list. While not the most beautiful
woman ON the American stage, she is
fascinating and at all times animated
and holds kthe attention of her audi.
ence at all times.
Miss Allen was ably supported. An
old favorite in Paducah was Miss
Adelaide Prince Mrs. Creston Clarke
as Princess of Erboli, one of the in
triguers of the kings court. The char
acter requires talent of a high order,
and Miss Prince was found to have
lost none of her ability to charm with
her clever work and engaging person
atty.
Mr.. Ebon Plymptep, as the King
Of Spain, is an actor of unusual abil-
ity, and his portrayal of the part was
such as to evoke many expressions of
admiration and wonder. He is every
inch an actor, and his superior has sell
dom been seen on the local stage.
Mr.. william Pascoe, as Don John,
was equally as pleasing, and COM
bines with a handsome face and
graceful presence, splendid voice
and the soul of the true artist.
Mr.. Arthur Hoyt as the court fool
was excellent, and his work was as
pleasing as that of Mr.. William Nor
ris as the jester in Francesca DE
Remini"
Mr.. j. II. Benrimo, captain Of the
guards, gave a pleasing portrayal Of
the loyal, selfish, unrelenting officer
who considers the wish of the king,
and his own favor at court, above the
happiness of his daughter. His work
requires the finished touch of the real
actor, and this was pleasingly given
by him.
Miss Aliens support was faultless.
There was not weak character IN the
cast. The others were all fine in their
respective parts, which were not so
prominent as those above. The play
has six acts, but it never drags, and
the audience would have doubtless
gladly remained another six. Miss
Allen and her company received many
curtain calls, and the enthusiasm
shown was not surpassed by that at
any attraction this season.

the great sky-crapers in New York and
Chicago and the Tucker building looked
exactly as she imagined that they did.
She was perfectly delighted with her
sight tour.
Mrs Novel; had, of course, never seen
such a recent thing as street car, and
the Governors mansion greatly pleased
her. DR.. Jane Mckee has frequently
tried to induce Mrs. NOVEL; to take a
ride over the city, but without success.

Only Change by Senate Committee Failure TO
Take Tax OFF Bucket Shops.
(By the Associated Press.


Washington, March Ex-senator AID
rich. from the Committee on Finance to-
day presented to the Senate the report
of that committee on the bill repeating
the war revenue act, and thus made pub
lie for the first time the amendments to
the bill suggested by the committee.
There are many changes in the language
of the bill, but except in one instance
the intention of the House Bill of re-
pealing the entire act is respected. The
exception is the provision in the exist
ing law providing for the taxation of
bucket Shops which provision is left
intact and the tax continued in effect.
The House provision authorizing the
appointment of ten additional revenue
agents in connection with the rebate on
tobacco on hand when the law shall go
into effect is eliminated, but the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue is au-
thorized to adopt such regulations as
may be necessary to carry the provision
into effect.

Whether we indorse prize fighting or
not, it is nevertheless interesting to
know the manner by which men arrive
at such physical perfection.
James Jeffries, the present champion
beavy-weight of the world and his gal
liant opponent, Tom Sharkey, in the
greatest pugilistic encounter that has
ever taken place, both pursued much
the same course of training, and the first
and most important part of this training
was to get the stomach in condition,
and to keep the digestion absolutely
perfect, so that very muscle and nerve
would be at its high capabilities.
This was OF done by secret patent
medicine, but both of these great pugi-
lists used we'll known natural digestive
tablet sold by druggists under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and com
posed of the digestive ferments which
every stomach requires for healthy di-
gestion.
Champion Jeffries says: 'Stuart's Dy-
spepsia Tablet prevent acidity, strength
en- the stomach and insure perfect 1iges-
tion. They keep man in fine physical
condition" Signed. James ]. Jeffries
champion of the world.
'rhe gallant fighter, Sharkey, says:
"Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets remove all
discomfort after eating. They rest the
stomach and restore it to healthful
condition. ] heartily recommend them"
Signed, Thomas j.. ShaEkey.
The advantage of the daily use of
Stusrt's Dyspepsia Tablets is that they
keep people we'll and ward off sickness
and are equally valuable to we'll persons
as to the dyspeptics Another advantage
is that these tablets contain no cathar-
tics, or poisons of any character, but
simply digestive ferments which are
found in every healthful stomach, and
when digestion is imperfect it is because
the stomach lacks some Of these ele-
ments and Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
supply it.
They are no cheap cathartic. but a
perfectly safe and efficient digestive
and the demand for them is greater than
the sale of all other so-called dyspepsia
cures combined. No remedy could pcs
sibly reach such place in public esteem
except as a result of positive merit.
Full sized packages are sold bV all
druggists at so cents, and the best habit
you can possibly form is to take a Stuart
Tablet after each meal They make

Tucacas. a seaport town in the State of
Lara, which place is to be attacked on
land by his troops, from the sea by the
Revolutionary steamer Bolivar, also
known as the Libertador
The Venezuelan Government is sending
troops to Eel Hacha to intercept General
Riesa and prevent the junction of his
troops with the Revolutionists in the
Barquisimeto district.
The Revolutionists have cut the cable
to Barcelona, and. consequently, the
Venezuelan Government is without news
from Carupano.
The situation is said to be critical for
President Castro.
The Venezuela feet is not in condition
to pursue the Bolivar, and the plans of
President Castro to capture her have
failed.
General Sturbe, the President Of the
State of Gunare, has been, with his staff,
taken prisoner by the Revolutionists.
