Marriage" a former Mansfield produc-
ton. OF Mr.. DOwning'S work this year
the Milwaukee Sentinel Of recent date
had the following to say:
Robert Downing's first appearance in
this city at popular prices was an event
that filled the Bijou at both perform
ances yesterday when the well known
actor appeared in The Gladiator a
play in which ne has won such great
titled with his name. Yesterday proved
no exception and his dilineation of Nero,
the Roman slave of giant strength and
desperate purpose, filled with a desire
for vengeance yet with a tender sym
pathy to others who suffer, was followed
being treated with tremendous ap-
plause. The play Is one peculiarly
suited to Mr.. Downing's abilities, as it
gives him an opportunity for some fine
heroic acting, while his massive frame
is set off to the best advantage in the
acteriZatiOn OF Nero is an admirable
study, with it's blended tenderness and
strength and in the scenes with Faus-
tine where he defies the naughty empress
and with Neadomania, where he is all
gentIeness he scores a triumph in virile
acting. Mr.. Downing doesn't rant or
rave, but carries out his conception of
the part with a sturdy force, never
OVerdO ding, but coming out strong where
strength of acting is demanded"

Ginseng In China.

There Inns always been;n prejudice

Chinese and japanese, with whom alone
it is considered n celebrated medicine,
the wild specimens bring the higher

came almost beyond supply other roots
began 10 be substituted, notably pnnax
quinquefolium, or Linn, which was
known ms the American root. The dyn-
asty favoredt the 'seng obtained In Man
churin, and by them was considered Of
unequaled excellence. But IL became go
rare that an imperial edict was issued
against the gathering of It. Giosepg
