STAGE BEAUTIES, NAMES.
What the Fair Creatures are called In
Private Life.

The practice Of using stage names is
growing. says the New York Graphic.
Other women than actresses have 'em.
When they are doing anything for them
selves, whether it be type writing or pic.
ture painting, they often find it incon-
venient to change their names when
they get married.
When an actress UnaTries an actor, the
actor may have a stage name, and to
get down to bed rock as to her real cog
nomen requires as much digging as is
done by those industrious paragraphers
who tell IA that Queen Victoria and the
Princess of Wales would be called if
they were plain citizens.
Here are the legal titles of some of the
simpler cases among the popular act

| Lillian Russell was known for some
time in private as Mrs Edward Solo,
mon, but it afteTward appeared that this
was only title of courtesy. She was
once Mrs. David Braham, and it is not
clear that she is not so still. Lut it would
hardly be safe to spring that name on
her.
Mrs. Mckee Rankin IS still known
among the old stagera as Kitty Blanch-
ard, the name she acted under for years,
but the mass of modern playgoers know
her only by her husbands name.
Agnes Robertson is Mrs. Dion Bouci-
cault and Miss Louisa Thorndyke con.
tends for the same title.
Nine. Modjeska is really Nine. Bozenta.
When she first came here her managers
billed her as the Countess Bozenta, but
she dropped that entirely professionally
and privately when she went to Eng
land and has never resumed it since,
though some people here still address
her so. Titles are sacred things IN Eu-
rope, and any irregularity about them
is dangerous to the pretender's liberty
Modjeska is the name of the lady's first
husband. For woman to keep her
own name is well enough, but 1t must
require some philosophy in No when
she retains that of No, /.

INFANTlIE
SKIN DISEASES.

Our oldest child, now six years Of age, when al
infant six months old was attacked with viru
lent. malignant skin disease. All ordinary RENE
dies failing, we called our family physician, who
attempted to cure it, but il spread with almost
incredible rapidty, until the lower portion Of the
little fellows person frpm the middle Of his bach
down to his knees was one solid rash ugly, pain
full blotches, and malicious. We had no rest a
night, no peace by day. Finally, we were tolc
so try the Cuticura Remedies. The effect was
simply marvellous. In three or four weeks a com
pete cure was wrought, leaving the little fellows
person as white and healthy as though he nevel
had been attacked. In md opinion your valuable
remedies saved his life, and today he is a strong
healthy child, perfectly well no repetition Of the
disease having ever occurred.

What a Time

People formerly had, trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with its film OF
magnesia vainly Disgusting its bitter
ness and what a contrast to Ayers
Pills, that have been well called "med-
icated sugar-plums" the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at dose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed.
j. T. Teller, NJ. D., Of Chittenango
N. Y, expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. He
says: Ayers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all tho
Pills formerly popular here, and think
It must be long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
"Safe, pleasant, and certain in
their action" is the concise testimony
OF DR.. George Z. Walker, of Martins

a Brutal Husband and Fsther.

COLUMBIA, S. c., April 27.-Jasper
Davis WAS hanged at Anderson at 80
O'Clock to-day. All morning he appeared

doomed man and were Kept out with
difficulty. The hanging WAS witnessed by
only q few persons.
Jasper Davis is the second white man
hanged in South Carolins in many years.
He was convicted of the murder of his
wife after brutally abusing her.
His brutality was believed to be the re-
suit ofinsanity, caused by Indigestion, and
he was sent to the insane asylum for six
months, where he apparently recovered.
Returning to his home he SO brutally
treated his wife and five children that he
was compelled to leave. In September,
1886, he tried to induce his wife to allow
him to return so her home but she re-
fused and she threatened to kill her on
the 25th of September. She feared he
would execute his threat and removed
her five children to her brothers. Davis
evidently visited home that night and
next day laid in wait for his wife's re-
turn. His plans were well laid, for early
next morning the mother and children
walked unsuspectingly through grove
