"Aladdin, Jr.," comes back to us with one or two new faces, but as is us­ ual whenever this management returns to the city, a large number of novelties have been prepared to be put in the pro­ duction to attract the multitude. It is proposed by the management to open with "Aladdin, .Tr." This will be followed, in all probability, by, probably, the most enot'mous success of the nine years, "Ali Baba," and this will be succeeded by an­ other piece in the repertoire of the Ameri­ can Extravaganza : Company. In addi­ tion to this Manager Henderson an­ nounces that he has two new pieces, which will be put on later in the season, and it is not at all unlikely that the en­ gagement of the company will be extend­ ed over the time allotted to it in former years. In fact, it is rumored that it is Mr. Henderson's intention to convert the Chicago Opera House, for at least nine months in the year, into an extravaganza theater entirely. The paucity of combina­ tions in the country to-day that can draw money, and the enormous percentages demanded, certainly are warranted to make managers reflect upon the advisa­ bility of a change of policy, not only in Chicago, but in other cities of the country.

WILLING, ABLE, AND AMBITIOUS, Bat Often Held Back by an Illness They do not Understand. fSPECIAL TO ODE LADY EEADEHS.} A young and intelligent working-girl of Brooklyn, N.Y., graphically pictures the working-girl's life. Day in and day out, month after month, she toils. She is the bread-winner of the k family, and must § work that others may live. \Rain or shine, warm, or cold, she must get to her place of emplcym ;nt Bharp on ti •je. ? With the s tn- 1 shine and g id- x ne^s all crus ed out of her 1 fe,_ she goes on m- -til she fulls. Oh! this pic­ tures otjly one of thousands. Some work in cramped positions, but the great ma­ jority of working girls, so to speak, live on their feet. Among the iatter the symptoms of fepitfiie diseases are early manifested by y&kk and aching backs, pains in the lower limbs and lower part of the stom­ ach.' The "monthly period" is irregu­ lar: with some profuse, with others a cessation. The sure symptom, leucor- rhoea, is present, and with faintness, weakness, loss of appetite and sleep.

CARLISLE ON SILVER. SECRETARY OPPOSES ITS FREE COINAGE. • • -- i . Addresses a Kentucky Audience, Vigorously Upholding the Financial Policy of the Administration--Arch­ bishop "Williams' Golden Jubilee. •__v_ Wants a Gold Basis. The Secretary of the t'United , States "Treasur^fBya Hon. John/G., Carlisle, op­ ened the discM^ion of the silver question at Covingtony Ky., Monday night. The rush to hear the speaker was tremendousl An attempt was made to reserve seats for ladies, but it was given up when the,pres­ sure. to secure admittance was felt. Sec­ retary Carlisle was called' upon by repre­ sentatives of the press, who asked bis po­ sition on the Kentucky Senatorship. To all his reply was that he was not a candi­ date now for that or any Other office. Mr. Carlisle plunged directly into the sil­ ver question, first giving a review of the coinage legislation to show that there was nothing surreptitious in ,the demonetiza­ tion act. of 1873. He said the question SECRETARY CARLISLE. whether we shall maintain at an equal purchasing power in the markets all the dollars in use or provide by law for the free and unlimited coinage of silver dol­ lars, each containing 412% grains of standard silver, is by far the most impor­ tant one that has been presented to the American people in this generation, and it now confronts us. The substitution of a new unit and measure of value is not an ordinary experiment that can be safely tried to-day and abandoned to-morrow if found injurious. The immediate conse­ quences would continue to be felt for years after^he policy had been reversed. iBroadly stated, the Secretary's argu­ ment focused upon the silver advocates' theory that an expansion of the volume of currency, through free coinage, would tend to raise prices and restore the healthy tone of the nation's industrial and pro­ ductive activities.' Mr. Carlisle opened his argument with a plea for frank and friendly investigation of the facts of the case. After dclining the present financial situation, ho gave a rapid sketch of the country's financial history, which, he says, has tnuglit the lesson that "whenever the coinage laws of any country permit the free colnntfe of both metals with full loffitl-toutlur (itmllflo* at a ratio of value which 0. not conform substantially to their liitrluHlc or commercial ratio in the market* of the world, both kinds of coin cannot ho kept in circulation at the same time." Mr. Carlisle followed his elaborate de­ lineation of the impossibility of sustain­ ing the parity of the two metals under free coinage with an argument upon which he laid much stress. In his view unlim­ ited free, coinage without international ac­ tion would not increase the amount of money circulation sufficiently to overcome the decrease due to the withdrawing of gold.. The farmer or the laborer would not enjoy the benefit of an increased cir­ culation with a consequent increase in prices. He would have a kind of money with about half the purchasing power with which the present dollar is endowed and which, on the other hand, he would be compelled to accept at its face value in payment of his wages or his commodities. What Secretary Carlisle would have is a system whereby silver might be used in the currency und<?r such restrictions as would insure the full parity of every dollar with every other dollar.

One--Full" Bench Present When Opinion Is Read-Jackson, H.ar- lan. Brown and White Favor the Act* Whole l<a\v Knocked Out. In the judgment of the Supreme^Conrt that portion of the revenue lawin 1894 relating to the tax on incomes is "inopera­ tive, void and unconstitutional." In ar^ riving at this conclusion the court took the yiew that, while some sections of the law might be constitutional if taken up sep­ arately, the law was so framed that it could not be considered equitably except­ ing as a whole. In the opinion of the court Congress would not have enacted the law if it had supposed that that por­ tion of it relating to incomes on real estate and bonds would be declared unconstitu­ tional, while those sections imposing a tax on business, franchises and privileges would be held to be valid and enforceable. It was clearly not the purpose of Con­ gress to levy a tax on occupations, pro­ fessions and other forms of enterprise and labor;'and to exemptreai estate ahdbonds. It was the. aim of Congress to tax cap­ ital, and. as the court was practically unanimous in the' conclusion that to tax income from real estate and municipal and State bonds was unconstitutional there would be a manifest injustice in upholding the law m parrt and declaring it invalid in part"' ' ' •• . ' • '. The vote resulted: Five against the con­ stitutionality of the law to' four for the law. Those, against the Jaw were Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Field., Gray, Brewer arid Sliiras; for. the law, Justices Harlan, White, Brown and -Jackson. Chief Justice Pullet read the opinion and the conclusions of the court are as fol­ lows: , • " 1. We adhere to the opinion already an­ nounced that taxes on real estate being in­ disputably direct taxes, taxes on the rents or income of real estate are equally direct taxes. v 2. We are of the opinion that taxes on personal property or on the income of per­ sonal property are likewise direct taxes. 3. The tax imposed by sections 27 to 37, inclusive, of the act of 1894, so far as it falls on the income of real estate and on personal property, being a direct tax with-" in the meaning of the constitution and therefore unconstitutional and void, be­ cause not apportioned according to repre­ sentation, all those sections constituting one entire scheme of taxation are neces- sarily invalid. The decrees hereinbefore entered in this court will be vacated. The decrees below will be reversed and the cases, remanded with instructions to grant the relief pray­ ed. """"Sections 27 to 37 of the tariff act of 1S94, referred to in the conclusions of the court in the opinions, are all the sections of the act relating to the income tax, so that the entire income tax law is declared void specifically. > •• r An Unique Boole.

AFTER THIRTY YEARS OUR POSTAL SERVICE. A, Comparison of Poatoflices Here and in Other Countries. It costs the people of the United States about $0,000,000 a year to maintain the postal service. Xo other country in the world has so large a deficiency in postal revenues. England makes $13,500,000 from it every year, France makes a pro­ fit of $9,000,000. Germany's profit is more than $5,000,000. Twenty of the countries of the Postal Union have sur­ pluses and fourteen of them have defi­ ciencies. The Argentine Republic loses $2,000,000 a year; Russia, $1,750,000; Canada, $SS0,000, and Japan, Queens­ land, Bulgaria. Salvador, Uruguay, Xew South Wales, Siain, Luxemburg, Greece and Bolivia pay smaller sums for the con­ venience of those who write letters and those who receive them. The Post Office Department of the United States employs 178,835 workers. Germany comes second with 155,424; Great Britain third, with 131,459; France fourth, with 57.82S. The United States, with limited free collection and delivery, has an average of less than one let'ter box to each post office. Only 010 of the post offices in the United States have free delivery--less than one per cent. Germany has an average of three letter boxes to each post office, and France, with her 7,309 post offices, has 61,- 009 letter boxes. There is a very remark­ able difference in the character of the accommodations given in these countries. The number of letter boxes in the United States is 53,556; in Germany, 92,202; in Great Britain. 44,097, or more than two to each office; in British India, 31,842. But Japan makes a remarkable showing in this particular. There are only 3,776 post offices in Japan, but there are 31,243 letter boxes to receive the mail for these offices, an average of more than eight to each office. The whole number of letter boxes in use in the world is 424,247. But the real value.pf a postal service is shown largely by^the number of post of­ fices in proportion to the population, or the area covered. And "here the United States falls short. Switzerland has a post office to every 4.7 square miles of territory, and Queensland has a post office for every 428 inhabitants. These are the leaders in these two classes. The United States holds the fifteenth place in the list of post offices in proportion to area, and the seventh place in the. list of post offices in proportion to population. Thero is a post office in this country to every 58% square miles, and a post office to every 923 inhabitants. In the sending and receiving of foreign mail Germany comes first and the United States second. Germany receives 09,- 000,000 foreign letters. 13.000,000 foreign postal cards, 25,750.000 prints and com­ mercial papers and 3,750,000 samples every year. The United States receives 51,500,000 letters, 2,250,000 postal cards, 44,250,000 papers and 750,000 samples every year. Spicy News Notes.

THE BUCKEYE STATE CONTRIB­ UTES THE STORY OF A VETERAN'S SEARCH. How Fred Taylor, a Member of the Gallant 189th N. Y. V. I. Finally Found What He Has Sought Si'n^e the War Closed.. (From the'AshtdbuJa, Ohio, Beacon.) Mr. Fred Taylor was born and brought up near Etjnira, X. Y„ and from there en­ listed in the 189th regiment, X. Y. V, I„ with which he went through the war, and saw much hard seryit-e. * Owing to expo­ sure and hardships, during the service, Mr. Taylor contracted chronic diarrhoea, from which he has suffered now over thir­ ty years, with, absolutely no help from physicians. By nature he was a won­ derfully vigorous man. Had lie not been, his disease and the experiments of the doc­ tors had killed him long at»o. Laudanum was the only thing which afforded him re­ lief. He had terrible headaches, his'nerves were shattered, he could not sleep an hour a day on an average, and he was reduced to a skeleton. A year ago, he and his wife sought relief in a change of climate and removed to Geneva, Ohio; but the change in health came not. Finally, on the rec­ ommendation of F. ,T. Hoffner, the lead­ ing druggist of Geneva, who was cogniz­ ant of similar cases which Pink Pills had cured, Mr. Taylor was persuaded, to try a box. "As a drownig man grasps a straw so I took the pills," says Mr. Taylor, "but with no more hope of rescue. But after thirty years of suffering and fruitless search for relief I at last found it in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The day after I took the first pills 1 commenced to feel better, and when 1 had taken the first box I was in fact a new man." That was two months ago. Mr. Taylor has since taken more of the pills and his progress is steady and he has the utmost confidence in them. He has regained full control of his nerves and sleeps as well as in his youth. Color is coining back to his parch­ ed veins and he is gaining flesh and strength rapidly. He is now able to do Considerable outdoor work. t As he concluded narrating his suffer­ ings, experience and cure to a Beacon re­ porter Mrs. Taylor, who has been his faithful helpmeet these many years, said She wished to add her testimony in favor of Pink Pills. "TO""the pills alone is due the credit of raising Mr. Taylor from a helpless invalid to the man he is to-day," said Mrs. Taylor. Both Mr. and Mrs. Taylor cannot find words to express the gratitude they feel or recommend too highly Pink Pills to suffering humanity. Any inquiries addressed to them at Gene­ va, Ohio, regarding Mr. Taylors case they will cheerfully answer, as whey are anxious that the whole world shall know what Pink Pills have done for them and that suffering humanity may be benefited thereby. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schen­ ectady, X. Y.. for 50 cents per box, or sit boxes for $2.50.

Happiness in a Southern Man's Home --Tells About the Red Flag of Danger at the Kailroad CrosBinjj-- Warning to America's Men. "For twenty-six years I have used to­ bacco in great quantities and of late years took to cigarette smoking," writes Mr. W. B. Simpson, of Leeompte, La. I want to go on record that tobacco has robbed me of many years of life _:md a great deal of happiness. I realize it now as I compare my feelings and my condi­ tion With that of a year ago, when I was a tobacco saturated cigarette fiend. Many and m ahya time did I try to "quit smok­ ing myself into eternity, but I could not put through a day without suffering ex­ treme nervous, torture, which would in­ crease hour by hour till finally, to save myself as it." seemed, from almost Hying to pieces, 1 had to light the little,white pipe-stick and swallow the smoke. One day I read in my paper "Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke.) Your Life Away," just what I Was doirig. It came to me like the. warning of the man who waves the red flag of danger at the railroad crossing, and. said, that Xo-To-Bac was an abso­ lutely guaranteed relief from tobacco slavery. I did not believe it, but like a drowning man grasping at a , straw, 1 commenced taking Xo-To-Bac. The ef­ fects were magical, it destroyed the nerve craving, and desire for cigarettes. Two boxes, would you believe it, made me w ell and strong. I huve gained mentally, physically, in vigor and manhood, and with the brain free from the nicotine and a breath no longer befouled with tobacco smoke I am so happy to-day to write No- To-Bae did it ali a year ago. so the cure is time-tested and tried, not only in my own case, but several of my friends who have also been cured. •>. We have a baby boy now. My wife and I feel that all this happiness started from the time when I first used Xo-To- Bac, and in evidence of our appreciation and in order that the memory of the happiness may be perpetuated in a living form, we want to name our baby boy after the man who wrote the line "Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke Your Life Away." Xo-To-Bac is popular- here and all our druggists sell it. Hardly a day passes but somebody asks me about Xo-'IVBac, so I don't want you to hesitate to use these lines in any way that you think will make known to suffering humanity the happiness that there is in Xo-To-Bac for the many men with nicotinized brains and weakened resolutions.

One of the most interesting specimens in the National Museum at Washing­ ton, D. C., is a cast of an egg of most gigantic size, which was found in a guano bod on the Island of Madagas­ car, about twenty-five years ago. The shell of this egg will hold almost ex­ actly two gallons of liquid, which would make is capacity equal to 14S averaged sized eggs laid by the coni- mon barnyard fowl. The bird which laid tills mammoth egg is now extinct, and has been for probably 20 years. To the scientist--who knows it by its bones and eggs--it is known as the epiornis, and its restored skeletons prove, it to have been a bird at least twelve l'eet in height. Arab sailors who visited Madagascar cen­ turies ago, when the epiornis was still living, are believed to have" brought, back the stories concerning it which finally developed into the fabulous nar­ ratives of the roc.--St. Louis Republic.
