What The Earth Produces.

The earth has nourished us through uu-
known ages of human existence. IL IL not
true that the earth supplies us with every
thing that we really require for existence
Have you ever thought that II is probable
that the earth supplies US with the means
to keep our bodily vigor our health, IL we
only knew itl The animals know by in
stinct what is good for them and will search
until they find in some plant what they
need for correcting indigestion or constipa-
ton, etc. Is IT, therefore, not possible that
there are roots and herbs supplied by nature
which will cure the diseases that affiict
human kind That is why DIR. Pierce, of
Buffalo, N Y, has such faith in his Med
ical Discovery" Years ago, when he was
in general and active practice, he found
that a combination of certain herbs and
roots made into an Alternative extract, with
out the use of alcohol, would always put
the stomach into a healthy condition, nour-
ish the tissues, feed the blood and nerves
and put healthy tone into the whole
system.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
restores the lost flesh by curing diseases OF
the stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition and enabling the perfect di-
gestion and assimilation of food from which
flesh and strength are made.
~ was all run down, very nervous, and SUI
fered terribly from stomach trouble, which the
doctors pronounced indigestion" writes Mrs.
VIM. Morey, Of Marshall, Mich. 81 doctored

vised by friend TO try Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery, and after the use of nine bottles
i was cured. / can heartily recommend the

in Her Own Way" is meeting with as much success as Mr. Goodwin. their bus mess separation can financially be called a wise one. Regarding their personal at tachments, the following is vouched for:
 Miss Elliott was giving dinner to some friends, among them certain mem- Der of the English nobility who was on visit to this country last summer. Af- ter dining, and while the gentlemen were on their way to MT. Goodwins den, to discuss bis Perfectos, this lady remarked
 T do not know what you see in him. Maxine" pointing to the genial N. c. I cannot comprehend how you ever came to marry him"
 Mrs Goodwin, who had taken in every word slowly arose from her chair, and standing there in tho midst of her guests -she never looked more queenly-an- swered:

even more charming. if possible. than the younger heroines, with whom this star has been heretofore associated In the minds Of the theatregoing public.
 The lines are witty always, epigram- matic often; most of these eplgrammatie speeches are allotted to Miss Barrymore and delivered by her in her inimitable way. The comedy vein Is strong and In the development of the plot of the play, runs a love story of an absorbing inter- est. With all the praise that has been layished on the play and star, most has gone to a love scene in the second act between Miss Barrymore, as Kate Curtis and Bruce McRae. as Heath Desmond All the scenes of this comedy are laid in one rural neighborhood in England the characters are sharply drawn, and 1t might on the whole be better character ized as a love idyu, than by the teehni- cal description of three-act comedy. With this play Ethel Barrymore was chosen by Charles Frohman to open his Hudson theatre in New York city, and his judgment was so well supported by the critics and public. Miss Barrymore was pronounced to have achieved in the title role of this play the greatest suc- cess of her stage career, and crowned the Hudson theatre to it's utmost capacity at every performance of her engagement. In the cast are such well known names as Bruce MeRae. Grant Stewart, Harold Grau, Annie Adams, Beatrice Agnew and Georgie Mendum.

 Quite a variety of plays will be present. cd at the local theatres this week. A theatre goer can sec anything from the love idyll. Cousin aKte," to the most sensational melodrama, At Cripple Creek" and between them are to be found two musical comedies, straight comedy and a comedy drama. The last four are "The Runaways," ''The Chape- rons," "A Friend of the Family and Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall It Is quite a coincidence that "The Runaways" should be followed so closely by "The Chaperons."
 In the role of Kate Curtis in Cousin Kate" Miss Barrymore has character which is almost new to the stage It is that of the young oldmaid, character in actual life which has only come into existence in recent years. She is young woman who has become prominent through her cynical novels, and her epi- gramatic sayings cause much of the com edy of the piece Although it is new here, Miss Barrymore would hardly be in it were 1t not good play. She is always good.
 "The Runaways' is a new musical comedy, and contains several musical numbers which are already known here. The leading part, that of General Hard tack. is reputed to be very funny. The Chaperons'' is also said to contain much pretty music, one of the numbers being We Are All Good Fellows" which is sung by male chorus and which has been adopted at Yale. There is little plot to the comedy opera-merely a story with sufficient interest to hold the specialties together.
 Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall" an- other of the book plays, will give Miss Galland an excellent opportunity in the ttle role She will be remembered as

"The RunnaWaYs. :"

The Runaways" comes to the Jeffer- son theatre next Wednesday evening" Promise is made that The Runaways" will be presented on large scale.
 The story of "The Runaways' was written by Addison Burkhardt, while the music is by a young composer, Raymond Hubbell. The story of "The Runawaysp begins on an American race track and Is ended on the Island of Table dHote, in the Southern Pacific Its hero is one General Hardtack. U. s. A., a reformed waiter who has dyspepsia At the race track he meets a much married soubreete, whom he promises to marry and to take away to a wonderful island of the south ern seas if his horse wins the race, esd thereby the necessary money.
 The william enters in the shape of two patent medicine men who try to drug the generals horse. They are outwitted by the reprobato son who wins the race for his father, and thereby the old mans af- lection and the permission to go with him to the island. The two medicine men are vengeful. and pursue their enemy to the Island Table d'Hote, where in dis guise, they become the genrars physiei- ans Thy try to kill him by filling his mouth with food every time he opens 1t. The islanders proclaim the general their king and try to make him marry the six wives left by his predecessor. He re- fuses and demands his soubretto as wife. The natives are about to roast him for disobeying the customs when an Ameri- can warship hoves in sight, and saves the day and the curtani falls.

"The Chaperons."

The tuneful "Chaperons' is coming to the Jefferson theatre next Thursday mati nee and night. This comedy opera has survived two seasons in the leading cities and enjoyed a long run in New York. Foremost in the cast will be seen John G. Sparks, Mabel IIte. Thomas Whiffen, May Boley, w. V. Strung, Mae Stebbins, Arthur Earnest, Oscar Ragland and Carl Hartberg. There is chorus of forty and a coterie of show girls.
 The story of 'The Chaperons' is sim ply an episode-a search for the missing seal of a will. On this idea the characters are developed and manipulated: the comic situations are numerous and effective, and laughter is almost continuous from the beginning to the conclusion of the performance. The piece abounds in origi- nal musical numbers and there are no less than twenty-two vocal compositions
 One of the most attractive and "catchy" songs in "The Chaperons is Were All Good Fellows" This song. in which the baritone Arthur Earnest has his finest opportunity, first attracted attention the opening week of the college year at New Haven, whe the Yale boys occupied al- most the entire parquet during the two performances of The Chaperons'' in that city. The song made such a hit with Old Eli fellows that they left the theatre played the audience out. Since then the song was played at the Yale bi-centennial by a band of fifty pieces and the boys

be signed in New York this week. It will be remembered that Miss Elliott achieved her first great slseess in Aus tarlia several seasons ago.
 Ezra Kendall visited Indianapolis seven- teen times in fourteen months to induce James Whitcomb Riley to write play for him, but the poet was always firm in his declaration that he could not do 1t. The comedian offered Riley $5,O0O0O down as an advance and a further guarantee that his royalties would amount to $2O>- 00OC0 or more within two years. Not even that tempted him to change his mind. If Riley has accepted Kendalls s offer his royalties for the past five weeks alone would have amounted to $2,OOO.OO at the-rate of 5 per cent of the gross re- ceipts which is the ordinary pay of the successful playwright.
 Last spring MT. Kendall made a final attempt by visiting Indianapolis and spending a week there, but was met with Riley's refusal and a firm and decided decision that under no circumstances would he consent to write a play. The conversation between the poet and the actor drifted to some of the curious old Indian characters MT. Riley had celebrat- ed. Did you ever read my poem of Jap Miller?" he asked Kendall. Kendall never

"Rertha GaIlan."

The Elizabethan age Is depicted in "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall," and surrounding Bertha Gallan in the title role, are just such grande danes and court gallants as Shakespeare sketched from life, including the vain, vigorous, vndictlve Virgin Queen herself, and her ill-fated cousin and rival, Mary, Queen of Scots.
 Charles Major, in his original novel, sketched these historic characters not from the heroic portraits which partial biographers have drawn of them, but from various curious records of their real lives and characters; while Paul Kester has emphasized the human side of these great folks, with frequent comedy effect. The result is a realistic reproduc- tion of life and manners in the Golden Age of England, in which humor and heroics are mingled. "Good Queen Bess'
 Is seen, not only in her royal robes, but in some of her royal tempers. which proved her true daughter of her testy father King Henry VIII. In this role Miss Adaleuick has an eccentric char acter Mistress Dorothy, herself, is d-haired, self -wiled young woman, with the true Vernon temper, which was lt- tie less celebrated than that of the Tu- dors Kate Denim Wilson has the role of one of those fussy, talkative old dowagers; while Miss Mary Bacon, a Philadelphia debutante who made such a success last spring as Frou Frou, plays the maid, Jennie Faxon. Then there is the tyran- nical yet tender-hearted father of Dor othy, impersonated by Frank Losee; her crafty cousin, Sir Malcolm, a role in which Sheridan Block is right at home, A. Law Kisiko as the stately Lord Burleigh, Elizabeth's right-hand man, Carl An thony as the Earl of Rutland and Will liam Levers, last season leading man with Julia Marlowe in "rhe Cavalier" in the heroic role of Sir John Manners Dor othy's successful suitor in real and play life. The original production from New York will be seen at the Jefferson the atre for one performance, Friday night, March II.

At the Bljou.

The Bijou management will offer it's patrons this week a sensational melo- drama, entitled "At Cripple Creek"
 Of all the plays that have been given to the stage by Hal Reid, none possess the power of appealing to the emotions in so high a degree as does "At Cripple Creek"
 The locality affords splendid dramatic and scenic possibilities, and that MT. Reid took full advantage of these was evil denced by the reception of his play. The first act shows the interior of Martin Mason's den, known as "The Temple of David" The second shows the exterior of Joe Mayfield's cabin at Rift Canyon; the third shows the depths of the Last Dollar" mine and the last act occurs in Joe Mayfields new home upon the day of hs marriage to Belle Gordon.
 Martin Mason, the leader of a desperate gang of outlaws, furnishes the villany of the piece. Among his schemes Is the turing of innocent girls to his infamous den He also attempts to wrest from Joe Mayfield the Hast Dollar claim. but Mason is thwarted in this plot by "Dyna- mite Ann" one of his former victims, who is aided by Joe Mayfield and the Indian, Waketah.
 Mason's attempt aided by a Mexican ''bad man." Manuel Alvarez. to kill Little Tatto in the second act and the death trap in the third act furnishes some of the most striking incidents of the play. The comedy element has not been ne- glected in ''At Cripple Creek and speeta- tors of 1t will be treated to a graphic and true-to-nature glimpses of life in the mining region of Colorado during the eighties.
 "At Cripple Creek will be presented every night this week. except Saturday night with the usual matinees Tuesday Thursday and Saturday.

 It has been published throughout the country that Patti bought for her fare we'll American tour an elaborate dress for each concert, not wearing the same dress twice during her tour. When she did not appear in Birmingham on the date first announced there was a sigh of re- gret from the women not only in Bir- mingham but from all the surrounding cities, because as they thought, the op- portunity would be denied them.
 The announcement that the great diva will certainly appear at the Bijou on Saturday night, March 19. will cause more than ordinary pleasure to the women for the reason that they are not only to hear the greatest prima-donna the world has ever produced, but they will also see the Birmingham dress made for Patti in Paris, which up to this time has not even been unpacked.
 It is a matter of speculation whether there are any ornaments or idea of de- sign about the dress that will associate 1t with the peculiar cline and conditions that surrounds the great coal and iron centre of the south

"A Friend of the FamIIy.p

Patrons of the Jefferson theatre are looking forward with pleasant antleipa- tions to the engagement here next Satur- day matinee and night of w. E. Cor mans farcial comedy sensation. "A Friend of the Family" The company, which is a large and clever one, was de- clared by all who witnessed the perfor- nance a few weeks ago to give one of the brightest and most enjoyable enter tainments seen here this season. The play itself is undoubtedly funny, and the artists presenting 1t take advantage of every funny line and situation. The dia- Iogue is of the bright crispy sort which keeps the audience laughing from the rise of the first curtain until the fall of the final one.
