Grace Van Studdiford In "The Golden Butterfly" at the Gennett Wednesday, Octob er 20.

"The Traveling Salesman." "The Traveling Salesman," James Forbes's latest comedy, which Henry B. Harris will present at the Gennett Monday, October IS monopolizes the laugh market for the season, inasmuch as it is being: designated by tbe press and public as tbe greatest comedy success of the past twenty years. The faithfulness with which Mr. Forbes has depicted certain incidents in the life of a drummer on the road, is worthy of commendation, sufficiently so as to warrant the endorsement of the United Commercial Travelers and the Travelers Protective Association. It will be acted here by the same company that helped make it a huge success in New York and Chicago, in which cities it rani for over a year. "The Golden Butterfly." The Hungarian grape harvest scene in the third act of "The Golden Butterfly" is an artistic triumph and true to nature in color and action. The masses of foliage, green, silver and brown, the great clusters of purple, red and golden grapes, the gay hued gowns of the girls and the picturesque costumes of the men and tbe tinkling of the horses bells as they are driven past with great baskets plied high with grapes, and the singing of the harvesters, is considered one of the most beautiful and unusual scenes afforded the public. "The Golden Butterfly" with Grace Van Studdiford and a large corps of comedians, singers and dancers, will be the attraction at the Gennett theater Wednesday evening, Oct. 20. "The Merry Widow." The Viennese are essentially a bright, happy, pleasure-loving people, fond of music, gaiety and the dance, and "The Merry Widow" the wonderful musical importation from gay Vienna has lost not an atom of her brilliancy and sparkle by translation into the English tongue. It is a draught of intoxicating wine, full to overflowing of golden bubbles. No sooner does one reach the surface and burst than it is followed by another and another, with an apparently inexhaustible supply. Never once does the wine lose its sparkle. The draught is invigorating, full of delicious exhilaration, and when the glass is drainIf It Disappears, It's Eczema. How to Tell Whether a Skin Affection is an Inherited Blood Disease or Not. Sometimes it is hard to determine whether a skin affection is a sign. of a blood disorder or simply a form of eczema. Even physicians are often puzzled in their diagnosis. The best way for any one afflicted is to go to W II. Sudhoff's or any good druggist who handles pure drugs and obtain 50 cents' worth of poslam. Apply this, and if the itching stops at once and the trouble is cured in a few days it may be set down as having been eczema, as this is the way poslam acts in the worst cases of eczema, and in curing acne, herpes, blotches, tetter, piles, salt rheum, rash, barber's and other forms of itch, scaly scalp, and all surface skin affections. Those who will write to the Emergency Laboratories, No. 32 West Vwenty- fifth Street. New York, can secure, by mail free of charge, a supply suffici.Jit to cuie a small eczema surface or clear a complexion overnight and remove pimples In twentyfour hours.

IS A MODEL THEATEl AND IS FIRE-r-ROOF

Manager Murray, in Return For Compliments Given Him Offered Best Vaudeville Bill Possible.

The New Murray theater. Tenth and Main streets, was formally opened to the public last evening, with the most exceptional program that has ever been given in thi3 city, and in the presence of two large audiences which taxed the capacity of the theater. Many were prevented from attending the first performance, but were present at the second. The New Murray theater has been under the progress of construction since last spring. The finishing touches have not all been put on the

building as yet, although the theater proper is completed. It was pronounced the most up to date vaudeville bouse in the middle' west by the patrons who were present House a Safe One. Every detail for the comfort and safety of the public has been effectively worked out in the construction of the house. Likewise every detail for putting on the attractions to best advantage. The color scheme is old ivory, green and gold, being particularly pleasing to the eye. The seating capacity of the play house is approximately 800 and sufficiently large to warrant the staging of high class plays, other than vaudeville attractions. In fact, the management may later bring a few of the best shows on the road here. In respect to the seating capacity, it could have been increased a large percent, had not Mr. Murray made comfort the most important rule of his plans in the construction of the house. The seats are sufficiently wide to admit the fat man at the circus and permit him to enjoy the performance. The tall man who has no place to put his knees at the ordinarily arranged play house, will have no complaint to make about the seat arrangement in the New Murray. A Spacious Lobby. In entering the theater, one passes into a spacious lobby, attractively fitted and decorated. The wainscoating of both the main entrance and the lobby is marble. Both the entrance and the lobby are well lighted. Off to the left of the lobby as one enters, is to be found the office and ladies retiring room. Before passing into the main auditorium of the theater, one goes through three sets of doors which prevent all noise from Main street and cold air from entering. In respect to the fire protection afforded the public, Mr. Murray has arranged so that in the event of a fire the danger is reduced to almost nil. The stage curtain is made out of asbestos and there is also provided a waterproof curtain. Any blaze starting on the stage would be confined to that particular section of the theater. Even providing a fire started from some source in the main auditorium, it would be possible to empty the theater in record time, there being exits to either side of the theater. This is true of tbe gallery as well as the main floor. Murray Complimented. Compliments were bestowed on Mr. Murray from every side. Those who could congratulate him personally did so, but this was impossible for all and they showed their appreciation of Mr. Murray's efforts in their behalf by applause. It is safe to say that there was not a disappointed person present last evening. A number of professional theater men were present. These formed an inspection party and paid Mr. Murray the highest compliments. Mr. Murray was represented by Attorney Will Reller. Mr. Reller made a short speech in which he congratulated the public on having such an excellent play house and made complimentary references to Mr. Murray for his endeavor to furnish Richmond with the best vaudeville attractions. These references were followed by prolonged applause from the audience. A Spacious Bill. As pertains to the initial performance given in the theater, nothing too complimentary can be said of it It Is without exception, one hundred percent better than any vaudeville performance ever put on in this city before. Le Clair and Sampson, the burlesque strong man have one of the cleverest stunts on the stage today. Ferguson and Passmore, who are advertised as past masters in dancing, live up to their advertised reputation. The one act comedy "Our Wife put on by Frank Rutledge and two supporting characters is very good. However, the hit of the evening was Eddie Adair and bis Yankee Octette and Edythe Henney. This act Is high class musical comedy. The eight members of the chorus, Mr. Adair and Miss Henney, are well costumed, have a number of catchy and original songs and carry special scenery. The opening overture by the New Murray orchestra, the illustrated sons

ORPHEUM STOCK CO. The Orpheum Stock company which opened a week's engagement at the Gennett theater last evening has a number of very good plays in its repertoire. For tonight the bill is that old familiar play of Daniel Sully's "A Parish Priest." Both Miss Louise Brown and Mr. Edward Doyle made pronounced hits last evening.

Bad Stomach Causes Unsightly Complexions. L. H. Fine Has a Remedy. Bad stomachs mean bad blood: bad blood means sallow, unattractive skin. Why? The stomach In a healthy condition separates the nutritious matter

from the food and gives it to the blood

to supply the entire body with nour ishment.

If the stomach is not in a healthy

condition it does not separate from

the food tlie nutritious matter and it

passes off with the waste.

Thus the blood is impoverished and has not sufficient nourishment to supply the muscles, skin and body gen

erally.

If you have belching of gas, distress

after eating, nausea, biliousness, ner

vousness or foul breath, then your stomach is wrong and you want the best prescription for stomach troubles

For traveling, trading and all tbe things one must not do on tbe Sabbath. Scotland, of course, must ever held the palm. Not in tbe seventeenth century alone, but through all the ages and ren unto tbe present day !he Scotch Sunday has a law unto itself. There is the experience of James Payn. for instance, in the Edinburgh of only tbe seventies. "In tbe street where 1 first resided." be wrote, "it struck me that to judge by tbe drawn down blinds the people spent a good deal of their time upon the seventh day in bed. On my second Sunday, however. I was undeceived, for my laudlady came up and Informed me that, though she had not spoken of it last Sunday, she must now draw , my attention to tbe fact that It was not usual in Edinburgh to draw up tbe window blinds on tbe Sabbath and that the neighbors bad begun to remark upon tbe unlawful appearance' of her establishment, which bad heretofore been n ".od fearing house."

Th. .. . w. wiowds. In the buiiiUn of theater galleries and grand stands tbe supporting strength of the structure has to be carefully worked out. This is done by multiplying the area In square feet by the pressure which it is estimated a crowd exerts per square foot and mak ing tbe supports proportionately strong. At one time the weight of a crowd was determined nt between 82 and 102 pounds per square foot, but experiments have shown this to be a great underestimation and tbat the weight exerted is now calculated at from 123 to 133 pounds.

BURGLARS' TOOLS. Most of Them Mad by Supposed: Resptctabie Mechanics. Every little while, said a d?tectiv recently, the police arrest a wan witt a set of burglar's tools in his posses sion. and oue tint orally wonders wbrr. tbey alt come from.

burglar in tbe pursuit of his calling? There are places In the large cities where these things are made and soul to the users, but such places are ex ceedingly scarce. It may seem a little strauge to learn tbat most of tbe tool. used in burglaries are made by mechanics who are looked uion as to spectable mien tn tbe community. When a burglar wants any partlcn lar tool made be goes to a mecbanie who can do the job and pays him per haps fire times what It is actually worth for making tbe tool and keeping quiet about It. Many detectives can recall cases of this kind tbat have come to light. One in particular occurred some years age when an escaped convict named Williams went to a blacksmith and got blm to make a lot of drills to be used in safe cracking. He personally superintended tbe tempering of tbe steel, but when tbe job was nearly completed it leaked out. and Williams was arrested. In this Instance tbe blacksmith knew nothing of tbe use to which the tools were to be put. Most of tbe tools used by burglars are secured in the same way. Philadelphia Inquirer.

There was an occasion on which some gentleman was denouncing the noble lord In really very fine style, and tbe noble lord gave every indication of being not only asleep, but fast asleep and snoring. The indignant member exclaimed, "Sir, even in this crisis In tbe history of our nation the noble lord is asleep." Lord North opened one eye for one moment and made tbe memorable remark.

Gallant Evanston Alderman to Rescue of Women's Freak Hats

Chicago, Oct. 12. Evanston women wear such large bats that trees need to be trimmed to make room for them on the shady walks. While the large headgear affected by the women have been reviled by other solons, and measures have 'been Introduced in various legislative balls seeking to have them abolished. Alderman W. G. Sherer of Evanston has been cudgeling his brains to devise a measure for their protection. After much, thought he found he didn't have to get up any new law. The existing ordinances of the city of Evanston provide that all trees and shrubs must be removed from within eight feet of the sidewalk. So he called the attention of the city council to this ordinance and Chief of Police Shaffer was instructed to see that it was enforced to the letter. Alderman Sherer stated that he had received several complaints from the fair sex in his ward that the trees and shrubbery interfered with tbe wearing of hats made It impossible to carry umbrellas in. a position to shelter such hats and were otherwise a nui

sance. Other aldermen . staled that they had received similar complaints, plaints. "We want the sidewalk." said Mayor Joseph E. Paden. "made ae that women can wear the present style of hat in safety and comfort. "Yes," supplemented Alderman Sherer, "we want the peach basket and the merry widow and the punch bowl to have a chance." The council was unanimously In favor of aiding; the feminine distress, and. after a discussion of ways and means. It was decided that the city ordinance covered the matter and Chief of Police Shaffer was given orders to stringently enforce the law In regard to clearance of trees and shrubs.
