AN IMPERATIVE DUTY.

What greater duty is possible than the
care of our health? Until recently it has
been impossible for persons living at a
distance from large cities TO obtain the
best medical advice without great ex-
pense. This is now obviated so that the
poorest persons, in any part of the land
may consult the great medical authority
on nervous and chronic diseases, free Of
charge, and without leaving their homes.
DIR. Greene OF "a Temple Place, Boston,
Mass, the most successful specialist in
curing all nervous and chronic diseases,
has lately adopted the plan OF giving the
sick everywhere consultation and advice
by letter correspondence, tree OF charge.
Write him description OF your COM
plant and he will return you an exact ex-
planation OF your disease, with advice as
to its cure, entirely free OF charge. He
gives most careful and explicit attention
TO all letters and will make your case so
plain to you that you cannot fail TO un-
derstand exactly what ails you. DIR.
Greene is the discoverer OF that wonderful
cure, DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. lie uses nothing but
harmless vegetable remedies in his treat
ment. what sufferer can resist such an
opportunity as this to regain he nth and
strength? Write him about your COM
plant and you will never regret II.

Keith's Opera House.

Stand of the Midnight Sum-" the land
where the mist of eve and the grey of
dawn kiss each other through Ike shades
of night. Such Is the title of Edwin Bar
bour's latest play which has been secured
by LAY. Pearson and mounted as the stellar
attraction of this progressive managerial
firm. Nine large organizations are now
travelling under the Pearson banner, three
of which are producing plays from Mr.. Bar
bour's pen. "The Land of the Midnight
Sun" is q spectacular romance Of Iceland,
founded on the story of two brothers
who, unknown to each other, cross in
love and war. These Icelanders are rug
ged, savage men, characters eminently
fitted for strong dramatic situations, and
the geographical location OF the tale gives
opportunity for scenic sets new, or at
least rare to the stage. The author does not
deny that he has borrowed from tradition
and fiction for material with which to
model his story. He also draws
upon history, but, like Rider Hag-
gard, he takes his audience to
lands unlike home which furnishes
wonders to fascinate and instruct, to wit /:
One dramatic situation takes place in the
midst of mountains of ice; another at the
shadows of that erratic volcano
Hecla. Here the mines explode
and the earthquakes and volcano,
join in q scene OF grandeur and chaos.
1t takes large acting company as well as
mechanical force to prod6ce this spec
tacle, some Of the principal players
being Elmer Grandin, Logan Paul,
Criptie Palvoni and Eva Mountford.
The stereotyped ad of SO many car loads
OF scenery Is not used by Mr.. Pearson's
managers. Suffice it to say the entire
equipment Is new from the studio of j. HI.
Young who painted the scenes of "Wang," !"
"Panjandrum," "14y2," and many other
notable spectacles emanating from the
Broadway Theater, New York. "Land of
the Midnight Sum-" will be seen at B. F..
Keith's Opera House during the ensuing
week, coming direct from successful
run in Philadelphia.

Probably no young artist before the
public to day has been more successful the
past three or four years, both in Europe
and America, than Vermont's favorito
singer, Mary Howe. OF wondrous
beauty aud possessing phenomenal voice:
her career so far has been a series OF
triumphs. Since her last appearance in
America she has been finishing her
studies and making great progress In
her art, which will be as gratifying to her
many fricpds here as II was to her man
ayers across the water. Both in Italy,
and afterwards In Germany, where
she appeared with the Philharmonic
orchestras lin Berlin and Hamburg, she
was received with the greatest enthusi-
asm and the press notices everywhere were
unanimous in her praise. At her con-
cert in this city, May 4, she will be
assisted by her husband, Mr.. William
LAWN, the noted tenor; Miss Leonora
Won Stosch, the handsome and brilliant
violinist, and Sig. Giuseppe Campanaria,
q leading operate baritone. With such
talent the Mary Howe Concert will be q
musical event OF much interest.

Clifton's five act melo-drama entitled
"Punished at Last" plays as the most SEN
sational novel reads, and from its
opening to its closing scene is
most intensely interesting. Plots
and counterplots, schemes and pur-
poses of good and evil design follow each
other rapidly. Many OF the scenes are
rousers, calculated to provoke
spontaneous response from the
audience. The story which deals in the
life of young artist, the missing heir to

tions, serious and ludicrous, but they are

POLITICS AND LABOR
Have a Depressing Effect Upon the
Business World.
Prices OF Textiles Remain Iowa
Less Confident Tone in the Cotton
Business.


NEW YORK, April 2L-R. G. Dun g.
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade says:
Extensive storms checked improve
ments In business only for time and
numerous strikes have not yet arrested it.
Distribution of products TO consumers
seems larger. for more people are earning,
and therefore more are able to buy.
A considerable portion of the industrial
force is still unemployed, and with wages
much lower than year ago, consump-
tion is not as large.
Payments through all the clearing
houses for the week are 272 per cent less
than last year, 296 at New York and 22.9
elsewhere.
New orders for future distribution are
still restricted by uncertainty about
action at Washington, and about the ex-
tent and outcome of labor difficulties.
The strike of the coke workers, though
virtually over. still affects outputs aud
deliveries.
The Textile Outlook.
Textiles look little weaker, in spite Of
somewhat better distribution. Sales of
goods already made are stimulated as
better weather comes, but orders for the
spring season are running out, and in
orders for the fall there is more uncer-
tainty, except in dress goods. for which
demand continues fair. In mems woolens
no improvement is seen. and quite a num-
Der Of mills have stopped or are about to
stop, orders being insufficient for profit
able production. In a few grades of
goods lower prices are quoted, and in
none an advance. although strikes for
higher wages are not infrequent. The
attempt to advance print cloths has been
followed by n slight decline, and while
the cotton business has not materially
changed dimensions, the tone is rather
less confident.
Wheat has scarcely changed in price
during the week, though exports were
about go per cent of last years, and west
ern receipts about 66 per cent. Predic-
tons of short Gro are treated with in
difference.
1t is expected that $500. 900 gold will
go abroad today, lowing to British in

another way of saying that there is a
withdrawal of foreign capital from this

The THEATERS.
Two Spectacular Plays, MeIo-
drama and Vaudeville.
ssThe Black Crook" at the Providence
Opera House.

The famous old spectacle, "The Black
Crook" will begin a weeks engagement
here Monday evening. The "Black Crook"
was written by Charles Barras
and first produced In 1867 at Niblo's
Garden, New York, by Garret q Palmer.
1t marked an epoch in the spectacular
drama and caused sensation. There has
never been before such an exhibition and
no manager has had the temerity to pro-
uuce anything on the scale OF grandeur
and magnificence with which this play
was mounted.
The present revival took place in the
Academy of Music, New York, in Sep
tember, 1892, and 1t was a greater success
than ever and ran there the entire
season, after which il was taken to Chicago
for Is weeks to the largest business
ever known in that city. IL was then
taken to the Boston theater, Boston,
where il ran for four months, that theater
being crowded nightly from pit to dome.
The performance, as IL will take place here,
may be- briefly outlined as follows: The
ballet, of course, will be the principal
feature. There will be three grand ballets.
The first is called the "Postillion Ballet,
the second the "Birth OF the
Rainbow" and the third ballet Is the
"Ballet of Popular Airs"
The principal dancers are Mile: STAG
cioni from San Carlos, Naples.
Mile. Bartoletti and Signor Bianci-
fori from La Scala, Milan.
Among the principal speciality artists will
be Mardo, the "Marvel," and the French
dancers from the Casino, Paris, led by
Mile. La Sirene.
The costuming and scenery will be on
the most magnificent scale.
"The Electric Terrace or Grand Stair
case" Is said to be the mostbrilliant scene,
. striking effect being obtained with the
1000 or more incandcscent lamps that
are used. Other scenes are "The
Pandemonium." "The Foot OF the Hartz
Mountains" and moonlight and Day
light" The production enlists 80 people
over half of whom are in the ballet.
