DEATH OF LOTTIE COLLINS

prominent then and few theatres outside
of New York were devoted exclusively to
producing variety shows for mixed au-
diences Miss Collins was content to
make her debut as as'specialty artist be-
tween the acts of comedy
There was a suggestion of deviltry In
the frelicsome manner in which Miss
Collins sang the song, but there was no
uncleanness in either the song or the
vigorous swrlinS dance that accompanied
il. The methods of the musical come
diennes Of that period were less open to
criticism than those of some of the vaude-
Vile and musical comedy stars OF the
present. Such songs as THAT Wasn't
Alp and such dances as the Apache
and "cubanola Glide" as it is danced by
a few of the more brazen performers had
not been introduced upon the polite stage.
Miss Collins earned her salary more leglt-
.mately than some of her successors, ana
her professional labors brought to the
theater nothing for which the stage was
tho worse or audiences the worse for
hearing or seeing
Can as much be said across the grave
of some OF the unblushing condolences
who have been in the last two or three
wears the Instruments for the exploita-
ton of deliberate and studied suggestive
ness where light entertainment is provid-
ed for the tired business man and his wiie
and daughters?

MOvING-PICTURE SURGERY

From the New York World.
DR.. Doyen, the famous French surgeon,
whose methods have sometimes been crit
icised as flanaboyant but whose skill an
operator has never been questioned, has
just given another rude shock to the
prejudices of old-fashloned medical men.
In opening his course of lectures on an
atomy In Paris the other day. he illus
trated his words with the cinematograph
and the magic lantern, throwing upon
the screen some of the most extraordinary
pictures ever shown. For instance, he
had taken human head and cut 1t like
a loaf into thin slices, and he exhibited
colored photographs of these through the
magic lantern while he pointed out the
nerves, arteries and convolutions of the
brain Another startling picture was of
a longitudinal section of a man greatly
enlarged. Yet another was section of
a woman's body, showing the organs tor
tured into improper places by too tight
corsets All these were actual photo
graphs and were in their natural colors.
But the browning sensation of the demon
| tsration came with a series of moving pic
| lures showing an operation for appendi-
citis, with a running commentary by the
surgeon explanatory Of each successive
detail of the delicate operation.
| The students who thus had their lessor
wildly illustrated cheercd loudly for the
Innovation Doyens so-caled discover
les" of cancer cures, specifics for attain
ing long life, and so forth may not al
| ways prove to contain all the miraculou:
qualities he claims for them and his meth
DDS may strike professors of the ole
school as ultra-sensational, but it is saft
| to say that his students will get better
understanding of anatomy from his Illus
trated lectures than they would from thu
mere words of any of the conservatives.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
A THRALL.

A IthAlsl+
Afar, afar his fancy strays--
He hears the call of woodland ways
And singing streams that wind along
In woven sound of signs and song,
Ger pebbly beds. The breezes all
Bear sweet perfumes that hold in thrall
His swooning senses-lilt of bird
In leafy covert, blithely heard,
And beaming sun and skies of blue
Unite, as if his soul to WOO
From sordid walks and grimy streets
Out where the heart OF Nature beats
And all the world Is sweet and fair
And smiles succeed the frowns of care.
In vain! The city holds him fast,
Upon a sea of trouble cast,
And where the tide GIBBS to and fro
He tolls each day, with head bowed
low,
Upon some thankless task, methinks,
Or else in noisome corner shrinks
And buries deep tn ose golden dreams
OF woodland ways and birds and
streams,

INDIANS STILL.

Here is little story from Oklahoma
which illustrates the fact that the ladies'
of the <ickapoo tribe of Indians still
have a better eye for comfort than they
have for style. All honor to their sound
common sense. The story:
"Pah Pah-Thep-Pea and Wah-Ah-Che-
Tibet. two Kickapoo Indians were in
court at Oklahoma City on the charge
of stealing a fat pig from a farmer near
Harrah The defendants were accom-
panied by their squaws. who, among
other things wore new, tight. bright, OK
blood oxfords. with high, pinnacled heels.
AS the trial dragged on the shoes began
TO pinch. whereupon the squaws sat down
upon the floor, pulled OFF their shoes,
rolled over on their blankets and calmly
fell asleep.
