Silent Sufferers.

Modest Women Suffer in Silence Rather
 Than Consult Q Physician.
 A sense, of modesty frequently prevents women who are really sick and suffering from seeking the aid of a physician. They do not even care to consult their family doctor They knew that they are sick: that their periods are painful: that in all troubles. or that they have those dragging pains which always point to proiapsus or falling of the womb. They know they need help, yet do not know how to obtain it.
 To all such speak In candor and in honesty. c. F. P. (Gerstle's Female Pana- cea) will positively cure all such conditions. no matter of how long standing or how stubborn
 This is gospel truth ettested and proved by the grateful testimony of thousands of women who have been rescued from lives

 You must be in terrible straits" said Mr. Levy.
 That Is not answering my question
 That Is my only answer"
 This completed the days examina- tion and the defense rested its case.
 A great crowd, anxious to witness the closing scenes of the trial gathered during the recess which. was ordered after the defense rested and the court room was packed when the afternoon session began. Miss Patterson wore a smile when she came in and took her usual seat beside her counsel
 The first witness called in rebuttal by the prosecution was J. R. Marean newspaper man, who interviewed Miss Paterson at the Tombs several months ago. Mir. Levy objected to the testi- mony of Marean but was overruled by Justice Davis. The witness said Miss Paterson told him that she and Young were sitting face to face when the shot was fired. There had been no quarrel before the shooting.
 Mrs. Margaret Young. the book makers widow was then called and after a series of objections had been overruled was allowed to testify that it was upon her husband suggestions that the tickets for Europe were pur- chased. She was not allowed, how ever. to tell the jury how much proper ty her husband left at his death.
 Every question put to Mrs, Young by Mir. Rand met with an objection from Mr. Levy. and several brief. but heated arguments between counsel resulted. While the arguments were going on. Mrs. Young glanced around the crowd ed court room. Once her eyes met those of Nan Pattersonn and the de- fendant turned her head away.
 Mrs. Young said that she and her husband had been estrarged for a year because of his attentions to Miss Pat terson and that marital relations were not resumed until they went to live at Sheepshead Bay last May. The prose cution then rested its case. The court adjourned until tomorrow when the closing arguments win be made

 Miss Kate Elinor, as Mrs Delaney. the woman who went to Newport to show society a few things, Is really funny. It Is not the ordinary thtne for q woman to be really and truly funny. But Miss Elinor knows the secret of making her audience laugh and she is not. moreover. afraid of making herself rough and unattractive to bring laughter to her audience. Her comedy may not be high comedy. but 1t Is comedy all the same.
 The next best comedy work was done by John R. Young as a stage tramp. MT Young was not especial ly original, and some of the jokes the play maker put in his mouth were of somewhat ancient vintage, but he scored with his audience.
 The others got through their parts we'll enough without making any special hits.
