Orpheum Road Show Com- ing—*“ Charley’s Aunt” Next at Alcazar. It does not laok at all like the worst seven days of the theatrical year up at the Central Theater this week, with ‘“Mul- doon’s Picnic” as the magnet. The house is crowded nightly, and the classic Mul- doon seems to be just the kind of picnic that the audience wants up there. The farce is funny enough in itself for those who like that kind of thing, and is par- ticularly well put on at he Central, but there is an unearned increment of fun coming to it from the ‘cast, the comical | contrast between their usual meélodra- matic stunts and the glad horse-play of | “Muldoon’s Picnic.” Incidentally, it is a pretty good stock company that can turn that kind of a somersault with the success of the Central company with ‘““Muldoon.” but they do both things equally well, and it’s greatly to their credit. It is quite worth the price to see An- nette Marshall, the tragic Herodias of A Voice in the Wilderness,” pea-shooting and doing cakewalks as Hannah Muldoon, vith innocent flaxen curls tied up with baby blue ribbon around her rosy cheeks, i an infantile frock and sash, and ankle- | strap slippers on her nimble feet. Her { cakewalk is just as good as her usual tragic stunt, and she seems to enjoy every minute of it. Hallett Thompson, the dude leading man, comes in wearing a suit |t defies description at shooting dis- | tance, and has a sixteen-ounce-to-the- pound “Chimmie Fadden’ accent, as Tim McCormick. Stanley Ross, the silk-hat- ted villain of other days, is a double-dyed | Salvationist with conviction. Harry Con- lon and James Corrigan are in their “ili- ment” as Muldoon and Mulcahey, and | Ernest Howell and Edwin Emery both | add to the general hilarity. Rosa Ben- | nett is an unembarr: haps—who is real sweet as Jennie and sings_and dances well. Georgie Cooper, | Who has a pretty specialty, with assist- ance from two of the tiniest coons that ever trod a stage, is a sprightly Maggie, and Gertrude Claire and Margaret Mar- all both fit into their parts.

A FEW REASONS Which Are Rapidly Making a New Catarrh Cure Famous. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the new Ca- tarrh cure, has the following advantages over other catarrh remedies: First: These tablets contain no’ co- caine, morphine or any other injurious drug and are as _safe and beneficial for children as for adults; this is an import- ant point when it is recalled that many catarrh remedies do contain these very objectionable ingredients. Next: Being in tablet form this rem- edy does not deteriorate with age or an exposure to the air, as liquid preparations invariably do. Next: The tablet form not only pre- serves the medicinal properties, but it is 80 far more convenient to carry and to use at any time that it is only a question of time when the tablet will ‘entirely su- persede liquid medicines as it has al- ready done in the medical department of the United States army. Next: No secret is made of the compo- sition of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; they contain the active principles of Eucalyp- tus bark, rfiq. gum, blood root and Hy- drastin, all harmless antiseptics, which, hewever, are death to catarrhal germs wherever found, because they ellminate them from the blood. Next: You can not cure catarrh by lo- cal applications to the nose and throat, because these are simply local symptoms and,_such treatment can not - possibly ‘reach the real seat of catarrhal discase, which is in the blood; for this reason, in- halers, douches, sprans and powders nev- er really cure catarrh, but simply give temporary relief. which a dose of plain salt and water will do just as well. Catarrh must be driven out of the sys- tem, out of the blood, by an internal remedy because an internal remedy is the only kind which can be assimilated into the blood. $ Stuert’s Catarrh Tablets do this bettar than the old form of treatment becauss they contain every safe specific known ton modern science in the antiseptic form of the disease. Next: The use of inhalers, and spray- ing, fl&pnrnt\xse& besides being ineffective and disappointing, is expensive, while a compléete treatment of Stuart’s Catarrh Tabiets can be had at any drug store in the“Unlted States and cenis. 1 was a | an\n a for 0 I - AIDS FUND FOR A WORTHY CHARITY Under Management of Mrs. Milton S.

L R S ) DEPARTMENT ORDER IS MATTER OF COMMENT Judge Advocate Embrick Says Cen- sure Was Not Aimed at the Artillery Court. Colonel Rawles' severe censure of the Presidio * court-martial, which made so many serious errors in the trial of Pri- vate Samuel 1I. Evans, Troop G, Sixth Cavalry, on a charge of desertion, was a matter of much comment in miitary cir- cles yesterday. The order, although in the nature of a reprimand, does not mean that the members of the court will be in any way punished. First Lieutenant Stanley D. Embrick, judge advocate of the court-martial now in session, states that the censure was directed toward another court which has recently been dissolved. His court. which consists of Lieutenant Colonel Grimes, ajor C. W. Hobbs, Captainsg dJ. Vv, White, C. A. Bennett, J. L, Hayden and L. 8. Miller, Lieutenants G. T. Perkins, J. B. Murphy, W. R. Bettlson and J. L. Long, all of the Artillery Corps, is not, he says, in any way responsible for the perversion of justice. —_——— News in Army Circles.

FORESTERS WIN IMPORTANT SUIT Judge Seawell Renders an Opinion of Great Interest. pANPEEE Decision Covers Troublesome Question Ooncerning Delinquencies. —_—— Judge Beawell yesterday denied a mo- tion for a new trial of the suit insti- tuted by Mrs. Sophia Luhrs against Court Star of the Mission of the Ancient Order of Foresters for $75, which the by-laws of the Court provides should be paid to the widow of a “financial” member at the time of his death. Mrs. Luhrs is the widow of F. Luhrs, who dled in March, 1899. The Foresters refused to pay her on the ground that Luhrs at the time of his death owed thirteen weeks’ dues, and in consequence was not a “financial” member. Mrs. Luhrs accordingly entered suit in the Jus- tice’s court for the amount, but lost her case. An appeal was taken and Judge Seawell in denying the motion for a new trial sustained the decision of the lower court. The moticn for a new trial was based on the ground that “F. Luhrs died after the meeting night of the month subse- quent to which month the forfeiture of benefits was to attach under defendant’s by-laws,” and that “the evidence was in- sufficlent to justify ‘the finding that the decedent did ‘not pay the arrears of his | said monthly contributions, amounting to thirteen weeks.” A new trial was also asked for on the ground that Luhrs was not notified of his suspension for non- payment of dues. udge Seawell holds that “‘the loss of the rights to benefits is not dependent up- on the suspension of a member but upon his_delinquency in the payment of dues,” and that “a member is suspended wheth- er he have motice or not.” The decision of Judge Seawell also cov- ers the much-mooted question of the time when dues for a menth become delin- quent. Judge Seaweil held “that the ! word ‘owing’ may be properly used to indicate a present obligation which 1is payable in the future,” and that { dues for March are ‘owing’ on the first meeting night in March but are p: on any meeting night in that mont owing of three months’ dues is enough to deprive a member of benefits and that the by-laws were not intended to require that he should owe “‘more” months dues. i Judge Seawell’s opinion sustains the ac- tion taken by the Subsidiary High Court of Foresters in similar cases. | EIGHTEEN MEMBERS FOR NEW GRAND JURY Inquisitorial Body Will Be Completed | | | From a Special Venire Return- \ able Next Monday. | Eighteen members of the new Grand | Jury were selected from a venire of | thirty by Judge Dunne yesterday.
