AN INTERESTING LETTER

Everybody enjoys a good letter;
and when it is entertaining and in
structive and breezy" it puts the
eeipient in an agreeable frame of
mind. Scores of letters similar to
the subJoined are received by War
uer's Safe Cure Co., of Rochester, n
Y, and they respectfully request you
70 read this. Our word for it, you
will not regret it.
In 1881 / was told by two of the
best physicians in Boston, DR.. W
and DR.. B, that l could not ex-
pect to live a year; that l had Bri gifts
Disease. At that time 1 heard of a
man who was supposed to have been
at deaths doorand was stopping. dy-
ing, at the Commonwealth Hotel
(now the Langham) at the south end
of Boston. His wife in reading to
him, came across a Warner adver-
tisement and got bottle of the Safe
Cure. Her husband commenced to
take the medicine, saying nothing to
his doctor until after two or three
weeks. His water commenced to
show signs of improvement and the
man was able to get up and walk
about. When he found he was get
ting better he told the doctor
what he had done and dismissed him,
continuing the medicine, and in three
months this dying man went about
his usual duties, those of an express
man, and was finally Cured. On the
strength of this cure l got a bottle
and dropped all other medicines.
NV doctors sent me to Kansas as good
place to go, out of their jurisdiction,
and to die. They gave my wife med
icine to carry, enough to last me un-
til l should die, and which l left at
home. carried one dozen bottles of
Warner Safe Cure, and went to a
small place near junction City, where
had a cousin who is physician.
l had him examine my water every
day, and after a week he found improve
ment and honestly acknowledged
that l was on the road to recovery.
And l did recover, although it took a
long time, because l was badly off,
and | took over one hundred bottles
in the course of year and half or
two years. These facts can be
proved by anyone who knew me
then, and l will willingly write to
anyone who NAV desire to know from
me directly and give them a history
of my case. Ferry Truly Yours,

Examiner Sues has been here looking

AMUSEM ENTS.

GcSSSScCScoCCS
The unanimously expressed desire
on the part of the smaller cities of the
country TO see Sol Smith Russell's
great play, "A Poor Relation" Is
about to be realized. for Manager
Fred G. Berger has arranged for a
route taking in NEST OF them. After
Mr.. Russell's enforced retirement
from the stage, owing to his illness.
Mr.. Berger reengaged his supporting
company and with the clever young
actor, Frank j. Keenan,, playing the
part of Noah Vale, "A Poor Relation"
will be seen Wednesday night at Har-
per's theatre. This play and the
character in which Mr.. keenan, ap-
endorsement of the play-going public
through the United States, and it is
therefore no surprise to hear that Mr..
Keenan, is meeting with perfect
ovation wherever he has been seen,
so far this season. "A Poor Rela-
ton" is one of the prettiest pieces of
dramatic work now on the stage. the
humor is delicate. but irresistib BILE:
the pathos is effective, but never
overdone. There is no tendency to
overload the play with climaxes, but
its points are made vigorously and
tastefully.
Lincoln j. Carter, author of I'm
der the Dome,' which comes to Har-
Per's theatre Thursday evening, spent
nearly two years in perfecting the
marvellous ferry boat scene in this
new successful play. 1t is one of the
most intricate mechanical effects ever
placed upon stage, and makes nee
essary i separate portable rigging
loft, which is carried by the company.
of this scene Mr.. Carter has no less
than % patents. He has succeeded
in making an absolutely perfect stage
counterfeit of ferry boat trip. Not
a single detail is lacking. Before the
boat leaves the Jersey dock thousands
of twinkling lights on the New York
shore are seen. The signal given,
the massive boat glides slowly out of
the slip. AS she pushes out into the
stream, the lights of the opposite
shore become larger and brighter,
and presently the outlines of the
buildings are seen. Further realism
is added by the familiar footing of a
wide variety of vessels, the steam ex-
haust of the ferry boat, the cracking
OF its timbers, signal bells. and the
of the engines. At last the
arrival in the New York slip shuts
out the view, and the chains are made
fast, the iron gates are thrown back,
and the passengers leave the boat.
1t would seem that the very name
of David BelascO's play. The Heart
OF MARYLAND, possessed 4 charm to
arouse the enthusiasm and compel the
of the playgoing public
all the world over, whenever it's pres
ence is announced for performance.
Now in its fourth season. and it's story
and characters, it's wonderfully con-
trasted episodes of love and war, upon
which its stirring events are based, it
is being played in theatre after thea
ire to crowded audiences. Its second
visit here is announced to occur
on Friday night at the Burtis, and the
evidence that it will be welcomed by
one of the largest and most nota bic
audiences of the present season is
plainly apparent in the already nu-
merous demands for seats in advance.
