MFR. Barker. in the role of the bride
groom. acted the part in a stff yet
listless manner. He has a good stage
presence, but mars the effect by a to-
tai lack of animation and an almost
inaudible voice. Miss Perkins. as the
bride, was much more effective. Her
costume was bewildering. yet true to
life. If one may venture to criticise.

stage fright was a trife too evident
She was in good voice, however. and

EARLY DAYS OF COACHES.

coaches:

Good news travels fast" and the
thousands of bad back sufferers in
Richmond are glad to learn where re-
lief may be found. Many a lame,
weak and aching back is bad no more,
thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Our
citizens are telling the good news of
their experience with the Old Quaker
Remedy. Here is an example worth
reading:
c. NJ. Wilson, blacksmith, 22O South
Ninth street, Richmond, Ind, says:
For years l have known of Doan's
Kidney Pills and it is a pleasure to
let others know about them. My kid
neys were irregular in action and the
kidney secretions contained sediment.

back and it was hard for me to
straighten after STOPPING. Doan's Kid
ney Pills made my kidneys strong.
and after that the pains disappeared. "
Mr.. Wilson is only one of the many
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy-ask distinctly for Doan's Kid

POWER OF AN AUDIENCE.
influence Il Exerts Over an Actor or q
Speaker.

SRSaN0Es
No orator living was ever great
enough to give out the same power
and force and magnetism to an empty
hall, to empty seats, that he could give
to an audience capable Of being fired
by his theme.
In the presence Of the audience lies
a fascination. an indefinable magnet
Ism, that stimulates all the mental fac
ulties and acts as a tonic and vitalizer.
An orator can say before an audience
what he could not possibly have said
previous to going on the platform. Just
as we can often say to a friend in
animated conversation things which
we could not possibly say when alone.
AS when two chemicals are united a
new substance is formed from the
combination which did not exist in
either alone, the speaker feels surging
through his brain the combined force
of his audience. which he calls inspi-
ration. a mighty power which did not
exist in his own personality before he
rose to his feet. No public speaker
ever forgets that first surprising feel
ing of confidence.
Actors tell US that there is an indie
scribable inspiration which comes from
the orchestra, the footlights, the audi
ence. which it is impossible to feel at
q cold mechanical rehearsal. There is
something in a great sea of expectant
faces which awakens the ambition and
arouses the reserve of power which
can never be felt except before an au-
dience. The power was there just the
same before. but it was not aroused

A FAMOUS BOYCOTT
CASE TO COME UP
Hat Company Will Sue Hat
Makers Union for DAM
ages a Second Time.
(National News Association)

= HARTFORD, Conn, Aug. 16.-At-
;torneys for both sides have completed
preparations for the second trial of
the case of D. E. Loewe and company,
of Danbury, against officers and mem
bers Of the United Hatters of North
America for damages alleged to have
been sustained by reason of a boy
colt alleged TO have been instituted
against the product of the company's
factory. The trial will be commenced
! in the United States court here next
Tuesday Judge James L. Martin, of
Brattleboro, VT, will preside and the
case will be heard by jury.
The Loewe case is regarded as the
most important legal controversy Of
its kind that has ever arisen between
/ American capital and organized labor.
AS originally begun the dispute was
of local character and apparently
of small significance, but before long
it had practically resolved itself into
a contest between the American Anti
Boycott Association and the American
Federation of Labor.
The history of the case dates back
TO 1901, when the union matters en-
ployed by d. E. Loewe and company
struck. Suit was brought in 1909
against Martin Lawler and 239 other
members of the hatters' union, and
damages of $250,00O claimed for alleg-
ed boycotting. The case, which as
taken up by the American Anti-oOy-
cotting Association, was first brought
to the United States district court and
the superior court of Fairfield county,
Conn, but was not tried there. 1t was
taken to the Supreme Court of the
United States on the question whether
the allegations made constituted vio-
lation of the Sherman antitrust law.
. In February, 1908, the supreme court
handed down a decision to the effect
that the allegations constituted a vio-
slation Of the law. and in October, 1909,
the case begun in the United States
circuit court at Hartford and after
long trial the jury found for the plant
ifs and awarded them damages of
S222,000. That the American Fedora
ton Of Labor was back of the hatters
was brought out on the Hartford. trial
In April of last year the United States
circuit court of appeals in New York
reversed the decision of the United
States circuit court and remanded the
lease for a new trial

JaekaIs and crooodiIe Eoo..

Jackals and hyenas are very fond of crocodile eggs The former is the more successful poacher of the two. Ma lives of central Africa say that the 5ackal has sixteen eyes. with one of which he watches the eggs and with the fifteen others he looks out for the crocodile. The hyera, on the other hand, being very greedy, has all his eyes on the eggs and so often falls a victim to the watchfui crocodile in mo- tonless hiding. The natives say. too, that the crocodile sometimes knocks its prey off the bank or off the canoe with its tail and then seizes it with its wide open jaws.
