NAT GOODWIN IN VIEW PLAYS.
Clyde Fitch's "Nnthan Hale" an Event
of Especial Interest.


of Especial Interest.
| Nat Goodwin and his beautiful and
gifted wife, Maxine Eliot, appeared at
the Hyperion theater on Saturday after
noon and evening in two plays by the
American dramatist, Clyde Fitch. The
afternoon performance was given over to
a first production of a new comedy,
THE Cowboy and the Lady" which
has been written for Mr. Goodwin's
London season. 1t is sufficiently obvious
that Nathan Hale might trouble the
Briton's patriotic susceptibilities. Mr..
Goodwin and his company sail for
Europe on Wednesday and begin sea-
son at the Duke of York's theater. THE
Cowboy and the Lady proved to be
clever in dialogue and in the effective
employment of much ancient and time
honored theatric device. The first act
was the best, The second fell off con-
siderably, but the surprising turn Of
events at the very close of the play was
so good that it atoned for much that
preceded. The piece is still crude and
it is unfair to judge of the thing in its
present state. 1t will be interesting to
see what the English critics think of It,
The audience in the evening was one
of the largest of the season and was
especially cultured and distinguished
Nathan Hale has been perhaps the
most talked of American play of recent
years. 1t has given Clyde F'itch's some
what tenuous reputation tremendous
boom. Financially ii has been great
success and the subject is one calcu-
lated to cause the patriotic American
heart to palpitate. 1t is Nat Goodwin's
most successful attempt at serious roles
although after his beautiful perform
ance in Missouri" it is not surprising
to any one. His most brill
liant work will probably always be in
comedy, but he possesses an infinite
amount of tact and sufficient degree
of magnetism to make him successful
in any lire of stage work His Nathan
Hale" is a serious and dignified effort
and the play calculated to inspire
great hope for the American drama. Mr.
Goodwin's generous offer to give the
play here next fall for the benefit of the
Nathan Hale Statue Fund insures
very cordial reception for the piece on
its return

Regardless OF Age.

The kidneys are responsible for NOR e
sickness, suffering, and deaths than any
other organs of the body.
A majority Of tire ills affecting people
today is traceable to kidney trouble.
1t pervades all classes of society, in all
climates, regardless of age, sex or condi-
ton.
The symptoms of kidney trouble are
unmistakable, such as rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, sleeplessness, pain or dull ache
in the sack, desire to urinate often
day or nj ht, profuse or scanty supply.
Uric acid, or k-dust deposit in urine
are signs of clogged kidneys, causing
poisoned and germ filled blood Some
times the heart acts badly, and tube casts
(wasting of the kidneys) are found in the
urine, which if neglected will result in
Bright's Disease, the most dangerous
form Of kidney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions are
promptly removed under the influence
of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root. 1t has a
worldwide reputation for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.

DEATH has frequently crossed the
threshold Of the lower house OF con-
gress the past few years, but it is
doubtful if it has ever done so at
a more inopportune time. Nelson
Dingley, editor, father of the Dingley

side of the chamber, and statesman,
Is dead. We mean a statesman IL
the full sense of the term, not as APP,
piled to many men who are elected to
represent us in the halls Of our ma
tiOnal legislature, who from the ros-
trum tickle the ears of an admiring
constituency with honeyed words and
hOwery speeches, but as a statesman
who could not be lured away by the
fascination of unearned wealth.
Nelson Dingley devoted his time
to the best interests of the whole
people, and every fibre of his manly
nature was unseltiShly entwined in
every movement tending to enhance
the greatness, power and glory of his
beloved country. His loss to Maine
is well nilh irreparable, no less his
loss to the entire country.

HIS Excellency, Governor Scoheld,
recommends change in the caucus
law. He would have the caucuses OF
all parties held upon the same date,
do away with the preliminary feat
ure, and make the test Of the voter S
eligibility depend upon his expressed
intentions, and not upon his past
party affiliations. This recommen-
dation is a decided Improvement on
the law as it now exists. To compel
q voter to wait two or four years
before he can legally participate in
the caucus Of party with which he
wants to identify himself does not
impress the average voter as a sensl-
ble provision.

THE governors suggestion that the
present caucus law be extended to
every voting precinct in the state
will hardly meet with the approval
of those who had to attend to the
details of the caucuses the past year.
Country precincts would find it very

it would not be legally complied with.

Is THERE no way Of putting stop
to the large increase in our public
expenditures? The special appro-
priations asked for the present BIZ
enniaI period show to what an extent
some OF our reformatory and educa-

people. The board of control ask
for an appropriation of 100000,
half OF which sum is for a new re-
formatory; 100000 for completing
the new historical building; $50, 900
for the agricultural department OF
the state university; 100000 foY

La Grippe is a contagious dis
ease. It's specific germ has been
positively identified, and it is
transmitted from person to per-
son either by direct contact or
by inhaling the germs while
they float in the air. It is a
dangerous disease, lowering the
vitality and wasting the resistive
power SO that pneumonia, heart
disease, nervous prostratiOn and
insanity find easy victims. No
specific is known that will kill
the Grip germ, but it may be
driven out and it's effects over
come by the prompt use Of DR..
Miles Restorative Nervine.
LA Grippe left my nervous
system so racked and shattered
that [ could not sleep and for
two months was under the in
f1uence of narcotics. Physicians
and friends gave me up to die;

AN ODD TOWN IN MEXICO.
Place Where the Fashions Are the
Same as Centuries Ago.

Same as Centuries Ago.
Mexico is becoming Americanized
and mOdernized in a deplorable de-
gree, but in the interior there are still
towns and villages not touched by the
hand of improvement"
Tehuantepec is one of the oldest of
Mexican cities, and it is so far away
from the beaten track of the tourist
and trader that the olden customs and
costumes remain nearly as they were
two or three centuries ago.
The two women wear a bodice or
"camisa" of white linen, with insertion
around the neck and sleeves of the
beautiful Mexican drawn work, which
is bOrdered by embroidery of red and
green. The skirt is generally bright
green, closely plated and with a deep
border of brilliantly colOred cloth or
white drawn work. A broad red sash,
''rebosa," is knOtted around the waist
and falls nearly to the edge of the
skirt. The costume is completed by
bright green slippers. Stockings are
unknown.
The headdress is remarkable. 1t is
called ''huipil." and is made of broad,
stiffly starched lace f1ounce, very full,
on a narrow yoke. The flounce ex-
tends around the neck, as well as the
lower edge of the yoke, and is drawn
over the head and around the shoul-
ders, framing the face in quantity de-
mure fashion.
The women are fond of jewelry, and
especially of long necklaces made of
gold coins. They have control of the
greater part of the business. They
thrOng the markets every day, some
with native chocolate, some with flow
ers and vegetables and some with orna-
ments and native cloths. They excel
in the Mexican drawn work, and deal
ers come from all the large cities to
buy of them.
Many of the women are handsome in
a vivid, tropical way. They are tall and
straight, with superb physical develop
ment, flashing brown eyes, olive skin
and red lips.-Brooklyn Eagle.
