen in this city is prob
ably one of the most important the
atrical announcements that will be
made by the local management this
year. Little Johnny ones is
from the pen of George M. Cohn, who
brightest musical plays. Mr.. Cohan
has given to the stage and some of it's
is the author of the lines as well as
being the composer of the music,
and has given this production the
benefit of his personal stage manage
ment. The music of Little Johnny
Jones" is said to be one of it's most
attractive features, Mr.. Cohn having
composed over twenty song hits for
this production.

Without Foundation.

The library in this city does not
belong to the city. The city could
not sell it and build larger or bet
ter one. Mr.. Carnegie built the
building and the city has perpetual
lease upon it conditioned that it ex-
pend 10 per cent yearly on its main
tenance.-Grays HarbOr Post.
The foregoing statement of The
Post is utterly without foundation
in fact. The Aberdeen Public Lii
brary property is the absolute prop
erty of the city of Aberdeen, with
no mortgage, lien or other Obliga-
tiUn of record against it. Should
the city decide to sell the property
tomorrow it's title would be peri,
fectly good. 1t would not be keep
ing good faith with Mr.. Carnegie,
but would be entirely legal. All that
Mr.. Carnegie holds is copy of the
city council records, which agrees to
expend at least $1,000 year for
ten years to maintain the library, a
resolution the council has full pow
err to rescind at any time without al
fecting the title of the library prop
erty, and that piece of property is
much an asset of the city as the city
hall, or any other realty owned by
the municipality.
Should it be wise in the future
to change the location Of the IL
brary, the present site and building
could be sold and perfect title given
the purchaser. The agreement held
by Mr.. Carnegie is in no sense lien
upon the property, nor does it even
specify the location of the build
ing his money has paid for---to the
comfort, enjoyment and well-being
of the people of Aberdeen.

The census inquiries show that a
check to prosperity is followed by a
falling off in the number of marriages ;
but the divorce mills are run at
greater speed. The increase in di-
vorces appears to be proportionately
three times greater than the increase
of population. Here is problem for
the study of reformers. 1t would APP
pear that there is too ready opening
of the gateways for both marriage
and divorce. The difficulty of organ
izing proper restraints is multiplied
forty-six times by the division of au-
thority among forty-six sovereign
states. Here is matter for the Con-
gres of Governors to talk over when
they shall get together at Washington.

MRS. LINDSTROM PASSES AWAY.

Mrs. John E. Lindstrom died last
Thursday, at st. Joseph's hoipital,
after long illness, a stomach trouble
from which she had suffered for many
years. The funeral took place Satur-
day afternoon from Woods UNDER
taking parlors, Rev. Cbas. McDer-
moth officiating.
Mrs. Anna Lindstrom, who was the
mother of the late John Lindstrom,
was native of Sweden, and had re-
sided in Aberdeen for the past seven
years. Her husband died about four
teen months ago, and the tragic end
of her son, John, last summer grieved
her sorely. Her surviving children
are Carl and Andrew Lindstrom and
Mrs. John Johnson, all of Aberdeen.

newspaper men should arrange the de-
tails Of the encounter. which will prob
ably take place some time next March.
Gotch did not attend the meeting. but
later, however. Hackenschmidt and
the champion met Both cordially
agreed to let bygones be bygones, and
Gotch intimated his willingness to let
the newspaper mems committee settle
the details of the match.
Gotch's victory over the supposedly
invincible Russian Lion" last April
startled the English speaking in the
wrestling world. Hacks reputation and
his ability as wrestler were, known
the world over. He had been the pride
of Europe for years and had beaten so
many high class wrestlers that his
match with GOtch was considered only
a little more than an exercise gallop
for him.
After wrestling for one hour and for
| ty-five minutes without either one
gaining n fall Hackenschmidt deliber-
ately quit after many appeals to the
referee, claiming that the American
was not wrestling. but trying to injure
him for life. Hackenschmidt is I'M
questionably wonderful wrestler,
and that he will be favorite over
Gotch when they meet in London there
can be no question.
GOtch is now at the zenith of his
powers and will make a tremendous
effort to win decisively over the Rus
sian this time, and his struggle will
be watched with interest all over the
world. He has been wrestling pro-
fessionally nine years. and he was
champion of America at the catch-as-
catch-can style nearly FIVE years, but
last April he gained more honors and
added more to his reputation in two
hours Of his match with Hacken-
schmidt than in nine years Of his
wrestling career.
An American athlete who recently
returned from Europe tells some inter-
esting things about the wrestling sit
uation there.
Europe Is so full Of wrestling
giants just now" he says, "that even
the great Hackenschmidt Is becoming
a forgotten back number. Hack has
nearly dropped out of sight. He is
afraid Of his life when anybody men,
lions Padoubny. Ivan Padoubny stands
six feet six inches in his socks ard

built, not fat. and with the greatest

arms are as thick as an ordinary

and nobody has a chance with him.
Gotch will get shock when he
bumps into that brrch He'd lee.
about q minute with Padoubny. Zbys-
co is a joke. but there are dozens Of
real giants who could beat Gotch.
About $50 pounds is the fashionable
weight for wrestlers over there. No
wonder Mahmout, the Turk, skipped
over to America to look for work. He
was like kid in that crowd. The
Swiss wrestlers all over France and
Germany are the class II the lot

the statement that there is no eco

only. That shows how the protective

Ceremony of Sect of Brahmins In

Six thousand Hindus and a select
few English officials have recently wit
messed in the neighborhood of Madras
remarkable religious ceremony, the
principal actors being Soivrastas, a
sect of Brahmins.
The festival was called "the march

enough named. The proceedings were
In honor of Brahma and Vishnu, the
gods of water and fire.
Preparations for the ceremony had
been going on for month. A trench
% feet long and 10 feet deep was dug,
and in it fire was kindled. At sun
rise 40 fanatics, who were to demon
strate their asbestos nature, slowly
marched around the furnace bearing
the curious idols. The Soivrastas were
clothed in yellow tunics and without
hesitation entered the fire trench sing
