ADJUSTMENTS. A
"Jim, the Penman."

The largest and most critical audience of the season witnessed the production of Sir Charles Young's play, ''Jim, the Pen man, at Jacques opera house last evening" The drama is not one that calls for labored analysis, nor does it reveal any phase of human character not often treated by other playwrights. But it is thoroughly good acting play, having an air of reality about 1t that makes a spectator forget he is in a theater and seem to be watching the pro- ceedlngs of a real household. The play abounds in thrilling and sympathetic sit uations, and the pity of the audience goes out to the wronged wife, the broken hearted lover, and even to the deceitful husband who is the author of all the wrong. In the third act is one of the most power ful scenes in modern dramas. It is when Mrs Ralston discovers her name forged to subscription paper. The signature is not really forged for she remembers telling her husband to sign her name, but the handwriting is so clever an imitation of her own that she is at first amused, then surprised, and finally when she guesses the truth her face becomes stern, almost fierce MISS Jennie Eustice Mrs Ralston was very good. The character of James Ral- ston was almost perfectly sustained by F. 0. Bangs, while j. L. Ottomeyer, as Baron Hartfeld, his companion in crime, could not De Improved upon. Frank Norcross as Captain Redwood was one of the strong points of the play, and Wright Hunting ton as Louis Percival and John Matthews as Dr Pennywise were excellent in their parts; The company throughout was we'll balanced and strong one.

 Mary, Queen of Scott's."
 Not very large audience greeted Claire Scott last night at her production of ''Mary, Queen of Scotts." The play deserved a greater number of hearers, but it could scarcely have more appreciative ones. Every piece of good acting received ap- plause, and and at many points the act ing was rather better than merely good.-l Hartford Record. At the opera house Monday night.

Foresters Split on the Color Line

The Ancient Order of Foresters in Eng- land has cut loose from it's American branch because the High Court of the latter refuses to expunge the word "white" from its constitution and bylaws, so as to accept negroes as members. The English High Court has recalled all it's former signs and pass words and has issued new ones, so that no American Forester can be recognized abroad. The 14, ,000 courts in this country will now organize as a separate order. and Monday next the Ex- ecutive Council of the High Court, in Chicago, will issue a new password and key for America. It is proposed to change the name of the order here to American Order of Foresters. The regalias worn on Forester's Day will be worn no more, but instead the Executive Council of the Subsidiary High Court of America, in Chicago, has adopted a new regalia in which the officers of the different courts and representatives are to be decorated hereafter.

what AnIto Dot

The symptoms Of biliousness are
unhapp;ly quite too we'll known.
They differ in different individuals
to some extent. A bilious mar is
seldom a breakfast eater. Too fire.
quently, alas, he has an excellent APP
petite for liquors, but none for SOL
ids in the morning. HIS tongue
will hardly bear inspection at any
time; il it is not white and furred,
ii is rough at all events.
The digestive system is wholly
out Of order and diarrhea or consti-
patton may be a symptom or the
two may alternate. There are often
hemorrhoids or even loss of blood.
There may be giddiness and often
headache and acidity or iatulence
and tenderness in the pit OF the
stomach. To correct all this if not
effect a cure try Green's August
Fluwer, it costs but a trihe and
thousands attest its efficacy.
