WOES OF WEISBERG.
Henry Welsberg lives on Jackson
street and does huckstering for a liv
ing. Yesterday afternoon lie got Into
more than a peck of trouble. He was
arrested for stealing n harness and
when Constable Timothy Jones was
serving the warrant the stuff In the
wagon, by Its strong smell, attracted
his attention and the result of an Inves
tigation was that Welsberg is now held
under $500 bail on suspicion of selling
oleomargarine for the real article. J.

&AMTER BROTHERS
C. King, the second-hand goods man,
was also held under $300 ball for receiv
ing tho harness. Tho man who caused
these doing Is Edward Fnrr, of West
Lackawanna avenue. About one week
ago Mr. Farr missed from his barn a
harness. Since that time his son Will
has been on the lookout for his father's
property. He discovered the hrfrncss
on Welsborg's horso and n warrant was
sworn out before Alderman Johns.
AVhlle Borvlng tho warrant Constable
Jones smelled a pecullur odor and Wels
berg was questioned. Ho bought the
"butter," he said, of a farmer, paying
12 cents a pound for It. He sold It at
10 conts per pound. As good butter Is
23 cents per pound the constable's sus
picions were made as strong as the
"butter." When Wolsberg was brought
to the alderman's office the stuff ho
was selling was taken along. Food In
spector Cullen was sent for, but he was
out of town yesterday and the "butter,"
lf.0 pounds of It, Is now stored In tho
alderman's sanctum awaiting an In
spection. Welsberg was badly rattled
when on the stand. He said that ho
had purchased his goods from John T.
Porter, notwithstanding his previous
statement about the farmer. The but
ter Is In cakes nnd prints, each piece
weighing a pound or less. There Is a
penalty of $100 for all persons discov
ered with Imitation butter In their pos
session. The harness case will come
up for a further heating this after
noon, and It is thought that the butter
case will then be disposed of also.

entertainment In Ivonto hall where the

AMUSEMENTS.
It Is easy to understand how Bran
don Thomas' "Charley's Aunt" became
a rage In London and America. It is
so ridiculously false and insincere
when compared with everything that
has ever happened In real life that an
audience at all sympathetic or willing
to be pleased cannot help being con
vulsed. Many of the situations are ex
cruciatingly funny. An Instance In
point Is the dismay of two young lovers
when they find their sweetheart rap
turously kissing the supposed old lady,
the latter's face overspread with a hu
morously mingled expression of amaze
men and sublime content. To enum
erate the funny situations In the piece,
would, however, mean to go through
tho entire comedy from beginning to
end, for the reason that theie Is no let
up to the drollery that there Is In It.
"Charley's Aunt" will be seen at the
Academy of Music tonight.
"The Land of the Living" will be seen
at the Academy of Music Friday and
Saturday nights with a matinee Sat
urday afternoon. Many of the prin
cipal episodes In "Tho Land of the Liv
ing" have been sketched from life by
the nuthor, and the characters are
strongly drawn types which are famil
iar to every traveler. The forthcom
ing production will be under the per
sonal direction of Martin Dixon. Frank
Karrlngton, a young romantic actor,
who has made a strong Impression In
the role of Gerald Arkuiight, will be
surrounded by a company which is far
ahead of that usually seen In sensatlun
al productions.
New York life as It actually exists

Harry Williams has presented to the
public In his successful play, "A Bow

Saturday evenings and at a Saturday
matinee at popular prices. Tho fvr-es
of the play are laid in New Yryk city,
and the story deals with the Jenlzens
of whnt 1b known as the givat oast
side of the metropolis. Grace Sher

performance.
As the saying goes, "A good tale will
bear telling twice," and so the theater

Corbott Enjoys the Pure Atmosphere
of Nevada.
Carson, Nov., Feb. 17. The rarlfled
atmosphere of Nevada has been sampled
by Corbett and found very much to his
liking. This afternoon Billy Woods, of
Denver, was kept on the defensive by
the champion for 17 minutes by the
most vigorous kind of boxing. Pausing
only long enough to remove the gloves
Corbett mauled Cal McVoy about at the
wrestling mat for thirty-five- minutes
without cessation, only concluding
when his antagonist was thoroughly
exhausted. After disposing of McVey,
Corbett quickly donned the gloves
again and at the expiration of ten min
utes Woods cried enough. The cham
pion wns submitted to a critical exam
ination and at the conclusion of the
bout with Woods did not appear to be
distressed in the slightest. No one
present could detect any unusual accel
eration In his heart action and his res
piration wan normal.
A number of locations were Inspected
by Martin Julian today but he Is still In
doubt as to where Fltzslmmons will be
Installed. Steamboat Spring Is natur
ally favored but Its selection Is by no
means certain.
"I think I will be able to tell you to
morrow where Fltzslmmons will train"
said Julian this evening, "so far I have
been rather discouraged by what I have
seen. Corbett appears to have executed
a clever move In getting first pick. It
may be that Fitzslmmons will decide
to locate himself right In Carson. Why
not? He don't need any hand ball
court or medicated springs. Give him
room to swing a punching bag and a
good road to sprint on and he won't
ask for anything mnio. I expect him
Saturday morning but there is a chance
that he may be a day later. I have told
him not to rush."
Glenwood Springs. Colo., Fob. 17.
Fltzslmmons and party arrived this
morning and spent the day resting and
looking over the town. Fltzslmmons
was the hero of the hour and had many
callers at the hotel.
The party left for Salt Lake tonight,
where thoySVIll arrive at noon tomor

Grand Opera house In Salt Lake and
leave for Carr.oh after the performance
tomorrow night.

ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD.
A NEW DISCOVERY WHICH IS WORTH
THAT MUCH.
To Anvono Afllictud with Piles.
Tho Pyramid Pile Cure, the new,
painless remedy which has been so re
markably successful In curing every
form of piles and rectal diseases, has
recently been placed on sale nt drug
gists and It la safe to say that when
Its extraordinary merit becomes fully
known, there will be no such thing as
surgical operations for tho cure of thla
obstlnnte and common trouble.
Mrs. M, C. Hlnkley, of 001 Missis
sippi St., Indlanpolls, Ind says: I
had been a terrible sufferer from piles
for 16 yenrs and no remedies bene
fitted me, until I saw nn advertise
ment of tho Pyramid Pile Cure; I got
a package, nlso a paeknge of Pyramid
Pills and used both according to direc
tions. I was astonished at thn Imme
diate relief obtained and now I honest
ly believe the Pyramid to be the only,
certain cure for piles.
That you may realize how bad I was,
I will say that I was confined to my
bed and went before the college physi
cians hero who said my case was a
now one to them and wanted seven or
eight hundred dollnrs to undertake a
cure; the great pain had brought on a
rupture and I know nn operation
would bo death to mo on account of
blood polKonlng. Nearly everyone hero
knows of my terrible suffering from
piles and I feel that I cannot praise
the Pyramid Pile Cure enough, and the
Pyramid Pills also. My husband will
Join mo In highly recommending the
Pyramid, my daughter was cured by
one box only. For several years I
weighed but about 00 pounds, now I
weigh 100 and feel In perfect health.
Tills seems to be the universal testi
mony of every sufferer from piles who
have ever tried the Pyramid; It Is tho
safest, most painless pile cure yet dis
covered, contains no opiate, morphine,
cocoalno or any poisonous ingredient
whatever, has a soothing, healing ef
fect from the first application, and the
moderate price places It within the
reach of everyone needing treatment.
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is sold by diHig-
glsts at 50 cents and $1.00 per package
and the Pyramid Pills at 25 cents per
box.
