"LOST--A BRIDE"

Whenever one man steps in and does
the work OF his predecessor so as to
gain more praise, than the one before
him, there is generally hue and cry
against the newcomer. 1t is strange, in
view of this to note how well liked per-
sonally Francis j. Piesse, the English
playwright, is among the American au-
thors of stage-productions Two years
ago, there were probably few theatre
goers in this country among those, who
do not annually go across the water, y
who knew the name of Francis j. Piesse
while today every one, who has been
following the theatrical news of the
country during the present season. is
familiar with the fact that the English
man is. responsible for the many yoci
ferrous acclamations Of applause and
merry peals of laughter evoked, by the
genuinely funny comedy "Lost--A
Bride which farce viii be presented
here as the special holiday attraction
at the Metropolitan Opera House, on
Thursday, December 30th.

A Rumor to This Enect-Other Changes
Spoken Of on the Southern.
II rumors are true, there is to be a
general shaking up among the officials
of the Southern railway the first of the
new year.
1t is said that General Superintendent

ton with the Southern and that after the

that Mr.. Barrett will take Capt Green's
place as general superintendent.

prevent
pneumonia

Prevention is always better than
cure, even when cure is possible.
But SO many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes the
natural act of that instinct of self
preservation which is "the first law
of nature" Pneumonia can be pre-
vented and is often cured by the use
of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
"Some years ago 1 had a severe cold and
was threatened with pneumonia. | could
neither eat nor sleep, and was in wretched
condition. procured a bottle OF Ayers
Cherry Pectoral and took it according to the
directions. and at the end of ifteen daysw as

monia since, and have never known it to fail
in effecting a cure

Amid all the adverse decisions of

Maj. Wilson, who is very young in

Wilson, who is in Washington City.
