Grand Dramatic Attraction.

Robert Downing, styled by some of the
best dramatic critics of the country as
the Modern Forrest" will appear at the
Staunton opera house next Monday
evening in his latest and greatest su :
cess, THE Saracen," which is just now
making great talk in theatrical circles.
Never in the annals of American theat-
ricals has a legitimate play met with
such phenomenal success as has ss1,he
Saracen." The characters are not new
to the stage. MFR. Downing assumes the
part of an Arabian slave, which gives
him great opportunities to display his
abilities as an actor of the first nagni-
tude, He is supported by Eugene Blair,
lady whose wonderful beauty and rare
histrionic abilities have made her one of
the most popular leading ladies on the
American stage. "The Saracen'' will be
magnificently mounted. The costumes
worn are said to be the finest ever seen
in any legitimate production in this
country. Those worn by Miss Blair
should be seen by every lady in Staun-
ton. They are marvels of skill from the
first dressmakers of Paris and America.
The Saracen" will undoubtedly be the
strongest attraction visiting Staunton
this season.

Suffering among poor people of Staun-
ton, both white and eolored, has evil
IDENTIFY been prevented to a large extent
by the timely action of the city mission,
for which Mrs. w. l.. Olivier. secretary,
receives contributions. This benefieent
organization is doing a commendable
work. and its requests for aid should be
responded to Literally. Though poor
people in Staunton are not usually pre-
pared for continuous cold weather, like
that of the last three weeks, John Bryan,
superintendent of the poor, reports APP
plications for assistance not more numer-
Gus than in the mild winters of the last
several years. The city poor house now
has eighteen inmates. 1t has had as
many as twenty-five. 1t is gratifying to
know that the poor are faring as we'll as
they are, but it must be remembered
that much suffering is kept away from
them only by charitable contributions
What can be spared should therefore be
cheerfully given.

Died at Winona, on Thursday morning,

Pitts, wife of Major j. G. Pitts, aged
~ years.
The announcement of the sudden
death of Mrs. Pitts was received in Bis
marok with deep sorrow by the large
circle Of friends and acquintances, who
had known and loved her from her days
OF childhood and youth, which were
&spentin this city.
There are few among the old settlers
who did not know and esteem her, and
all have a kind word for her memory.
Susie las she was affectionately called,
came to Bismarck just after the Custer
massacre in 1876 with her mother, Mrs.
Ellen Kelley, who was the widow of a
member Of the Seventh cavalry, and the
bright and amiable little girl, who grew
in q few years to beauteous ~womanhood,
was a ~favorite with all who knew her.
After her marriage to Major Pitts, she
removed to Winona, where she was
greatly loved for her kind and generous

An Tribute.

s Judge Francis pays the following trib-
ute to E. T. Herrick:
Mr.. E. T. Herrick, who died 80 sud-
denly at Williamsport, in Emmons coun-
ty, frequently appeared before me when
I was judge of Sixth Judicial district in
territorial days, and I have a very pleas
ant remembrance of him.
He was associated with me last sum-
mer in the defense of a young man, tried
at Williamsport for murder, and I shall
never forget his untiring zeal and
marked ability in the case.
AS a lawyer he was studious and dis
corning, quick to discover the vital point,
as a husband and father considerable and
afectionate, as a citizen useful and en-
terprising, as a friend true, and with it
all he was modest and unassuming.
May there be a good place for him in
the life beyond.

SUICIDE UY AMMONIA.
The Terrible Agony Does Not Preven mt Its
Use.

The Terrible Agony Does Not Prevent Its
Use.
No poison brings death with more
maddening agony than ammonia, but
that fact does not seem to discourage the
suicide. The man Harrowitz, who de-
liberately swallowed a fatal dose of the
drug in New York recently, is one of the
many who have gone the ammonia route
to death in spite of the excrutiating pain.
DR.. Blyth has recently recorded thirty
cases OF ammonia poisoning in the small
London district of which he is health Of
ticer; Professor Mitchell mentions twen-
ty-two cases, and four have occurred
during the short time DR.. Jenkins has
been connected with the coroner's office
in New York.
Cases of slow poisoning from ammo
mia are of constant occurrence among
men who work in it's manufacture, or
even in decomposing substances which
give it off in considerable quantities.
Ammonia, slowly and from day to day
taken into the system, causes the COM
plexion to lose it's freshness, and the skin
of men who get heavily impregnated
with 1t has a d~isagreeable, blotched and
discolored appearance.
Taken into the stomach from day to
day in even the small quantities used to
adulterate food, such as baking ~powder,it
not. only Injuries the complexion but at
tacks the lining of the stomach. and
is the source of much general ill
health.
The recent rapid increase in the use of
ammonia for various purposes, and the
consequent increase in it's manufacture
have made it one of the most easily OBJ
tanned poisons and, although everybody
is familiar with it in some form, there is
a surprising amount of ignorance of it's
dangerous qualities. Its use as an adul-
terant in any food preparation is simply
a crime, and as a crime should be pun
ished. bra

Impure blood, however generated, is
always present in the body when pain is
felt; it spreads and ferments wherever a
weak spot exists.
Take Brandreth's Pills to make the
blood pure and expel all that is hurtful

and unfailing remedy. They cleanse the
bowels and restore equal circulation
throughout the body. They preserve
