A Preventive for Group

We want every mother to know that
Group can be prevented. True Group
never appears without a warning. The
first symptom is hoarseness; then the
child appears to have taken a cold or a
cold may have accompanied the hoarse-
ness from the start. After that a pecu-
liar rough cough is developed, which is
followed by the Group The time to act
is when the child first becomes hoarse; a

a rough cough has appeared the disease
may be prevented by using this remedy as

as 1t remain only a suggestion, men,

pretty girls and staid matrons hide behind

are doing something very dreadful, and
therefore very delightful, in being there at
all.
So far most of the star performers at
these curious places have been imported
from abroad. Carmencita was among the
first. She brought a beautiful face and fig

came from London concert halls with some
risky songs and some clever mimickings.

is a little man with a smooth and won

cracked and brassy, but his gestures and
~grimances have made Paris worship him.
He wrote the "Boulanger March" and his

Their marriage was a most romantic one
Mantell was born at Irvine, Ayrshire, Scot
land, thirty-fye years ago. His father was
h successful merchant, and expected his
ron to gradually work into the business
and eventually relieve him of its active
cares. But before the boys school days
ended, it became evident that he had no
aptitude for mastering the secrets of a
counting room. He devoted most of his
time and energies to amateur theatricals,
and nothing which his father could say or
do would make him give them up. This
brought about unpleasant relations be-
tween father and son, and a few months
before his eighteenth birthday young
Robert ran away from home to seek his
fortune.
His flight ended in Dublin. When he
reached there he had fully resolved to be.
come a professional actor. 1t was easier to
make the resolve than it was 10 get an en-
gaEement; but Mantell was plucky. He
managed to get enough to eat by doing odd
jobs. Not for a moment did his ambition
forsake him. He haunted the stage doors
Of theaters, and whenever he could scrape
together enough money watched perform
ances from a seat in the gallery. Indeed,
he often went hungry in order to save his
money for admission tickets. One night,
at Greenock, he went to the play and saw
an actress whose name was on the bills as
Marie Sheldon. Her part was an unim-
portant one; but Mantell fell in love with
her then and there. BY dint of many
m~aneuvers he gained acquaintance with
her. In n few months, although his for
tunes had not improved, they were mar
ried. For several years they lived in the
most precarious fashion. Mrs. Mantell
was more successful in getting occasional
engagements than was her husband.
When a. last he secured "A chance to play
n small part in an English theater he at
once attracted attention. He was OF hand
some face and fine figure. his movements
were graceful and his voice was pleasant.
Miss Wallis, an English actress Of great
prominence at that time, saw him and en-
gagged him for her support. He remained
in England for several years, winning con-
siderable success. Finally with his family
child had been born to them-he came
TO America. He began his second season
in America as Fanny Davenport's leading
man at a salary of $3.50 a week. Six years
ago he became a star, his best known play
being "Monbars." He has been uniformly
successful, and is now considered one of
the best, if not the best, romantic and
emotional actors in America
Mrs. Mantell has generally been a mem
Der of her husbands company. In 1879
something was printed about trouble be-
tween them, but nothing came of it. From
that time to this they are supposed to have
been contented and happy.
Mr.. Mahtell is personally a very pleasant
man. He is polished in manner, is finely
educated and keeps himself well informed
on what is going on in the world around

him-somethinR that can be said of COM
paratively few actors. The hard struggle
that he has passed through and the success
that has followed it have made him a
thorough man Of the world. An idea of
how earnestly he has worked to win that
success may be gathered from a statement
he made one day in conversation with the
writer. "In the first eight years Of my
career" said he, 81 impersonated not less
than $50 different characters, large and
small, on the stage. While playing with
small companies in England l have taken

Richard Ill., and by rushing behind the
scenes as quick as my lines were spoken

able to go on the next instant as Rich
mond's army A moment later / was
playing Richmond's part again"
He has become a citizen of the United
States and owns a splendid home in New
York. People say that the trouble bstween
him and his wife was begun by the silly
letters and attentions of foolish girls who
saw the actor on the stage, admired his
handsome face and fancied they were in
love with him. FRANK FALCOSER

ON Nov. 8, 1861. The report that such a
n man had been shot down on Sunday on
his way from his church to his home ex-
cited amazement and horror.
1t was soon announced, however, that
he had only been shot at. One John G.
Roth, IA wretched monomRniac, fired three
shots from 4 pistol at the doctor, but
missed. He was soon in prison and then
gave out his ease" for publication. The
yagaries of insanity are indeed endless,
but when a man is educated, a ready
writer and sensible on all topics but one,
his productions are indeed extraordinary.
Such is this man Roth. He is forty-seven
years old and a German by birth, and for
many years has been following one bust
ness or another in or near New York, and
not one of his acquaintance car remem-
Der noticing anything wrong about him"
Yet all that time he harbored a deluslon
that the clergy had organized a most in
formal conspiracy against him. that they
had ruined his business, made him a tramp,
had him poisoned, intercepted his letters
and alienated his friends. He wus also in
volved in the Stewart will business, he
thinks. All this he gives to the public in
a fairly well written article, and intends
to publish in a book with sixteen start
ling cuts, revealing every stage of this
truly Internal plot" Such is insanity.
All, well may thinkers pronounce it the
greatest of all calamities, and all men pray
to be delivered from such a curse.

FOUND DEAD.
Suicide Of Clark woodman, q Millionaire
Grain SpeculRtor.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2O.-The dead body of
Clark Woodman, one of the wealthiest
citizens, OF Omaha, Neb., and an intlu-
ential director in the Linseed Oil Trust,
was found this afternoon in his room at
the Grand Pacific hotel.
The general supposition Is that it was
case OF suicide, The cause for such an
act is still most peculiar mystery and
all the circumstances do not by any
means confirm the theory OF suicide
which is however strengthened by o
few strange and unexplained facts.
Mr.. Woodman arrived ut the Grand
Pacific last Monday night, No one in
the office remembers seeing him after
he retired to his room ut that time. On
Wednesday evening chambermGid en-
tered tho room aud found him lying
across the bed fully dressed, with the
exception OF his coat, Hearing the
sound OF his breathing she supposed he
was merely sleeping. She did not re-
enter the room until this afternoon.
She found the body still In the same
position, but the face was horribly dis
colored, and the odor of the room in
dIcated that he had been dead some
time.
DR.. R. W. Steger was at once sum
moned, and found that such was the
case. The condition OF the body made
plain that he was breathing his last
when seen by the chambermaid on
Wednesday night. On the table were
two bottles, one containing ammonia and
the other spirits OF camPhor. The bot
ties stood on little piece Of paper on
which was written: "S OF. chlorotorm,
l or. ammonia" Something else had
been started below this on the paper,
but it was not completed. A stamped
and sealed envelope addressed to ii, q.
Clark, Omaha, Neb., was also on the
table. The handwriting on: the en-
velope and on the paper did not cor
respond.
Mr.. Woodman was member OF the
grain commission firm OF Woodman y
Harris with offices Mt OH Rookery build
ing. The current rumor this afternoon
was that Mr.. Woodman, whose estimat:
ed wealth is in the neighborhood OF
Sl,0OO,0OO, had lost a large part OF his
fortune during the recent rise in the
prices OF grain on the Board OF Trade,
No one could be found to confirm this
rumor
His family affairs we're OF the happiest
nature. He was tall, handsome man
OF about fifty-fve, with snow white hair
and moustache. He was not y drinking
man nor did he indulge in any known
dissipation. His friends hope, despite
the circumstances, that death resulted
from heart disease.
