The subset liillon tlnnti given by
Mewsr. Holw. Bcssoll. Toney, Welles
nml Wolfe on Monday night wiih one
of the most beautiful ever held In this
city. "There were nmny lovely girls
nml pietty goWns, nml the generul ux
preHBlon was that the mum committee
will continue having dances.
Scnuiton nudleneeH deserve n shnrp
rebuke for their method of attending
entertainment. No mutter what hour Is
fjxed, the laggards predominate In the
assemblage. In most cities, 8.15 o'clock
means that nnd the programme begins
at the time stated. Here It Is almost
i Impossible to open any performance
until a half hour later, as nmny peo
ple come trooping In to disturb the
programme. The way the audience
( conducted Itself on Thursday night at
the armory was a disgrace to the city.
It was Impossible to begin the pro
gramme on time, becauso the patrons
were so late tn coming, and about half,
of them left before the last number',
when the greatest violinist of his time's
played one of the most wonderful se
lections ever attempted. Such artls'ts
as appeared on that occasion desenvc
better treatment. It is no reflection on
one's mut.lcal taste to leave an audi
torium after the last vocal numberand
It is growing to be a deplorable habit
In this town. i
It was the same way at the Schu-
mann-Heink concert. Not mmre than
two-thirds of the original audience
.heard her in that Biinaisl Prom "Lu-
' crezla Borgia," which was Mie song that
gave her renown early luher great ca
reer. To be sure, thcrcj was some ex
cuse on that occasion owing to the
social affairs of the saime night, but no
such apology can bo given for Thurs
day night. We, as Sxanton audiences,
demand so much oj performers in the
way of encores, tlxat we ought to pay
the artists the conpliment of allowing
thorn to begin cfn time, so that they
might finish at I reasonable hour. No
concert need le prolonged beyond 11
o'clock, if promptness were observed.
Mr. Hand'sf final concert In the great
nrtist serieswas perhaps the most bril

the most satisfactory. These musical

JEWS OF
A WOMAN
THE season of mud and marbles is
one that does not especially ap
peal to womankind. The average
woman never can see what there is in
marbles to bo so horribly fascinating
to the other sex. In the first place she
objects because the game includes
grubby p.iws and in the next place
what is it any, way? Why should its
devotees play it at a season when mud
abounds and the danger of contracting
rheumatism is sreatest? Why is it
conducted along- lighting lines so gen
erally, and why. must the grubby-pawed
players insist on selecting her par
ticular corner for their operations when
there are three other corners in the
vicinity? Why should boys delight In
playing marbles when there are nice
clean books to read, and nice clean
little games such as bridge whist and
five hundred? All these queries and
many more, tlic average woman Is
heard piopounding aecoidlng to her
point of view. So she tiles to diminish
interest in the amusement by instilling
the precept in her own small sons that
to play for "Keeps." is dishonest and
the wild small sons eaily discover that
honey muy be the best policy but it
Isn't popular.
But the average woman lias more
causes of complaint against marbles
than the mere grubbiness of small
paws and the mere bloodiness of small
noses, and the mere muddlness of the
side walls. Jt Is the Inexplicable seduc
tiveness of the game for mankind at
large that causes thf mot giay halis
to appear on her temples tit this partic
ular season.
A housewife with two new wouy
lines complained thus ycsteulay:
"Of course I do hato to have Johnny
and Joe come in looking as If they hail
been digging a sewer and Incidentally
had been kicked by a mule. I don't
get a chance to letid a new book or
magazine, as long as marbles aro In
fashion, for It tnkes nil tho evening to
superintend the sotiltlng process neces
sary To admit those childicn into a
decently clean bed. Hut I'm used to
that. I huvfl ather grievances against
marbles. Today we waited lunch a
half hour because tho baker- had not
sent the bread. My husband becamo
Irritated anil said things about house
hold management that couldn't provide
for contingencies. Then I said things
about some women's husbands who
didn't consider it a lusting disgrace to
Ik seen carrying home a loaf of bread
for a meal. Then we discovered a
largo oblong object Impaled on a prong
of tho Iron fence. It was our bread
for luncheon. Tho linkers boy was
employed in a game of maibles on our
corner and was so absorbed that ho
couldn't tnko time to bring the bread
lound to tho kitchen door. I don't
know how long it had been sticking on
tho fence. It contained a hugt jagged
wound from tho prodding of the lion
prong, but the boy hi- was almost a
man grown looked unabashed at my
upbraiding und snld, "Them duffers
don't know a controller from son'thin'

Tho Ice-man wants a pitcher of hot
water set out on the back porch, as ho
Bays the lee is cold und the hot wnter

water stood there until it, too, was
cold nnd no leo appealed. I'vo found
out where to look for the missing, I
believe If you should Jell me you lost
your pocket book, I should Instinctively
run to tho window nnd look over to our
corner for it. Well there was the ice

Terrible Tortures and Death
Result from Acute and
Chronic Rheumatism
When Neglected
in Spring.
Paine's Celery
Compound
THE GREAT VANQUISHER OF ALL F0RHS
OF RHEUMATISM.
Tlic Marvelous Cure or Mrs, Cook,
or Gardner, Kansas.
Rheumatism, terrible in its acute, and
lopg enduring in its chronic, form, is
one of the most baneful diseases that
human beings suftcr from. It Is a dis
ease thnt will not bear neglect, for if
not treated promptly will remain till
death to harass, torture, and make lift!
miserable. '
Rheumatism Is til so a constitutional
disorder and hereditary. Because of an
Ifuictlve condition of the kidneys nnd
bowels the blood Is not purified, and an
ttcrltl poison Is formed and deposited in
the muscles and Joints, and this causes
the inflammation and Intense agonies
that thousands aro obliged to endure.
Too often, the effects of rheumatism
are fatal, especially when the dread
disease affects the heart: then death is
sudden. Many other serious complica
tions result from this terrible disease,
such as pneumonia, pleurisy, menin
gitis, and dlaphragmltiB, and these
often prove rnoidly fatal.
Racked and tortured reader, what are
you doing to ge,t rid of your danger?
Physicians candidly admit their Inabil
ity to cure. Tlie ordinary medicines of
the day may give you relief for a few
hours or days; they cannot banish the
disease from your blood, Joints, and
muscles; thev cannot take tlie swell
ings from your knees, elbows, or wrists,
or make supple the stiffened and twist
ed limbs. You cannot longer afford to
expei Imenl; death is the sure result of
experiment nnd neglect.
Today, your only hope lies in the im
mediate use of Dr. Phelns' wonderful
lheumntlsm banisher Paine's Celery
Compound. This tested and world
famed vanquisher of rheumatism, neu
lalgia, and other troubles that arise
from Impure and poisoned biooil, is now
fully recognized by the medical profes
sion ns a positive and unfailing cure.
The following Important letter sent by
Mrs. Cook, is but one of the many thou
sands received from prominent and
well-known people in every State of the
Union, who have been cured by Paine's
Celery Compound. Mrs. Cook says:
"I was sorely afflicted with rheuma
tism some time ago, so much so that I
was unable to go about the house: I
had to be carried. I 'tried all kinds of
medicines nnd liniments to no effect.
For months I was helpless, unable to
turn myself In bed, and suffering with
pain which was almost unendurable.
Finally, by chance, I noticed an adver
tisement of Paine's Celery Compound
and concluded to try it. After using
one bottle It seemed to bo helping me,
and I continued to use it until I had no
more rheumatic pains. Since then I
have been able to do bit housework,
and have been free from rheumatism."

is believed tint Ibis will be a popular move.
HInce the advent of repertoire which lias monopo

opera troupes have been obliged to cut Scran

Ditto will have a cotnpanj- of his own, recruit
