FINE NOTICE FOR JULIAN ELTINGE

When Julian Eltinge appeared i'll Cleveland with the Friars' Frolic on the night of June 1, Archie Bell wrote in the following glowing terms of his performance in the "Plain Dealer"
 "Eltinge was doubtless the hit Of the evening. Slowly and by danger- ous and tedious process Julian El- tinge has raised himself to position of great importance in American theatricals. Cleveland had the op- portunity of seeing him in "The Fas- ,cinating Widow" which had been seen by comparatively few cities, be- cause in the height of the season i. was taken to the Colonial Theatre, Chicago, where practically every thing else in the theatre business was starving to death, and he did such a tremendous business that he remained there until the close of the season. Eltinge is great and legi- innate character actor Even in the rather rough-andready performance of George M. Cohan's 'Pullman's POr- ter Ball' he displayed comedic in- telligence as Dorabella Dingle tll;.t could not be duplicated by more 'han three of the best American comedians in their favorite characterizations. Eltinge was easily the hit of the Friars' Frolic."

He has raised it off the ground three or four feet for several rods on different occasions. but has had at least three mishaps, smahsing the planes, breaking the propeller, or putting the motor out of commission. He recently sprung it and sent it back to the factory in De- troit but is looking for it again soon.

Players of Cards.

If tailor be the ninth part of 6 man, 1t muct be consolation to the card-player to be at least fourth. If indeed, he be dummy" he need not be tailor's dummy. The whole range of human emotions is his. The tri umphant holder of four trumps, the massacred and innocent victim of a grand slam." the irritable and irrec- oncilable winner whose trick has been doubly won by sleepy partner, are subjects for caricaturist and tragedian alike For in game of cards one has the mirror and measure of a man. A HoSarth might sharpen his pencil or a Lamb write whole series of essays upon the card-player. The benevolent old gentleman. with gold-rimmed spec tacles; the studious old maid whose mind carries the procession of cards like human kaleidoscope: the dream er who is thinking of some suit more romantic than the four cardinal points of the card-player's compass; the hopeless and abject beginner-all move in the pasteboard circle. They are not invariably models of propriety. of restraint and temper. but always they a-e artists models.-R. R. Buck Icy in the London T. P.'s Weekly.

NAVAL TIP FOR sEAGoERs
Lemon and Ginger Should Be Given to Those Not Sure of Themselves
 on Shipboard.

A surgeon on the naval hospital ship solace has remedy for seasick- ness which should be of interest to folks who are going on winter cruises and are apprehensive th&t they may have to stay below deck most of the time.
 It Is simply decoction of lemon and ginger, and may be taken in the form of lemon soda and ginger ale, or dash of seltzer may be added to a little lemon juice and Jamaica ginger. The doctors idea is that the lemon causes a greater secretion of the gas trio juices and that the ginger serves as stimulant, the need of which can be best appreciated by the victim.
 The remedy has been used on the Solace with various degrees of sue cess, and 1t is not pretended that il will prove effective for everybody. Il should be taken in small doses as soon as trouble seems to be approaching, although 1t may be of some use at a well-advanced stage
 Uninviting as the beverage may seem, it can be made after a little experimenting so that 1t is very agreeable. The lemon juice and gin ger is not as ralatable as the soda, but has been found to give better re sults.4 Usually 1t is best to make it with more ginger than lemon and with just enough carbonic water to make 1t drinkable.

MINORITY LEADER
ANNOUNCES SLATE
Republican Members OF Com
mittees Made Public.

With the presentation yesterday of the
Republican copmittee assignments made
by Minority Leader Mann, the House
found the main part of its machinery
complete and ready for action
Upon motion of Representative Oscar
Underwood, of Alabama, the majority
floor leader, the House proceeded to
adopt the Mann list Of Republican desiy-
nations and the Democratic ASSIGNMENTS
made by the Ways and Means Demo-
Gratis, sitting as a committee on COM
mittees, and approved by the Demo-
cratic caucus held two days prior to tine
convening of the special session The
Democratic list has already been pub
lished In full.
In his effort to harmonic the two fac
tions of the Republican party in the
House. to make the minority efficient and
cohesive, and bridge the chasm between
the recently warning elements, Mr.. Mann
went out of his way to be fair to the
insurgents.
Representatives Madison. Of Kansas,
and Lenroot, Of Wisconsin. two men
who fought the Cannon organization all
through the last Congress. received two
of the four minority places on the i'm
portant Committee on Rules balancing
them with two genuine regulars, Rep
resentatives Dalzell, Of Pennsylvania, and
Wilson, OF Illinois.
Cannon Gets Place
Former Speaker Cannon goes to the
Appropriations Committee, as ranking
Republican member.
He was member of the body for years
and later its chairman for a number OF
Congresses before his election to the
SreakerShip, more than eight years ago.
Victor Berger. the Socialist from Mil.
waukee. Wis, and Theron Akin. the In
dependent Democrat from New York.

empty dinner pail. lemon, and a litany
OF broken promises, are included in the
minority designations, although the DEM
ocratc caucus gave instructions where
these men were to be put leaving Mr.
Mann no discretion in the matter Mr.
Berger is assigned to the Committee on
the District OF Columbia and Mr. Akin
to the Committees on Education and En-
rolled Bills.
Mr.. Mann did not assign himself to any
committee at all. thus smashing all
precedents in this connection. Instead
nc appears in the committee list merely
as chairman of the minority confer
ence. This give him committee room
in the Capitol and an employe or two.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

Within a space OF five days it
was my pleasure to meet the
members of the BUSINESS AS
SOCIATIONS of the Joseph
Horne Dry Goods Company,
Pittsburg, and John Wanamaker,
Philadelphia.
These associations exist, pri-
marily, to do TEAM WORK for
their respective stores-to discuss
ADVERTISING AND SALES
MANSHIP-to become thor
oughlv familiar with the POL
ICIES of the stores, thereby
EFFECTIVELY cooperating
with the executive stattS.
If employees in a business do
not improve each shining hour
if they are not -ENTHUSIAS-
TIC-if they do not have
FAITH in their employers-if
they are not heartily in accord
with the policy of the business
then good work cannot be accom-
plished.
Mr.. J. B. Shea, of the Joseph
Horne Company, addressed his
associates at their business meet
ing in most impressive man
ner. He told them how much he
appreciated their loyalty and CO.
operation; how the whole organ
ization depended on them--on
their enthusiasm and confidence.
In speaking of the advertising
of the store; he said he wanted
it to be ACCURATE, because he
regarded it as Personal Pub

SONAL WORD OF HONOR
from managers of all departments
OF the store to the people, and
that means keeping, literally,
ones promises.
Mr.. John Wanamaker ad-
dressed his associates as personal
friends-mingled among them,
called them by name, told them
how much easier it was to build
a great business with their loval
assistance, AND THANKED
THEM FOR PERMITTING
HIM TO BE PRESENT AT
THEIR MEETING!
Mr.. Wanamaker had break
fast with the heads of depart
ments in his store at 7:45 a. m.
that same day-had talked all dav
long-worked hard in planning
a greater work to be done in the
near future-attendeI the bust
ness meeting in the evening, and
atterward kept another engage
ment, which used up the time
until midnight. The next morn
ing, bright and early, he was on
his way to his New York store.
Yet he soon rounds out fifty
years in business.
The two men-Mr. Shea and
Mr.. Wanamaker-and their or
ganizations are doing a wonder
full work in a general and pro-
nounced BUSINESS UPLIFT,
and they are putting personality
and honest merchandising into
their advertising with wonderful
results.
