an enthusiastic acknowledgment from
the audience. In this same act the ex-
plosion OF the dynamite bomb far down
IN the gorge, where the brave mountain
lass has thrown IL, is an effective incl
dent accompanied as 1t is by the rum bling
echoes along the ravines and the shower
OF rocks that follows the blast.
Enough of the story is told before the
curtain goes down for the first time to ex-
plain the old time family feud which Joe
Lorey and Horace Holton are left to fight
out, and the treachery of the latter is told
by Madge as she recalls some OF the
dreadful scenes OF her babyhood.
The second act puts the finishing
touches on the plot, and the third Is de-
voted almost exclusively to fun and in the
fourth the feud is settled by death OF the
man who played the Williams part so well
that he was hissed every time he ap-
reared, end the affairs OF the heart are
correctly adjusted.
The burning of the stable occupied by
Queen Bess in the second act furnishes a
most interesting situation and the horror
of incendarism is in sharp contrast with
the rollicking fun and frolic of the band
OF pickaninnies who add much 10 the play
of the mountains and the "blue grass
regions.p
The cast is an excellent one and heroes,
lovers, and villains are all most fortu-
their parts ridiculous by OVERRIDING them.
Frank Dayton, as Frank Layson, the
principal character, has quiet and self
possessed manner through which he
allows his passion to show itself always
at the right time. The character of
Colonel Sanduskey Doolittle, the bluf
and genial Kentuckian, who is known
on every race track from Maine to Cali
fornia, is splendidly taken by Burt q.
Clark. William McVay is effective as the
villain and George w. Deyo Is all right in
the Iole of Joe Lorey, the moonshiner
and mountsineer. Mr.. Charles X. French
makes a lively old darkey in the charac-
ter Of Neb, the favorite chum and boss of
the little pickaninnies.
Miss Lulu Tabor is delightful little
actress and in her character of Madge
Briefly, the flower OF the mountains, easily
won the hearts of her audience. Miss
Bradley was bright and catchy in the role
OF Miss Layson, and Miss Rudsill Is
sufficiently naughty and disagreeable on
the stage to carry out the intention Of the
author of the drama in the role of Bar
bara Holton.

deservedly popular play, "Sowing the

last evening, WAS the same as was seen on
the two previous profitable visits here.
There seemed TO be no diminution OF In

appeared TO be carried away with its sem
timent and its power. This special work
of playwright 1rundy has many elements
that appeal TO the average theater patron.
il has considerable To engage intelligence
and the mind ia offered much food for
reflection. The judgment of the spectator
is commanded and there is something be-
yond mere enjoyment OF the play. II pre-
sents social problem and develops it
log ically and in straightforward way.
The appeal Is 10 the heart through intelli-
gence. Interest is constantly sustained
by love theme that has all the elements
of confemporaneous life and its working
out is attractive and convincing.
MIR. Gilmour's Interpretation of the
loving and misguided father was a work
Of art. He constantly illustrated the fact
that he was a fine actor. He was always
within bounds and played the part as
natural as life. Ii was a sustained and
carefully presented characterization.
Miss Hampton repeated her former
triumph as Rosamond. She Is a particu-
larly earnest and conscientious player,
with talent OF a high order. She has faults
in reading, due TO limitation of voice,
but this draw back is lost sight OF In the
earnestness and sincerity of her work.
She is a constant delight Mr.. Whiffen,
Mr.. Hansel and Mr.. Standing were, as on

Agent Preston's Aunt, Mrs. Cone, Rob-
 bed at the Union Depot.
 Mrs. Cone of Meriden, an aunt of Agent Preston of the Organized Chari- ties association, was robbed Of her pocketbook yesterday morning at the Union depot as she was boarding a train to return to her home. The work was done by two men, one of whom attempted to occupy 0 seat in the car which Mrs. Cone was about to take. The man pretended to go into the seat and then stopped as though wishing to get out of it, his pal in the meantime taking advantage of Mrs. Cone's confusion to snatch her pocket book as he crowded up against her. Both men ran, each taking a different door by which to make his exit. MT. Preston was on the train, but had in his charge an imbecile girl whom he was taking to Lakeville, and so could render no assistance. It was not until the men had escaped that he learned the cause of Mrs. Cones confusion.
 Fortunately Mrs. Cone had only a small sum of money in her purse. MT Preston notified the police of the affair and a sharp lookout was kept for the crooks all day yesterday.

 The numerous cases of chronic dis eases that are treated Wrongfully by the average doctor, torturing the pa tlent for years until they despair of ever getting well, takes full possession of their minds and they feel that death only will be relief, is the ever re- curing story told at the offices of the vitapathic doctors at the Elliott house. Among this class may be mentioned MT H. B. Colt, who was treated for years by the doctors for kidney com plaint and constantly growing worse. The vitapathic system was applied and these doctors treated him for cystitis and bladder inflammation and cured him in nine weeks. Hon. Charles Nor ton was cured of lumbago in three weeks. This trouble was called kidney inflammation by his family physician. Mrs. Sherman was cured of uterine trouble in two months, Her doctor pronounced her case consumption. The unerring certainty with which the vi tapathic magnetic doctors diagnose dis ease gives full assurance of a cure in all cases The number of eases suc> cessfully treated at the Elliott house was recently given in detail and cer- | tainly 1t is a report of which they may well be proud.
