Hold Season Passes.

Hold Season Passes.
There was trouble at the Crawford
Saturday. There was q woman at the
bottom of it.
John Griffith and his company, who
have been having a rather bad time
financially at the Kansas thcaters where
they have been, played .Spartacus, the
Gladiator as a matinee aud tsWirginius'

in private life is Mrs. John. Griffith, in
the terms Of the profession was on the

at the entrance for the afternoon per-
Torrance. For a woman 10 be in front
is unusual, but Mrs. Griffith was there
and what was more she was determined to
have her own way and rule both ends
of the theater. Just TO be n style and
keep in practice she ranted about the
season passes presented at the door. 1t
was really a good thing that there were
season passes there as the audience
would have been that much smaller had
they not been there. So while Mr..
Griffith was preparing for a gladitorial
combat on the stage his wife was train
ing for q combat at night She an
nounced that at the night performance
she would refuse admittance to all pass

her but she was stubborn. So he called
o. T. Crawford to his Assistance.

Crawford went back to the stage and
ordered the stage carpenter to turn out
the lights.

Then Mr. Griffith rushed TO the front
and exDostulated with his wife and in
duced her to leave the arena and don the
garb of Virginia and cease the battle
Mr. Griffith won. and then held a stormy
interview with Crawford IN the office.
Finally he went back to the stage and
played ''Ntrginius to a house which paid

Those who saw the five acts and thir
teen scenes of 'rSpartacus" at the matinee
had their doubts to the entertaining
qualities of the production, as did those
who saw the six acts and twelve scenes
OF ''Nirginius" at night. Mr. Griffith is
an actor OF considerable ability but his
style OF acting, which some call rantinz.

as popular as they used to be The COM

WHY SO MANY FAIL.
The Reason So Many catarrtl REM
edies are Unsuccessful.


There are few troubles. for which there
are so many remedies and so called
cures" as for catarrh and it may be
added there are few diseases so difficult
to really and permanently cure
Inhalers, sprays, powders and douches
are all applied locally and give temper
airy relief. often only a few hours, and It
is doubtful If anything like real cure
Of catarrh was ever accomplished by the
use Of local applications.
Catarrh Is a constitutional disease, II
is in the blood like rheumatism and to
cure it requires an internal medicine to
act upon the blood, to drive out the ca
tarrhal poison from the system entirely
and anyone can readily see that salve
or powder or inhaler which simply clears
off the mucous membrane Of the nose
cause of catarrhal disease
The remarkable success OF the new
catarrh remedy, Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's is because it drives out of the sys-
tenn through the natural channels, the
catarrhal poison, the germs of grip,
bronchitis and consumption and causes
the hawking, splitting and gagglng be-
cause the excessive secretion IS no
longer supplied when the blood is made
healthy from the regular use of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets.
The remedy is in the form of large 20
grain Iozenges. pleasant and palatable,
composed only Of wholesome antiseptics
and 50 safe to use that little children
use them with perfect safety and bene-
fit If the little one IS suffering from
colds. Group or cough from any cause
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets have been on
the market scarcely one year, yet they
have met with popularity and success
that druggists everywhere IN United

demand for them

Brutal Spectacle Was the Ryan
West Battle.
Fought Seventeen Rounds in
Pools OF Blood

Ryan Almost Knocked Out But
Finally Won.

Louisville KY, March 5.-Tommy
Ryan. of Syracuse. last night was given
the decision over Tommy West, of
Brooklyn. after seventeen rounds Of a
twentx-round contest. Vests seconds
threw up the sponge.
The fight took place at the Audito-
rum. under the auspices of the Southern
Athletic club and was the bloodiest and
most desperate ever seen in Louisville
They entered the ring at catch weights
and each weighed in the neighborhood of
157 pounds.
After the tenth round West was as
sisted by Terry McGovern.
In the first round honors were about
even, though both were right in for bust
ness Both landed often and hard,
West getting in several hard jolts on
Ryan's nose. In the second Ryan was
knocked down twice, and seemed all but
out when the gong sounded
At the first knOck-down Ryan took al
most the full count The third ana
fourth rounds were Vests and the fifth
Ryan's. In the sixth West landed on
Ilyan's nose and there was more blood.
Ryan was the aggressor in this round,
but West blocked and landed at will,
and but for the gong might have fin
ished his man.
In the seventh Ryan's lip was split
and Vests nose was broken, his right
eye closed, his forehead laid open in two
places and his cheek split. Blood poured
from mis- wounds as time after time
Ryan landed on the injured places. He
played continually for the broken nose
and for the next half dozen rounds made
a veritable chopping block Of West. The
punishment West took was wonderful,
blood pouring from nearly a dozen of his
wounds. Vests corner looked like a
slaughter house, and the fight announcer
actually had to wipe the blood from the
III It'd
was the fight that several persons near
the ring were nauseated and had to
leave the hall, still during round after
round West came up only for more
poundings on the nose, eye and cheek
In the seventeenth round. when it was
seen that West was fighting a hopeless
fight, Terry A1cGovern threw up the
sponge for West, and the referee gave
the decision to RYAN.
