The London Times says that there
is an opinion very prevalent in that
country that tomatoes are an exciting
cause of cancer, and that having been
deluged with letters asking for information on that point, it has procured
the expert opinion of the medical committee of the London Cancer Hospital.
The committee says that tomatoes
neither predispose to, or excite cancer
formation, and that they are not injurious to those suffering from the disease, but, on the contrary, are a very
wholesome article of diet,, especially
when cooked. This is a very comfort-
but ' iQ» piece of information, for they are

pecially the steamboat explosion and
the rainstorm of real water which was
very natural indeed. The qompany
did excellent work, especially Lillian
Sackett, who, in the difficult role of
"Lisa," the white slave, won much deserved applause. Her heavy scenes
with "Lacey," the villain, were very
strong and effective. Taken.as a whole
we can safely say the production of
"White Slave" was one of the best entertainments ever given in our opera
house for the-prices of admission
charged.

A touching scene in connection with
Decoration Day exercises at Harrison
was the appearance of Mayor Green at
the door just as the program had
opened. It is well known to all his
acquaintances that he has always entertained a high degree of regard for
Decoration Day, and that his patriotic
addresses upon, this day have been
heard from the rostrum every year
since his residence in Harrison. For
months past he has been bedrridden
with wasting disease, and only a few
days ago did he rally sufficiently to
leavehisroom. Inspired by the bright
sunlight, and roused to the duties of a
patriotic American, Mr. Green, with
feeble steps, sought the assemblage of
his fellow citizens and when tenderly
assisted to the stage by Pros. Att'y
Wickham and W. A. Church, intense
silence fastened itself upon the audience. As they arranged an easy chair
for his emaciated form, many of those
present dropped a tear for the beautiful example of true devotion to our
country and her honored defenders^
The incident will long be remembered
by those who witnessed it. The few
remarks of the mayor at the close were
loudly applauded.—Harrison Cleaver.

A postage stamp conundrum is going the rounds. A young lady entered
a postoffice, handed in a dollar bill arid
said she wanted twice as many dwo's
asone*sand the balance in three's.
The clerk smilingly started in off hand
to count out the stamps, grew perplexed, commenced figuring, and figured until he got red in the face, when
the young lady politely told him she
was in no hurry, that he could figure
it out and she would call the next day
for the stamps. How, who can figure
out the problem and inform the Sen-
t_neii how many stamps were given
the young lady by the clerk, when she
called the next day?
