Some Pertinent Questions That Can All
Be Answered With One Reply.


Be Answered With One Reply.
Why is ii that I'm Providence and its
suburbs with n combined population OF
10000, there is only one medical prep
aration which gives statements from
residents to back up its representa-
tions?
Why is IL that Doans Kidney Pills
do this in Providence as well as in ev-
cry other city and town of any i'm
portancc I'm the Union?
Why is 1. that there are advertised in
every newspaper a dozen remedies and
only one can supply local proof, local
endorsement of its claim?
The solution OF the problem is simple.
Only one remedy has the curing and
the staying power. other remedies
make all kinds of gigantic yet futile
efforts to get local proof, but the at
tempt ends in producing Il statement or
two from places that, as far as Provi-
dence is concerned, might as well be IN
the moon.
Here is Providence proof which backs
up the merits OF Doan's Kidney Pills.
Mr.. G. G. Stevens, IL West River
street says: Mine was backache in the
same old place; sometimes very aggra-
waited at other times dull and heavy.
When sat down it cost me an effort to
rise, | could nto stoop or life except by
exercising the greatest care. / tried to
cure myself and drank bottle after bot
tie of blood medicine. When the last
spell came on i by accident saw an ad-
vertisement about Doan's Kidney Pills,
and got a box al Lothrop's drug store.
l took them, and / can honestly say
they surpassed anything / ever tried for
quickness of action and removal OF
pain in the back. I will be pleased If
my testimony when published induces
other sufferers To try them.

Miss Olga NeiheIsoIs and Her Company Present
Damas Camille.

There gathered a large audienceint the
Providence Opera House last evening
TO witness the presentation of Ca
mile" by Miss Olga Nethersole and her
company and it was generous in its ex-
preston OF approval OF the work of
Miss Nethersole. That life, the ordi-
nary life, is tragic enough for most
people is the conclusion forced on one
who witnesses Miss Nethersoles pres
entation Of Dumas famous work. with
out having more OF it's trouble and
heart aches forced upon one. 1t is an
intense effort that Miss Nethersole is
always making; there is ever brought
10 notice i'm too earnest way the idea
of reform, and though there are flashes
in which the love that changed the he
roine from the lowest of paths to sub
lime heights, they are not continuous in
their illumination.
Miss Nethersole gives TO this charac-
ter a care and attention that her audi
ence is quick to appreciate. She lives
the scene of the moment just as she
imagines IL should be lived. In the more
earnest passages, or rather those in
which she explains the motives of her
acts she is very pathetic, but the lighter
parts are a bit lacking in vivacity, and
il is evident that the light gaiety of the
class that made Camille possible is
not the history behind or rather the
heritage of the class that Miss Neither
sole belongs TO. Another thing about
the presentation OF the piece is that the
company is not one. as whole, such
as Miss Nethersole should have in order
to give proper presentation. The
opening parts which should be bright
and sparkling are as presented by the
company after a heavy and monoto-
nous manner.
The remuneration scene gave Miss
Nethersole an opportunity TO display
those qualities that have given her q
dramatic artists. The earnestness and
the pathos of the scene were finely
brought out and though Mr.. Lablache
as the father OF Armand Duval was a
trifie forced i'm action his pleading for
the future OF his daughter was finely
done. Mr.. Thalberg was not an ideal
Armand. He had difficulties to over
come for which he was not to blame.
but his appeals were deeply pathetic.
The death scene, one of the great ones
necessarily, was admirably carried out
every part of IL was given with care
full attention TO details. and the deep
pathos of the whole story eliminating
therein was beautifully expressed. This
evening Miss Nethersole will present
"F'rou Frou."

Kinney grocery where Hubbard
is employed, shortly after | o'clock
aud began to question him about his
contest. The men were strangers to
Hubbard yet they were apparently
well acquainted with the facts con
corning the contest on his claim.
They left without making any refer
ence to the stolen papers. Shortly
afterwards they went to the Bon Ton
bakery and made some purchases. As
they were leaving the place one of the
men put his hand into his hip pocket
and the papers fell out. They we're

Mr.. Hubbard, when asked Friday
morning as 10 the motive for tie
theft OF the papers, 10 view of the
fact that they would cut little figure
in the contest, inasmuch as his leave
of absence was recorded at the land
office, replied that it was probably
part OF ruse to extOrt money from
him. The contestant on his claim
has been trying to make him believe
that his leave of absence was not re-
corded at the land office. Had the
two men who were in town Thursday
not lost the papers, they would in all
probability have called on Mr.. Hub.
bard later in the day and offered to
produce the papers for sufficient
