EXTREMELY I'LL.
The Blectropoise Was Used With
Its Usual Good Effects.
Viii Do All That Is Claimed for 1t
and Much More.

I have a near neighbor named Bene-
field, who is a fisherman and has a large
family. Sometime since he went up a
marshy creek some distance on a fishing
trip and was gone three or four days,
being accompanied by two OF his boys
On his return home from this trip one of
the boys was very sick. and had high
fever and a bowel trouble. He went to
bed Immediately on getting home. and
was extremely i'll, not being able to move
himself in bed for ,twenty-four hours
and was in very critical condition.
l told Mr.. Benefited that If he would
not laugh at me that l would put the
Electropoise on him and cure him. He
said that he would be glad to have me
use it, so 1 applied it with plenty of ice,
and in half an hour was able to note a
change, while he continued to improve all
night. In a day or two he was entirely
well, and has been ever since.
We believe that 1t will do all that is
claimed for it, and are willing to make
an affidavit to that effect. Mr.. and Mrs
Benefited will willingly testify to the
above. Yours truly,

there is not a shadow of proof to SUSTAIN

mine. 1t is said that forty miners are
in the pit and there is no telling how
many are dead and burned 1t may be

can be obtained
Nine men only were in the mine when
the explosion occurred. Five of these

Morris. The cause of the explosion is
purely conjecture, and will probably
never be known unless one of the miss

rated from the five who escaped, and the
explosion occurred in the portion of the
mine where they were at work. The sup
position is that they touched off a body
of gas with their mine lamps.

"Othello.o

Mr.. Louis James will be seen here Fri
day night October IL, In a magnificent
production of "Othello." This greatest of
the Shakespearean tragedies will be one
of the most important features of Mr..
James repertoire this season. 1t will
doubtless be pretty generally admitted
that Mr.. James is the foremost living ex-
ponent of this part upon the American
stage. The position which he holds he
has won through long years of careful
study and frequent representation. AS
he has grown in the prime of his artistic
career he has broadened his conception
and enlarged its treatment of this noble
Shakespearean creation, and his pre-
eminence in the role is not more the result
of personal fitness and temperamental
adapta ton than of close study and artis-
tic attrition. Few of the Shakespearean
characters have been given such various
interpretations as has the title parsonage
of this tragedy. On the early English
and American stage the actors loved to
dwell and enlarge upon the native quail
ties of the moor. Every other passion
was subordinated to that of jealousy and
revenge. To this day the elder Salvini is
absolutely faithful to the barbaric posi-
bilities of the character. The modifica-
tionS which were made in obedience to
the requirements of modern taste had
their most potent examples in Edwin
Booth and Lawrence Barrett The latter
especially gave to the character depth
of humanity and tenderness of love which
the old masters would have regarded as
emasculation. Mr.. James has made
careful study of the nativity, the racial
characteristics, the Shekespearean in
tent and the consistent elements of the
character, and has reflected much upon
the evolution of the stage Othello. 1t has
been his aim to preserve the native quail
tiles, but to subdue them even In the
heat of passion into measure of appro-
pirate relation to the urbane environ
ments the dramatist has given the char
acter. He confined himself to no school,
no traditional limits or extravagances,
but has conceived and realized a splendid
characterization that at once appeals to
popular approval and refined taste and
lis In no way in conflict with the laws of
consistency or the exactions of art
