are problems. however. which should
partially settle themselves in time. In
some cases labor has been satisfied
with moderate advances. thus avoid

one. in January there was a mod

food and partly TO the break in cotton.
The true remedy for present high
prices is general increase of produc-
ton. especially of food products and
raw materials. of which the supplies
generally are moderate. if not actual!
ly deficient. This country is preem
inently in need of great increase in
agricultural products. Our farmers
do not begin To turn out the product

many cases their product could b.

Eight Bells.

Unlike most theatrical productions
once seen, Eight Bells,'' has the eff
feet of creating a desire in the specta-
tor to witness the performance again
and again. Eight Bells will be pre-
a special matinee.
Eight Bells is different from any
other stage performance. 1t contains
comedy and pantomime. with any
amount of mechanical effects. the lat
ter being remarkable for the genius dis
played in their arrangement. The
piece was written by John Byrne, the
eldest of the famous brothers Byrne,
acrObats and pantomimists. 1t is I'M
necessary to detail the story. The
plot is sufficient to retain interest in
the play and the Byrnes with their nu-
merous specialties, acrobatic and 9TH
erwise, do the rest. The comedy part
of the piece-which is in reality a spec
tacle-evokes continuous laughter. The
mishaps of the school master and the
varied unpleasant experiences of Dan
iel McGoZZle. create an amount of mer-
riment seldom SEEN
In the first act the Brothers Byrne
are given an opportunity to display
their agility and amuse the audience by
their funny and clever pantomime
work. In this act carriage, which
seems to becomposed entirely of doors
and wires is introduced and the ath-
letes give an exhibition of acrobatic
work in and about the vehicle that is
difficult to excel. The revolving ship
in the second act is undoubtedly the
most wonderful piece of mechanism
ever staged. The vessel filled with
passengers turns completely over and
over in the water and is finally wreck
ed in the storm.

Samuel johnson and the Sauce.

"Long ago" writes correspondent
of the London Spectator, Il had an
elderly acquaintance who told me tina:
she had formerly known an aged lady
who in her youth had met Samuel
Johnson at dinner. The matriarch-so
to call her-being asked whether she
remembered any sayings or" doings OF
the great man. unwillingly admitted
that the only action Of his which she
could recall was that he took up a

complacently poured its contents down

"Golden Girl"

The company is headed by the we'll
known vaudeville star, Willard Cur
tiss, who is known far and wide for
his clever delineaticns of the college
boy type, and in his character Of Jeffer-
son Carter, "yearling cadet" at West
Point. he has ample scope to display
his ability as comedian. In secur-
ing the services of Miss Marie Flynn.
for the principal female role, Dixie
Columbia Curtis the management
found an ideal actress we'll fitted for
a difficult part that runs the entire
gamut of acting, from light comedy to
heavy dramatic situations. Miss
Flynn's many roles with leading stock
organizations brings such a role well
within her reach and as 1.-The Golden
Girl" has achieved one of the hits of
her career.
The balance of the cast contains in
it's personnel such we'll known names
as Franklin Farnum. Jos. Neimyer.
Chas. Horn, Nina Davis. Lew Fuller
and Montrose Mccoy. The chorus
numbers fifty and is said to contain
the usual number of beauties for which
the Singer shows are famous.

Held BY Etiquette.

When Dom Pedro. then emperor Of
Brazil, was entertained at the White
House he had been told by confused
senator that it would be expected that
he, the emperor, should be the last of
the guests to depart.
The presidents wife, however, in
formed her other guests that they
would be expected to follow, not pre-
cede. the royal party in leaving the
house.
The result was that no one dared
to 60 for fear Of a breach Of etiquette,
but at O'Clock in the morning a tired
woman pretended illness, and the dead
lock was broken.
Great Is etiquette, but common sense
is sometimes allowable.

Political stock-taking in Tammany
Hall, after two months of the admins
tration OF Mayor Gaynor, reveals a
condition in that historic organization
that borders on panic. What has
been regarded as the most effective
political machine in the country is
now face to face with a situation it
has not known before
The district ciubhOuSeS are for the
most part deserted. Many of the
braves have stopped paying dues, some
because they have lost their political
positions and cannot afford it, and
others, in office, because they can see
no benefit to themselves in contribute
ing.
A Lonesome Lot
The district leaders. who ordinarily
after the election of a democratic
mayor would sit in state and send for
those they wished to punish or re.
ward, now sit all but alone in the de-
serted headquarters. The few who
keep them company are there in graf
itude for benefits received rather than
in hope of favors to come.
Mayor Gaynor has three wears and
ten months more to serve. No Tam
many man cares to predict what the
condition of the organization will be
at the expiration Of his administra
ton. In some districts there is talk
of closing headquarters for a time. or
| of getting cheaper rooms. The work
ers know that it is going to be harder
than ever to sell tickets for chOwder
parties and district outings, and it is
not unlikely that some of these func.
tions will be abandoned this summer
Loss Of Patronage.
Amy district leader will admit that
Tammany Hall, as an organization
would be better off if Mayor Gayno,
had been defeated. Then the loss OF
patronage. which means not alone the
distribution of places, but influence
with the administrative departments
as well. would be attributed to the for
tunes of war.
1t is hard work to make the Tamma
ny workers understand why, with the
election of the man they worked for
cheered for and fought for, the district
leader cannot prevent police interfer-
ence with corner saloon, obtain ia

THE CAT AND THE BABY.

A Medical Opinion N to the Ira
dition Of . Feline Danger.
Several physicians have Investigated
the ancient story that cats suck the
breath Of babies. and DR.. ]. Rice Gibbs
declares that the theory Is ridiculous.
Cats occasionally kill children, he de
clares, but they do 1t in q different
fashion.
1T has been stated that cats nos
trils are 50 formed as to make per.
feet juncture with the nose Of baby
said DR.. Gibbs, land that a little
pressure would push them upward
and make them a perfect At. Then
the cats chin would rest over and be
low the baby's mouth, preventing II
from opening to relieve the strangula,
ton while the cat sucked its breath.
That Is all rot. The manner in which
little children are killed by cats Is
this: A cat looking for warm place
to curl up and sleep lies down upon
the chest Of little child, and, being
quite heavy-many cats are as heavy
as little babies simply brushes the
breath out of the child's lungs, and
strangulation takes place, but not
through sucking the child's breath.
1.-THE idea that only black cats kill
little babies is equally ridiculous. 1t
is simply because black cats are con-
sidered unlucky. In former times the
black cat was considered the very
genius Of witchcraft. In those days
when baby died the blame was often
fixed upon some bag who, the judges
said, had sent black cat to suck the
baby's breath. And often bag and cat
suffered death at the stake.
EVIL omen Is still the cry in many
parts of the world whenever black
cat approaches a cradle. Many persons
are 90 superstitious that the appear

ment of an approaching death. What
could be more absurd?
Mothers need not be afraid Of cats,
