CITY BEAUTIFUL
THE GOAL SOUGHT V Mrs. Stephens Explains the Object of "Cleaning Up Day" in the City. BY MRS. F. W. 8TEPHENS. Our city haa had four annual "Clean ing Daya-" The Aftermath is proposing to conduct the movement again this year 'along educational lines. Civic lart has become of national Importance. pt Is more -widely recognized than in lany former period of history. There is everywhere an eager race for beauty, fa prevalence of a clean-up epidemic. The demand for more harmony and V ... I. I J Ll.b.. ...1.... of a quickening of aesthetic sensibliijties. ( Improvement work is one of the happiest thoughts of the day. and it lies lln the people themselves to say to jwhat extent this improvement work 'hall go on. Property owners can not long afford unsightly surroundings. The day is jpast when an occasional "sweet will" Idecides whether weeds or flowers shall grow over the premises and sidewalks and whether the principal ornaments of the rear yard shall be tin jeans. The wiser heads have discovered that the "city beautiful" is a business necessity, a must-be, if it would attract 'worthy citizens. Richmond is becoming to be what iwe have every reason to expect it .should be. We have the right to a fulj Ailment of a vision for it, clean, heal- ' thy, beautiful, well governed. The leading organizations of the city i are endorsing "Cleaning Day." The Commercial club and the WestSide Improvement Association are making donations for the "day." The South Side Association has signified its Intention to take up the matter at their next meeting. There is assurance of co-operation on every hand. People are proffering their advice and services, which are both acceptable and encouraging. The Aftermath will endeavor to carry out the thought of the executive department of the city. They believe that Junior League would be the means of accomplishing the most widespread interest. Accordingly the schools of the city are being visited this afternoon to see If such organizations can not be effected. .The results will be published in tomorrowte issue. Junior Leaguers to be successful must receive the co-operation of all public spirited men and women. Boys and girls may be Instilled with civic pride, may be taught to feel a sort of personal possession in relation to the city to love it and work for its highest citizenship. An example indeed for elders. They are very effective in work of this kind and learn not only to "clean up", but to scatter less rubbish for future "clean-ups." So the Interest of the children will be sought, believing that their enthusiasm win overcome, the apathy of more mature years. . ' This is the time when every one, old and young, takes a blood purifier, blood regulator, stomach cleanser. Kollister's Rocky Mountain Tea has given thousands of people marvelous results; it will you. Try it this Spring without fail. 35c, Tea or Tabs. A. O. Luken. The Oil Bird. One of the animal curiosities of South America Is the "oil bird," or guacharo. It breeds in rocky caves, and one of its favorite haunts is the island of Trinidad. It lays its eggs in a nest made of mud, and the young birds are prodigiously fat. The natives melt the fat down in clay pots and produce from it a kind of butter. The caves inhabited by the birds are usually accessible only from the sea, and the hunting of them is sometimes an exciting sport. THANKSGIVING PSALM. A Rythmical and Grateful 'Chant. A teacher in a Terre Haute pubic school joins in the chorus: "Teaching is a business which requires a great deal of brain and nerve force. Unless this force is renewed as fast as expended, the teacher is exhausted before the close of the year. Many resort to stimulating tonics for relief. "For 3 years I struggled against almost complete . exhaustion, getting what relief I could from doctors' tonics. Then in the spring of 1903 I had an attack of la grippe and malaria, which left me too weak to continue my work. Medicine failed to give me any relief, a change of climate failed. I thought I should never be able to go back to school again. "I ate enough food, (the ordinary meals white bread, vegetables, etc.) but was hungry after meals. "I happened at this time to read an article giving the experience of another teacher who had been helped ty Grape-Nuts food. I decided to try i Grape-Nuts and cream, as an experiment. It was a delightful experience, and continues so after a year and a half of constant use. "First, I noticed that I was not jbungry after meals. "In a few days that tired feeling left me, and I felt fresh and bright, 'instead of dull and sleepy. "In three months, more than my usjual strength returned, and I had gaintd 15 pounds in weight. V'l finished the year's work without jny kind of tonics was not absent j from duty even half a day. "Am still in the best of health, with jail who know me wondering at the Improvement I tell them all, Try Grape-Nuts!' Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason." 1 Ever read the above letter? A new .en appear from time to time. They lure genuine, true, and full of human pHUraat.

John Bunny, the fat and humorous comedian appears in the latter picture. At The Murray. One of the best Dills and at the same time one of the best patronized bills of the season is the one now playing at the Murray. Pearl Bros, and Burns, the headliners, are without a doubt the biggest laugh producers of anything seen here for months, the act starting with a laugh and ending with a scream; As a German comedian the one Mr. Burns is there while the other brothers knows how to feed a comedian. All three are good singers, special mention must be made of Mr. Burns who sings in 'a high falsetto voice. Elizabeth Otto, the piano girl a good looking, well groomed young lady is one of the best acts on the bill. Miss Otto sings several catchy numbers which she "put over" as only she can. As a pianist Miss Otto is one of the best, and is perfectly at home with either classical or rag time music. The Laurent Trio, have some original stunts in their line. Much strength and agility is shown in the act. Sans and Sans, the fashion plate girls more than live up to their billing, many beautiful costumes being worn by them, and all up to date and perfect in every detail. The young ladies have good voices and use them to the best advantage. "Bohemian Girl." No opera of modern times has proven as popular as Balfe's "Bohemian Girl." In spite of the fact that it has been hacked to pieces by cheap companies Its popularity Increases year after year. Such favorites as "I Dreampt I Dwelt In Marble Halls," "Then You'll Remember Me," "The Heart Bowed Down," and dozens of others will live as long as music exists. And when this delightful opera is sung by such a company of artists as compromise the Sheehan Opera Company, these numbers take on a new beauty. The full charm of exquisite Balfe score is brought out to the fullest extent and the result is a performance which is adding new laurels, as well as to the excellent company which is presenting it. The Sheehan English Opera Company, will be heard at the Gennett Theater, Thursday, April 25, and it will be a welcome treat to hear Mr. Sheehan, who is acknowledged by press and public to be America's greatest tenor, sing "Then You'll Remember Me." To hear Miss Gladys Caldwefl. the famous prima donna of this organization sing "I Dreampt I Dwelt In Marble Halls" will be a treat which will long live in the memory of all who hear it. To hear the splendid baritone of Charles Swickard, sing "The Heart" Bowed Down" will also prove an additional charm. Attention! Lots of Fun! There will be a mock trial at the Golden Eagle hall, corner of 6th and Main streets on Thursday evening, April 25th.

YOU ARE CLASSIFIED
Nothing So Surely Indicates Your Social Origin and Your Intellectual Status Nor Yet Your Moral Plans. The Drama League.
BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Several months ago an article appeared in this column concerning the Drama League of America. Since that time some interest has been manifested in the work of this organization and a meeting has been arranged for Wednesday.May 1st, at seven o'clock in the evening in the lecture-room of the Morrisson-Reeves Library, to which every-one interested is invited. The object of the Drama League, as heretofore stated, is to encourage an attendance on good plays, thus stimulating their production, and the study of the drama. There is nothing that classifies so surely as the quality of humour. People may be fooled about you for a time but when you get funny then is the crucial moment in your career. You can be, by the discriminating, at once ticketed, docketed, tagged and thrown into the topmost pigeon-hole. You will be relegated to the limbo or welcomed into the innermost sanctuary in accordance with the standard established by yourself at this momentous instant. Birth is Indicated by humour. Breeding, or its lack. Culture, or Its absence. Intelligence or stupidity. Morajs are seen through its veil and temperament viewed from Its basis. Personality is enhanced or made to shrink through its manifestation. States have been swayed by its use. Empires changed by its abuse. It has made or marred lives. Has swung the balance on the pivot of reputation. Is one of the governing forces of human Intercourse. A difference in tastes of humour has, perhaps, been the cause of more domestic infelicity than can be credited to any other account. Haven't ydu seen the strained expression in the faces of some wife when her husband begins to tell a funny story? The agony endured by other mem bers of the family when mother or father gets facetious? The lip biting and hand twisting of a husband the while his wife relates an alleged humorous Incident? Haven't you known women of deli cate perceptions shocked and repelled every day of their lives by the brand of humour indulged in by their husbands? And men of fastidious taste continually disgusted by the coarse Jokes of their wives? On the other hand how well two vul garians get on. How they howl and shriek and backslap and yell with Joy over each other's witticisms? Where other than at the theater do people so expose the mainsprings of their souls? It is there your quality of humour is dragged forth from its lair and held up for Inspection from pit to dome. The moralist and the aesthete alike will shudder. The frightful spectacle of the audience which attended "Mutt and Jeff" was animadverted on at length here at the time of the appearance of this classic in Richmond. The lover of the drama grew pale. And the aesthete retired to cover. When the heroes of this performancefor you can call it nothing else appeared, the shriek, the howl of Joy that went up this side of the footlights was comparable to nothing more than that which greets favorite matadors upon their entrance in the ring ready to charge the maddened bull. It was a tribute to the comic supplement. is the force that keeps the nerves well poised and controls, firm, strong muscles.

BY YOUR HUMOUR
For the latter has done more to debase the taste of the public than any other agency. Its humour is grotesque. It puts life out of focus. It exagerates personality. It ridicules sentiment. And kills refined Instinct. Its most deplorable aspect is its art. For the comic supplement artist is an artist, ten to one. A student from art schools. Learning the priciples of art from masters and applying them to the production of all that Is hideous and horrible. Nothing is quite as bad as a bad thing done well. And, paradoxically enough to this must be accredited the overwhelming success of the "funny sheets." As hideous as they are aesthetically, they are drawn with, usually, consummate art. Every line is made to tell. Points a story. Shrieks its tale. And the comic supplement taste is reflected in the vaudeville houses. What is it gets the loudest ensemble laughs? Almost invariably the coarse Joke or the suggestive attitude. In a very good play seen this winter the greatest hit was made when one of those traditional spinsters of the stage never seen in "real life" pulled up her skirts in front and ran across the stage. She saw that she had made a distinct impression. Therefore repeated it. And every time with added approval from the audience. In this play were some really humorous situations. Bu they were passed over with a yawn. The mire at the bottom of the human mind is appalling. It is mostly covered up by a fair seeming. But now and then it rears Its ugly head and grins hideously through the medium of some human quality. And more frequently than otherwise through what is termed humour. The Gentleman, the Lady, is known by the quality of humour. This is indubitable. Certain. Fixed. Sure. Nothing shows breeding, or lack of it, sooner. Noth'ing so glaringly exposes your social origin. There is a certain line beyond which the Lady or the Gentleman never goes. And in his expression of his sense of humour this line is formed. NOTICE!

HE STOPPED SHORT, Reason For the Peculiar Signature en the Hotel Register. Many peculiar signatures in the course of a season find themselves upon the register of a hotel. There are foreign fists of all sorts in script that none but the Kytka could unravel. The most curious of all. however, was placed on the book only recently. It i3 this: "Wm." Only that and nothing more! There is no surname, no address, nothing at all but just Wm. This is the way tt happened: A well dressed man entered the hotel the other day and followed his bags to the desk. The register was swung around Into position for him and a pen handed him by the gentlemanly desk clerk. Then, in a free, swinging hand, he wrote the accepted abbreviation of his first name. "Wm" As if a thought had suddenly occurred to Aim. he stopped writing and looked up. "What do you charge for a single room here by the day?" he asked. "Three, four, five and six dollars." answered the clerk. "Ain't you got no dollar rooms?" "No. we have no dollar rooms.
Three, four, five and six." "Gosh!" he said, and he didn't look the part either. "This la no place for me. Gimme my luggage. And he sneaked out of the hotel as one who had trodden on sacred ground. Which is why on the register today is the odd signature: "Wm." San Francisco Chronicle. Loss of Appetite Which Is so common In the spring er upon the return of warm weather.
