A dramatization of Leo Tolstoy's novel, Resurrection," has been produced in Taris, and an English version will be acted by Mr. Beerbohm-Tree and his company in London. Mr. Beerbohm-Tree announces that persons of Immature age will not be admitted to the performances, which announcement will, of course, attract thousands of merely curious people anil give the enterprise anv thing but an artistic color. That Is the London way. In Paria the play is for every one that has the price of admission, and if Tolstoy's theory were followed the theater doors would be rree to the public. The story of the play is that a Russian peasant girl, ruined by a young nobleman, sinks into degradation and is accused of a murder. Her seducer happens to be a member of the jury, and, stricken by remorse ct the sight of the wretched woman, he attempts K save her from imprisonment, but she is found guilty. The nobleman follows her to prison and to Siberia, and though she recovers health of mind, she refuses to be married to him. Instead, she decides it to be "her duty to Join fortunes with a Nihilist who is a member of the convict troop. The nobleman gets pardons for the two and bids the woman farewell. xxx Miss Cecil Fp00"1" nl her company produced a dramatization of Frances Aymar Mathews's novel.

X X X Miss Idalene Cotton and Nick Long, in the vaudeville at the Grand thl3 week, have changed their sketch to admit Miss Cotton's Imitation of Mrs. Fiske's impersonation of Becky Sharp, and as considerable of the superfluous dialogue of the playlet has been dropped, their contribution is more diverting.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS

DIt. WILLIAM A. BAUTLETT, OF "WASHINGTON, D. C, I.N THE CITY. He Talked srlth Dr. Lorenz, the Vlenna Speclallst, In Chicago Abont Armour Child Hotel Stories. Dr. "William A. Bartlett, of Washington. D. C, a former rastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of this city. Is in Indianapolis for a short visit with old friends and is a guest at the Denison Hotel. Dr. Bart lett came to Indianapolis from the Flymouth Congregational Church In Chicago In 1ST6, and it is a rather remarkable coincidence that Dr. J. A. MUburn, who was pas tor of the Second Presbyterian Church for several years, left this city eighteen months ago for the Plymouth Church In Chicago. Dr. Bartlett has Just returned from Chi cago, where he attended the semi-centen nial anniversary of the founding of Plym outh Church, and he said last evening that Dr. Milburn was meeting with remarkable success in his new field. When Dr. Bartlett was pastor of the Plymouth Church the Armour family were among his parishioners, and while he was in Chicago this week he visited Mrs. Philip Armour, sr., the widow of the head of the family. He also called at the home of J. . . Ogden Armour ana saw mue om imour and Dr. Lorenz, the famous Vienna physician, who recently periormea me op leratlon on Lollta tnat attracted aimosi ... - . on Lollta mai world-wide attention. "Dr. Lorenz is a wonderful man," said Dr. Bartlett in telling of his visit at the Ogden Armour home, "and he has worked almost a miracle with little Lollta, but the result of his treatment was not all that the newspapers have made of It. According to the reports in some papers the reader would infer that the child is now able to wniir hut nrh Is not the case. She can " . 7 . . , A move her limbs slightly ana can sianu trcci with th assistance of a nurse, but she will not be able to walk alone for many months. Lolita will be taken to Vienna next March for the second treatment, and after that it is expected that her recovery will be rapid. "It has also been currently reported that Lolita's father will establish a great hospital in Chlcafc-o for the Lorenz treatment as a mark of gratitude at the success of the operation, but this is equally erroneous. Dr. Mueller, who is Dr. Lorenz's assistant, will return to Chicago next spring under Mr. Armour's patronage to take charge of a ward in one of the city hospitals and give the Lorenz treatment to all children that may be brought there, but there is not a sufficient number of such cases in this an liuii t l liic section of the country to warrant the es tabllshment of a separate hospital. Mr. l . . n.ni Kan oll (hu oTn cos nf 1 1r w in uriiri n n in iv "Dr. Lorenz left Chicago last night for one Is convinced that he is almost inspired with a. great mission to relieve suffering and unfortunate humanity. He seeks no reward other than the satisfaction of successful work. He might stay in this country and become enormously rich, but he does not want money and did not even stipulate the amount he was to receive Z,ll? for coming here to operate on Mr. Armour s Little Lolita is a beautiful child, sweet. lovable end affectionate, and it is to be hoped that she will recover completely from her terrible crippled condition. She is an only child and she has had everything that money can buy, except a perfect body. She has never known what it means to run about and play like other children, and yet she is not the least bit pettish or spoiled or selfish. When I called at her father's home I was taken up into the nursery to aee her. 1 was Introduced to her as Dr. Bartlett, and she shrank from me, saying that she was afraid of doctors, but when il was expiaineu 10 ner umi j. was a. minlater and not a Physician she welcomed me gravely and with the dignity of a woman. 'ifF tSI' .hfl-imI llllllf IU SUlUUiaiC HCl l lllSlilltlO. She has a wonderful nursery that contains everything in the ordinary child's dreams of fairyland. Every plaything that has ever been Invented is there or has been there, and she has a dollhouse that is a perfect reproduction of a large house, with miniature electric lights and all such appointments. She also has a little girl to play with her as a companion, not as a servant, and she really enters into their childish amusements and diversions with much the same spirit that animates her more fortunate playmate." Dr. Bartlett went to the New York-avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington rrom tnis city m and served as pastor for thirteen years. He has now retired and Is spending a great deal of his time In traveling. BONFIRES IX AIIGEXTIXA. Paper Money Darned to Get It on a Parity with Gold. E. Thorn Ely, of Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic, who Is stopping at the English, told a Journal reporter an interesting story las night of Argentina's experiences with fiat money and a depreciated currency. Argentina is on a gold basis, financially, but the republic issued paper currency, or fiat money, to such an amount that a few years ago a national financial disaster was imminent. All the income of the republic was payable in paper, which had depreciated until it took four dollars of it to buy one dollar In gold. The Interest on the national debt was payable in gold and it was not long until the republic was unable to meet the payments. Most of the bonds were held In England, and In John Bull stepped In and told Argentina that she must call in the bulk of her paper money and destroy it until it was on a parity with gold, otherwise he would take charge of affairs and collect all the national revenues, declaring the republic a bankrupt. "Argentina has therefore been one of the few places in the world where there is money to burn and where it has actually been burned," said Mr. Ely last night in telling the story, "in compliance with the conditions laid down by England the republic has had a monthly bonfire In the plaza at Buenos Ayres, at which currency to the amount of from $500,0UO to $2,000,000 has been destroyed. This work will be kept up until January, 1903. "It has been heroic treatment, but John Bull was the doctor and was in a position to force the patient to take the medicine he prescribed. The result has been that gold is now worth only $2.22 in paper, instead of $4, and it is believed that the gold and paper will be on a parity by the first of the year. "I believe that according to the Ideas of Mr. Bryan and his followers that such an appreciation of the monetary standard, and the consequent heroic methods necessary to restore an equilibrium, should have worked great hardships on the masses of the people at the great profit of the rich, but such was not the case in Argentina. The capitalists are the ones that have suffered. The bulk of the business of the republic consists of exporting wheat, wool and hides. The man who raised these crops was able to sell them abroad for gold and pay his laborers in paper at $4 to $1. With the Increase In the value of paper money wages have not decreased and the capitalist must still pay his laborers 75 cents per day In paper, and where three years ago his gold dollar which he received abroad would purchase five and a third days' labor It will now buy only three and a fraction. The cost of living has not increased and therefore the condition of the masses of the people has been very greatly improved. "There is one thing about Argentina that is an improvement on all other countries," continued Mr. Ely. "and that Is that we have no poor people there. You rarely see a beggar and all the people are well clad and have all that they want to eat. The reason for this is that every one can have work and It costs almost nothing to live. The laborer who cams 75 cents a day can live and support a family on 20 cents of that amount and save the balance. The tropical climate makes living an lnsignirt cent Item." Mr. Ely Is a member of a firm that repre sents American manufacturers In South America, handling goods in Argentina. Uruguay and Brazil. He Is in America to renew contracts with manufacturers, and he came to Indianapolis to close contracts with two concerns here. He expects to sail for Buenos Ayres Dec. 20. Mr. Ely is a New Yorker by birth, but

EXCOUXTER -VITII BRYAN. Geo. W. Gonser Relates nn Incident of a Railroad Trip. George W. Gonser, former deputy secretary of state under W. D. Owen and U. B. Hunt, who went to Mexico with the Ubero Plantation Company and was compelled to return to this country on account of his health, last evening at the English told the story of a recent encounter he had with "William J. Bryan that gave him considerable personal satisfaction. It occurred on a train from Omaha to Chicaco" said Mr. Gonser, "on which Bryan and the Democratic-Popullstic attorney general of Montana were passengers. The Montana man, whose name is Donovan, did not impress me very favorably and I took an instinctive dislike to him before we had been in the same coach two hours. Bryan got on the train at Oma- , ha, and he and Donovan Immediately became chummy. In the morning I started into the dining car, but I was stopped by Bryan, who was standing in Ihe aisle talking to Donovan. I waited two or three minutes for Bryan to step aside and let me pass, but although he could not very well help seeing me. and Donovan, who was facing me, saw that I wished to pass, neither of them made a move. Finally I put my hand on Bryan's shoulder and pushed him to one side, at the same time saying that I wished to pass and had be-n waiting for him to move for some time. Intad of apologizing he turned around at me as if he were himself insulted, and Donovan spoke up and asked me what I wanted. I answered that I was going to the dining car and he replied that I was not. I replied that I did not recognize him as the conductor and passed on. ln the dining car a few minutes later Bryan came in and took a seat behind me, while Donovan took a table opposite me. Presently a newsboy came in and asked me if I wanted a paper. I was a little bit hot under the collar and I answered that I wanted a redhot Republican paper in a tone that every one in the car could hear. Then 1 reached in my pocket and pulled out a Mexican dollar. 1 tendered It to the boy and in the same tone said: 'Here's a Bryan dollar. It's only worth 38 cents and you mav keep the change. "The little altercation I had had with Bryan and Donovan in the other car had attracted the attention of all the passengers, and the laugh that went around the diner when I offered the newsboy the Mexican dollnr did my soul good. Hut the best part about it was that the boy refused to accept the dollar. He said he wanted good money. Oregon Hallway Mall Service. Frank W.

The quality which wins is stavincr power. It is so in the race of life. Staying power wins, and as a rule tne oest stayer is the man with the best stomach. All physical strength is derived from food which is properly digested ana assimilated. When the food eaten is onl v partly digested and assimilated there is a loss of nutrition which means a loss of strength and the general result is physical break -down. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery gives strength and staying power, because it cores diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It enables the perfect digestion and assimilation of the food eaten, and so strengthens the body naturally by the nutrition derived from food.
