THINGS DRAMATIC.

A fair audience witnessed the produc-
ton of Young Mrs. Winthrope," at
OBriens opera house last night. The
play was put on by local talent under the
management of Mr.. NJ. Hoffstadt. who
has had considerable experience in that
line.
In this instance he was unusually for
tunate in placing the characters, and
each part was rendered in an excellent
manner. Several times during the per-
Torrance were different participants call
ed before the curtain at the end of the
acts, and the applause was hearty
through the evening.
The castsof characters was as follows:
Constance Winthrope, young
Mrs WinthTope).. Miss Lucy Morrow
Mrs. Ruth Wfnthrope. Mrs A. Gelders
Mrs. Dick Chetwyn. Mrs Emil Levi
Bdith 49,. ....... Miss Sophie Goldburg
Janette ..,... -. Miss Blanche Rothchlld
Douglass Winthrope. 49,. M. A. Porter
Herbert = - -. ........Henry SameiSon
Or. MlllDank ..........''.'. .AleA hielii
Buxton Scott $3.50. ...... IN. Hoffstadt
The opening scene was in Mr.. Win
thropes home. A GOODNESS sprang up
between he and his wife through a mis-
understanding. She attended a ball con-
trary to his wish, she believing him UNI
faithful to her. She returned late at
night to find her little daughter dying.
They gradually drifted apart and Win
thrope left for a distant land, it being
understood between he and his wife that
it was their final separation.
Buxton Scott, his attorney, was in
structed to draw up separation papers
and transfers of property to Mrs. Win
thrope. He undertook to bring about a
reconciliation, which he finally effected,
beating, as he said, the devil at his own
game
AS young Mrs. Winthrope Miss Lucy
Morrow appeared to much advantage. In
this character she was given splendid
opportunity to display her dramatic
talent which she did ina manner entire
ly satisfactory to the audience and pleas
ing to her friends. Miss Morrow has a
natural inclination towards the dramatic
art and has perfected herself In train
ing in Chicago. Her friends were all
delighted with her exquisite acting.
Mrs. Albert Gelders as Mrs. Ruth Win
thrope did her part well. Mrs. Win
thrope was a fond mother and the separa-
tion of her son and his wife grieved her
greatly but she never censured either.
Mrs. Gelders was just suited to the char
acter.
Mrs. Dick Chetwyn. the frivolous wo-
man, was excellently portrayed by Mrs.
Emil Levi, who seemed perfectly at home
on the stage.
Miss Sophie Goldberg as Edith was a
perfect picture of loneliness and was
splendid in her role as the blind girl.
Janette the maid. was Blanche Roths-
child's role and in that she did well.
Mr. M. A. Porter was Douglass Win
thrope and Mr.. NJ. Hoffstadt as Buxton
Scott. the attorney. made quite a hit.
Henry Samelson as Herbert and Alex
Klein as DR.. Millbank were the other
characters, and their parts did not suffer
in their hands.
The audience went away at the close
OF the play well satisfied with the even
ings amusement.

 There is one medicine which every family should be provided with. We refer to Chamberlain's Pain Balm. When it is kept at hand the severe pain of burn or scald may be promptly re- lieved and the sore healed in much less time than when medicine has to be sent for. A sprain may be promptly treated before inflammation sets in. which in- sures a cureiin about one third the time otherwise required. Cuts and bruises should receive immediate attention, be- fore the parts become swollen. and when Chamberlain's Pain Balm is ap- piled it will heal them without matter being formed and without leaving scar. A sore throat may be cured in one night. A piece of flannel dampened with this liniment and bound on over the seat of pain, will cure lame back or pain in the side or chest in twenty-four hours. It is the most valuable. how ever, for rheumatism. Persons afflicted with this disease will be delighted with the prompt relief from pain which It affords, and it can be depended npon 10 effect complete cure. For sale by J. H. Tipton, druggist.

 The petitioners for the opening of the new road to Madison, in person and by their attorney, appeared before the county Judge, and presented and had read the report of the viewers. Tues day, and evidence was introduced to show that the importance and benefit Of the proposed new road was such as 10 justify the expense of openii 2. and asked that an order be made to that ef- feet. It is variously estimated that this opening would be worth from S3e00 to S6000 annually to taxpayers. So far as we know the sentiment of the pablic IS unanimously in favor of the road, and we see no good reason for longer delaying the opening of road that should have been opened twenty years ago.
