A BRIGHT STAR.
A SKETCH OF THE MAN WHO
LED MARY ANDERSON
TO FAME.
Also Played Leading Roles with Booth,
Barrett and ThOrne.

TFrom the st. Louis Chronicle.l
Cne of the most conspicuous figures in the
gtageland Of America to-day Il John w.
Norton. Born in the Seventh ward Of New
York city forty-six years ago, the friends
Of his youth were Thomas w. Keene and
Frank Chanfrau. We find Keene star at
the age Of % and Norton in the flower OK
early manhood, the leading man for Edwin
Booth at the famous Winter Garden Thea
ter. He was starred with Lawrence Bar
rett early in the 70s, and alternated the
leading roles with Charles Thorne at the
Variety theater in New Orleans. Early In
the Centennial year, In Louisville, Norton
met our Mary Anderson, then fair young
girl who aspired for stage fame, took her
under his guidance and, as everybody
knows, led her to fame Mr. Norton Is now
the proprietor Of the Grand Opera House In
St Louis, the Du Quesne Theater, Pitts
burg, and one Of the stockholders in the
American Extravaganza Company.
One afternoon early In June he hobbled
into his New York Office on Broadway and
encountered his business manager, George
McManus, who had also been rheumatic
prIsed that McManus had discarded his
cane. "Whocured you2" he asked. II cured
myself, - replied McManus, with DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills.
II was encouraged by Mr.. McManus'
cure, and as q last resort tried the Pink
pills myself, - said Mr. Norton to Chr0n-
icle reporter. "You have known me for 1--we
years, and know how have suffered. Why
during the summer Of 1898 ! was on my
back at the Mullanphy hospital, In this
city, four weeks. was put on the old sys-
tenn Of dieting, with view to clearing those
acidulous properties in my blood that medi-
cal theorists say Is the cause Of my rhen-
matism. left the hospital feeling stronger,
but the first damp weather brought with II
those excruciating pains In the legs and
back. 1t was the same old trouble. After
sitting down for q stretch Of five minutes,
the pains screwed my legs into knot when
arose, and / hobbled as painfully as ever.
After had taken my fret boxof Pink Pills,
Il struck me that the pains were less trou-
blesome. tried another box, and began
almost unconsciously to have faith In the
Pink Pills. l improved so rapidly that
could rise after sitting at my desk for an
hour and the twinges Of rheumatism that
accompanied my rising were so mild that
scarcely noticed them. During the past
two weeks we have had much rainy
weD-her in st. Louis. But the dampness
has not had the slightest effect in bringing
back the rheumatism, which consider q
sufficient and reliable test Of the efficacy o.
Pink Pills. may also say that the Pinh
Pills have acted as a tonic on my stomach
which thought was well nigh destroyed
by the thousand and one alleged remedie:
Iconsunned in the past five years"

comes back to me ever and again,
point for point, step for step.
Her brow has the same marble
smoothness; her shoulders, when she
sits In the blaze of her opera box,
diamonds that would grace a queen
shimmering on their wilderness, are
as incompatible as ever.
Time and again, her calm, inscruta-
BILE eyes meet, with fleeting glance,
her husbands. They quietly, UNI
demonstratively, despise each other,
these two. But, again, who would
know it?
Thus 1t astonishes no one that both

mond, he does not wear as we'll as the
beautiful Adrienne. Once, before his
face took on that shadow of bloated-
ness, his neck that bovine character,
he was handsome enough.
But that was ten years ago. The
outward circumstances were different
then. On moist, foggy afternoon
in January, young man with keen,
set, determined countenance, and
eyes brooding, calculating, summing
up combining as he went along the
crowded city streets, was accosted by
another man of about the same age,
who was fastening, though somewhat
more leisurely, in the opposite direc-
ton.
"Hullo, Hammond"
Hammond half-wheeled round and
stopped.
'Tf you've nothing else on hand,
come and make that call with me to-
night" said Searle.
Hammond was conscious of no spe-
cial eagerness. But Searle was a
rather good friend of his-the best he
had. That was, perhaps, not saying
much, for Hammond's friends were
few. He had come from rural dis
trict to the great city, resolute upon
making his way. How he lived he
himself best knew for few years.
There were times when the strug'
gle was fought at such close quarters
that his board bills often remained
unpaid. But at the darkest tbs
logged determination in him never
faltered. He used now and ther
to walk up the fashionable streets al
night and loiter a moment, lost il
the crowd of street Arabs of small
and large growth, at the house of I
well-known prince of finance, ovel
whose front steps an awning extended
to the curb.
The noiselessly opening and shut
ting door at the head OF the step
gave glimpses of an interior of lighi

dread aud fatal disease1 You need not take
our word for It. They have, in nearly every
instance, been 80 pronounced by the best

Il surpasses, In curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod

mixtures, had been tried In nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-

a short time. Extract Of malt, whiskey

Do You Wish

and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powders
che purest and strongest Of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est most delicious food The strongest baking pow
der makes the lghtest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
Of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuriC acid, and render the food unwhOleaOme.
Certain protection from. alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.
