"The Man on the Box,'" as a comedy

I hat name. Miss Grace LivillgBlOll
Purutss has provided a dramatiza?
tion in which the best scenes from
the hook are effectively used and
which Is replete with bright linos
and amusing situations. There is a
serious background in the shape of i
cleverly constructed plot, giving the
piece a keener Interest than usual!)
is found In modern comedies.
Mr. Mux Figmnn is delightful in
the title role. lie Is a clover com?
edian and shines in Ihe lighter scenes
although he Is unite etpial to the oc?
casion In the one or two pretty little
love scenes, as well as when ho Is
railed upon to take plaits of Fortress
Monroe from n Russian spy.
Supporting Mr. Plgmnn, in llk? role
of Elizabeth Annesley Is Miss Helen
Holmes. Miss Holmes is charming;
she Is a capable actress with a pret?
ty face, a beautifully girlish figure
nnd ti BWOOt, magnetic voice.
Mr. John 0 Brownwoll makes a
capable Count Knrloff and the other
parts are in good hands.
The play is staged in excellent
fashion, the two settings representing
n police magistrate's private exam?
ination room and the "snuggery" at
Colonel Anneslry's home.

A PROCLAMATION. j|
TO THE CITIZENS OF NEW?
PORT NEWS: ?
; The Jamestown Exposition,
; celebrating the Tercentennial
' oi Hie landing ni Jnmestown,
> will !><? rormally opened on
: April 2<$lh, r.uiT. The President
; oi the United States and his
official family, distinguished
] roprosentntlves of the principal
foreign powers ami the Gover?
nors oi probably a score of
I States will be present. Vir?
ginia's Daughters In the Amer?
ican Commonwealths will send
tens ol thousands of their citi?
zens to participate In this cele?
bration and to do honor to the
Mother of States. The navies
of i he world will assemble in
Hampton ltoads, the harbor of
Newport News, for that oc?
casion.
Newport News and the other
!cities of Tidewater Virginia will
bo the hosts on this notable oc?
casion. The duty of Newport
News, in this particular. Is em?
phasized by the part which she
has played and the contribu?
tion she has made in the (level
I optuent of the Exposition idea
\ and In the perfection of the
1' plans which made the Exposi?
tion possible,
in extending this welcome
Newport News should send not
loss than FIFTEEN THOU?
SAND of her citizens. That
the opportunity may be afford?
ed the school children to at?
tend, the School ' Hoard has
wisely declared that the
schools of the City shall be
closed on that day.
In my opinion the importance
of (he occasion is such that
April 26th should be observed
I us a holiday, not only in the
schools, hut by the entire clti- i
zenship of Newport News. The S
offices of the various city offi- >
5 cials will be closed, und 1 re- 5
Bpectfully request and urge \
that the banks and business <
houses close their places of j
business on that day and that
the citizens generally will
unite iu making the dny a spe?
cial holiday in honor of the oc?
casion.
It will be a fitting and grace?
ful act on the part of tno City
and will add much, as our visi?
tors see it, to the cordiality and
enthusiasm or our welcome.

Fruit Damaged.
Tho very cold weather of Sunday
and Sunday night did a great deal of'
damage to fruit in this section. It!
was freezing until after the sun rose j
yesterday morning.
No Smallpox Here.
The last smallpox patient under
the charge of the health authorities
hns been discharged and the city is |
rid of Ihe disease for the spring and
summer season.
Don't Be Too Devoted.
Men in love are delighted to be]
told that they are never absent from
the thoughts of their sweethearts?I
husbands find this conscientiousness]
trifle wearing.
As bad as a clinging vine is the wo?
man who makes her devotions tool
Incessant.
She is never tactful, never conscious |
that he wants to be ahme occasional
ty, never capable of making herself!
and her affections a novelty to n:m. |
And this is a fatal error In any
love affair.
Shadow Embroidery Cushion.
Clever Indeed are some of the new
cushions, and we might have ox-]
spooled some ingenious woman would
create something new and beautiful
in this work. In one of the fancy
work departments is shown a number
of the soft while cushions worked wit
the eyel.-t embroidery. The colors I
are u t plain, but beautifully blended!
in natural shades. The yellow daisy
is a neat pattern for a cushion, while |
the violet, chrysnntcemum, carnation
and Clemalic flower designs when
worked in Ihe various colors are very
beautiful. One cushion was decorator]

A RAH-ROAD COLLISION.
A railroad collision b'ocks traffic
and ties up the road, interfering with
the proper operation of the system

Something very similar hns happened

I nation manifests itself. The proper
operation of the human system Is in?
terfered with and comfort and health
j suffer in proportion to the gravity of
I the ease. Chronic constlnation is a
serious condition with which medical
men frequently have to deal, and they
recognize the fact that Its permanent j
lehre demands the retoration of elasM
city and strength to the muscles that

Drink the old original Aibuckles*
ATUOSA Coffee, the blend of
Brazilian coffees, most wholesome
and stimulating, as well as most
economical. Anything dearer
than Aibuckles* ARIOSA is
extravagant, and no one can sell
as qood coffee for the sanrie price.
People who drink Arbuckles*
ARIOSA Coffee are not dys?
peptics with fashionable nerves
who take vacations in Sanitariums,
on featherweight rations, but the
healthy vigorous ? manhood and
womanhood that constitute the
useful majority. The first roasted
