News of the Very Creditable Minstrel Show Given Last Night by Local Amateur Talent. TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL It is a good many years since the first minstrel performance was given on the South Sid but those who attended the performances given by the young men in what was, and is now known as Shanty Hill, without any discredit to the residents, have a vivid remembrance of what they then saw. There may have been people in Charles Berghauser. Athletic hall last evening who were looking at their first minstrel show. There were others present whose memory could go back to the days of Duprez and Benedict, when the performers of last night were as yet unborn, for be it remembered that the people who gave last night's exhibition have not been long on earth, some of them not yet having attained their majority, but in the minds of all who were present last night there was only one conclusion.

The exhibition was most creditable. There were only two drawbacks. The stage was too small, and the orchestra was not familiar enough with the music. The orchestra was not ready when Albert Hoffman came out to sing his first illustrated song and Frank Lavelle. one of the Lav.elle brothers, a team of clog dancers was forced to leave the stage.

Notwithstanding these drawbacks, the show was a success. The" hall was filled, even to standing room. The stage setting was beautiful, and from the time that the orchestra began the strains of "Mr. until the farce. "Hotel Waldorf wry concluded, no one regretted their presence, though the minute and hour hand were getting very close to eu.i other when the performance concluded.

When the curtain rose it disclosed a lot of intelligent young men wearing dark trousers, shirt waists, low collars and black bow Ui, with Fred Rulaski as interlocutor in the center attired in evening dress. The party was singing. "The Girl I Left Behind." Presently, and with a great nourish, the "Merry Makers" were introduced. These were the end men, the only black faced artists appearing. Their makeup was very creditable and from their first appearance, they owned the house.

They were Albert F. Hoffman and John Wunsch, tambourines, and Charles Berghauser and John Lavelle. bones. The entire company in quick succession rendered the following pro gramme. Anvil CNru3, Waltz Chorus.

Others were very clever and evoked hearty applause. All in all. the consensus of opinion was that the first part of the show was quite as credit MRS. HANS BJERRE 1522 MadUon New York City, Writes of the Virtue of Cuticura. "To day I am thankful to say my boys are hearty and itronsr as anv ehii.

dren in the city, but I had my fair share of care and work when they were babies. An infant's skin is so delicate and fine that the least thing will hart it. For chafing, for all eruptions and outbreak! on the skin, for roughness and chapping, I always used Cuticura. 1 my boys all passed through baby. hood without any serlpus or aJarminj; skin trouble, I ttribute that circumstance to the prompt and free nae of Cuticura when the first sltn of disease appeared.

I should add that we alwars used Cuticura Soap in bathing the children. It seems to get all the impurities out of the skin, and If there is a single ingredient in it that can possibly do harm, I have never found a trace of it. Sometimes I read in papers of babies who bare been allowed to suffet a long time with a terrible disease before their mothers started to use Cuticura. I thiuk such cases as strange as they are sad for by this time everybody ought to know about Cuticura ami nobody ought to wait for weeks ami even months to pass before resorting to this remedy.

Albert Hoffman sang two songs capitally. They were: "Never Do Nothing for Nobody that Does Nothing for You." and "I Ain't Got No Use for Sleep." Mr. Hoffman sang well. His jestures were suitable, and the sorgs were such as appealed to the audience. James Norton, a John Wunsch.

Albert F. Hoffman. member of the Lawrence band, sans "Good Night Beloved, Good Night." in pleasing manner and as a second number. "Pretty Molly Shannon." Both of them were well received. John Wunsch sang "In Sunny and "Home Ain't Nothing Like This." and his quaint actions kept the audience in roars.

Another very popular feature was Walter Hughes' singing of "Tes sie." the company singing' the chorus. There was one feature that surprised all who attended. This was the acrobatic work of Kaiser. Berg and Dur kin. Men who had seen many teams perform could not believe that these three youths were amateurs.

They did manv difficult turns that were never seen on any stage while much of their work had to be cut out because the stage was lacking in height. John and Frank Lavelle appeared in a dance, dear to the lovers of things that have grown a double clog. The young men were encored and while doing the return act, Frank left the stage. Both young men are very elevej; in their specialty and any one who compared their work with men who were considered stars when they were their age, Johnny Howley and Brick Canavan could find nothing to criticise in their successors of later days. Another team of dancers who were roundly applauded wc William Norton and Walter Beebe.

They gave a good exhibition of fancy dantfng. Albert F. Hoffman and James Norton sang illustrated songs, the latter in iroaucing a aouDie quartet cnoius consisting of James Norton, Hugh Coyne, M. Lavelle.W. Hughes, William Owens, William Beddoe, George Gardner, W.

McLaughlin was treated In the Moses Taylor hospital and the late Dr. Leet hoped that he had made a perfect job. Time has shown the contrary to be the case, and it is understood that the only relief now is in amputation. SEEKING REDRESS. A committee of flood sufferers consisting of Charles Keller, William Grel ner.

Herman Schalter, Daniel Coleman and William Budenbach waited 1 on Mayor A. T. Connell yesterday with the purpose of having the taxes on property in the flooded district remitted for this year. It was a very modest request, and so Mayor Connell thought, for he assured them that he would communicate their requests to councils with a recommendation that their request should be granted. This was as it should be.

The committee I later waited on the county commissioners. These gentlemen informed the sufferers that it would afford them much satisfaction to remit per cent, of their county tax.

MUNYON. I believe there is a cure for every disease I believe that human life can be prolonged I believe that people should die only from old age. find I also believe and know that my Paw Paw Remedy will not only relieve much suffering, but adds many years to the average life. In my opinion dyspepsia and indigestion are the cause of most ailments. Dyspepsia means nervousness, sleeplessness, impure blood, catarrh, sluggish liver, kidney and heart affections.

No person can be hapoy no person can see the beauties of life and enjoy its pleasures, who suffers from any form of stomach trouble. I cannot recommend Paw Paw too hishly for all forms of indigestion and nervousness. This remedy acts wonderfully well on the liver, blood and kidneys, but I believe its greatest office is its marvelous effect upon the stomach and nerves. It is really a nerve food and vitalizer. It gives qxhilaration.

without in toxication. It docs what whiskey nor beer cannot do. It relieves the nerve tension. It stimulates every fiber and puts into active force every tissue of the body. It lifts one into the altitude of hope and holds him there.

It Is a bridge that enables fe weak and sickly to cross dangerous places. It feeds and nourishes the nerves, so that the blood corpuscles will be con stantlv revitalized and the losses of the vital force will be almost Imperceptible. In other it will supply a sufficient quantity of life matter, to take the place of waste. Instead of irritating the nerves and stomach it soothes and strengthens them. Almost every human beinjr sometime requires a stimu'ant.

NOT AN ALCOHOLIC STIMULANT, not a stimulant that will buoy up for a moment and then cat down to lower depths of depression, hut a stimulant that will wive an abiding strength and lasting force. My Paw Paw aids the stomach to dieest heart; foods and to make eood rich hlnnd which aeain In turn. strengthens the nerves, vitalizing all the tissues, and soon produces muscles, tissues, bone. It is my onlnion thet the clergymen in this country could do no greater service, for the cause of temperance than to advocate the general use of my Paw Paw, for by its ine drunkenness would.be lessened and the morals and hea'th of the community greatlv imoroved. A wife whose husband is addicted to drinking can do nothing better for herself or family than to get a bottle of this Paw Paw and whenever her husband feels the need of a tonic, give him tabl vmoon of Paw Paw.

sh I will find that he will soon lose all cravines for strong drinks that his appetite will soon become natural, that his nervousness and longing for excitements wrl disappear and he will be perfectly sathfled without alcoholic stimulants and harmful bfve' ages.
