The Twelfth Night.

At the Hollis Street Theater, last night, Miss Julia Marlowe appeared as Juliet in Shakespeare's tragedy. making the fifth character which this young lady has attempted in the course of her short engagement here. Of the five it Is by great odds the most difficult, for all the passion there may be found in Parthenia. Julia, Pauline or Viola is as naught com pared with that which absorbs the being of old Capulet's daughter So full of interest was the performance with so much that was really fine that it is a cross to be compelled to let the occasion pass with hardly more than the bare record.-Boston Transcript. At the opera house Thursday evening.
 Reuben Glue.
 The opera house stage was covered knee deep with gore last night, meta phorically speaking, The scene was located in Australia and every man carried revolver and big knife. Reuben Glue all the way from Vermont, carried two guns in his trousers pockets and was continually doing things a Vermont granger would never think of. The novelty of the play kept the small audi ence amused, although most of the situ- ations were ridiculous. Johnnie Prindie makes an excellent Yankee. but his play of Reuben Glue must be toned down to be SucceSS.

The Reason Why

Ayers Pills are so popular is, that
while always reliable as a cathartic
medicine, they never leave any ill
effects. This is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from Gallo
mel or any other dangerous drug In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
be old or young, they may be conf
IDENTIFY administered.
In the Southern and Western States,
where arrangements of the liver are so
general, Ayers Pills have proved an i'm
estimablc blessing. ID. W. Baine, New
Berne, N. c., writes:
81 suffered long time with stomach
and liver troubles. tried various rem.
edies, but received no benefit until
commenced taking Ayers Pills. These
pills benefited me at once. took them
regularly for q few months, and my
health was completely restored"
Throughout New England, next to
lung diseases, Stomach and Bowel
Complaints are the most prevalent.

A corresp ondent who is we'll pos
ted, writes:
"Why is it that the dredgers are
more persevering in dredging upon
forbidden bars whenever the legisla-
ture is in session than at other
times? We are led to believe that
they are put up to do so that they
may excite the sympathy of the
western members and make them
believe that the dredgers are terri
bly, imposed upon 5y the State au-
thorities. These men are aliens to
the State-in most cases desperate
adventures-are not voters and have
no interest in common with US
They are taking the bread from
1921 honest Woodworking citizens
of this county, whose personal in
terest is wrapped up in the interest
Of the State men who observe the
laws and rest from their labors on
the Sabbath day, while the dred-
gers siege upon that day and other
days that good citizens are reques
ted to observe, to commit their de-
predatiols.
These are pungent facts and
ought to have weight with the Gen.
eral Assembly. The facts as set forth
by our correspondent have equal
weight in all the counties of the
State bordering on either side of
the Chesapeake bay. As wise and
considerable legislators they should
not suffer their sympathies to rest
upon outside adventures and inflict
on our own citizens want and des-
titution.

Pew OF our citizens are aware OF
the vast improvements that fare
going on in the upper end OF this
county. At Curtis Bay in the Fifth
district, company known as the
Santh Baltimore Harbor and I'm
provement company have purchased
somc20 zoo acres of Anne Arun-
del soil, large portion of which is
being laid out into streets and aven-
ues and many houses are already
built. The South Baltimore car
works located on this tract of land,
are employing 200 skilled workmen
in the manufacture of railway
freight cars. Fifty of the new
dwellings are occupied, ard a large
brick hotel IS in course of erection,
also a stone church to cost $50, 600,
will be built by the heirs of the
Crisp estate. All the brick used in
the construction of these buildings
are manufactured on the spot from
clay equal to any in the county.
The B. & o. have large interests at
this point. and spend good deal of
money in building up the town,
which presents many advantages for
the erection of manufactures for
various purposes.
South Baltimore, which is the
name of this new town, is destined
to become a great manufacturing
centre, and we now serve notice on
Mayor Latrobe, that under no cir
cumstances will he be permitted to
gobble it up as food for the insati
able nav of Baltimore city.
