BLEAK HOUSE.
In This Strong Play Jane Coombs Is Mt
Her Very Best.

In This Strong Play Jane Coombs Is ut
Her Very Best.
Jane Coombs and Janet Waldorf will
open their Butte engagement with
BLEAK House at the Mcguire with
New Years day matinee. Since the
announcement of their coming in
dramatiZation of Dickens great story
readers of that popular author have
been refreshing their memories of
Bleak House. and others who never
read the story before have been perus-
ing 1t. The Record of Troy, y. Y, has
the following review of the play and its
production by COMBS and Waldorf
Last night il was refreshing to look
upon the audience that Witnessed
Bleak House Most of those present
at some time during their life had fallen
under the magic spell of Charles Dick
ems had been enthralled by the won
derful power of his matchless stories
and with a thrill remember yet the old
old tales of human misery and despair
that darken the pages of that immortal
Miss Coombs as Lady Dedlock was
revelation, the curtain had scarcely
risen before the strong dramatic sub
tlety of the woman could be seen 10 fall
upon the house like a spell. calm and
subdued. The actress was completely
possessed of all the exacting situations
of the play and arose faultlessly to
each climax. Her careful guarding of
her secret in the scene where Tulking-
horn subjects her to a cross-e Xamina-
ton to eXtort a confession. her forced
composure during her agony and finally
her defiance of Tulkinghorn after he
had gained possession Of the letters
which places her in his power were
mastery, and the house rang again
and again with applause. In the fourth
act where Lady Dedlock discloses her
identity to her child. it is no exaggera-
ton to say that the audience was
bathed in tears for the repentant
mother.
The Hortense of Miss Janet Wal
dorf was perhaps the most remarkable
piece of character work ever seen in
this city. 1t will never be forgotten by
anyone who has Witnessed it. 1t was
pervaded with a crafty. revengeful
passionate, reckless deviltry that was
startling. The supporting company
was among the best seen in Troy this
season."

Is Life Worth Living?

If there is an individual on earth who
is excusable for thus interrogati ting him
self, it is the unhappy mortal who suf-
fers from malaria in some one of its di-
abolical forms. This is no difficult con
undrum, however. Life is worth liv-
ing by any man or woman who enjoys
good health, ar d is not harrassed by a
reproachfoi conscience. The malarial
scourge. heavily laid on, is terrible
one for the poor sufferer to endure. A
series of freezings, screenings aud
sweats-the last leaving one as limp and
as strengthless as a dish rag, are hard
indeed, recurring as they do with
fiendish regularity. Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters is the world wide known
preventive and curative of this class of
maladies, either in the form of ague and
fever. bilious remittent, dumb ague and
ague cake. Used with persistence they
will, rely upon it, eradicate disease
from the system. They also conquer
rheumatism, kidney and bladder com
paints, nervousness. dyspepsia, liver
complaint and constipation. and renew
failing strength.

fully shown, by Miss Finch from
Maine
Supt. Trotter took the right course
in selecting this lady, and ne could
please the Berkeley teachers no bet
ter than TO secure her services for in
structor at the next Martinsburg In
stitute.
We thank Superintendent Trotter
for this piece of engineering. We
thank him also for securing Prof.
Foulk, who is deep and sound to the
hearts core, and though modest aud
unassuming in manner is an able in
structor. who, but for our partiality
for the lady teacher, would stand first
on the list of successful Institute con-
ductors.
Some OF the unexpected but enjoy
able features were the address OF
State Superintendent Trotter, brilliant
and witty. Even his reproofs and
criticisms Were all sugar-coated, and
went flying down without single
grimace. side and side with his gilded
words like fre-fies along the ope-
quon on dark night.
Why, with his magnetism, hand
some features, impulsive manner,
flashing eyes, and gilt.edged words,
he just picked you up. turned you
round till you were dizzy, carried you
off into the upper regions, then let
you drop like an icicle loosened from
shed roof if you wanted to hold to
an old opinion, or tried to check his
irresistible, whirlwind advance! But
then, however much we may admire
Superintendent Trotter, we think he
will need all the ability he possesses,
to fill his office with such fidelity, to
toll with such unremitting zeal and
unfiagging energy, to hold the high
esteem of all parties, the wearing,
constant love of all who know of his
life and work, to maintain our w.

nal, who, with all his eloquence, was
not able to secure more than ~ sub

subscribers in Berkeley county, while
some counties have $50 and more
But for our more generous sister
counties we could not have a state
journal.
Among other attractive features of
the Institute was a lecture by Mr..
Tough, one by Prof Cole and one by
Mr. |. G. Kent; the unusual sociabil-
ity among the teachers and the great
number of youthful faces; the marked
interest in the work; the fatherly and
digniied oversight of our much loved
County Superintendent Jas. Snyder;
the presence of Prof. Kimler, and
many friends Of I.or.
