GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Mr.. Joseph Callahan and company
presented Faust" before large audi
ence last night and will remain the rest
of the week. Matinee to-day and to-
morrow. Mephisto becomes in his
hands the personification Of subtle
blandness rather than repulsive eff
frontery. He gains power by soft
speech and his wiles are covered by
smoothness of action. To this the con-
trast in the Broken scene, where his
Satanic Majesty appears in his most
fiendish glory, becomes magnified and
in the nature of decided climax.
Added to this effective reading Mr..
Callahan possesses a wealth of facial
expression which heightens the charac-
ter materially and ADDS 10 it's strength.
Miss Beatrice Ingraham as Marguerite

competent, and the company is es-
pecially fortunate In the possession of

The stage mounting and scenic effects

marvel of stage neutrality-suspicious.

Is too well known to require any
waste Of words about fine goods, pure
drugs or competent attendants. For
more than twenty-five years competi-
tors have helped to advertise lis by
harping about high prices while our
customers, approaching our efforts in
their behalf, have steadily increased
and have always received good value
for their money. Yielding to the wishes
of friends in the profession who did not
care to dispense their own remedies we
some years since opened our Prescrip-
ton Department. which, with our gen
eral drug business has rapidly increased
until we have again been compelled to
enlarge our laboratory and increase our
facilities for manufacture. Our stock
of medicine is large and constantly
moving which insures the dispensing Of
only fresh drugs-and the wholesale ma
ture Of our trade among physicians is
such that we have many preparations
not found in the city. All new remedies
endorsed by the profession are found on
our shelves when called for.
