Free range for hogs does not mean
that they should be allowed to run IN

Some people claim that hog Is .
scayenger by nature. but he certainly
thrives better on clean feed and de-

Al H. Wilson, the German dialect
c. median, who has probably made as
many people laugh as any comedian on
the stage. and whose songs are to be
found among the nursery rhymes in
many households, is underlined for an
appearance at the Lexington Opera
House Wednesday night, when he will
present his new singing comedy, "a
German Prince" which is said to be
novel departure from previous Wilson
plays. In the character of Metz Won
Arhmien, the German prince who
agrees to echange his title for Ameri-
can gold by marrying a widow whom
he has never seen, Mr.. Wilson is
probably seen at his best, and the
many humorous entanglements caused
by his endeavors to annual the contract
when he learns that the widow is old
and homely. are cause fer many side
splitting laughs which follow each
other In quick succession. An inciden-

THEATRICAL.
1.-THE ROSARY"

Whatever else may be said of Row.
land & Clifford's new production,
1.-The Rosary" which comes to the
Paris Grand on Wednesday, October 4,
the charge of imitation of other plays
cannot be mads. 1.-The Rosary" virtu-
ally breaks new ground in the dramat-
ic field and should prove veritable
surprise when the curtain rises upon
it.
The play is built upon at thoroughly
modern theme, viz: the influence of
thought upon the lives and we'll being
of the men and women of our present
day.
"The Rosary" attacks the theme
boldly. 1t deals with the lives and for
tunes of little group of people living
in the beautiful West Chester cnuntry
near New York City. The hubsand is
a disbeliever in all religion; his wife,
a woman of serious conviction regard
ing faith in the things of life unseen.
Strong in his belief and thoroughly
human, priest moves through the
subtle story of this play. When
DOUBTS come and the man and woman g
lives are shattered. seemingly beyond
human power to repair, this priest
dudly LSS CuS SILudtlOI duu ny TIC pOW-
er of his faith brings both the people
whom he loves back to happiness.
The stage settings are unique in
their way: the first act occurs in a
wonderfully beautiful grape arbor,
the second and third are laid in a
charming interior, showing the atmos-
phere of serene home life. while the
fourth is new church built by the un-
believing husband for his friend, the
priest.
After all the discussion of the play
during four acts, wonderful effect is
attained by the peace and serene quiet
of the church where the man and wo-
man who have suffered come at last
to lay their burden down and find
peace.
No detail in the immense labor of
adequate production has been too
trivial for Messrs. Rowland & Clifford
to oversee and lock after with the
carefulness which in the past has been
synonymous with their names as
managers, and The Rosary" on it's
presentation will be as near perfection
as brains. money, infinite labor and
vast experience can make it.
Prices 80 cents. Is cents and 81.
Seats on sale at Mitchell & Blakemore's

Typhoid Fever Raging.

Typhoid fever is raging in this city
and it is said there are upwards of
thirty cases in Paris. Most of the
cases are in Henry Addition and it is
the opinion the disease was contra .ted
from the use of the water by the resi-
dents of this section of the city that
flows from the spring on the iold Ford
place. Two deaths have already re-
suited from typhoid and a number of
other patients being under the care of
physicians are in a critical condition.
The city health board has issued an or
der requesting the citizens to boil all
the water used for drinking purpos es
in an effort to check the spread of the
disease, and every effort is being made
to put the city in it's former healthful
condit ion,
