Banguo's Glost Abolished.

Sir Emery Irving has abolished the
ghost of Banquo from his production OF
Macbeth, " which will be seen in this
country during the coming season. He
simply has an 'uncanny ray of limelight'
sitting at the banquet, and Macbeth apos-
trophies that ray with great effect, it is
said. This innovation has been widely
commented on for Irving is not given to
disturbing the traditions very vigorously.
BY the bye, they say that the actor will
not allow his title to be used in any of his
professional enterprises On the stage he
insists upon being known as Henry Irving
it was formerly Mr." Henry Irving

vate life only This will be q blow to

VERY BRIGHT PROSPECT
OF Maine Industrial School With Donations
for New Building.

The quarterly meeting of the trustees
of the Maine Industrial School for Girls
were held at the office of the superinten-
dent in Hallowell, on Wednesday last.
and there were present Ex-Gov. Perham,
Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, Mrs. S. G. Sar-
gent. Capt. Chas. f. Nash, Hon. Fl.
X. Baker and Major f. Rowell. Reports
of the superintendent and treasurer were
submitted and approved; also report Of
matron. Nine girls have been ad-
mitted during the last quarter, and about
the same number have been sent to
homes Present number at the school is
70. All departments at the institution
were found in a prosperous condition.
Plans for the erection Of new school
building are in the hands of a committee,
and there will be available funds from
private donations to erect another build
ing without calling upon the State for
aid.
This institution, now in the twenty
uFSG year Vi SuCCtoslul las
truly been, us its founders intended
and expressed, "a refuge for girls
between the ages of seven and
fifteen years, who by force of circum-
stances or associations are in danger Of
becoming outcasts of society" 1t is not a
place of punishment, to which its inmates
are sent as criminals by criminal process,
but a home for the friendless, neglected
and vagrant children of the State, where,
under the genial influences of kind treat
ment and physical and moral training,
they may be won back to ways of virtue
and responsibility, and fitted for positions
of honorable sclfsupport and lives of use
fulness. Four hundred and thirty i've girls,
from all portions of the State, have shared
the benefits of this institution, and fully
ninety per cent have made honorable
records, and are mingling in respectable
society, with bright hopes for future
and usefulness. Prospects for
the future were never more promising |
than at the present time.

MARIE MlLLARD.
A New Priina Donna Who Has Mado n
Pronounced Success.

Harrison Willard, the famous writer of
popular though never trashy Songs, is the
father of Marie Willard, who has won crit
ical recognition in that nondescript hodge
podge entitled "The Sphinx" Miss Mil
lard is also a composer of some merit.
Mrs. Willard died when Marie was but
years old, and she and her sisters were
put into convent. Even at that early
age the embryonic prima donna was noted
for the marvellous sweetness and accuracy
of her voice, and infantile ballads rendered
by her were never failing magnets at the
school exhibitions. Harrison Willard S
poor health rendered imperative resi-
dence of several years in San Francisco.
There he carefully guided his daughters
musical education, and it then became
certain that she would win fame as vo-
calist. In 1892, having gone back to New
York, Miss Marie was offered an excellent
role in Wang in De Wolf Hopper's COM

KNOW THYsELF.
From the Era, Bradford, IA.


Too few people are acquainted with the
rapid advance of medical science, and too many
doctors are still plodding the old paths. Once
1t comes to pass that people know themselves,
that all physicians are abreast of the world IS
knowledge, much of our suffering will come to
an end. Medical scientists are not delving into
the depths Of knowledge for the mere benefit
of brother physicians, but for the benefit of the
world. They place in the hands of the well
man means of keeping well, in the hands Of
the sick a means of recovery. To the parent
they give the power Of saving the child.
Science is working for you-will you accept
the profIered help2
Mrs. George Rowend, an estimable lady who
resides at No. 276 East Main Street, Bradford,
Pa, has cause to feel grateful towards the
science of medicine.
One day recently a reporter, learning that
Mrs. Rowend had been greatly benefited by the
use of new medicine, interviewed her. She
stated that she had been suffering with female
trouble for many years. She had been doctored
for the ailment for long time-in fact, nearly
all her life-and had never received anything
more than temporary relief. During the last
three years her condition grew worse and was
aggravated by an affection of the heart. Her
health was so poor that she found it almost i'm
possible to perform her household duties.
"Inever believed in proprietary medicines, u
said Mrs. Rowend, "but one day last fall read
an article in a newspaper which told of the
cures effected by DIR. Williams Pink Pills, and
I decided to try the medicine. Before had
taken the contents of one box began to feel
better. The depressing weakness which had
bothered me for so many years began to disap.
pear and the action of the heart at once became
stronger and more regular.
~ took nine boxes of the pills and am now
feeling better than have for several years, and
have unbounded faith in the medicine"
Mrs. Rowend will now be able to ride her
bicycle, if she wishes, without danger to her
health, thing which was impossible before her
use of Pink Pills.

WHO GOT THE PAY.

At the sessions of the State Senate
Committee which is investigating the
municipal affairs of Philadelphia last
week, considerable evidence was given
in regard TO the alleged failure TO in
cinerate garbage and keep the streets
in repair as required by law, but the
most interesting witness was Thomas
Warren. He was employed as a
laborer on city bridge work, was
named on the pay roll as receiving S.
per Gay, but the highest pay he ever
received, he stated was So per day,
The witness declared that when he
receipted for his wages the amount
in the warrant was always covered
over. Warren further stated that two
lads named Mckee, who were also
employed in the sane gang, and who
were named on the pay roll as receiv-
ing So per, day received SIS per week.
Frederick H. Rolf, also laborer
employed on city bridge work, whose
wages were given as So day, testlf.
ed that he received but $3.50 per day
and "street car fare"
The Committee adjourned until
Tuesday, December 3.
