Pandora, so runs the myth, ,-let All the
Ills of life out of her box to prey upon
mankind, but shut the cover soon enough
to prevent the escape of hope, Hope
remains to every sufferer but it Is only
an ignis-fatuus unless it takes on some
tangible form. The hope of recovery is
treasured by every one who suffers from
weak or bleeding lungs, obstinate and
lingering cough, bronchitis or similar
ailments, which, if neglected, or unskil-
fully treated lead on to consumption.
That hope becomes practical and tan
gible thing when it is based ON the use
Of DIR. Picrce's Golden Medical Discov-
erv. Such hope is reasonable because
thousands of men and women emaciated

THINGS THEATRICAL.
CoIumbia-"Swee Lavender"


The constantly increasing popularity OF
the Frawley Company has probably re-
ceived no such testimonial as that ten
dered it by the great audience assembled
at the Columbia yester-evening to witness
the presentation of Pinero's three act
comedy, Sweet Lavender" Clement
Scott. in writing of the recent revival OF
the play in the English capital declares
it to be Pineros masterpiece Certainly his
more recent efforts have been less human
and more artificial even If more poetic.
Characters from Dickens and Thackeray
peek out of every line and situation. char
acters that live forever in the mind of the
student Of English.
But be Pinero's record what it may, the
presentation of Sweet Lavender dt the
Columbia was the masterpiece Of the Mon
day premiers. Free from the numerous
jars Of hastily prepared performances, the
three acts passed smoothly by, mirth and
pathos mingling into one perfect finale.
And seldom has the company worked to-
gether more evenly than it did last night.
For the first time in the present engage
ment Georgia Wells was seen in serious
part, that Of Lavender. The little lady
was sweet, innocent and naive, even as
she has previously been coquettish and
cute 10 many, her Lavender VIII re-
main her best work of the season. In Al
fred Hickman she has an acceptable oppo-
site, with plenty of reserve and intensity.
Harrington Reynolds is not seen to good
advantage and Mr.. Frawley again becomes
incoherent because of too rapid enuncia-
ton. Always pleasing. never tedious,
though at times exaggerated, is the great
hearted old topper Of Charles King, lovely
character despite his faults, while Geof-
frey Stein and Frank Matthew are COM
mendable for capitally done bits. The
small female roles are well filled by Sc
lene Johnson, Mrs. Bates and Ada Levick.
the latter being seen to advantage for the
first time. Sweet Lavender calls for but
one scene. and il is capitaily mounted.
The large audience last evening appreciat-
ed the merits of both play and company
and applauded heartily, demanding curtain
calls after each get.

PIcKPoCKETs PHOTOGRAPHED.
Securing Evidence Against John
Hill and Frank Williams.

Hill ana FRANK W NIlIlumH.
John Hill and Frank Williams, the two
men arrested Sunday by Detectives Helan,
Boyd, Horne and Watson, at the Rock
Creek transfer station Of the Capital Trac-
tion Company, charged with being pick
pockets, were taken to Detective Head
quarters yesterday morning for an exami-
nation. The guilt OF the men in the in
stance which caused their arrest is an es-
tablished fact and the police hope to fix
on the men several Of the pocket pick
ing offences committed at the transfer sta
tion during the past week. 1t is under
stood that two persons who reported losses
from their pockets while at the station
Sunday one week ago have identified the
men under arrest as those whom they saw
in the crowd about the time Of the COM
mission of the thefts.
Both Hill and Williams were measured
and photographed yesterday morning for
the rogue's gallery. They will be held un-
til the detectives feel assured beyond a
doubt that they have sufficient evidence to
insure conviction when the men will be
taken into court for hearing.

In many respects the best entertainment
of the season is that of the Broadway
Burlesquers." at Kernan's Lyceum, this
week. The tedious portion is that of the
afterpiece, several performers working
overtime in a futile effort to secure atten-
ton. The olio is one OF exceptional merit,
the Mitchell Sisters proving clean, clever
soubrettes, Smith and Cook rather amusing
eccentrics. and LeClair and Leslie like the
little girl with the curl-good when good,

But Might Have Had a
Life Sentence.
All OF Was ~ II the Trusted Servant
of Dr.. Murray-Other Court
Matters.

All Oh was yesterday sentenced by
Judge Stanley TO Imprisonment at
hard labor for burglarizing the prem
ises of Dr. Murray, having been found
guilty by a jury the day before. All
Oh was not the Chinese servant of Dr.
Murray nor was he trusted employee
OF the doctors. On the contrary the
genial doctor never saw him until after
his arrest and the testimony a. the
trial showed that the man had never
before the burglary. All OF was a
trusted friend of one of the doctors
servants, that was all, and being such
gained the information which led him
10 commit the burglary. Again, the
sentence received by All Oh, instead of
being an extraordinary one and the ex-
treme limit of the law, was a very
light one, the extreme limit OF the law
in such cases being Imprisonment at
hard labor for life. And again, there
were not two jurymen who wanted a
modification of the punishment be-
cause at the time of the rendition of
the verdict none of the jurymen could
possibly know what the sentence OF
Judge Stanley would be. Two jury
men dissented from the verdict, it is
true, but their reasons for so doing
have never been made public.
In the case of the Republic of Hawaii
VS.. Foo Shong HUI, unlawful possession
of opium, a verdict of not guilty was
returned by the jury after an absence
of about five minutes, two dissenting.
In Judge Stanley's court yesterday
the jury in the case OF the Republic of
Hawaii vs.. Syivano Nobrega accused
Of diluting milk, brought in verdict of
guilty as charged, one dissenting.
In the assumpsit case of Ng Chung
Tug VS.. Jick Kee the parties have
signed a stipulation that the cause may
be heard in vacation as of term upon
three days notice by either party.
