Screamed with Pain Suffering Nearly Broke Parent's Heart Twelve Years of Misery Doctor Called Case Incurable Helped from First, and SPEEDILY CURED BY CUTICURA REMEDIES "I wish to inform you that your ronderful Cuticura has put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with differentremedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under thfv-are of doctors. Under their treatment the dieae spread to four different parts of his body. The longer thejdoetors treated him the worse it grew. During the day it would get lough and form like scales. At night it. would be cracked, inflamed, and Aaar swollen, with terrible burning anf iti ing. When I think of his sufTeJnatfit nearly breaks mv heart. Hi3 fAdlms could be heard down stairs. fering of my son mademe full on I had no ambition to work, to. nor could I sleep. " One doctor told me that son s eczema was incurable and gave It up for a bad job. One evening I saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give it a trial. "I tell you that Cuticura Ointment is worth its weight in gold; and when I had used the first box of Ointmentthere was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent my child was cured. He is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine' and smooth as silk, (signed) Michael Steinman, 7 Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., April 16, 190.5."

It 1 3 very rarely that death on the stage is a beautiful thing to contemplate. Probably two of the most horrible stage deaths were those of Mr. Mansfield as ' Dr . Jekyl and Mr. Hyde," and Wilton Lackaye as Svengali in "Trilby." Those who saw the hypnotist, fall backward on the table, with his great eyes staring at the audience, and the long, strong fingers tearing at his torso, will never forget the horror of it. It is one of those scenes which indellibly imprint them selves onthe tablets of the memory. Thet?r soers who have seen Mr. lackaye in his new piece. "The Iav unrl th? Man," founded on Victor Hu go's memorable novel, have contrasted the end of Jean Valjean with that of Svengali. Others who have not yet hnd opportunity, can do so tonight, When Mr. Lackaye will be seen at the Gennett. Vaudeville at the Phillips. Remarkable as it may seem there is no apparent decrease in the interest in vaudeville, notwithstanding the fact that Manager Murray, of the New Phillips, .has been givinig his patrons this line of entertainment for some two years with very little break. That there is no decrease in the interest is easily accounted for; it is due to the fact that conscientious effort is made to give the people the worth of their money and this fact is fully appreciated. This week's bill is an example of giving a very large dime's worth and the bill has pleased all who have seen it. Tonight the amateurs will participate in the program and on Saturday afternoon there will be a special matinee to which children will be admitted for five cents. Each Wednesday there is a souvenir matinee. Those who have not yet seen this week's bill still have four oppor 'has the exclusive rftt in Richmond the place of dark amalgumfilling. S North

New Phillips will not be regretted. Al. Reeves New Phillips. Al Reeves' "Big Beauty Show, which comes to the "New Phillips Sept. 27th, from all accounts, and newspaper notices, is without question "one of the best musical comedies on the road this season." Mr. Reeves has spared no expense In making this one big, grand traveling organization, ful ly equipped with beautiful scenery, gorgeous costumes and a grand dis play of electrical effects. "Thorns and Orange Blossoms"-s-Gen-nett. Tommy Swift, a young Chlcagoan, traveling abroad is the leading comedy role in the new Rowland and Clif ford play, "Thorns and Orange Blos soms," which will be at the Gennett Sept. 26th. Swift is one of those unctious, up-to-date chaps that infuses a ripple of jolly fun throughout the play and the audience does not care how long he holds the center of the stage. "Uncle Tom" Gennett. Generations of play -goers have en joyed "Uncle Tom's Cabin," the play that moved the world and made his tory. But It remained lor Manager Kibblfc, of the great Stetson CompaTiy.jfio place the old-time play in a mtiRern setting. While the text of rriet Beecher Stowe's master-piece preserved in its entirety in the Stet son production, there are other features introduced that make the en tertainment a novelty to those who have laughed with Topsy and wept with Eva years ago. This mammoth organization will appear at the Gennett Saturday, matinee and night. "A Mad Love" Gennett. The well known manager Edward R. Slater, announces another California find in the person of Lyda Powell, only lS-years-old and whom he is starring in "A Mad Love," the present season's emotionally dramatic sensation, and which is generally accepted as the modern successor to "East Lynne", an adaptation from "Lady Audley's Secret" revised so a to meet the taste of the times. It will be the attraction at the Gennett Sept. 25th.. As a play it is described as a dramatic relief from the gen eral run of similar works, depending wholely and solely on its truth of nature, its moral lesson and consis tency. "The Arrival of Kitty" Gennett Edward Rowers, the principal com edian of "The Arrival of Kitty" com pany which comes to the Gennett next Monday, was taken for the young Duke of Wellington while sit ting in a box at Albert Hall, last spring during the progress of the Charity Ball, and in Boston one day recently he was aca'n mistaken for a certain Harvard professor. In speak ins of the incidents the genial com edian said that he neither belongs to the faculty of the great University nor of the nobility of Eneland; that he is but a plain comedian whose mission in life is to try to make peo ple laugh and happy.

"I thought you said that man Is deeply in debt. Why, he has money to burn." "lie is in debt." "Then why doesn't he pay up?" "Then he wouldn't have money to burn." Ceuldn't.

Alexandre Dumas one day found in his mail a letter from a French count suggesting collaboration in the writing of a drama, Dumas to get the pe cuniary benefits and the count to share In the glory. The author sent the fol lowing answer: "Sir, I am not in the habit of harnessing a horse and an ass to my carriage. I regret, therefore. that I cannot accept your amiable proposition." The count, in his turn. wrote: "Sir, jour note refusing to join me in literary work is at hand. Of ourse you are at perfect liberty to refuse so advantageous an offer, but I forbid your calling me a horse in the future." Hoarseness.

DEADLY RIFLE BULLET.

Amailns: Velocity of Sew Catted States Army Projectile. Earthworks and trees will be slight protection to soldiery arrayed against the United States army when the in fantry is equipped with the new bullet which has been undergoing tests at the ordnance department of the .United States armory at Springfield, Mass. The bullet, which scarcely is an inch in length and is incased in a jacket of nickel steel, will be nearly a third lighter than any bullet now used in the standard armr rifles of the world. It will have greater muzzle velocity than any other bullet and will be the only sharp pointed , bullet used in military service. At short range the new bullet will penetrate thirty-nine inches of sea soned oak, at 500 yards thirty-two inch es of white pine and at 1,000 yards fourteen and one-half inches. If fif teen of the enemy's soldiers standing one behind the other chanced to be within range of the bullet a quarter of a mile away every one of them would be disabled by the single bullet. Brigadier General William Crozier, chief of ordnance of the United States army, recently expressed the opinion that the new- projectile was the best which had ever come under the obser vatiou of the ordnance department He said: "Unless further tests demonstrate that the new bullet has disadvantages which its many superior points fail to compensate the present bullet will be replaced by the new one." VITALITY OF SEEDS. Germinating Properties Retained For Many Years. It has often been observed that any sudden change in the superficial char acter of the soil is rapidly followed by an alteration in the nature of the plants growing thereon, new species appearing where the ground has hith crto been a stranger to them. Very many farmers, foresters and scientific men, among others the French botanist Foissou, are inclined to attribute this phenomenon to the retention of seeds, bulbs or spores of a former growth of vegetation in a quiescent 6tate, these seeds and growths retaining their powers of germination even after several other seccessive crops of plants have grown above them. Most botanists, however, have doubt ed the possibility of seeds retaining their germinating properties for so long a time and have explained the sudden appearance of strange plants In different places by natural means of seed transmission, as, for Instance, by birds, bees, currents of air and the like, says the Scientific American. A remarkable fact was once observ ed by Th. v. Ileldreich at the mountain called Laurion in Attica. After the removal of about ten feet of soil and rubble which had been undisturb ed for ages there suddenly sprang up a plant unknown theretofore in that re gionviz, a glaucium or horned poppy accompanied by a rich growth of fly catcher, or Silene juvenalis- del, a plant quite a stranger to Attica. The Cab Taxameter. The taxameter, a device to prevent extortion by cabmen, Registers the charge both according to distance and according to time. It shows the total amount taken in for passengers, for "extras," such as trunks, valises and bags, and it shows the entire number of trips made by the vehicle in which It Is placed. It is a sort of combination of a clock and a cyclometer. If the minimum charge is 50 cents,' the mechanism Is set accordingly, the numerals "IX)" showlu in the rectan gular space on the left hand side. For FACE OF TAXAMETER. every fifth of a mile after the first, 10 cents more is registered. If the ve hicle stops, then the clock begins ' to work, and the register shows 10 cents for every six minutes that the hack is not moving. When the hack starts again, then the clock stops and the device works by distance again. The apparatus is connected with the rear wheel. The little space on the right shows the number of passengers. The small space near the bottom shows the charge for "extras;" the driver himself regulates that. The small circular spaces show the total amount taken for driving, for "extras" and the number of trips made since the Instrument began at zero. Danger In Licking Stamps. The London Lancet calls attention to the "common and dirty practice of "licking' postage stamps" and points out many dangerous consequences. The Lancet In sending out special sup plement parcels, requiring three penny stamps, was struck with the brilliancy of the stamps. The yellow coloring was found on analysis to be due to a poisonous salt, chromate of lead. Each stamp in weight Is more than half a grain, and the quantity of chromate present is 2.53 per cent. Thus a fatal dose of one-fifth of a grain would be contained In fourteen stamps. n Winter Echo. "Fine spring weather we are having now; seems to me I smell moth bans." "Yes, nice spring day.

DARING ROBBERY

OF VILLAGE BANK Masked Men Hold Off Citizens While Their Companions Get the Treasure. GOT LARGE SUM IN CASH BOLD ROBBERS CARRY ON LOOT ING OF BANKS IN MICHIGAN LIKE JESSE JAMES OF EARLIER DAYS. Grand Rapids, Mich.. Sept. 20. Eight masked and heavily armed bur glars held the people of White Cloud, a village 45 miles north of here, a bay while they rifies the Newaygr County bank and attempted also tc rob the bank of R. Gannon & Sra The eight men rode into the town of White Cloud between 12 and 1 a. m., urrounded the buildings containiag the two banks and posted guards out side, while other members cf the gang worked inside. The interior of the Newag County bank was completely wrecked by two explosions. The burglars got between $2,000 and $4,000 in cash. Dynamite was then used to wreck the interior of the Gannon bank, but while the cracksmen were at work the towns people, awakened by the explosions gathered until there were so many of them present that the guards evident ly decided it was net prudent to wait longer. They called out the men working In the bank before they could get the safe open, and covering the citizens with guns rode out of town on horseback. Underground Waters. Washington, Sept. 20. One of the Important features of the investiga tion of the underground waters of Ohio and Indiana, now being carried on by the United States geological survey, is the study of the ground wa ters of the broad, gravel filled valleys that are the abandoned and buried channels of streams that formerly flowed several hundred feet below the present surface. Such a valley ex tends from Venice, near Miami, in the southern part of Butler county, south eastward through Hamilton county. The Miami river at one time floweo through this valley, but the course of the old stream has been filled to a great depth with gravel, sand and clay. The success of the deep wells in the gravels of the Miami valley sug gests to the surveyors that like re suits may be obtained in other gravel filled valleys in Ohio and Indiana. INTO LIQUIDATION , Will Go a National Bank In Missouri. Receiver Appointed. Washington, Sept. 20. The Bates National bank of Butler, Mo., was closed by the action of the board of directors for the purpose of going into liquidation. T. W. Butler has been appointed receiver. So far as the comptroller of the currency is advised no charges of wrongdoing have been made. The bank was organized in 1870. Its president is Captain W. J. Tygard, one of the best known men in that state. The other officers are J. B. Newberry, treasurer, and J. C. Clark, cashier. The bank has a paidup capital of $50,000. The last statement showed deposits of $105,000 and loans of $101,000. Attempt at Extortion Charged St. Louis, Sept. 20. William H. Ritter of Denver, Colo., a former member of the St. Louis house of delegates, who wrote Governor Folk last week volunteering to come here and testify regarding the handling of boodle money when he was a municipal lawmaker, was arrested at Hannibal, Mo., while en route to Denver. The arrest was made at the instigation of Circuit Attorney Sager. Ritter was brought to St. Louis and placed in jail. It is charged by Circuit Attorney Sager that Ritter attempted to extort money from R. A, Snyder of Kansas City by threatening to testify that Snyder gave him boodle money to distribute when the Central Traction bill fran chise was voted upon. CUNNING OF THE FOX. Its Skill When Running For Life From the Hounds. No other still hunter can travel sc quietly as a fox, and mighty few mer are as crafty as the four legged huntc-i when it comes to a matter of gettiri meat. Foxes have been seen in Enjr land slipping from bxish to bush, crawl Ing and creeping After a feeding hare for all the world like a man stalking r deer. The fox cannot catch a rabbit U a fair chas?, but its food is mostly r:l bits in spite of their fleetness. But r. no time d3t-s it display its skill so v r as when ruiiuing for life with a p:u-; of hounds on its trail. Olaus Magnus, archbishop of Upsal.: wrote a book called -IIistoria de Gen: bus Septentrionalibus," of which aEnglish translation exists. This bo..;-' tells of a fox that leeped from back t back of a herd of goats. As the dj could not follow, the fox escaped. A curious trick of English foxes is t jump as high as possible grasping s tree branch with their teeth, hold o: till the hounds Lave gone on and then dropping to the ground, escape. This i similar to the trick of the America! fox which Jumps into a tree an rests on a branch, but American dog are not such fools as English dog They gather around the tree and how till the hunter comes.
