A Moman's Discovery.

Another wonderful discovery has been
made and that too 10y lady in this county.
Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for
seven years she withstood its severest tests,
but her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three months
she cuughed necessarily and could not sleep.
She bought of US a bottle of Dr. King New
discovery for Consumption and was so much
relieved on taking first dose that she slept all
night and with one bottle has been miracu:
lousy cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.

9 BOY Hamlets.''

John Howard Payne enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the first American Hamlet
who was born in America, and he had
been born but seventeen years when he
played Hamlet at the Park Theatre in
May, 1909. He was the first OF the long
line of infant phenomena in this country,
and the original boy Hamlet Fired
by the marvellous-and ridiculous-suc-
cess of Master Betty in England, he went
upon the stage with little professional
training, and with barely sufficient intel
ligence TO play the parts of Rosencrantz
or Guildenstern, but he drew enormous
crowds, aud put money in his purse. Two
years later, Cd April5, 1871, he introduced
the tragedy of Hamlet" 20 Albany audi
ences; but he is remembered by posterity
as a playwright rather han as a player,
and as the author OF one immortal song.
His Hamlet naturally was as immature
and as amateur as ii was premature.
Other juvenile tragedians followed
Master Payne upon the stage when they
should have been in bed, notably Master
George f. Smith, who played Hamlet at
the Park Theatre on March 26, 1922; and,
very notably, Master Joseph Burke, who
played Tom Thumb In Dublin in 1924,
when he was I'VE years old. and who was
a recognized star in the United States in
1880, when he was twelve, and in such
parts as Shylock, Doctor Pangloss, Doc
tor OIlapod, Sir Abel Handy, Sir Giles

Frank Mortimer, a carpet layer, who
was arrested yesterday for embezzling
from Thomas j. Stewart, had an exami-
nation before Justice Stilsing this morn
ing. He pathetically read a statement in
which he declared he had no intention of
stealing; that the money which he took
he believed to be his, as he worked for it
during the noon hour and in the evening.
He declared that he would return the
money if given a chance and begged not
to be sent TO prison. Mr.. Stewart said
that Mortimer had been forgiven once
and one man swore that he said the
money was Mr.. Stewards. Mortimer
was committed for triaL.

They all managed to extrieate them
selves after wading knee deep in water

stopped near the cemetery by three
thieves who wanted his valnables. As
runners do not handicap themselves with
much weight all he carried was q key.
He informed them that it might open
the safe at the Lorillards' rooms, but
the safe was constantly guarded by sew

the three strangers and use them as

HOLY FAMILY FAIR.
1t Has Proven q Great Succession
Hudson Notes.

Hudson Notes.
The fair for che benefit OF the Church
of the Holy Family, which has been held
in Holy Family Hall for the past two
weeks has been most successful.
Though the last night Of the fair was
announced to be Saturday, the members
of the congregation requested Father
Grief, the pastor, to extend the
time until next Thursday.
A number of contests are in progress
and have proved both interesting and
profitable.
The contest between the Rev. Father
Grief and the Rev. Father Huygen for a
gold headed zane was very spirited. but
the friends of the pastor were too many
for the curate, and Father Grief carried
off the prize.
The members of the Holy Family Bene-
violent Society are having a pleasant
time among themselves in their contest
for a gold watch.
A rifle is the bone of contention which
causes the members of st. Georges
Military Company to spend their money,
and a handsome gold cross ha impover-
ished the young men of the parish, who,
in their anxiety to see it adorn their
favorite fair one, think not Of expense.
The parishioners are willing TO prolong
the fair indefinitely, but Father Grieff
announces Thursday as positively the
last night.
