How to Save Doctor Bills.

We have saved many doctor bills
since we began using Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy in our home. We
keep bottle open all the time and
whenever any of my family or myself
begin to catch cold we begin to use
the Cough Remedy, and as a result
we never have to send away for a
doctor and incur large doctor bill,
for Chamberlain Cough Remedy new
err fails to cure. 1t is certainly a
medicine of great merit and worth

The Charity Ball.

The fine drama, 1.-THE Charity Ball, "
was rendered in the town hall as ad-
vertised last week. Too much praise
cannot be given to Mrs. Robert Glib
son for her skillful management Of this
play and her admirable delineation of
the character of Ann Cruger. DR.. N.
McKendree Wilson has added fresh
bay to his wreath by his work as rec
tor of the Church of st. Mildred's in
New York. Mr.. Gilmore Neill won
great applause by his earnest and en-
ergetic portrayal of the character Of
Dick Van Buren,, and by his beauti-
fully clear enunciation. Mr.. Walter
Duke as Judge Peter Quincy Knox
lover-a persistent lover-a dis
tresssd lover--a happy lover and a low
er of corking good joke, could not
have been improved upon. Miss Julia
Rentch as Mrs. Van Buren,, the blind
mother, gave faithful portrayal of
dignifed, noble and loving character.
Miss Cummings as the charming wild
ow, Mrs. DePeyster, succeeded in fasci-
mating the audience, if not her lover,
after the discovery of a cork leg, and
elected much merriment. Miss Sallie
Miller, who as Phillys Lee sustained,
perhaps, the most difficult role of the
play, rendered her part with much
pathos. Sweet, girlish Bess Van Bu-
rem, "too old for dolls and ready for
bsaux, was charmingly given by Miss
Alice Smootz, who captiyated the au-
dience by her sprightliness and grace.
Miss Eleanor Butler as Cain, waif,
ragged and hungry, took her part with
remarkable ease and complacsncy,
The part Of Miss Lucy Lyme as Sophie,
the maid, was well filed. Mr.. Robert
Duke in this his first appearance on
an amateur stage, won honor to him
self as Alex Robinson, an aspirant for
position in Wall street, as the youth
full lover and a player of practical
joke. The part OF Mr.. Cruger,
Wall street magnate, was wen taken
by Mr.. Brown Sperow, while that Of
Mr.. Creighton and Mr.. Paxton equal
ly well filled by DR.. Hopkins Gibson
and Mr.. B. Snyder. Mr.. Belts, old
and grey after fifty years service as
organist, was satisfactorily taken by
Mr.. Geo. Un.eld. The stage decora-
tons were extremely effective and the
costumes as handsome as usually seen
On any stage, that Of Mrs. Gibson be-
ing particularly gorgeous in the Char
ity Ball scene. The music between
the acts was rendered by Mrs. Davis
Billmyer, pianist, Mr. S. P. Humrck
house, cornetist, Mr., VIII Humrick
house, violinist, and was much enjoyed
and appreciated by the audience.
The receipts were not what they
might have been had the weather been
fine. The result was $6650.

WELCOME TO BECKHAM! !

When a real thoroughbred comes
prancing into the ring all typical Ken
tuckians receive him with prolonged
and enthusiastic cheers. 1t was this
sort OF homage that in days lang syne
they were wont to render to Grey Eagle,
to Lexington, to Longfellow and to
other Kings of the turf,
So today, in memory OF Mr.. BECK
HAMS staunch Virginian ancestry, we
take off our hats to that gentlemanly
degenerate, Mr.. BECKHAM himself,
who, though far too careless and con-
fiding, is neither personally nor po-
litically "unclean,"
Whatever may be said of the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, the per-
formances OF his high-mettled sires
upon the political arena fully estab-
lished the quality OF their pure old
Protestant blood. No political thor
oughbred OF that day ever posed or
pranced at the crack Of ringmaster's
whip or capered nimbly upon blue
grass turf to the seductions OF Goe-
belitish loot. Whatever their progeny
or their performances, their principles
at least were all right; and in recogni-
ton OF what they were as honorable
and independent citizens of a free
Commonwealth, the good people of Ma
son county have naught but hearty
Highland welcome for the amiable and
ambitious young gentleman who has
publicly abjured that faith in ancestral
principles which beats with every true
Kentuckian's blood. We trust he will
have a patient and thoughtful hearing
while he explains to a Mason county
audience what he has attempted to do
for that ancient Commonwealth which
he assumes to represent. Certain 1t
is that, thus far at least, Mason county
has done more for Mr.. BECKHAM than
Mr.. BECKHAM has done for her. What
he has to say in self-defense must be
said plainly and at once. He is now
on the ome-stretch, and one of the
swiitest and strongest thoroughbreds
that ever graced the Kentucky turf is
pressing him hard and fast. Good
bye, Mr.. BECKHAM.

Bishop, scion of a good family, who
shot and killed an unknown tramp at
