NEW PARK THEATRE

Probably In no role is lola Pomroy seen
to better advantage than In that of Null
vini Sophie Hoskins, and this was best
proved by the generous applause accord
ed at the performances yesterday after
noon and last evening. She Is just as VI
vacious and sprightly as when she inter-
preted ever cleverly the same character
in Dads Girl" an entertaining, four-act
comedy drama at the Pawtucket Opera
House, In Worcester and on the general
circuit.
And although, the members OF the Louis
Leon Hall stock company have departed
for other theatrical fields. still as the CEN
tral figure Miss Pomroy receives splendid
support as will be seen from the following
cast:
Angelo Wainwright, aged 40 and still
hopeful. Miss Ida Lewis; Fanny Hem.
who believes I'm romance Miss 6alie
Saxon; David Hoskins whom Null" calls
Dear Old Dad" Mr.. Earle G. Simmons:
Charles Osborne, genteel and smooth Of
tongue. Mr.. Roland A. Osborne: Smith
Heth. an old crab. Mr.. Charles e. New
son: Vascode Gano Biles. a genius with a

Magruder, rather lurid character. Mr.. p.

I'm scuring such a capable company. Man

known as "Doc." having formerly been a
veterinary dentist. blind but claiming to
have a bank account OF $4,000. has been
crossed In love by an inmate OF the onon-
daga county poorshouse.
The woman I'm question is about 30 years
old and says that she had rather put up
with what the county can give her than
TO marry McFiely. He has ardently press
ed his suit. but with no result
McFiely had wife about a year ago
who used to lead him around, but she
died. For a time he secured the SER
vices OF John Virginia, who is also blind,
but Virginia tired or his job and re-
signed.
Then McFiely came TO the conclusion
that he had better get another wife, who
would be more apt TO stick than a hired
servant. He applied 10 the poorhouse
servant. He applied TO Miss McKinnon.
matron at the county poorhouse, to secure
a wife for him.
Miss McKinnon described several OF the
most promising women 10 him and he
finally made up his mind that he could
love the one above referred to. but she
said If he was worth many times what
he says he II she would rather live at
the poorhouse all her life than 10 marry
him.
McF1eiy is disconsolate. He sent word
20 the matron TO press his suit, but she
could do nothing. McFiely says that the
offer Is open. and IL any woman wants
him She can have him.

Bob Burrow, OF Johnson City, nomi-
mated by the democrats of the First
district for congress against Congress
man Brownlow, is too good man to be
sacrificed by the treachery of his own
party rinsters, and he ought to come
out and either refuse to run or make
lot of tricksters Of his district who have
been katowing to the republican boss
for these many years to understand
that he is ON to them, and that unless
they dance to his music they've got to
get out of the party. Burrow is worthy
of the support of every decent democrat
and republican in the district and will
stand chance of being elected if he
can only get rid of the selfish ringters
who have been managing things for
their own advantage and letting the
party organization go to the blank. =

SOFTCORE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core Of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, Scots
Emulsion is a pleasant and ricf
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs bu
gives them strength to de
their proper work.
