"0THEIL.o" AND "LoUIS Nj"
Keene Changes His Bill Both After
noon and Evening.


Two gooa-sized audiences greeted
Thomas w Keene yesterday at the La
fayette Square Opera House, both his
afternoon and evening performances
being. all things considered. remark
ably well attended. The bill presented
at night was "Othello," one in which
Mr.. Keene invariably appears to the
worst possible advantage, and yet in
sists on endeavoring to portray. From
the manner in which the powerful title
role was presented yesterday, it would
seem that the tragedian acted without
thought OF the meanings intended to be
suggested. and without an idea further
than that of making all the noise pos
sible. In Mr.. Keene's hands Othello
became raving maniac. without any
of the consistent reserve that the Moor
retained at all times and without linn
station further than the strength of the
actors lungs.
Any melo-dramatic villain could have
presented the role as Mr.. Keene did.
Strongly in contrast with his work was
that OF Charles b. 5ianford, as Iago.
This clever player characterized the
snake-lil<e treachery OF the willy leuten-
ant with all the subtle understanding of
which he is capable. His was mastery
redering of a masters conception. Lucia
Moore was a sweet Desmonda: charity
forbids further criticism OF her acting.
Mary Timbermann invested the part OF
Emelia with all the artificial tricks Of
voice and manner which have marked
her two other portrayals of the week.

In the evening twilight of winter time,
when the FIRE sparkles and glows and
dances upon the hearth, there are dreams
and air castles of the future IN the flames
for the young woman who sits and gszes
into them. Whether these air castles will
ever become realities, is largely matter
of health.
No woman can hope to be contented
wife, the mistress of happy home and the
mother of healthy children who suffers
from weakness and disease of the delicate
organs that are distinctly feminine. All
the air castles that she builds will crumble
into dust, unless she takes measures to cor
rect the disorders from which she suffers.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is posi-
tive cure for all disorders Of these most
sensitive organs. 1t makes them strong,
healthy and vigorous. 1t prepares woman
for happy wifehood and healthy mother
hood. 1t robs maternity of its peril and
of nearly all pain. 1t insures children with
strong, healthy constitutions. Thousands
of women have testified to its marvellous
merits. For nursing mothers it is the best
supportive tonic.
