Here lies she who never lied.
Whose skill often has been tried
Her prophecies shall still survi,

Many prophecies were put out under
the name of Mother Shipton--among
the most remarkable. that of the great
fire OF London in 1866 about which an
old llarlcian manuscript declares that
the popular belief in the prediction had
muGh influence TO prevent the efforts TO
cNtnEuish the fire as thing fore
ordained with which il might be i'm
nous to interfere. Writers on the
Shipton prophecies generally state that
most Of them were Of ex post facto
origin and seldom heard Of till after
th,e fulhiment was accomplished. IN
TINS way. 1t is said, the prophecies of
the suppression of the inconsistencies OF

az the execution of Mary Stuart, of the
accession OF James l., etc. were uot
brought to light till after the fact. The

 Rumors originating in Chicago tell of a carefully laid plot on the part of the Federal League magnates to make a wholesale raid on the players of the Chicago Cubs. Jimmy Archer, the great backstop of the Bruins, is the one man the outlaws desire more than any other on the Cub payroll. The catcher with the famous thow- ing arm is now regarded as the back bone of the Chicago Nationals and the Feds believe that if he is taken the Cubs will go completely to the dogs.

MORE MINSTREL
 EARLY IN APRIL Young Mems Progressive League to Repeat Min
 strel Performance.
NEW SONGS; NEW GAGS
Performance to Be Staged Early in April-Many New Faces to Be
 Seen This Time.

Mlnstrels may come and minstrels may go but Meyer Solmson and Minor Woodward go on forever. After hear ing these two comedians in the screaming jokes and songs the fun ylovers of the city are unable to rest content until these two blackface artists supported by their all star cast are heard again.
 At the request of hordes of mirth lovers of the city the Y. M. P. B. L.. minstrel which won undying fame several weeks ago will be repeated in the early part of April at the Elks theatre. At recent meeting of the Young Mems Business League the pro- position was preached and the mem bers decided that as the public will be served to give. them another taste of the delicious comedy and harmon iOus melody which endeared all the performers in the hearts of the local theatre goers.
 The songs which will be the latest will be presented in the inimitable style of the songsters and the jokes which promise to be all new will be pulled off in the most comical and pointed manner possible. The end men have secured scores of funny ones and if richness covers a multi ltude of sins the audience will be bathed in an atmosphere of sanctified purity which would do justice 10 al revival meeting in the height of it's reviality.
 With the aid of Judge Kerwin who has the knack of putting the proper punch to joke the end men will be able to keep the audience in paroxy- sms of laughter which can only be dispersed by the ender, sympathetic offerings of the ballard singers.
 Of the soloists nothing need be said, they have only to twiddle their vocal chards and let the golden melody flow for listeners to be held spell bound. These magnificent singers will be heard in new songs which promise to hold the enraptured audi enca enthralled, as the mellow flood of liquid notes, dripping with honeyed melody like the ripping treble of the nightengale is bourne in luxuriant deliciousness, to their ears.
 Dolph astor who with his superb presentation of, "a Little Love, al Little Kiss, caused new appreciation of the utmost in the classical will bel heard again and this fact alone will be an assurance of a packed house.
 The second part of the minstrel has not been completed yet but, the idea is a screaming comedy act represent ing the city after the flicker" decls- ion. Much new comedy will be intro duced in this act and the current of rich comedy which will flow through this scene will be irrisistable. It's al kill gloom act and is calculated as sure cure for ennui, pessimism and cynicism, and all persons with crack ed lips and weak frames are warned not to be among the multitude who flock to see the repetition of the Young Minstrels Best Licks.
 Practice will be held this afternoon and all members of the minstrel are urged to attend and get, their parts in orderslo get to work on it as soon as possible.
 The rehearsal will be held at 2| o'clock at the Chamber of Commerce rooms. All members are urged to bel present promptly.
