TO THE PUBLIC

II cough syrups would cure coughs
every time, it would not be necessary
for us to print this information, but
there are SO many cases of chronic
bronchitis intown that have hung
on for months and years, we feel that
we must tell what We know about It.
1t is a positive fact that the only
right way to treat cough is to use
a remedy that acts on the blood. such
as vinol. our delicious cod liver and
iron preparation without oil.
This makes the blood rich and pure
SO it can heal and strengthen the in
famed bronchial tubes. Its taste Is
SO pleasant that even children like it..
Mrs. Olivia Parham, East Durham,
N. c., says q used vinol for cough
which had lasted two years and it
gave me perfect satisfaction. | am
also giving it to a delicate child to
strengthen her. She will not take
any other medicine but Vinol Is so
pleasant she cries for it and 1t is
benefiting her very much
Remember if yinol does not help
you it costs you nothing. McGrath

Burton, at Dodges.


Read this, from St. Louis paper,
about the man who is to be heard
each night at Dodges theatre:
Richard Burton, the drollest man
in Australia" has caught the South
End on the funny bone at Mannion's
Park. But his hit doesn't end there.
In dramatic song called Dreams"
he brings some of his hearers back
second, and even q third time.
Burton is more like George Lash
wood than any of the other interna-
tional vaudeyillians who have visited
st. Louis In Dreams" he steps from
the friyilous to the tragic without the
least effort. while depicting the emo
tons of Barry WALL who wins a for
tune on the races, wooes lady beau
tiful and then by a cruel trick of fate
stands convicted of murder.
The inimitable Burton's career is
fuller of romance than most novels.
He is an Englishman, and like Kyrle
Bellew, has been cabin boy on the
British merchant ships. a seaman in
the English navy and an actor in ev-
cry part of the globe
Only few years ago he sang "by
command" of the Duke of York, now
King OF England. 1t was while Mr.
Burton was appearing in his native
Australia and the present king was
on his empire tour OF the world.
Mr.. Burton has sung in the princi-
pal theatres and music halls of the
world. He interpreted leading roles
in the Gilbert and Sullivan Operas in
India, and was for four years mem
Der of the famous Fisher Theatre
Stock Company in the city of San
Francisco. In his own country he has
appeared in Harry Richards and the
Brennan circuit of theatres, and in
England on the Moss and Stoll tours.
Possessing an excellent singing
voice and being an actor of ability,
Mr.. Burton has written much material
for the stage. One of his compositions
is THE Claimants Drive which Geo.
Eastwood gave at the Princess last
season.
Mr.. Burton is not the author of the
Dreams" song, with which he has at
tracted SO much attention at Man
MONS. He gives the credit to Harry
Ingram, an Australian, who has nev.
er appeared in America, but who Mr.
Burton says is musical director and
the writer, whose equal the American
stage has never produced.

Few singers have a larger personal
following than George Hamlin, the
tenor, who sings here Monday, Decem-
Der 18th. Loudon Carlton, the New
York impressario, considers him one of
the features of his list-and as this
list includes such names as Gadski
Sembrich and Bispham, the state
ment has some significance.
1t would be hard to say in which
branch of the singers art Mr.. Hamlin
has been most successful In oratorio
his services are in constant demand,
while in recital his place is indisput-
ably we'll to the fore. The critic of
the New York Times pays Mr.. Hamlin
the following tribute
He has been known for years as
one of the most unsteady gifted and
one of the most intelligent of our ma
tive singers. His recital afforded new
proof of the gain he has made in the
excellent quality of his art. He is a
real interpreter. He sang not only
with finished art, with what related
TO vocal delivery, phrasing, enuncia-
ton and coloring, but possessed him
self of the spirit and purport of what
he sang"

the most human stories which has

Lillian Rhodes In "The White Sister,
The White Sister" which comes to
the Grand opera house on Thursday,
Dec. %, for one night, is not primarily
play of religious nature, for the ele-
ment of religion is but subsidiary to
the story. Miss Rhodes play might
well be called "a play OF love and
duty" The peculiarly enticing fascin-
alton of romantic love story is I'M
doubtedly the keynote Of The White
Sisters remarkable success. The
religion of the play is but the religion
of an Italian woman who turns to her
church for comfort after she has been
robbed of the man to whom she is
betrothed The keenest interest of
the play is centered in the love of
these beings, the nun and the soldier,
whose ways have led them far apart,
both in actual distance and in beliefs.

about half mile of as active, hustling
work as can be found in the world.
Becoming interested, apparently, the
camera then moved up close to der
ricks, locomotives, cranes, travellers,

and the rest and took pictures of them

STEEL TRUST
Continued from page nine.)

st his very urgent request, and be.
cause he said it was absolutely neces.
sary to protect him from financial
trouble. That loan, you see, was TAX
ing Tennessee Coal and Iron on the
basis of sixty"
Gary submitted this loan agreement
to the committee.
About November ., 1907 amid a
financial panic, the matter came up
again. The Trust Company of Amer
lea was in difficulty.
John w. Gates testified last week
that this bank was responsible for
Morgan's efforts to sell the Tennessee
company to the steel corporation in
order to save the trust company,
which had loaned heavily on the Ten
nessee stock.
Gary referred to the possibility then
of the suspension of many banks and
failure of many persons. He told of
the conference with Morgan and Louis
Cass Ledyard, counsel for Colonel
Oliver Payne of the syndicate that
purchased the controlling interest in
the Tennessee company.
Morgan said to me: I don't know
whether the United States Steel Cor
poration can afford to purchase this
stock or not. You know best as to
that. If it does not buy It, if the
United States Steel Corporation or
some one else does not furnish relief,
no man can say what the effect will
be on the financial situation through
out the country. The situation is ex-
tremely critical. If you can see your
way clear to buy it, l have no doubt
such action will relieve the situation.
will turn Ledyard over to you to see
what you can do.
81 said l would not consider taking
any action without going to Washing
ton and taking the matter up with the
President or the Department of JUS
tice.
"'Have they any right asked Nor
gan, to say whether the United States
Steel Corporation shall buy this COM
pany or not?
81 said No, but there is a financial
crisis; the purpose of buying this
stock is to overcome the tendency
toward a panic; and if the President
or the Department of Justice should
find out that such action was being
taken and should enjoin us on the
ground that the acquisition or holding
of the stock created monopoly, what
