Murray.

To say that the show at the Murray
this week is q good one would be put
ting it mildly, judging from the packed
houses which have been the rule this
week
Pearl Bros and Burns the headliner
in the "vagartes of Vaudeville are one
of the biggest laughs Of the season and
are forced to take repeated encores at
every performance. The act consists
of a singing, burlesque ventroliquism
and burlesque opera.
Elizabeth Otto the piano girl, Is a
good looking young lady, handsomely
dressed who is a finished musician
playing either classical or rag time
music and each with equal success.
Miss Otto sings several catchy little
songs and by her singing, playing and
charming personality makes herself
most popular.
Sana and Sans, two of the best
dressed young ladies have a very neat
little singing act that scores we'll. The
suffragette speech by the one, Miss
Sans. is most pleasing.
The Laurent Trio in a novelty act,
showing great strength completed the
show which is without a doubt one of
the very best ever seen here.

about his failing health and his unecr-

FORCED HIM TO SING.


An Occasion When AbsIl Made Up His
Mind In a Hurry.
1t is proba BILE that on no occasion has
any other musician had to practice his
art under more disagreeable circum-
stances than that in which Abel. a
singer of the seventeenth century, once
found himself
1t appears that while Abel was ram
bling through Poland he was sent for
to go to court, and after evading the
request by excuses for a short time he
was commanded to attend. At the
palace Abel was placed in a chair in
the center Of q spacious hall and sud-
denly drawn up to great height. The
king, with his attendants, appeared in
a gallery opposite him as he sat thun-
derstruck in his suspended chair. AT
the same instant several bears enter
ed the hall with their keepers.
AS the singer gazed in horror at
these ferociouS creatures the king
calmly inquired whether he preferred
to sing or be let down among the
bears. The singers choice. of course,
was quickly made, and he afterward
declared that in spite Of his terror he
never sang better in his life, although
he admitted he might have introduced
a few more shakes" than usual In
his songs.-New York Press.

6rother Jonathan

The origin of the term Brother iona
than" was as follows: When General
Washington went to Massachusetts to
organize the army he found a great
lack of ammunition and of other nee
essary means for the conduct Of the
war, and at one time it seemed quite
impossible to arrange things properly.
Jonathan Trumbull was then governor
of the state Of Connecticut. and the
general, who placed complete reliance
on his excellency's judgment, said, I'VE
must consult Brother Jonathan" He
did SO, with the satisfactory result that
the governor was successful in supply
ing many of the pressing wants Of the
army, and thenceforth, whenever diff,
ficulties arose and the army spread
over the country, I'VE must consult
Brother Jonathan became a common
saying until it passed into a nickname
for the whole country.

PEROxIDE'S MANY USES.
It 10 q Valuable Antiseptie and Can 6s
Employed In Other Ways.

II 10 q Valuable Antiseptic and Can Be
Employed In Other Ways.
One of the most powerful bleaching
agents employed in various trades is
peroxide of hydrogen, also known as
hydrogen dioxide and oxygenated wa
ter. The natural color in ostrich
plumes is removed by it, and it will
also bleach a great number of other
things, such as bones, ivory, silver,
wood, silk, cotton and hair. 1t can be
used to restore the color to old oil
paintings which have become darkened
by age.
Peroxide is a valuable antiseptic and
will also destroy objectionable micro
organisms in water. 1t can even be
used to cure indigestion, but for this
purpose as we'll as for other medicinal
uses it must be diluted. A drop of
pure peroxide is strong enough to raise
a white blister on the skin.
Minute quantities Of peroxide of n.y.
drogen are found in the air, in rain
water and in snow, and it is some
times found in the juices of certain
plants. The liquid Is produced on a
large scale by the action of acids on
peroxide Of sodium. The solution may
be concentrated by allowing the water
to freeze out. by passing dry air
through it or by evaporation in a va
cuum over sulphuric acid.-New York

A kinodom For 4 Horss.

The king of England owes his crown
to a horses shoe. The act Of settle
ment by which in 1901 parliament
elected the house of Hanover to the
British throne, passed the commons
by only one majority. This deciding
vote was given by Sir Arthur Owen
NJ. P. for Pembrokeshire, third OF his
title, who rode post haste from Wales
for the purpose. He had relays Of
fresh horses all along the route, but
arrived, dusty and travel worn, at
Westminster barely in time to the very
minute. Had one of his horses gone
lame or cast shoe he would have
been too late.

Fields Ministries,

Twenty years ago AL. G. Field began
advertising the top price for the best
seats at his show for one dollar.
Through all the years since he has
maintained this price. When even the
mediocre theatrical companies, taking
advantage Of the public desire to be
amused, advanced their prices, Field
positively refused to break his rule, ad
herring to the dollar mark.
Competitors endeavored to belittle
his enterprise but the arbitrator. the
great public, more than sustained the
Field policy. The dearth in amuse-
ment came. Picture houses, cheap vau-
deville and other causes reduced the
patronage of the so-called high priced
attractions.
1t was then the consistency of the
Field policy reaped it's reward.
Through 1t all, every day in every city,

RinoIino's Circus.

Rinoiins's cireus.
Probably the most unique banquet
ever given In New York City was that
held In Madison Square Garden in hon.
or OF the 215th birthday of Jennie, one
of the biggest of Ringing Brothers
elephants. The feast was served in the
arena. Jennie sat at the head Of the
table. In front of her was an immense
birthday cake on which sat the statu-
cite of an elephant done in plaster.
The statuette was surrounded by 215
candies which burned while the guests
were dining. Jennie ate peanuts from
big tub.
Among those present were DR.. Har-
vey w. Wiley. Of the United States Bu-
reau Of Chemistry: Mrs. Winifred Har-
per Cooley. Of the allied pure-food soci-
cites; DR.. Elihu King, the English
traveller. and Martin Green. Irving 8.
Cobb and Carl Decker, the magazine
writer's. They all made speeches.
When Jennie was 100 years old she
was brought from the wilds Of India
to become an attraction in the Zoolog-
ical Gardens of London. At that time
George Washington was the president
of the United States. In 1864 Jerry
Fogg and Evenetiz Howes brought the
animal to America and she became
identified with the red wagons. After
many experiences with various shows
and now and then a season in the
- of% 10
fell into the hands of the Ringing
Brothers. She will probably stay there
as she has become a great pet.
Other unusually interesting animal
specimens are a hippopotamus weigh
ing Ave tons, a one-horned rhinoceros,
big as a horse and a big lair full of
South African Walk Vaarks. In addition
there are gnus, llamas. ant-eaters, por-
cupines, pecaries, wart hogs, emues,
ostriches, seals. seahons, great herds
of camels and dromedaries, water buff
falo, hyenas, Philippine cattle. sacred
oxen, a summer hotel full of monkeys
and every variety of the deer bear and
cat tribes.
Then there is baby colony which
no child should miss. In 1t are to be
seen various balls of fur, tiny yet
closely resembling their proud moth
ers. Here is the greatest menagerie
that ever travelled on wheels. 1t is as
complete in geological curiosities as

ed in an attractive way and there are

The student OF natural history can
learn much in this menagerie that he
