tons which will render Mrs. Camp
BELLS support one of the strongest that
ever crossed the water.
AS yet the New York theater for her
opening has not been decided upon,
One Broadway theater is already in
control of Liebler & Co., but circum-
stances may render a change desira-
BILE. At all events, New York is to see
Mrs Campbell about January, and the
big cities of the country are to see her,
though the route is not yet booked.
At the Fourteenth Street theater
there was produced a plays by Eugene
Presbrey entitled New England
Folks" There have been lately so
many of these human" melodramas
which have proved we'll worth seeing
that the audience is prepared to be
pleased from the first. Such a play,
where heart interest is the string on
which the tune is played, must be
strong in all it's makeup and must, be-
sides, be in good hands. Where these
two necessities are complied with sue
cess is assured, but where either is
lacking a want is felt which accom-
pIishes what author and manager both
least desire.
New England Folks" contains all
the ingredients of a successful play of
its kind, but the hand which made it
was too uncertain. There is not quite
enough of anything. A little more
strength in the situations, little more
depth in Ehe pathos and a little more
humor in the comedy would greatly
improve it. The cast is good enough,
the leading parts being in some cases
in excellent and in others in satisfac-
torily pleasing hands.
Consider Morton (Mr. Frank Nor
daunt) owns a farm in New England,
where he lives with his sister Abigail,
his son Joe CWalter Thomas) and his
adopted daughter Faithful. Mark Dun
ham, an INSCRIPTIONS but successful
business man of New York, has bust
ness partner in love with his daughter
Rose, who, though aware of some ir-
regularity in her fathers business
methods, does not dream of its enormi-
ty. She is a sort of social decoy for the
men he wants to influence, and she at
last openly revolts. He plans to bring

The recent death of Alix, 2:03%, at
Pawtucket, R. l., brings to mind the
days when she was trotting champion
of the world and when a whole nation
gave her greeting. The name of Alix
goes down in history with those of
Goldsmith Maid, Maud S., 2:0S%; Su-
mol, 2:0SA, and Nancy Hanks, 2:O4. the
gamest trotters that ever drew suIkies
and whose chief delight was in the
breaking of records. The death of
Frederick Sayles' great trotter leaves
Nancy Hanks as the only living repre-
sentative of the famous quintet.
Many horsemen are of the opinion
that Aiix could have cut the trotting
mark to two minutes had she NOT
wrenched her leg at Denver in 1895.
thus preventing her from racing again.
1t is an interesting coincidence that
Alix was chlorOformed a short time be-
fore she was to have been bred to Cres-
ceus, 2:0232, and that Maud S. died Just
as she was about to be bred to Ak
worthy, owned by John H. Shuts of
Portchester N. Y, on whose farm she
spent her last days. 1t is also worthy
of note that Cresceus, Alix, Nancy
Hanks, Sunol and Maud S. have all
occupied at different times the same
stall at Belmont park, Philadelphia.
Admirers of Alix are considering a
plan to build a monument to her mem
ory somewhat similar to that placed
over the grave of Maud S. by the Rob
ert Bonner estate. Alix leaves two
foals, both of which are fillies, sired by
Sable Wilkes. They are owned by Mr..
Sayles.

And thus it is that we are to see Mrs.
Patrick Campbell in New York and
other large cities of the United States.
In her repertory will be included all
the great characters she has helped to
render famous. 1t was Mrs. Campbell
who created" Paula Tanqueray and
Mrs. Ebbsmith, characters which intel
lectual London never wearies of see
ing, especially as Mrs. Campbell pre-
sents them. But greater even than
these is her Magda, which, it is well to
say, is the representation selected for
her first appearance in New York city.
The Mariana of the Spanish drama
fist, Jose Echegaray, is in the list, as
are also a couple Of one act comedies
IN which she has achieved great success
in London. Then there has been a new
play written especially for her by z. F.

the executive head of Liebler & Co.,
sat in the Royalty theater one night
and saw Mrs. Campbell in the special
version of Suderman's "Magda" which
Louis N. Parker had prepared for her.
AS the curtain fell after the third act
Mr.. Bertram, Mrs. Campbell's manager,
led the New Yorker back on the stage
and introduced him to the great artist.
The following evening he dined with
her and when he took his departure
he was nearer the contamination of
his desire than he had dared to hope.
A couple of months ago cables began
to take the place of letters, and one
day the manager drew a long breath,
for he believed that the contract was
clinched. There suddenly came a sum-
mons to London. There an unexpected
difficulty had arisen. Mr.. Tyler was
too busy a man just then to think of
visiting London. Even while he brood
ed A. H. Candy, who had been sum-
moned from Australia TO take charge
of the Kyrle Bellew tour, walked into
the Office. He personally knew Mrs.
Campbell well. So, Notwithstanding
his just completed journey from the
antipodes, Mr.. Candy sailed the next
day for London. He was there three
weeks before he was able to cable the
success of his mission. but the mes
sage came, and in due time Mr.. Candy
returned to New York bearing the
signed contract in his pocket.

The killing Of aged injured and seri-
ously afflicted horses by chloroform
nowadays is considered to be more hu-
name than the so called old fashioned
method of shooting. Up to date vet
erinarians are unanimous in the opin-
ion that drugs are better death dealers
than bullets. There is, however, an
other side to the question. The leaden
missile does its work instantly when
directed by a steady hand and an ex-
perienced eye, but chloroform serves to
prolong the agony, and in many cases
two or three applications of the drug
have to be used.
A shining example of the evils of
chloroform in horse killing came under
my observation last summer at a prom
inent seashore resort. A valuable
saddle horse stumbled, breaking a fore
leg. The animal was held on the
ground for more than an hour await

weaker than that OF any other city of its

tected. With over serenity men on the

theirs rents, neighbors who were without

Always Cause Damage.

Alcoholic drinks are not mere deceivers,
they always cause damage and often death.
Scarcely an organ of the body is exempt
from their influence. They begin their
destructive work on the lining of the
stomach. Here they cause disease of the
stomach at times slight, at others serious,
creating the more harm because they in
jure the appetite and hinder the patient
from using natural food and thus dimin-
ishing his power of resistance. And be-
sides the paralyzing effect of alcoholic
liquors, they prevent people from discov-
ering the fact of stomach trouble for some
time, SO that the patients are the more
deceived into attempting to nourish them
selves on Liquid Bread under the i'm
preston that it is the only food that
agrees with them, until at last they de-
velop into regular topers, real drunkards..
France leads the world in wire and
spirit drinking, with Germany far-away
second, Great Britain third and the Uni
ted States low fourth.

The weekly house-to-house delivery
system of books from the public libra.
ry, established in Springfield, Mass, a
few months ago, is proving success
in the district in which it has been
tried The operating agreement is to
be renewed this fall, and if the plan
continues to be popular in this district
it will be extended to other sections
of the city. OF the $50 persons re-
ceiving books in this way, more than
one-half had never before made any
use of the city library. 1t has been
found necessary to raise the price Of
the delivery somewhat, and a choice
is given of paying SO cents for six
weeks of the service, 81 for IL weeks,
or SO for SO weeks. This is less than
the cost of street-car fare to and from
the library once week. 1t must be
remembered, too. that the unit of the
system is the house and not the in
dividual. and that any number of per-
sons in one family who are entitled
to hold cards can have a book apiece
for the expense of one delivery
