What is a cold in the head? Medical
auicc!h. critics say 1t is due to atmospheric
germs, uneven clothing of the body,
rapid cooling when in a perspiration,
dc. The important fact is. that a cold in
the head is genuine rhinitis, an in
flammation of the lining membrane of
the nose, which, when unchecked, is
certain to produce catarrhal condition
for catarrh is essentially "cold"
which nature is no longer able to "re-
solve" or throw off. Ely's Cream
Balm has proved its superiority, and
sufferers from cold in the head should
resort to it before that common ailment
becomes seated and ends in obstinate
catarrh. 1t

DOWNING AS "sPARrACUs."
The Initial Presentation of'The Gladiator
atthe Opera House.

The Initial Presentation OfS'The Gladiator
atthe Opera House.
There can be no question of the ability
of Mr.. Robert Downing. Last evenings
presentation of ''The Gladiator" stamps
him as a great actor, fitted in all respects
to rank with Forest and the lamented Nc
Cullough. In some respects he even ex-
GELS them, and these, his earlier efforts IN
tragedy, hold forth rich promise of what
is to come when years Of experience have
enriched the phenomenal natural talent
with which he has been endowed. The
''Spartacus," presented to us last
evening, is very different sort OF Bar
harlan from what we have been accustomed
to seeing. Still full of the vigor
and strength which characterized the ma
tive of the Thracian mountains, and hred
as he should be with the fierce hatred OF
the Roman sonaturally the result oil the
indignities heaped upon him and his coun-
trymen, the ''Spartacus" OF Mr.. Downing
contains little to suggest the role as essay
ed by Mccullough. There is total abb
sence of the ranting and below
ing 40 characteristic OF that
actor, while the whole conception
of the shepherd warrior seems to be diner
ent. Mr.. Downing brings prominently
forward the calm, philOsophic leader and
the careful General, giving place at the
proper time to the mad vengeance and
bloodthirstiness of the maniac, berett oil
wife and child through the tOolhardiness
of his brother, or anon the gentlen eSS Of
the husband and father, when scenes oil
blood and thoughts ofwar were temporarily
laid aside. Generally his acting was natural
and easy, and at times the On-loOKers forgot
all else but the scene upon the stage, and
leaned forward with bated breath and
clenched fingers, while they followed the
movements of the artist before them. The
appreciation of the audience was shown IN
the frequent and hearty applause, eSpec-
ially at the close of the fourth act when
Mr.. Downing was called before the cur
tain. At the close of the tragedy
the audience rose and the building
rang with enthusiastic plauditS, to which
Mr.. Downing responded by bowling his
thanks: A large number Of ladies and
gentlemen repaired to the stage few
moments later and quite . pleasant little
reception was held.
Mr.. DOwning's support was good through.
out. Especial mention must he made OF
the "Phasarius" of Mr.. Henry Aveling and
the 'Crassus" of Mr.. Frank Lane. Mr..
w. ID. Ingram as 'FloruS" was very salts
factory. Miss Mittens vii lett, rs Son
oma,'j did the Thracian wife to perfection,
and Miss Gale Forrest rs julia was
lovely enough to warrant the youthful
"Florus" in his steadfast devotion. The
scenery proved to be everything promised
by Manager Mack, the arena and the
camp of ''SpartacuS," being particularly
striking
"The Gladiator" will be repeated this
evening.

Wheeling, held its second meeting in the
rooms of the Y. NJ. c. A., Tuesday after

the weather sufficient number of ladies
were present to transact considerable
amount of business In addition to the
officers elected and managers already APP
pointed Mrs. Lyle was elected Superin-
tendent, and Mrs. Lop and Mrs. G. K.Mc-
Mecheu were added to the list of mana
gers.
Associations of this kind have been
formed in all the large cities, and many
of the small ones, and are working success
fully, doing much good and giving en-
ploymcnt to great number of women.
In small cities they have been even more
successful than in large ones, owing to
their expenses not being so great. In
Mount Sterling, KY, place of only five
thousand, the Exchange has been working
successfully for over year, the lunch
room being most decided success. To
show what is done in these exchanges one
item could be mentioned, that of biscuits
alone, where the amount sold and money
realized incredible, and other articles in
proportion.
In connection with the salesrOom the
exchange of this city will run alunchroom
and employment bureau to supply good
help to houSekeepers and homes and work
to women seeking and needing it. The
location they have chosen is in the business
part of our city, and they expect the lunch
room to afford q pleasant aud private place
for ladies', both of this city and abroad,
while shopping, where they can go both
for rest and refreShment.
In starting this work the expenses OF fit
ting up will be considerable and any do
nations will be thankfully received, money,
tables, chairs, show cases, carpet, dishes,
glassware, table cloths, napkins, towels,
tins, groceries, in fact anything that would
be suitable for lunch and salesroom.
For the opening of the Exchange for lunch,
will be needed jelles, pickles, cooked
meats, bread, etc, any Of which Will be
very acceptable.
While they shall for the present start on
a small scale, as time advances they hope
to branch out in various directions to meet
the wants of the people.
