Everybody who attended one or more of
the performances of the Castle Square OPP
era Company last week was impressed with
the unsuaI excellence of the stage manage
ment. Contrary to the customary rule in
presenting grand opera, the waits between
acts were not long. although the stage set
tings were the most elaborate ever seen in
grand opera in Indianapolis. Most Of the
credit for the smoothness of the perform
ances, from a scenic standpoint. must go to

company, who won the admiration of the
stage employees at English's as no other
travelling theatrical mechanic has ever done
before. This man Brown is the king OF

Squares performance of Faust on the
last night of the engagement. His like
never has been seen on this stage before.
The Castle Square company carries more
heavy settings and big drops than any
other organization in America, and to see
all of this endless amount of scenery on
one stage is enough to take the breath
away from the ordinary stage hand But
Mr. Brown goes about his business with
absolute assurance. He never misplaces a
single property: he never becomes confused
in any way; he always has a clear head
and directs his assistants in such a compre-
hensiye manner that no one is at loss what
to do. You have noticed that no two set
tings were used twice during the four OPP
eras presented by the company, every scene
being separate and complete I'm itself. What
makes Mr. Browns management all the
more remarkable is the fact that the many
different settings are not marked, with the
names of the operas to which they belong.
everything is done by numbers, and that
man knows the number OF each piece OF
scenery. of every little property. and never
gets those innumerable numbers mixed in
the least All who witnessed the Castle
Square Companys performances from the
theater's auditorium have had nothing but
praise to bestow upon the magnificent stage
management we who have observed the IN

Portland, July Death last
night ended the agony of pretty
Rosa Gereghino, an Italian girl, at
the Good Samaritan hospital. One
month ago while at play with a
party of companions on dock near
her home, she tripped while run
ming at rapid rate. Falling head
long, she thrust her head with great
violence against her right kneecap.
Her teeth cut deep cash in the
flesh and blood poison set in, from
which, coupled with exhaustion,
the little sufferer succumbed.
This is one of the most peculiar
cases on record in Portland. 1t
was not thought that serious results
would follow the accident, but the
kneejoint began to swell and DIR. g..
F. Wilson was called in to treat the
wound. He at once recognized the
serious aspect and had the patient
removed to the Good Samaritan
hospital. Although the physician
did all in the power of medical ju-
risprudence to save her life, it
could not be done, and last night
death claimed her as victim.

This worthy man has been at the
head of the Methodist church in the
Northwest over 40 years. He had
a double reason to be congratulated
on this occasion as he was totally
deaf for years, and in spite Of his
advanced age, his hearing was re-
stored by DR.. Darrin, now located at
the R we're Hotel. Albany. No one
will attempt TO question the rever-
end gentleman's word. as his un-
blemished record is we'll known.
He tells his story below in his own
words.

concern and encourage, to friends
who have suffered like myself. the
loss of hearing. % April Oath I
called on Dr.. Darrin. whom I be-
lieved to be askilled aurist and ply
sician, to restore nay hearing. He
applied his remedies and electricity
to one ear and cured the deafness
in few minutes. Then he turned
his attention to the other ear, which
did not seem to yield SO readily.
For this ear the doctor gave me
medicine to use at home, which I
am now using. I think it the duty
of all who are afflicted to have their
hearing restored if possible, and l
know of no one whom I think more
skilled than DIR. Darrin.

REV. DIR. DOANE.
To the Editor of the Herald:
Some time ago I said something of
regaining nay hearing under the
treatment of DIR. Dsrrin, of which I
had suffered for several years. On
the first application the deafness Of
one ear was remedied. I applied
thesmedicine faithfully and went
again to the doctor who succeeded
entirely in restoring the lost sense
of hearing, SO that when I went out
on the street it seemed to be the
noiseet city / was ever in. My
hearing still remains distinct, In
both ears equally good.
