The New Phillips.

In every detail "A Glorious Time" is
carried out by FARRELL & Company at
the New Phillips. There are four of
these people and the comedy which
they are handling is fresh and side
splitting. Two doctors and two doc
tors wives make up the cast and hi
larity runs rife the whole time they
are on the stage.
In the place of the barrel jumpers
who were supposed to be here the

two colored boys, who have the black
face comedians backed off into the
wings. If you enjoy good, old-fash-
Toned coon songs you should hear
them, for they really know how to
sing them.
Fritz Christiana is not the coined
ian that he is the musician, because
his music is marvellous and cannot be
compared. But he fares well as a
comedian at that.

list to write really great American
play. In the masterful presentation
of the piece. Mr.. Miller has again prov

"Divorcons."

During the engagement of North
Bros, comedians which comes to the
Gennett theater for a weeks engage
ment with usual matinees commenc-
ing Monday night, April II, they will
present of the most powerful French
comedy dramas of the past several sea-
sons, one which ran for a whole season
at the Duke of York theater. London,
and at one of the leading Broadway
theaters in New York for more than a
season. This great play is "Divor'
cons" a celebrated French comedy
drama from the pen of the late Victo-
rien Sardou, one of the greatest writ
ers that the world has ever known.
The play was made famous by Miss
Grace George. which by the way, was
the only financial success OF her entire
stage career, but one in which she
made a decided hit and was a great
financial success for her management
North Bros, comedians, have secured
the exclr five rights for it's production
and it is said that they give an excel
lent performance of same.
"Divorcons'' is entirely different
from anything ever attempted by a
popular priced organization and in fact
very few stock companies would dare
attempt such difficult play as this
as it takes especially clever people to
present the play. It is a rare oppor-
tunity at popular prices and should be
taken advantage Of Special courte'
sizes will be extended to the ladies on
Monday night.

More Scout Cruisers.

WASHINGTON, November 11.-Con-
gress may be asked to provide for some
additional naval scout cruisers, con-
corning a new type of which consider
alton is being given in the navy de-
partment, with view to furnishing
the house and senate naval committees
with information on the subject. There
appears to be n difference Of expert
view in regard to the wisdom of pro-
viding for more naval scouts at this
time. Those who believe that the con-
gressional allotment for naval increase
could be more advantageously applied
in other directions base their opinion
on the assumption that it will be pos
sible, in time of war, to obtain mer-
chant vessels, which will answer the
purpose of scouts. 1t is urged against
this proposition, that there are few
entirely satisfactory merchant steamers,
which have a speed of twenty knots.
This is a speed which is not regarded
as sufficient in the performance of
duties devolving upon that particular
type of warship, and, moreover, there
are DOuHu 10 De ul1nculUleb anu ueldNs
in acquiring possession of such vessels,
to say nothing of their conversion.
While the plans for the new scouts have
not gone beyond the initial stage and
have assumed merely tentative shape,
for the purposes of discussion, there
appears to be agreement in favor of
scout, which shall be larger than the
Chester and sister ships. 1t is prob
able that the next scouts to be built
will have a displacement of at least
5000 tons, which ought to afford the
means of speed of twenty-seven knots,
with enlarged capacity for coal to fur
nish correspondingly increased steam
ing radius. OF course, greater speed,
up to thirty knots, for instance, will
depend upon sacrifices in other chief
characteristics. The motive power is
destined to be supplied by turbines,
rather than reciprocating engines, with
a certainty that the new scouts will
have heavier machinery than that Of
the Chester and Salem, the turbine
driven scouts now in commission.

AUGUST DRE|ER
TRUST LOSES
Collection of Inheritance Tax by
the Territorial Treasurer
Was Legal.

The Territory has won out in the suit
brought against it by Cecil Brown, trus.
tee under deed of trust of August
Dreier, and the 81 1854 inheritance tax
paid into the treasury by the trustee
under protest, and which he sued to
recover, remains in the possession of
the Territory. The decision in the
matter was rendered by Judge Robin
son yesterday. 1t is not, however, final,
as the plaintiff will appeal the case to
the supreme court. The appeal will be
perfected at once, so as to have the
matter heard as soon as possible and an
opinion rendered before the first of the
new year.
August Dreier on November 5, 1907,
executed to Cecil Brown as trustee 1906
shares of August Dreier, Limited,
valued at about 5000 share. The
stock remained in Dreier's name on
the books of the corporation during
his lifetime. He died May 10, 1908,
and the trust deo was not recorded
until after his death.
Treasurer Conkling claimed inheri-
tance tax on the shares conveyed in
trust, but the plaintiff contended that
the property was not subject to the
payment of an inheritance tax. Judge
Robinson, however, decides differently,
and the tax which was paid under pro-
test remains in the treasury. The $11,.
S64 was the legal two per cent. on the
total valuation of $599,200. Deputy
Attorney. General Sutton represented
the treasurer in the suit.

DIGESTIVE
DISORDERS
Cured by the Tonic Treatment AZ
the Case OF This Oregon
Man Proves.

The experience of sufferers from stom-
ach trouble, who have tried the tonic
treatment with DIR. Williams Pink
Pills, has been that their trouble has
disappeared as soon as the blood was
made pure. The numerous disorders Of
the stomach, as catarrh of the stomach,
acid stomach, nervous dyspepsia, neu-
ralgia of the stomach, gastritis, and
lack of tone, have the same underlying
cause-impure blood. In each case the
stomach is weak. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills supply. the stomach with the
strength it needs by enriching and puri-
flying the blood. Pure blood gives tone
to the nerves, muscles, and glands Of
the stomach and makes it capable Of
! properly performing the work of diges-
ton.
A recent cure of a severe case of stom-
ach trouble is that of Mr. l.. G. Coffin,
of No. ~ North Mora street, Arleta, q
suburb of Portland, Ore. He says:
"In the fall of 1905 began TO have
stomach trouble, which gradually grew
worse until / was not able to work
steadily. ] wasn't well for the follow
ing three years and for three months
was unable TO do any work at all. ]

ach hurt me all of the time. II was

it, was troubled with constipation
and often had sick headaches. / was
greatly run down in flesh and strength.

neither did me any good. They pro.
nounoed my trouble cataITh OF the

used In our family for n number Of years.
