It has always been claimed for The Chicago Tribune that it would. iu all probability, pass with the higlio&t average in any competitive examination among the n wspapers of the United States for excellence in all departments of journalism. •• Under date of May 2, 1899, the " Omaha World-Herald, editorially an- " swering a letter from * Inquirer " asking th'fe names of the five best " newspapers in this country, points " out that a newspaper may excel in " one way and be inferior in another. "The World-Herald gives lists under " five Rencral headings of leading " American newspapers distinguished " especially for excellence, mentioning " In all some twenty. THE FOLLOWING ARE THE HEADINGS: <2> ( S ) w (S) " (1) Most and beat news, foreign and domestic, presented attractively. Beet possible presentation of news briefly. Typographical appearance. Classification of news by de­ partments. "(6) "Bdltorlals. _ "The CliicaMTO Trllmne is the " only newspaper in the United States " which the World-Herald considers worthy of mention under four -differ ent heads."--Prom the October Plain Talk. Practically all high-class intelligent newspaper roaders. comprising the best nud middle classes in Chicago ard vicin­ ity, read The Chicago Tribune. A grent majority of them read no other morning newspaper. The Chicago Tribune prints morn advertising year in and year out than any newspaper in the West. A Great Advertising Medium. Discover things are' Doing to make men Happy." "1 don't see how It'll Make a man happy to, Find Out he is nothing But a crowd of microbes that mebby Have him Divided up into Counties and Slid­ ing Lots, with his Nose for a Court­ house aud his Whiskers for a park." maw sed. "Of corse you don't," paw .says. "That's becoz you Don't understand the Grate principle and Can't look ahed. It takes a man to See these things. As fast as Every different Kind of microbe is Discovered syunce goes to Work to find Out how to Raise Blooded microbes and What'll Kill the Bad ones without hurting the Other microbes that are Trying to Lead a Blameless life. After that's Done the hewmun race Will be Grate people. Everything a man does is On account of his Microbes. If he rites poetry, it's Becoe he has more poetry microbes In him than Enny other kind; if he Gets In Love, it shows the love microbes drove all the Other microbes Down from his Spiou Kop. That's where it'll come in handy when syunce gets the microbe Bizuess ail fixed up like it will be Sum day." "What'll happen then?" maw ast. "Why." paw told her, "insted of Keeping medasuns the Drug stores will have microbes to Sell. When a man wants a girl to Love him, he will get Ten cents Worth of Love microbes and put them in her Caramttlz. and the first thing you no She will think he Is a Nappollo Belv# Dearie with close on. "Then they will have 'microbes to make men generals and Statesmun, and If they find Out what Kind of Mi­ crobes Carniggy and Rockeyfello and J.

"It's per- flckly wonderful) what Syunce keeps doing! And This is a Bewtifull thee- ory, but they'll never get it thru." "Why not?" paw ast. "Becoz," maw says, "If peeple Could all be made happy by Using the rite Kind of microbes they wouldn't Ever haft to drink stuff to Get cheered up, and that would interfear with the Sa­ loon Bizness. They Are no use Ever trying to get Ennything the Saloon vote is against." "By Henry!" paw says. "I never thot of That!" -- Georgle In Chicago Times-Herald.

Fruit fritters of many kinds, notably apple, banana, peach, pear and orange in their season, will always prove a de­ sirable and pleasing, entree. To cook them the first requisition is a light made batter, which I find most practical made as follows: Put into a two-quart .basin three-quarters of a pound of sifted flour, a little salt, two yolks of eggs and two ounces of fresh butter previously melt­ ed in a stewpan: to these add gradually about half a pint ef tepid water and stir the whole together with a wooden spoon until the batter has acquired the con­ sistency of rich looking cream; it may then be put aside until within half an hour of its being wanted, when tht whites of two eggs beaten to a froth should be stirred into it. To make app'e or pear- fritters cut them in rich thick slices, cut out tht cores and. pare them and place the piece.' in a basin with a few teaspoonfuls Of sugar and some lemon juice, and Jet them remain for a half hour or so. • When ready to cook drop the piece,' in the batter prepared as above, takt out one at a time and drop into hot deep fat, frying a light brown. .When dont remove to drain upon coarse paper, break off all fclie rough parts, sprinkle with sugar and serve. SANDWICHES. All crust must be removed before spreading bread for sandwiches, an< when made the bread must be kepi moist by wrapping in damp napkins and keep in a closely covered steamer or tht refrigerator. The meats should be ol the most delicate quality, finely chopped or ground in a patent meat chopper. Nothing is more satisfactory for a sea soning than a mayonnaise dressing, oi for little folks a cream dressing. Tht possibilities for varying and appetizinj. effects in sandwiches is simply infinite Fish, nuts, all kinds of meats, sala< effects, are all available; and all breads, from the darkest of brown breads to the whitest of white breads. Watever if- used, the appearance of the finished pro­ duct should be inviting. TO CLEAN SOILED RIBBONS. The method is exceedingly simple and answers the purpose for all except whitt xibLous or those that are very badh mussed. Fill a glass fruit jar about half full of gasoline--more or less, ac­ cording to the amount of ribbon to be cleaned. Place the. soiled ribbons in it-- all colors, lengths and kinds may go in at once- and screw the cover on tightly. Shake the bottle occasionally and leave it closed for from two to six hours, or over night. Then take out the ribbons, shake each one well and hang it to dry in the open air. The ribbons will' b« clean, and the dirt will be found in thi bottom of the jar. Of course the rib bons need a thorough airing and sui bath to remove the odor of the gasoline, but that is all. No pressing is required, as the gasoline does not affect ^ them at water would. For white ribbons or those badly creased or mussed prepare a suds of soft water and any pure soap, wash the rib­ bons in this, just as you would wash f\ fine hankerchief; rinse and let it partially dry. Take it down while still damp ir all parts and roll it smoothly over a widt cart or piece of pasteboard, rolling a piece of clean white muslin with it. Wrap the muslin around last, so thai the ribbon shall be covered, and place the whole under a heavy weight. A letter press is an excellent place in which to prens it. Leave it until it shall have had time to dry. The muslin will ab­ sorb the moisture. The ribbon will come out looking fresh and clean and will have lost none of its "life," as is the case with ribbons which are pressed with an iron. ART IN PICTURE-HANGING. Today no one hangs pictures in pairs. The time when regularity of arrange­ ment was considered the acme of ele­ gance has vanished, and in its place hat- come a wild struggle after the unex­ pected effect is to have nothing match anything else. The weired result their efforts produce is due to their failure Ub appreciate the fact that harmony, at least, must rule, even although unifor- mity has been discarded. There must be a scheme to which the general tone of the pictures should con­ form. A dark carbon must not hang close to an etching drawn in delicate lines and bordered by a broad white mat. If water-colors with their soft tints elbow oil-paintings with their bold­ er tones, the former will be faded, the latter coarsened. Let it be grasped, in the first place, that certain things may go together, while others must be barred from the association. Etchings, photographs, drawings, some engravings, water-col­ ors. pastels, may be assembled on friend­ ly terms. Even then, however, there must be judgment exercised in the way they are placed. Contrary to (rfa© natu­ ral inclination, dark, heavily shaded pictures should not always hang in the strongest light, but should in some cases seek a sheltered position, away from the glare of the windows. Near the light may hang the pictures in fainter tints, the subdued water-colors, the line en- gracings, whose best-points need illumi­ nation. the gradation of tints should be borne in mind. Just as in a well-planned room the darkest color is found in the caipet, and melts from that through the shades of the curtains and furniture to the lightest nuance in the wall, so the lower pictures should be more sombre in hue than the upper, aud should lead the eye unconsciously from the deepest tone to the highest ligbjt. --^f^jter's Bawr. :V " i "Bag Harbor." 1 ' James A. Heme's latest and greatest play--greater even than "Shore Acres," the famous playwright's earlier epoch- making success, will begin an engage­ ment of one month at the Grand Opera- iiouse next Monday, March 19th. Mr. Herne himself will appear in .' Sag Harbor", and in a part said to be he finest he has ever, portrayed in his ong stage career. Associated with Mr. , Herne is a sterling company of favorite American players, embracing Forrest Robinson, Marion Abbott, Sydney :&x>th, Mrs. Sol Smith, Frank Monroe, fulie Hfeerne, Dibdin Pitt, Chrystal lerne, John Garrick, Jessie Dodd and Gertrude Binley. After haying run 107 consecutive nights at the Park Theatre, Boston, to the largest receipts in the listory of that famous theatre, the new >lay "took the road" and played its vay to Chicago. These six week en our have earned fo^ "Sag Harbor" the listinction of being the breaker of all previous rewrds for receipts in the New England and Eastern States. The success of Mr. Heme's new play iias been truly phenomenal--nothing ike it has ever been known in the East. "Sag Harbor" has already been booked for a six month stay in New 1'ork City, and for another half year in London and the other large English cit­ es, following its long metropolitan run. "Sag Harbor" has been variously de- cribed by the Eastern critics. One »f the most conservative dramatic vriters of the cultured Hub declared hat "Sag Harbor" is one of ,,the most •xquisite love stories ever produced on my stage, while another says it (Sag Harbor) is greater even than "Shore Acres". "Sag Harbor" is indeed a noble and regenerating play, pure, vholesome and tine in every line and situation. The high moral of this as­ tonishingly successful play has perhaps tot been one of the least factors in its enormous success, and at a time like this when the risque farce, and the prurient drama seem to be having their lay--the judicious theatre goers will be ;lad to learn of the splendid success ind the popular acclaim over James A. Heme and "Sag Harbor". Doe* Your Stomach l)l»(reM You?

Not until the close of the Spanish- Vmerican war, which proved such a irilliant success for our Army and Na- y, did foreign powers appreciate the trength and stability of our engines of var. Not only did foreign countries vatch the movements of our troops and hips with amusement, but our own >eople, right here at home, were sur •rised to find that the United States assessed an army and navy of such -trength and proportions. In one of the latest books to appear, •ntitled "The United States Army and tfavy, 1776-1899," a grapic description >f the operations ef both branches of the •service, from their inception to the close >f the late war, is to be found. It is a beautiful art edition, and no book so complete, both from a literary and ar­ tistic point of view, has ever been pub­ lished. " „ The text is by eminent authorities in both branches, and was compiled after a careful research of all government re­ cords. The illustrations and there are 48 of them, full-page size, are the finest specimens of art ever placed in a book The volume is published by the Wer­ ner Company, of Akron, Ohio, who are making a special offer to introduce it to the reading public. In another part of this issue will be found a more detailed description of the book and how it can be secured. tf. It is very hard to stand idly by and see our dear ones suffer while awaiting the arrival of the doctor. An Albany (N. Y.) dairyman called at a drug store there fqr a doctor to come and see his child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in, he left word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy* which he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In a few hours he returned saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The druggist, Mr. Otto Scholz, says the family has IVANSON'S.. , •n "" ,» ** ^ i- , '..A . ,* Jd new ginning to arrive • I 1 Shoes in great variety, - Ginghams, ; Percales, Shirtings, Outirtg Flannels We are adding higher grades of mer­ chandise to our stock, such as Fine Scotch and French Ginghams, rang­ ing in price from IOC to 25c.
