"WHEN WE WERE TWENTY

z\t Aeatlemy Ycsicrdny.
The name of ihe play presented at the
'Academy of Music last night, "When We
Were Twenty-One," suggested old "Nat"
Goodwin and pretty Maxime Elliott; but
the recollection stopped with the title.
There was nothing else seen/or done on
tho stage to suggest the sorrel-topped
comedian or ins charming wife. Esmond's
love romnncf' has been played here on
numerous occasions, not only by the co
etars who achieved success in the original
roles of Dick Carcw and Phyllis- Ericson.
lnit by a road organization as well. The
personnel of the company thnt presented
the play last evening contained no famil
iar names. The leading- parts were es
sayed by Richard Allen and Miss Kath
]yn Williams. The latter is a winsome
lilonde. and to her is due what little
success "When We Were Twenty-One"
attained.
Allen gave a rather poor interpretation
■of the principal: character, lie was en
tirely too stagey at times whrn no dra
matic action was required, and when the
occasion did present itself, he was woful
ly lacking in taking advantage of his op
portunity. Albert Lovern made a rather
w<»ak nnd constrained "Imp." while the
other members <lid perhaps the best they
oould.
During tho season of 1901-IM2 the "Vol
unteer OrK'inist" -vvas presented through
out tho United States and Canada by
three distinct companies, each carrying
Its own special scenery and niccl;!'.ji:cal
■effects. It appears that, in -some cities
an impression prevailed "that those > who
saw company No. :> or No. :; were not so
we!l treated as the play-goer« who wit
nessed the production by company No. 1.
Ah a matter of fact, the companies were
of equal merit, while, the three sets of
Kcenery wore exactly alike. The com
panies sent out -this season are made up
principally from the players who were
most .successful last season, so that the
present production of the "Volunteer Or
ganist," at least in a histrionic sense
will be far in advance of that of all pre
vious ones. The organization which pre
sents the "Volunteer Organist" at the
Academy to-morrow and Saturday is com
pany No. 1. and will present as fine a cast
•nd as perfect an equipment as any at
traction offered this year to the "pub
lic.
The Gif Ton Company returns to this

An Invention That -Will; He of Jlenc
flt'to 'ThonNnndH of /People.' -
There is no doubt about the value of
Virol, this new form ofvcod liver oil,
concerning which so much has been said
lately- "'lt. is* just another one .of those
Kreat inventions that is bound to "revb
lutionizc n certain branch of science:. This
time' the. science is that of saving "lives.
Hence the greater good that will -^be oe
rived from this discovery. jl
Mr. Tragic, of the Tragle Drug Com
panx, of this. city, wiio so fortunately
succeeded ijv associating himself 'with
the prominent Boston firm, hasj indeed
made his name" one that will .nev^r -be
forgotten in our, city. Kls foresight and
.shrewdness enable him to takej advan
tage of what has proved to be jn .most
wor.eViful blessing to all who 'are in
need of medicine for the'eure of! throat,
lunc. and! bronchial troubles, as {well as
wasting diseases of every "description:
This Vinol is simply a cod liver oil in
a new l'orm. cod liver oil ' without""any oil.
rarndoxic;;l r.sthe statement may sound.
In other words, as Mr. Tragle
it himsslf. 'Vinol ..is me. concentrated .es
sence- containing all the active medicinal
principles' found in the liver of,thc live
cod. without any of the ' objectionable
features that were formerly extracted at
the same time, such as fatty matter .* The
extract which Is the basis of Viriol be
comes tasteless, administered as it is in
a delicate table wine. The efficient riian
ner in which it acts is really wbnderfui.
Phyricians are now able to prescribe for
patients Vinol where it would have been
impossible a short time, ago to have rec
ommended cod liver oil ..on account of
the depleted condition of the patient's
digestive organs.
This has always been a drawback, that
has prevented more cures being. x effected
where cod liver oil has been indiccted:
Patients are no «v able to take thisfmedi-.
cine without the slightest inconvenience.
In fact, to take delicious Vinol is a.' plea
sure. Its beneficial effect is most jgjati

It is not often we believe it our duty
to expatiate so fully on a subject,' but this
is one that will admit of careful inves

gravest importance that every ona' should
become conversant with aTemcdy. that
is so often needed in our bleak climate.

OPERATIONS OF THE TREASURY.
The treasurer of the United States, in
his anual report, distinguishes, iasr/the
striking features of the condition of the
treasury, the magnitude of the available
cash balance and,the unprecedented hold
ings of gold. Among the notable! events
ol the last fiscal year are the diminution
of revenues due to the repeal 'of- war
taxes, the reduction of expenditures,- and
the changes in the composition <of the
paper currency. United States notes and
treasury notes were. redeemed in jgold to
the amount of $17,452,590 of the ( former
and $1,274,590 of the latter, without." any
impairment of the gold reserve Of $150,
000 : ': :'■-
Tho increase of the available cash bal
ance was $33,780,56.";. bringing the total
on June 30 to $212,187,261. By Oct.' 1. 1902,
the total increased, to 5221.253,394, but. was
reduced by Nov 1 to $205,421,878.30.' In
clusive of the gold reserve, the available
balance on June 30 was $352,187,851, the
largest in the history of the department,
for while these figures are exceeded by. ten
reccTds-of 1579, the latter included in the
account the funds held temporarily
agr.inifl called bonds. After allowing for
.subsidiary silver, silver bullion, and,minor
coin not available for large payments,
there remained in tTie treasury"
Nov. 1 a fund of over 556,000,000, which is
slightly in excess of what is deemed a.
fair working balance. Nearly half of the
net available cash balance, over and
above the reserve of $150,000,000, 'was in
eo!d mid gold certificates, which amounted
'10-SI'W.SOI,2IH». and increased by Nov. 1 to
$115,542.i«:J3. a sum far exceeding the out
standing liabilities. <

FOREIGN COMMERCE.
The. marked characteristics of the- for

The total exports • of , the year were $J.
381,719,401. of which. $1,356,841,861 was of
domestic '■'. production: the - total imports
were $903,320,984. making the excess 'of ex
ports over imports $478,898,453.' The; de

While bound to- her wharf to-night the
steamer Hamilton, Captain F. B. Holtz
manl of the Norfolk, Petersburg and
Weldori Steamboat Company,- was ran
down by the New York. Pennsylvania nnd
■Norfolk steamer Old Point Comfort.
Captain Ashby said had not the Hamil
ton been equipped .with ■' water-tigh*
compartments she would. have sunk imme
diately. The Hamilton had. aboard a val
uable carg-o. consisting of .3,000 bags ol:
peanuts. 300 bales of cotton, and 300.00 1
shingles, and much miscellaneous freight,
from eastern North Carolina points, her
cargo being valued at $25,000 by her own
er. Captain J. \V. Phillips, of Petersburg.
The Old Point Coriirort was coming up
from Old Point Comfort and was going
into the dock when the Hamilton crossed
her bows. The big steamer struck the
Hamilton, which is a much smaller ves
sel, amidship on the port-side, almost cut
ting her. in two. As soon as possible, the
captain of the Hamilton ran lier on the
mud flats, where she now lies, badly
damaged, her port-side being crushed
entirely in. It is impossible to-night to
ascertain the amount of damage, to the
cargo of the Hamilton, as the owners
state that it, will.be necessary to unload
the vessel before, this is known.
The commander of the Hamilton stated
that he had the right, of way and kept
on his course. The Old Point Comfort
could not be stopped in time to prevent
an accident, though her crew made every
effort to do so. - Neither steamer had
any passengers aboard at the time. The
crews of ' each 'vessel acted admirably.

Ancient Bracelets Found.
(Cleveland Plain Dealer..)
Four magnificent bracelets belonging tc
the Queen -of King Zer, who reigned near
ly 5.000 1». C, were among the discoveries
oade by Frofessor Petrie while excatvat
jng at Abydos. Egypt, last year. The
workmanship of these is most ingenius
nnd del^ate. The finest bracelet is. form
ed of alternating plaques of gold and
t.urquoiso,.each surmounted with the royal
hawk and panelled to imitate the front
of the tomb or palace. This bracelet
consists of thirteen gold and fourteen
turquoise plaques in the form of a facade,
whereupon was inscribed the name of
the queen. The golu was worked by chisel
and burnishing. The second bracelet; had
a cente'r-j'iece of gold, with amethyst and
turquoise : beads and bands of .'braided
gold wire. The fastening of the bracelet
was by loops and button of a hollow ball
of gold, with a shank of gold wire fasten
ed in" it. The third bracelet is of spiral
beads of gold anl luzuli in three groups.
Making the fourth bracelet are four
groups of hour-glass beads, amethyst be
tween geld, with connections of gold and
turquoise.

steer "a ship after dusk by fixing- the.
compass on :i particular star, thereby in

throughout the night. When once fixed
on a certaii; star, the hew invention will
hold to it until shifted to another point.
Great v things .are expected by the mari

A French Fight Asnlnst SeanickneM.
-, " (The Lancet.)
Those who suffer ]from seasickness may
be glad to learn that a league for its
prevention has been formed in France.
The society is called the "Ligue contre
Ie Mai de Men" It is under the direction
of Dr Mardeuf; who has founded a jour
nal called Le Mai de Mer. and published
a book which professes to be a complete
hygenic guide for those who travel by
water. This small worK contains a large
amount of curious information. The first
chapter is written to prove that there Is
such a thing as seasickness (it is "une
veritable maladle"), a. proposition which
will be readily granted. The further con
tion that it can .be avoided (otherwise
than by staying ashore), and that it is
curable, can hardly be said at present to
be matters of common knowledge. Gen
eral and special cautions which should be
taking before starting on a journey are
given and a chapter devoted to the be
havior, which should be observed on the
day of departure. ' - .
On going on board the boat the travel
ler shouldwalk around, whistle, and sing,
should he possess that accomplishment,
if not he should chat or regard a distant
fixed'pbint through binocular- glasses.
This latter practice is strongly recom
mended by M. G. Marguet, of Chalons,
who has found that the mere act of hold
ing-binocular glasses before the eyes has
been sufficient to prevent sickness. This
method of prophylaxis has its counterpart
ln a tradition held by some British sail
ors to the effect that a man who falls*
overboard will never be drowned so long
as he can be induced to enter conversa
tion.; The English, we. learn, strongly
recommend the exhibition of "wiskey,"
of cognac, of rum. of brandy, of char
treuse and of porter. Whether these
remedies are usually taken separately
or together, we are not told, nor are the
doses specified. The author recommends
an alcoholic preparation of mint, because
he says, the smell of that herb increases
the activity of respiration. In regard to.
the food, Dr. Mardeuf finds that foie gras
arid cream, are apt to disagree. In the
case of acute symptoms he recommends
abdominal ; compression,- -^concerning
which he has much to say.
Perhaps the most interesting thing "tn
connection with the leasye, is the great
effort which it is making. to obtain the
.fullest details on all questions bearing. on
the causation, symptoms, treatment and
complications of seasickness. The meth
od called collective investigation is the
one which has been adopted, and a num
ber of questions have been drawn up to
which answers are requested from all
persons interested in the malady. There
I are thirty-seven questions, five of which
! are addressed exclusively to ladies. Some
might suggest the wish that an easier
one might be substituted. For example,
' many people would be unable satisfac
torily to define their temperament, and
to say whether it is nei/ous; bilious,
lymphatic or sanguine. Many of the
! questions cover a good deal of ground.
! Here is one specimen: (Question 19). "Do
you turn in as you come on board? Do
you do so In the 'summer before the boat
sails, when the heat makes the cabins
intolerable? Do you preserve the hori
zontal posture? Do you lie on your back
or on your stomach, or on your right side?
Do you keep your head higher or lower
than your feet? Do the Arabs suffer. more
or less from seasickness than we do?
Do you ■ know any children who suffer
from seasickness, if so, what are their
ages .
TALK OF PARKER FOrt 100-i.
Among; -Dan Cninpan'.i Krlends in
Si>ite of Siiratosm
(Now York Sun.)
The-Hon. Daniel J. Campau. of Michi
gan, has been at : the Hoffman House
within the last few days. He is the chair
man of the Democratic National Execu
tive Committee. He lives in Detroit, but
is known in New York as well as he is in
San Francisco, New Orleans, Paris, Ber
lin. London, and St. Petersburg.
Since ISO'J Mr. Campau has been Demo
cratic master of Michigan. He is a rich
man, and the personal friend of Bryan.
President Cleveland made him collector
of the port of Detroit in 18S9, and from 1
that moment Don Manuel Dickinson op
posed Mr. Campau.
"I believe." said Mr. Campau, "that if
Judge Parker had been nominated at
Saratoga by the Democratic State con
vention in September, he would have been
elected Governor of the State of New
York."
There were friends of Mr. Campau's
present, who said that Mr. Hill had pitch
ed over a. Governor and possibly a Presi
dent when Judge Parker was not nomi
nated for Governor. Mr. Campau's
friends went on to say that if Mr. Cleve
land .were nominated for President in
1904. Mr. Bryan would nominate a third
candidate.
Mr. Campau's friends were for Judge
Parker for 1904.- ,
It was said In odd corners at Saratoga
in September that even if Judge Parker
was not nominated for Governor his im
portance as a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for President in 1004
would not be lessened, and that Mr. Hill
could not lessen it.
SomeofvMr. Campau's friends said th^t
possibly Senator William . ;i A. Clark, of
Montanst, might be elected chairman of
the ■ Democratic National Committee, -in
place 'of Senator James -K. Jones, -of
Arkansas, but others said that, the ma
jority of the Democratic Natic/nal Com
mitteemen seemed to favor, the election
of , James M. Guff ey, of Pennsylvania.

A Xeir York Parish.
(New York Sun.)
•The great and complicated orsantsa
tion a populous and Vnersctic New Yoi-'^
parish has become is illustrated \ n tfie
"year books." or annual reports, of Eu's'
copal churches like Grace, St Bart^olol
mew's, and St. George's. It has d»vot
oped into a machine, religious, phi'av
thropic and social, in the runnin" o'
wliich is sfeadily engaged an army <j'
v.-orkers. clerical and lay, and the ex
penditure of money required to keep it
going is as great as that which is laid
out on the government of a considerable
town.
Take. for example, the iast "Tear
Book" of St. George's church in Stuyve
sant Square. Besides the rector. th»
Rev. Dr. Rainsforcl. the clerical staff
includes four assistants. Then coma
deaconesses and a large body of volun
teer lay workers. So vast is "the volatna
of details that the rector requires th° all
of .a skilful and industrious secretary,
for % he is like the president or superin
tendent of a great railroad company o:
trust. The number of "souls who claim
union with this church." the rector re
ports, is 5.290. and they. are "scattered
all over Manhattan Island and ontlyir.;
districts.* The majority of them, hour'
'ever, are residents within the bounds oi
the parish or in the neighborhood of it,
for 3.46S live, between east Eleventh
and east Twentieth streets, St. George's
tftFlng situated at east Sixteenth street.
It is a district of the town which
seemed unfavorable to the growth oi
a- great Protestant parish. AVhen Dr.
Rainsford came to' St. George's in 13S1
the parish was falling- away. "Thpre was
only a handful of people in attendant!
on the old church." The character ol
the neighborhood had changed from a
fashionable district arid the population
of it had increased accordingly. A like
transformation has taken place in tho 1
character of the parishioners during Dr.
Rainsford's rectorship. Out o* mor«
than eight thousand of them, less than
six hundred live In private houses. ivhi!e
more than rive thousand am inhabitants
of tenements, about on r e thousand live
in boarding-houses, and another thousand
in fiats, apartments, and hotels.
