A newspaper whose columns over
flow with advertisements of busi
ness men has more influence in at
tracting attention to building up a
town than any other agency that
can be employed. People go where
there is business. Capital and labor
go where there is an enterprising
community. No power on earth is
so strong to build up a town as a
newspaper well patronized, and its
power should be appreciated. 'I.

human
and powerfully written, with a plot
of thrilling interest, rich dramatic

in any scene in "The Sleeping

an artistic manner. Among the
wonderfully realistic scenes are the
Battery Park, Hudson River docks,
a thrilling escape from Sing Sing,
and a Burning Asylum, which are
all that a lover of stage realism
could ask for. Special scenery and
a number of ingenious stage acces
sories are carried for the proper pre

notice are introduced at every per
formance. Reserved seats can be
