nothing remarkable in that statement
perhaps, for nearly every one does this
sooner or later, but the unique phase OF
thu announcement is that Miss Demp-
sey is to stage her own work. 1t is
called Neutral Ground" and deals
with a strip of land somewhere north CT
New York city, which. for some rea
son of other, she has felt warranted in
so designating. 1t is possible that the
success OF Nathan Hale" has inffu-
enced Miss Dempsey somewhat in the
selection of her theme, inasmuch as one
of the principal characters in this last
mentioned play is a spy who is sent in
to the British camp. For some reason
not explained in the advance announce
ments George Washington feels that it
would be better for him to get person
ally the information which he desires
from the redcoats. He accordingly
takes the spy's valise and proceeds to
do his work. He meets a girl who is in
love with the spy whom he is imper-
sonating and after certain adventures
gets back to his own lines, while the
girl is turned over to the spy himself.
1t may be said by carpers that this
does not read as though it concealed a
particularly thrilling story, but Miss
Dempsey's friends asert that only the
bare3t suggestion of the innumerable
thrills contained in tbs play has been
allowed to leak out.
The piece, it is reported, will be pro-
duced in Stamford, Conn, early IN
April, after which it will make a short
tour CT New England, to be followed by
an engagement III this city at a Broad
way theatre if success should crown
this maiden effort of the shrinking and
notwithstanding Queen of the Hol-
land Danes.

lege M eagerly avail themselves
of when they once understand that
there is really no charge, and that
every letter is read in private, answered
in private, and the answer mailed in a
perfectly plain envelope without any
advertising upon it.
Many women let these diseases fas-
ten on them because their modesty
shrinks from the questionings, indeli-
cate examinations and local treat
ments their friends have had to SUBJ
NIT to. These offensive features are
entirely done away with in DR.. Pierce's
method Of treatment. Write a plain
letter. You are not writing to a wo-
man for sympathy, but to a man for
help. And it's in the very law OF our

A HELPFUL SYMPATHY
for women, such as is rarely extended
by n woman to another. It's singu-
lar but it is true that women in general
make light of the sufferings of other
members of their own sex, and are apt
to be critical and cynical over their
pains. And perhaps for that reason
women prefer to confide in a physician
who like DIR. Peirce can give the prac-
teal sympathy of help. In a practice
of over thirty years as chief consulting
physician for the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y, DR..
Pierce has treated more than half a
million women, and cured perfectly and
permanently ninety-eight out of every
hundred. This vast experience which
covered every form and variation OF
feminine disease, puts DR.. Pierce at The
head of specialists in the treatment of
diseases of women.
Don't you want to get back that ath-
letic girlhood again? Write to Doc
tor Pierce and take the first step to

for this consultation by letter, and that
every letter is held as strictly private
and sacredly confidential. This offer

The Secret Of Strength and
Beauty.

The athletic woman is everywhere
in evidence. You can see her on the
wheel, swinging a golf club, rowing,
riding, running, her every movement
so graceful that you instinctiyely pause
to look at her. The day of t~ight-Iaced,
waSp-walSted women is over and gone
The age has given US q new woman
who thinks more of her lungs than she
does of her waist, and who is proud
of her muscle. But have you noticed
that these girl goddesses are almost
without exception unmarried?As soon
the swinging stride, the easy carriage,
the steady hand, the quick eye. Her
back hurts, and she can't row or swing
a golf club. She is nervous and the
old sports and recreations are impos-
sible to her. The reason for this con
dition is obvious. Few women are
prepared for marriage either intellec-
tually or physically. They have no in
telligent understanding Of their own
physiology, and no appreciation Of the
radical, physical changes which mar
rlage i~naugurates. The result is that
facilitating drains are set up and al
lowed to continue unchecked. The del
icate female organs become liberated
and intamed, and probably there is
female weakness. or displacement of
internal organs, with bearing-down
pains. The consequence is nervous
ness, physical languor, weak back,
headache, and a score of other ills.
Even then it probably doesn't dawn on
the afflicted woman's mind that the
pain in her head, in her back or at her
heart is in any way connected with the
diseased conditions of the delicate wo-
manly organs. Yet that is the exact
condition of affairs. Thousands of wo-
men have proven this, who have used
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription to
cure facilitating catarrhal drains, and
an liberated and inilamed condition of
the internal organs, and have found
to their glad surprise that when the
local health of the womanly organs
was established, strength came back
to the whole body.

diseased condition lies in those dell
cate womanly organs, and through
them the whole body becomes sympa-
thetically affected. But, n practical
example is worth a volume Oh theory.

Strange In New YORK Wednesday, mtl-
inee and night, Jack and the Bean
Stalk"
It was not the observance of Lent by
Wheeling people which was respons-
ible for the failure of the engagements
Of the Banda Rosa and the Charles
Mortimer Company last week. The
term failure" is used only in a finan-
cial sense in the first instance, but all
its definitions may be applied to the
latter. The band was a meTitorious Or
ganization, with a reputation which
must have been familiar to Musical
Wheeling" yet with matinee and night
performances crowded into one
through an unavoidable accident, there
was not more than a handful of people
in the audience. Something must be
radically wrong with the culture OF
Musical Wheeling" or perhaps a bet
ter explanation would be that it has
not reached the dollar a seat degree.
In the case of the Mortimer Company,
the least said the better. The engage
ment was disappointing to the manage
ment of the theatre, and to its patronc.
as we'll. Perhaps it will be said that
it was good enough for the price, and
the argument may be incapable of re-
futation, but there have been better
infinitely better-for the price, and the
dear public has a peculiar habit of de-
handing something which at least APP
proaches a fixed standard.
When the season closes and Mr..

hann) Evans has fiddled his last tune in
the orchestra pit, he will leave for Port

contract at a nice fat figure to make
melody inside and outside of a summer
hotel beside the lakeside. The hotel
management made no mistake in clos
ing the deal with Mr.. Evans. He Is a
veritable managerial genius, and can
be the whole orchestra in case of a
strike among the musicians. The vol
ume and melody of the sound evoked
from the instruments in the orchestra
over which he presides with Teutonic
grace, is the marvel of the theatrical
profession.
