Paines Celery Compound has saved
thousands from nervous prostration and
collapse; it has effected wonderful cures
in kidney and liver complaints; Its vic
tories over rheumatism and neuralgia
have commanded the attention and ad-
lniration of our best physicians. 1t has
cured disease when everything else has
failed.
Mrs. Nathan Beals, a well known lady
of Gallups Mills, VT, writes as follows.
For ten months before I commenced
taking Paine's Celery Compound. I
could not put my foot on the first round
of my chair, only five inches from the
left side, and I could not lift a pound
weight with the left hand without dan

A WASTE Of MONEY
In Fruitless Efforts to Cure
Stomach Trouble.
Not Artificial Digestion But Natural
Digestion Is What Is Needed-How
This May Be Obtained.

More money is spent experimenting
with worthless medicines for stomach
trouble than for any other disease.
These preparations may temporarily aid
digestion, but they cannot cure indiges-
ton. They go at it the wrong way.
To permanently cure indigestion, dys-
pepsia or other stomach trouble the
medicine should act upon the digestive
organs themselves upon their con-
tents. 1t should not do the stomach s
work, but should make the stomach able
to do its own work.
This is what DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People will do as no other
medicine can. They are not composed
of digestive ferments, which promote
an artificial digestion, but they tone up
the stomach, restore the weakened func-
tons Of the digestive organs and there
by promote natural digestion. A case
in point is that of Arthur Mclaughlin.
Of No. 1928 North Lincoln street, Chi
cago, Ill. He says:
For a long time I was troubled with
severe pains in the stomach-a case o.
chronic Indigestion. 1 would feel a
craving for food, but when 1 ate I ex-
nearly drove me distracted. My kidneys
also became affected. 1 tried several
different stomach medicines, and, for a
while, they seemed to help me. Then
the same old pains would come back.
This went on for nearly two years and
at times I was pretty much discour-
aged.
''One day a friend advised me to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. 1 did SO. Before I finished box
the pains were less frequent and less
severe, and by the time 1 had finished
three boxes the pains were a thing OF
the past Now I can eat anything and
enjoy it and I feel like a new man"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie will not only cure stomach trouble,
but are positive cure for all diseases
arising from impoverished blood or shat
tered nerves. They are sold by all
ceipt of price, fifty cents a box or six
boxes for two dollars and fifty cents, by
addressing DR.. Williams Medicine Com
pany, Schenectady, N. Y.

ADA GRAY IS DEAD.
She Made aEast Lynne Famous, Ap-
pearing in It 1000 Times.

Ada Gray, aged 90 years, the noted
actress who made the play East
Lynne" famous in every corner of this
country and in England, died Sunday

long illness.
Ada Gray was born in Boston, Mass.
and was not II years old when she
saw her first play. Her father, a jour-
neyman mason, had died a few years
before and left his family in poor cir
cumstances, so at the age of IA little
Ada found a chance to earn a small
sum of money each night at the Boston
museum and gladly accepted it. The
play in which she made her first ap-
pearance was 1.-The Eunchback." At 16
she was playing principal characters
She went to Ben Debar's theater, ST.
Louis, as leading actress, and next to
Louisville. 1t was in 1885 that Ada Gray
began to make East Lynne" the prin-
years she appeared in it nearly 1000
times.

turned toward the stage. Her master
of elocution took a deep interest in her
and predicted for her a notable career
as a player if she would consent to cui-
tivate her marvellous histrionic powers.
Her family consented and she made her
first appearance as Carolina in the
comedy Il VIII Remain Single" After
that she played in Come Here and
Love and Intrigue" and in these early
performances gave all the signs Of gen.
uine genius.
From Prague she went to Leipsic and
thence to Chemnitz, where she became
a member of a travelling company. In
SaxOny wealthy family took her I'M
der its patronage and secured for her
a number of profitable engagements.
She drifted from Hebron to Cologne
and two years after her debut at
Prague she was engaged as the leading
woman at the Stadt theater in Frank
fort. There she remained more than
ten years and developed into the great
tragic player of classic roles that she
was when she first appeared before an
American audience.
In 1867 she crossed the Atlantic with
her own German company and one of
the finest wardrobes ever possessed by
a woman player. She opened on Octo-
Der 9, 1867, in New York as Medea She
spoke not a word of English but her
superb acting won her an immediate
success. She returned to America in
1870 with the determinat ton to master
English. How well she accomplished
her ambition two generations of Ameri-
cans now know.
Janauschek made her own fame by
hard work, which must always attend
genius, and she succeeded in her own
country and Germany before she came
to America. She was nearly at middle
age when she learned English.
This strong, brave woman, lying al
most helpless, has fortunate memories
of endeavor and achievement which
should reconcile her to the inevitable

ager never served him better than in
casting his play and producing it just
at this time, when every ones eyes are
turned more or less in the direction of
Windsor. But the greatest part of his
inspiration was in securing Mrs. Kendall
and Miss Terry for the wives-Mistress
Ford and Mistress Page.
There are rumors that the relations
between Mrs. Kendall and Miss Terry
have been strained for several years
past, but if this rumor had reached the
ears of Mr.. Tree he treated it as all
gossip should be treated. 1t was not

have Mrs. Kendall as Mrs. Ford When

matter, she said:

A THEATRICAL DICTIONARY.
Rather Pardonable Misapplication of
Stage Terms.

Miss Miriam Nicholson the dramatic
editor of Philadelphia newspaper is
at work upon a dictionary of stage
words, for which, she says, there ex-
lists long felt want. AS an earnest of
her intention of making the work an
epoch maker, she publishes extracts
from the work already CON pleted, and
these show that she is deserving of the
support and encouragement of scholars
and students of the dramatic world.
Here, for instance, are a few of her
definitions:
Curtain: A piece of stage property
affected by ST. Vitus dance and con-
nected by wireless telepathy with the
finger tips of the claque.
Curtain call: A form of physical
culture to which actresses are addicted.
Exit: A bluff.
Duet: A solo sung sentimentally by
the baritone to the soprano, or vice
versa.
s:15 p M: $40.
Encore: means by which ushers
earn their salaries.
Chorus: A SMILE embodied and in
destructible.
Prima donna: Obsolete
Comedian: A term applied to unre-
lated and Unmatched articles of cloth
ing; preferably when worn by a clown.
Coon song: An uncouth dance.
Should Miss Michaelson look kindly
upon suggestions. the following have
been offered:
Art: A word of dubious origin. sell
dom uttered in polite society.
Box office: The medulla oblongata of
the American drama.
Star: A subject Of am using press
agent anecdotes
Syndicate: The American equivalent
for the French academy.
Broadway: A paddock for actors.
Independent manager: A slob. a
lobster.
Press agent: An animal said by some
authorities to be human.
