Tho eighth annual competition OF THE Sun
Individual Championship tournament will soon
be under way, and in order to make rs good
showing as possible the fifteen bowlers who are
to strive for the honors are busy taking their

has a split finger, the men are said to be in good

that his hand, which was injured some time ago,
will not stand the strain and he will be COM
PEELED to retire before the tournament is fin

moderating his speed he will be able to stand
the pace. Unusual interest is being manifested
in the event. each of the contestants having q

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed con- ditior of the mucous lining of the eusta- chian tube. When this tube is infiamed you have a rumbling sound or imper- feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca- tarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

PLAYS AND PLAYERS

There are many southerners who well remember the night at the national capi- tai in 1886 when Mrs. W. c. Whitney. then wife of the secretary of the navy, announced in her drawing room that Mrs. James Brown Potter would give a recitation. The Whitney reception was at its height. There was a momentary Hull. Mrs. Potter tan graceful, looking more Theatrical than she does today, came forward She recited "Os1er Jo.'S Diplomatic circles went wild about her. It was a. supreme moment in her life. Isabel Castleman was not half as proud when John Jacob Astor crowned her quesn of beauty at the Charity Ball as was Mrs. Potter that night at the Whit
The age-herald., 1897-11-07

Play-goers here will recall Mrs. Por- ter's limited wardrobe that she we're to such disadvantage during an engage ment here three seasons ago. The dress ing rooms in the theater did not warrant Mrs Potters unpacking her boxes. She wore the first thing she came to. Kyrle Bellew called her attention on more than one occasion to some disarrangement of her dress. I saw her once on an eastern bound train. She was one of the most carelessly attired women that have ever seen.
 In London she is creating a sensation by her clothes. The London public are however, disappointed in her improve ment in dramatic art. Mrs. Potter has again failed to set the Thames on fire.
 The Londoners have had this season coterie of American singers in grand opera at Covent Garden. Not the Lon doners that you see on the lawn in front of Stanhope Gate or the people from the East End of London, but the other class that frequent Hyde Park and gaze at the smart people in their smart traps The Garden during the secondary season of opera. The De Reszkes, Melba and Flames were not there.
 Instead there were a number of Ameri- cans who covered themselves with glory. Jean de Reszke has a young protege,
 
 the principal tenor roles. He is V1r- g.nian by birth, the son of the well known editor and novelist, Virginnis Dabney. MT. D'Aubigne was at one time the leading tenor in St. Thomas church, New York. His aspirations, however, were toward comic opera and for two years he was with MT. Daly's farces. His stage work began five years ago.
 Calve is anxious that he shall sing "Faust" to her Marguerite" in Paris and he is also to sing "Lohengvin and "Siegfried" in the provinces this month. With this foreign approval, Maurice Grau would be safe in bringing him back to America for the season of grand opera next winter. Mir Grau, however, promises the return of old favorites. Melba will be with Mr. Damrosch and Mir. Ellis primarily but this will not clash with Mr. Grau's plans Van Dyck's dulcet tenor will be heard as Don Jose in Carmen Jean de Reszke at a little dinner in London the other night showed h.s magnanimity to- ward Van Dyck. He will relinqush any orle that has been considered his to Van Dyck. He has only to say the word.
 There is bound to be scrimmage when want to sing Loki and Siegmund in the "Rheingold" and "Walkure" and the two Siegfreid i'm Siegfried and the Getter- darnmerung and Van Dycl1 will com clude that he was brought over to Amer ica to be an under study for Jean de Reszke.
 Madame Lamperti, the widow of the famous Maestro Francesca Lampcrti is at present in this country and she has told some interesting incidents in the
