The Alvin Theacer.

No dramatic volume has made more people
laugh in the past two or three years than
Russel's City Directory" and it is to be
presumed that the new edition which is to
be issued at the Alvin Theater this week
will maintain the merry reputation of the
original. 1t may be said that "The City Di-
rectory" has not much plot, and some people
may tell you that it is a variety entertain
ment pure and simple, but nobody who has
seen it throug h can truthfully say that it is
not bright, clean and funny from beginning
to end. Manager Russell says that "The Di-
rectory" has been brought right up to date,
that Mullaly has written a whole lot OF
new music for it and new business and
new jokes in abundance have been intro
duced. These are the principal actors: Will
lis Sweatman. Dan DAILY, Burt Haverly, j. c.
Miron, Julius Whirmark, Charles Seaman,
Bessie Cleveland, Kate Uart, Mayne Kelso.
Lille Eldridge, Marion Weller and last ana
best OF all, charming Amelia Glover bounds
on before you and dances herself into your
hearts.

IA very little study of anatomy will show
the reader that the junction Of the back
passage OF the nose and the upper. part OF
the throat Is in connection with the ear by
minute and delicate passage known as the
Eustach1an tube. Along this tube the ca
tarrhal process extends, producing conges-
tion and Inflammation. BY the further ex-
teusion OF this process to the mucus lining
of the tympanum OF the ear is caused, in
some cases, slight forms of catarrh in the
middle ear, and in this way partial or COM
plete deafness Is produced.
In such cases as these general remedies
which are often prescribed, prove compara-
lively ineffective. A cure can only be OBJ
tanned by skillful and scientific local treat
ment.1
To give an illustration Of what can be
accomplished by the modern method OF
treatment OF catarrhal troubles. Drs. Cope
land, Hall and Byers republish an inter
view with Mr.. Jerry Garvey, who lives at
No. Fifth street, Sharpsburg. Mr.. Garvey
is mill worker. and gives his story in his
own words this way:

The Bijou Theater.

A good deal has been said for "a Night at
the Circus" claims as the first Of the new
brand of farce comedy, and everywhere in
the East it has been a decided success. The
atmosphere of the circus is in the play. The
ringmaster cracks his whip, the band plays
and the horses kick up their heels. Such is
the favor of the circocomedy, "a Night at
the Circus" which will be seen for the first
time in Pittsburg at the Bjou this week,
with Nellie McHenry in the chic. role. The
story upon which the play is built centers
upon Mile. Electra, circus performer, and
her sister, Mile. Madeline Milan, a governess
in the family of Nicholas Friske, a lawyer,
in partnership with Archibald Bangor. The
latter are husbands Of the ''henpecked" or
der, but are inclined to be men about town.
The queen of the arena quarrels with her
her contract. wants to have her arrested.
She engages Bangor to defend her.
Both LAWYERS promptly fall in love with her,
Bangor for the moment carrying her of.
Then the twin sister comes in, and while
Friske is trying to fascinate her the wives
of both men enter. The business of ex-
planning matters is extremely ludtcrous.
Mile. Electra decided to take her sisters
place as governess, in order first to escape
her manager, and next to punish the
lawyer for their would-be perfidy. As
meek as lambs in public, but in private they
all dance, and sing everything from Com
rades" to Maggie Murphy's Home" By
letters signed Birdie" and sent to all the
characters she finally arranges to meet
them all in the dressing room of the "Great-
est Show on Earth" and as the governess
she finds disguises for all. The wives are
fixed up in tights. Each husband is in the
belief that Birdie" is Electra" takes
his wife to the circus tent, and it
is in that scene the fun rec ches
its height. The manager has been driven
frantic by the non-appearance of his star.
His funny man gets intoxicated and Lawyer
Banger is compelled to take his place, with
the result that he is Missed and hooted.
Lawyer Friske, despite all protests, is dis
gutsed and rushed out as the "Wild Man of
Borneo." Finally, when Electra does appear
she makes the manager agree to all her oe-
mands, and rushes out to do her act while
the crowd outside cheer. 1t is in the very last
scene, when she rides upon cream-coiored
horse, dressed in pink tights and spangles,
that she is particularly effective. The piece
is said to be a decided advantage upon the
ordinary run of farce comedies. 1t is brin,-
full Of laughter from beginning to close: it
has plot and at least tells a sensible story.
1t gives Miss McHenry an opportunity to
disclose her versatility in the most en-
phauic manner. 49,

The puuuesne Theater.

b One OF tho most remarkable scenic pro-
duotions of the decade, CLEOPATRA" !" as Miss
Fanny Davenport presents it, will be seen
at the Duquesne Theater this week. Miss
Davenport's Cleopatra has been seen here
before and appreciated highly. It will be
all the more interesting nov, however, since
Bernhardt has recently appeared here in
the same role. The company will be the
same as Miss Davenport had upon her last
visit, Melbourne Mcdowell playing Marc
antony. The scenery will also include the
wonderfully effective stage pictures which
astonished Pittsburg last year.
As an example OF mechanical stage effect
the tempest scene in the fifth act is perhaps
without parallel. The storm Is heard-the
rushing of the wind, the rattling of thunder:
the heavens are lighted wich momentary
flashes, during which are seen hugh trees
bending and swaying in the STERN, as il q
hurricane were sweeping over the earth.
The place of this scene is in the Temple Of
Isis, WHITTIER the infurfated soldiers are come
to reap vengeance on Cleopatra, who turns
upon them instead with an impassioned in
vocation to the god of storms.

A Few Facts About This Dread Disease

Stated Succtnct y and Without Comment.
1T is universally admitted that consump-
tiOn presents the greatest difficulty which
confronts the physician.
No disease not an epidemic Is so generally
dreaded-no disease presents SO many ac-
companying functional arrangements of the
entire system. The word consumption in
its general sense means a consuming, de-
caving or wasting away of the lungs.
1t is to be remembered that in every case
the presence of catarrh is an evidence of
predisposition to consumption and no mat
ter how slight the attack may be it should
be treated with the greatest care, and the
treatment should be continued until all
traces Of the catarrh have Disappeared
