4 AMUSEMENTS. Orphetun last night. The scene of the hurricane at Apia and the wreck of the American and German squadrons, was again cheered to the echo and the cur tain called up five times on it, amidst a thunder of applause. It is far and away the most natural and effective storm scene we have ever seen in' stage work. The beautiful ferryboat illu sion was admirably worked also and was loudly cheered. The heavy part in "Under the Dome" Is borne by Guy Durral, well known In Sacramento, where he resided some time as a dra matic instructor. He is an excellent reader and fills the demands of the text in action and reading completely. Miss Cumington as the heroine of the play, is quite equal to the task imposed upon her. Mr. Sutherland, the whistler, and Miss Hunt the dancer, were greeted with the most generous and apprecia tive applause. The two are as clever specialists as one may wish to see. "Under the Dome" with its fine scenery and original and remarkable mechani cal effects will be given for the last time this evening. Reserving of seats for the Capital Concert Series entertainment of Fri day night will open at Pommer'e this morning for either season ticket hold ers or single ticket purchasers. PERSONAL MENTION.

These instruments are of such a deli cate nature that they have to be deliv ered' from station to station by hand to prevent them from becoming unservice able.

The fire alarm shortly after midnight last night was for a blaze in the lower story of a house adjoining the Sher man Riding Academy, at Sixth and P streets. The damage was slight. Frank J. Murphy, the hackman, was Deadly Cancer Cured at Last! Do Not Give Up in De spair—There is Hope! For ages it has been thought that Cancer is incurable, and those so unfortunate as to have this dreadful affliction have con sidered themselves beyond hope of recovery. The doctors are ab solutely unable to afford any re lief, and the poor sufferer might well consider himself ou the way to an early grave. It is now easy to see why the doctors have failed to cure Cancer. Their theories have been all wrong, and hence their treatment mis directed. They have made the mistake of thinking that by cut ting out the sore or ulcer, known as Cancer, the disease would be gotten rid of, and the patient re stored to health. But the cruel knife accomplishes nothing, for the Oancer promptly returns,and is always more virulent than before. It had been demonstrated, beyond doubt, tihat Cancer is a blood disease, and can- not be cured by the surgeon's knife because the blood can not be cut away. 4t tWeral years ago my wife had an ulcer on her tongue, which, though an noying, was not regarded seriously at first. It refused to heal and began to grow, giving her much pain. The doc tors treated it for quite a while but driving past the place and saw the fire soon after it had broken out in the corner of the house, close to the ground. He hitched his team and ran into the house. The lower story was found to be unoccupied, and Murphy hastened upstairs, where a man named William HiWman slept. The house was filled with smoke, and when Murphy reached Hillman's room the latter was well nigh suffocated, but was gotten out. In the meantime several firemen had reached the place and by the aid of a garden hose check ed the fire, and it was soon after ex tinguished. The neighbors believe the fire was the work of an incendiary. OFFICIAL BONDS. Those of Assessor Berhey and Sur veyor Boyd Filed. County Assessor-elect T. H. Berkey filed his official bond yesterday in the sum of $20,000. His surety is the Fi delity and Deposit Company of Mary land. Surveyor J. C. Boyd also filed his official bond yesterday in the sum of $5,000. His sureties are Fred- Mier and J. C. Pierson. BARRELS OF MONEY. Southern Pacific Company Fays the State $274,816.90. The Southern Pacific Company has paid into the State Treasury the first installment of taxes on its system in this State, amounting t<* $274,816.90.

A prominent State official recently visited one of the towns in the north ern part of the State and put up rvt a hotel that had the reputation of being first-class in every particular. But the servant of the State was not pleased with the arrangements. The soup was thin and cold, the beef was tough and stringy, and the vegetables were greasy and' indigestible. He picked for a few minutes and then pushed back his chair in disgust. The waiter, expecting a tip, fluttered around, and with his best scrape in quired: "Pie?" "Is it compulsory?" asked the dis gusted traveler. "Nope," confidently replied the waiter, "mince—want any?" Hotel Arrivals. Arrivals at the Golden Eagle Hotel yesterday: Ben Levy, I. Miller, J. A.

All Things Considered, It Was Abont the Best Way, Too. "Now, then, sir, I think w r e have a little business with each other. Sup pose we settle it right here." "I know what you mean. Say, look here! You and I are courting the same girl, and naturally we don't like each other. That's the trouble, isn't it?" "That's it, and we don't need to waste many words over it. either." "We won't. I would like to occupy your time Just about two minutes, how ever, and if we can't settle this thing without fighting, I'm your man, frorr a Cuban machete to a Philippine parang or any other old weapon belonging to either normal or to expanded America. Suppose you kill me. You couldn't marry the girl. Even if you escaped hanging it wouldn't do you any good. She would never look at you again. Suppose I kill you. I couldn't marry her, either. But you wouldn't get much satisfaction out of that. You wouldn't be in a position to do any crowing. Suppose we kill each other. If the girl cares for either of us it would break her heart. So what's the good of fighting? Why not arbitrate the case?" "Arbitrate it?" "Yes. It's a toss-up, anyhow. One of us stands as good a show as the other, and it wouldn't muss things up as a fight with deadly weapons would. We can state our case and leave the de cision to the arbitrator." "But, great Scott! Whom could we get to do the arbitrating?" "Suppose we leave it to the girl her self?" "All right. I hadn't thought of that." —Chicago Tribune. The Pleasures of Imagination. A Denver woman sat listening to a crowd of women talking at the politi cal club meeting, says the "Times." They were all telling about some can didate who had such a vast sum of money and how good he was to his family and the people generally. They noticed that she sobbed. "What is the matter with you, Mrs. —— ?" asked one of the delegates. "Oh, I was Just thinking about how nice it would be to be his widow." Try McMorry's 45c tea. 531 M. ■ PRESENT DAY THOUGHTS. G. Grosvenor Dawe Our New Sway.—Have you ever met a youth who was able to thoroughly round out his whole course of prepara tion before being thrust into duty? He is a rare creature. There comes to most of us a forcing: out into wider work while some loose end 6 hang around what we are still doing. Nature seems to have little patience with those who are destined to do something more than the present task, and she often brushes aside the preparation and announces that the new duti- will be its own teacher, and a more practical teacher than endless preliminary work would be. It is somewhat like learning to swim—five minutes in actual water is more than five hours of swinging the hands and of frog-legging theoretically. * * * None can dare say that our hundred and twenty-five years of life as a na tion have enabled' us to facet all our problems and get our work-table clear ed and clean for the reception of a wid er task. We have not yet so much as settled in equity our duty to the red man: we have nowhere near learned what we meant by claiming for all life, liberty and the pursuit of happi ness—we grant still liberty for hands to remain idle that would like to work, liberty for life to be a living death of gradual starvation, liberty for vice to flourish while virtue goes empty away; we have not yet assimilated the diverse elements that have fed* our national life, and we have here, there and yonder fester spots of opposition to our Gov ernment and its ideals; we have not yet taught the men that we freed to be worthy of all that their freedom meant nor have we yet come to understand how the two races—both equally en titled to residence here—can dwell side by side in accord; we have not yet risen in our might to rebuke selfish legisla tion or still more selfish and unpatriotic bosses. A moment's review shows us there fore much of preparation and cleansing that ought to have been done before.we went forth into the outer world to im press upon it some of our ideals and methods. It is pardonable regret when we look back upon the things undone; it is likewise no weakness for us toi take a very serious view of the responsibili ties that the sudden acquisition of co lonial possessions will involve. see. It will rest upon us to maintain in sight of the world good order among those who have hitherto been strangers to us. No favoring eyes, save of those who speak our tongue, will rest upon us. No condoning difficulties will be taken as an excuse for mismanage ment. The success or failure of Ameri can civilization and the ideals it stands for, will be estimated by success or failure in impressing that civilization and those ideals upon millions that have lived in the utter blackness of darkness, where no liberty was. At the very outset we shall be compelled to deny to millions whom we shall gov ern the ballot that has hitherto been the palladium of our liberties and the medium for voicing our will. We shall have under our protection as a weak but actual portion of ourselves millions of savages and semi-savages who are absolutely ignorant of what human aspiration and human freedom mean, Within the limits of our domain will swarm by myriads these who can scarcely tell their risht hands from their left and whose minds are sunk in the lethargy of idolatry or the confus ion of superstition. They will be help less to compete with our nineteenth cen tury intelligence and yet the weakest among them will be entitled to safe guard from oppression and a-rong and injustice—social, commercial and pel it- * * * Further than all this—as though it were not enough to make us shrink into humility—our relations with all the governments of the w T orld will be come increasingly sensitive. We are no longer U> be regarded as an Ameri can Power but a world power; and that will cause international Jealousies and suspicions over our every act; for fear that we disturb the nice adjust ments of the international balances. * * * Over against all the fearful and ex acting talk that lies before us, what shall we set of encroachment? The brains of those who think and the hearts of those who love even our measure of human liberty, thrill with belief in our destiny. Cradled in re moteness, tended by those who choose exile for freedom's sake, nurtured by devout and devoted men heads were endangered by the pledge of their hands, sustained and maintained through trials from without and almost volcanic disruptions from within, it is not for naught that our great branch of the race that loves human freedom has been brought thus far. We believe that our light is not now to be set on a hill in order to go out with greater humiliation, because of the awakening sense that we are as never before the observed of all observers. * * * The very facing of the unavoidable gives courage.

When the great mass of the nation's heart pulsates with the feeling that a greater test of American capacity is upon us than any to which we have been hitherto subjected, that future generations may rise to de nounce weakness and ineffectiveness, should it be shown—then there will be a movement among us that shall pre pare the great burden-bearers of the new testing. We know—we do not guess—that great times produce great men; just as the needs of a hive produce a queen bee. The men do not always rise from the group that we expect. Our own selection would be quite at variance with the men who step forward; but they appear, and that is the chief point. Would you have selected a surveyop of forest land a gentleman farmer who broached his liquor for his farm hands. Just like the rest of them, a Colonel of militia, to bear in his hands the pre cious casket of American liberty and to be sponsor for a country whose rapid development has been unexcelled in the history of the world? Nay; I know you would not. Would you have pos sessed insight sufficient to see beneath the uncouth figure of a horny-handed rail-splitter, whose very attempt to wear the pot-hat of civilization made him look still more peculiar, and to dis cover in him.the poise of character that made him strong to execute a terrible task, prompt to forgive, and anxious to be just? Nay, you know you would not. * * * Let not a shadow of doubt be in our m'indis, though we have incomolete tasks at home, that the wisdom will be lacking for the task abroad. The very width of our new task will make us all think more and more wisely and 1 there fore react upon home conditions. Evidence of Affection. Geraldine —You have been sick, haven't you? Gerald—Yes.

Bell, a highly esteemed minister residing in Weedsport, Cay uga Co., New York, in a recent letter write® as follows: "There has never been anything that I have taken that ha® relieved the Dyspepsia from whicn I have suffered for ten years except the new remedy called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Since taking them I have hai no distress at all after eating and again after long years can sleep well. Rev. F. 1. Bell, Weedsport, N. V.. formerly, Idalia, Col. s ' Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a re markable remedy, not only because it is a certain cure for all forms of indi gestion, but because it seems to act as thoroughly in old chronic cases of dys pepsia as well as in, mild attacks of in digestion or biliousness. A person has dyspepsia simply because the stomach is overworked, all it wants is a harm less, vegetable remedy to digest the food and thus give it the much needed rest. This is the secret of the success of this peculiar remedy. No matter how weak or how much disordered the di gestion may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not. New life and energy is given not only to the stomach but to every organ and nerve in the body. A trial of this splendid medicine will convince the most skep tical that dyspepsia and l all stomach troubles can be cured. The tablets are prepared by the F. A. Stuart Co., of Marshall, Mich., but so popular has the remedy become that Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets can now be obtained at any drug store for 50 cents per pack age.
