THE NElLLS IN
NANCY & co,

Nancy & CO.." needs no criticism.
instead. there pleasantly falls to the
lot of the critic an office which, despite
captious laymen. is a most enjoyable
one, even when the critic is of bilious
graduating all the cast for most
enjoyable entertainment.
Nancy & CO.. starts with complica-
tions that make the first act somewhat
explanatory and some OF the charac-
tiers rather complicated. 1t is hardly
piece for aspiring amateurs.
The eleven who grouped themselves
at the drop of the curtain while Miss
Chapman spoke the tag, conspired
most happily with word and gesture
to make the play a merry one.
Edythe Chapman as the wife so
wrapped up in the excitement of play
writing as to become temporarily ire
spOnsible and weave a net of suspicion
around the unfortunate and innocent
Keefe O'Keefe. poet and dramatist,
ably portrayed in light and happy vein
by MacVicars, made an improbable
character natural by spontaneity Of
voice and action in the wild goose chase
of the first three acts, and the pretty
womanliness of the last.
Miss Forbes who. 1 believe, attempt
ed. if not her first, one of her first
more responsible roles last night. pre-
scented a delightful stage presence and
sweet. ingenious personality, giving
promise of excellent and consistent
work to come. Miss Dean in the small
part of the maid was pre-eminently
the nights fun, as did Miss Andrews,
who had very little to do. Mr.. Neil.
as the worried spouse. did excellent
work in appearance and facial express
sion. His was not a lengthy part, but
in his hands was made entirely ade-
quate.
John Burton, as GrifIing. was. in pro-
gram parlance, a caution" His make
up and mannerisms are always excel
lent and never wearisome. MacVicars
added another proof of his versatility,
and Robert Morris was a handsome
captain, playing the light comedy role
with ease and dexterity.
Bloomquenst was much more y home
in his natural role Of eccentric come
dian than he has been on other semi
heroic occasions. and gave an original
and clever impersonation of the hon
orable little lamb that was delightfully."-
free from the too often usual attributes
of the stage dude. Crosswen played a
bit satisfactorily. Some day suppos-
eddy "colored" bellboy or page will de-
part from stage tradition and follow

the too palpably artificial burnt cork.

more natural makeup Of the rest of

1T takes a lot of thinking to get up a
name for a new cigar" remarked the
representative of a big cigar manufac-
tory. 1.-The popularity of a cigar is in
fluenced more or less by the judicious
selection of a name. I've known some
that didn't go at all under one name to
have quite a large sale when put on the
market as another brand A good name
for a cigar is one that is short and
catchy. 1t must sound nice, for a name
that jars on the ear will hoodoo any
cigar. We do a lot of studying when we
are about to introduce new low priced
cigar to the public At the factory a
prize is usually offered for the best
name, and there is much consideration
given to the selection of the name. The
smoker won't stand for a clumsy, I'M
wieldy title, and we have 10 use Judg-
ment if we want to enjoy his patronage"

KATE eREENwAY DEAD.
Artist Whose Pictures OF Children
Are Famous the World Over.

LONDON. Nov. Miss Kate Green
way, the artist, is dead.
Miss Greenway won her fame as an
artist through her sketches and paint
ings of children. These were drawn
with such a whimsical grace, and her
children depicted in such a dainty
fashion, in such a novel garb, that
"Greenway' children became the fad.
Her art produced a revolution in the
dress of children. leading to the adop-
ton of sensible as wei as pretty styles.
She contributed to many magazines
and illustrated many children's books.

EXHAUSTIVE COMPETITION.

Before the Australian Gag was chosen
more than $4,000 designs were carefully
examined. The competition was origi-
nally started by 1.-The Australasian Re
view of Reviews and as many of the
designs were well worth notice. the
government took the matter up and Of
fered a reward of goo for the best sug-
gestion. A board of naval experts was
appointed to examine those sent in, and
a decision was reached on October 8.

DON'T NEGLECT.
A Common Case of Piles-It may
Lead to Serious Results.
From the Sydney Herald.)

When people generally understand
that all such fatal diseases as hstula,
ulcer of the rectum, fissure, ETC., al
most invariably begin In simple case
OF piles, they will learn the wisdom OF
taking prompt treatment for the first
appearance OF trouble in this quarter.
Doan's Ointment will certainly cure
every form of piles - itching,
bleeding, protruding, or blind piles
and hundreds Of lives have been saved
by using this cheap, effective remedy
right at the start. because at such q
time a single pot will effect a cure.
while IN the old chronic, deep-seated
cases, several pots are sometimes nee
essary before lasting cure Is effected.
Here Is a case:
Mr.. William Gilliver, Of the we'll
known firm OF Gilliver & Curtis, rail-
way and general contractors, and
whose private address Is "Avoca, .
Bankstown, has written the following
unsolicited letter, which We herewith
publish In full:
Messrs. Foster-McClellan Co.. 76 Pitt
ST., Sydney, N. s. W., February IA,
1899.
Dear Sirs:-In justice to you ami
suffering humanity / write to say that
I suffered from itching piles for p
years. ] tried many doctors and pref
~ well all kinds Of patent medicines,
but got relief for a short time only.
Seeing your Ointment advertised /
bought pot and did not use more
than one-half of It, not six months
ago, and 1 am perfectly cured. You
may use this as you wish.
Yours gratefully,
WILLIAM GILLIVER.
It cannot be repeated too often that
Doan's Ointment will cure itching
piles. 1T WILL CURE THEM ABSO-
LUTELY. But do not take the manu-
facturer's word for this; ask or write
Mr.. Gilliver; he knows, for 1t cured
him, and he lives in Bankstown, SUI
burb II miles from Sydney. Is not that
the best possible kind OF proof? Could
there be better?
Doan's Ointment is sold by all deal
ers at so cents per box or will be
mailed en- receipt OF price by the Hol-
lister Drug Co., Honolulu, agents for
the Hawaiian Islands.

Success Of the Dispensary.

Columbia. January 12-Chairman
Williams, as the committee Of one
designated for that purpose. has com
pleted the annual report of the State
board of dispenssry directors to the
General Assembly, through the Gov
ernor. Il is as follows
To His Excellency. NJ B Nc
Sweeney. Governor Of South Caro-
lima: We are pleased to have the
honor to submit to you, and through
you to the General Assembly, our re
port of the financial transactions of
the dispensary for the fiscal year
commencing January l, 1899. aud
ending November 80, 1900, period
covering eleven months
You will see, by examination Of
the data hereto attached. that our
total purchases amounted to 81 400.
236 78, and that our total gross sales
for the eleven months were $2.42l,.
$40 20
The total net profits to the State
on account of the school fund are
Sls6.O12 18 The total net profits
to the counties and towns are 1898.
l66 %, making total net profit to
the towns, counties and school fund.
$414,l18 46.
The latest Dispensary Act. ap
proved February 10. 1900. made our
fiscal year close on November 80.
which makes it necessary that this
report only covers eleven months !;
but should wo consider December
also, and reckon 8 whole year, you
will End that the total net earnings
are, for twelve months, $566 86S 70,
which is an increase over last years
protits OF 1852 686 95.
We do not attribute this pheno
menal increase in earnings to any
increase in consumption Of liquors,
but think that better feeling to-
wards the dispepsary law has turned
the trade to the dispeDsaries Re
spectfully submitted.
