THEATRICAL.

The newest and surprising melo-
drama that has been creating "a per
feet furor this season wherever pre-
sented, will be- seen in this city at the
Opera House tonight. Mr. Charles
Townsend, the noted dramatist, has
woven together one of the most inter
esting and delightful pure stories of
noteworthy scenes aud incidents, be-
fore. during and after the great food
OF 1899. The play is a decided depar-
ture from anything that has ever been
presented in this city. The story is
consistently told, the comedy is ire
sistible, the psthos and sentiment blend
we'll together, and vein of strong
sensational and dramatic action is
brought to tho surface, that holds the
auditor until the fall of the curtain.
The scenery and electrical effects,
which are carried, complete, are mag
niticont, and the mechanical effects,
particularly the great flood scene. is a
perfect revelation in stage mechanism.
4 large, capable company of players
interpret the characters.

A TRINITY Of EVILS.
Cured by Cal l-cura Solvent, the Great New
Medicine, After Other Treatment Had Failed.
Your Money Back Il Il Does Not Cure.

Mr. Martin Montgomery, OF Silvara, Pa. i,
formerly of Ro1bury, N. Y, writing to Dt.
David Kennedy, Of Kennedy Row, said:
Your ne,o medicine, Cal-cura Solvent,
is wonderful. 1t cured me of liver and kid
ney troubles, and rheumatism, after lot OF
weary dosing with things that did no good.
1t Is "a record breaker and no mistake"
As in Mr.. Montgomery's case, rheuma-
tism is often, indeed almost always, com
phcated with kidney and liver trouble.
1t Is because Cal-cura Solvent acts on the
kidneys aud liver and at the same time eI-
pels uric acid from the blood, that it is such
a reliable remedy for rheumatism and the
attendant disorders. 1t cures by removing
the cause, therefore the cure is permanent,
safe and sure.
If your druggist does not have Cal-cura
Solvent, write to the Cal-cura Company,
Boudout, NY; but ask your druggist first
s 90 bottle. Only one size.
Guarantee: Your druggist will return
your money if Cal-curs fails to cure, and
The Cal-cura Company will pay the drug
Gi-t. Remember, Cal-cura Solvent cures
$50 of all cases Of Kidney, Bladder and
Liver disorders.

ELDEST BOY WILL
LEAD THE WAY

DANEEMORA, n. Y, Sept 30
Warden Deyo displayed his sympathy
for the distracted foster mother Of the
condemned Van Wormcr boys in
most practical manner, even though
he could not grant her request for
q final interview This denial she
very reasonably conceded TO be for the
best, aud her greatest distress appear
ed to be in the fact of her inability to
convey the bodies to her home town
of Kinder Hook for burial. She pite-
ously appealed to Warden Deyo to
know if there were not some fund
from which the State could meet the
expenses He assured her that there
was none. bat promptly added that he
thought the matter could be arranged.
He tbereupon produced his purse and
handed her a generous contribution to
which Rev. Father Belangcr promptly
added They will undoubtedly see
that the remains will be shipped to
the bereaved mothers home.
Mrs. Van Wormer was anxious to
know what kind of caskets would be
provided and Warden Deyo told her
that they would be the best the prison
could afford, as there is no undertak
ing establishment here.
"Oh, am so grateful to you for
what you have done for me, " the
mother sobbed, land thank you from
the bottom of my heart l haven't
much more to live for now and | do
so want them to have Christian
burial.
The preparations for the electrOcution
are progressing i'll satisfactory way.
Each of them naturally wishes to be
the first to meet death in the chair.
Burton, the second in age, has declar-
ed his willingness to submit to any
arrangement which the other two may
make. No definite arrangement as to
who shall make the fatal march fist
has been made.
Present indications seem to point to
Willis, the oldest, as the weakest III
heart and nerve. He alone has made
no expression as to his preference in
his future fate. Fred, the youngest,
has repeatedly said that he would
rather 90 to the chair than end his
life in prison. Burton has emphatioal-
ly declared his preference for the life
term.
Since their conversion to the Roman
Catholic faith Father Bclanger has
been with them great deal of the
time aud III his ministry the boys havo
found the greatest comfort That their
professions are sincere, Father Bel
anger, Warden Deyo and all who have
listened to their interviews with the
priests are convinced. He will attend
them TO the last moment and at thair
own request will administer their first
and last communion during the NOM
ing hours before the execution.
