She Reveals for the Benefit of Women.
New York world.l
Several years ago the American public were
aroused by the entree upon the stage of little
lady who had been previously but little an
nounced. She was one of an innumerable num-
Der of aspirants for public favor and had no in
strumentality, aside from her own talents to
cause recognition. In spite of this fact, how
ever, she quickly achieved n warm place in
the heart of the public which she has continued
to hold ever since. When it was announced,
therefore, that Miss Maude Granger would
star the coming season in the play 6 Her Sc
cond Love-" written by Mr.. John l.. Stevens,
it was only natural that unusual interest should
be manifested not only in theatrical circles, but
in other branches of the community. This
was specially the case, as it was known that
Miss Granger had for the past year, been in
exceedingly delicate health and the determine
alton to star in u strong emotional play was
the more surprising. One of the staff of this
paper was accordingly deputized to see the
popular lady and verify the rumor or announce
its incorrectness
Miss Changers countenance is familiar to
nearly every one in the United States. 1t is u
face once seen never to be forgotten. Fea-
lures remarkable in their outline and contour
are surmounted by pair of large and deep
eyes Indicative of the greatest soul power. 1t
is easy to see where Miss Granger obtains the
ability to portray characters of the most emo
tional nature. She possesses within herself the
elements of feeling without which no emotion
can be conveyed to an audience. The man of
news found the lady at her home in this city
and was accorded quiet welcome. 1t was
evident at once that she was in greatly im-
proved health, which tho expression and color
of her countenance both indicated.
SIS it true Miss Granger that you contem-
plate starring tour the coming season.
eyes, indeed. My season begins in Chicago
on the 10th of July. From there go to San
season through the Eastern and Western
States"
Are you confident your health will permit
such an undertaking"
A ringing laugh was tho first reply to this
question, after which she said:
Certainly. 1t is true / havs been i'll for
the past two years, but now j am wholly re-
covered. Few people can have any idea Of the
strain conscientious actress undergoes in es-
saving an emotional part. 1t il necessary to
put ones whole soul into the work In order to
rightfully portray the character. Thisnec
tates an utter abandonment of ones porsonali-
ty and an assumption of the character por-
trayed. IL this is an emotional part it is neces-
sary to feel the same emotions the part is sup
posed to feel. For more than n year have
actually cried each night in certain passages of
n part | was playing. The audience consid-
cred it art. Probably it was, but those were
none the less real tears and the effect was none
the less trying upon my health.
But do you anticipate avoiding this in the
futurey'
"Not in the least. expect to have just as
great n strs.in as before, but with restored
health and knowledge of how to retain it l
do not fear"
"You speak of knowledge of how to re-
tain health Will you please explain what
you mean by that|
"You must be aware that women by their
very natures are subject to troubles and aifiic-
tions unknown to the sterner sex. The ame
of these troubles is legion, but in Whatever
form they may come they are weaknesses which
interfere with every ambition and hope in life.
/ believe thousands of noble women are to-day
suffering agonies of which even their best
friends and relatives know little or nothing,
and when reflect upon it / confess it makes
me sad. Now all this misery arises largely
from an ignorance of the laws of life or neg
lect to carefully observe them. | speak from
the depths of bitter experience in saying this,
and am thankful to know the means of re-
storation, and how to remain in perfect
health"
"Please explain more fully"
swell, L have found n remedy which seems
specially adapted for this very purpose. 1t is
pure and palatable and controls the health and
life as, believe, nothing else will. 1t is really
invaluable and if all the women i'll America
were TO use it am quite sure most of the suf-
fering and many deaths might be avoided"
"What is this wonderful remedyy"
"Warner's Safe Cure"
"And you use itY'
Constantly"
"And hence believe you will be able to so
through the coming season successfully? 7"
Il am quite certain of it.
"a few questions more, Miss Granger. Will
YOU please give me q list of the parts you have
created and the plays you have taken part in
since your first appearance in public!'

As tho writer was returning home he Tell
into train of musing and wondered ii all the
women in the land who are suffering could only
know Miss Changers experience and the re-
markable results achieved by the pure remedy
she used, how much suffering might DO avoided
