THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Fewb People Know How Useful 1t Is In
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfec- tant and purifier in nature, but few realize it's value when taken into the hu- man system for the same cleansing pur- pose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; it is not drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out or the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion; it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels: 1t dis- infects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All. druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal and other harmless antisep- ties in tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges. the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health. better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood. and the beauty of it is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal. says: "I advise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa. tients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels. and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; l also believe the liver is greatly bene- fted by the daily use of them: they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores. and although in some sense pat ent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets

commissioners decided that there were times when an organ was a nuisance. and placed that matter in Chief Ryan's hands, as previously stated. Naturally, the chief will have to hear the music before he can decide the question, and consequently concerts may be looked for daily at the police station. An organ grinder com plained of as a nuisance will. presumably. be hauled to the police station and there Chief Ryan will give him, or his organ, a hearing If the culprit plays "Why Did They Sell Killarney?' or something of that sort. he will probably stand fairly good show of having his efforts considered music. but if he ever strikes up lila watha" or similar selections he will in all probability be adjudged nuisance on the spot and be locked up in the dungeon.

teenth century by Louis N. Parker ana
 Murray Carson, than whom no authors have provided a greater success Tor New York theatergoers. Very few cities out side of New York have been afforded an opportunity to see Rosemary" in which both John Drew and Maude Adams scored
 substantial successes. MT. Kyle's pre-
 sentiment is similar in every particular Of scenic equipment and effects to the Elm pire theater production.
 Briefly, the story of Rosemary" con
 cerns the love of Sir Jasper Thorndyke,
 bachelor of 40. for Dorothy Cruick-
 shank the daughter of an old sea captain,
 who has eloped with one William Vest
 wood, an ensign in the East Indian ser
 vice. The eloping couple havfng met with an accident are invited to spend the night in Sir Jasper's house, where Captain and Mrs. Cruickshank are also Invited, nav ing met with a similar accident at about the same place. Next morning, the day on which Queen Victoria is to be crown- ed Captain Cruiekshank finds his daugh- ter and her fance, but Sir Jasper's di- plomacy wins the fathers consent to the
 marriage of the young couple. Meanwhile Sir Jasper, who has fallen desperately
 in love with Dorothy, Invites the party
 to London to witnes the coronation. Ar
 rived in London his love is disclosed to
 Dorothy, who gives him a leaf from her
 diary and a sprig of rosemary, that's for remembrance"
 Prof. Jogran, life long friend of Sir
 Jasper. shows the latter his duty toward the young couple and the curtain falls
 on disappointed bachelor twice deprived
 of the girl he loves. Fifty years elapse between the third and fourth acts. Sir
 Jasper, a man of 90 is again in London; the little room Is old, the panels crumb- ling and musty air pervades the place. The queens jubilee is Tn progress and the din and noise outside are not unlike
 that of fifty years ago during the cor
 onation. Sir Jasper accidentally breaks
 a panel and discovers bit of paper and
 bit of rosemary. The paper proves to
 be the leaf of a diary on which he is barely able to discern the happenings of fifty years ago; the sprig of rosemary recalls the young glrI, now dead, the ride to London, the elopement and the denouement Sir Jasper sells the old London house and returns to his country home.
 As Sir Jasper Thorndyke Mir. Kyle has A role admirably suited to his capa- | biIities. In Helen Prindevilie, a young | woman of IS years, Mir. Kyle has the | youngest leading woman on the Amer | ican stage and an actress of sterling | qualities. Miss Prindeville played the | role of Tirza in "Ben Hur'' for two sea- sons. The balance of the cast includes such well known players as Frederick weber. George Gaston, Henry Booker, Norman Macdonald, Alfred Conibear. Louis Ellsner, Edna Ewen and Margaret l Hardy.

CENSOR OF HAND ORGANS.
Hartford's Police Board Calls Upon Chief Ryan to Say What Is Music.

From the Hartford Post.
 Chief of Police Ryan has been declared by the board of police commissioners to be the city's musical censor, and 1t will be up to him in the future to decide when a street organ is an instrument dis seminating harmony and when it is nuisance. There are people who hold that a street organ is at all times a nuisance and at no time disseminates sweet har- mony, but the commissioners came to the conclusion that they did have rights on the street, and they put 1t up to Chief Ryan to decide when they exceed those rights.
 The matter came up in the form of a complaint from C. r. Sweet, dealer in oils. who wrote that one of the organs ground out distressing strains near his place of business for over an hour, and that when he remonstrated the grinder told him to go to that locality where or gan grinders have been mentally consign- ed by thousands ever since they first came into existence. Mir. Sweet went to the police station instead, but was unable to obtain satisfaction.
 After considering this complaint the

incorporated is the title of the concern, which means that there Is a substantial backing to the tour, probably exceeding in solidity and standing anything that has ever served to assist an artistic un- dertaking in this country. Tre gentle men connected with the company are of high financial responsibility in the com munty and thus is taken away from the engagement any of those elements of uncertainty that are only too frequently found in promotings of this sort.
 Messrs shubert and Nixon and Zim- merman have outfianked all predecessors and followers in the presentation of the beautiful musical comedy hit. "A Chinese Honeymoon" A production that can cover a period of 425 consecutive perform ances in New York, 100 nights in Boston and Chicaco each, certainly does not have to go on reaching hunt for com ment, not forgetting its run of three years in London.
 "Sherlock Holmes," the dramatic suc- cess employed by MT. Herbert Kelcey and Miss Fife Shannon for this season Is being presented on every continent of the globe.
 Two companies in England, one in Soutn A1rlca, one oOlnB the drama m India and the English settlements of China and Tenang peninsula. It fas been translated into French and Is now touring the interior departments of that republic. Germany and Denmark have not been overlooked as it has been pro- duced there with considerable success. This record for a drama has never been equalled, with the possible exception of Uncle Toms Cabin"
 ''The Millionaire" is considered as hand some a production as Messrs. Klaw & Erlaneer have ever made, and that Is saying a great deal when one remembers their many productions including "The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast" Ben Hur," "Blue Beard" and the many pre- sentations made for the Roger Brothers. The chorus Is notably pretty and well gowned. The same production and com pany as was seen in New York last sea- son during it's successful run of sixteen weeks at Dalys theater will be brought to this city intact for its coming engage ment.

Helen Prindeville, who interprets the role of Dorothy in Howard Kyle's pre- sentiment of Rosemary" which comes to the Jefferson theater Friday night, is the youngest leading woman on the American stage. Considerable interest was attach ed to her first appearance in a profess sional capacity, which occurred some ten years ago, by the presence of the late Mir Gladstone, who happened to be guest at one of the London drawing room receptions.
 Miss Prindeville's mother was at that time the London correspondent for sev- eral American newspapers and at the urgent request of some of her friends per mitted her daughter to give recitals at

Paul Gilmore.

Last season Paul Gilmore made a success in "The Tyranny of Tears" This season he has scored triumph in ''The Mummy and the Running Bird" Paul Gilmore is a unique figure on the Amer can stage. He combines the qualities so essential to being a popular favoriate in the greatest degree. Good looks, mag netism, artistic finesse, both in percep- tion and in execution, a magnificent well modulated voice and that manly quality which is so potential ar attraction for women. He is, what many are only said to be, matinee idol.
 In "The Mummy and the Running Bird his manager, Jules Murry has given Mir Gilmore a vehicle calculated to show off all this actors good qualities to the best possible advantage. Lord Lumley, the Mummy of the play, Is such a loveable character that even a less cap- able artist would be admired in the part. Sweet gentle. loving. lovable, such is Jack" His wit, like Mercutio's, Is bub- bling, and no matter how serious the sit- uation the Mummy tempers all his trials with the delightful wit cy his nature.
 What foil the Running Bird is for the Mummy. What a right hand bower the Italian organ grinder becomes in the hands of Lord Lumley How penitent Lady Lumley grows when she becomes cognizant of the real worth of her hus- band, and how she despises the sinister spirit of the evil genius of the play. The play will be here on next Thursday mat inee and night at the Jefferson theater.
