CHICAGO PHYSICIANS BUSY.
An Epidemic of Pneumonia, Influenza
and Bronchitis.
By Associated Press. (
Chicago, Ill., Feb. 17.—Pneumonia, in-
fluenza and bronchitis are keeping Chi-
cago physicians busy. Nearly every hos-
pital in the city has one or more cases of
pneumonia, while the less serious diseases
are even more prevalent. Added to these
are the far greater number of cases
treated at home, making the list of suf-
ferers a long one. The situation is com-
plicated by the fact that nearly every
one of Chicago’s big hospitals is filled
and unable to take any more patients. At
the county hospital there are 949 patients,
leaving but one vacant bed. Conditions
are similar in the other large hospitals.
Of the 661 deaths reported last week by
the health department report, 175 were
from pneumonia, while 37 were from cases
®f bronchitis and influenza.
RECORDER’S COURT.
Fights Occur as Result of March
Gras Celebration--Female
Naval Officer.
There were several fights which oc-
curred last night as the result of the
Mardi Gras celebration, the cases against
the participants in which were called in
the recorder’s court. None of them were
tried, however, owing to the fact that in
each instance only one of the. participants
were present. In several cases in the
past there has been a separation of the
trials, with the result that each blamed
the affair on the other, and both were ac-
quitted. Now the recorder hears them
both together. One oPthe arrests made
last night was that of a woman who
was attired as an officer in the navy.
With such a masquerade she felt it in-
cumbent upon herself to parade on the
wharves. At pier 20 she became en-
tangled in the railroad tracks and ■ fell.
She was slightly injured and was taken
to Sealy hospital, thence to jail. This
morning she was yet too drunk to be
tried.
AMUSEMENTS.
The many- counter attractions attendant
upon the celebration of Mardi Gras had
their effect upon the attendance at the
Grand opera house last night, and the
audiem^jghich greeted Mr. Al Wilson in
“A Prince of Tatters” was rather small
and not at all commensurate with the
merits of the performance. Mr. Wilson
has a magnificent voice, pure in melody
and rich in tone, which, coupled with a
splendid physique and considerable acting
ability, tend to make anything he at-
tempts well done and certainly thor-
oughly enjoyable. The play, which is
written by Mr. Sidney R. Ellis, was de-
signed expressly for Mr. Wilson, and gives
him ample opportunities for the display
of his talents. The songs are all pretty,
and they are sung well by the star. The
audience was quite enthusiastic over Mr.
Wilson. All of his songs were encoded,
and at one time he was forced to. respond
to several curtain calls, taking occasion
to make a neat little speech. Miss Janette
Farrell was quite satisfactory as Lady
Helen, while Miss Fanny Bloodgood was
clever as Ann. Clattercopp. Little Miss
Bessie Burt is a bright child.
LEWIS MORRISON AS FAUST.
Lewis Morrison’s conception of the part
of Mephisto in the dramatized version of
Goethe’s "Faust” has been conceded to be
the best exposition of Satanic subtlety
and satanic power ever presented on the
stage.. Sir Henry Irving’s Shylock is ac-
knowledged as the standard of the subtlest
and finest exposition of Hebraism extant.
Lewis Morrison’s Satan holds equal rank
at home and abroad for his demonstration
of the attributes popularly believed to be-
long to that malevolent creation of Goethe,
Mephistopheles. The appearance of Lewis
Morrison himself for the last time here
in this part tonight, with a splendid array
of new scenery, startling electrical effects
and a strong supporting company, will be
welcomed by many who have previously
seen and can testify to the brilliancy of
this well known star. With new scenery,
electrical effects, a new prologue, a clever
supporting company and Lewis Morrison
himself in the stellar role of Mephisto, the
production of “Faust” will be a big event
at. the Grand opera house.
“THE RUNAWAYS.
“The Runaways,” the musical extrava-
ganza which will be the attraction at the
Grand opera house on Friday night and
Saturday matinee and night, is said to
be the most elaborate of all the great
Casino successes. The claim is made that
Messrs. Shubert and Nixon and Zimmer-
man expended $75,000 on the production be-
fore it began its career of over six months
at the New York Casino.
The music by Mr. Raymond Hubbell is
said to be exceedingly good, some of the
twenty song hits being catchy enough to

set the audience humming and whistling.
In addition to Mr. Arthur Dun the cast
contains many metropolitan favorites, in-
cluding Charles Dox, Joseph Carey, Al.
Garland, J. C. Henderson, Helen Lord,
Mabel Carrier, Florence Worden and near-
ly one hundred others. In the chorus,
which is said to be the prettiest of all
recent New York productions, are three
distinct groups of beautiful girls—the six
“widows,” the daisies and comic opera
queens.

“I have noticed that about one man in
five who signs the register does it with his
left hand,” said Mr. John Young Bedell,
the efficient clerk at the Tremont hotel.
“I thought at first that if my observation
was applied generally to men who don’t
register at hotels it would seem all out of
proportion. But from inquiries I have

pear only in two cities in Texas-Galves-

It is reported that friends of Velez are

the case.
“The principal of a New York business
college, who lives in one of the hotels
there, told me that about two out of every
five boys who come to his school want to
write with their left hand. They do every-
thing else the same as right-handed boys
do. In cases like this, he told me, no at-
tempt is made to break the boy from
writing with his left hand, but it is in-
sisted that he shall write with his right
hand, too. In this case about one-third of
the next generation will be ambidex-
trous.
“I noticed a man here last fall who
registered with his left hand and almost
immediately afterward signed for a tele-
gram with his right hand. As I knew
the man, I asked him about it. He told
me that he began about two years ago to
write one word or two words at a time

GREEK ARCHAIC CHARIOT
Supposed to Be in Metropolitan Museum
of Art, New York City,
By Associated Press.
New York, N. ¥., Feb. IT.-Although it
is not specially mentioned, it is supposed
the Greek archaic chariot, the sale of
which to Americans has been the subject
of interrogation in the Italian chamber of
deputies, is now in the Metropolitan
Museum of Art in this city. It was un-
earthed by peasants digging a foundation
for a farm house at the foot of II Capi-
tano hill, beneath which the road from
Monteleone leads to Norcia, the ancient
etruscian city of Nursia, 14 miles from
Vitrobo.
President Rhinelander of the Metropol-
itan said:
"The biga or chariot is one of our most
valued pieces of ancient artisanship and
thought to be the only specimen of that
early period in existence.”
Jacob Rogers, the millionaire locomo-
tive manufacturer, purchased, it for the
museum shortly before his death.

with regard to table manners,” said ~a

of it.’ The end of the Russian knife is
broader than the portion next to the han-
dle, and it is used both as a knife and
as a spoon. They complain that the Amer-
ican knives do not ‘hold’ enough.” Aftei-
this is not surprising to learn that “the
Russians were highly amused” at the au-
thor’s “use of the toothbrush, which they
consider a peculiarly feminine utensil.”
There is a prominent local politician in
town whose intimate friend is an inveter-
ate joker. The former holds a position in
the office of a large corporation. He has
a desk in there and it is frequently visited
by leading men. The practical joker pro-
cured a large placard the other day and
placed it over his friend’s desk. It read:
*.............................................«
: IF WORKING INTERFERES :
: WITH YOUR DRINKING, :
: THEN QUIT WORKING. ;

This unique bit of advice so prominently
arrayed over the desk was noticed by the
senior member of the firm. He gasped
with amazement, and called the attention
of the prominent politician to the conspic-
uous card. The joker is being pursued.

FORTUNE IN BONDS
Found By Heiress and Grand-

Twelve Years.
By Associated Press.
New York, N. Y., Feb. 17.—A fortune in
high class railroad bonds has been found
by the granddaughter and heiress of
Thomas Wilson of Westchester after a
search of 12 years.
When Wilson died no trace of his wealth
could be found, although, he was known
to have, possessed a considerable fortune
accumulated in building. Mrs. Lizzie
Pell, his granddaughter, instituted im-
mediate search, but without success, un-
til a safe deposit was found in his name
in a Long Island bank.
It contained $26,500 in bonds of high
grade and papers showing the investment
elsewhere of a large sum, estimated by
some persons at $200,000.

THE MAYOR OF NEW SMYRNA,
FLORIDA,
WRITES A LETTER TO THE HOME OF
VINOL.
Mr. J. J. Schott Publishes It to Show How
the Fame of His Vinoi Is
Spreading.
“We have continually been ’publishing
facts about the great good Vinoi has
been doing right here in town,” ex-
plained Mr. Schott, our well known drug-
gist, “and it is with pride we are per-
mitted to publish herewith a letter from
a far-off city, showing that the unques-
tionable merit of Vinoi is being recog-
nized in all parts of the country. The
Hon. C. G. Hesse, Mayor of New Smyrna,
Fla., writes:
“It must afford you great satisfaction
to know that you have succeeded in plac-
ing before the people a cod liver oil
preparation of such high merit and great
curative power as Vinoi. I know of noth-
ing superior in cases of throat and lung
troubles and to build up the system after
wasting diseases.
Vinoi invigorates the system, heals dis-
ease, induces appetite and helps assim-
ilate the food. In fact, it assists nature
to perform her duties without friction,
and this always means good health.
I am satisfied Vinol’s marvelous re-
building power is derived from the valua-
ble curative medicinal elements found in
the cod liver, which by your admirable
method you are able to administer with-
out a drop of oil or any disagreeable
feature.
“Such a high-class preparation, which
I know from experience does all and more
than it claims, has my hearty indorse-
ment.”
Such testimony as this is valuable be-
cause it is genuine. Such a man as the
Hon. Mr. Hesse would not go out of his
way to voluntarily recommend Vinoi un-
less he knew it was worthy. This seems
to back up what we have been claiming
so long for Vinoi, and is published for
that purpose.
There is not a shadow of doubt about
Vinoi being the greatest preparation of
cod liver oil ever sold to the American
public, and therefore it must be the
greatest tonic reconstructor known to
medicine.
“In the strongest manner we unhesitat-
ingly indorse and guarantee Vinoi to in-
crease the appetite, cure stomach trou-
bles, give strength and renewed vitality
to the aged, build up the run down, tired
and debilitated, make the weak strong,
cure chronic coughs, colds and build up
the convalescent, or will return to the
purchaser every dollar paid for it.” J. J.

idea that the south has never been devel-
oped as yet; that you did not have any
big cities or anything down here to see
but the plantations and the negroes.
“It is curious the idea some northern
people get of the entire southern country
and their reasons for getting such ideas.
Take, for instance, myself. I had a good
common school education, but that did not
teach me that the south was filled with
big cities, prosperous communities and
beautiful sights. We have found wealth
here, too, on this trip, and it looks very
much to me as though this was the com-
ing section of the country. The cry will
soon change and it will be, ‘Go south,
