JAMES T. FARRELL. DEAD.
Brother of Dr John Farrell of This
 City

Brother of Dr John Farrell of This
 City.
 A particularly sad death occurred this morning. says the New Britain Herald. at 3 80 o'clock. at the residence of James Farrell. 94 Lafayette street, when his son, James J., passed away, after a few hours illness. The young man was in Hartford yesterday with Peter McCabe: they ate heartily while there and the drive home in the cold air, of the evening sharpened their ap- petite still more. When they reached here they had lunch and MT Farrell went home. He occupied the room with his fathGx and when he turned in for the night he was in his usual ex- cellent health. About 1 o'clock his father was awakened by his sons moaning and upon rising he found him in convlllsions. Two physicians were at once summoned but before they ar rived the young man had yoiniti'g z spell and had another soon after they began work on him. The doctors re- mained for some time and had been so successful in cleaning out the patients stomach that they felt that their lahors would result in his recovery. At 3:3O o'clock. however. the young man sud denly collapsed and died. Medical Elk amiller Wright investigated the case this morning and gave as the cause of death congestion of the brain and acute indigestion as the contributing cause.
 James I. Farrell was born In New Britain "A years ago last Friday. He was a young man of fine character, agreeable disposition and very popular with his friends and acquaintances. There are six other children in the fam ilv Mrs E. NJ. Holden. Miss Molly Far reIl. pr John Farrell. Edward Y. Far rell. n medical student in New York. William Farrell and Harry Farrell, who Is the youngest of the children.
 The funeral will take place Wednes- day morning.

 Not satisfied with viewing the build- ings and gardens from the railroad tracks, many of the party insisted on walking through the grounds and view ing the stately editices more closely. After the buildings were inspected the guests of the exposition were enters' tained with a luncheon in the admin istfation building.

TALES OF THEATRE

A book, to be presented upon the
stage exactly as written, would take
as long to produce as it does to read
it. The work of the dramatist is
therefore difficult one, and unless
his skill be great in the changing of
details of time and place and in the
cutting out of that which will not in
terest and in the building up of that
which is bound to please, his play is
liable to be a disappointment to the
readers who have made close study
of the original story. Charles w.
Chase, who has made the dramatic
version of Marie Corelli's ''Thelma,"
is said to have been unusually sue
cessful in this play and to have given
to the stage an exceedingly pretty
plot.
OF all Miss Corellis famous novels,
''Thelma" has for. many years been
the most popular with her American.
readers. 1t is not a tale of ordinary
fiction, but story of genuine heart
interest, of love. devotion, suffering
and happiness told by one of the
greatest wortl-painters of the present
day. Norway, called in the summer
time THE Land of the Midnight SUM-
and during the winter ''The Land of
the Long Shadow" with its magnifi-
cent scenery and its quaint people,
many of whom still believe in the old
Morse mythology and follow the
teachings of Odin and Thor, afforded
her an excellent opportunity to break
away from the hackneyed style and
localities of the majority of modern
tales and the result was an original
creation of novelty and beauty.
The same may be said of the play.
1t is totally unlike any other drama
now being produced on the stage.
The first, second and last acts are all
laid in northern Norway. and the Gus
toms and habits of the people who
live there have never before been
made the subjects of drama. The

the alien Ford. shown i'm the first

"When l had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) actual
ly cured myself with one bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy" says
Frank w. Perry, editor of the Enter
prise, Shortsville, n. Y. This is the
honest truth. I at times kept from
coughing myself to pieces by taking
a teaspoonful of this remedy, and
when the coughing spell would come
on at night i would take a dose and
it seemed that in the briefest inter-
val the cough would pass off and /
would GO to sleep perfectly free from
cough and it's accompanying pains.
To say that the remedy acted as a
most agreeable surprise is putting it
very mildly. 1 had no idea that 1T
would or could knock out the grip,
simply because / had never tried 1t
for such purpose, but it did, and it
seemed with the second attack OF
coughing the remedy caused it to not
only be of less duration, but the pains
were far less severe, and had not
used the contents of one bottle before
Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale
