DRAINAGE MEETING WAS OPENED TODAY National Congress Held in New Orleans. A Very Large Attendance. (National News Association) NEW ORLEANS, La., April 10. The second annual meeting of the National Drainage Congress formed last year was opened here today with a large attendance of delegates representing every State in the Union as well as many large and small cities in all parts of the country, delegates of various large commercial, industrial and other civic bodies and representatives of various colleges and agricultural institutions. The Congress will remain in session three days and will devote its attention principally to the consideration and discussion of the national land reclamation plan which has been worked out by a committee appointed by the first congress. Efforts will be

made to secure the co-operation and assistance of the national government in the plans for reclaiming for agricultural purposes the 75,000,000 acres of overflow alluvial and swamp lands in the United States. Congress is to be urged to create a commission to make the necessary surveys and estimates of cost and to work out, in connection with the several States affected, laws for the general reclamation of such waste lands. Col. William C. Gorgas, chief engineer of sanitation in the Panama canal zone, who, with the sanction of the federal government has accepted the position of third vice 'president of the Congress, will be one of the notable speakers. If we purify our blood, keep our bowels regular, we are most certain to keep off dangeerous Spring diseases. Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea is the leading blood purifier and bowel reg ulator; cleanses the system of all impurities. 35c, Tea or Tabs. A. G. Lu-ken. Hired Crowns. To economical, minds there must be a certain waste implied in the making of a new crown for every queen. Yet this has been the rule. Queen Alexandra and Queen Victoria both had crowns made for them, and it was Queen Adelaide who was the first to rebel against a hired crown. "I will not wear a hired crown." she said to the minister who was discussing the matter with her. "Do you think it right I should?" "Madam, the late king (George IV.) wore one." "Well, I will not. I do not like it. I have jewels enough to make one for myself. "In that case." interposed the king, "they will have to pay for the setting." "No. no." replied Adelaide. "I will pay for it all myself." And this was the course adopted. London Chronicle. . An international coal smoke abatement exhibition will be held in London in March and April. Properly Made More Valuable Improve the Appearance of Your Home and You Will Make It Worth More. Visitors to Dayton would do well to attnd the Lecture which is given daily at the N. C. R. Hall for Industrial Education, at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m,. This lecture is free and is of special interest to property owners and people interested in neighborhood improvement work and civic betterment of all kinds. The way a certain section of a city and the property in that section came to be changed and improved is brought out forcibly in the lecture. It tells how the co-operation of the people of a neighborhood working together and with the assistance of flowers, shrubs and green, grass changed unkempt, untidy and disagreeable surroundings into a beautiful residential district. By means of slides and moving pictures, the work is explained and valuable hints given in landscape gardening. The property in that part of Dayton which is now South Park has been more than trebled in value since the citizens in that section took up in earnest the question of Landscape Gardening. The National Cash Register Company was forced to advocate the landescape garden work because of the unsavory condition of the neighborhood. Employes would not buy land in Slidertown, as it was then called, because property was steadily decreasing in value. This has all been changed and today, what was Slidertown a few years ago, is now one of the most beautiful residential sections of the city and property increasing in value every year. This is a lesson that every householder and property owner should take home because it has a "dollar and cents' value, which can hardly be estimated until you see in South Park, the tangible results. These lectures answer many questions daily asked of the Company and its employes of its history and methods, and tell in detail of its Welfare Work. It goes further and demonstrates that Welfare Work is not a philanthropic idea it's a matter of business and is a paying investment. There is no doubt but what many other manufacturers could apply certain Welfare ideas which are in vogue at The N. C. R. to the betterment of their own business. As stated before, these lectures are given daily at 10 a.m. and 3 p. m., except on Saturday, when the lecture is given only In the morning. The offices open at 8 a. m. and close at 5:15 p. m, and during the intervening hours visitors are conducted through the plant by expecrienced escort. Wheel-chairs are provided for elderly people.

JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

Which is Better Try an Experiment or Profit by a Richmond Citizen's Experience. Something new is an experiment. Must be proved to be as represented. The statement of a manufacturer is not convincing proof of merit. But the endorsement of friends is. Now supposing you had a bad back, A Lame, Weak or Aching one. Would you experiment on it? You will read of many so-called cures. Endorsed by strangers from far away places. It's different when the endorsement comes from home. Easy to prove local testimony. Home endorsement is the proof that backs every box of Doan's Kidney Pills. Read this case: Mrs. Fred Heater, 607 N. Thirteenth street, Richmond, Ind., says: Doan's Kidney Pills were used in my family several years ago with the best of results in a case of backache. This remedy was procured at A. G. Luken & Co.'s Drug Store and it effected a complete cure. I publicly recommended Doan's Kidney Pills in 1906 and at this time I have no hesitation in verifying that statement."

Gennett Theater. April 13. "The Lonesome Pine." At The Murray Vaudeville afternoon and night At the Palace. Latest Motion Pictures. The Lonseome Pine. This attraction as offered by Bert Mosher can be truthfully classed as a city attraction on a par with "The Lion and the Mouse," "The Climax," "The Wolf" and all late successful plays. For a star Mr. Mosher has secured Roy L. H. Marr, who will be remembered for good fork in several productions. Coming next Saturday matinee and night. At the Murray. The average person after he has seen the act of the Jewell's Manikins at the Murray has an idea that the figures, as soon as the act is over are ruthlessly thrown in a trunk until needed for the next performance. But this is far from being the actual case. For no star's wardrobe was ever more carefully looked after than the costumes of these tiny puppets. After each performance the dolls are carefully undressed the costumes dusted off and hung on its separate hanger. Four sets of costumes are carried and three changes a week are the invariable rule. The first thing Miss Jewell does upon arriving at the town she is to show in is to send the soiled costumes to the cleaner where they undergo the regular French dry cleaning process. If Miss Jewell followed the custom set by most the big musical cofedy companies she would have printed upon the program of the manigins "Gown by Worth, Paris, Wigs by Clarkson, London. "Why do you know," said Miss Jewell, wrinkling her forehead into a most unbecoming frown, "Those awful Yankee custom officers actually charged us duty on all of the manikins' wardrobe when we landed at New York." Though Worth may make the costumes for the dolls, no one but Miss Jewell's mother, the famous Madame Jewell is skillful enough to design them. Miss Jewell was brought up with the manikins, her father having evolved the present day manikin with the old-fashioned marionette. GETTING THE FACTS. His Second Story Probably Differed From the First One. Long experience as a consulting attorney has given Mr. Mooney a judicial habit of mind. He never accepts the facts at par value, but always leads those facts into the rear office and drops acid in their eyes. The other day a friend rushed in, warm and red. "Mooney," said the friend excitedly, "I've been insulted. Hinks just met me and called me all sorts of names. We've had trouble over that partition matter, you know. He said I was a pettifogger and a thief and a scoundrel and a perjurer and a wire haired thug." "Urn." said Mr. Mooney. sitting farther down in his chair and looking at the speaker over his glasses. "Um! And what do you propose to do about it?" "What do I propose to do about it? Why. I was so astounded at the moment that I could make no reply at all. But. now that I have somewhat recovered myself. I have determined to go down to Hink's office and knock his block off. I'll beat him to a quivering froth." "Urn!" said Mr. Mooney, slipping down a notch. "Um! So would I if any one called me the names that Hinks called you. But before you go suppose you sit down with me for a moment." The indignant friend took a chair. "Now," said Mooney. dangling his eyeglasses, "what are the facts in the case?" Cincinnati Times-Star. What is perhaps the most extraordinary coal mine in the world may be found on a tiny island in the Japan sea near Nagasaki. This island has just sufficient room upon its surface for the shafts and the hoisting machinery. The workings, which are very extensive, reach out in all directions under the sea. Wide World Magazine.

The Theaters

MAY IRWIN. "May Irwin and a Few Others" should have been the title of the play which this accomplished comedian and her fine company presented at the Gennett last evening before a large audience. May Irwin is a dominating personality. On the stage or off. She can no more help centering interest and holding the middle of the stage than the sun can keep from shining. She is a superlative example of the success of the starring system. For she's a born star, not made. She is not the material out of which stars are manufactured. But the natural product out of which they spring. When you see May Irwin, hear her mellow laugh and feel the effect of her expansive and radiating smile you think that, after all, life is a pretty nice thing and that there are a lot of charming things in the world. The public is indebted to Miss Irwin for merely living and walking about on the stage where people can see and hear her. If you care to look at it that way, she performs a mission. As the kindergarten song says "she spreads sunshine on the way." In "She Knows Better Now," Miss Irwin has a vehicle for the exploitation of her peculiar histrionic gifts which might be excelled or even equalled but which is so satisfying, that to point out the play's lack would be a sort of ungraciousness and make one out a kind of critical "grouch." It is a fact, however, with a less consummate comedian than Miss Irwin to carry it through, the play would fall flat. For its plot is so tenuous, its action so notable in its absence, its atmosphere so thin, that only brilliant stellar qualities of a comedienne of Miss Irwin's genius could make it "carry over." It concerns the doings of the household of the Tompkins family, made up of Nicholas Tompkins, taken by Mr. Arthur Byron, and Mrs. Tompkins, played by May Irwin, of Jane a maid and Chesterton, a butler, these latter two impersonated by Katherine Keyes and Lionel Glenister. The action hinges on the quarrel the maid and the butler, engaged to be married, get into over her refusal to announce dinner in the manner and phrase dictated by the butler, who is English, tyrannical and obstinate, and with his country's traditions as to the subjection of women, firmly anchored. Guests, Mr. and Mrs. T. Gordon Sturtevant, taken by Miss Mary K. Taylor and Thomas F. Fallon, entering just after the maid had flounced otit and finding the butler in a state of agitation, were informed by the butler as to the state of affairs and after the exit of the latter, found themselves in a squabble over the right of the butler to insist and the maid to refuse, with the result that they repeated the quarrel with vigor and.while so engaged, were surprised by Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins. That the latter should also get into the same wrangle was the logical result of explanations and the first act finds Mrs. Tompkins departing for Europe and her husband taking up his abode at his club. Returning home Mrs. Tompkins is discovered unloading sundry objects of sartorial adornment smuggled through for her friends, and, in her attempt to evade the special officer detailed to compel her to disgorge, gives the piece de resistance of the play. Arthur Byron, seen here earlier in the delightful, if short-lived comedy "Thy Neighbor's Wife," made an admirable foil for Miss Irwin in the character of Tompkins. Byron, indeed, is one of the most diverting and skillful comedians on the American stage, and in the minor role he played last evening, was irresistibly funny and exquisitely amusing. Mr. Hugh Jeffrey took the part of "Dunbar", the special agent from the custom-house with what might be termed admirable histrionic control, resisting the easily-succunaed-to-temp-tation of caricaturing the role and confining it within its consistent limits. For this a theatrical "brava!" The smaller parts of a bogus German baron and a German maid were well cast in E. E. Howenwart and Muriel Hope. In the second act Miss Irwin delighted the audience, which recalled her again and again, with some of her inimitable songs, the occultness of her "comic spirit," being demonstrated in them, if possible, more illuminatingly than in the straight theatrics. Miss Irwin carries her own musical director and the program given under his supervision was an enjoyable feature of the entr'actes. The settings were effective and the whole production presented with eclat. Miss Irwin has not been in Richmond in several years. It is hoped the next interval will be brief. E. G. W. Few Hesitage.

Deafness Cured

When Caused by Catarrh If you have ringing noises in your ears, catarrh germs are making their way from the nose to the ears through the tubes. Many cases of deafness caused by catarrh have been cured by breathing HYOMEI. It reaches the inflamed membrane, heals the soreness and banishes catarrh, which is the cause of most deafness. F. C. Vanaman, a railroad conductor of Binghamton, N. Y., writes that he was cured of deafness after specialists had failed. . HYOMEI (pronounce it High-o-me) is guaranteed to cure catarrh, coughs, colds, asthma, croup, and sore throat, or money back. Complete outfit with inhaler $1.00. Extra bottles 50 cents. Sold by Leo H. Fihe, the enterprising pharmacist, and druggists everywhere. THE DEATH DICE. History of an Odd Gift of the Emperor of Germany. There is shown in the Hobenzolleri museum a gift of the emperor of Ger many, the "death dice," with which one of his ancestors decided a diffcult case in the seventeenth century. The history is an intersting one. A young girl had been murdered Suspicion fell upon two soldiers. Raipd and Alfred, who were suitors for her hand. Both the accused men denied their guilt, and even torture failed to extract a confession from either of them. Then Elector Frederick William decided to cut the knot by means the dice box. The two soldiers should throw for their lives and the lose should be executed as the murderer. The event was celebrated with great pomp and solemnity. Ralph had the first chance and threw sixes, the highest possible num ber. The dice box was then given to Alfred. He fell on his knees and prayed aloud: "Almipbty God, thou knowest I am innocent. Protect me. beseech thee:" Then he arose to his feet and threw the dice with such force that one of them broke. The whole one showed six, the broken one also gave six on the larger portion, and the fragment split off showed one. This was a total of thirteen, one beyond Ralph's throw. The audience held its breath in amazement. "God bus spoken." cried the prince Ralph, appalled by what he regarded as a sign from heaven, confessed his guilt and was sentenced to death. AN ALBATROSS IN FLIGHT. The Camera Caught a Motion the Eye Could Not Discern. An interesting application of photog raphy to settle a disputed point in natural history was made by a natu ralist on a vogue from British Colum bia to San Francisco. A large albatross had been follow ing the steamer and keeping pace with if for several hours, and the wonder grew among the watchers on board the ship as to how the bird was about to fly so swiftly while apparently keeping its wings extended without flapping them. As this is a common method of flight with the albatross, the explanation used to be offered that the bird took advantage of slight wind and air currents and was so able to glide upon what might be called at mospheric slopes. As the albatross sailed alongside the ship, about fifteen feet away, the nat uralist snapped his camera at it and obtained a photograph that astonished him and his fellow passengers. The photograph revealed, what no eye had caught the wings of the albatross, each some tive feet long, raised high above its back. in the act of making a downward stroke. The explanation naturally suggested was that more or less frequently the bird must have made a stroke of this kind with its wings, although the eye could not detect the motion, and that the camera chanced to be snapped at just the right moment.

Berne is surrounded by the blue green river Aare, and seven bridges cross into the picturesque suburbs: the view of the Alps is one of the finest to be had.

Bears have been kept on public exhibition in Berne since 1480 in commemoration of the killiug of one by the Duke of Zahringen on the site of the town. When the Guitar Arrived. The advent of the English guitar in the eighteenth century caused the disapperance of bandores, poliphants and similar wire strung instruments, or, rather, it supplanted them. for. owing to the use of fingers, the English guitar, though smaller, could be used for accompauyiug the voice as well as for solo performances. The instrument, which had a decorative appearance, is frequently depicted in the portraiture of the eighteenth century. It was made in various sizes, two of the smaller '"to be managed by young ladies from seven to ten years of age the other by ladies of ten and upward."

PULLING THE COURT'S LEG. A Practice the English Judge Did His Best to Discourage. The following remarkable judgment was delivered some years ago by a magistrate in one of the English colonies: "Pachua is hereby charged with having on the 11th of January followed the court on its rising and while said court was in the act of mounting into its buggy came from behind and, seizing the court's dangling leg. the other foot being on the step, forcibly pulled back the court, frightened the horse

and nearly caused an accident. The reason alleged for this by accused is that he wanted to hear the result of an application of his. The practice by petitioners of pulling the courts by the legs is one that should be discouraged. Accused only says he is a poor man, admitting the truth of the complaint. He is sentenced to one month's rigor ous imprisonment." Strange to relate, the lieutenant governor of the province on reading this sentence felt it necessary to intimate to the magistrate that neither the sentence itself nor the peculiar phraseology in which it was couched was calculated to meet with approval from minds running in legal grooves.
