ADJUSTMENTS
MAY IRWIN TONIGHT.

Miss May Irwin will present for the
first time here tonight her new COM
edy, written by Glen Marlborough and
entitled Kate Kip-Buyer.' The time
of the play is the present, and its ac-
ton occurs in one Of the cities of the
middle West. This city is one Of the
states two capitals; the Legislature
having for many years met alter
nately at each. They are named New
Athens and New Rome, and Kate Kip's
fiancee, a young lawyer named Tom
Brown, is located in New Rome.
Brown receives a private tip that Sen
ator Wilhelm Coogan, the political
boss of the state, intends to kill the
dual capital idea, and rush a bill
through the Legislature, making New
Rome the one and permanent capital.
This will mean a new million dollar
state house, vast improvements, and a
general boom for New Rome. The bill
passes the house, and Brown invests
the savings of years in New Rome real
estate. At the last moment New
Rome's rival, New Athens, makes il
worth while for Senator Coogan to kill
the New Rome bill in the Senate. After
a lapse of a week or so it is discovered
that Senator Coogan intends to put a
second bill through the Legislature, de-
stroying the hopes Of New Rome, and
making New Athens a permanent capt.
tai. This will make Browns invest
ment almost worthless, and it is upon
this state of affairs that Kate Kip en-
ters in Act 1. Learning Of Browns di-
lemma from his own lips, she deter
mines to save his investment by out
whiting Coogan and removing the OBJ
stacles in the way of the passing Of the
New Rome bill by the Senate thai
night By a eeries Of odd and unex-
pected devices she accomplishes this
The action of the entire play occurs in
three hours.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
rsach The diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you
have n rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when Il is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken,out and this tube re-
stored TO it's normal condition, hearing
will be DESTROYED forever; nine cases out
OF ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is
nothing but an infiamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
