zer." There was never anything slow

comedian, and in “The Star Gazer,”

ample scope.
Northern lights,
The attraction at Hoyt’s Theatre
next Tuesday evening will be ‘ ‘Northern
Lights,” one of the most successful of
the few really meritorious plays writ-
ten around and about the thrilling in-
cidents attending the Indian. uprising
in 1876, which resulted in the death of
the brave Custer. "Northern Lights,”
is a typical American drama of the
military order, all the scenes being
laid in Montana. The action takes
place in the Little Big Horn Valley, in
1876, at the period when the United
States troops, under Generals, Crook,
Terry, and Gibbon, were. in June of
that year to make a concerted attack
upon Sitting Bull’s encampment, and
recalls that most gallant act of modern
warfare, Custer’s heroic charge.
Paradise Alley.
“The Sunshine of Paradise Alley,”
Denman Thompson and George W.
Rver’s latest success, which recently
closed a nine weeks’ brilliant run at
the Tremont Theatre, Boston, will
have its first presentation at Hoyt’s
Theatre, Friday evening, October 15.
Thompson and Ryer have certainly
achieved a lasting success in their new
production, it proved such an innova-
tion in Boston that the Hubites could
not get enough of it, the people there
went wild over its production. It bids
fair to rival in many respects “The Old
Homestead,” with which these authors
names are linked. It treats life on the
East Side of New York and is divided
into scenes, or “pictures,” an East
River dock scene with a view of Brook-
lyn bridge in the distance; widow Mc-
N ally’s apartment in Paradise Alley;
the famous Paradise Alley itself, and
an autumn scene in Bronx Park.

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours ; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
conv1ncing proof that the kidneys and.
bladder are out of order.
WHAT To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that. Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad, ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.-
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price liftv
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail. Mention THE GAZETTE,
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &
Co., Binghainton, N. Y. The pro--

FOUND IN THECATHEDRAL.
Not Only Lost Pnekelbocdts, but Bahia!
Ame Picked Up In the Puwn.
.It F3 customary for searchers to go
{tout among the' pews in St. Patrick’s
Cathedral, in New York, after each
service, to pick up the articles that
h:.ve been lost or forgotten. Scarcely
a day passes that something of value
is not trrned over to the information
bureau by the searchers, and there is
always on display at tiis bureau an
assortment of gloves, handkerchiefs,
umbrellas, and books. The most not-
able ‘finds" in this great church, how-
ever, are b'filileT.
“Th-ere have been eighteen c.‘
twenty babies found here within my
recohcctlon,” said Special Officer Rut-
ledge -at the cathedral the other day.
“It is not an unrsual thing to find one
of them sleeping in a pew after every-
body else has left the church. They
are very young babies, as a rule, and
are undoubtedly abandoned deliber-
ately. I suppose that in most cases
the parents are too poor to take care
'of the little, ones, and l-eaVe them here
because they don't know What else to
do "with them. Sometimes we take
these deserted babies to the foundling
asylum and sometimes to the police
station. I do not recall an instance
where the identity of any of these
waits has been discovered.
“A surprisingly large amount of
money is found in this cathedral,"
continued Officer Rutledge. “Women
who come here to meditate and pray
frequently leave their purses on the
kneeling benches. Only a fews days
ago a little girl found $75 in one of
the chapels. She handed it to one of
the church attendants, and it was re-
stored to its own-er. Pocketbooks are
found scattered about the church after
every big ceremony. A great variety
of articles are picked up after the big
crowds of Christians and Easter have
departed.
“I am sorry to say that some of the
women that come here are not hon-
est. Occasionally we find one whose
mission is evidently to pick up some-
thing. Such persons are watched very
closely, and,we try to keep them out
of the church entirely. One day last
week a woman who had been at her
devotions at one of the side altars
went away and left her pocketbook on
the bench. A scrubwoman saw it and
started to pick it up, but before she
could get there a well-dressed woman,
in a pew near by, left her seat and
went into the altar and knelt on the
pocketbook. The cleaner waited a
reasonable length of time, and then
asked the strange woman to kindly
move to one side, which she did with-
out saying a word. In that way the
pocketbook, which contained consid-
erable money, was recovered." .
is; CURIOSlTlES IN GLASS. if ‘
Made of Threads Spun as Delicate and
Airy as the Finest Gnuke,
When the story of Cinderella was;
first translated into our language and
the slippers of vair, or fur, became
slippers of verre, or glass, the transi-
lator would have been amazed to know
that slippers of glass were not a fairy
impossibility. But it is not a. great
while since in this country'a’. patent
was taken out upon glass slippers.
That is really not extraordinary, since,
in fact, the uses to, which glassisnow
put are almost innumerable. There
was exhibited, some years ago, a bon-
net made of glass, with all its trim-
mings and furbelows, the flowers as
natural as life, the ribbons with the
luster of satin; and since then an act-
ress addedto her ward-robe the splen-V
'd-ors of a. dress woven all of spun
glass. The glass thread is ,draii'n out
to a fineness that makes it perfectly
pliable and elastic, it has no liability
of breaking, and it can be almost as
delicate, and as airy as the finest
gauze, and can be given any color.
It is in curious contrast to this that
another object has been made‘of glass
-—a coffin, whose inventor claims for
it indestructlbility. Of course, it is
comparatively indestructible, but when
we see the glass tear bottles in any col—
lection of antiques, where decay has
disintegrated the once. pure white
transparent slag; and rendered it a
mass of splendid color, one can im-
agine the incongruous appearance of
that article after, some .dOzen cen-
turies, holding its deadwrapped now
in a sheet of flame, and new as if in
the sapphire of the heart of the sky.
Meanwhile the more modest of us
may content ourselves with the im-
itations of gems, wonderful and not to
be detected, that are now made of
glass and with strings of the lovely
Venetian beads where a glass bubble
coated within by a solution of certain
fish-scales has the many-tinted soft-
ness of the pearl, and all Of its beauty,
except the romance and poetry and
pathos of the sea, which clings to the
real thing. The poet, talking about
the fairy tales of science, may Well
have had some of ‘these simple won;
de‘rs in his fancy, for while a bit of
quartz is a simple and primitive sub
stance, it is as great a. wonder as some
more important things that such‘
flinty stuff can be transformed into‘
something as light as the haze that
floats in the' air.—Harper’s Bazar.
