Theatrical people aay that the public likes to be amused rather than Instructed, arxl that this accounts for the decline of the ’•legitimate'' drama and the rise and popularity of the vaudeville show, the “continuous performance," where all i* tinsel and ridiculousness and laughter. Apparently the Republican party means to try vaudeville in the campaign this year, and *ee |f R | ( as essy to gather votes with political Isugh-compeller* as the theatrical managers find it to gather dol lars with the funny men and women on the stage. The first Intimation of this purpose on the part of the Republican party was noted at the Philadelphia convention when the bosses, by a neat sleighNof-hand trick brought about the nomination for Vice President of a premier equestrian per former and expert with bowte knives, pis tols and guns; a man whom Buffalo Bill would no doubt like to have with his Wild West aggregation. This gentleman h,as lately been giving some very amusing per formance* in various parts of the coun try, and promises to continue to do so until the tlm<- of the election. lie has, by the way, lately added to hi* repertory the feat of ojenlr-g hi* mouth and putting his foot Into it. This does not please the man agers of the aggregation, but the Demo crats enjoy It. A second feature of the Republican show may be called the Mystic Maze of Mili tary in, over which Is the Italnhow of Im perialism. These are lectured on by many “barkers," who asaert that there is a way out of the maze, and that at the end of the rainbow there is a j>ot of gold. But they themselves do not know how to get through the maze, or how to secure the gold. Another feature that has Just been de termined upon, for us© In the West, Is Ihe “lady humorist and entertainer." Hhe will make* her appearance In California within a few days. It will be her business to appear at campaign- meetings- and tell humorous stories ami slug funny songs that have political bearing. Many of her stories will be in " ’coon" dialect, and a number of the songs will be “rag time." She will be expected, for the benefit of the ladle*, to bring In a few "human In terest” stories In the course of her act. Just how she will be able to make a pret ty romance turn upon how the old home si- ad was saved by the trusts, or how the good little boy that died placed his faith In the gold eianriard, does not appear. But she'll probably do It. The management, meanwhile, In open to engage other specialists In the enter taining line. A few lightning change ar tists, |o give demonstrations of quick transformations from "plain duty" to trust demand*, might tlnd employment with the great Hopubllean show. Hever.il llrri-rate contortionists, who could show that u stiff backbone Is not really needed In certain businesses, might also be found available. The Dead Hen Is to have a line of motor boat*. There Is a steam railway to Jeru salem, and a trolley line to the pyramids.

THB SWXIj ITITIOX Qt BSTIOV The Army and Navy Register, which Ife apparfrmly hostile to Port Royal as the site for the naval station, says: “It (the station at Port Royal) can b* converted into a valuable pitnt, but only by ex joeridin? a gr<-a4 deal of money.” Grant ing tha* to be true, would not the gum r>fee#ary to be expanded at Port Royal in ord*r to secure a “valuable plant" be less byglarge figures th.sn the sum it would be necessary to expend to secure an equally valuable plant “at or near the cftjr of Charleston?” At he latter place th*re would have to be a large amount of dredging before the big ships could get anywhere near the dock site; and then •here would be a dock to construct and numerous buildings and expensive water works to be erect'd, all of which are al ready at Port Royal. Asa matter of it would cost the government Mter afly millions of dollars to remove the sta tion to Charleston, whereas the prob abilities are that the Port Royal station could be “converted into a valuable plan ’ for a f*w hundreds of thousands. Th- - heme for tho removal, therefore, must be based upon some other ground than a desire to save money for the gov ernment. The Greenville News the other day said the removal was to be “for j>o litical and social reasons.” To these, of course, must be added the commercial reasons which are giving strength to Charleston’s push. I'HBUDUST H % HI’KH'M KXPF.HI- MrSiT. President Hflrper of lhe University of Chicago is going lo try t 6 live on food costing fifteen cents* a day for the space of two weeks. He will do this tn compli ment to Miss Katharine Davis, a young woman connected with the university, who advances the proposition that a person can get along on that sum per diem for food, and at the same time attend to busi ness. Dr. Harper will not guarantee that he will go through the fourteen 'days on the fifteen-eent limit, but he will stick to It for several days-long enough to make some sort of demonstration of Miss Davis’ theory. When the doctor begins his task he will be weighed, and when he cries out, "enough!” he will be weighed again. In view of all the facts In connection with this question of diet, It seems that Dr. Harper's experiment will resolve Itself into a demonstration of the effect cheap and wholesome food costing fifteen cents per day has upon a rotund and unc tions gentb man who has bee n accustomed to the best of all the good things the mar kets afford In the way of eatables. For there Is not any question res|>ertlng the possibility of a person subsisting, and even doing hard and regular work, upon food costing fifteen cents a day. Asa matter of fact there are many working people In this country who are living on less than that sum every day. On the turpentine plantations of Oeorgla, Florida and Ala bama, where the work Is very hard and where an abundance of muscle and "wind” are In imperative demand, the weekly ration for an adult “hand" con sists of five pounds of bacon and a peck of ctorn meal. At the country commis saries the bacon Is worth twelve and onc half cents a pounil and the meal twenty five cents a peek. That Is the normal food supply for the week of seven days, costing at retail eighty-seven and one half cents, or twelve and one-half cents a day; and the big and brawny turpentine worker finds It all sulHciont for the needs of the Inner man. In some Instances a pint of molasses, worth five cents at the country commissary, is added to the ra tion. It has he<n estimated by a writer on the subject that onc-thlrd of the people of England and two-thirds of the people of Scotland and Ireland live on less than twelve dents a day, while tn Asia and Af rica there are uncounted millions who live on two or three cents a day. It Isn’t fair to compare living In this country with liv ing In the latter countries, of cotirae; but It may he safely stated that there are mil lions of persons In the United States who live wtlhtn u flfteen-cent limit. They are to be found In the forests, the fields, the factories; In villages, towns and cities— Chicago Included. For a faintly of four th grocery bill for a month of thirty days, at fifteen cents each per day, would be *lB. Many a good housewife serves three wholesome, strengthening and palat able meals per day for lour persons at no greater coyt. Dr. Harrier's experiment, therefore, will oludUl.Ue no new principle In household or dietary economlos. It will not teach anything that was not known before, ard it wl 1 rot cause* ar.y :nd:vidua: to refrain from eating comity f.d if It ?an be af forded ard the dnrestioc will stared It. nor wiii it offer any ruggesttons to per aons who. from necessity a*e complied to l:ve or. fifteen cents or le- • per dem.

It snows that nearly ore-quarter of r he government's revenues ro to pay pensions arising from the war *hat came *0 an er>J thirty-five years ago and that *jr.re July 1, 1 US, tae total penelon pay osent* ora ioeotict of the War of fas amount*-d to more than two billions. c x hundred and twelve mllhor.s of dol lars c*r an average cf 171.<'\O0G per year. Ru>s;a maimairs a standing army of men, nevertheless oar pension list ha:- ced a sum amounting to 11 W.OOO than Russia's total military budget. Great Britain, which is almost constantly at war in some quarter of the globe, has a pension list amounting to about $9,(00,000 —a sum that 'hooks like thirty cents” alongside our pension list of about $140,- •/.W. Tr.e military budgets of Russia. France and Germany amount to about 22 per -ent of their revenues. Our pensions amount to 24 per cent, of our revenues, :n addition to which our military estab lishment costs many millions of dollars. Last year, it is calculated, pensions and mair.tenanee of army and navy cost the United States government 57S per cent, o? total revenues. That, of rmirse, in cludes the extraordinary expenses conse quent upon the war with Spain. Th* Standard Oil Company will shortly distribute its third quarterly dividend for th* current year. The outstanding stock which will participate in the distribution amount* to $97,500,000, and the dividend wiil be Pi per share. Thi, it is naid, rr. ik* a 2* per cent, in dividends which the stock holders will have receiver! for three-quar ters of the year. Mr. John D. Rockefel ler's share of the forthcoming distribution will amount to $2,566,000 —an income which cannot be called “princely,” since that cd- Jectlve falls short of expressing the magni tude of it; it will probably have to be des ignated a “irust-ly'’ income. This big div idend by the oil trust, by the way, fol lows the recent great and fire at Constable Hook, which wiped out sl,- 500,000 of the corporation’s property. The fire Joes, it is said, was deducted from the profits before the dividend was fixed. The Philadelphia city government Is onsidering a plan for supplying the City Hall with ice water, at a cost for the plant of probably $55,000. The apparatus, exclusive of labor, is to cost about $46,000. It is proposed to ice the water in the basement and convey it all over the building through pipe*. There ore to be eeven public drinking fountains on each of the seven floors, ut is a cold day in August when the politicians of Philadel phia cannot find an excuse for giving out a public contract. PBRSOHAL, —Mr?. Samuel Swartwood, wife of a railroad engineer living In Wllkesbarre, Pa., has just given birth to her twenty fifth baby, twenty of whom are living.

Hewitt of New York says that the world is built three times In a century. He says; "It is, of course, not to be expected that the 'sky scrapers' of to-day will be supplanted by others within the third of a century, hut the general advance in the world and the progress of civilization are of such a mag nitude that, broadly speaking, it is true, as I stated, that we rebuild the world about every thirty or thirty-five years. ' —From the improved fighting qualities of the Chinese soldier and his expert -use of artillery and small arms It Is evident that he has profited by the late war with Japan and taken lessons in the gentle art of shooting the head off from Euro pean instructors. It may be that after the Chinese trouble is settled the nations of Europe will think twice before allow ing their military officers to instruct tn war the savage and semi-savage people elsewhere. Cl It It EAT COMMENT. T'wler the caption, "A Bugle Call to Americans," the Charleston News and "Courier (Dem.) says of Mr. Bryan's speech: "The keynote of Mr. Bryans speech Is that the republic is in danger, that the liberties of the people are threat ened. that the few have already amassed great wealth, and the mighty trusts and corporations which are engaged In amass ing greater and greater fortunes, who re gard a dollar as more important than a life, have already obtained a strong hold on the government, and that Infix rialism Is but one of the methods they have adopted to strengthen their power, lo ob tain a great standing army, by which to control the masses of the people at home, who In heir opinion are like the Filipinos, In that they do not know how to govern themselves. If we would save our own teenies we must respect the liberties of dthers. We must not provide armies to subdue the Filipinos without reflecting that those same armies may be used to subdue us. Mr. Bryan, moreover, does not leave the Filtplno question up In the air. He does not say what we must not do, and leave to somebody else to suggest what we must do. He announces a clear and distinct policy which he will follow If elected." The 6t. Louis Globe-Democrat (Rep.) says: "North Carolina has yet to prove that It can disfranchise 80.000 voters and still claim the same representation In Con gress." To this the, Memphis Commercial- Appeul (Dem.) replies: "What then shall ho done to Massachusetts which has dis franchised fully 265,000 voters? Massachu cetts has tin educational qualification and the Australian ballot system. According to the census of 1800 there were 065,009 voters In that state. There were also 114.468 Illit erates. The total vote of 1896 was 401,568, which Is 265,000 less than the total popula tion, This enormous number of voters was of course disfranchised by the election laws of Massachusetts. That state would consequently lose 4u per cent, of Its repre sentation In Congress." The Columbia (8. C.) State (Dem.) says: “Charles A. Towtie honors himself by his declination, yet even more by the terms In which It Is expressed. There was and could have been no doubt that he wouldde cline, for he is a patriot and his heart Is In the success of Bryan.” The Atlanta Journal (Dem.) says: "Mr. Bryan has never made sn abler, more statesmanlike or more timely address to the country. It will add largely to hi reputation and will enhance greatly the prospect of hie election." Why Athletic* Beat Law. William Sro ?: of Pittsburg, who ha* been brought so prominently before the publK recently through being Mr. Car negle s lawyer ir. the famous “muhi-mil lionalrc-dodar controversy” between Frick and Camegl*. a*k*d one question too many the oher day. says the Saturday Evening Poet.

Stonewall Jackson s head quarters for special courier duty,” said Gapt. D , according to Harper’s, “and repairing thither found the General and staff in the saddle, ready to move to the front. I was ordered to follow; and the General, mounted on ‘Old Sorrel,’ pulled his cap visor down, and set off at a sharp eallop. with the rest of us at his heels. The army was in motion, and the road frequently so crowded with troops as to render it necessary for us to mak#> *1 detour to one side. As we were dashing through a field of oats. I observed a fat old farmer, with flaming countenance, making his way from his house to the roadside to intercept us* As we rode up. he opened the vials of Ids wrath and rated us roundly for a-rid in* through his cate. The General mildly replied that he re gretted the neceity for riding through •he field, but that the road was block*- 1 with soldiers, and It was important for us to reach the front. But old hayseed's dander was up. and he w'ould accept no apology; and declaring that ’ef old Stone wall himself were to ride through them oats’ he would report him. demanded the General’s name. ‘I am General Jackson,' was the reply. Not Stonewall!’ the old fellow, dubiously. ‘I am sometimes so called ’ "Well. General.’ said the far mer, his voice trembling with emotion. 'I had no idee t was you when I spoke rough like I did; an* I axes a thousand pardons; an’ I’ll take it a*- a partickler favor ef you’ll jess trample down all them oats ’ The General again expressed regret for the injury done, and pressed on. leav ing the persistent old eoul insisting that he should 'trample down all them oats.’ *' Why the Reporter Stayed. The d*a'h of Ballard Smith last week ‘‘alls to mind numerous stories bearing upon newspaper inc'dents and newspaper men during the period of his active work in this city, from 1876 to the middle nine ties, says the New York Commercial. While he was managing editor of the Sun he was asked one day by Amo? Cummings to find a place somewhere in the Sun out fit for his friend Murrey, who was am b tious to shine in the newspaper world, and was willing to start in on almost any sort of a job. Murrey wns none othfer than Thomas Murray, who later became widely known as an epicure, achieved rational farm as “Terrapn Tom.’’ author of several works on cook ng, and was for some years keeper of the House res taurant in the- Capitol building at Wash ington, largely through the influence of Congressman Cummings Smith subt-e tucntly had an opportunity to set Tom Murrey to work, and the lat ur appeared one fine Sunday morning for an assignment. It was during one of thos? spasmodic efforts to enforce the New York excise laws with reference to the Sunday closing of saloons, cafes and all such places, and, as Tom was known to have extensive acquaintance in the old Tender loin, he was assigned to that territory as a field of observation. “First,” were hi-? instructions from Managing Editor Smith, “you get a cor rect list of all the barrooms in your dis trict; then move about among them all day, ascertaining which are open and which are closed, ard what ones, if any, are selllrg on Ihe sly. Do the w'ork thor oughly now. Much depends upon it.” Tom got up into the Tenderloin as speed i y as possible, and start' and in on a sys tematic round of the “laboratories.” At 8 o'clock in the evening he hadn’t shown •ip in the Sun office, and the telephone was brought into active service to locate him—but with no results. And the paper finally went to press without any story from “Terrapin Tern." It was late Wednesday night when the missing reporter at last put in an appear an< e and presented himself at Ballard Smith’s desk. “Well.* said the editor in a tone that betrayed sharp irritation, “what have you got to say for yourself?” "Only this,” was “Terrapin’s” brief but significant reply: ‘ They were all wide open, but not selling—they were giving it away!” The Lion Vlnlt* the Barber. From Harp**!-’* Magazine. There was once a lordly lion with a most Imposing air, And his splendid head was covered with it tawny shock of hair; It was parted in lhe mi( H!*' and it hung on either side. And It Isn’t any wonder that It was the lion's pride. But Ms wife was very prosy; she was domineering, too, And she wild, "That artist’s mop of silky hair will never do. As the noble game of football does not fill you with delight; As you do not ploy piano at a concert every night; As you nevere painted pictures, and for acting do not rare— Why. you really have no business with that silly shock of hair." Now, (he lion, though a tighter, did not like domestic strife, And he’d found that to avoid It he must mind his little wife. 80, he answered very sweetly, "What you say Is always right, I will part with my adornment. If you wish, this very night; You're my only little wlfey; I obey at your behest; 1 will even shave my whiskers If you think It's for the best." She took him to the barber's, and the bar ber shouted "Next!" And the lion wus be-aproned, though he felt extremeely vexed. Then Ms wife said lo the barber, “Cut It close or even shorter; Why, In fact, take all the hair off that you care to for a quarter.” So the barber piled his scissors, and he cut with main and might. All VV> soon the Joh was finished, and the lion was a fright— First he looked Into the mirror, then he gave an awful roar!— And the barber and his scissors—they were never heard of more. —Charles Battell Loom!a The Quakers Are Honest People, §Tbe Quaker Herl Took is oot oeiy a blood purifier, but a Blood maker tor Pair.
