Ellsworth.
From the News:
The managers of the "big pumkin
show" at Worthington have refused to
grant E. H. Burfeind an opportunity
to conduct a display of healing com­
pound, for cuts and galls on horses,
etc. In view of the fact that Mr. Bur­
feind was given one of the prominent
spaces on the state fair grounds at
Hamline last week, the action of the
officials of the Worthington fair is a
peculiar and striking illustration of
their method of building up the fair.
The only reason apparent for their
refusal of Mr. Burfeind's application
is the probability that the granting of.
the concession might interfere with
business practice of a member of the
fair board. We doubt if Mr. Burfeind
will permit them to freeze him out in
this manner and we look for him to
be up and doing af*er this kind of
treatment.

"To Die at Dawn"
From the day she first began to
walk and talk, Miss Georgiana Ed
dings, who plays the dual role of the
two sisters in ''TO DIE AT PAWN,"
displayed a marked predilection for
the stage. When a mere child in
pinafores, she would strut about the
room, playing imaginary roles that
only existed in her imaginative brain.
Her father, noticing her tendency in
that direction decided to encourage it
and at once had her learn a number of
classic roles. At the age of seven,
when only three feet tall, it was her
delight to play Cassius to her six
foot father's Brutus, the disparity in
size being wholly lost in her earnest­
ness in the part. The same zeal that
characterized her juvenile attempts
has clung to her in her miturer years
and gives the rendition of roles pro
trayed by her that conscientious fin­
ish without which they would lose
much of theiif strength. Hers is the
work of an artist. "TO DIE AT
DAWN", with Miss Eddings, Emern
Horner and Frank E. Moore, in the
leading roles, supported by a very
clever company of dramatic artists
and vaudeville entertainers, will be
seen at the Opera House on Tuesday
Sept.

The church committee were there
sometime ago and reported favora­
bly on the plan of purchasing the
Park hotel, and in order to further the
project the business men of the city
subscribed large amount of money
to assist the society, last week.
W. P. Rembel attended the nation­
al conference of the church at Cincin­
nati, and the whole matter was laid
before the conference. On Tuesday
and Wednesday of last week the pre­
sident, vice president and treasurer
of the national body were in this city
investigating the matter. They
seemed to be very favorably impressed
with the Park hotel project and se­
cured an option on the building, and
have issuod a call for a meeting of
the board of regents of ths church
schools, to be held in or near Chica­
go, at which final decision will be
made.
The big railroad scene in
the second act, "The Flight of the
Limited Express" is said to be a
master piece of stage craft.

An American who years ago served
as
our minister to' Spain was fond of
telling '.the following joke upon him-
Shortly after he had become settled,
In hia new home he was. bidden tQ-a
state ceremonial, where he was tq be
presented to the king. His knowledge
.of languages was limited to English
and French, and being desirous of ad­
dressing the sovereign In his own
tongue he took pains to "coach" for
the occasion. Several phrases were re­
hearsed until he felt that he had mas­
tered tluhn. When' the critical mo­
ment arrived, he saluted tbe king with
great dignity, spoke a few words in
Spanish and passed odu
"What did you say asked an Eng­
lish gentleman.
"I spoke in Spanish," was the re
Joinder. "I said, 'I cast myself at your
feet,' which, I am told, is the most re­
spectful fctrm Of salutation/*

By the laws of England and of:
France legal documents are required
to be written In Ink made from galls,,
sneh ink having proved to'be practi­
cally Indelible. The mixture is of bruis­
ed galls with sulphate of Iron and gum
arable. This legal Ink, at once the best
and oldest in existence, entirely de­
pends on a" disease.to which 'the oak
tree is subject and which la caused
by a fly known as the gallfly. The
gallfly belongs to the same order as
the beep and wasps, tod when it
Is

the ink Is made.
Protoplasm.
Protoplasm Is a living, transparent
viscid substance of proteld character,
containing 70 per cent of -water. It
coagulates with heat at 130 degrees
and dies when the body is Talsed to
this temperature. As only dead proto­
plasm can be subjected to chemical
analysis It is difficult to determine Its
chemical nature. Its nearest allies are
to be found In the albuminoids, of
which the White of an egg Is a good
example. Of the real nature of proto­
plasm there Is, of course, absolutely
nothing known.—New York American.

THE GBEEK MYRMEX.
It Was the Deadliest Weapon of the
Anoiont Pugilist.
The four ounce glove was unknown
to the ancient pugilist When the
boxers and fighters came together In
the old days of Greece they wore up­
on their hands the cesttis, which was
in itself a terrible adjunct to any
fighter. But Dr. Daniel O. Briton dis­
covered that there was sometimes at­
tached to the cestus a deadlier -weap­
on, consisting of a three pronged fork
of bronze.
This was kn$wn as the myrmex, and
Dr. Brlnton, who found this specimen,
gave It to'the museum of archaeology
In the University of Pennsylvania.
Classical literature has frequent ref­
erences to the myrmex, which Is de­
scribed as the deadliest weapon of the
ancient pugilist. The right hand was
swathed in tough hide, bound In place
with thongs and supplemented by
small knobs of lead or Iron, to' which
was affixed the myrmex. Dr. Brlnton
made his discovery In Paris by ex­
amining the Greek and Roman mar­
bles in the Louvre. One of these
groups represented a fighter bearing
on his right fist the cestUs and myr­
mex.
Combats In those days were much
more brutal and dangerous than those
of the modern prize ring. It is easily
aeen^ that a singte biQw ff the mj
mex might cause death or pennanent
