The demand for seats for Miss Marie Cahill,

at the Columbia Theater. indicates one Of the
greatest theatrical engagements this city has
ever witnessed
Many inquiries and requests for seats az the
Thursday matinee have been received, but there
will be no THURSDAY afternoon performance on
account of Miss Cahill's rule 70 play only one
matinee a week. This regulation made
necessary on account Of the stars highly strung
temperament. In addition to singing seven So
los which are invariably encored a number
Of times Miss Cahill bears the vocal burden
o. two heavy inales
Like most great artists she possesses ner-
vous disposition, and any extra. effort is likely
TO affect her work for week thereafter. Ow-
ing 10 thc great demand for seats during Miss
Cahl's extended Boston engagement, at the
beginning Of the present season, she made an
attempt TO give a Wednesday matinee at the
request Of number OF her admirers, who were
unable to secure seats for the other perform
snccs.
The strain upon her resulting from this ad-
ditiOnal effort. however, proved 50 disastrous
that she was threatened with an attack 81
nervous prostitution, and was forced TO sum
marily cancel the Wednesday matinee which
had been scheduled for the following week.
There il only person in the world tor
whom Miss Cahin will make an extra effort,
icopardizing her health. and that IS her mother.
Mrs. Cahill is nearly sixty years cid and makes

Erneriment In a Restaurant

Interesting Experiment I'm a Restaurants
An advertising agent. representing a
prominent New York magazine. while
On a recent Western "trip. was dining
one evening in a Pittsburg restaurant.
While waiting for HIS order he glanced
over his newspaper and noticed the adj
vertisement Of a well known dyspepsia
preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets;
as he himself was a regular user Of the
tablets. he began specializing as 10 how
many OF the other travelling men IN
the dining room were also friends Of the
popular remedy for indigestion.
He says: / counted twcnty-three men
at the tablets and in the hotel Office
took the trouble 10 Interview them and
was surprised to learn that nine Of the
twenty-three made a practice Of taking
one or two Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets after each meal.
One Of them told me he had suffered
so much from stomach trouble that at
one time he mad been obliged TO quit the
road. but since using Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets had been entirely free from
indigestion. but ne continued their use,
especially while travelling. on account Of
irregularity in meals and because Ike
all travelling men he was often obliged
10 eat what lie couiu ktt GilL AoN al
ways what he wanted.
Another. who looked the picture OF
health said he never ate a meal with
out taking Stuart Tablet afterward be-
cause he could eat what he pleased and
when he pleased without fear OF a sleep
less night or any other trouble.
Still another used them because he
was subject TO gas on stomach. caus-
ing pressure on heart and lungs. short
ness of breath and distress in chest.
which he no longer experienced since
using the tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets was the only safe remedy
he had ever found for sour stomach and
acidity. He had formerly used common
soda 10 relieve the trouble but the tab
lets were much better and safer 10
