The Dixie theatre wns opened this
week under the happiest auspices. Mr.
and Mrs. Dixie have so many warm
friends in this city that any venture
they undertake would be encouraged,
but when they provide such a place of
amusement as their new theatre for
the pleasure of the public, more than
ordinary Interest is evinced. It Is,
therefore, with the liveliest Interest
that the beginning of the enterprise is
recorded. The theatre Is dainty, pretty,
nnd comfortable; free from stuffiness
and exceedingly well planned. Then the
class of entertainments which Mr. Dixie
has secured will appeal to the patrons
who desire clean, good presentations,
which women and children can witness
with no offense to the most fastidious
taste. ,In this the heartiest good wishes
Tor the success of the Dixie theatre
vill be offered. It Is gratifying that
lot even the hot weather prevents
rowds from attending, and th'at vlsit
rs 'find the building cool and pleasant.

IEWS OF
A WOMAN
T TOMJ
w r
T T kn
OMEN are iiueer," conlided a
oung husband to a man he
new. "M-in-ni," said the
man who was disposed to bo non-committal
an unusual thing considering
the subject.
"les, pursued the young husband,
"they are. Why under the heavens
must they Insist upon knowing whether
you love them just precisely as much
as you loved them the day before nt
the same time, and why, oil why don't
they seem pleased when you solemnly
swear that you do?"
"Oh, you dunce!" serenely remarked
the other man, "haven't you yet learned
to suy, 'more! more!' every time?"
mi, nui i uoiii unuerstiiiHi, con
tinued tho young man, who was n well
meaning but dense Individual, "why It
Is necessary to keep assoverlug to what
must be a self evident fuct. Don't you
marry her them I mean, and Isn't that
In Itself a proof? And don't you treat
them well; buy thein dresses and bull
terriers und things and let them try
new and fearful cookery experiments
on you, nnd let them lumber the house
up with cosy corners that you hate,
und read pieces to you out of tho news
paper about some disgusting way to
do up water melon rind, when you aro
trying to rend something Interesting
about stocks? If that Isn't a proof of
loving them, what on earth do you call
It?"
"They want to hoar about It," argued
tho other man, obstinately. "How do
they know but you may havo changed
your mind?"
"Oh, what tommy rot!" exclaimed the
young husband with deep scorn, "Just
us If a man was going to get himself
Into such u trap as nuirrlnge without
making sure that he cared a great deal
about the girl! I'm thinking of having
a placard printed, saying: 'I love you
as much as I did yesterday und the
day before that, ami maybe a little
more than the day before that. In fuct,
I love you madly, and I do hope you'll
take my word for It without any further
itflldavlts, and hereto I fix my, hand and
seal.' "
"She'll leave you and go homo to her
mother," was his friend's reassuring
comment. "'Twould serve you right,
too."
"Well, I don't see It," declared tho
perversa young husband, and then ho
continued: "If women only realized
that a fellow could love them Just us
hard without saying a word, It would
bo a great Improvement on the wuy
they aro at present constructed, I
should think they'd a great deal rather
havo a man do things to show his de
votion than to be all the time bragging
about how much he loves them.
Wouldn't you Huppose they'd get dead
ly tired of It? Some men don't, you
Bay? They must be molly coddles. I
never was much given to making loud
professions. I could never go round
boasting about how much religion I
possessed"
"No, I shouldn't think you could,"
broke In his friend.
"No, but t Is so absurd to expect us
to be forever Insisting that wo lovo
our wives, I do huto to be nagged."
"Of course I love my wife," continued
the young husband, "but It was never
my Idea that after marriage we were to
sit down and hold hands most of the
time. Do you suppose" anxiously-'
"that she Is going to expect mo to do
Hint right along?"
"Oh, no!" was his friend's reply, "sho
would probably get tired of holding the
hand of a wooden Indian In time. As
fnr ns 1 can Judge from n limited
knowledge of tho case, you must be
Just HB responslveuis a wooden Indian,
painted white, or as aoorgo Washing
ton would be over there on tho court
house square."
"l'ou're such a chump!" remarked
tho young husband, pleasantly. "Not
being married, naturally you don't un
derstand. You really don't know any
thing nbnut lr. Women aro queer. If
you should go to making such a fuss
over them as you do before mnrrlnge
they would grow tired of you. I know
'em. T hoy'd complain because you
lumplc their hair nnd muss their waists
putting your arm round them. When
you begin to go n little shy on caresses
It worries them and they begin to be
Interested. They're all alike In that
way. You see, they think a man Is so
simple and that they aro fitted up with
some Fort of an X-ray apparatus to
spot every kink In his brain nnd keep
tab even on the number of heart beats
he hns to the minute. Suddenly they
realize' that he has complications nnd
they are twice as Interested nnd three
times as devoted. Just you try It!"
"H-m-m!" said the other man.

George If. Murray, whoso reputation as

Professor J. Alfred Ponnlngtou hns been
sojourning at Montrose the past few days
and expresses himself as being charmed
with the delightful surroundings. Mr.
Pennington ofllclated at the organ of
St. Paul's Episcopal church on Sunday
last.
ii n ii
"Florodora" had only one pair of tights
nnd these appeared only for a few min
utes towards the close, of the play. In
"A Chinese Honeymoon," there nre no
tights. Every player man or woman
Is beautifully and decently clad nnd there
are no lines to bring the blush of shame
to any player or auditor. The result Is
that with a very witty book, catchy
music, elegant costuming and accessories
and a company of tnlenteil and popular
principals, "A Chinese Honeymoon" has
found the greatest favor of many years
with nil classes of theater-goeis.

Thu Wllkes-Barre Record speaks as fol
lows of Bauer and his band of this city:
"Last evening Bauer came down from
Scranton with his band and gave a tine
concert on the Boss lawn, which was
crowded to its capacity with an enthusi
astic and iipreciativo audience. Tho band
played the hunches and other selections
with tho dash, vim and tonu color for
which It is noted and won much merited
applause. Every number .on tho pro
gramme was encored. Will A. Kelly, the
well known baritone, rendered "Tho
Storm Fiend" nnd "Tho Brigand" In his
tine form and was enthusiastically en
cored. Thomas Allies gave a selection on
the cornet and showed himself to bo an
ablo performer on that Instrument.
"Bauer's band has been In existence a
good many years and has achieved a rep
utation equalled by few organizations of
tho kind In the stale. The men by long
association nnd practice together havo
come to understand each other thorough
ly nnd this has a vciy appreciable effect
upon tho music they jiroduce. They play
with conlldence and with a precision thai
Is admirable. Now that band concerts
have become so popular in this city It Is
hoped that Air. Bauer and his aggregation
will come soon ngaln."

RABIES WAS
THE CAUSE
AWAKD GIVEN IN THE FAMOUS
DOO CASE.
Arbitrators Decide That Br. Paget
Properly Diagnosed the Trouble
with John M. Farrell's Dog Dec
laration Filed in the Case of Annie
Kline Against tho Hnndley Execu
torsSuit Against an Insurance
Company-Chnrters Asked for by
Polish Residents of Jessup.
Arbitrators John H. Bonner, T. A.
Reck and II. W. Mulhollnnd yesterday
filed nn award of no cause of action In
the famous dog case of John M. Fnrrell
against Dr. H. A. Paget.
Fnrrell sued to recover tho value of
a bull dog which died In Dr. Paget's
stable from what the doctor alleges was
rabies. The arbitrators met and heard
evidence on Aug. C, 13 and 28. Yester
day they met and listened to the argu
ments of counsel. Attorneys Joseph
O'Brien and P. E. Donnelly mnde the
arguments for tho defendant, nnd At
torneys John F. Scragg and L. P.
Wedeman for the plaintiff.
All of the veterinary physicians who
examined the dog In Dr. Paget's hos
pital, including Dr. Helmcr, practical
ly testified that tho dog suffered with
dumb rubies, that Its lower jaw was
paralyzed and that Its nblllty to swal
low wns nil, due to the paralysis of
the muscles of the lower jaw, but Dr.
Helmcr had the privilege of examining
the dog but once and that early In the
disease. Uc stated positively in his
testimony that the dog showed some
symptoms of dumb rabies, but that the
disease had not expressed Itself suf
ficiently for him to be nble at that
time to make a positive diagnosis.
That it was possible for the symp
toms noticed in the case to be caused
by ailments other than rabies.
He asked for the privilege of exam
ining the dog again the following day,
when through the further development
of tho symptoms, he would be able to
render a positive diagnosis. He did not
see the case again. Other physicians
testified to an Intermediary stage be
tween the dumb and the furious form
of rabies, notwithstanding the fact
that the dog had a paralyzed lower jaw.
Dr. Helmer requested Mr. Farrell to
leave the dog nt the hospital.

Robert Reynolds, with Willlnm AVnll

territory north of the mountains and
extending to Grent Bend. They Intro

the lands, building the roads through

first road between what Is now Scran

41 September marks the high tide In tho
4, popularity of tho sandwich. Not only
s,Kwa picnics and n fresco entertain-
muni" ui nil ouiia nun niw wtvw w
tho day, but a constant stream of
travel homeward bound nnd the open
ing of schools makes tho lining or tho
lunch box or basket a dally occurrence
In almost every homo. And what la a
lunch basket without a sandwich?
If tho rcdoubtablo Enrl of Sandwich,
whoso fondness for tho chaBo led him
to prefer a hasty nnd portablo lunch
eon of brend and meat to tho mcro
ceromonlous' dinner, could see tho In
numerable confections that now bear
his name, ho might well feel that ho
had dono a great deal for tho human
race. That Is, If Brlllat-Savarln is
correct In his statement: "Ho who
has Invented ono now dish has dono
moro for tho plensuro of mankind
than ho who hns discovered a star."
Tho collateral kinsmen of tho first
simple sandwich now run well up into
tho hundreds but all bear tho name
of tho first Inventor.
A timely and nppctizlng sandwich Is
the tomato.
Cut wholo wheat bread Into round
slices with a cookie cutter, and but
ter. Lay on one slice a round of to
mato with the skin removed nnd dust
it with salt and pepper. On the other
slice of bread scatter grated checo
and press together. This may bo va
ried by putting a bit of tender lettuco
under the tomato nnd a little mayon
naise on top. Then the cheese.
Nasturtium sandwiches' are spicy
and uppctlzing. So much so that ono
always "tastes like more." Cut tho
bread Into thin slices, butter and lay
on them two or three small tender
nasturtium leaves, which have been
placed for half nn hour In a bowls of
Ice water. Bo sure and shako all the
water off thoroughly, then dust well
with salt, put the slices together und

nasturtium llowers may also be used
for a filling treated In the same way
as the leaves.
Oyster sandwiches nro another au
tumnal dainty. Cook the oysters In
their own Juice two or three moments
until they "frill." Then stir Into
a stiff mayonnaise nnd spread be
tween thin slices of white bread. A'
sprinkling of finely chopped red pep
per Is sometimes added.
A rich sandwich for afternoon tea is
mnde by mincing ginger and candled
orange peel very line and sprinkling
over Neufchatel cheeso which has
been moistened with a little thin but
tered slices of bread.
Mushroom sandwiches nro delicate,
yet hearty enough to satisfy nn appe
tite whetted by exercise In tho fresh
air. Cut the mushrooms In small
pieces and cook until just tender In
butter. Long cooking toughens them.
Season with salt and paprika, add
enough cream to make a good con
sistency for spreading and allow it to
just come to a boll. Now add a llttlo
lemon julco and a grating of nutmeg.
If you like the tnste, and spread on
thin slices of white bread.
Mushrooms prepared In tho samo
way are delicious served on slices of
hot toast at tho popular hcarth-flro
parties
For tho Schoolboys' lunch basket an
appreciated sandwich Is made with a
hard sauce filling. Beat the butter
nnd sugar to a cream, add a teaspoon
ful of currant grapo jelly to moisten.

pancakes, snys a woman who makes n.
study of wholesome, dainty cookery,
nro those mndo with sour mlllc and
bread crumbs. If the cakes aro for
breakfast, tho batter should be mndo
nt night to give it tlmo to swell and
lighten. For a pint of sour milk allow
n quarter tenspoonful of sallt and a
scant half cup of bread crumbs. Add
wholo wheat, graham or ordinary
wheat flour (tho whole-wheat Is pre
ferable), stirring and beating Into a
batter that will easily drop from thd
spoon. A few trials "will enable one to1
estimate exactly the amount required,
and It should all be added at night
rather than In tho morning. In the
morning dissolve a level tcaspoonful
of soda In a little cold water and stir
Into tho batter. Beat just enough to
make a smooth mixture and bake Im
mediately. Barring the question of expenso,
olive oil will be found the best medium
for greasing tho pancako griddle or
cake tins.
The sanitary necessity of the daily
morning airing of all bedding and
clothing worn during tho night. Is well
understood, but It is an offense against
the canons of. good taste to use tho
front windows of a house especially
hi tho city for that purpose. In Ber
lin there Is not only nn unwritten law,
but a written ono with penalty at
tached ns well, forbidding any house
holder to flaunt his bedding or any
other lunpporprintc furnishing in tho
face of his neighbor or the passerby.
This suggestion from our German
neighbor Ills in well without' own new

"A policeman's whistle," Bays tho
mother of four small boys living In a
suburban town, "solves tho problem
of how to call the children homo with
the lenst expenditure of vocal onorgy
nnd precious time. Of course this
would not unswer in a city, whero
blucconts abound, but here or when
off In tho country it is most effica
cious. A child can't mako oxcuso tlmt
"He didn't henr" if anywhere within
the radius nt halt a mite, nnd there Is
something In the Insistent noto of tho
whistle, that brings them scampering
with as much celerity as thoso who,
fdl lowed the Plod Piper of Hamlin
town." In this samo town there Is another
mother who lays undisputed claim to
the prize baby as fat us tho goody
habits of a l'-months-old child can go.
This la nil due, claims baby's moth
er, to tho use of a box, which has
saved unnecessary handling of the
baby, thus keeping the llttlo nerves
quiet, has Inculcated tho hnblt of self
reliance, has kept the baby from fulls,
bumps, bruises und mischief, and ob
viate the necessity of keeping a nurso
girl.
AVhen baby was .lust able to sit
nlono her box was prepared an or
dinary packing one about two fcot
by three, nurrow enough to go
through any door, and high enough
to come just to baby's breast If stand
ing. This wns mounted on rollers, was
thoroughly padded on the sides and
hnd a soft warm mattress laid on the
bottom.
At D In the morning baby, washed
dressed and fed, wns put Into this
prize nurse girl's arms and her play
things laid about her. It the day
was warm baby was rolled on to tho
porch or In front of tho wide-open
window. If cool, Into the sun or warm
corner near tho tiro. Here sho would
play by herself with many coolngs and
gurglings, rolling over and over and
puling herself' up by tho sides until
tired of piny, she would drop off, to
sleep. Then, without having to bo lift
ed out nt a all, she was covered,
wheeled whero she would havo plenty
of fresh air and left to pleasant
dreams. '
In the afternoon the samo pro
grammo wns repeated, and after nn
early supper she was ncnin tucked In
her cozy box for the night. No one
ever had to stay In tho room with her
when going to sleep. Her familiar
qnnrters mode that unnecessary.
There was no danger of her rolling out
of bed.
Frequently," said her mother, "I
would have her with me in the third
story for tho morning. Then It T was
called to the basement I could go
down without having to tako baby or
call some one to watch her. I knew
she was absolutely safe even If I had
to stay nn hour. As wo moved from
city to country, or vice versa, thero
was no lugging along of cribs. Any
grocer could supply us with ti box nt
short notice. As tho baby grew tho
castors were dispensed with, together
with the dainty frilllngs that deenr
ated box No. I. But tho box Itself
remained baby's refuge and baby'3
