A BRIGHT STAR. BIG ATHLETIC EVENT.
A SKETCH OF THE MAN WHO
LED MARY ANDERSON
TO FAME.
i COMING INTERN ATIONALTOUR-
NAM ENT AT NEW YORK.
Alio Flayed Leading Roles with Booth,
liurrett aud Thome.
/ [From the St. Louis Chronicle.]
' One of the most conspicuous figures in the
Stageland of America to-day is John vV.
Norton. Born in the Seventh ward of New
York city forty-six years ago. the friends
of his youth were Thomas w. Keeno and
Frank Chanfrau. We find Keeue a star at
the ape of 25 and Norton in the flower of
early manhood, the leading man for Edwin
Booth at the famous Winter Garden Thea-
ter. He was starred with Lawrence Bar-
rett early in the 70s, aud alternated the
leading rolss with Charles Thorue at the
Variety theater in New Orleans. Early in
the Centennial year, in Louisville, Norton
met our Mary Anderson, then a fair young
pirl who aspired for stage fame, took her
under his guidance and, as everybody
knows, led her to fame. Mr. Norton is now
the proprietor of the Grand Opera House in
St. Louis, the Du Ouesne Theater, Pitts-
burg, and one of the stockholders in the
American Extravaganza Company.
One afternoon early in Juno he hobbled
into his New York office on Broadway and
encountered his business manager, George
McManus, who had also been a rheumatic
sufferer for two years. Norton was sur-
prised that McManus had discarded his
cane. "Whocured you?" he asked. "I cured
myself," replied McManus, "with Dr. Will-
iams' Pink Pills."
"I was eucouraged by Mr. McManus'
cure, and as a last resort tried the Pink
Pills myself," said Mr. Norton to a Chron-
icle reporter. "You have known me for live
years, and know how I have suffered. Why
during the summer of 1898 I was on my
back at the Mullanphy hospital, in this
city, four weeks. 1 was put on the old sys-
tem of dieting, with a view to clearing those
acidulous properties in my blood that medi-
cal theorists say is the cause of my rheu-
matism. I left the hospital feeling stronger,
but the first damp weather brought with it
those excruciating pains in the legs and
back. It was the same old trouble. After
sitting down for a stretch of five minutes,
the i>ains screwed my legs into a knot when
1 arose, and I hobbled as painfully as ever.
After 1 had taken my first box of Pink Pills,
it struck mo that the pains were less trou-
blosome. 1 tried another box. and I began
almost unconsciously to have faith in the
Pink Pills. I improved so rapidly that I
could rise after sitting at my desk for an
hour and the twinges of rheumatism that
accompanied my rising were so mild that I
scarcely noticed them. During the past
two weeks we have had much rainy
weather in St. Louis. But the dampness
has not had the slightest effect in bringing
back the rheumatism, which 1 consider a
sufficient and reliable test of the efficacy of
Pink Pills. I may also say that the Pink
Pills have acted as a tonic on my stomach,
which I thought was well nigh destroved
by the thousand and one alleged remedies
1 consumed in the past five years."
Employment Agent—Why did you
leave Mrs. Goodsoul so soon? She is
baid to be a very nice woman.
Domestic—Nice! She's that stingy
she begrudges the very air yeh breathe.
"You amaze me."
•'Judge fer y'rself. Kerosene isn't
worth over ten cents a gallon, is it?"
"No."
"Well, she most had a fit 'cause I
started to pour a few drops of it in th'
kitchen stove."
Western Boy—You folks here don't
know anything- about cold weather.
Eastern Boy—We don't, eh? It's
worse than the North Pole here some-
times. Talk about cold! Phew! Why
one day this winter it was so cold I
stayed in at recess.
The Modern Invalid
Has tastes medicinally, in keeping
with other luxuries, a remedy must
be pleasantly acceptable in form,
purely wholesome in comparrison,
truly beneficial in effect and entirely
free from every objectionable quality.
If really ill he consults a physician; if
constipated he uses th® gentle family
laxative Syrup of Figs.
Servant (to Squibs, in his new board-
ing-place).—Shall I get some ice, sir?
Squibs.—No; it isn't necessary. Just
put the pitcher of water in the stove.

cine.—Mrs. W. Pickekt. Van Siclen and
Blake Aves., Brooklyn, N, Y., Oct. 20, '94.
Janitor's Wife (St Fashion Flats)—
A number of the fine ladies in the up-
per flats called on me today, and staid
here chatting- quite a while.
Janitor—You ought to feel proud.
Janitor's Wife—Y-e-s, but the trou-
ble is, I can't tell whether they came
because they liked me, or because they
wanted to g-et warm.

WHO WINS THE 9300?
A novel way to obtain a suitable
name for their great, yes, wonderful
new oats, has been adopted by the
.John A. Salzer Seed Co. They oflf^r
SilOO for a name for their new oats;
their catalogue tells all about it. runn-
ers are enthusiastic over the oat,
claiming 200 bushels can be grown per
acre right along*. You will want it.
Farmers report six tons of hay from
Salzer's Meadow Mixtures; 112 bushels
corn per acre In a dry season, and 1,101
bushels potatoes from two acres.

sure to stir up deep
interest in general
athletics. It will
boom the compara-

healthful sports of
running, jumping,
hurdling, shot put-

and will stimulate athletic clubs to
produce men capable of defending the
glory of the nation against the in-
vasion of medal hunting athletes from
abroad.

It is argued that the surest way to
get the best men for the various games
would be to have preliminary tourna-

clubs could enter its best men, and the
winners would be the opponents of the

It is thought that the representa*
tives of the New York club will be G.
W. Orton and George Jar vis for the
mile; C. Kilpatrick and S. Scoville, Jr.,
for the half; S. Chase and E. II. Cady
in the hurdles; W. N. Harrison and E.
Burke in the high jump; L. P. Sheldoa
and Stephen Chase in the broad jump;
J. S. Mitchell in the hammer throw-
ing: George XL Gray in the shot put-

yard; Lee and J. B. Small in the 220

Allen in the 440 yard.
That the American boys will have
no easy time is shown by a glance at
the records of some of the English-
men. Bredin, the quarter and half
mile crack, has run a quarter in 149 1-5,
and a half in 155^. Godfrey, it is
said, can do the hurdles in 1:10. while
Barry, the weight thrower, is almost
invincible. Bradley, the sprinter, has
gone 100 yards in ten seconds and 12G
yards in 0.11 4-5 seconds. Luytens has
done the mile in 4.19 4-3, while Horan
holds the two mile record at 9:13 4:5.

be arranged, and before many weeks
have gone by the men on both sides of
the Atlantic will begin training for
the events which will attract the at-
tention of two continents.

trieve the glory of the country and
show the Englishmen that Americans
ire as proficient in all branches of
iport as they are in yachting, which is
•aying a good deal.
As the London Athletic club has
«everal meetings for which its men are
engaged during April and May, it is
not believed the match can be brought
off until around the last of July.
There will be a good deal of rivalry

compete in the respective matches.
Home athletes ouUide of the club
English visitors. A large percentage
of the New York Athletic club men,
however, do not favor this idea, as
they want to make it purely a club
affair.
The New York club, favors eleven
events as the program of the tourna-
ment, while the Englishmen think
that nine would fill the bill. This is
a small matter, however, which will
not figure in the final arrangements.
The program favored by the New
York club is this: Hundred yard run,
220 yard run, 440 yard run, 880 yard,
one mile and five mile runs, 120 yard
hurdle, high jump, broad jump, put-
ting the 10-pound shot and throwing
the 10-pound hammer.
The men who will represent the
London club will be the flower of
British athletes.
\V. J. M. Barry, who has won the
United States, Canadian, English and
Irish championships at shot-putting
and weight-throwing, will represent
England in those classes.
F. S. Horan, president of the Cam-
bridge University Athletic association,
will represent the Englishmen in the
longdistance runs. His favorite dis-
tance is three miles, but the program
outlined calls only for one and five mile
races. W. E. Luytens, the Cambridge
crack, will run in the mile race.
In the quarter and half milo runs E.
C. Bredin of the London Athletic club,
and a phenomenally fast man, will
probabl3' *)0 the English representa-
tive. C. B. Foy of Oxford, who was
beaten in July last at the Queen's club
by L. P. Sheldon of Yale will probably
compete in the long jump. Godfrey
Shane, the champion hurdler of Kng-
land, will run in the hurdle race.
In the 100 yard dash the New Yorker
who meets Charles A. Bradley of the
Huddersfield Cricket and Athletic club,
will do well i£ he returned a winner.
Mr. Bradley for the last three years
has won the English championship at
this distance and is regarded as the
foremost sprinter of Great Britain. In
the high jump R. Williams of the Loo*
ner, has been engaged to train the
Williams College track athletic team.
Strauss and Letcher, once with Mil*
waukee, have been signed by the Deg
Moines team of the Western associa-
ciation.
Jack Stelzner defeated Billy Dooley
in a glove fight before the Pastime
Athletic club at Memphis. Tenn., re-
cently, twenty-two rounds being con-
tested.
George L. Buist of Charleston, S. C.,
has been elected captain of the Yulo

gymnasium team which will meet
Princeton in the Yale gymnasium on
Feb. 27. Capt. Buist has been drilling
his team for the event. He was the
college gymnast of Yale last year.
The assets of the New York Athletic
club on Dec. 31, 1894, were $819,397.53,
while the liabilities aggregated $495,-
491. The assets are represented by
real estate, furnishings, cash in bank
of $19,950.31, supplies on hand of $9,-
198.53 and members' house accounts of

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?
It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder :s
the purest and strongest of a)', the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet-
est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow-
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sul-
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection fron. alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

THE ONWARD HARCH
of Consumption fs
stopped short by Dr.
Pierce's Golden Med-
ical Discovery. If
you haven't waited
beyond reason,
there's complete re-
covery and cure.
Although by many
believed to be incur-
able, there is the
evidence of hundreds
of living witnesses to
. the fact that, in all
^ its earlier stages, con-
sumption is a curable
disease. Not every
^ -case, but a large per-
centage of cases, and
we believe, fully 9N
per rent, are cured
by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
even after the disease has progressed so
far as to induce repeated bleedings from
the lungs, severe lingering cough with
copious expectoration (including tubercu-
lar njattcr), great loss of flesh and extreme
einaciatioil and weakness.
Do you donbt that hundreds of such cases
j reported to us as cured by "Golden Med-
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home pnysiefan#>
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were oftefi
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery,"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod-
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases ana had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had alsoneen faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 160
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
You can then write those cured and leara
their experience. AddressWoKLD's Dispen-
