1t docs not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow checks, the sunkon eyes, tho dark,
puffy circles under the oyls, tho sallow
parsnip- -colOred complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had
rheumatism, dull pain or acho in tho
back or over tho hips, or burning or
scalding in passing it; If after passing
thero is an unsatisfied feeling, rs if it
must be at once repeated, or if tho urino
has brick dust deposit or strong odor.
Whom these symptoms arc present, no
time should be lost in removing tho cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, oatarrh Of

THE LATE FANNY DAVENPORT
History OF Her Career On the AIncri-
can Stage.

The announcement of the death at Dux-
bury Mass. of Fanny Davenport (Mrs.
Melbourne McDowelD, Monday. proved
both in the theatrical profession and in
the world generally. She had been i'll for
about two years with enlargement OF
the heart, and the end, therefore, was not
entirely unlocked for.
Fanny Davenport was the daughter OF
E. l. Davenport. a weIl-known actor. and
it was while he was playing an engage
ment in London that the future star first
saw the light on April TO- 1850. She came
of theatrical stock on both sides, her
mother having been the daughter of the
late William Vining. who was for many
years lessee and manager of the Prin-
cess Theater in London, and afterwards
managed the Haymarket Theater up to
the time of his death.
Miss Davenport was twice married
first to Edwin H. Price, an actor, July 30,
1879. She was divorced from him in 1885,
and within year married Melbourna
Mcdowell She left no family. Her death
removes an interesting and lovabIe per-
sonality from the stage, which she adorn-
ed for many years. While she cannot BE-
said to rank with the greatest actresses
of the century yet there are few, if any.
who possessed her versatility and adapt
ability to parts. the scope of which was
so varied as TO present almost every
phase of passion and feeling in human
nature. AS a child she manifested extra
limo on for he s.fa Z,
was the delight of her doting grandfather
to take her upon the stage of the Prin-
cess Theater and allow her to witness
the rehearsals of the various companies
which played there while he was lessee.
On one occasion the child was set upon a
table and gave recitals from Shakes
peare's plays, Sherfdans school for
Scandal" Bulwer's Lady of Lyons" " and
other masterpieces. with an aplomb and
a dramatic force which won the enthusi-
astic applause of her hearers, and gave
promise of the abilities which she after
wards developed.
She made her first appearance on any
stage at the Howard Atheneum in Boston
at a very early age. In that city, too,
she was educated. 1t was while she was
playing with Mrs. John Drews company
at the Arch Street Theater, Philadelphia,
that she attracted the attention of Au-
eustin DAILY. who offered her a position in
the stock company which he had organ
lied at the old Fifth Avenue Theater in
New York. Here for the next ten years
Miss Davenport reigned as queen, and
nightly attracted large audiences of en-
thusiastic admirers. Here she played in
d number of parts ranging from opera to
drama. Among the parts which she
played may be mentioned Lady Gay
Spanker in London Assurance" Rosa
lind in 'As You Like it" Nancy Sykes
in -"Oliver Twist" Lady Teazie in the
school for Scandal" and variety of
other characters.
About fifteen years ago Miss Davenport
severed her connection with Augustin
Daily and became her own manager. It
was while she was travelling with her
own company that she took up Victorien
Sardou's plays and achieved great sue

THE PEACE FESTIVAL.
Chairman Warner II Fastening Pre-
parntfons for the Event

Arrangements are well under way for
peace festival to be held in one of the
local theaters or in Convention Hall at 3
O'Clock next Sunday afternoon. B. Fl.
Warner. who was recently requested by
President Wight, of the Board of Dis
trict Commissioners. to act as chairman
of the proposed meeting. called upon the
Commissioners yesterday morning and
reported satisfactory progress in the pre-
liminary work of preparation
Mr. Warner is enthusiastic over the
idea of holding such a meeting, and is
hopeful that being held in the national
capital. it may surpass the hundreds of
festivals which will be held almost stimuli
taneously in other large cities through
out the country.
The original intention of the national
committee having these festivals in
charge was that they should be- held in
the different cities at the same hour next
Friday evening. The invitation which
was extended to the District Commission
ers came at such a late date. and they
were SO busy preparing their annual
budget of estimates, That it was found
impossible to arrange for d festival to be
held on Friday evening"
1t was suggested that -itg might be held
on Sunday afternoon and4 Commissioner
Wight yesterday approved the suggestion
which was made by MrssWarner. The
intention Is to hold the festival in Con-
vention Hail. if possib4eA
An elaborate program is being ar
ranged, consisting of addresses by promi-
nent men from this and adjoining cities
grand chorus, musif by the Marine
Band, and local talent entertainment
The President and his Cabinet, and of
ficers of the army and NAVY, will be in
vited to attend the meeting.
Percy Foster has been asked to be pres
ent with the chorus Of several hundred
voices, which rendered such beautiful
music on the occasion of the return of
the District Volunteers
DR.. II. M Wharton, of Baltimore who
is widely known as an orator, has ac-
cepted an invitation to address the meet
ing, and Father Stafford, pastor of st.
Patricks Catholic Church, in this city
has been invited to speak. A solo will be
sung by N. Dushane Claude. The pro-
gram has not been completed but Mr..
Warner hopes TO complete it today.
No admission will be charged TO the
meeting, but collection will be taken
for the purpose of raising a fund with
which to build national monument to
the soldiers and sailors who died or We're
Killed in the war with Spain.

Central America.
fFrem the LANCASTER Examiner.

It is unfortunate that all the Central American
States could not have been united in a stable
and permanent union, in which the autonomy of
each little nation would be preserved to the same
degree that the States OF Union exercise their
reserved rights. Such permanent union would
give to Central America position In the West
ern continent which the States have never pos
sessed acting independently, and would gradually
cement a group of nations of cognate blood into
one homogeneous nation. and lessen the danger
of the occurrence of those petty revolutions which
from time to time disturb tie peace of all Central
America and retard the progress and development
of each one of the little republics.

THINGS THEATRICAL.

Creston CIarSe's Interpretation of "Da-
yid Garrick" deserves all the appreciation
1t received last night at the Columbia
and great deal more. 1t is finished
and pleasing piece of work that displays
all the stars decided abilities as a COM
edian. while there are enough opportuni-
ties for serious acting to prevent the role
from being unsatisfactory In it's light
ness Some of the best of Mr.. Clarkes
labor was done in the first scene. during
the conversation with old Ingot, while
he proved still more successful at the
supper during the second act, which won
two curtain calls. Adelaide Prince was
equally happy in her rendering of the
part of Ada Ingot. the spirit and deiicaey
OF her impersonation being pronounced.
One of the particularly delightful things
In both her portrayal and that of Mr..
Clarke in this play Is the way in which
they seem to reproduce the thoughts of
the old-time actor. The comedy was
given as Garrick himself might have
wished 10 see IL given.

best last night. The part of the old mer-
chant, ingot, was played by j. j. Sam
