The Amateur Art Club.
Absolutely Pure.

On Tuesday evening, December
90, large audience met in the town
hall, to witness the performance by
the Amateur Art Club, of 'sWooing
Under Difficulties and ''Poor Pill
Iicnddy" In the first-named short
play, Mr.. Braxton Davenport played
the Heavy Father" to perfection,
and Mrs. VIM. Campbell was the
tender mother of a most lovely
daughter, Miss lIayma Moore, Miss
Louie Baylor acting the part of a
pert little maid very well indeed.
Mr.. Lee Shirley, Mr.. Fontaine Alex
ander and Mr.. Richard Alexander
took the parts sevcrally, of the But
Ter. the Lover. and the Friend, and
they got hopelessiy mixed, and were
all very funny, and at last all turned
out as it should, and the curtain
fell. to rise very shortly on the open
ing scene IN ''Poor Pillicoidy."
Miss Maria Moore, the bright and
faithful Sarah, devoted to her mas
tcr's interest, but very outspoEen in
her disapprobation of his foolish in
diligence of his beautiful young wife,
was perhaps the one of the club
who threw herself most entirely into
the character she portrayed. Mr..
Fontaine Alexander was very good
indeed as s'PiIlicoddY," and "Mrs.
Pillicoddy," (Mrs. VIM. CampbelI)
was an exquisite vision, arrayed in
pink, with the most killing way of
saying "thanIs YOU" Mr.. Daven-
port was a very martial-looEing
Capt. O'Scuttle. and Miss Louie
Baylor bewitching Mistress
O'Scuttle"
The adience was a very apprecia-
tive one. and applauded the ''local'
hits vociforously. The public should
encourage this club, for it is working
for a very worthy object, and de
serves success. There is much tall
ent among its members, and all they
need is hard work and practice to
compete with any other Amateur
Club

about my heart, and was afraid to draw a
full breath. l couldn't sweep a room with
out sitting down and resting; but, thank
God by the help OF New Heart Cure all that
is past and feel like another woman. Be
fore using the New Heart Cure had taken
different so-called remedies and been treated
by doctors without any benefit until was
both discouraged and disguised. My husband
bought me bottle of DIR. Miles New Heart
Cure, and nm happy to say never regretted
It, as l now have q splendid appetite and
sleep well. weighed lbs pounds when ] be-
gan taking the remedy, and now weigh 13OIf
Its effect in my case has been truly marvel

VICTIM OF A BAD HUMOR.
What Henry Seyfried Claims in n Suit
Against Dickson 81 Talbot

aSuihst ialDOtt.
In the Circuit Court Henry Seyfried is
suing Dickson &c Talbot for alleged abuses
received at the hands of the defendants on
March %, 1893. Seyfried alleges that he was
a collector for the firm of Henry Coe &
Co., and on the date above mentioned went
to the office of Dickson & Talbot to collect
the rental for a stairway used by them. He
says that this was the last of a number of
trips made to the Office on the same GRAND
In one Of the apartments he found William
Dickson, who greeted him with the remark
How much of this town do YOU own?'
Plaintiff claims that he informed the ques-
toner OF his possession of a lot North
East street, which reply seemed TO arouse
the ire of the latter. He then passed on TO
the apartment occupied by Mr.. Talbot and
remarked to that gentleman: Mr.. Dick
son seems to be in bad humor this morn
ing"
Then he alleges that William Dickson
came in and in the presence of his partner
knocked him down. He undertook to arise
but was laid low again. he says, and was
the victim of third blow despite the pro-
test of Mr.. Talbot to refrain from knock
ing his eyes out" The plaintiff further in
sists-Ithat he was Violently elected from
the Office of the firm by Mr.. Dickson, and
IS positive that Mr.. Talbot kicked him as
he disappeared down the stairway. By
reason OF this somewhat violent treatment
the plaintiff claims that he was permanent
ly injured, and demands that his assafIants
pay him $1,000 His attorneys show that
Mr. Dickson, after the trouble, went TO the
office of Justice Johnson and asked to paw
a fine for drubbing fellow whom he did
not know.

by another secret which her husband i'm
posed on her, seemingly with a fiendish
torturinS delight. He told her of certain
robberies, she says, that he, with others,
had been concerned in, and avOwed his in
tention of killing her if she disclosed his
secret. For two months she was in agony.
Last October there came relief Her hus-
band was about to be arrested on the charge
of counterfeiting and left her to secrete

hopes that he may never return. She in
forms the court that she can never again
take up the old life. and implores an early
investiga ton of her case and the decree
of divorce,
