In presenting the case OF Chas s. Miller, aged
eight years, of s. ST. Patrick Street, Frederick,
Md, Doctor Cowden wishes TO particularly call the
attention of parents TO the necessity of having
any defect in hearing of their children looked
after and corrected before the disease has taken
such firm hold that they may be incapacitated
for study andbe compelled to leave school Many
pupils who are naturally bright are backward III
their studies and are considered dull by their
teachers because their hearing is defective and
they unable 10 catch the many important
thoughts that are constantly coming up. That
this misfortune is cured by Doctor Cowden' ;
treatment is proven by the following case:
His parents, in speaking Of the case, said:
about three years ago We began to notice that
Charles's hearing was beginning 10 be affected,
but, as he had just passed throught an attack OF
measles. and some months later an attack OF
scarlet fever, we did not pay much attention 10 II,
thinking IL only natural result OF the diseases.
But as IL grew constantly worse and we noticed
he could not hear ordinary conversation. not
being able 10 hear conversation AT
meals. became worried. Upon questioning
him, found he suffered constantly from head
aches, severe pains in the ears. dizziness, and
vertigo. He seemed TO loss a interest in. things
which before he had taken great delight in, and
became 50 dull that friends remarked the change
His progress in school became very slow, his
teacher having to call him up to her chair in
order 70 instruct him. and had remarked his dull
ness. His appetite failed him; he coushed very
much: his nostriis became olosged; his ears dis
charged; IN fact, he complained lnCesSsntiy.
Finally, were induced by a friend who was
taking treatment Of Doctor cowden To place
Charles under the doctors care with results eIni-
nently satisfactory. His hearing is now perfect.

headaches, dizziness, pains in the ears. and cough

Lafayette-"La Tosca.-

The law of inverse proportion must Ger
tainly have prevailed yesterday evening
at the Lafayette. attendance at the initial
production OF the Melbourne MacDowell-
Blanche Walsh combination being as
meager as was the presentation artistic.
A feeling of doubt that anyone could ac-
ceptably I'LL the roles OF the lamented
Fanny Davenport must certainly account
for the paucity of the welcoming audi
ence as did the extremely capable work
of the two new stars for the manifest en-
thusiasm. Washington last night pro-
nounced Miss Walsh q success. 50 hearty
a verdict being rarely accorded the sue
cessor to one so truly great
The bill for the opening was La ToSca,
and the play was offered with the stu
dious care which has always characterized
Miss Davenport's productions. Equai
pains in scenic detail and costumins were
manifest and in naught save her an
sence did the La Tosca' of today uifler
from that of the previous season MISS
Walsh is more than acceptabie-she IS
good. and her Interpretation OF the role
differs but slightly from that of its Amer
lean creator. In the lighter scenes she Is.
If ANYTHING. the Superior of her predeces-
sor She could not equal Miss Dayen-
nort's work in the stronger situations.
For all that. her Interpretation Is oil SO
high an order so replete with latent en-
orgy and visible passion. that call after
cau was accorded her. Mr.. MacDowea Is,
as over excellent. and the smaller roles
are well cared for. especially in the case
az the Mario Of Arthur Elliott.

'Nationai-'Hon. John GriEsby.''
Most of the plays Sol Smith Russell has
brought here during his long stellar ca
reer have been tailor-made Hon John
Grigsby, ;, in which he appeared last night
at the National, is not at variance with
this rule, but Charles Klein took the
measure so hastily that the piece does not
fit as it might and, therefore, leaves the
star scope to do several things he proba-
bly, would not have tried had the tight
ness of the garment been left to him.
And 50 ii is that in his latest offering
Mr.. Russell is less himself than ever be-
fore and more the man he portrays. Not
that there are no manners and manner
isms left to remind one of his old favor
ite but that these are TO some degree
modera ted and modulated by the clever
ness of the impersonator. John Grigsby
is a Sol Smith Russell part, but Sol
Smith Russell has not hitherto seemed
of the John Grigsby nature.
The supporting company is partially
good William Farnum, who has never
before been seen in this city, excepting
in heavy roles, makes excellent inn
preston with neat, clever, intelligent
Characterization that implies more than
IL expresses and realizes most or all. Mr..
Farnum is a good actor and deserves
better chance to4shew it. There are few
villains who can be scoundrelly without
seeming melodramatic and James Lack
aye is one of the few If one may judge
from his work Of last night, while Alfred
Hudson, William Sampson and Jaques
Martin all establish their cleverness in
light comedy to the complete satisfaction
Of everyone. William Cullington and Lii
onel Barrymore do not please. nor does
Florence Rockwell whose conception of
her lines seems altogether at fault. Fam
ny Addison Pitt appears 10 her usual ad
vantage, while Lila Convers and Alice
Thiel are appropriately girlish.
The play Is rather neutral in its virtues
Written without definite purpose, II ap-
pears 10 be of weak milk-and-water
flavor, while both its humor and its
pathos are horid-its characters indistinct
and unaccountable. There is in the
story however, much that is interesting
and one may laugh al the incidents or cry
at the suggestions without reservation
The lines are witty and the business often
50 humorous that the house forgot the
interest due the story in watching the
by-play. In fact the plot Is very minor
portion of Hon John Grigsby and Is
treated as such Madame Modjeska next.

is Ashley Cooper's "Trilby." which has
just been placed on exhibition at 1913
Pennsylvania Avenue. The pose Of the
figure is perfect and the manner in which
the idea has been executed has produced
a painting SO realistic that one cannot
help feeling that the heroine OF du Maui
rier's book may step from the canvas
at any moment with a broken-hearted
confession on her lips. The color work
in the picture is notable, especially as re-
CARDS the flesh jints. while the drapC ries
