Sensational and thriliing in the ex- treme ig the mammoth moving picture of Republic disaster being shown at the Breed theater the remainder of s week, ‘covering all the incidents of e famous oollision, and the work be. fore and efter. The interior of the telegraph stations on the land and on % big steamers are clearly shown, especially when the great wireless sig- nell of distress is flashed. The flash- ing of the signa] on the receiving- and the subsequent haste rel- utive to getting assistance to the fili- fated steamer is fully represented; the collision in the fog, the excitement following, the saving of the passen- the receiving of the message on the Baltic, and the captain ginving orders to turn about end go to the xescue, as well ag the dnklg of the Republic, are all incidents in this great pleture. Jack Binns, the operator on the Republic, is shown at his desk, sending the famous signal of distress, . D., that resuited in the saving of ev soul aboard the Republic. The ng of the big steamer is shown with assisting boats ali under search light, and this marvellous pic- ture is brought to a close showing the resoued crew reaching New York, ulso a close view of Jack Binns iIn his typical moods. Many other great :l.in\:rou are also shown, among them The Skipper's Daughters, The Politiclan’s Love Story, the Golden Louis, Tag Day, and Bring Me Some Medame Morelle 18 making a big hit with her new illustrated song, “By the Old Oak Gate,” while her captivat« ing’ walts song, “The Kiss,” is & win- mer. T, Delaney is singing the pathetic lttle song, “There’'s Another Picture in My Mamma’'s Freme,” with splen- did success. AT BROADWAY THEATER. Vaudeville and Motion Pictures. A new picture machine has been/in- stalled at the Broadway which pro- duces a picture which for size and ¢learnesg never before been equal- od in this city. The pictures, together with the vaudeville are so arranged as to make e well balanced ghow, in fact, it is the equal of thoseé put on at any of the Keith or Polli houses in the larger cities. It is a ‘Well known fact that three of the acts now holding sway at this theater have just com- eted g mon of forty weeks over the nited king time. Nothing but Binancial success is bound to come to the present menagement if this week's show is.the criterion of that which is te follow at thig popular playhouse, Roderick Theater. Large audiences attended all per- formances at the Roderick yesterday, and it was deolded by al] the best per- formance as yet. The beautiful pic- ture, Love’s Sweet Melodes, held the deep interest of all, dealing with a young couple being deeply in love with ‘one another, and while in their short dream, made short by the in- terference of the young lady's father, played & sweet melody together on plane and flute. The girl while on a tour through Europe always heard the melody in every country and on ar- riving bhome was forced to marry by her father. A happy endimg takes place wben while on her way to the ehurch she is met by her lover, and he walks up to the altar instead of her father's choice. Another werful, dramatic film that took well was A Drame in & Circus. Lion Hunting is a genuine reproduction of the jungie and is something new, belng very in- teresting, while The Skull Sentinel furnishes plenty of humor. Miss Hef- fernan, the local soprano, made a de- cided hit singing Harry Lauders I T.ove a Lassy, while Mr, O'Neil pleased with his march song, Promise. Gov. Lilley's Long Fight. There must be = whole lot of sym- pathy for Gov. Lilley, who is seriously i1 in Hartford. There can be no doubt that the political game, as he was forced to play it, was too much for hiv * physical capacity. He collapsed when the hearing on the charges that hhe brought in connection with the submarine scandal in congress fell through. He was entirely honest in his charges, but whes the crisis came the men, upon whose testimony he had duilt his case, refused to stand with #im. " The rebuke that congress wwve him sent him to his bed—a sick man. But he wantgd to re-establish himself in his own state, fought out a great campaign for the nomination and a vastly more bitter one for the elec- tion lst fall. Bver since his election tis enemies have followed him up. But he won. The price he paid was the maximum as far as his health may be counted. Probably Gov. Lilley would rather give his life in such a fight than drqp out of it, without having proven that the people of his state had confi- Bdence in him.—Holyoke Transcript. The Brook. I chase myself by ledge and shelf, through pasture and throueh meadow; ¥ sometimes run in light of sun, and sometimes in the shadow; and here and there the fishers swear, because the trout are wary; and - I ourl and rush and swirl, by woodland and by prairie. I wander by the porker’s sty, where microbes are abounding; I skip and flip by blacksmith’s shop, with pammers' loud resounding. I play and sport and rip and snort by adders and ®y willows; the heated cows here hold garouse, and cool off in my billows. } sing and trill and glady fill the washerwoman’'s boilers; I amble through the ghack where glue is made by scented toilers.

A Scottish doctor declares that can- ned foods that contain two grains or more of tin per pound are potentially deleterious to health. Meat extracts and ences absorb tin more raphly than other meat foods. As the ab sorption of tin is continuous, special care should be exercised with foods that have been canned more than one year.

The stalks, from a quarter to a half inch in diamn eter and without leaves or thorns, at tair a height of three to five feet, and as many as 100 spring from the same root. From one-half to two tons of ahese stalks are taken from one aocre, and about 3 1-2 per cent, of their weight is wax.
