 Miss Fernona Jarbeau comes to the New Haven Opera House tonight for two nights and one matinee performance. In addition to the good notices that were given her by the press of this city on the occasion of her former visit she has won much praise from
 the critics in other cities as has also her play. A writer in the Chicago Inter-Ocean said of I the piece when presented in that city: ''The musical farce Starlight chosen for the display of Miss Jarbeau's varied talents IS capable of being made one of the most suc- cessful of those ridiculously nondescript en- tertainments that have amused so nightly the public for half dozen seasons. It has an exceptional element of strength, there is . | large company of talented people especially | good as singers. As light musical organl- 1 zstion for incidental numbers the company with Miss Jarbeau is quite admirable, and in
 that particularly it is well qualified to please | the public"

Work on placing the signal will com
 mence as soon as the funds are sufficient,
 which will be at the commencement of the

 will be fully appreciated by Sound navigators.

There are upou tho skin OF every human be-
ing. child and adult alike, 2,S00,W pores.
Through these pores in tho form of insensible
perspiration is expelled more thnn one-qusrter
of the nourishment taken into the system. The
importance of keeping open these perspiration
valves upon q child's body is second only to that
of properly digesting che food eaten. 1t was to
open the pores of the skin and to ass,milate the
food that DR.. Pitcher formulated Castoria.
Loose bowels, constipation, fever and erup-
tions which are su constant among infants and
children, and which kill one-third of all child
rem before they are Eve years old, arise princi-
pally from these two causes. 1t is from the
wonderful results attendant upon the use Of
Castoria in regulating the stomach and bowels
and keeping open the pores of the skin that
Castoria acquired its worldwide reputation.
With plenty of water for the body, pure air for
the lungs and Castoria to assimilate the food,
there need be no unaccounted for sickness
among children. Castoria is a vegetable pre-
scription without morphine or other narcotic
property. Thirty years extensive use has given
it a history never attained by any other
medicine.
