PINK DOMINO.
A Pretty Play Well Given By The Young
People Of St. Matthews Society.

A Pretty Play Well Given BY The Young
People Of st. Matthews Society.
The Thanksgiving play which has
grown to be feature of this holiday,
and in which the ladies Of st. Matthews
have earned an enviable reputation for
furnishing us enjoyable entertainments,
was a fitting close to the feasting of
Thursday. The opera house was filled
with an appreciative and kindly DIS
posed audience, and everybody enjoyed
the farce comedy Pink Domino" and
the splendid music furnished by the
local orchestra under the leadership of
LoAis YeOman, and composed wholly
of Kenusha young people. The play
itself is IL light bit of comedy, not in
tended to cater to The emotional or
tragic, but simply II Whit of pleasantly
to while away an hour without being
obliged to think hard in digesting it.
The parts were all well taken. Miss
Stebbins as Mrs. Featherstone gave
us very good representation OF the
bantering vile, who beats her husband
at his own game.
Miss Hazelt0n played we'll the part
of Ethel Granger, the sister and mutual
friend, who assisted Mrs FeatherstOne
in tormenting the life out of that poor
husband.
Miss Balm made an ideal housemaid,
AMI was saucy enough to worry the pa
thence of any housekeeper.
Richard Weles is a sort of amateur
John Dillon, and made hit in bis
part of Felix Featherstone. His tone
of voice and facial expressions were
admirably adapted to the changing
situations in the play, and his inter-
probation of the part as a whole was
good.
Wainwright Lance, the cold man"
ofthe piece, made the most of his part
as Uncle John, and his efforts to assist
his nephew out of his difficulties were
most laughable.
G1iffin Mcclellan took the part of
Harry Prentice. He was most gallant
with the ladies and seemed to enjoy
helping in the general plan to make it
warm for Felix.
Herbert Ayres, an Englishman him
self, had the correct accent in his
speaking part, and he looked and acted
to perfection the part of Saunders, the
servant.
The play itself was not long
enough to be tiresome and many of
the waits SO common in amateur per-
formances were entirely lacking Thurs
day evening. The ladies are to be
congratulated upon the success of the
entertainment and we look forward to
another next Thanksgiving time.

TOWN TOPICS.
Matters Talked Of and Facts Now at the
Front in Keu0shg

Front in Kenosh2-
Mrs. @. S. Newell and her daughters
Misses Madaline and Edith, leave to-
day for Chicago, where they will spend
the winter, making their homo at the
/" Virginia, on North State street.
Mrs. Eaton, who has been visiting
for the past week in this city, left on
Wednesday for Evanston to spend
Thanksgiving with her sister
Mrs. Aldrich and daughter spent
Tuesday in this town, the guests of
Mrs Newell.
Those who are familiar with the ac-
cents Of IN English servant were i'm
mensely entertained by Mr.. Ayres' rem
dering of his part as butler in the
" Pink Domino" 1t is only pity that
this character did not figure more
prominently in the play.
The orchestra which played at the
Thanksgiving night entertainment con-
sisted of eleven pieces and was well
worth the price of admission. This
was the first time that home orehes-
ira has ever performed in the opera
house and it formed an immense at
traction at this play. Great credit is
due Louis YeOman, the director.
The Chautauqua Musical held sheir
first meeting of this season on Friday
evening last aC the residencenof Samuel
Newman. About fifteen members of
the club were present and a very en-
joyable program, consisting of selec-
tons from List, was given. Mesdames
Newman, Rogers and Engel rendered
solos on the piano and Mr.. kupfer
sang. The next meeting is to be the
twentieth Of December, at the residence
of Rev and Mrs. Rogers.
The Thanksgiving entertainment
given last night 1T the Rhode opera
Emily Bond, for the benefit Of st. Mat
thews church, was an unqualified sue
cess, and takes it's place with the best
amateur plays ever given in this town.
The characters were all exceedingly
we'll taken Miss Stebhins as Mrs.
FeatherSt0ne and Miss HaZetOn as her
sis er, did their parts to perfection, and
in the first act especially made Il very
artistic and beautiful picture. Miss
Balm, as The maid, acted her saucy and
independent part SO admirably that the
hearts OF ali the housekeepers were
with her mistress. Mr.. WelleS, as Fee
lix, ran the gamIt of human feeling;
revenge, fear, humiliation, anger, re-
penIance and finally joyful reconcilia
ton, were portrayed by him in Il very
vivid manner. Mr.. Mcclellan played
the lover unusually we'll, and had evil
IDENTIFY 6 been there before" Mr..
Lance as Uncle John, brought down
the house, and depicted the irascible
old man to the life. Mr. Ayres, as
Saunders, played the persistent English
butler better that the butler himself
could have done it. The effect of the
play was greatly improved by the mu-
sic, especially the little snatches of
familiar tunes that introduced the diff
ferent actors, and accented the various
points.

He says: "It gave me a great deal
Of pain-those sharp, darting pains so
characteristic of cancer. I took many
so-ca11ed blood medicines, without the
slightest effect, and sought the help of
the best physicians, but they did me
no good; one told me, however, that I
was incurab1e and had better make my
arrangements accordingly. was on
the verge of despair, when DR.. J. L.
Miller, one of the leading druggists of
my town, recommended S. S. S. The
first bottle seemed to make me worse,
bit DR.. Miller told me this was q fav-
orab1e symptom, and by the time l had
taken the second bottle, the cancer be-
gan to discharge, and as I continued
this became quite profuse, and kept up
for some time. Then it gradually
grew less, and after awhile ceased al
together, and to my delight the place
dried UP and is cured entirely, SO that
nothing remains but scar.
81 consider S. S. S. boon to suffer
ing humanity, and feel that owe my
life to it, as the cancer had made such
progress when began S. S. S. that my
death was declared to be only a matter
of a very short time. The cure eff
fected in my case is considered by
every one most remarkable, and clearly
demonstrates the fact that S. S. S.
does cure hereditary cancer. No one
who is afflicted with this dreadful dis
ease can afford to fail to give S. S. S..
a trial, for that is all that is necessary
to convince them of it's virtues"
The above is but one of many re-
markab1e cures being daily made by
S. S. S. Cancer is becoming alarm
ing1y prevalent, and manifests itself
in such variety of forms, that any
sore or scab, it matters not how small,
which does not readily heal up and
disappear, may well be regarded with
suspicion
The fact that S. S. S. cures heredi-
tary cancer, which is considered in
durable, places it without an equal as
a sure cure for all manner of real

any other form of bad b1ood.-Att0atG

1t is very often that the most insig-
nifcant symptoms are forerunners of
the most violent disease. There is
not a more destructive disease than
Cancer, and in a majority of cases it
is first indicated by a very small scab
or sore, to which no attention is at
tracted, until it before long develops
into most alarming conditions.
Here is such case, where the first
symptoms were too small to be noticed
for quite time. Mr.. J. B. Arnold be-
longs to one of the oldest and best
families of Carolina; he is we'll and
favorab1y known throughout South
Carolina, and has resided at Green
wood for years. Cancer is hereditary
in the family, an aunt on each side
having died from it. Several years
ago small spot, like tiny ulcer.
about the size of bird-shot, appeared
just under his left eye, above the cheek
bone. He thought nothing of it for
some time, until it began to grow rap
Idly, spreading all the time, and de-
stroying the flesh as it went.

A COMPROMISE EFFECTED.
The Insurance on the Chicago Bedding
Company Plant Settled.

A compromise has been effected by
the receiver and trustee of the bonds
of the Chicago Bedding Company with
the insurance companies which carried
the insurance on the plant. The plant
having been burned by the officers OF
the Bedding company the insurance
companies refused at first to pay amy
losses. The nominal insurance on the
plant was $40, 500, but over half of
this was in " underground" companies,
the good insurance amounting to only
about $4,000. BY the compromise and
settlement the receiver and trustee will
get about a quarter of this amount.

A new feature of the state census

A new feature of the state census
this year will be tables showing the
percentages of the foreign populations
of Wisconsin by countess and also show
ing the percentages of Scandinavians
and Germans. The tables will be ac-
companied by suitable maps compiled
under direction of Secretary of State
Casson by Charles Keith. The total
percentage of foreign population of the.
state is 27.04. The total percentage of
Germans is 1885, and the total percent
age of Scandinavians is. 5.52. The total
percentage Of all others. of foreign birth,
is 1857. In Kenosha county the per-
centages are given as follows: Percent
of foreign born population, PTS; per
cent of Germans, $685.: per cent of
Scandnavians, 4.38; per cent Of all
other countries. IA. Thus it will be
seen that except in the Scandinavian
column KenOsha county is above the
St IL average. The county comes in
tn rty-firsT in the list OF the coun bies
counting from the largest percentage
down.

SYRIAN OUTRAGES.
JOHN BULL CAN LOOK AFTER THE
MASSAORES THERE AS WELL
AS IN ARMENIA.
The Same Old Story of Moslem
Hostility to Christianity, but
the Scene of Operations
Is Changed.

LONDON, March S.-The follow
ing has been received from a well
known European resident at Bey-
root, Syria:
after 1860, when the Druzes
massacred so many thousands Of
Christians in Syria, there was Gre
ated by the powers specially or
ganiZed government with a Chris
tian leader. This has been a grand
success; the population has in
creased, land has been thoroughly
cultivated, and the proverb is,
blessed is the man who has a
place in Lebanon sufficient for a
goat to lie upon"
The turbulent and criminal part
of the Druzes have moved grad
ually to Howran. where they main
tain defiant and lawless attitude.
Lately the government has shown
a great desire to cOnciliate them.
The Druzes few years ago kill
ed about seven Of the Mohamne-
dams, Of HOwran, and were i'm
mediately chastised. Last, June
the DruZes attacked a village of
Circassian refugees and killed
about fifty. When no punishment
followed these depredations, which
were accompanied by countless
acts of robbery and plumber, they
became holder. Some Bedouin
Arabs have been killed by them
and now their attention is turned
to the Christians. One OF them,
known to me, was walking upon a
high way near Five Villages,
wholly inhabited by Christians,
when he was set upon by Druzes
and murdered, after being robbed
Of sixty pounds. The government
greatly fears international dissen-
sion, but why on the one hand a
brutal massacre Of those who in
dulge in harmless dreams of liberty
and independence, and on the
other, a timid indulgence of out
laws? The answer is easily given
christians are the natural prey
OF Moslem hatred, and any pre-
text will answer as an excuse for
their determination.
"The European powers are great.
Will they not use their power to
secure some justice to the Chris
tians of the east? The Moslem
Turk will never learn the lesson
which could be drawn from the
massacres Of Syria, Bulgaria and
the Arab rebellion; that to sur
render the Christians to the mer-
cenaries of fanatical hordes is not
the wisest course, but losing
game. Matters have reached such
sad pass and are steadily becom-
ing worse, that it seems wrong to
hold ones peace"

the request, that Captain General

Uncle Sam are Cheered.
ST. JOHNS, n. F., March S.-The
steamer Grand Lake arrived here
from Halifax last evening. AT six
o'clock, when the ship was sighted,
an immense crowd began to gather,
until about 5000 people were on
the wharf. AS the ship came into
the wharf the American flag was
hoisted to the foremost, and as the
excitement ran very high, cheer
after cheer went up for the Ameri-
can flag, for the United States and
for the Boston. When the ship
was moored a delegation from the
relief committee, consisting OF
Bishop Jones, Revs. P. O'Brien and
Graham and A. J. Harvey went on

Dixon Gets the Decision, but the
Colored Boy was Game.
NEW YORK, March S.-The men,
bers Of the New York Athletic club
who attended the bouts brought
of in the club rooms last night,
had no reason to complain OF lack
Of amusement as the fighting was
of very lively nature throughout.
There were four bouts on the pro-
gram before the principal one
opened.
At 11:3O o'clock George Dixon
climbed through the ropes, accom-
panied by O'Rourke and Jimmy
Connolly as seconds.
Five seconds later, Sam Bolep,
an unknown, local colored pugi-
list, put in an appearance. Dixon
weighed 124 pounds and Bolen lis.
In the first round Bolen got twice
to Dixon's body and stopped Dix
on's leads. In the second round he
got in on Dixon's jaw once. There
is no other record Of his hitting
Dixon, but he took much punish
ment in the sixth round. In the
seventh round Dixon went at his
man savagely. Blow after blow was
rained on Bolen's head, but BOlen
was game. Dixon landed on the
stomach and on the ear. Bolen
stood up to him and lasted until
the gong ended the fight. Dixon
got the decision.

State REPRESENTATIVES. Fight.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March S.
The session of the House was char
acterized by a quarrel last night
that ended in a fight and produced
intense excitement. The Senate
had amended the bill abolishing
the office of State House custodian
by providing that nothing in the
act should affect Engineer Cain.
The amendment was sent to the
House and a motion to non-concur
was made and the previous ques-
ton called. Representative Will
liams attempted to speak but was
ordered to sit down, and refused to
do so. Representative SOrenberg
then went to him to force him into
his seat and Williams slapped
Sorenberg. The House was in up
roar and many representatives
crowded around and Williams was
led into the cloak room. He says
he was not out OF humOr, but the
doorkeeper thinks the blow must
have come from a man who was
not in a good humOr.
