OLD SEA TRAGEDY

IS RECALLED HERE Old Residents Tell How Chas. Coffin Had Drunken Captain Discharged. The dreadful disaster of the White Star Liner Titanic, in mid-ocean, in whlijh 1601 lives were lost, brings to the minds of the older residents of this city the wreck and disappearance of the White Star Liner Atlantic, in 1873, and an incident in which a former local man, Charles Coffin, figured. As the story goes, Isaac Lamb, a railroad man known throughout all parts of the country and about that time a resident of this city, made a trip abroad. He returned on one of the Guyon and Williams ships on which Captain Green was the commanding officer. Green was an habitual drunkard, and on the trip Mr. Lamb found Captain Green in his quarters in an intoxicated condition. When Lamb returned to Richmond he was asked about his trip by Charles Coffin, who hai at that time reserved passage on the same ship on which Mr. Lamb returned, for a trip to Europe. Mr. Coffin was very much opposed to the use of liquor and when Lamb mentioned that the captain was a drunkard, he prevailed upon the former to make a written statement of the fact. When Mr. Coffin arrived at New York, he went directly to the offices of the Guyon and Williams, and requested that Green . be discharged, saying he would not sail on a steamer with a drunken captain. When presented with proof the company promptly released Green. Green then entered the service of the White Star line, and 'was subsequently given command of the Atlantic. A short time later when that vessel was crossing from England to New York City, it was wrecked off the coast of Novia Scotia, near where the Titanic was lost.

April 27th ay Students' play. Rlngling Circus. The most beautiful and dangerous aerial feat ever attempted is the Human Butterfly act, a dental suspension performance now being presented by the Ty-Bell sisters of France with Rlngling Brothers' circus. As a sensational spectacle it ranks first. This big circus is billed to exhibit in Richmond on Tuesday, May 7. The Human Butterfly act is a new creation and a striking aerial novelty. Holding by the teeth to slender steel cords, three Venus-like girls are drawn to the dome of the tent. By means of .intricate mechanism on the canvas roof of the tent they are enabled to dart, fly. and circle through space with the infinite grace of birds while multi-colored electric spot lights bathe them in floods of fantastic luminance. They are clothed in flowing robes of delicate gossamer-like silk, ' which, together with long wings of fine spun glass, give the spectacle an ethereal charm that is entrancing to beholders. Though the beauty and the sublime splendor of the performance are two . forceful features, the great danger and th daring of the performance are Woman Finally Recovers From Nervous Breakdown Impoverished nerves destroy many people before their time. Often before a sufferer realizes what the trouble is, he is on the verge of a ' complete nervous breakdown. It is of the utmost importance to keep your nervous system in good condition, as the nerves are the source of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna Kounz, an Mechanic St., Pueblo, Colo., says : "For many years I suffered from nervous prostration; I was unable to do any house work and doctors failed to help me. Remedies I tried from druggists did not do me a particle of good. A neighbor told my husband about Dr. Miles' Nervine and he procured a bottle. After the first few doses I showed a marked improvement and after taking two bottles I was entirely cured. I have been perfectly well for years and cannot praise ; Dr. ; Miles Nervine too highly." If you are troubled with loss of appetite, poor digestion, weakness, inability to slee?; if you are in a general run down condition and unable to bear your part of the daily grind of life, you need something to strengthen your -nerves. You may not realize what is the matter with you, but that is no reason why you should delay treatment. Dr. Miles' Nervine has proven its value in nervous disorders for thirty years, and merits a trial, no matter how many other remedies have failed to i.rlp you. Sold by all druQoitt.

Verify It

The Proof Is In Richmond Almost at Your Door. The public statement of a Richmond citizen is in itself strong proof for Richmond people, but confirmation strengthens the evidence. Here is a Richmond citizen that testified years ago that Doan's Kidney Pills relieved sick kidneys and now states the cure was permanent. Can any sufferer from kidney ills ask better proof? You can investigate. The case is right at home. Edgar S. Mote, mail carrier, 24 S. Twentieth St., Richmond. Ind., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills brought such good results in my case several years ago that I gave a public statement recommending them. For a longtime I suffered from backache and kidney trouble and the least cold settled in my kidneys, making my complaint worse. Hearing about. Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a supply at A. G. Luken & Co.'s Drug Store and their use completely cured me that I have had little trouble since. I will always hold Doan's Kidney Pills in high esteem." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo. New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name Doan's and takS no other. not for a moment lost sight of. It is a thriller of the most legitimate kind, inasmuch as it requires the strongest of nerves and a real heroism to accomplish it, not having to depend on exaggerated methods and the absolute protection of sure-fire machinery. There is real and not merely suggested danger in the act, which fact is evident on sight. This is the highest-priced aerial act ever imported, and not in any way similar to the common-place specialties of the past which are merely "iron-jaw" acts in. disguise. This is the great performance which electrified Europe last winter, presented by the identical three girls. It alone is a feature strong enough to insure success to any circus. But the management does not stop there. Every one of the 375 headliners is a past master in the arts of circus entertairiment. The big feature this year, and the most remarkable drawing card ever offered by any circus, is the newly added $500,000 wordless spectacle, "Joan of Arc," which begins the regular performance. It employs 1,200 persons, 600 horses and a trainload of special scenery. It is presented on the largest stage in the world, so big that all this assembfage of men, women and horses can remain upon it in the grand ensemble scene while 300 girls are dancing. This is something new for a circus to undertake. Its expense is such that only a big concern like the Ringling Brothers could attempt it. It has served - to ? increase the patronage of their show to such an extent that additional excursion trains are run to every town visited. As an attraction it is equal in interest to the circus itself. At The Murray. "Election Bets," the sketch by Geo. M. Cohan, which Hallen and Fuller are using for the last three days of this week is by all means the best comedy playlet seen here for many moons. It is full of good, clean comedy neatly "put over" by this company. Mr. Hallen as Mr. Plunger, the man who is willing to make any kind of a crazy bet on his favorite candidate, is a scream all the way through the sketch. The story deals with Mr. Plunger, who has made a number of election bets, being called upon to pay them after the defeat of his candidate. In order to perform all of these foolish capers without arousing the suspicions of his wife, he enlists the services of the friend with whom the bet is made to act in the capacity of a physician ordering his patient to perform the stunts, such as dining on bread and water, rolling a peanut along the floor, so that the patient might be cured of a dangerous ailment. All goes well, the wife sympathising with the poor sick husband, until Mr. Plunger is called upon by his political opponent to pay the last wager, wheeling his wife around the block in syjwheel barrow. Mr. Plunger is in the deepest dismay for the wife refuses to get into the wheelbarrow under any pretext, when he is seized by a bright idea, and coming into the room shooting in the air he frightens the lady into a faint, deliberately trundles her into the wheelbarrow and out the door and his last election bet is paid. An 'All Star Company. When one stops to consider the famous artists which . will be here when the Sheehan English Opera company gives its all star performance of Balfe's beautiful and melodious opera, "The Bohemian Girl," at the Gennett theater Thursday evening, April 25, it is little wonder that orders are pouring in from the entire neighborhood. We have paid the price of admission many times to hear one of these artists sing a few songs. . Therefore, to get the entire group of them together, in addition to what is said to be the finest chorus ever heard in English opera, and a magnificent production of the world's most popular opera is an event of a life time, and it will more than likely see the largest crowd that ever gathered in the Gennett theater. Free markets have been established in Montevideo, Uruguay, in the effort to reduce the high cost of living. In these markets the prices of foods are fixed by the municipal authorities. The in-door life, heavy foods of Winter are a strain on the blood and the digestive organs. That's why we need each Spring a thorough cleansing, purifying remedy like Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea.

TOOK HIM DOWN A NOTCH.

The Old Man Thought the Official Rated Himself Tee High. Professor Willis Moore, chief of tbfweather bureau, enjoys a joke on him self as well as when it is on the other fel'ow a;nl tells with new appreciation of on encounter he had with an urn brelia mender in a small town in I!!i nois. Having an hour to while awaj till train time, Mr. Moore strolled dowi the street and, passing a battered ant: seedy looking fellow mending umbrel las, stopped to chat with him. Thi talk turned on politics, and the old fei low proved to be ;m nrdent Bryanitc Quite a crowd collected as the discus nlon went on. and several times in the sallies and retorts that passed betweei j them Mr. Moore got tne lauga on tm umbreila mender. It wns a cold, raw day, "and suddeu ly," said Mr. Moore, "the thought cam; to me, 'Here am I. well clothed, wei fed, prosperous, making sport out o this poor old derelict for a lot of idU bystanders!' " And he began to think how he could square himself. Remem bering that there was a little rip In hU umbrella, be asked if it could be re paired. Without a word the man tooi it, threaded bis needle and, taking th; few necessary stitches, handed it back "How much?" asked Moore, knowin? that the job was worth not more thai a nickel. "Twenty-fire cents," replied the man looking him squarely in the eye. Smilingly Moor went Into his pocket and handed out the quarter, sayin? good humoredly: "You made a mistake, my man. You could have got 75 cents out of me as easily at 25." The umbrella mender silently looked him over from head to toe. then, shak ing his head and turning to the crowd impressively, said, "I'xs traveled from New York to San Francisco and from Mobile to Duluth, and I know a seveu-ty-five cent gent when I see him." Beat Him to It In one of the "dry" states a law evading boniface said to a thirsty guest: "I don't sell spirits, but I will giv you a glass of prime whisky, and then if you want a biscuit I will sell it tc you for 25 cents." The man was given a stiff glass drank it with evident appreciation oJ its quality, and the landlord then of fcred him a biscuit. "Well, no, I think not." said the guest, "you sell them too dear. I can get one at any baker's shop for a cent," and he walked away. Cheerful Information. In the olden days a semaphore was erected on Telegraph hill in San Francisco. It was used whenever a vessel appeared In the offing. One arm at "WHAT IS THIS? right angles indicated the coming of a sloop; one arm upright said that a schooner was secu; both arms at right angles was the signal for abrig; one arm at right angles and the other upright meant a full rigged ship, and both arms upright announced the approach of a side wheel steamer. They were playing a melodrama at the opera house. John McCullough was the hero. He rushed upon the stage with both arms upraised and exclaimed, "What is this?" Half a dozen gallery gods shouted in chorus, "Side wheel steamer.'" and McCullough's subsequent heroics produced derision from the audience. Los Angeles Times. Household Remedy Taken in the Spring for Years. Ralph Rust, Willis, Mich., writes: "Hood's Sarsaparilla has been a household remedy in our home as long as I can remember. I have taken it in the spring for several years. It has no equal for cleansing the blood and expelling the humors that accumulate during1 the winter. Being a farmer and exposed to bad weather, my system is often affected, and I often take Hood's Sarsaparilla with good results." Hood's Sarsaparilla is Peculiar to Itself. There is no "just as good.

For Liszt and Rubini. An article in an Italian review contains an interesting story of Liszt and Rubini, the ttmor. They were touring together and visited a town where, from the preliminaries which had been arranged, great things were expected. But they were disappointed, for when they entered the hall they found only fifty persons present. Ribini was furious and said he would not sing, but Liszt calmed him. "You must sing," he said. "This .small audi ence is evidently composed of musical connoisseurs of the town, so we should treat them with respect." Liszt set the example with a grand overture, and Rubini sang to perfection. Liszt gave another piece and then addressed the audience. Liszt as an orator was as tactful as he had been in the role of pacificator. Addressing his audience of fifty, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen" there was only one tad'y present "I think that you have had enough music. Allow me to ask you to take a little supper with us." After a few seconds the invitation was accepted, and Liszt and Rubini entertained the audience to supper" at their hotel, which cost them 1,200 francs. When the guests separated the hosts thought the affair had been a joke, about which nothing more would be heard, but they decided to give their concert as advertised on the following night. To their astonishment the hall was packed. There was not standing room. The whole town had turned out on the off chance of an invitation to supper.
