THINGS DRAMATIC.

A top heavy house was fairly we'll pleased with the Span of Life" as pre- sented at O'Brien's opera house last night.
 The plot is an interesting one contain ing the usual hero and villain, between whom a struggle for the mastery is waged for a greater or lesser period of time. The play begins in England, where Dunstan Leech murders his crippled brother to obtain his fortune. He loves Kate Heathcote. but she marries Rich ard Blunt. the tutor of his brother. Blunt Is afterwards keeper of "Coffin Rocks" lighthouse, where Leech by ruse reach es him and attempts his life. The timely arrival of aid saves him. The scene then shifts to Africa, where Blunt goes in search of gold. He IS pursued by Leech and his wife and child taken as slaves, but they are all rescued by Blunt and his companions. who are disguised as slave dealers. In making their escape to the coast Blunt and his party come to a deep chasm, spanned by a small log, and over this they must pass to reach the coast All but Blunt and his wife and child have crossed the chasm, when Leech and his Arab slave hunters come upon them. To prevent Blunt from cross ing the log is thrown to the bottom of the chasm and then the villains lie in waia for him. Pursued by Leech and the ATdDS D1uHl StdHuS WltH HIS WIG anu child on the brink of the chasm ready to leap to certain death rather than capture when his sturdy friends, three men who had formerly been acrobats in a circus, locked their arms and legs together, forming column that spans the chasm, over which they pass safely beyond the reach of pursuers. Blunt is lost, but turns up in England few months later when Leech's mother, dying, leaves written confession exposing the villainy of her son. The plot thus ends happily for Blunt and his loved ones
 The play is not presented as strongly as it might be. but the audience last night seemed to enjoy the greater portion of it very much.

"The Old Lime Kiln. :"

Old Lime Kiln. written for the charm ing actress Katie Putnam, involves that minghng of the pathetic and the humor- ous that Is a part of the life of every one. Lights and shadows have been deftly used by the talented author with the re- suit that he has produced play of strong heart-interest, deepest pathos and touches of boisterous fun. As a pie ture of life 1t Is In no sense oyerdrawn
 It's Incidents, ranging from tragic to homely, are naturally drawn. Its char aeters--the out-cast son to whom, en- during the stings and punishment of a false accusation opium furnishes the only release from sorrow; the waif Nita, who shares her wretched fathers lot in the Yellowstone National park; the real cnlprit. upon whose charge and manu- factured proof an innocent man suffers
 the blinded father, who, upon presenta- ton of this manufactured proof, has driven his innocent son from his home these are among the serious characters, and the author has drawn them with fidelity to human nature. Then as in cidenta1 characters, are the Irish cor poral. whose prototype might have been Kipling's Mulvaney; Biddy, a jolly Irish serving woman, whose avordupois and spirits are both at the top notch: the dashing captain in the United States regular service; the "Chaperony," seek ing her affinity and others that have their work in developing the plot and story. The play is full of incident and rich in color It has been produced and mounted in a lavish manner and the scenery, of which almost a car load is used, Is in every sense worthy of the play it adorns and illustrates. This play will be presented by Miss Putnam and her company, which includes the popular Irish comedian, Herbert Cawthorn, at O'Brien's opera house next Friday and Saturday, and at the Saturday matinee.

SUMNER SICKNESS.
An Interesting Communication Re
garding Its Prevention
and Cure

EDITOR THE MASSlSc; TIMES:-As dlar-
rhe,. seems to be doing much mischief to
health Just at this time perhaps word
from me may not be ont of place for those
vi nv friends who have confidence IN me
and wro take Your most excellent and we'll
edited paper.
1t is disease not to be tritiel with by
the use cf active medicines.
Wien l was in active practice rs physi-
clan, my rule was first to try to put stop
to it with astringentS, opiates, and soothing
remedies. 4 teaspoontul Of paragorlc with
one of gum-arabic IN half-tumbler of hot
water given to an adult three times day
ought to cnre most any case in two or three
days time, provided nothing bnt cooked
water be used as drink when such is de-
sired bv the sick one Every tea poonful
of paragoric ought to have one grain OF
Opium in it, and one grain Of opium Is n
dose for a grown person. Gum-araolc Is
very harmless and may be given freely and
often. Fiaxseed tea is also q harmless and
soothing remedy Parched rice with hot
water poured on it and allowed to cool is
also very soothing indeed. I have used
alum, also-juSt mere pinch on an empty
stomach, not more than once or twice dur
ing the progress of the disease. half
dozen cloves chewed during the day is also
good: Glove tea may be used if preferred.
I have never had any one to die IN my
hands with aiarrhea and not a half dozen
with other diseases.
1t is well known that have practiced
medicine for over thirty years (not Tor
money! in this county when called on as a
matter of duty to the poor and any others
I shall continue to do so TO the best OF my
learning from such men as Dixon, Ged-
dings, and other great medical lights OF the
past. Their remedies are quite good
enough for me. My success is entirely
due to their teachings. Though they are
dead and gone, turn to them for help
whenever l get sick.
But lust one word more on the disease l
am writing about. No one who has 1t
ought to be allowed to drink cold, IN
cooked water, until they have been cured
over week. l have known Just one drink
OF cold water to prove fatal IN Very few
hours. 1t seems to have precisely the
effect of active medicines They both pro-
ducc inflammation Of the bowels and stom-
ach.
Active medicines gnardel with astriu-
g nts and opiates may not prove fatal nee
esSalillv. But were it not for the aStrn-
gents and opiutcs wat would have been the
result:
In conclusion, l would say, that gum
arabic and faxSeel tea ought to be made
fresh, aud not used when they have Sonred.
Boiled milk should be given freely.

FARMERS, INSTITUTES.

At the last meeting of the board OF
trustees of the Clemson Agricultural Col
lepe was requested to notify the farmers
at large of the willingness Of the board to
cooperate with them in the work OF hold
ing f.rmers' institutes, at least one ID eacn
congressional district.
The trustees will send professors OF the
college and, whenever possible, expert
farm ers, to talk upon such subjects as may
be of special interest to the farmers IN
whose neighborhood the institute may be
held. To make such institutes profitable
it will be necessary for the farmers 10 at
tend and join in discussions that may from
time to time arise.
Such an institute should be an agricul-
tural school for the ordinary farmer, and
should be free from all red tape or form
ality. -
To farmers interested in tobacco raisin g
shall endeavor to get q Successful tohacco
grower to talk on that subject. TO those
interested in dairying and cheese-makine
shall try to secure for them Professor
Hart or some other expert dalryman. Id
short, where farmers desire IN Institute
shall be pleased to cooperate with them in
making it meet as far as possible theli
special needs.
As we shall be able to hold not more
than institute in each congressional dis
,rict shall be pleased to have letters flon
farmers suggesting the proper time ano
place for holding the same. 1t has beer
suggested that between the middle of July
and the middle of September will be The
most suitable time All correspondence
