Warning to Mr.. Cranes ADMIRERS
Frem tue New York Tribune.
The public has come to look upon Will
liam H. Crane as a fun-maker a come
dian clear through, and a man who under
no consideration is to be taken seriously
His plays have always been jovial, hearty
and wholesome, with never a tinge of
sadness in them. The departure he made
this year in choosing play in which in
the last act he dies has upset to some
extent this belief that he cannot portray
the tragic side of life. A striking instance
of the feeling of the public on the matter
happened at the 5th Avenue Theater re-
Gently.
The curtain had been up for several min
utes and the play had fairly started when
a carriage drove up to the door. Two men
and two women alighted. They were in
evening dress and also in particularly good
humor. They had evidently had a good
dinner and were ready and willing to bub-
BILE over with enthusiasm. They were look
ing for comedy and were ready 10 laugh.
AS they passed through the door one OF
the men said with a chuckle:
"Ill bet it's great. L always laugh at
Crane"
When the curtain was rung down after
Crane. in the part of the wornout. world
Wearied man had quietly breathed his last
the little party soberly put their wraps
and started cut. AS they passed through
the door one of the women said:
well, how did you like it?'
The man savagely kicked a program out
Of his way and replied in gruff way:
1--WE been bunt oed."
"Why, how?" asked the woman in sur
prise.
"Wen," and here he wrapped his heavy
coat around his throat, Il came here to
laugh-not to cry" and then the party
passed out into the night.

attack of Malarial Fever. He complained of in

After he recovered from the fever he became
permanently deaf Nothing our physician did
for him helped him in the least, SO We decided to
employ specialist, and having
Heard the Praises of Doctor Mccoy
sounded OH all sides by people whom they had
benefited and cured decided to take Caryl to

We had been obliged to take him from school
becaus. he could hear the teacher when she

He couldn't hear the bells ring. He might stand
by the side of street piano and even then he
could not hear the music. The ticking of watch
he couldn't hear the clock when standing very
near it.
His little sister when at play would get close
to his ear and call right into it TO make him under
stand.
You can imagine our surprise and delight When
one day
He Answered Readily When Spoken
To
in an ordinary voice Now he hears everything
perfectly We do not have to raise our voices
He hears watch tick. He goes to school again
and hears as well he ever could
Another thing l notice is that whereas he was
formerly subject to colds and the slightest one
would throw him a fever and make him very

Maurice Fitzgerald have heartily entered.
Indeed, there is serious talk of sending
Captain Boycott as M. P. for the intensely
national district Of Mayo, in which he lives.
This would, indeed. be change OF opinion
but Ireland has ever been q country of
such surprises. Certainly the venerable
land agent would make a vigorous legis-
1ator.
The first newspaper to use the verb 'to
boycott was United ireland. a fiery organ
Of the radical wing Of the Parnellite party.
The stamp Of journalistic approval was set
on the word by the London Times in De-
cember, 1880. and the American papers
seized on II with avidity as filling long
felt want A few years later all the prin-
oiral English dictionaries, and several for
eign ones, admitted it to their columns.

One thing is certain, 1t will not do to
fool with bad cold. No one can teIl
what the end will be. Pneumonia,
catarrh, chronic bronchitis, if not con-
sumption, invariably result from a
neglected cold. 1t is surprising too, that
bad colds are so often neglected when
one remembers how easily and at what
little expense they may be cured. Cham

prompt and effectual, and costs but a

The Lewistons played the local team at
polo last night in City hall and were de-
feated by a score of 6 to 8.
n Before the professional game was
called tho Forest Citys met the South
Portlands, and after an exciting contest
IN which the teams were obliged to play
over time on account Of q tie, the Forest
Citys won by score of 2 to /.
THE AMATEUR GAME.
At last the South POI tlands have met
victors in half a dozen games with
amateur teams the boys from Pooduck
were beautifully turned down last night
by the Forest Citys. But the victory was
not an oasy one for the latter team by
any means. The Forest Ctiys had to
Zig bit for every point they made. and If
luck hadn't favored them by making
Referee johnson blind at just the right
moment the South Portlands would have
been the viotors after ALL.

they are apt to let their excitement get
little the best of them, and foul one an
other in way that would never be
allowed in professional contest. 1t is
only when these fouls are so apparent to
everybody. and ara such open violations
of the rules of polo that the referee of an
amateur game is expected to interfere.
Referee johnson understands this very
well, and usually is not very stringent
about enforcing the rules or calling fouls
but last night he was forced to take some
notice of the fouls made and this fact
played an important part in tho result of
the game.
In the first period the Forest Citys won
two goals by excellent team work, COM
bined with good luck. They also made
two fouls ana 80, when in the second
psriod the South Portlands made goal
the score WINS tied. 1t was then necessary
for the teams to play over time. The
South PortIands had two fouls to their
credit or rather diseredis. and when the
two teams had been playing about five
minutes overtime one of the South Port
lands made third foul Had Referee
johnson ssen this third foul, which was
a case of deliberate holding, the game
would have been ended RICH. there by
score of to 0 in favor of the Forest CitJs
as the South Portlands would have been
Obliged to have forfeited their only goal.
But Johnson didn't see this foul by
South Portland. though about every one
else saw it, and SO TIE game continued
ten minutes and more over time when
Sterling. by what is known as "bull
luck" succeeded in caginR the ball and
winning the deciding goal.
The crowd became very excited during
this amateur game, and cheered and
yelled like maniacs. The summary OF
tn game follows:
