Mr.. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago l operated float 4
ing saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. [ employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great los. of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the
medicine trial. [ procured it, and those who
were sick were put this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on used nothing else but Johnsons Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly

balance of the train and ran ahead a
short distance. The men found the
door locked and after commanding
Messenger William Lupton to open
it and getting no response, fired two
or three shots into the car The door

Covered with RevoIvers.

The two burglars stood at the bed

could aim at the burglars, whose

to aid his son, but staggered and fell

his automatic gestures have become

But they make it necessary for the actor
who plays the other Dromio to initiate as
perfectly as possible his peculiarities, and
this Is no easy task. Mr.. Crane demon
strated his marvellous gift of mimicry
by accomplishing it, and now the task has
fallen to Clifford Leigh, who succeeds

OF Adriana, his wife, been bet

who realizes the changing moods of that

Mayo as her sister furnishes the grateful
contrast intended by the dramatist. Even
such comparatively minor roles as Aegeon

Gil Kingstone), Angelo (Joseph P. Keefe)
and Balthazar (Walter Pennington are
well played, and the production in it's en-
t1rety is very satisfactory presentment

competition with the 100000 bushels Of
western Canada and the surplus OF other

The Closing Campaign.

Secretary Root in his speech in New
York last evening with much force set
forth the rationale Of the republican posi-
ton in this campaign.
He properly assumed that there is Pc
culiar seriousness in the economic ques-
lions which have come up for discussion
and disposal so strongly and with voices
which must be heard and needed: He
showed that the Roosevelt administration
has shown itself splendidly capable of
dealing with these economic problems and
has fully maintained the prestige of the
republican party as the solver Of the most
serious problems which have presented
themselves to this nation during the past
forty years. Secretary Root forcibly sug-
gested that the introduction of democratic
majority in the next house would simply
retard the solution Of the questions and
embarrass the practical refornatory work
of the administration. Let u.s." said Sec
rotary Root, keep our faith in American
institutions and deal with the evils that
are before us now and are to come here
after along the lines of the same benefi-
cent system which has dealt successfully
with every phase Of the great struggle for
the distribution of wealth in the past" +
The campaign Of this year is said by
some tc be characterized by APATHY" but
this Is a mistake, for, although this Is a
year of very great prosperity and business
affairs occupy largely the minds Of the
people, there never was a campaign, prob
ably. In which the public did more think
ing upon economic questions, except in

brought about by the great anthracite coal
strike forced the. most serious questions
upon the public mind for consideration.

rors" at the Metropolitan.
Cases Of mistaken identity are common
enough in this world to make even the
series Of errors and complications in Shak-
spere's great comedy seem entirely pos
s1ble. Only few weeks ago here in Min
neapolis the corpse Of a murdered man
only just escaped being buried under the
name Of a living man. 1t had been posi-
lively identified by his friends and rela-
tives, but the man himself appeared and
asserted so positively that he was not
dead that the funeral was given up Play
wrights from time immemorial have made
use Of mistaken identities, but 1.-THE Com
edy OF Errors Is the most nearly per-
feet example Of a play based on them.
Bewildering and even farcical though
some of the complications seem, there
Is not wanting a serious, almost tragic
note throughout the play. This is first
sounded in the opening scene, when old
Aegeon relates his woful tale, and is heard
again at intervals until the final beauti-
full scene, wherein the difficulties are
cleared up. And, although the two pairs
of twins are made to resemble each other
closely in face, figure, voice and manner
and even dress, Shakspere very artfully
dtfferentiates them In character. Even
If the same actor were to impersonate
both Antipholuses and the same actor both

except in the last scene, where all four

The only representation Of Drornio of
! Syracuse that has been seen in this coun-
try for many years .is that of Stuart Rob-
son, and it has long since become a clas-
sic like the Rip Van Wrinkle of Joseph
Jefferson. When he flrst presented it in
public, William II. Crane, then his dra-
matte partner, played Dromio Of Ephesus,
and together the two talented actors pre-
scented probably the best production Of
the comedy ever given. Then their ca
