Firm belief and confidence in a family

This is especially true in nervous troubles,
and no field offers so prolific a harvest for

arising from a weak or run down nervous

Nevertheless, the most common of all dis

which in turn cause nervous diseases, heart

quires something besides faith to cure.

"The Sporting Duchess with It's

The week before Christmas is always the
most unproductive of the enire season in
theatricals. Humanity rushes to the stores
and avoids the playhouses. For this req
son English's Opera House viii remain dark
until Saturday. when 1.-THE Sporting
Duchess opens the holiday season with one
Of the most attractive melodramatic pro-
auctions that has stopped in this city in
years. Before this spectacular play opened
in New York $4,000 was expended in
scenery. costumes and effects One of the
strongest casts ever seen in such play
has been secured. those taking the principal
roles being stars OF the first magnitude
whose work alone would be sufficient to
make even an ordinary play a success
Among these may be mentioned FfolIiott
Paget, Louis Massen, ]. H. Stoddart, Cora
Tanner and Edmund Collier The manv
features of THE Sporting Duchess" have
furnished material for columns, and the
great Derby scene on the race track at
EPSON Downs has been the subject of
magazine articles TO assist in giving a
thrilling and life-like effect to this famous
scene from the famous English race track
the company carries five thoroughbred race
horses, which will be ridden by Jockeys in
one of the most realistic scenes ever at
tempted on the stage. To give an adequate
representation of the events treated in the
play over sixty performers are required. In
the first act during the regimental ball in
the great palace scene there is a cotilIion
in which the entire company takes part.
The Endorsement received by 1.-THE Sporting
Duchess in this country is backed up with
the reputation of years run in London at
the SALISBURY Theater when it was pro-
duced as 1.-THE Derby Winner" A cheap
American play that had an ill-starred ex-
perience under the same name caused the
managers to rechristen the play on this side,
taking it's name from the leading character.

English duchess, who ran a racing stable
