Tendency Of the Times.

The tendency OF medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought OF the world is being
given to the subject. II is easier and
better to prevent than to cure. It has
been fully demonstrated that pneumo-
MIA, one of the most dangerous dis
eases that medical men have to con-
tend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a cold
or from an attack of influenza (grip),
and II has been observed that this rem
edy counteracts any tendency of these
diseases toward pneumonia. This has
been fully proven in many thousands
of cases IN which this remedy has been
used during the great prevalence Of
colds and grip in recent years, and
can be relied upon with implicit con-
fidence. Pneumonia often results
from a slight cold when no danger is
apprehended until II Is suddenly dis
covered that there Is fever and din.
Guilty in breathing and pains in the
chest, then IL is announced that the
patient has pneumonia. BE on the
safe side and take Chamberlain s
Cough remedy as soon as the cold is
contracted. 1t always cures. For sale

The Marie Cahill School of Acting.

Miss Marie Cahill, who appears at the CO.
lumbia Theater next Monday night in the
musical comedy success Nancy Brown"
has established a new school of acting.
which she calls quiet comedy in contra
distinction to the horse play. comedy that
is growing tiresome.
Miss Cahill never grows strenuous in at
tempting To gain a laugh If her work does
not amuse her audiences. she makes no eff
fort to gain her effects by buffoonery, but
simply cuts out the lines which do not ap-
peal.
when find 1t necessary" she said in
recent interview, Ito resort to buck-and-
wing dancing, exaggerated gesticuation
and facial acrobatiCS to obtain laugh,
then l shall retire from the stage. l be-
Heve IN natural acting. l think an intelli-
gent audience wishes to see a woman act
like a woman and not like an inmate of an
insane asylum.
Il like the people Of Washington because
they like natural work on the stage. They
readily extend their sympathy to an arts
tic effort, and so it is pleasing to play be
fore them. They quickly understand what
one means by tiny gesture, and it is not
necessary to eXaggerate in order to project
one intention across the footlghts.

Schooner Battered by Gale.

The four-masted schooner Independent
Capt. Wills L. Case, for whose safety some
fears were expressed, came into port We'd
nesday night in TOW of the tug VIM. H.
Yerkes, jr., in a battered condition, show
ing the hammering she received from the
seas in the recent heavy gale. The schooner
sailed from Bath. Me, for this city with
cargo of ice October 3, and off Winter Shoal
Quarter light. October s. she ran into the
gale. Her fore and miZZen sails and glib
were blown to pieces, and other damage
was done the vessel. An effort was made
to ride out the gale, and a heavy anchor,
with 175 fathoms of chain. was put over
board. This held, but to prevent collision
with a large four masted schooner which
was drifting down, the Independent had to
slip and loose anchor and chain and run
before the gale. Off Hog Island light the
starboard anchor was put overheard, but
did not hold and the schooner drifted down
the coast until about five miles off shore
abreast of Currituck light, the anchor found
good holding ground and there the schooner
rode out the storm in safety.
For three days the storm continued. and
when it broke the schooner got under way
and came in the capes of the Chesapeake
Tuesday. The officers of the schooner say
1t was the hardest gale they had ever seen
in all their long experience at sea.
