ALMOST 73 YEARS OLD

Hitghejs Farewell Word
Tribute to Philadelphia
trurrlmv nnuehcrty leaves this
1 city probably forever on the-4:31
train tms aiwrnoom ,
Ho will pass his remaining days
with his stepdaughter. Mrs. Evalina
Butland, in Los Angeles.
He was a minstrel for more than
fifty years. -,
Ho will have a royal send-off from
loyal friends.
His last word is a tribute to the
city of his birth.
He won a big following by orig
inality and clean fun.
Exit Hughey Dougherty.
Tho famous minstrel who has made us
all laugh for years Is going to quit tho
town this afternoon.
And everybody who has any Philadelphia
blood In him will be there to wish him
Godspeed when ho makes his final bow
from the train which Is to tako him from
ur- sight undoub'tedly forever. Ho ero'es
to spend his remaining days with his
daughter, Mrs. Evallnn Dutlnnd, of Los
Angeles. Ho adopted her many years ngo,
before ha was In his prlmo ns a mlnstrol.
When Hughoy became desperately III
and was taken to St. Agnes' Hospital more
than two months ago she heard of It
through the newspapers.
''Come home," was the message the old
minstrel received one day. It was signed
Imply "Evalina."
When his llttlo adopted daughter was
christened at the Church of the Assumption,
Hth and Spring Gardon Rtreets, Huphey
was singing tho song "Evalina," so tho
baby wns called Evalina. And so, like bread
cast upon the waterB, she will bo at Los
Angeles to greet Hughey when he arrives
there on Saturday.
The aged minstrel ho Is nearlng 73
doesn't want nny fuss about his leaving
this afternoon. He heard that somo ono
had planned to kidnap him for fun, nnd It
worries him.
"I got to got my hair cut and get my
laundry and n. lot of things, and there won't
be any time for nny skylarking stuff. I'm
a kind of afraid of that laundry fellow; he
hasn't been on time with It yet."
Hughey's face Is ratner full, despite his
tlness, and that twlnklo In his eye, the
.twinkle which used to bring many a laugh
nt tho 11th Street Opera House, Is sttn
there. He finds Is somewhat difficult to
walk, but he feels that the air on tho
coast will brace him. In fact, Jhe old min
strel behoves that there's one more show
left In him yet
"What message have you for Philadel
phia ?" h was asked.
"I'm not leaving. Phllly," ho said. "It'll
always be with mo In memory. The
thoughts don't como as quick as they used
to," ho said, as his hand ran through his

scant white hair, "but how Is this on tho
Impulse?"
Dear old rtillly.
You're n whlto ns n Illy,
And you've won a Just renown.
I'll be for jou
until I'm through.
And let nobody run you down.
Hughey said ho'd try to reel off n few
tines about Kvallna at Broad Street
Station.
He finds It hnrd to remember things sud
denly. Asked to sing It today ns he was
looking after his effects, Hughey offered
the' following In a fairly clear voice:
Wy down In tho Green Vnlle?
Whro tho lilies thy do grow
And the winds from tho mountain
(Forgotten)
cuonus,
8wot Kvallna, dear niallrm.
My love for theo will ntur, never die.
Siot Kvnllna, dear Uvallnn,
My love for theo will never, neer die.
Among those who will greet Hughoy at
the station this afternoon will bo Joe Fox
and William Waid, tho oldest blackface
team on tho utngo nnd still nt It. They
will soon celebrate their golden Jubilee.
Both sat with Hughey In the famous clrr
cle at Carncross & Dlxcy's nnd Dumont's.
Then thero will be Frank Dumont, Vic
Illcharda, John Breslln, nsslstant treasurer
of Dumont's Minstrels, who will accompany
Hughey to Los Angeles; John J. Kc lrnn.1,
Norman Jcffciles, Frank Donnelly, Ed B.
Itohn, of tho Bingham Hotel, and numerous
managers nnd hotel proprietors who have
known the old minstrel for years.
Hughoy will not have anything to worry
about en routo. He Is scheduled to reach
Chicago at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon, when
he will bo met by Francis Leon, nn old
minstrel, nnd a number of actor folk and
well-known Phlladelphlans who aro In Chi
cago for tho convention. Ho Is scheduled
to nrrhe at Los Angoles oij Saturday.
Hughey was born In this city near 4 th
nnd Gasklll streets. After doing llttlo turns
nt concerts he camo to the attention of
Sam Sanford arid mndo his professional
debut, It Is said, with Sam Sanford's min
strels at the Eleventh Street Opera House.
When Carncross and DIxey succeeded the
Sanford combination Hughey remained for
many years. Ho left hero for awhile and
toured all over tho country with tho leading
minstrel troupes of those times.
Later he returned to this city nnd was
with Frank Dumont's minstrels, which suc
ceeded Carncross and Dlxoy.
An Insight Into his character Is shown
by tho devotion ho paid his wife. While he
was playing hore she was for a long time
III in Now York. Hughey boarded a train
every night after tho show and went to
comfort her. He returned every night
early In time for tho performance. For
many years ho mado his home at tho Hotel
Bingham. A benefit given by Dumont's
minstrels April 17 nnd 18 netfed moBt of
tho money with which his expenses to tho
coast were paid.

TPHffeit Especially for Evening Ledger. '
By ELLEN ADAIR
LONDON, May 20.
"KTUMEROUS strarige prognostications
JLN are being mado on the changes, eco
nomical and social, which will 'occur when
the war Is over. But few people stop to'
investigate the personal problem in other
words, the resultant transformation In the
Individual character.
For no man can pass through the mad
ness and come forth unchanged. No man
can be pitchforked from the quiet, hum
drum, sedentary Ufa of pre-war days Into
the seething maelstrom of the Great Ad
venture nnd come back esentially the same.
That would be a psychological Impossibil
ity. Take the case of Mr. Jones, typical resi
dent of Suburbia, placid, peace-loving and
paternal, blameless of Imagination as of
mile, eminently respectable and "bon clto
yen. ' The suburbs of London town swnrm
!d with Its Mr. Joneses before the war,
One watched thenj of an evening watering
their trim little lawns with miniature hoses,
pruning their rose trees while they smoked
the pipe of peace nnd finally dozing off over
the evening paper. Morning saw them
trotting placidly In pursuit of the 8:35 to
town, back to the same old routine, back to
Me- same old office and tho same old grind.
A curiously dull and uneventful life had
far, Jones, of Suburbia I His range of vision
was so limited that he seldom saw the wood
for the obstructing trees. The trees wert.
Rood enough for him, he said and forests
nynow wero wearisome, perplexing things,
it was hard to find one's way out, some
tunes. And always they Involved calcula
tion. Ho hated undue calculation the
evening paper offered sufficient mental ex
ercise and as for physical relaxation,
there were always the rose-trees and the
farden hose,
Such was Friend JonesIn pre-flfar days,
nave in mind one particular member of his
class, a little .nervous, fussy sentleraan
whose horizon was limited by his 12 by 6
psckyard fence and whose spirits were
materially dampened by ouch trivialities
s a leaking kitchen tap or a few drops of
ln on his new spring toilet.
He was a snobbish little man, too, wo
this particular Mr. Jones. He never would
associate with any one "In trade" for
trade was "bourgeois'1 and hs prided him
self on "claaV
"One really cannot know the Soand
bos,' ho would pompously observe to his
tong-sufferlng wife, "they're not quite 'It,'
you know"
We never did quite know lust what "It"
II. 'Siq'silifsouoiu emit in m ssumioA uai
want, cut it certainly implied a Jot There
ne wasn't ''it." then one just didn't exist
sathln the range if Mr. Jones vision.
when war broke out, a change came o'er
the spirit ol the Joneslan dream, Pater,
raiaa patriotically squeezed his rotund
wrm within the limits of the khaki tunla
and the Sam Brown bandolier, and set forth
Oft the Great, Adventure.
Since that great day, many strange things
Jave befallen Mr. Jones and. his particular
prototypes. How great the changes ars
1725 1ow when ,ne end ot war ot in
t, hav Tcently learned. ' For an e ve
sta spent at the abode pfethe Jones faro
m out In. Suburbia, has taught me many
fes, yet Mt me treatly wondering.
23 .tTmctw Paterfamilias. I hardly
"I never knew what living meant before,"
he observed with truly surprising meekness.
"The thought of the old dull days nnd that
cursed office makes me tlerd ! To think that
I wns content to sit. day nfter day, at' tho
same old grind, never leallzing what life
meantl Gad, what a blind fool I'vo been!
Never again for me that sepulchre!"
"You're getting a commission Boon?"
soma one Inquired.
Paterfamilias frowned. "I believe the
Colonel has recommended me for one," he
said airily, "but, 'matter of fact, I'd Just
as soon-remain In the ranks. You see as
much fighting either way, and I'vo a spe
cial pal In my section that I hato to leave.
He's one of the best and liveliest, a castor
monger from Whltechapel way deWllsh
good chap used to run nn all-night fried
fish stand before the war."
We listened thunderstruck. Impossible
to believe that such rank heresy Issued
from the once snobbish lips ot the haughty
Mr. Jones! A costermonger from a fried
fish standi But more was yet to follow,
"That chap tells a story better than any
raconteur I've ever known. Oh, no, he's
not refined he calls a spade a spade his
stories aren't for the drawing room but
brave? Why, listen to what my coster
friend accomplished!"
"It was the other day up In the trenches,
the Huns had been quite nasty, firing shrap
nel from their field guns and having a long
and glorious 'hate.' We lost a few men
and got a bit peevish. Then the howitzers
began. God, 'twas awful) You know the
stuff? It explodes on impact. There was
a nasty droning holse, then a smashing
concussion, and tho earth flew up In a
blackish yellow cloud. The air was singing
with bits of shell.
'Then came a roar like nothing I'd ever
heard before. Friend Coster Bill was
hurled high Info the air, and thud I he
landed on top of me, and down, down, down
under the earth we went, suffocating, chok
ing, burled deep In debris, 'Qorbllmey !'
screams Bill, lighting for breath nnd doing
the Australian crawl swimming stroke, 'I'll
glya the blasted 'Una 'ell for this, so 'elp
mo bob!'"
"And sure enough he did. For -when night
came "Ever bayoneted a Tin, old thing?' "
be Inquired and I saw he meant business.
"I believe I have, I said, 'But I'm willing
to do t again,' "
"So we crept out cautiously Into No-
Mane-Land. A soaring star-shell showed
us the figures of four Qertmins. out on
patrol We followed them, We got them
too. Gad, till that moment I'd never known
what life meantl Bill cracked the skulls
of three of them, and I accounted for the
fourth the thrill of It '
Tho face of quiet Mr- Jones, of Surburbla,
was ablaze. His breath was catching, bis
hands were shaking when sud
denly a plaintive little voice was heard out
side the doors '
"Daddy, please come and kiss me good
night," and a baby's curly head came Into
View.
There was a sudden silence. The queer,
strange light died from the eyes of the
speaker, and the hot flush faded- He Java
an awkward laugh, and when he rose to
leave the room the wild look on his face
was replaced by a very tender one
Yet we -who had witnessed the little scene
were, j the French say. "given furiously

L'OFFBNSIVA RUSSA.
Intanto glungnnn dalla Russia ottlme no
tlzte. Lo forze delto czar, approflttando
del vuotl lasclato dal comando austrluco
nelle lineodella Bessarabia e delta Vollnla,
hanno Inlzlato una vlgoroslsslma offensiva
contro le llnee austrlacho. Dopo un vlo
lento bombaardamento nella reglone del
flume Pruth, lo funterle russe sono state
Mnclato all'attaceo dollo llnee austrlache,
hanno rlcacclato lndletro II nemlco e ,gll
hanno preso ben 13,000 prlglonlerl.
Un comunlcato uftlclale nustrlaco ammette
che una grando battaglla e' lmpcgnata nella
reglone del Pruth. L'offenslva si svlluppa
su dl una fronte dl 260 mlglla. lsaa e'
fatta prlnclpalmente con lo ncopo dl al
leggerlro la presslone che I'Austrla, ln
debolendo lo suo llnee della Gallzla, delta
Bucovina e delta Polonta, ha portato contro
la fronto Itallana, perfettamento come
l'offenslva Itallana dl un anno fa fece ar
restare' la marcla degll austrlacl In ter
rltorlo russo.
I crltlcl mllltarl londlnesl rltengono che
se anche l'offenslva russa rlusclra' soltanto
a far arrestaro l'offenslva austrlaca con
tro I'ltatla, le forze delto czar nvranno
reso un Incstlmabllo- servlglo agll alleatl.
V del resto le conseguenze d! una tale
offensiva russa, se avra' II successo con cul
e stata Inlztata, avra' conseguenze enorml
per gll Imperl centrall anche perche' po
trebbe decldero la Rumania ad lntervenire.
Ad ognl modo cl trovlamo davantl alia plu'

You know how other prices are rising that many forms of
steel have doubled and quadrupled that copper has doubled,
lead has tripled in price, that many chemicals, dyes and fertili
zers are almost unobtainable.
All these things have equally affected the cost of making
books. We made an enormous contract with tho publishers
of the Encyclopaedia Britannica when we arranged with them
for a new and cheaper issue of their new Eleventh Edition.
We cannot renew this contract.
After Juno 1 7th, for whatever new supplies wo can obtain, we
shall have to increaie the prico from 911 to 819 per let, according
to tho style of binding".
The stock we have on hand is going rapidly and on June
17th our sale must close.
At Vs the Cost
The new Eleventh Edition of
the Encyclopaedia Britannica is
now published in two forms: the
larger size, called the Cambridge
University issue, and a smaller
size, called the "Handy Volume"
Issue. Every page, every line,
every word, in the two issues is
the same every illustration,
every drawing, every map. The
only difference is the size of the
page and the type.
The Cambridge University
issue sells at $166 to $250 per
set. We offer you now the same
work In a smaller form, as hand
somely bound and printed, at
one-third these prices and on
easy monthly payments if you
desire. That is, simply by set
ting aside a little more than ten
cents a day you can soon be
owner of this splendid new edi
tion of tho Britannica, and you
will pay for it only one-third as
much as 75,000 other people
have already paid, $14,000,000,
for the larger-sized issue.
Orders posted anywhere in the United States before 7.33,
the hour of sunset in Chicago on that date, will be filled if
possible. But some of the bindings are so near to exhaustion
that if you wish to make absolutely sure, it will be much better
to send your order today.
The Encyclopaedia Britannica is a work you need in your
home. Your children need it. There is no other like it in the
world. No other ever cost as much. No other is at once so
useful and of such high authority. You will be proud of it
when you have it, and marvel that you could have gotten
along without it
And you can have it now, at an astonishingly low price and
for a first payment of a single dollar.
Remember that on the remarkable offer we matte you talte no riik.
We take it all. We guarantee your absolute mthf action. (See below.')
