MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The New South.

Few plays have ever won so n UGH
favorable criticism on their first produc.
tion in New York city as did "The New
South" The stars, Joseph Grismer and
Phoebe Davies, also came in for their
share of the praises, their debut being
OF such nature that it is not exagger-
ration to term it triumph. Col. Robert
q. Ingersoll witnessed this first perform
ance and wrote Mr. Grismer rs follows ::
"The New South is beautiful play;
well constructed, and exceedingly dra-
matte. 1t is natural, sensible, clean,
humane and delightful; and there are
scenes that demand and receive tribute
of tears. RIG. ENGERSOLL.
To Joseph Grismer, Esxq.
Tonight and Friday evenings, Mr..
Grismer and Miss Davies together with
an excellent supporting company will
appear at the Portland Theatre.
Much Ado About Nothing.
Monday evening of next week Nine.
Hortense Rhea and her company will be
seen at the Portland Theatre in a brill
liant revival of Shakespare's famous
comedy, much Ado A bout Nothing. y
Shakespearian revivals seem to be much
in vogue this season, for on the same
evening that Rhea appears here William
Crane opens at the Star Theatre in New
York in "The Merry Wives of Windsor. /"
Nine. Rhea's Beatrice is one of the
best representations of that famous role
the stage has ever seen.

Robin Hood Company.
The KnicKerbookers, the opera to be
sung the last night of the engagement OF
Barnabee, Karl and MacDonald's Robin
Hood Opera Co., was written by DeKoven
and Smith, as companion piece to the
authors unparalleled success, Robin
ably. 1t treats in a quantity humorous
fashion of the early days of the Dutch
colonists of New York city or New Am
sterdam, as it was then called, and in
PRODUCES among other entertaining char
acters. William the Testy, one of the
four historical governors, and Antony
Van Corlear, the governors trumpeter, a
real parsonage, treated by Washington
Irving in his Knickerbocker history.
The story is one of romance, and grows
out of the sqabble of the Dutch with
the New England Puritans. A neign-
borhood war lends zest to the entertain
ment, and the whole piece is full of life
and brisk action. The music is in De
Koven's very best vein, and is said by
many TO surpass in melodic qualities
Robin Hood. The large sale of seats in
dicates that the City Hall will be crowd
ed next Friday and Saturday. There
will be special matinee of Robin Hood
on Saturday afternoon.

What May Be Done at Odd Moments.
When at night the busy woman

portunities she thinks, despairingly:
"lf only had those odd minutes in

unattdinable But something can
be done with these odd moments
which are so exasperatingly unpro-
ductiye to the diligent one. This is
indisputable, because there are those
who have used just such minutes to
advantage. Many true examples
there are to confirm the statement.
A woman who was obliged to wait
at the breakfast table for a dozen
boarders to struggle down, in her
waiting moments manufactured yards
Of dainty lace, which she found a

KANSAS RAILROADS.

convention of the Kansas Christian En-
deavor union to be held in Topeka, May
"a to 81. Heretofore, it has been the
custom for the convention city to enter
tain the visiting Endeavorers, but last
year it was clearly shown that it was too
much to ask free entertainment for such
crowd as yearly attended these con-
ventions. However, the fact that the
young people will have to pay for their
keeping does not seem to lessen their
interest IN the coming gathering, for
the state committee reports that no less
than $500 delegates will be here to
listen to the excellent programme al
ready prepared.

A Standard Bearer.

In the crusade inaugurated nearly half a CEN
fury ago against the professional ignorance OF
the old school of medicine, Hostetter's Stom.
ach Bitters was standard bearer. Its victories
over disease when the old time specifics proved
abiect failures, proved that the pseudo-philos:.
ophy which sanctioned the administration of
violent remedies where the case required none,
which laid down as unalterable rules blood let
ting, violent purgation, the use of emetics and
the employment of corrosive and cumulative
poisons in simple cases of liver and malarial
complaint, was in fact the worst of unphiloso-
ply, contrary alike to the laws of true medic
inal science, of hygiene and of common sense.
Biliousness, constipation and chills and fever,
as now treated by the Bitters, promptly yield
where before they obstinately resisted old fash
toned medication. So do dyspepsia, rheuma-
querable by this safe and really philosophic
remedy.

CATARRH IS SYSTEMATIC

In all cases. There is no such thing as local
catarrh. There is no such thing as catarrh
of the head only. or catarrh of the stomach
only, or catarrh of the throat only, or ca
tarrh of the bladder only, or catarrh of any
other part or organ only. Catarrh is system
attic first, last and all the time. Consump-
ton might as we'll be called local disease
because the lungs appear to be the parts
most affected. Catarrh in any case is as
systematic as consumption. The whole sys-
tenn is contaminated with catarrh matter.
Every drop of blood in the body is charged
with the poison, which is picked up from the
stomach by the blood and carried around in
circulation afrer dropping down from the
head. Under these circumstances it would
appear worse than nonsensical to expect to
cure your catarrh by poking, squirting,
snufing or inbaling something or other up
your nose. If you ever get cured of catarrh,
it must be by an inward medicine that is
competent to take all the poisonous catarrE
matter down and out of the system from the
inside, putting your whole system in the
proper condition and purifying the blood, so
that you are not catching colds to produce
catarrh or any other disease. What is the use
of throwing your money away or losing your
time, month after month or year after year,
when you can get cured of the most aggra-
waited case of catarrh of any kind in one or
two weeks by using the Red Cross Constitu-
Nonal, the only medicine known at the pres
ent day that is competent to cure catarrh in
this the proper and-only way that it can be
cured. Cures guaranteed in all cases. Write
for circulars of general information.

Whether q woman Is poor or rich.
It behooves her TO acquire methodical
business habits, keeping her little ac-
counts accurately. and knowing to 9
cent Just what she does with her
money. An allowance Is the first
step toward this end, IL at the same
time 1t Is impressed upon her that
every sum spent should be set down
with unfalllng regularity.
In black aud white one notes how
much more easily the money can be
spent how quickly it goes and Just
what foolish little .nothings have
lured it from our pockets Without
setting down each item, it is ten
chances to one that you will conclude
you have lost some money, when you
cannot see how that s10 bill went
when you only bought such very
few things. The neat little figures
are genuine restraint, besides in
stalling habit and system that viii
be Of great value il fortune smiles
and great estate comes to your
hands, and still greater if economy is
q necessity and the dollar has to be
forced into doing duty for two. Un-
less the accounts are kept accurately
and cash made to balance every even
ing. you had better not attempt any
bookkeeping at all, for slipshod
methods are worse than uone, and
only confuse everything rather than
help matters.
If anything is worth doing at all,
it is worth doing well; and there is
nothing so productive OF future good
as the habit of looking carefully out
for the pennies when school days are
the only trials, and the allowance Of
so cents week goes for candies and
pickles. If this is once established
in childhood, the girl will grow to
womanhood with clear knowledge
of where her money goes and what
she has to show for it.

The characters of the Thousand
and One Nights'' may be almost
imagined to step out of their setting
words, and take form and glow with
the generous warmth of life before
ones very eyes, says a writer In the
Gentleman's Magazine The natives
still drink the same coffee, and out
OF the same cups: they smoke the
same pipes, they wear generally the
same dress they play the same prim-
tive instruments that whisper the
same strange and plaintive tones.
The funeral professions wend their
way along the streets as of old; the
popular festivals or moolids are still
observed with the same untiring ca
pacitY for enjoyment; the public re-
citers still practice their professions
before admiring crowds; the water
carriers still carry their burdens, so
welcome to thirsty lics; except in the
houses OF the rich and thoroughly
Europeanized, food is still eaten-with
the fingers, and in the same manner,
and the hands are washed with the
same basins and ewers; the mosque
Of Ell AZhar still attracts its crowds
of students. Even the old wooden
locks and keys are still in use, and
the water jars are still kept cool in
the latticework or the overhanging
mushrabiyeh window frames. In
stances Of this sort m ght be multi.
piled hundredfold. 1t is, indeed. a
wonderful change and contrast that
Is presented to the eye when you
leave the European and enter the
native quarter. And the mind and
feelings turn in unison, and become
attuned to the changed scene. The
sense of taking part in a new and
different life steals over you, and you
tenn porarily throw off your affinity
with the west and the nineteenth
century The clock of time is, for
the moment, put back Tor you

It will, perhaps, require a little stretch Of
the imagination on the part of the reader to
recognize the fact that the two portraits at
the head Of this article are Of the same in

made from photographs, taken only a few
months apart, of very much esteemed citi-
zen of Qlinois-Mr. @. 81. Harris, whose ad-
dress is No. 1,622 Second Avenue, Rock
Island, III. The following extract from let
ter written by Mr.. Harris explains the mar
velous change in his personal appearance. He
writes "Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Dis

man. Myhome physician says am good for
forty years yet You will remember that

one. Thousands of eminent people in all
parts Of the world testify, in just as emphatic
language, to its marvellous curative powers
over all chronic bronchial, throat and lung
diseases, chronic nasal catarrh, asthma, and
kindred diseases
Eminent physicians prescribe "Golden
Medical Discovery" when any of their dear
ones lives are imperilled by that dread dis
ease, Consumption. Under such circum-
stances only the most reliable remedy would
be depended upon. The following letter is to
the point It is from an eminent physician of
Stamps, Lafayette Co., Ark. He says |:
" Consumption is hereditary in my wife's
family some have already died With the dis
ease. My wife has q sister, Mrs. E. A.
