A MUNICIPAL THEATER.
City of Red Wing, Minn., Managing a
Playhouse Bequeathed by a Citizen,
The first practical step toward the
establishment of an endowed theater
in this country has been taken by the
little town of Red Wing, Minn., boast
ing not more than 8^000 souls in popu
lation and yet having the distinction
of being the only municipality in the
country which owns, controls and man
ages a theater for the improvement
and amusement of Its citizens, writes
L. F. Pierce in The World Today.
The theater, which cost $80,000, was
the gift of the late Theodore B. Shel
don, a citizen of Red Wing, who had
accumulated wealth by wise invest
ments in real estate. -He was a mod
est but public spirited man, one whos^
heart was wrapped up in the progress
of his community, though he never
sought for or accepted civic honors.
On his death it was found that he had
made a gift of a theater to his city.
In the bequest it was stipulated that
the new playhouse should not be used
for gain, either private or public, but
should be so managed as to become an
educational factor in the community
for the better development of the ar
tistic feeling both in those who may
tread its boards and in those te whom
it is a gift.
There are no free admissions, and
the citizens of Red .Wing are expected
to support the Institution by paying
the moderate charge of $1 a seat.
“No cheap plays, but moderate prices,”
ki the motto ot this municipal theater,
which as the first experiment of its
kind is* being watched with keen in
terest by critics, jmanagers and patrons
of the drama.. It i» the first practical
»tep toward the divorce of the Amer
ican stage from commercialism.
A CHANGE AT BREVARD INSTITUTE.

Admiral Porter was forever running
into print, and this was 'a source of
great annoyance to Grant, who was
his stanch friend.
“What do you think of Porter as an
admiral?” was asked of the general on
one occasion.
“Why,” replied Grant, with a quiet
smile, “he would be the greatest ad
miral since Nelson if he had never
learned to write.”

Just where he fell.—New Yoxic Mail.
From Southern Christian Advocate.
To the Menihers of the Woman\s Home
Mission Society, and the Friends of
Bi'evard Institute:
In the good Providence of God,
the educational and institutional
betterment work of the Woman’s
Home Mission Society, is devel
oping and enlarging so rapidly
the executive board faces a con
stantly recurring problem in the
effort to find the right leader for
each new institution.
For more than a year the board
has known that its youngest
mission, the Vashti Industral
School for indigent homeless
girls, located at Thomasville, Ga.,
and the only one of this character
under the management of the
society, must have a more worthy
equipment and a strong, experi
enced principal.
Mr. E. E. Bishop, who for the
past four years has been in
charge of the Brevard Institute,
and who has so successfully
and satisfactorily managed and
developed that work, has seemed
to the educational committee to
be the one worker in all our
ranks fully competent and quali
fied to wisely plan and develop
this new school and home.
Besides the fifty girls now in
the school to be cared for and
kept employed in quarters not
sufficiently large for half the
number, a large and expensive
building must be gotten ready
before another winter term,
while a number of smaller build
ings and forty acres of land are
to be put in order for the indus
tries projected. For all of this
work, Mr. Bishop’s experience as
a business man, as well as a
school man, has thoroughly fitted
him.
The board is not unmindful of
the fact that in asking Mr. and
Mrs. Bishop, to make this
change* it has asked a sacrifice^
but with the spirit of true mis
sionaries they have consented,
and Mr. Bishop will leave early
in July for his new field of labor,
Mrs. Bishop and the children
joining him in the fall.
Prof. Carl H. Trowbridge, who
succceds Mr. Bishop as the prin
cipal of Brevard Institute, comes
to the work with the best recom
mendations as a true Christian
gentleman, and an experienced
educator.
He is a graduate of Prichett
College, Missouri, with a two
years special course at Harvard
University,
Prof. Trowbridge was for four
years a member of the faculty of
Central College, Lexington, Mo.,
and for the past five years has
been teaching in Washington
University, St. Louis, Mo.
To our missionary workers it
will be of interest to know that
the new principal is the oldest
son of Mrs. J. A. Trowbridge,
for many years the president of
the Woman’s Foreign Missionary
Society of the Missouri Confer
ence. A younger brother is in
city mission work in Chicago,
and still another has completed
his course at Chicago University
this year, and in the fall will take
a position as associate teacher of
geology in that institution.
Prof, Trowbridge’s wife is the
daughhter of Dr. James A. La-
nius, for more than a quarter of
a century a teacher of wide repu-
tion, and a local preacher in the
Missouri Conference.
Miss Annie Lanius, another
daughter of this noble father, is
a missionary to Japan under the
general board of missions.
The change at Brevard Insti
tute has not been made without
much prayer, and the confident
belief that God has decided all
the way, we therefore bespeak
for Prof. and Mrs. Trowbridge
the hearty co-operatioa of all our
Methodist people who are inter
ested in Christian education, and
Chanei\ge from Brevard Drug Co.
The Brevard Drug Co. are seeking
the worst case of dyspepsia or con
stipation in Brevard or vicinity to
test Dr. Howard^s new specific for
the cure of those diseases.
So confident are they that this re
markable medicine will effect a last
ing cure in a sho»*t time that they
offer to refund the money should it
not be successful.
In order to secure the quickest pos
sible introduction they will sell a
regular fifty cent package of this
medicine at half price, 25 cents.
This specific of Dr. Howard^s will
cure sick headache, dizzy feelings,
constipation, dyspepsia and all forms
of malaria and liver trouble. It does
not simply give relief for a time; it
makes permanent and complete
cures.
It will regulate the bowels, tone
up the Vihole intestinal tract, give
you an appetite, make food taste
good and digest well and increase
vigor. Joy and happitieSv® will take
the place of that “don’t care whether
I live or die” feeling.
Take advantage of the Brevard
Drug Co.’s challenge and secure a
bottle of Dr. Howard’s specific at half
price, with their personal guarantee
to refund your money if it does not
help you.
There is no need of suffering with
constipation, dyspepsia or liver dis^
«ase when y qu can get sixty doses of
a scientific medicine for their cure
like Dr. Howard’s specific for the
small sum of 25 cents. jy 5 19
