Much more than ordinary interest is
being manifested in the recital to be
given at the Columbia Theatre next Tues
day afternoon by Mr.. and Mrs. Georg
Henschel, which, by the way, will be
their last appearance in this country, as
they will sail for Europe to fulfill en-
gagements Immediately after their con-
cert in this city. The programme that
has been arranged is a most cOmprehen-
siye one, and includes some of the best
things in the repertoire of these remark
ably talented musicians. Lovers of all
that is good in music know that the Hem
schels. by their past performances in the
Capital, occupy Il position of distinction
and prominence In the world of art and
there is every reason to believe the state
ment of the management that their recital
next Tuesday afternoon Will be one of the
most notable events of the local concert
season. Seats for the recital are on sale
at Sanders & Stayman's music store.

greater favorites on the American stage.
will be seen at the National Theatre next
week, in dramatization of Winston
Churchii's widely read novel. Richard
Carvel," in which he has been appearing
with considerable success at the New
York Empire Theatre for the past four
months.
The chief role of the Carvel play will
present Mr.. Drew in new style of work,
one in which his ripe art should be seen
to splendid advantage. The production
that will be seen at the National Is. ac-
cording to the management, the same as
was used during the extensive metro
politan run of the play. while the stage
version of the interesting story requires
thirty speaking characters. so 1t will be
readily seen that most of the personages
of the book have been transported to the
realm of the footlights by Mr.. Edward f.
Rose, who prepared the tale for the stage.
There is a great deal of interest mani
tested in the coming engagement of Mr..
Drew. and the sale of seats, which will
commence this morning. promises to be

A GOOD STORY

A certain young lady in del
icate health was advised by her
doctor to take half-teaspoon-
full of SCOTS emulsion of cod
liver oil after dinner-once a
day-and found herself almost
suddenly growing robust.
SO small a dose is by no
means the rule; the rule is
whatever the stomach will bear
not more. Another rule is:
take it on every least occasion,
but not too much; don't ever
do it.
