Electric Bitters is a medicine suit

generally when the languid ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of tonic and Alternative is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, indigestion, con-

for the admirers of this class of en-

Whytal are pair of artists such as
win the plaudits of their auditors
from their first appearance. In "For
Fair Virginia" which is from the pen
of Mr.. Whytal, they are furnishing
the public with a piece whose inter-
est never wears and of a character
widely at variance with the class of
latter-day productions. The plot
hinges on an incident of the civil
war, and the manner in which it is
woven and intermingled with dia-
logue of the southern humor is
something beautiful. MIR. and Mrs.
Whytal are surrounded with an ex-
cellent company and the scenery
used in connection with the piece is
very handsome and appropriate-the
company carrying every piece OF
scenery used in the production. In
''For Fair Virginia" there are some
powerful climaxes and the company's
artistic enactment of them was given
enthusiastic recognition by curtain
calls.

THE EVENING PAPER.
1t 10 the Record OF the Day and Dinerer
From the Morning Paper

1t ID the Record OF the Day and Different
From the Morning Paper.
The Philadelphia Telegraph hits
the nail on the head when it saws
that the spirit which governs the
newspaper world has conquered
everything. 1t sweeps away obsta-
cles which former generations would
have regarded as insurmounta-
BILE. Its quickness is the mar
vel of the age. Thus 1t has
como about in all our American
cities that the evening paper is the
record of the day and its events from
far and near. great aud small. while
the morning paper is necessarily but
the record OF yesterday. The fact is
now generally recognized. though
cutie reluctantly and for obvious
reasons, by many of those especially
concerned. The evening newspaper
comes into the counting room, the
home and the club, fresh as the
breezes which seem to watt from
other lands the messages it contains.
The morning newspaper energies
from the darkness, having been pre-
pared while the millions to whom it
specially appeals for support have
been at rest. This striking change
in the journalistic arena is one in
accordance with the methods of the
time. and the advancement thus
noted must continue. Revolutions
of this kind never go backward. The
evening newspaper must continue to
increase in popularity, influence and
usefulness as a newsgatherer, and at
the same time exercise still greater
powers in the field OF discussion of
passing events.
