Joseph Jefferson, jr., and' William W. Jefferson will appear at the Gennett theater next Saturday, matinee and night, in "The Rivals." The comedy, as it is best known to present theater-goers, is a condensation by Mr. Joseph Jefferson, sr., himself of the five act structure of Richmard Brinsley Sheridan, which was first acted one hundred and twenty-eight years ago, and which has from period to period engaged the talents and the devoted efforts of the most representative actors in two worlds. The student of the stage must find in the history of this comedy much to engage and hold his interest. In allusion to its original launching at the Covent Garden theater in London, Dr. Dorau tells us that "the toAvn damned, condoned and finally crowned it." Sheridan was then 23, and he surprised the croakers by Dentist RIBS, SHOULDERS, PIGS FEET,

showing what a youngster could do in wit, arrangement of plot and knowledge of meii and manners. When "The Rivals" was thought a failure, Cumberland, who was an abnormally sensitive author, and at the time under condemnation himself, declared that he could see nothing in Sheridan's comedy to laugh at. "That is ungrateful of him," was Sheridan's comment, "for I have laughed at a tragedy of his from beginning to end." This is the merit of Sheridan's comedies, says Hazlitt, that everything in them tells there is no labor in vain. His comic muse does not go about prying into obscure corners, or collecting idle curiosities, but shows her laughing face and points to her rich treasure the follies of mankind. Her eyes sparkle with delight and her heart runs over with good-natured malice. In "The Rivals" it is the situations that become irresistably ludicrous. "Witness the scenes between Lucy and Sir Lucius; Bob and his friend Jack (who is at once his confidant and his rival); Mrs. Mlaprop and the lover of her niece as Captain Absolute; and between that young lady and the same person as Ensign Beverly. It has been well said that there is no source of dramatic effect more complete than this kind of practical satire, where one character is made a fool of and turned into ridicule before his face by the very person he is trying to overreach. The company to be seen here includes the same cast that was with Joseph Jefferson, sr., early this season, notably John Jack, Ffolliott,
Paget, Percy Plunkett, Guy Coombs. Blanche Bender, Meta Greene and others. "Gentlemen be seated." These three words have for 3-ears inaugurated the fun at nnumerable minstrel entertainments during the part 40 years, but it remains to be seen whether Mr. Field will employ them in "starting his first part" at the Gennett tonight. It is more than likely that something new and vastly better will be the "break away" for the grandest minstrel entertainment that has ever visited this city. During the past eighteen years Mr. Field has led in presenting new ideas, more effects and beautifu stacre pictures in conjunction with his carnival of music and fun. Many have attempted to follow, but that they failed is evidenced by the fact that Mr. Field is still in the business with a bigger, brighter and better show, while the others are "out of business" and many of them forgotten. This conclusively proves that the man who succeeds in the show business is the one that secures the best of talent in all lines, advertises with a lavish hand and, best of all, "delivers the goods." This Al. G. Field has always done, and is still doing; that is why pople come from miles around to witness the Field shows; for they are assured that a rare treat is in store for them. Briefly stated the attractions with this season's organization are Burt Cutler's military band and orchestra. Good music is the foundation upon which a good minstrel show rests, and the "foundation" in this The distracting headaches from which bo many women suffer make life a daily purgatory. If men suffered with headache as women do, business would be almost at a stanstill. Does not the fact that men do not suffer from these severe headaches suggest that there must be a womanly cause for them ? When the womanly organism is diseased, headache, backache, nervousness and sleeplessness are consequences which are sure to follow. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures headaches and other aches and pains by curing their cause. It establishes regularity, dries unhealthy drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. It soothes pain and builds up the nerves. It transforms weak, sickly, nervous invalids into happy, healthy women. Thousands have testified to its marvelous merits. "I took two bottles of your ' Favorite Prescription and two of the ' Golden Medical Discovery' and am feeliner well," writes Mrs. Dan McKenzie. of Norway Mines, Cape Breton Co.. Nova Scotia. "I had uterine trouble, pain in the side and headache. After taking your medicines I got well. You may publish this or use it in any wav you think best, as I cannot speak too highly of Dr. Pierce and his medicines." "Favorite Prescription" has the testimony of thousands of women to its complete cure of womanly diseases. Do not accept an unknown and unproved substitute in its place. Free. Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay expense of mailing only. Send twenty-one one-cent stamps for the the book in paper covers, or thirty-one stamps for the cloth -bound volume. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
case is especially good. Funny, up-to-the-minute comedians are an essential, and of these Mr. Field has the best of those upon the American stage today. Vocalists of recognized ability, of which there are a round score, delight with solos, trios, sextets and octets, while the specialties are startling in coneep tion and marvelous in execution; add to this the bewilderingly beautiful scenic and electrical effects, grand transformations, etc., etc., and the "perfect" minstrel entertainment is the result. Don't fail to see Al. G. Field's greater minstrels at the Gennett theater tonight. Have you indigestion, constipation, headache, backache, kidney trouble?

Goldfifih. Goldfish are of Chinese origin. They were originally found In a large lake near Mount Tsientsing and were first brought to Europe in the seventeenth century. The first in France came as a present to Mine, de Pompadour. Oiygrn In tlie Blood. The Medical Brief recommends as the best way to get oxygen in the blood to walk uphill two or three times a day." Talking? Birds. The parrot is generally supposed to have the monopoly of the power of talking among birds, but, as a matter of fact, the parrot's voice is decidedly Inferior to that of the mina, a kind wf starling. Hockey In Canada. Hockey finds a large place in the Canadian's heart. At one time nev.iy every club, church and large bus;iess concern in the Dominion had its hoj;ey club. Cold .Air. The air contracts while cold, so thof" in one breath of 20 below atmosphere one gets much mere oxygen than one can imbibe with the same amount of lung effort when the thermometer shows 00 in the shade. A Cyprus Custom. At the birth of a child in Cyprus a vessel of wine is buried, to be served up afterward at its marriage. The Maltese Grain. The smallest coin in the world having a genuine circulation is probably the Maltese grain, a tiny fragment cf bronze about as big around as the top of a slate pencil and worth only onetwelfth of a penny. A Queer Freak. A morose French eccentric papered his walls with the deep bordered invitation cards received to the funerals of friends and acquaintances. Tea Drill kins' In Tibet. Tea drinking in Tibet can hardly b as enlivening as it is here. There the custom of poisoning is so a matter of course that no one, so it is said, thinks of drinking a cup of tea unless he first sees the person who offers it drink some of it. The Appanage Estates. The Appanage estates are the property of the Russian imperial family. Their area is 20.000,000 acres. Ail profIts from the timber go to the private purse of the czar. Lard For Cramps. A piece of lard the size of an egg creamed with sugar and divided into three equal parts and taken at intervals of twenty minutes will relieve any attack of cramps that has not progressed to the fatal point. Gibraltar. Gibraltar is a solid rock of limestone, stretching north and south, three miles ;ong, three-fourths of a mile wide at its widest part, and the highest point is li)G feet above the sea. Too Iflisr to Bide. The giant Ferregus, mentioned In more or less, reliable histories as having been slain by Orlando, nephew oi Charlemagne, was twenty-eight feet in height. While in the army he was forced to walk, there being no horse strong enough to bear hi m. The Wolf Month. "January was termed the wolf month ny the Saxons, as during this month, usually the coldest of the year, the wolves grew especially daring and ferocious. Why Korean llirls Marry. Should a Korean girl die before marriage her life has been a failure, since she has never been under the rule of j "lord of ci'eation." Were she to be buried in the family cemetery on the hillside her unruly spirit would cause trouble among the ancestors. So a hole is dug in one of the great highways, and her remains are deposited therein without ceremony. It is believed that as travelers pass day by day over the grave they will trample her unruly spirit into subjection.
A SLEEPLESS CITY.
in Minlrid the People Seem Never to Go to Bed. The Madrilenos are the greatest folks you ever saw for sitting up night. Business is usually suspended for two or three hours in the middle of the day for a siesta, which is the practice throughout all the Latin countries. In the old fashioned cities and towns ali the shops are closed at noon, tram cars stop running, and the streets are entirely deserted between 12 and 2 o'clock, and you would' as soon think of calling upon a man at 2 o'clock in the morning as between those hours. Madrid, however, is an up to date city. It has all the modern Improvements, the latest fashions from Paris and all of the fads, and the people in a great measure have departed from the customs of their Castilian ancestors. You can usually catch a car and find a cab at noonday, and the big shops keep open, but the streets are more lively, and noisy between 12 and 2 o'clock in the night than they are during those hours in the day. All night long, almost until daybreak, we who live in the downtown hotels can hear the rattle of wheels over the stone pavements, the chatter and laughter of people passing, the cries of the peddlers and the newsboys and the men, women and children who sell lottery tickets. The hand organs Were playing upon the street at 3 o'clock in the morning, an old blind man who blows a flute at the corner below the hotel keeps it up until 4 o'clock, and two orchestras of blind men who stray about from place to place and perform melancholy music under the windows of the residences and before the entrances of the shops do not give up their game until almost daylight. The beggars stay till the last, and they are as numerous here as in Constantinople. You can see such pitiable creatures in any city of Spain or Italy, and the strange part of it is that they appear to be at their posts all the time. When they sleep or eat is a mystery. They were there yesterday at 4 o'clock when I awoke and went over to close the blinds, and three or four hours later I saw them again. But it is a peculiarity of this city that people never seem to go to bed. You cannot look out upon the great square called Puerto del Sol. the rendezvous of the busybodies and the loafers of Madrid, at any hour of the night without seeing 500 or COO people standing idly aronrd, smoking cigarettes, talking politics and gossiping with one another, evidently without the slightest intention of going to bed, while the peddlers, as a matter of course, also remain and are moving around among them. Human streams continue to pour into the square from the side streets until daylight and disappear in other directions. Coming heme from the theater att'l or 2 o'clock in the morning, the sidewalks are overcrowded. You can meet women carrying children in their arms or leading them by the hand, as if they were returning home from some pleasure trip or from paying a visit. The cafes are open all night, and the theaters have plays beginning as late as 12:30 in the morning. The social life of Madrid is found at the theaters. Instead of exchanging calls at their homes people visit from box to box during the pltys and between the acts. There is a great deal of dressing. The theater is the only place' that many women have an opportunity to wear their good clothing, and the young men and young women have greater freedom there for conversation and flirtation than they can have anywhere else. Chicago RecordHerald. Free From "Help." "Aunt Jemima," as everybody called her, was the oldest person in the neighborhood. She was known to be over a hundred years old and insisted that she was nearly 120, but in spite of her advanced age she was still vigorous and in the enjoyment of perfect health. Moved by that feeling of curiosity which people have about anything that is abnormal or unusual, several fine ladies from the city went one day to the little village where she lived and called on her. "Tell us. aunty." said one of them, "what is the secret of your great age and your wonderful vitality." " 'Deed, honey." responded Aunt Jemima, with a sly twinkle in her eye, "I 'spect hit's bekase I hain't nevah had no trouble wid hiah'd guls." Youth's Companion. A Correction. Out of the mouth of a very small girl came a correction of the press. She is nine years of age, and she was to go to a party with sundry other small children. "How are we going?" she inquired. Her mother explained that she would go in an omnibus. "An omnibus!" (So early does the social twist show itself.) "Yes, but it's a private omnibus." said the mother. The little girl reflected. "But there can't be a private omnibus." she exclaimed. She was quite right, though one wonders how the small girl leaped from blank ignorance to the L.atin dative which denies privacy to an "omnibus," whiclj is "for everybody." London Chronicle. Liver Complaint. "The most efficacious cure for liver complaint is a clump on the side of the head." So says Jerome K. Jerome in "Three Men In a Boat." The cure will be more lasting if the "clump" is followed up by an abstinence from pie and coffee, by the eating of much fruit without any sugar, the drinking of quarts of hot water and lemon and the deep breathing of pure air. Exercise, too, is an important factor in the cure of liver complaint, but the most important of all is to have something to do something to work for. Maxwell's Talisman.
