the little Held made her rirst entree into
Paris. Her sweet voice with Its clear
diction, her charming gesture with the
silent smile of sweet innocence combined
with the highest art OF subtlety, soon won
for her the name she deserves. In appear

surprising that she should have achieved
even greater success on the same spot
than that accorded the famed Yvette

meaning that touches the hearts OF all
and by her versatility wins all hearts.

An engagement which hos be n looked
forward to with considerable antici nation
is the revival OF "a Psrior Motch', the
last half Of the week at the Providence

Interesting inasmuch as these two fsyorito

Grand opera being the highest form of art
enlists the most extraordinary efforts of gem
ius. A great tenor or n distinguished prima
donna should excclsnot only in lyric beauty
but in bistrionic skill, andd compare with the
tasks achieved by the chief singers now at the
Metropolitan Opera House, New York, the ac-
complishments Of ordinarily good actors seem
insignificant. One Of the greatest comedians of
modern times is Edouard de Reszke. The
fin 1t tragedienne OF opera is Emma Calve.
Eleonora Duse. although i'm many particulars
the most distinguished tragedienne OF the
times never touches in the play those effects >

more remarkable by the fact that the prima
donnas art is twice as difficult as that Of the
actress. Duse has only 10 think of her lines
and their proper expression, whereas Calve
must sing well as act, hold her eyes ON the
conductor instea of on ALTO and Turridu, and
keep time with the chorus, the orchestra, and
the artist singing duets with her. In spite OF
these varied duties Nine. Calves Santuzza is

MoCLuRE's MAGAZINE FOR May

MoCLURE's MAGAZINE FOR May
The May number of Mc Clure's
Magazine has an article that every
body will read with eager interest.
1t is Ray Stannard Bakers account
of the pursuit and capture of Booth,
after his assassination of Lincoln,
and of his death and burial. There
has been more or less written on this
subject before but Mr.. Baker is a
relative of Col. L. G. Baker and
Lieutenant L. B. Baker, the two
men who, as government detectives,
were specially charged with the
pursuit and capture, and who them
selves disposed of Booths body.
The paper is based upon informa-
tion derived by the writer directly
from them and never before publish
ed and it gives, undoubtedly, the
fullest and most accurate account of
Booths last days and death, that has
yet appeared. After lying for a
number of years under the stone
floor of the old penitentiary at
Washington, Booths body, Mr..
Baker discloses, is now buried in
Baltimore.

MENT.-The entertainment given by
the Rainbow Circle of the Kings
Daughters, at the Central Opera

"An Evening with the Ladies OF the

Young and Lettie Meadows, and a
recitation was delivered by Miss
Bessie Deck, after which young la
dies were shown in large frames, and
in a powerful light. A short biog-

AN IMPORTANT TEST OF QUALITY
The quality of q newspaper, like
that of an individual, is best de.
termined by its bearing under cir.
cumstances that try its capacity
The gathering of the news of the
Graco-Turkish war is case in
point. As soon as it became rea.
sonably certain that there would be
fighting the Philadelphia Press sent
staff correspondents to the capitals
of the countries involved. In cou.
sequence the Press has had every
day prompt, complete and accurate
information of every move on each
side of the conflict. No other Phila.
delphia paper has had this service
and only few other papers in the
country have gone to the same trou.
BILE and expense. 1t is gratifying to
note this new evidence that the
Philadelphia Press neglects no op.
por,unity to strengthen its position
as PennsylvaGia's greatest news
paper.

There is comfort in the knowl-
edge so often expressed that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in

bility to hold urine and scalding
pain in passing it, or bad effects fol.
lowing use of liquors, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant nee
essity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and the extraordi-
nary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for
its wonderful cures OF the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medi-
