WOMEN’S
v
i «■
are nearly al
ways reliable
thermometers of
their health.
Who cannot
read the story
told by weak,
listless footsteps, , x
dragging wearily to and fro?
What a contrast to the strong,
graceful movements of the wo
man who is in good condition.
What makes the difference?
Simply health. The world is
made for well people. At work, j
In the home, in society—vigorous, \f,
active women are the favorites, '
the successful ones.
Health is woman’s right. It
will bring her everything worth
living for. If she has not this
priceless boon, she should strive
for it.
There is one relief open to all
women. It is Pe-ru-na, the spec
ific for catarrh,.! _ _
congestions, irri
tations, inflam
mations, weak
ening drains, 1
painful irregu
larities, etc.' As
a rule, the ma
jority of diseases
which make life
a burden to wo
men spring from
a debilitated or
catarrhal condi
tion of the sensi
tive membrane which lines the pelvic organs. Being a specific tor an
catarrhal conditions, Pe-ru-na easily corrects such disorders and brings
about a normal, healthy condition even in cases which appear almost
hopeless. It does not claim to be a cure-all or a wonderful restorer of
lost youth. But it does claim to heal, strengthen and revitalize the
mucous membrane which lines the entire body.

AMUSEMENTS,
The appearance and pranks of the devil
on earth, arrayed either In his conventional
garb of flaming red, with cloven hoofs, a
pitchfork and a tail, or in semi-human
form, have been used as more or less en
tertaining material on the stage ever since
the very birth of the English drama. In
the old moralities and mysteries, which
constituted the theatre of London in the
centuries before Shakespeare, his Satanic
Majesty was a familiar ligure. In more re
cent years he has been of service in both
opera and the spoken drama. In the latter
he has almost invariably been Goethe’s
conception, and as such he has become a
trifle monotonous. No such charge, how
ever, can be made against the figure of the
Devil created by the phenomenally popular
English novelist, Marie Corelli. The sales
of her book, "The Sorrows of Satan,” hav
ing in this country alone exceeded a mil
lion copies, It would appear unnecessary
to even outline the story here, a story,
which, in its dramatic form, was success
fully produced two years ago at the Shafts
bury Theatre, London, is to be presented
for the first time in this city on next
Wednesday at the Jefferson Theatre. That
the novel contained excellent material for
a powerful and an absorbing play may be
imagined from a paragraph in one of its
earlier pages:
"Why should the wicked flourish like a
green bay tree? I have often thought about
it. Now, however, I believe I could help to
solve the problem out of my own personal
experience. But—such an experience! Who
will credit it? Who will believe that any
thing so strange and terrific ever chanced
to the lot ot mortal man? No one. Vet it
is true; truer than much so-called truth.”
This in itself is enough to whet the ap
petite of the theatre-goers who love the
weird and the romantic; and It is probable
that both those who, entranced, have read
tne book to its close, and those who were
compelled to put it aside unfinished be
cause of its horrors, will await with equally
eager anticipations this first opportunity
to view in its stage form one of the most
original, daring and strangest stories
known to modern fiction.
The production is made by ...illam A.
Brady, whose many companies, In both
musical oomedy and pure drama, have al
ways been of nigh grade. The cast selected,
however, is said to be adapted to ihe many
complex roles. The gowns worn by the
women, who represent the Prince of Wales
set in London, are elaborate, and the scen
ery is decidedly realistic, particularly the
Satanic storm at sea, In the midst of which
the Devil is again received into heaven, and
the settings for the electric fete given by
the 1’rlnoe of Darkness in his earthly dls
gu.se as Prince Luclo Remunez.
Oliver Scott's Minstrels
The band and orchestra with Oliver
Scott's Big Minstrel is not by any means
one of the least Important features. It can
be said, without fear of contradiction, that
it is one of the best musical organizations
ever put together. R. N. Thompson, di
rector of the band, Is an educated musi
cian of ability, and has an unusually good
set of musicians under him. The trombone
solos of Ralph DeVlne and the cornet solos
of Director Thompson are features of the
every-day concerts.
This company will appear at the Audi
torium tomorrow and Tuesday, with a
matinee performance.
KuhwA Holland's Minstrels
Probably never since the first Invasion of
negro minstrelsy before the footlights has ,
there been such a collection of genuine ne
gro talent made as the one that Rusco &
Holland this season have In their big Min
strel Festival, which will appear at the
Jtfferson Theatre next Thursday night.
The comedians, singers, dancers, ucro
bats—In fact, all that goes to make a min
strel show complete—have been selected
with mure than ordinary care, and the re
sult Is the biggest show of the kind ever
produced by negroes. The big stree parade
ar 2:30 p. m., every particle of which, In
cluding stock and vehicles, is carried by
the company, ■ is one of the features, In
cluding, as it does, two brass bands, the
a .ckaninny drum corps and the entire com

UNDER AUSPICES
OF THE RED CROSS
Work of Relief in Galveston is
Now Being Conducted.
LOCAL BRANCH ORGANIZED
Miss Clara Barton Gives Details in a
Telegram to New York Head
quarters-City Divided
Into Ten Wards
—
New York, September 29.—The system of
relief distribution now in operation In Gal
veston is described in the following tele
gram from Miss Clara 13arton, president
of the American National Red Cross So
ciety, received today at the rooms of the
Red Cross Texas relief fund in this city:
"Upon the repeated solicitation of the
local authorities the Galveston local relief
committee, composed entirely of men, and
the local Red Cross emergency committee,
composed entirely of ladies, were merged
into one committee yesterday and immedi
ately organized into the Galveston auxil
iary of the American Red Cross. The en
tire work of distribution of clothing and
other supplies was transferred to the new
organization, all such work to be Immedi
ate and henceforth conducted under the
auspices and by the direction of the Amer
ican National Red Cross.
"Not the slightest interruption of the
work will take place. The ten ward dis
tributing stations established and being
used by Chairman McVitties committee
will be continued as found necessary, with
the accession ol the Red Cross ladies, one
of whom has been appointed as vice chair
man for each ward, with three or more as
sistants to aid in the sorting and delivery
ot goods at the relief stations, with addi
tional accessions of ladies for each ward
station to any number that may be found
necessary, who shall make systematic in
vestigation in certain streets assigned to
them of the worthiness of all applicants
for relief.
me work being thus systematized can
be most thoroughly conducted indefinitely.
The relief by this painstaking and sys
tematic method will have to be continued
many months.
“The great central warehouses estab
lished by Mr. McYTttle's committees and
the Red Cross will be used In conjunction
with each other as heretofore, for the pur
pose of receiving from railroads, express
and steamship companies all provisions
sent here, assorting and classifying the
same and furnishing the ward distributing
stations upon requisition. As rapidly as
practicable certain ward distributing sta
tions will be discontinued and connected
with others, thus reducing the expenses.
"The accession of the Red Cross ladles
to the distributing committees is hailed
with great satisfaction by the chairmen
of the committees, nearly all of them be
ing leaders of the different wards, and also
have charge of the gang of men engaged
In removing the milions of feet of splintered
lumber, debris of all sorts and remaining
dead bodies, their time being almost wholly
required In that direction.
"The relief work Is completely organized
and reduced to a perfect system. The skill
with which it was at first organized and
has thus far been conducted by Chairman
McVittle and his assistants is a marvel to
us. The leading business men of Ibis city
have labored day and ni; ■ upon the com
mittees and have comp. ..<1 a thorough
census of the city as to names and present
abode of the sufferers, their pressing wants
and would note expressions and any re
maining member of a family is able to do
a day's labor Is being paid for labor in
the great task In removing the debris.
"The general executive committee, of
which Mayor Jones is chairman, meets
daily and considers the most formal and
capable manner all subjects pertaining to
the work of relief. I have never known a
more representative or capable business
community. The time and energy devoted
to the work by each member fills me with
admiration.
"The most Imperative subject now before
the committee and one great in Importance
next to the sanitary r>llef In cleaning the
city Is the qutstion of providing suitable
homes of a temporary nature for more than
8000 homeless persons. The committee is
forming a plan for the purpose of meeting
with that necessity. Immense quantities
of lumber, nails, roofing and carpenter tools
and a large fund of money will be neces
sary to suitably meet this end. In every
Instance where possible the sufferers wrlll
be expected to furnish their own labor In
the reconstruction of their homes, thereby
keeping every one employed.”
