"SUGAR IS ALWAYS GOOD"
One often distinguishes between dif
ferent kinds of ffgir, but in fact, the
product is one and the same. Sugar is
sugar, from what?ver source or raw
material it may be manufactured, but the
public distinguish different kinds and var
ieties, and are led to this belief by an
nouncements, which 1 am sorry to say
are circulated for trade purposes, and
which advertise the superiority of one
type over the other. Canada, following
the wise lead of the United States, is
doing everything she can to encourc ge a
home beet sugar industry." Sigmund

MARYLAND -"A rare feast of good

MINNESOTA "The entertainment
"Thrilled the large audience." -St. Paul
Globe. Nev. 8. 1902.
Though famous for its scenery, "On the
Bridge at Midnight" which is due here on
Wednesday Sept. 26 is not a sensational
play. Its merit is thoroughly substantial
and genuino. being a combination of ab
sorbing story and one of the most notable
scenic achievments of the mordern stage.
The celebrated mechanical triumch.
which gives the play its name, the bridge
scene, is after all only an incident in the
story of a blind mother'r devotion and a
long search for her lost child. Her path
etic quest led her to the city of Chicago,
to the river at the point where Chicago's
engineering triumph, the huge jack knife
bridge, lifts and closes its Huge valves
every day to let steamers pass. This
operation has been most faithfully imit
ated as well the structure itself, after all
the whole scene is merely an embellish
ment of the intensely dramatic narration
of the sightless mother's search. The
great valves rise and fall as they do in
the original' and a steamer passes through
in full view ef the audience but pres
eutly these incidents are absorbed into
the progress of the story. While the
main thread is of sorrow there is plenty
of comedy of the bright wholesome sort,
two characters in particular supplying it
Germany and Reddy and these are in
the hands of two exceedingly clever ac
tors. Sunshine and shadow follow each
other through all the resort to the climaxes
and scenery as natural as life and all
