Indigestion Causes
Catarrh of the
Stomach.

For many years It has been supposed that
catarrh Of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
psated attacks of indigestion inflames the
MUCOUS membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves Of the stomach, thus caus-
ng the glands to secrete mucin instead of
hs juices of natural digestion. This 10
called Catarrh of the Stomach.

lamentable death of Raymond Settler

to the sorrow that has been thrust upon

cal week is Mahara's Minstrels, known
from Maine to California. The perform
ance scintilates with originality that has
made this company popular. The COM
pany comprises number of the leading
colored artists, both ladies and gentlemen,
known to lovers of minstrelsy. There is
not white face in its ranks. although in
its chorus there are a dozen young wo-
men who it will be difficult to distinguish
from their lighter sisters. is con-
sidered a new departure in minstrelsy by
manager Mahara, who also promises
many more novel surprises which will be
seen for the first time in this city. The
costumes and scenery are entirely new.

The Breckenridge Stock company closed
their engagement at the Crawford last
night in a southern play, Down Where
the Cotton Blossoms Grow" This play
was something out OF the ordinary for

with his murderous plots, or the woman
who has been betrayed, and the other
things which repertoire companies per
formances abound with. Mr. Breckin-
ridge again made himself a favorite with
the audience as the Yankee lawyer and
received deserved applause. The remain

Of trouble remembering their lines and
repeated SO many times that one would
imagine they were seeing the same show

have tired out, as the speciallies were IN
some way overlooked.

No offering of this season to the Arneri-
can public interested in things literary,
approaches in Importance the American
tour of this most distinguished of Irish
Story Teliers.
The rich treasures of Irish literary
effort are just being discovered after
centuries of suppression. 1t needs no
specialist to foretell how valuable these
treasures will be since the exhibit already
made shows so well and favorably.
No man has done more than Seumas
McManus in this work of love He is
almost a discoverer Walter Lecky. the
literary critic. says OF him:
Those who win understand the Irish
love as it is embodied in the ferveut
peasant lyrics OF Kickam, Casey, etc.
can find it in all its fuIlness among the
Donegal peasantry And it Is to catch
this landscape, to portray this peasantry,
that the author of Through the Turf
Smoke has consecrated his pen. !dr.
McManus has sprung from the loins OF
those whom he depicts; he is a son OF
the soil, a Celt with all the dreams of
his race, with all the tales and tradi-
tons OF that race ever in his brain, and
if there is a part of Ireland where those
tales and traditions are living force
1t is IN sequestered Donegal, where for
centuries wandering minstrels and gray
headed sires have bequeathed them to
wandering. quick. imaginative Celtic
children as n birthright to be handed
down with faith and nationality. And
SO this child of his race. this dreamer of
dreams, opens his show. and there is an
audience to greet him, not only In his re-
mote Taountain-barred Donegal, but that
greater Ireland. exiled Ireland, the Ire
land they speak of as beyond the seas,
whose characteristics are unchanged by
time and foreign lands. And the novelist
is. not Indifferent to this audience. for the
dream of his life has been to reach it,
to write books that the exile might read
by his fireside to his children; books
wherein rose the characteristics. of their
race. presented in living men and wo-
men, This has been the dream Of Mr..
McManus The dream is today a reality"
The above speaks for itself and shows
what place Mr. McManus holds in the
literary world. Mr.. McManus will APP
