WHY?

Why do you forget SO frequently?
Why do you speak words that you so
often regret2
Why do you take up with new acqaint-
ances, forgetting old friends?
Why do you not use clear Judgment
instead OF too often acting upon impulse !?
Why do you persistently neglect your
health when it is your duty to take
special care of it?
Why are you so careless when sudden
chill, headache, tired feeling and general
disgust with life come over you?
Why do you not remember that the
best physicians, scientists and the leading
people of the land all recommend pure
whiskey as the proper thing 10 take at
such times?
Why do you not recall the fact that
there is only one pure medicinal whiskey
known 20 the world, that it is exceed
ingly popular, that it has be en- in use for
twenty years, and that it is Duffy's Pure
Malt?
Why do you not denounce any drug
gIst, grocer or dealer who tries to offer
you some other or inferior whiskey, say
ing it j. st as good?
Why do you not always insist upon
having just what you require, just what
you desre, and just what you know to
be The purest, the best and most efficient? /?

Mr.. and Mrs. Bobbn and their famous

comical performances at the Grace

night. and II is safe to say that large
audience will greet them on that occa-
sion. 1t has been a noticeable fact that
a. every entertainment given by the

been turned away foI want Of room.
However, the Tabernacle has a seating
capacity Of over thousand, and persons
may feel quite sure OF comfortable sit
tings" on this occasion. All the old favo-
rites-Trilby, Juliet Shakespeare and her
Romeo, Davy Doodle, Alviry Jerushe.

PLAYS OF THE WEEK.
Return OF TriIby; Wilton Lack"ye
Comipg-The Yellow Kid.

'Trilby," the greatest success OF last
season. will be brought to the Academy
of Music for matinee and evening per-
formances on Tuesday. The company
Is under the direction of Mr.. William A.
Brady, and ii is promised that the play
VIII be produced here with all the beauti-
full scenery, costumes, and original music
which marked its presentation in New
York city.
There was no difference OF opinion
among the members Of the large audience
which gathered to see the play when
il was given here last season. The fayo-
rable verdict was unanimous, the atten-
ton of the audience was won at the be-
ginning. and the interest kept up TO the
end. Mr.. Potter has made a play that
fairly teens with action and dramatic
effect. Every situation Is reasonable
and natural There are no anti-climaxes,
no repetition, no theatrical devices, and
the development OF the story Is Logical
ana consistent at all times.
one OF tho most important presenta-
lions of the season will be that of 'Dr.
Belgraff," on Thursday night. The event
will also be of more than ordinary in
terest. as IL will present one of the most
popular actors in this country In a new
play that Is said 10 be intensely inte-
resting. Mr.. Lackaye has been for years
considered one of the foremost character
actors Of the contemporary stage. His
work has always the subtle force and
artistic finish that mark the efforts of a
conscientious actor. and as DIR. Bel

him all possible scope. The title role
appears TO be not alone In the require
ments Of strong acting, and Mr.. Lackaye

MAN AND HIS FELLOw-MEN.
Rabbi CaIisch breaches on Rash ana
Cruel Judgments.

"Bigotry" was the subject Of an in
tenseIy interesting sermon delivered by
Rabbi Calisch at Beth Ahaba synagogue
Yesterday morning He took as his text
the saying Of two of the Jewish Fathers
"Iudge all men in the scale of merit"
and, Judge not thy neighbor till thou
hast stood in his place"
Thought that IS stagnant, he said. sees
nothing good in its neighbors, and con-
stantly vaunts itself of its superiority.
Thought that is progressive ives on for
ever. Bigotry is stagnant thought. 1t
IS the assumption of mental position
that is not only immovable by argument
and deaf to the voice Of ratiocination,
but that does not concede any value or
utility to a position that differs with IT
self; and, like a stagnant pool. bigotry
perishes when the summer sun of an en-
6ightened age beats upon it,
The word bigot was generally asso-
clated with the intolerant devotee of
religious creed, but there Is as much mar
rowness among processing liberals as
among strong sectarians. To illustrate
this point Rabbi Calisch related an in
cident Of the last campaign, when mem
bers of the Free-Thought Federation
fvho were silver mem wrote such sharp
letters TO Robert G. Ingersoll, who was
well known to be a strong gold" man,
that that gentleman declined to address
the federation, according to arrange
ment. Their professed free thought
meant only thought that agreed with
theirs.
Continuing, ne said: II Is this in
tolerance that has made the world weep,
and has stained the darkest pages of
history. Strange paradox Of human
folly where there should have been most
love, there was most hate; where great
est gentseness should have reigned, most
hoTrid cruelty took possessions, where
most mercy should have blessed 1him
who gave and him who received" relent-
less persecution cursed the victim, and
the vicious victor.
But history is silent as to the num-
berless wrongs that have been done by
men 10 their neighbors, under the bale
full spell OF zeal- blinded judgment An
enlightened age and a God-endowed land
of freedom have made the doing of ply
steal injury TO differing fellow-men an
unpleasant undertaking. But our minds
have not kept pace with out hands.
Where the hand refrains from harm. the
mind hesitates not to- hurt. The per-
verse, unkind. and unjust estimates that
we make OF our nelghbors and their ac-
lions are but too of,en the fruit Of an
evil growth that is in ourselves. The
contorted and ungracious judgments, the
assignments OF lowest motive TO every
deed. when motive Is unknown TO us; the
assertion of selfish purpose TO every &C
ton. are but a few ways that we have
OF showing the bigotry that still bides
with Us. 1t would be a happy period
whey men would act according TO the
counsel OF the Fathers, as quoted.
