Of course, such testimony is not that of a disinterested party and accordingly is not to be given the same credit as if written from disinterested motives. Dr. Pierce's medicines, however, form a single and therefore striking exception wt mis ruie. ineir claims to the confidence of Invalids does not reft solely upon their makers' say-so or praise.

Matinee and night. Primrose's Big Minstrels. Monday, Feb. 4. "The Man on the Box." PHILLIPS. Entire Week High class vaudeville. Primrose's Minstrels Gennett. George Primrose and his all star minstrel company, of black-faced artists, will hold Tiigh carnival at the Gennett, next Wednesday, matinee and night. Mr. Primrose himself, heads the organization, and has taken particular pains to surround himself with a com pany of comedians, singers, dancers and musicians of the first order. The second part of the entertain ment will be a new departure in minstrelsy. Instead of vaudeville, there will be introduced some very novel ideas, depicting negro life in Dixie, with song, dance and story. It opens with a typical negro sketch, wherein the pathetic as well as the humorous Bide of darkey life is shown. Then the scene changes to a field of snow white cotton in bloom and bud, at sunrise, with the plantation quarters and a river, which winds lazily toward the distant hills. As the sun comes out, a bell is heard in the distance, at the sound of which the cottages are seen to take on life and the folk song of the darkey is heard in the distance. During this scene Mr. Primrose will introduce a new soft shoo dance, in which he will be assisted by his "bunch of Cotton . Blossom Coons, a rare novelty and a revelation. In the next scene, that of the village parBonage on Sunday morning, the picture shows a quaint old church and cabins in the back-ground, the corn stacked in the field, and a crop of golden pumpkins on the ground with the parson's cabin in the foreground. As the scene opens, a young darkey is heard singing a pretty little Southern melody, which awakens the parson, who has been asleep on the porch, and as the song dies away, the crim

son slowly fades and the fading twi- Announcement is made of the dislight slowly passes into night. Just i bandment at Chicago of the "Flower as the moon breaks through a ejoud, aGirl" which was one of the local atmerry wedding party is heard in the i tractions this season. It will be redistance, with all the help and field membered that Isabel Meyers, a mem-

hands from the big plantations. After the ceremony the entire party joins in song, dance and merrymaking to the music of the banjo and the fiddle. ! until the bell is again heard, at the sound of which, all the festivities cease, and, alter tne preacner s Diessing, everyone departs. The final number of the performance is a magnificent spectacular transformation entitled "The Evolution of the Negro.' staged and produced by George Primrose. It is in five pictures, opening with the Darkey in the Moon, changing to an African Jungle, Darkey Life "befo' de wah." the Old Kentucky Home, The Emancipation, Darkey Heaven and the Birth of the Rose. Vaudeville at the New Phillips. No one who sees the vaudeville bill at the New Fhillips this week will have occasion to regret it. Carl D. McCullough, as an impersonator of well known singers, and opera stars, is very clever. Smileta Bros., comedy bar act are two of the best in their lino that have appeared at the Phillips this season. Every lover of vaudeville should certainly visit the New rhillips this week. The Man on the Box" Gennett. Henry E. Dixey, the most versatile, magnetic and altogether charming comedian on the American stage, in Walter N. Lawrence's production of "The Man on the Box." ia which he has just finished 204 nights at the Madison Square and Lyric theaters in New York, comes to the Gennett Monday night, February 4th. Every member of the New York company, all Ihe stage settings, and in fact, every detail of the New York performance, will absolutely be seen here, and no more notable attraction will be seen at the Gennett this year than Mr. Dixey In "The Man on the Box."

George Primrose, with POLICE HOLD SWAY AT THAW'S TRIAL Curious Outsiders Abandon all Hope of Gaining Entrance to the Courtroom. DEFENDANT IS DOWNCAST SHOWS SIGNS OF HAVING PASS ED A SLEEPLESS NIGHT SLOW PROGRESS MADE IN SE LECTING A JURY. (Publishers' Press. J New York, Jan. 24. None of the confusion which marked the opening of the Thaw trial was visible Thursday. The police had the situation well in hand and those who had no immediate business in the court room learned the futility of trying to break through the cordon of bluecoats. The session began with two jurors in the box, Deming B. Smith and Charles R. Fecke. Nearly half an hour before the ses sion was open Thaw's wife entered the court room through the main door way, soon followed by other relatives of the defendant. The absence of Thaw's mother from the court room was explained by one of the attorneys for the defense. He said that the strain Wednesday proved too much for her, and that she was on the verge of collapse when she returned to her hotel after the day's proceedings closed. He said it is not the intention of Thaw's mother to attend every session of the court during the trial. In examining talesmen for the selection of jurors the district attorney followed in detail the lines of examination he pursued Wednesday. His questions seemed to be directed to the purpose of securing a jury which will not be swayed by sentiment or emotion, which will be guided by the law of the state, as interpreted by the presiding justice, to the exclusion of any so-called higher or unwritten law.
