troupe is a strong one 1t is composed
OF people whose artistic work and per-
sonal conduct in this city have brought
credit upon the profession they repre-
sent and the house at which they ap-
pear. They are equal to low comedy, trag-
edy, Shakesperian comedy, melodrama,
society pieces and the sensational drama.
They will be able to give US farce, bur-
lesque, romantic drama or the modern
sensational and French plays. Their
range is broad, and we look forward to
sood work and plenty of it from the
combination. The house has been fitted
with electricity throughout stage and
auditorium, and the scenic effects will
therefore be much improved. The old
drop has been painted out and an ad-
vertising drop substituted, while a
scenic drop once used in the Metro
politan Theater and unwisely aban-
doned for a less handsome curtain has
been retouched and will take front place.
The scenery has been cleaned and re-
touched, and the house cleaned from
top to bottom and improved in several
respects, as they who enter it will find.
The play tonight will be the sensa-
tional drama, ''The Wages Of Sin"
Chauncey Olcott and his clever COM
pany, under the management of Angus
tus Pitou, will present ''Mavourneen

forms the theme of the play has had

Quently "MavOurneen' is not a picture
of imposSibilities, but a tale of Irish
life that is at once human and full of
heart interest, wit and humOr. AS
Terence Dwyer, the gallant Irish-Am
lean soldier and lover, with his dainty,
fascinating songs and his military
dash, Mr.. Olcott makes an ideal stage
hero and is winning his need of praise
everywhere throughout the country
The costumes and scenery of the piece
are said to be remarkably handsome.
Manager Pitou has surrounded Mr.. OIL
colt with a supporting company of un-
usual excellence, every part in the
piece being in the hands of q capable
and experienced player Two carloads

Gladness Comes

NAj :th better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup Of Figs. prompt
Iy removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
icial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
. ard the system is regular, laxat1ves or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

SUFFER FROM FLAT FEET"

How the Breathing Down of the Arch IL
Remedied by o steel Strip.
DESPITE the fact that the beauty OF
we'll arched foot 10 much appreciated by
people of an artistic turn OF mind, has
been sung frequently by poets and verse
makers, there has been until lately lit
tie interest, from scientific point Of
view, taken in its direct opposite-the
fat foot. In great number of instances
fiat feet are the occasion Of considerable
keen suffering, generally resulting from
the breaking down Of the arch-that is,
the displacement of some Of the many
little bones of the foot either from
oyerstrain or some disease of the muscu-
lar structure AS the weight of the boLS
constantly rests upon the foot, there ls
no opportunity for the bones to get bach
to their proper places.
The result is that these little bones
keep rubbing against each other, and
the pain gets more and more severo
Commonly the person afflicted in this
way thinks that he or she has rheuma-
tism and lets it go at that. Until re-
Gently the only remedy was a steel soled
shoe that was clumsy and heavy. The
new device is interesting. 1t is an 'in-
SOLE" curved to fit the foot, made OF a
bent strip of steel and acting as spring.
Il is covered either with leather Or with
vulcanized rubber to prevent rusting,
and, l.aeding no fastening. but simply
to be placed in position, it can be
changed from enc shoe to another al
will.
In position it acts simply ms a sup

giving them an opportunity to slip bacl
into their proper places. While any in

only when enc is especially made fron
