AT THE THEATRE.

Marie".-.The Four Nights shew,

Miss Agnes Herndon In LA Belle
Marie".-.The Four Nights show,
Miss Agnes Herndon. lady possessed
of great dramatic ability. and with a
variety of versatile talent that enables her
to appear first as a sweet, light>hearted
country lass. and with little exertion
transforms herself into the cunning yet
vindictive French woman Of the world.
with all the fire and desperation of a
woman whose one thought was TO avenge
the wrong which had blighted her life,
made her first appearance at Hsrper's
theatre last evening. The audience was
small. q fact due to the cold night and the
prevailing influenza. no doubt. but all
who were there were of the most sppre-
ciative mind naturally. and gave an en-
thusiastic reception 10 all the strong
POINTS and climaxes of the lady's acting,
and at the end of the fourth act the star
was called before the curtain.
Miss Herndon is woman of splendid
appearance ard grace and is gifted in the
highest sense. She well merits the
plsudits she has received everywhere
The story of the play Is good one and
interest in it does not lag from first TO
last. II tells of young man, the younger
son of a wealthy merchant. who is sup,
posed to ''go wrong" but his small fall
ings have only been msgnified by an ell
der brother. who thinks the handsome
youngster stands in his way. The elder
brother Is. however. inveigled into love
affair with pretty young French woman
who blackmails him. and through her the
worthy father finds that the son whom he
trusted was unworthy. and the younger
born, whom he drove from his home into
souallor and poverty. was in reality
the good one. The dual role Of Jean
Ingleside" and of the French adventures
LA Belle Marie" is assumed by Miss
Herndon, and the climax is brought about
when she throws off the disguise of the
French woman when her object is &C.
complished, and she reveals herself to
the treacherous George Lighton," who
has wrouged her. wronged his parents
and wronged his brother, as Jean In>
gleside. the county girl of yore.
The support was generally poor,
though the George Ingleside" OF Mr..
VIM. Hatch was fiue Interpretation of a
difficult role. The same play will be re-
peated by Miss Herndon tonight. and no
one who attends will fail to ackno Wedge
the entertainment one of the best that
has appeared at Harper's this season.
There should be large audience.

BILE to emulate in action and effect by the

the effect of the old fashioned violent

They weakened the intestines- the Bit.

bowels inactive, because incapacitated by
ensuing feebleness. The Bitters, on the
contrary. and because it enables, not
forces. them to act-a vast and fortunate
difference-perpetuates their activity and
regularity. The liver is beneficially slim

medicine, which easily conquers, also,

The blessings OF the Newspaper.

In a recent sermon. the Rev. 7. Dewitt
Talmsge propounded the following
thoughts upon the newspaper: Il could
preach a whole sermon on the everlasting
blessing Of q good newspaper. A good
newspaper Is the grandest temporary
blessing that God has given to the people
OF this country. In the first place all the
people read the newspapers. and the
newspapers furnish the greater proper
ton of the reading to the people. They
don't read books. The old people look
for the deaths. the young people the
marriages, the business men the business
and financial columns, and those who are
unemployed read the want ADVERTISE
ments. Great libraries make few INTEL
ligent men and women, but newspapers
lift the nation into the sunlight. My
idea of good newspaper is a mirror OF
life itself. Some people complain be.
cause the evil of the world is reported as
well as the good. The evil must DC re-
ported as well as the good, or how will
we know what to guard against or what
to reformH There is chance for dis
elimination as to how much space shall
be given to such things as prize fights.
but the newspaper that presents the fair
and the beautiful and the bright side of
life is Misrepresentation. That family
Is best qualified for the duties of life who
have told to them not only what good
there ia In the world, but the evil, and is
told to select the good and reject the
evil

The first coal shipped into this market

hence given the name it still bears. 1t is
well known to be the best sold in the
