ROBERT DOWNING.

At the Opera House on next Monday
evening Saumet's great play the Glad
iator. will be presented by the distin-
guished American tragedian, Robert
Downing. Mr. Downing will be seen as
Nero, the gladiator, character IN
which he probably has no peer, and one
which he has presented over 1000 times.
II is a part which Mr. Downing has
made distinctly his own, character
in which more than any other, perhaps,
he climbs higher upon the ladder OF
dramatic excellence, lifting it often in
10 the realm of su5limity. Although
during the past ten years Ir Downing
has appeared in nearly all OF the lead
ing characters in Shakespeare's plays,
and in the standard legitimate drama,
the Gladiator is the role with which
his name is most closely allied, and IL IS
the one in which the great American
public insist with the most persistency
on seeing him.
MRS. GEN. TOM THUMB.
A rare treat is offered to the patrons
of the Grand Opera House for the last
three DAYS of this week, beginning
Thursday night and will give matinee
Saturday. This will be the last season
for these wonderful little people in
America, as they will soon start on their
fourth and last trip around the world.
The following is taken from the Day
ton Times: Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb
and her company of Lilliputians, who
are playing for three days at the Park,
arrived in the city yesterday morning.
Although advanced in years the little
lady is a sbright and pleasant as she
was when first appearing in this city
in the sixties. She has wonderful his
tory. and perhaps there has not been a
person in this city within recent years
who has come in contact with and been
universally admired by so many dis
tinguished persons and magnates in
general

Opening a Slulce Gate

Relieves a dam of a superabun-
dance of water. The bowels are a
kind of sluice gate of the system,
and serve to carry off superhuities
which would otherwise food and
damage it. Constipation obstructs
this avenue of escape. HOstetters
stomach Bitters opens it and re-
ieves the system. This it does
gently and gradually, but COM
pIetely, and does not, like a violent
purgative, gripe, convulse and
trench the bowels, and leave them
weak and unfit for efficient service
afterwards, On the contrary, it
iuvigorates and regulates at the
same time that it relieves them. 1t
also strengthens and imparts ac-
tivity to the stomach, liver and
kidneys, counteracts tendency to
rheumatism and invigorates the
nervous system. For the relief and
prevention of chills and fever,
bilious remittent, dumb ague and
ague cake, it has no peer among
modern remedies. Persons con-
valescing or suffering from the de-
bility or infrmities of age find il
highly beneficial.

His Animal Food.

Pat Shinnegan works on the Allen
place. and his mind is no poetic mind,
and whatever comes into it receives a
literal construction that sometimes
makes it unacceptable when it comes
out again. In fact, Pats mind is very
sausage machine of mind.
q Now, it happens that Pat was feeling
i'll for some days, and so, as his employ
er is an M. D.. full f1edged, albeit some
what young in years, Pat applied to
him for remedy. The doctor asked the
symptoms, felt his pulse, examined his
tongue. and did whatever else profess
sional etiquette demanded. Then he
said:
Patrick, you're run down bit.
that's all. What you need is animal
food.
And Pat departed quite contented.
About two days afterword the doctor
happened to think of his case, and call
ed ON Pat in the stable.

Not tho Place For the Snnn.

A famous French prima donna when
acting delights in big basin of soup,
smoking hot and we'll favored with
grated cheese. On one occasion she was
engaged for a few nights at Marseilles,
and her first thought on arriving there
was to inquire Where she could order her
favorite dish. She was recommended to
patronize a humble restaurant just by
the theater, and going there gave her
order i'll person.
AT 8 o'clock, as arranged, mine host
called his serving maid, and placing a
gigantic tureen in her hands told her to
take it to Mime. c. on the stage. He
added that orders had been given to let
her pass with her bowl, and on the
girl s assurance that she would recognize
the cantatrice sent her off with the soup.
Everybody gave way before the servant
carrying the sacred meal of the star,
when suddenly between the wings she
caught sight of the prima donna, who
was singing the finale of the first act of
Lucia. "
Ravenswood and his betrothed were
just about to begin the passionate scene
which brings down the curtain when the
maid entered aud placed the tureen ON
the NOISY bank i'll front of the fountain
Then lifting up the cover and plugging
in spoon she exclaimed to the stupe,
faction of actors and audience alike:

TOBACCO HEART"
HOW 1T COMES AND WHAT
IT Is. HOW A MAN CAN
USE TOBACCO
SAFELY.

Any man who smokes TO excess knows
what tobacco heart is. IC is weak
nervous action of that organ. alternated
with occasional palpitation, cold hands
aud fett Especially the latier), dimness
of vision, specks before the eyes, dull
ness ol brain, shortness of breath, dys-
pepsia bad taste in the mouth mornings,
and disordered bowels.
These are few of the symptoms. and
they are all due to the poisons of tC-
bacco. Every man who uses tobacco
has, every now and then, days when Il
cigar or pipe doesn't taste good, and
is thrown away in disgust. My
stomach is out of order or, II must be
bilious" is the usual thought. 1t IS
neither. Your system is surcharged
with the poison.
Your kidneys find themselves unable
to throw off the Nicotine in the Urine.
Consequently every organ aud tissue in
the body is clogged and poisoned
Anything that will set your Kidneys
to acting promptly and thoroughly will
quickly relieve you.
DIR. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills will
do this and do it naturally aud harmless
ly. And they will do more than that.
The poison of tobacco, even when not
used to excess renders the Kidneys
sluggish, aud every organ in the body
feels the result.
Other poisoos that should be thrown
out are not thrown out.
Hence the stomach, brain, heart, eye
and other symptoms.
By using DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney
Pills, not only Nicotine but every other
poison will be rapidly and regularly
carried out of the body. You can then
use tobacco and not feel its bad effects.
A cigar can never then be said to mot
taste good
And your general health will be
perfect.
DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills are
endorsed by the best Physicians and
sold by druggists at 80 cents. A valu-
able book mailed free. Address Hobbs

How Nature Makes Silver.

The process by which nature forms
her silver mines is very interesting. 1t
must be remembered that the earth S
crust is full of water, which percolates
everywhere through the rocks, making
solutions of elements obtained from
them. These solutions take up small
particles of precious metal which they
find here and there.
Sometimes the solutions in question
are hot, the water having got so far
down as to be set boiling by the inter
nal heat Of the globe. Then they rush
upward, picking up the bits of metal as
they 60 Naturally heat assists the FER
formance of this operation.
Now and then the streams thus form
ed, perpetually flowing hither and thith-
er below the ground, pass through
cracks or cavities in the rocks, where
they deposit their lodes of silver This
is kept up for great length of time
perhaps thousands of years-until the
pocket is filled up.
Crannies permeating the stony mass
in every direction may become filled
with the precious metal, or occasionally
a chamber may be stored full of it as If
1000, 600 hands were fetching the treas
ures from all sides and hiding away a
mine for some lucky prospector to dis
cover in another age. London Stand
