Two numbers In the Waldorf series
each us from the Memam cumpany,

f New Tork life by Julian Hawthorne,
'arled so as to run the gamut of Inter
tlng themes from hypnotism and nec
romancy to political trickery and ex
raordinary crime; the other, called
The Scripture Header ot St. Mark's,"
y Douglas Kin, is a study of a wo

'The Subtle Sandwich." "A Perfect

MAGAZINES.
The Century, o- e the most conserva
tive of magaalnr is rapidly waking up.
Ct no longer t .rns articles that have
news value; un the contrary, Us May
number makes four emphatic conces
ilons to the demand for contemporane
us Interest In magazine contributions.
The most notable one takes the form of
i symposium on the X ray, participated
it by seven of our leading scientists and
inventors, Including Edison; the others
consist of an article on The Crowning
t a Ctar (rendered" timely because of
:he approaching coronation of the Csar
Nicholas): one by Professor Bryee on
South Africa and one on the Alaskan
boundary dispute. The purely literary
:ontents are ot a high standard, and the
a a wiiuic is une ui me uet
lhat the Century has recently Issued.
Next to the Lincoln Life, which of
ours Is Interesting, and to Anthony
Mope's serial, which is warming up,
3arrett gervlss article on Alpine ollmb
ng is the most readable feature of the
May McClure's. However, one doesn't
rare' much for the subordinate acces
ortts so long as the Tarbell biogra
phy keeps to Its present excellence.
A review of the Phoenix park tragedy;
comprehensive Illustrated paper on
"Physical Training at the Unlver

algh buildings and the Stockton and

tures pf the May Cosmopolitan, unless
we Include also Unban Chatfleld Tsy

spun by captivating authors for the

The Muy Pocket Magazine appears In
an enlarged form, having gained 32
pages. Its leading story la by Wey

growing popularity is not at all singu
lar. II It II
Lust but by no means least comes
"llradley .His Book." that new and
strange periodical conceit of Will H.
Bradley, which has Just been launched
at Springfield. Mass. Nothing about it
Is conventional. For Instanoe. Its size
smashes all tradition by being a foot
long and only aliout 4, Inches wide.
The cover Is in green, gray, black and
red. Every advertising page is ae
signed dilfereiitly from every other
page and printed In unique and strik
ing colors, making the advertisements
alone worth the price of the booklet,
which Is only one dime. Coming to
read the contents, Edward Pen Held has
a frontlspieco design of a woman In
green which introduces novel effects In
black, green and white; Nixon Water
man contributes a poem of merit en
titled "The Garden of Genius;" Richard
Harding Davis deigns to be repre
sented by two slight prose sketches;
Harriet Monroe's poem, "The Nlght
Bloomlng C'ereus," la amazingly dec
orated ty Bradley to the extent of two
pages of black-and-white eiTects; fol
lowing this Bradley writes of Penueid's
posters, giving specimen designs; and
lastly come the notes "About Borne
Men, Some Posters and Some Books."
Next time the amount of text (now only
seven pares) will he doubled, It Is prom
ised. Before we dismiss this topic we
must transplant the dainty quatrain
on the last page; which goes thus:
THE HEART'S DESIRE.
Oh, Illy I though in raltr.ent fair
Thy virtue is expressed,
The world will pans thee by and wear
The red rose on its breast.
LITERARY GOSSIP.
The Bookman tells as follows of a little
tilt it once overheard between Frank K.
Siockton and Kudyard Kipling. The two
gentlemen tncl at an nutuois' reception,
nnd after some preliminary conversation
.Mr. Stockton said: "iiy the way, KiplliiK,
I'm thinking of going over to India some
day myself.
"Do so, my dear fellow," replied Mr.
Kipling, with a suspicious warmth of
cordiality. "Come as soon as ever you
can! And, by the way, do you know
what we'll do with you when wo get you
out there, away from your friends and
family? Well, the first thing will be Co
lure you out into the Jungle and have
you seised and bound by our trusty
wallahs. Then we'll lay you on your
back and have one of the very biggest
elephants stand over you and poise his
ample forefoot directly over your head.
Turn I'll say In my most insinuating
tones, 'Come, now, Stockton, which whs
It 'the Lady or the Tiger? What would
you do then?
"Oh, well, that's easy enough. I should
tell you a lio."
"Thanhs, awfully! That's Just as good
as the truth, now that you've told me that
it's to be a lie. If you say 'the Tiger'
I'll know it was the Lady; and if you say
the Lady' I'll know It was tho Tiger.
Good!" Then both of them drifted away
from the interested group, and were pres
ently observed to be standing in the im
mediate vicinity of a large china bowl with
something pinic in It,

Readers of the last Chap-Book wilt re
call a sketch signed by Clinton Ross which
had evident merit. With that in memory,
the following Information taken from
the May Bookman will prove Interesting.
Last summer there appeared from fho
press of tho I'utniims a story entltlod
"The Counters Bettlnu," with no clue to
the identity of the author except the mnd
est statesmen on the title-page, "edited
by 'R.' " It was only at few weeks ago
that the writer turned to the book ami
read the story, which from the first page
to the last he followed with avidity.
The author proved that he could tell a
story with dash and vivacity and that
he had fuclltty In writing dlnlogue, but
the book betrayed signs of haste and
carelessness In style which It would be
hard to forgive, were It not that his sub
sequent worst snows more carerul writ
Ing and a rigorous self-exaction to not
lih and phrase and find the Inevitable
word, Clinton Boss is probably still in his
apprentices ;. out two cooks or nis,
which will be publlsert this month by
Stone and Kimball, will mark a consid
erable advance in his literary rievelon
ment. One of these, "The Puppet," Is a
modern story of adventure, dealing with
an linprooable situation In a realistic
fashion; and the other, "The Scarlet
Coat." is a tnle of the Yorktown slfisrn.
Mr.Ross has for some time been making
a study ot tho revolutionary period, and
the latter story is the concreto result.
Another historical story, entitled "The
Confession of Colonel Sylvester." will ap
pear In the midsummer number
or tscrlhners Magazlna, which U
told almost wholly in dialogue,
and he Is now engaged on a new

A peculiar euatom prevalent in Mexico
Is that of selling a ticket for a single act
of a play. One may see an entire play
by purchasing a large ticket with a cou
pon for each act, which gives a sitting In
the best rows of the orchestra circle, re
served for this purpose. A ticket for only
one act Involves a seat outside this
charmed circle, and its holder Is expected
to retire voluntarily at tho end of the
act or pay araln.
It Is anticipated that one of th great
successes of next season will be "Th
Great Northwest," a new domestic melo
drama, by Herbert Hall Wlnslow and
Will R. Wilson, which was given Its first
production last night, and which will have
a prellmnary season of four weeks. The
scenes are laid in North Dakota, where
Mr. Wlnslow spent six months In imbibing
local atmosphere and studying character
types. In this latter respect the play Is
?artlculsrly rich, while Its melodramatic
eatures are of such a character to catch
the popular fancy. "The Great North
west" Is built upon orignal lines, and
should be a winner.

Perhaps no American girl has ever ao
suddenly set the world ablaze with the
phenomenal nature ot her talent as that
accomplished, supematurally endowed
Callfoinlan, Miss Ellen Leach Vw.
There Is no excess of zeal In account
ing hers, what the world Is fast ac
knowledging It to be, the most astound
lntr so-u-ano voice In hibtory.
America must take pride In this
yourg girl's mcrvclous leap to the fame (
now heartily accordod her. She is a ;
tail, heautiful girl, with a weaitn oi
blonde hair, dreamy blue eyes and fea
tures of the finest delicacy. Her throat
la a graceful as a. swan's, her poise
and her manner are elegant She re
minds one of Jenny Lind. in that af
fection and artifice have no place In
her expresrion. Much of her girlhood
was spent In California, near La Cres
centa and Los Angeles. The greater
part of her culture was under the tui
tion of Mme. BJorksten, In New York,
who later accompanied her pupil to
Paris, and placed her under the In
struction of the famous Delle Sedle and
Box. From time to time the whispers
In - Parisian studios about the "fair
American man-el" found an echo In the
French press, and the Paris Galtgnanl
was particularly enthusiastic In her
praise. She had not dedicated her voice
to the public as yet. so the fair Amer
ican continued her devotion to her
studies. About two year ago. while
Mis Yaw was still abroad, the New
York Herald, having learned of the
prodigious nature ot this new voice,
published a column article headed,
"Miss Yaw's Wonderful Voice!" It de-
clared that voice as having the great
est compass of any soprano recorded
by history a range of nearly four oc
taves from G below the staff to E In
the altlsslmo, and expressed surprise
that a voice reaching such an altitude
should possess such breadth and beau
tiful quality of tone In the lower and
medium registers. The following com

Yaw's hitrheet note as compared with
highest notes of two famous singers.
Her method has evoked as much com
ment as th wonderful altitude and
lyrto sweetness of her voice. It Is fault
less. Her tones are produced without
the slightest physical effort. Her cad
enzas nre astounding. The most In
tent observer will not discover the
slightest breath movement, so perfectly
does this wonderful organ produce Its
fascinating strains. The auditor nat
urally wonders from whence the silent
power of propulsion comes 'and how this
slight and lissom girl expresses the
charms and volume of tone for which
her lower and middle registers are fine
examples of perfect voice placing. Miss
Yaw, assisted by celebrated artists, will
be heard in concert at The Frothlngham
Friday evening, May 8. for benefit of
Company U, Thirteenth regiment.

programme tomorrow and will no doubt
create a higher standard ot music at
the First church under direction of the
talented leader.
Thomas Kershaw, th well-known
pianist, who has been musical director
at Davis theater fur th past two sea
sons, left the city on Thursday lost
with the Noss Jollity company, and
will travel with that excellent musical
organisation during the remainder of
the season. Mr. Kershaw, who has
many friends and admirers In Scran
ton, Is a thorough musician, a fine ac
companist and a talented composer as
well. The Noss company has been
fortunate In securing the services of
this talented performer, who has few
equals In the profession.
Laura Joyce-Eell. the eminent come
dienne and contralto, who has achieved
such success in Iloyt's greatest com- !
edy. "A Midnight Bell," In the charac
ter ot the "Spinster," has fnr a number
of years past occupied an enviable posi
tion In the estimation of the pi-ess and
tncater-going public as a character
comedienne and contralto of rare abil
ity. Mrs. Bell will best be remembered
for her splendid Impersonations lu the
many Gilbert & Sullivan operas pro
duced under Colonel ilcCaull's manage-
ment, notably for her admirable por- 1
trayal of Katlsha In "The Mikado," In
which she scored a most emphatic and
lasting success. Mrs. Hell was former- :
ly a church choir singer and graduated 1
from the famous choir of Dr. Chaptn'a I
church, a fact which Is vividly brought '
before her mind In the choir scene of :
"A Midnight Bell." in which she ren-
ders magnificently Gounod's glorious 1
"Ave Maria." "A Midnight Bell" will
te produced at the Frothlngham Frl-
day evening, May 15, for the benefit ot
the Green Ridge Wheelmen.
Of the accomplished pianist who will
appear at the Yaw concert the Chicago
News speaks as follows: "The most
artistic feature of the concert was the
piano playing of Miss Georgiella Lay,
wno was obliged to play a recall num
ber after her elegant performance ot
Llstt'B Tarantelle. Her second num
ber was even more important, the
Chopin Rondo In E flat. This she
played In an extremely finished man
ner, with much repose as well as tire.

A Veteran of the Late War Adds One More Name
to the List of Striking Cures by Fiiik
Filis in Michigan.
AH CLD-FASHIOKED, UESE Fffly CF THIRTEEN CHiLBREH.
. From thtOntrUr-Btrald, Saginaw, Ulek,
A few years ago wave of La Grippe
wept over the land sod brought thousands
cf its victims to the grave. Others who e
raped the fite lived ou in sorrow and suffer
iug, broken in health and fpirit.
Terrible as was the disease, its after rffbets
were yet more appal liug, as itsoueht out the
weaknesses of the constitution and left thou
sands shattered wrecks of their former selves.
A few days ago a Courier-HtrtUd represen
tative, while at the thriving little town of
Akron, Mich., met John L. Smith, a veteran
of the industrial army, on whose aged head
the disease had fallen, and he heard Mm tell
Low he had sutt'ered and what had given
Lira relief. -
We can do no better than quote Ms own
words, which are as follows: "About
seven years ago I was taken down with the
'Grip and it fastened on me very hard.
For about half the winter I was so bod that I
could not leave the bouse. 1 was chilly all
the time, and could not get warm. I felt as
if I was frozen solid, and could only breathe
with ureal difficulty.
"This condition alternated with sweating
spells of great violence. There was an at
Most continuous pain, and it would shoot
from one part of my body to another, with
freat suddenness, anJ causo me intense suf
riug. Sometimes it wus in my hips, then
ii my legs, and again it would go to my
head and pain me in the eyes. It was sola
tenso that it even affected my sight
"I called in medical assistance, but this
was fruitless, as I received no benefit from
physicians. From then on I tried various
preparation that were recommended to me,
but they did me no good, and my condition
was as bad and puiuful as it was before I
tried them.
" Finally, I saw an advertisement of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and I
read with much interest of the wonderful
cures that they had effected in so many
cases. I had tried so many proprietary prep
arations that I hod no filth in it. but tried
it, as I had so many other things, to see if
lory were oi any use.
"One day when I was feeling as bad as
canal, I got a box of Pink Pills, and shortly
before going to bed I took one pill. I cannot
tell you what a surprised man I was next
morning. Then I put on my shoes with rase,
thing that I had not done for forty years.
A little whil' aiier this I was so well that I
drove to Buy City, Michigan, a distance of
iweniy-inree nines, ami was not at all urea
wnen t got mere.
" I am now seventy-six years of age snd
unusually active for a man of mv vesrs- I
work on my forty-acre farm sail experience
no trouble from the work. I want to say a
pood word for Pink Pills, as they helped me
where all else did no good whatever. Since
mv illness and cure a number of mv nelirh.
Iiors have used them, and say that they have
leen greatly benefited."
Mrs. Smith, the veteran's wife, who sat
neur by, confirmed the words that her hus
band had spoken snd added her testimony
to the good that tho pills had been to the
family. The worthy couple are old and re
Fnected residents of Tuscola County, where
they have lived for thirty years. Mr. Smith
is a sturdy pioneer, and cleared up a 300
acre furni near Akron. He yet live there,
Furrounded by twelve of his thirteen chil
dren. Thanks to Pink Pills, he hoi a pros
pect of many years of usefulness.
Another suBV-rerwith thesnme malady was
Neil Raymond, a prosperous and leading
filmier, residing near Colunibiaville, Lapeer
Co., Michigan. Speaking to a representative
of The Cuurier-llr.rald.tAr. Raymond said;
" Three years ago Inst June, one night I suf
fered un attack of paralysis, brnueht on. I
think, by overwork and as an after effect of
la grippe. Alter a weeic my condition was

papers reported enres of cum similar to .
mine effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
snd thought I would try them. I bought a
box and continued their us with good re
sults. I soon began to csin in atrtnrth and
ueaitn ana ten toe good meet or the tills- -"They
were the first, things thst bad beta
able to give me relief. They have been of
great benefit to me and I can strongly rcom-'
mend them to anyone kutt'ering from
paralysis."
The case of another veteran has com to
the attention of this paper and it is her given:
When, iu 1(W1, the late of our Union hong
trembling in the balance, and President
Lincoln issued his fumous call for volun
teers to go to the front and fight for Its pres
ervation, an immediate response swept over
the North like a tidal wave, and regimtnl
after regiment of brave boys in blue quickly
sprang up from every quarter. I'amindful
of the privation of a soldier's life, and Ins
horrors of war, they shouldered their
muskets snd marched to the front ts battle)
for their country.
Among th first to answer th call was E.
Q. Matthews, who enlisted as a member of
Company D, 103d Ohio Infantry, and who
fought bravely until the close of th great
struggle. Mr. Matthew now lives with bis
wife and family of six children and grand
children on his farm near Akron, Tuscola
County, Michigan. While in the ranks h
contracted intlammatory rheumatism and
this developed into a trouble that remained
with him for over thirty years. He finally
became cured of it and to a representative
of the Courier-Herald be spok of bis oana
at follows:
"During the late war I wst s member of
Company D, 103d Ohio Infantry, and per
formed all the duties incident ton soldier'
life from 1803 to 1815. Whil at the front
owing to the privations of our soldier life, I
contracted inflammatory rheumatism, and
this finally developed into n permanent form
of rheumatism, that has always troubled m
since that time. When 1 was mastered out .
in 18fl6 I went back to Ohio to the place
where I enlisted snd was laid up there in
bed for 12 weeks. I then got out tor a short '
time and was again laid up for a long spell.
Since then 1 have been a victim of these at
tacks and they have laid me up for much of
the time.
" My cose was also compllcateu by sevr
kidney troubles and other disease that baf
fled the best medical skill. I have tried
many physicians and also proprietary arti
cles of all kinds thut were said to be good for
such troubles as mine. In my search for
health I spent hundreds of dollars, but it
teemed to lie all in vain, and nothing teemed
to reach my trouble and give me relief.
About n vrar ago a friend advised me to try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and although I
had no fuith in them, I bought a box ana be
gan to take them. After 1 bad begun on the
third box a great change in my condition be
gan to appear, and my trouble for over thirty
years' standing begun to be cured. I took
four boxes more snd then felt to well that I
discontinued their use.
" I am now able to work on my farm snd
have no f nr of the old trouble coming back
as long as I can get a box of Pink Pills. My
rase whs a particularly deep seated one, of
long standing, and so I want to let others
who are afflicted ss I was, know the benefit
that these Pink Pills for Pale People ha
been to me."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
are now given to the public as an unfailing
blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all
forms of weakness arising from a watery con
dition of the blood or shattered nerves, Th
pills are sold by all dealers, or will be tent
post paid on receipt of price, 80 cent a box or
