Minstrel, a. Popular a. 4 Good Circus.

Our people will be pleased to know
that the management of 1.-The Cresco"
have succeeded in getting the Harvey
Greater Minstrels for date here, the
engagement previously advertised hav-
ing been necessarily Cancelled on account
Of the influenza epidemic. The new
date is for next Wednesday, the Goth.
I A good minstrel is like good circus,
it appeals to all classes. Tens of thous-
ands Of people attend minstrel show
who never think Of attending any other
character of theatrical entertainment.
This is because they know there is
nothing to offend or embarrass them
and they are 1T the same time sure of
many a hearty laugh.
This season the Harvey Greater Min
strels uses its own scenery exclusively,
it has thirty.five people in the first
part, it boasts Of the finest wardrobe
ever worn by any minstrel organization
and claims to have the best trained
Creole Beauty Chorus ever on the road.
The moders minstrel must have
expert dancers, charming singers and
high class vaudeville and Harvey's
Minstrels which will appear at 1.-The
Cresco," Wednesday, Nov. goth, seems
to have been successful in arranging q
program with this happy combination.
One of the features OF the vaudeville
section of the program is the work of
Musical Kirk. Among the many
remarkable things he does while using
musical instruments of his own make
and design, is the trick of smoking,
singing and playing an instrument at
the same time. The stub of the cigar
is down in his throat out of sight and
the smoke pours forth from his mouth
as if from q volcano, and all the time
de.is singing and playing banjo and
dancing. In addition to Kirk, who may
be classed as the musical comedian, the
long list of end men is headed by Ed
TolEiyer and Clarence Powell, the two
most celebrated colored comedians in
the world, and there must be something

RELIABLE PRESCRIPTION
FOR THE KIDNEYS

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has so many friends.
BE sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

Has New Fare Affected Traffic?
Public Service Does Not Know

With the seven-cent fare in effect
on Its lines for a week the Public

the dark as to the effect Ii has had
upon passenger traffic. This state
ment was made today by John l..
O'Toole, OF the company and he said
1t might be some tin before COM
portable figures could be obtained.
There has been a very considera-
BILE falling off in traffic during the
last week, but this has been largely
due to the influenza quarantine,
coupled with reduced facilities" said
Mr.. O'Toole. The theatres have been
closed and much of the midday rid
ing has also fallen off. Even the lift
Ing OF the ban yesterday did not have
the effect of restoring normal traffic
conditions and In addition to this the
company Is without the crews neces-
sary to man all the cars IL would like
to put in commission.

coming as adopted by several New
England municipalities will be made

Why Turks Are Confident.

Amid the many m~enacing periTs that
threaten his thorny throne the new
sultan of Turkey can find consolation
for all Moslem disasters by contem-
plating he "Shining Stone" in the
mosque Of st. Sophia. This is a slab
Of translucent marble, brought from
Persia, which has been fixed to the
western side Of the gallery. 1t emits
rays Of dazzling brillianct during pc
RODS Of Turkish prosperity or Of re-
ligious triumphs for Islam. but be-
comes black and opaque, however
cloudless the skies, whenever some
calamity is about to befall the Otto
man empire or the faith. 1t has not
hitherto been darkened during the pres
ent war. though the sultan's armies
have so frequently been defeated and
the power Of Islam seemed to suffer
eclipse. Thus the mystic stone, ever
shining. proves to believing Moslems
that, however fate may frown, the real
victory remains with them.
