Demon OF Dyspepaia Makes Life
Miserable for Rockefeller.
New York World: John ID. Rockefel-
Ter works as laborer in the fields
four months out of every year-works
In overalls from dawn It'll dusk.
And at dusk homeward the Croesus
plods his weary way-to supper Of
stale bread and skinned milk
No cream, no butter, no meat, no
pastry, no fresh bread, no white
bread, no champagne, no burgundy,
no cauliflower au gratin, no nice
sauces or gravies.
And 1t ia all because he has dys-
pepsia.
He returned from Europe few
days ago. The doctors held a consul-
tation over him and decided he was In
very bad way. They packed him off
to the Adirondacks, and he must stay
there for many months.
He mustn't bother his head about
the Standard Oil company, which is
paying $4s.ooo,0oo in dividends this
year. to say nothing of the profits
from Its ten great banks and trust
companies. He mustn't sit up late
and mustn't smoke, he mustn't drink
anything hut skinned milk and min
eral waters, he mustn't eat anything
but graham crackers. He must take
long walk every day, whether he
feels like II or not, he must watch his
temperature to zee that he does not
get overheated, but no matter how
thirsty he may be must not drink
water or milk that is cooler than his
own blood.
Mr.. Rockefeller has been sufferer
from acute chronic dyspepsia for If
teen years.
He was not seriously alarmed about
lis condition until the spring of 1891.
The disease reached SO acute stage
Mt that time that the multi-million-
nire was obliged to give up all his
business activities.
He retired to his palace at larry
town, overlooking the Hudson river,
dressed in suit Of overalls and joined
his men in the fields. He arose at 5
every morning and worked till sun
set.
Gradually the color came back to his
face, the pains and nervousness di-
minished and he gained In weight.
After nearly four months of this he
roic treatment Mr.. Rockefeller was
again able to return to his office and
assume his many responsibilities.
This program is repeated every
summer. The life of laborcr for four
months year enables him to barely
put through the winter. Every sum
mcr he is obliged to become laborer
again for his health's sake.

A GREAT PLAY.

Mans Enemy" which comes 10 the
Grand Opera House on Thursday
night, is a melodrama with an enviable
record. IL has pleased London audi
ences and packed the well-known Star
Theatre New York city, time and
again. This play has but one Claim TO
the indulgence OF the people-it is ma
ture. human nature, and its uses are
noble. The action finds its origin in
the character of the persons OF the
play. Shakespeare, Molier Coldona
and writer's OF plays that have occu-
pied the boards for centuries, strange
to say, did the same thing. The peo-
pie In Mans Enemy" are creatures
of destiny; they are controlled by cir
cumstances or at war with circum-
stances. II appears to us. that this is
a better way to write plays. than Is
the practice OF the average modern au-
thor. who regards the stage as a sort
of theatrical checker-bo the char
acters introduced as wooden checkers
and then he sits down and plays his
so-called dramatic game, moving
black against white-hero against vii
lain.
