NO PROFITS.
Stormy Sleeting of Members of the
Comedy Francaise.
New York, Dec 31. The annual general
meeting of the members of the Corned io
Francaise, Just held, was a rather stormy
one. according to a Paris cable to the
Herald.
The financial report drawn up by M.
Silvian contains sharp attacks on the
financial management of M. Claretie.
which is declared to be deplorable and
ruinous for the company.
A lively discussion! followed between M.
Claretie and several members. M. Cla
retie defended himself, mentioning certain
expanses for furnishing and particularly
thr.nsiderable outlav for the staging of
"Patrie," which cost 140.000 francs (J28.00U)
for scenery and costumes. This outlay
was compensated for by the splendid re
ceipts from Sardou's drama, but there
were no profits. Ultimately the members
consented to sign the new budget of two
million francs for the year 1902 on condi
tion that M. Claretie formally undertakes
not to exceed it without the company's
authorization. The members have not,
however, approved the accounts for 190L
Card of Thanks.
We desire to extend our thanks to our
friends and neighbors, who so kindly
assisted us during the illness and death
f our beloved husband and father; also
for the beautiful floral offerings.

LADDEROF FAME.
One Plamondons Use Is Not
Exactly That Kind.
Topeka Hen Engaged to Appear
at Midwinter Exposition.
THEY ARE IN DEMAND.
Hare Signed Contract For
Three Years With Uingling. .
Now Playing an Engagement in
YaudeYille.
Arthur S. Kane, commissioner of
amusements of the Kansas Midwinter
exposition, announces the engagement
vof Charles and Louis Plamondon, re
volving ladder artists, as one of the
features for the entertainment of the
patrons of the exposition.
The Plamondons are at the head in
their profession. Moreover, they are
Topeka boys and their home is at 1114
Quincy street. -
For three years the brothers have
been doing their turn daily with the
Ringling Bros.' circus, and they were
seen in their startling and comio act
here last season by from fifteen to
twenty thousand people. ' Many of
those who witnessed the performance
did not know that the two brilliant per
formers were Topeka boys, and that
they spent as much time as possible
each year at their home here.
Not much time is given them for
leisure, however. But every opportunity
is quickly taken advantage of. An in
cident in this connection serves to il
lustrate. At the close of the last circus
season, Charles, who attends to the
business matters, made arrangements to
go to Paris for a number of weeks' en
gagement this winter. Louis agreed to
the plans at first, but as the time drew
near for them to cross the ocean he be
gan to waver and finally absolutely re
fused to go. Instead he came home to
Topeka. His brother looked around for
a time in an effort to secure some one
who could go on with their act, but
found only one man who could sub
stitute. He, however, did not want to
cross the ocean, and consequently the
Plamondon brothers are doing turns
over the vaudeville circuits on this side
this winter.
Their first contract with the Ringling
circus was for three years. This con
tract has been renewed for an addi
tional three years.
Theirs is a difficult act. Dressed as
clowns, one as a Chinaman and the
other as a Dutchman, they perform all
sorts of antics on rings suspended from
one end of a revolving ladder in mid
air and a trapeze from the other end.
They were among the organizers of
the famous Puff club of the Ringling
circus, a club somewhat exclusive, to
which only the actor-folk of t?; organi
zation belong.
Today they begin an engagement at
Omaha, lasting until January 18.
Following the Omaha engagement
they come to Topeka to play at the
Midwinter exposition on the opening

Miss Portia Knight, the beautiful California actress, who is suing the Duke

obtaining any financial balm for her lacerated feelings, even if her eminent

January 20-22 and January 28-30.
They next play a two weeks' engage

beginning February 21. A week's en

closes their winter's work. They report
to Rlnglings at Chicago on April 1 for
next season's circus work.
They are advertised to appear under
the names of Plamondon and Amando.
75 LAW SUITS.
Wiped Out by a Consol!t!ition of Con-
flicting Interests.
Denver, Dec 31. Final' details have
been arranged for the organisation of
the United Rico Mines company with
$3,600,000 capital, which will absorb the
Enterprise, Rico, Aspen and all the
other principal mines, mills and smelt
ers in the Rico, Colo., district The
total acreage included in the consolida
tion is over 1,000. The company is a
close corporation, and the amount of
capitalization represents practically
the market value of the properties in
volved with the addition of a sum of
cash paid into the treasury by the va
rious interests for development. The
majority'of the mines are silver prop
erties. The following are "directors:
David H. Moffatt, Albert B. Roeder
and Walter Beall of Denver; Joseph L.
Caven of the National Trust company
of Philadelphia; William N. Coler, New
York; Wm. M. McKelvy, Wm. Conway
and James H. Lockhart, Pittsburg, Pa.,

Kelvey is president, Mr. Newhouse vice
president. Mr. Moffatt second vice pres
ident, Mr. Roeder secretary and treas
urer and Messrs. Newhouse, Beall and
Roeder the executive committee.
As a result of the consolidation 75
suits involving various mining points
in dispute between the various interests
in the consolidation were today dis
missed, in the f ederr ! court.
CHARGES AGAINST MOOBE.
Former Weather Service Man Has
Trouble With the Chief.
Washington, Dec SI. Former . Fore
caster Dunn at New York has written
a letter to Secretary Wilson making
charges against Prof. Willis L. Moore,
chief of the weather bureau. Mr. Dunn
resigned from the weather service dur
ing the Spanish-American war, and
since then has made repeated efforts
toward reinstatement in it. Mr. Moore
has as repeatedly, declined to recom
mend Mr. Dunn's reinstatement, be
cause Mr. Dunn did not proceed to the
West Indies during the Spanish war,
and therefore Mr. Moore declares he
(Dunn) has no claim for reinstatement
now. The charges which Mr. Dunn has
made, the latest of which have come to
hand very recently, Mr. Moore said,
were all based upon his refusal to rec
ommend Mr. Dunn's reinstatement.

New York, Dec. 31. A special to the
Herald from Philadelphia says that
Mme. Sybil Sanderson has just an
nounced her engagement to Comte
Henri de Fitzjames. The ceremony will
take place In Paris some time late In
January. Comte Henri de Fitzjames is
an officer of cavalry in the French ter
ritorial army. He is a son of Edouard

POLICE JOTTINGS.
Court Opened With Case of
Joseph Etzel.
It Also Closed With the Same
Small Business.
WENT OVER THE ROAD.
Sheriff Cook Departs With Con
tribution to Penitentiary. '
Erents of a Day With Topeka
Peace Guardians.
HE police court
business on hand
this morning con
sisted of the dis
position of one
small case where
in a youth named
Joe Etzel and a
colored ditto, mix
ed things, and the
colored youth
whose name was
Floyd Phillips, got
the worst of the
encou nter. Etzel
was arrested last
night and gave
hfmH The rtnlored
boy came around
to testify this morning, and found that
toe had made a serious mistake. It
seems that Etzel was leaving Frisbee's
chili house on Fourth street, and en
countered Phillips who jostled the cargo
of empty beer bottles carried by the
white boy, and received a punch in the
optic which Jarred him some. The offi
cer, Parcells, closed the deal by arrest
ing Etzel. In passing on this momen
tous case the court decided that $5
each was the popular price. "Gee, but
that's a crusher," declared Etzel. "Is
it?" ralldly asked the court. "Well, I
will just make it seven, I don't think
that will be such a crusher." Phillips
discreetly kept his face closed, and got
off with the original fine. This was the
only case tried. Police business has
taken a serious slump. The year is in
a fair way to close Quietly, and unless
something is started tonight, there will
be no session tomorrow.
After this one small case was dis
posed of, the congregation gathered
around the official desk and listened to
an able discourse by tfle court, entitled,
"Poker Games I Have Met." The sub
ject was brought up by the chief, who
exhibited some of the spoils of war cap
tured by himself and associates on re
cent raids.
Sheriff Cook and Humane Officer
King took a trip to Lansing this morn
ing with a choice assortment of peni
tentiary candidates. The collection con
sisted of Amos Brubaker, who is sched
uled to remain five years for assisting
to steal 16 hogs from A. Deitrleh; Mer
ril Ottery, who burglarized D. Cap
land's pawn shop, seven years; Lil.wife
of the late lamented "Pie" Jordan, who
got a home for two years by attempting
to burn down the city jail while im
prisoned there for petit larceny; Wm.
Plue. who stole the clothes of a room
mate and departed for foreign parts,
one year of stripes; Walter Roberts,
burglary and larceny, two years. He
collected about $50 from the store of
H. Dolman in North Topeka, and Bever
ly Payne, who broke into a car of gro
ceries, the property of the Symms Gro
cery Co., finishes the list with two
years.
John North, the negro who forged the
name of Mrs. Charles Blood Smith to
an order for groceries, entered a plea
of guilty when arraigned in the city
court this morning, and received a fine
of $25 and costs, amounting to $19.40
more. Being unable to meet the fine
with a cash consideration, he will make
good by spending 44 days on the county
rock pile.

Does Not Disappoint
The New Discovery for Catarrh Seems
to Possess Remarkable Merit
A new catarrh cure has recently ap
peared which so far as tested has been
remarkably successful in curing all
forms of catarrh, whether in the head.
throat, bronchial tubes, or in stotnacM
and liver.
The remedy is in tablet form, pleas,
ant and convenient to take and no spec
ial secrecy is maintained as to what
it contains, the tablet being a sclentiliu
combination of Blood root. Red gum,
and similar valuable and harmless an
tiseptics. The safe and effective catarrh euro
may be found at any drug store undea
the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
Whether the catarrh is located in thi
nose, throat, bronchial tubes, or stom
ach, the tablets seem to art with equal
success, removing the stuffy feeling ir
head and nose, clearing the mucous
membrane of throat and trachea from
catarrhal secretions, which cause the
tickling, coughing, hawking and gau
ging so annoying to every catarrh suf
ferer. Nasal catarrh generally leads to ul
ceration, in some cases to such an ex
tent as to destroy the nose entirely an4
in many old cases of catarrh the bones'
of the head become diseased. Nasal ca
tarrh gradually extends to the throat
and bronchial tubes and very often to
the stomach, causing that very obsti
nate trouble, catarrh of the stomach.
Catarrh is a systemic poison, inher
ent In the blood, and local washes,
douches, salves, inhalers and sprays can
have no effect on the real cause of the
disease. An internal remedy which act
upon the blood is the only rational
treatment and Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets is the safest of all internal reme
dies, as well as the most convenient
and satisfactory from a medical stand
point. Dr. Eaton recently stated that he hal
successfully used Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets in old chronic cases, even where
ulceration had extended so far as to
destroy the septum of the nose. Hi
says, "I am pleasantly surprised almost
every day by the excellent results from
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. It Is remark
able how effectually they remove the
excessive secretion and bring about a
healthy condition of the mucous mem
branes of the nose, throat and .stom
ach." All druggists sell complete treatment
of the Tablets at 0 cents and a little
book giving the symptoms and causes
of the various forms of catarrh, will be
mailed free by addressing F. A. Stuart
