What to Do Until the Doctor Arrives

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
IN. " dairyman called at a drug store
there for a doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group Not
finding the doctor In, he left word for
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought n bottle Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. which he hoped would
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In a few hours he returned,
saying the doctor need not come. as the
child was much better. The druggist.
Mr.. Otto Scholz. says the family has
since recommended Chamberlain
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has constant demand
for it from that part of the country.

THEATRICAL.
That New Theater.

Up in Syracuse, N. Y, much interest
has been taken In the story recently
printed in The Tribune about the plans
Of A. A. Graf. Of that city. to build
a theater here, to be used for vaude-
willie.
Graf and his partner, Shubert, re.
Gently transferred their lease of the
Dunfee theater in that city to other
parties. They had been running 1t as
a vaudeville house. John L. Kerr, for
merly manager Of the Lyceum, who Is
now in Syracuse. Is authority for the
statement that Graf has not got the
theatrical interests in Syracuse he -ep-
resented himself az having when he
was here. He is of the opinion that
Graf will not build the theater he has
been talking about.
Manager Harvey Long. of the Acad-
emy OF Music and I.yceum, Is Of the
same opinion. He says there Is not
business enough here to warrant an.
other theater or to induce anyone to
put their money into such a venture.
Manager Walsh to Retire.
Manager Austin Walsh. who has
been In charge of the Gaiety since the
opening of the season. has decided to
retire from the burlesque and vaude-
Vile business and will leave the Gaiety
when his lease expires on April 1.
Mr.. Walsh also has a lease of the
Bijou at Wilkes Barre. which has been
burlesque house for several seasons.
For some time past It has been closed.
There is a probability that both houses
will pass into the control of Scranton
parties. who will run them as clean,
high. class vaudeville theaters.
"The Span Of Life"
At the Academy of Music last night
the thrilling melodrama, THE Span of
Life" was presented before large
audience. 1t is a drama in four acts.
three of which are laid in England and
one in South Africa.
In the third act, located in South
Africa, is the incident from which the
play takes it's name. Dunslan Leach
is pursuing Richard Brunt, his wife
and child, and to prevent their escape
from him has destroyed the bridge
crossing a chasm, over which they
must pass to reach a place OF safety.
1t seems that nothing can save them,
when a quartette of Blunt's devoted
followers appear on the other side of
the chasm. and taking in the situation
at a glance, form themselves into a
pillar and then throw themselves
scross the chasm, forming a bridge on
| which the hard pressed Blunts reach
| a place Of safety.
The scene is a thriller and no mis-
| take, and after 1t was over last night
the entire company had curtain call
The human bridge was formed by the
Donazettas. acrobats who also intro.
duced some acrobatic specialties In
| connection with the show. Singing
and dancing specialties were introduc.
ed by Miss Louise j. Valentine and
| Ned Runnell. The leading characters
| in the play were sustained in a capa.
BILE manner by William Howatt, Car
| Anderson. Leonore Gordon and Louise
]. Valentine.
1.-The Span Of Life" will be repeated
this and tomorrow afternoons and
| evenings.

Pictures Of the Fight.

The biosraph pictures of the Jeffries-
Sharkey contest will be placed on pub
lie view for the first time at the Ly-
ceum theater next Friday and Satur-
day. with a special matinee Saturday.
The pictures are admirably clear. The
movements of the pugilists, their
feints. their blows. their. parties. their
advances and retreats are shown with
remarkable vividness.
None of the tricks of the gladiators
are lost to the eye of the audience.
Moreover, the characteristic attitudes
snd movements OF we'll known sport
ing men are portrayed so as to be un. +.
failingly recognizable.

Will Make a Choice-Number of
Voting Precincts in the County
Has been Increased.

The ballot commissioners for Ohio
county held meeting yesterday after
noon. The commissioners are Charles
H. Henning Charles e. Dannenberg and
Nelson c. Hubbard. The last named
member is the minority representative.
The principal business before the
commissioners was the awarding of the
contract for the ballots and other print
ed matter to be used at the polls. Bids
were received from the West Virginia
Printing Company. the Intelligencer
Publishing Company and the News Pub
fishing Company. The bids of the first
and last named were very close, the
West Virginia Printing Company's bid
being rs cents lower than that OF the
News.
The commissioners decided to order
1900 official ballots. The election law
PROVIDES that there shall be three bal
lots for each voter. the estimate being
based upon the number of votes cast.
at the last preceding general election.

the ballot at the coming election, name
ly: Democratic, Republican, prohibit
ton, Peoples Party and Social Demo-
cratic Only the Democratic and Repub-
lican tickets are full. The Social DEM
ovratic ticket will simply contain the
names of Eugene V. Debs' Presidential
electors. The Peoples Party is the
Middle-of-the-R Road Populists, and the
ticket is incomplete. The rohibition
ticket contains the names of candidates
for electors, and the principal State
offices. but no district or county off,
ces. There are no Prohibition candi-
dates for Judges of the Supreme court
or Attorney General.
The number of voting precincts IN
Ohio county has been increased since
the go election. on account of the re-
districting of the county. In the re-
arrangement Of precincts there are eight
new ones. and three are taken out,

idential election. The county voting
precincts are virtually the same. centre

Was the Demand for Goods at the
Kings Daughters Rummage Sale.
A Great Success.
The Kings Daughters have made
great success out of their rummage
sale given for the benefit of the Day
Nursery. The goods mostly in demand
now are warm clothing for men and
children. There is also a great demand
for carpets. Children's clothing has
been in demand ever since the cool
spell set in.
Early Saturday morning the COM
mittee had big supply of mems, wo-
mems and childrens clothing on hand
and thought they had sufficient sup
ply, but the larger part had been sold
before noon and very little clothing of
any kind was left by the middle of
the afternoon. Quite a quantity of
clothing was taken to the rooms yes
terday. AL day Saturday the room
was crowded with purchasers, many
of them coming from nearby towns.
THE articles offered for sale are very
numerous and include clothing, carpets,
furniture, queensware, millinery and
many other classes of goods. Miss
Sheppard gave her services to the COM
mittees several days last week to trim
a number of ladies hats, which have
been presented to the committee. A

A horrible accident occurred last
evening on the Terminal railroad on the
viaduct between Ninth street and the
Belmont Brewing Company's place in
Martins Ferry. Miss Bertha Dorsch, a
young daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Dorsch, who live at the corner of Sec
ond and Jefferson streets, was the vic
tim.
She was returning from school from
the First ward building on Broadway.
and first went to the postofice on Han
over street, and returned on her way
home by Fourth street.
She walked out ON the viaduct of the
Terminal road at its intersection with
Fourth street Her evident intention
was to follow the viaduct to the brew
cry, and from there go down the steps
to Jefferson street, and then home.
The young girl was walking over this
track, when a long freight train was
seen coming in the opposite direction.
The engine was on the rear end of the
train, and was about 100 yeards from
the girl when she first noticed it. She
was then only about 200 feet beyond the
bridge on Fourth street. The brake
man on the box-car heading the train
motioned and called to the girl to
jump, but the unfortunate child became
bewildered, and the brakeman did all
in his power to signal the engineer to
stop the train, but failed. The trestle
was about ten feet from the ground.
The car struck the girl, and ground
her almost to pieces, fragments of the
body being picked up many yards from
where she was struck. The mangled
body was picked up and taken to Mobiles
undertaking establishment. Coroner
Beetham, of Bellaire, was notified but
it is thought no inquest will be held
Miss Dorsch was fourteen years old, and
was a bright young girl having large
circle of friends. Last night the time
of the funeral had not been determined
upon.
1t is reported that Mr.. Dorsch, the
father of the girl, stated that he had
several times warned her about the
danger of walking on the trestle. The
brakeman on the train, finding that she
did not jump, undertook to push her off,
but failed The girl was excited and held
to the guard rail, when she might have
saved her life by leaping to the ground

DR.. C. S. TERRELL DEAD.

Returned Missionary from China
Passed Away Yesterday Morning.
A peculiarly sad death was that OF
DR.. Charles S. Terrill, which took place
at five o'clock yesterday morning, at
the home of his father, G. S. Terrill,
ST., one mile east of Triadelphia.
DR.. Terrill was born in Ohio county
"a years ago, and spent his boyhood
here. He attended the Linsly Insti-
tute. Wash-Jeff College, and studied
medicine and graduated from the Woos-
ter Medical College,, Cleveland, o. A
little later he married Miss Charlotte
Hazlett, daughter of Robert Hazlett,
superintendent of the construction de-
partment of the Western Union.
Some time ago Dr. Terrill was as
signed to the SUPPLEMENTARY of the
Presbyterian hospital at Su-Chien, in
North China, and left for that country
in company with his wife, arriving
shortly before the Boxer uprising,
which necessitated his hurried depart
ure for America. He was i'll, and went
first to Karnigava, Japan, where he
improved somewhat.
DR.. Terrill and wife reached Wheel
ing about two weeks ago. DR.. Terrin
was in poor health, and was compelled
to go to his bed Constitutional trou-
BILE of a tubercular order made its ap-
pearance, and baffled the skill of the
physicians. The patient sank gradual
ly until death came yesterday morn
ing.
DR.. Terrills death will occasion wide
spread sorrow among his friends. 1t
came at the very outset Of what prom
ised to be a bright career. He was an
earnest and consistent Christian, and
but for the circumstances which cut
short his stay in china, he would have
remained in that country for number
of years.
in 1886 DR.. Terill went to Persia as
an Independent missionary, and re-
manned there two years.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not yet been made. 1t will probably
take place from the Stone Church in
Elm Grove

M1die.lsa as. s.Lady Mackbeth."


The greatest portrayals of Lady Mac
beth, the character in which Madame
Modjeska will appear at the Opera
House on Friday evening, are said to
have been those Of Mrs. Siddons and
Charlotte Cusnman, two artists that
have been forgotten by the present gem
Grafton of playgoers. Since that time
no one has approached the magnifl-
cence of Moajeskas assumption of the
character. 1t may be said, however, in
all justice to the great tragedienes of
the past, tina. if they were on earth
now and would give the same portray
ais of this character that were given in
their day, the theatre going public
would not accept them. Lady Macbeth
was, according to the period in which
she lived, natural, or at least a prob
able, creation She had moral weak
nesses, but they were natural weak
nesses, and the impulses that rose from
them were not strange or unaccount-
able Modjeska will be assisted by a
brilliant company headed by R. D. Mac
Lean and Odette Tyler, the former ap-
pearing in the part of Macbeth in which
he is said to have made the hit Of his
career.

that the minstrel entertainment of to-

,aAThere was large audience at the
Opera House last night to witness the
production of Hoyt's "A Hole n he
Ground" The attendance was evil
dence of the fact that there is box Of
flee magnetism in the name Of the pop
ular playwright. There is really very
little in the production to commend it
to lovers of first class farce comedy.
The audience was disappointed. There
were a number OF very pleasing spe-

formers were repeatedly encored. 1t is
but fair to say that much more satisfac-
tory farce comedy productions have
been seen here at popular prices.
