LoTHRoP,s TORNADO.
1t Blows Big Money Into the Box Office
and Excites the Enthusiasm of
the SPECTATORS

A long line Of ticket buyers wound itself
round the lobby Of Lothrop's Opera House
Monday night and waited patiently until
the components thereof had all secured
the privilege of passing upstairs to wit
ness Lincoln j. Carriers drama, 'The
Tornado, which is playing there this
week. From the applause and the sounds
or approval that came from the audience
during the progress of the play 1t is evil
dent no one regretted his Investment
Viewed In the light of a literary pro-
duction THE Tornado" is neither better
nor worse than the average melodrama.
The heroic heroism of the hero in con-
trast with the villainous villainy of the
villain forms the interest, and each is of
the most highly spiced and vigorous quail
ty. Frank Holland In the first place and
T. J. Cummerford In the second play the
parts realistically, and accept the cheers
and Kisses which fall to their respective
lots with equanimity. George Pritehard is
a good comedian, and the author has Civ
en- him ample opportunity for his talent.
FANNIE Huntley makes a pretty and SYM
pathetic heroine and Marie Molyneaux
caught the crowd hard as Bridget O'Raf-
ferty. The rest of the cast is adequate
to its work.
But the company and the play is sec
ondary to the scenic effects, which all
appeared on scheduled time and were pre-
scented as smoothly on Lothrop's stage as
If 1t had been the Boston Theatre. The
tornado was every bit as realistic as it
trees and demolished houses, with the
roaring of the tempest made a thrilling
picture which will not soon be forgotten.
The storm at sea with the destruction Of
the steamer and the rescue of the casta-
ways was splendidly worked and the ef-
feet was wonderful. And so with the less
sensational but equally good settings later
in the play.
1.-THE Tornado" will be continued all the
week.. and will be succeeded by "Cuba's
Vow" a patriotic drama, that has been
most successful elsewhere.

After sixteen hours work each day, I
sleep eight hours each night like baby,
and attribute much of the strengthening
of my nerves to Paine's celery compound.
Yours truly,
SILAS D. DRAKE.
Nothing demoralizes the health sooner or
more completely than even the occasional
loss Of sleep To start a new day with the
brain unrefreshed is like trying to keep
worn-out horse up to his work with the
whip instead of by feeding. The inees-
SAINT brain activity is as If the skull were
laid bare and the surface of the brain
were struck lightly every few seconds and
without a sign of "let-up"
Thus sleeplessness imperceptibly, but no
less surely, destroys the brain cells that
are the sources of mental power and the
health of every organ of the body.
Paine's celery compound gets the nerv-
GUS system out of this dangerous rut of
sleepleSsness. 1t supplies nourishment to
the nervous tissues faster than they are
worn out and does not let the nutrition of
these delicate parts get low enough to
bring on insomnia.
One of the earliest evidences Of the final
success of Paine's celery compound in cur
ing debility, nervousness, sleeplessness
and arrangements Of liver and kidneys is
the increased appetite, the clearer skin,
and that indescribable precursor of health,
a feeling of "welI being that takes the
place of the tired, aanguid, melancholy
condition

BUSINESS DISAGREEMENT.
One Partner Steps Out Leaving Behind
Him Several Worthless Checks.


Him Several Worthless Checks.
f. s. Hunter, who was formerly en-
gagged in the nickel plating business at
10 Barton place, disappeared from his
place of business Monday, Jan 10. and
since that time neither his partner nor
tn employees have seen him. The
business has changed hands several
times within the past few months. The
plant was operated originally by George
Burdick, who runs a shooting gallery on
mechanic street. Nov, q, Hunter went
into company with Raymond, a former
employee of the place, for the purpose
of carrying on the business. They were
unable to agree, however, and on Dec.
10, Hunter found new partner in II.
D. Cornell. The business went along
under the new management, until Mon
day, Jan. 10, when Mr. Cornell demand
ed an explanation of several matters in
connection with the business. Hunter
promised to straighten the affairs of the
company, and agreed to meet Cornell
that night, for the purpose. Since that
time nothing has been seen or heard
from him at the shop.
The story, as told by Cornell is that
WtlGll JllS partnership was formed an
agreement was entered into by which
Hunter was to conduct the practical end
of the business, while Cornen attended
to the soliciting and other outside work.
During the time they have been in part
nership, Cornell claims he has received
but $3.50 as his shore of the proceeds
Saturday night, Jan. 8, the help were
paid by Hunter in checks, which, when
presented at the bank were found
worthless, as there was not sufficient
funds on deposit. Hunter also gave
checks which proved worthless for rent
and in payment of board bill, amount
ing in all to almost $3.50, as near as Cor
nell can estimate.
Inquiry at the Metropolitan restau-
rant, Z Myrtle street, where Hunter
boarded, developed the fact that Hun
ter had not been there since a week age
Monday. Word was received at the res
tauprant, Monday, from Hunter, that
he was in New Hampshire and had
started another plating esta blshment
He also assured the restaurant keeper
that he would be paid in full and that
all other legal bills of his contracting
would be met
One of the solicitors who worked fol-
the firm was bearer of the news. He also
said that Hunter was in the city all last
week. He had evidently not lost faith
in Hunter, for he signihad that he
should resume his work at the New
/ Hampshire plant
