Meanwhile the Spaniards are numbering

Henry E. Dixey. who comes to the
Lafayette Square Opera House next
week with his spectacular production of
magic mirth, mystery and mimicry, is
mentioned as the same versatile and
graceful comedian who captured the
fancy of this country in his popular bur
lesque "Adonis.' Although magic and
illusions form the backbone of his per-
formance, criticisms from the papers in
the larger cities where he has already
appeared state that there Is as much
cause for laughter as there is for wonder
in his entertainment. Dixey is always a
mirth creator and in his present perform

Mr. and Mrs. Russ Whytal will be the
attraction at the Columbia during next
week. when they will be seen in their
successful play. For Fair Virginia"
This piece is now in its fourth season.
and is justly entitled to take rank with
the best of modern American plays. Mr.
Whytal is the author. andsis. therefore
doubly interesting figure in the company.
For Fair Virginia" was first presented
in this city two seasons ago, and won
general and critical favor. 1t is not q
melodrama, most of the plays of it's
class have been. but a domestic drama
with a war background Mr.. Whytal
has sought to show womans life in the
South during those eventful times. He
has drawn two delightful love stories.
which are alternately developed and re.
tarded by the events of the strife. For
Fair Virginia is one of the few plays
dealing with those stirring days that has
proved equally acceptable TO both North
ern and Southern audiences. Mr. Whytal
has. however, touched his characters so
sympathetically that their innate truth.
courage and nobility are said to appeal
irresistibly 10 all hearts and overcome all
prejudices.
The author appears as a dashing young
officer, a mixture of laughable and heroic
qualities. His wife assumes the role of
Virginia, noble type of the devoted and
Self-Sacriticing Southern woman. She is
offset by a companion picture of a bright.
self-reliant Yankee" girl admirably
acted by Miss Viola Fortescue. One of
the particularly attractive features OF the
entertainment is the Importance and
beauty of child's part, said to be de-
hghtfully PLAYED by little Mabel Talia-
ferro. She helps to make he perform
ance especially attractive to ladies and
children. The Thursday matinee will be
given at bargain" prices-fifty cents to
any part of the house, all seats being

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, is form
OF indigestion resulting from fermen-
tation of the food. The stomach
being too weak to promptly digest 1t,
the food remains until fermentation
begins, flling the stomach with gas
and bitter, sour, burning taste in
the mouth is often present. This
condition soon becomes chronic and
being an every day occurrence is given
but little attention. Because dys-
pepsla is not Immediately fatal, many
people do nothing for the trouble.
Within a recent period remedy
has been discovered prepared solely to
cure dyspepsia and stomach troubles.
II is known as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, and is now becoming rapidly
used and prescrlbed.as radical cure
for every form OF dyspepsia.

WHY WAS SILVER DROPPED ?

Under the heading, "The silver
question 10 Washington" the Or
egonian again endeavors TO explain,
for the benefit OF Washington voters,
why the silver dollar was dropped
from the coinage act OF 1873. IL
quotes DIR. Llndermah, formerly dl-
rector OF the mint, who said, at the
time: "The gold dollar is 10 fact
the legal unit and measure OF value.
HaYing higher value as bullion
than Its nominal value, the silver
dollar long ago ceased TO be coin
Of circulation, and being OF no prac-
tlcal use whatever, Its Issue should
be discontinued" That Is the reason
II was dropped. That is all there
was TO 10, according To the profound
gold standard &c onomlsts.
The whole radical and far-reaching
