"Girl Will Be Girls." "Girls will be Girls," is coming to the Gennett on Saturday, matinee and night. This musical comedy of school girl fun, has met with large success all over the country, and will Undoubtedly pack the house here. The three Rosebuds are members of the cast, also the Dancing Dolls, a sensational dancing act. There is a chorus of 30 and Will C. Mandeville, who heads the company, is a clever comedian with a dozen New York successes to his credit, including the leading comedf roles in "The Belle of New York," "Florodora," and "El Capitan," having successfully followed DeWolff Hopper In the stellar role of Sousa's deligtful opera for two seasons. Otis Skinner. When Otis Skinner first went starring, he began by acting in Shakespearean and classic dramas, "hill-top" plays as George Bernard Shaw would call them. He gave the public productions of "Franceses Da Rimini," "Prince Otto." "The Harvester," A Soldier of Fortune," and His Grace de Grammont." They were good plays, full of imaginative and poetic power, well produced after the expenditure of much thought and care. The critics rated them among the best of our time, but they did not pay, and, Mr. Bk inner was advised by his friends to change his tune. But Mr. Skinner 13 a man of Ideals, with the soul of a poet and the artistic conscience of a Carlyle. He came under the managerial standard of Charles Frohman who provided him with another ultra-idealistic play, 'The Duel," which made the thinking few rejoice, and pleased th? great mass of Dilletan play-goers in a vague sort o fway. Next Mr. Frohman unearthed for him out of the great bulk of French dramas acted in Paris the previous season and which he had secured for use in this country, a stageworthy and actable piece called the "Honor of the Family." It enabled Mr. Skinner to stay four months In New York city, and for the time, his fine talents were not only recognized, but pecuniarily rewarded. The character of Colonel Phillippe Bridan was so convincingly acted by Otis Skinner, with so many masterly touches and such unerring art, that it last New York opened its arms to him. and gave him substantial proof of its admiration by swelling the actor's bank account in a very appreciable way. "Graustark." "Graustark" the dramatization of Geo. Barr McCutcheon's book is to return to the Gennett Thursday evening; Geo. D. Baker's dramatization of McCutcheon's book is an excellent one. he having closely followed the lines and situations of the author. The story of the two Americans, who, through pluck and daring, fight and win the objects of their affection, has turned out to be a masterful romantic drama, on the order of "The Prisoner of Zenda." The company engaged in the presentation of "Graustark is a competent one, each indi-

At the Murray. Everyone seemed to enjoy the per formance at the Murray last night. It seems as though last week's bill brought the crowds and they first began to realize the real superiority of the vaudeville put on at the Murray. The management is leaving nothing undone that will further promote this class of amusement. The bill this week is excellent. Authoritatives on vaudeville have pronounced it even better than the one last week and it really is. The Famous Alpine Troupe in their novelty acrobatic act, are easily the greatest drawing card. Their act Is original and the only one of its kind in the world. They inaugurate an aerial double wire act that you do not see anywhere else and it is the only one of its kind now on the stage. Their feats are marvelous and performed with apparently great ease. The Four Lubins furnish that much desired singing and dancing portion of a vaudeville bill. Their harmony and training goes to make up a very pleasing act from a musical standpoint and their dancing cannot be beaten. Gladys Sears receives much applause in her act of impersonations. They are very clever and real. Cole and Coleman in their comical musical act, give the audience a combination that has become very popular on the vaudeville stage in recent years. That Is real good music and plenty of wit and humor. Their music is very good and they are sure to make everyone laugh.

"I was in a railroad accident once," said a bishop, and I was helping an elderly lady from our wrecked car. Behind us came a noble looking English lady with ber husband by her' side. "She was scolding him well for starting on their journey on Friday. 'I told you, James, she said, 'something would happen if we should start on Friday.' " 'Madam,' said I, 'do you know that Columbus set sail to discover America on Friday?' ' "She looked at me with Indignation I and said, 'Sir, In my opinion it is a great pity America was ever discovered at all.' " Drawn In. Hanson How did you come to marry the widow Boncoeur Instead of her daughter? I thought it was the daughter you were after. Janaon Well, so I was, to tell the truth, but when I asked Marie to marry me one day she said, "Ask mamma," and when I started to do it I stammered so with nervousness tbat mamma said "Yes" before I had. the question .out, . der you can get relief within five minutes. If you will get from your pharmacist a 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin you could always go to the table with a hearty appetite, and your meals would taste good, because you would know there would be no Indigestion or Sleepless nights or Headache or Stomach misery all the next day; and, besides you would not need laxatives or liver pills to keep your stomach and bowels clean and fresh. Pape's Diapepsin can be obtained from your druggist, and contains more than sufficient to thoroughly cure the worst case of Indigestion or Dyspepsia. There is nothing better for Gas on the Stomach or sour odors from the stomach or to cure a Stomach Headache. You couldn't keep a handier or more useful article in the house.
AN ACCURSED BRIDGE.
He Wedding- Partr la F.nnlnnd Will Paw Over the Strnetare. Standing In the center of an open field at Hoxne, near Eye. in Snffolk, is an obelisk erected to the memory of King Edmund, who met his death there at the hands of the Danes in 870. On the site ot the monument stood an oak tree, in the branches of which the king i sought refuge from his foes. At nightfall he emerged from his leafy hiding place and secreted himself under a bridge which spanned a stream called the Goldbrook. A wedding party, however, passing over the bridge In the evening, observed the king's gold spur glittering in the moonlight, and In this way his retreat became known to his enemies. He was taken back to the tree In which he had previously hidden himself and shot with arroAVB, and his body was afterward removed to Bury St. Edmunds and Interred in the monastery there. On Goldbrook bridge is inscribed a record of the event. Local tradition has it that many years ago the existing inscription was followed by the words, "Cursed be the wedding party that passes this bridge." No part of this anathema Is now visible, but the tradition Is so well known that a bridal party will take a circuitous route rather than pass over the bridge. London Stauila ri. No Harm Done. "Dear me. pa," said the young: and beautiful heiress, "you'll mortify me to death yet." "What's the matter now, Lil?" "You told John to go down to the depot and get the earl's baggage right out loud so that he couldn't help hearing you. Why can't you learn to say station and luggage?" "Oh. don't mind that. The earl won't care. He's got used to United States talk. He asked me this morn ing how 1 got my dough and how much I had of it." Exchange. THE. FIRST CIGARS. Haraniii Were Smoked In Paris aa Long: Aajo aa 1813. When were cigars first smoked? According to a French authority, the weed in this shape was not introduced into France till the return of the French army from Spain In 1823. This fact is on the authority of Illppolyte Auger, the dramatic author, who writes thus in his memoirs: "Our return from Paris was by way of Orleans. On the route we met quite frequently officers returning from Spain. They had generally cigars in their mouths a new habit, since become general. From this point of view the campaign of 1823 had the good financial result of establishing a new branch of Import trade." Another document, however, carries back the use of the cigar to a slightly earlier period. The "Hermit of the Chassee d'Antin," 1813, going to see his nephew, a young officer at Paris, finds him at bis hotel In morning costume and smoking a Havana cigar. The taste for cigars seems at this time to have been sufficiently extended to make them a common article in the stock of every grocer who was careful to cater to the wants of his customers. Pennsylvania leads the world in buckwheat flour. Walter's heads the list. One trial convinces. At your grocer's. A FAMOUS PROBLEM. It Did Not Take Newton Long to Find the Correct Solution. In Newton's time it was often the custom for illustrious mathematicians, when they had discovered a solution for some new and striking problem, to publish that problem as a challenge to the world while withholding their own solution. A famous instance of this is found in what Is known as the Brachistochrone problem, which was solved by John Bernouilli. The nature of this problem may be mentioned. It was to And the shape of the curve along which a body would slide down from one point (A) to another (B) in the shortest time. It might at first be thought that the straight line from A to B, as it is undoubtedly the shortest distance between the points, would also be the path of quickest descent, but this is not so. There is a curved line down which a bead, let us say, would run on a smooth wire from A to B in a shorter time than the same bead would require to run down the straight wire. Bernoulli's problem was to find out what that curve must be. Newton aolred it correctly. He showed that the carve was a part of what is termed a cycloid that is to say, a curve like that which is described by a nail on the rim of a carriage wheel aa the wheel runs along the ground. Such was Newton's geometrical Insight that he was able to transmit a solution of the problem on the day after he had received It to the president of the Royal society.
LIFE TERM GIVEN
TO BRUTE Indiana Fiend Dramatically Flashes Written Confession on the Court. HE ASSAULTED A CHILD AFTER THE JUDGE HAD IMPOSED SENTENCE THE MAN WAS HURRIED TO A TRAIN AND TAKEN TO MICHIGAN CITY. Washington, Ind., Nov. 16. When arraigned yesterday afternoon on a charge of having criminally attacked the eleven-year-old daughter of Alanson Wise, Cashier of the Washington National Bank, whom he met playing with other children in a grove near the Wise home, John Eagle dramatically drew a written confession from his pocket and handed it to Judge Houghton. It read: "My dear old father and mother are now growing old and must suffer the remainder of their lives for my mistakes. My life has not been what it should. I see my mistake, but too late. Makes a Statement. "While I confess to this Court that I committed the crime, as charged, I want to say, not especially for my own benefit, but for the benefit of the young men of this county, that if my brain had not been poisoned from the effects of liquor, and especially from drinking nearly one quart of whisky a few hours before I committed this act, I believe I would be today a free man." Judge Houghton sentenced Eagle to imprisonment for life, and Sheriff Col bert hurried the prisoner to the rail-v road station, where they boarded a train for the Michigan City Prison. A crowd assembled to see the Sheriff take Eagle away, but there was no violent demonstration. A Heinous Offense. The crime committed by Eagle was the most heinous ever committed here, his victim being a member of one of the most prominent families. The crime was committed on Sunday afternoon, October 27, his little victim being seized by Eagle while he was fleeing from the police, he having committed a robbery an hour before. He made his escape after brutally mistreating the child, and although police officers and posses of citizens searched for him, he was not captured until two days later, when he was found near St. Francisville, 111. Threats of mob violence were made openly and crowds of enraged people gathered upon the streets at the time, but by the time he was captured excitement had somewhat subsided and the law was permitted to take its course. Eagle is 27 years old.

"There are two trade secrets," said an artist, "that the outside world, It seems, will never learn. One Is a Chinese secret the making of the bright and beautiful color called vermilion or Chinese red. The other Is a Turkish secretthe inlaying of the hardest steel with gold and silver. "Among the Chinese and among the Syrians these two secrets are guarded well. Apprentices, before they are taken for either trade, must swear a strong oath to reveal nothing of what passes In the workshop. These apprentices, furthermore, most belong to families of standing, must pay a large sum by way of premium and must furnish certificates of good character and honesty. "You have seen damascened steel, of course, and you have seen vermilion or Chinese red. Remember the next time you look at these two things that their secrets hare been guarded inviolably and have been banded down faithfully from one generation to another for thousands of years. Chicago Chronicle. Good Eaeack. "Is your name Good enough?" asked a bill collector of a man oa whom he was calling. "It is," answered the man, with a look of surprise. "Then I hare a bill against you." And be handed him a slip of paper. "That is not my name." said the man. "But yeu said your name was Goodenough." "So It is," said the man as he prepared to close the door. "It's good enough for me." The Heater's Advantages. "If we economize," said the husband, "we will soon have a house of our own Instead of having to live In rented property." "But Tm not sure I should like that," answered the wile.. "I couldn't drive nails anywhere I please In the walls or woodwork of our own bouse, you know." Chicago News. Fooled Bin. "Why am I lite a pin?" asked Mr. Jones triumphantly of his wife. He expected she was going to say, "Because yea are so sharp,' and he was simply paralyzed when abe replied: "Because if yoa should get lost it wouldn't be worth white to spend flrar looking for ma."

Progress In medical compounds npvr censes, and now it is staled by a prominent medical man that any depseated cough or cold on the tunes can be actually cured in five hours by the clock. Opium and morphine have been resorted to in the past, as relief measures. But now it is learned that the system must be treated to rid it of inflammation and congestion. A tonii laxative cough syrup does the work so quickly and thoroughly as to be almost magical. What heretofore has taken weeks to cure can be accomplished in hours. Get this formula fill ed or mix it at home and always keep it on hand: One-half ounce fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce compound essence cardiol and three ounces syrup white pine compound. Shake the bottle and take twenty drops every half hour for four hours. Then take onehalf to one teaspoonful three or four times,a day until the system is puri fied and toned up. Give children less according to age. One filling will usually cure a whole family, as the dose is email. EAGLES IN REAL LIFE. The? De Jlot Poaaeaa the Mad FeroeIty One Read Ahoat. Did the old eagle show fight? Is the first query put by the casual listener. I always see a trace of disappointment sweep over his countenance when be hears the answer. The moment you speak of climbing to an eagle's aerie the average man gets an Idea of a harrowing tale of the photographer hanging to the edge of a cliff or the top of a tree, with the old eagles clawing out pound chunks at every swoop. Few eagles possess the mad ferocity pictured and magnified by sensational story tellers. When we first scrambled over bowlders of the canyon up toward the nest I saw the old eagle slip quietly from her eggs and sklm out over the mountain top. When I strapped on the climbers to ascend the tree I had one eye opened for trouble. But each time we visited the spot the parents silently disappeared and stayed away as long as we cared to hold possession. They kept a watchful eye, however, from the blue distance overhead. For a noble bird like the eagle this abandoning of the nest and young seemed to me cowardly at first. Perhaps the long years of persecution have taught him something. The first rule of self preservation of this pair seemed to be to keep half a mile distant from the animal that lights with neither beak nor claw. Country Calendar. Worshiped at a Dlataae. Curiosity had led the little girl to forsake the nursery, where the other children were playing, and to go to take a peep at the great parlors where the company had assembled, but she prudently remained concealed among the palms. One of the guests spied her there. "Hello, little glrir he said. "Are you having a good time?" " 'M-hm! Say, do you see that lady over there under the chandelier ? That's my mamma. Isn't she nice?" "Indeed she is. Can't you Introduce me?" "Goodness, no!" she exclaimed. "I couldn't do that. I haven't been introduced to her myself yet." Chicago Tribune. Could Hot Qaallfr.
