MESSAGE FROM. MARS
IS A SPLENDID len SHOW hi "
Capable Company Presents Play
Absolutely Unique and Alto

.vid Proctor and his company pre-

David Proctor: and his company pre-
scented "a Message From Mars" to a
we'll filled house at the Academy last
night. "a Message From Mars" is a
play so unique that its name is not sug-
gestive of what 1t really is The name
might herald any stage frlvolity, but on
the contrary, 1t is a sermon, tremendous
~ powerful.
q 1t deals with a young, wealthy English
man named Horace Parker. exceedingly
selfish. He receives In dream mes
senger from Mars. who is sent to earth
as a penalty for a nisdeed. to reform the
most selfish OF men. This the messen-
ger accomplishes by a fficting Parker with
misfortune, until, In extremis, he does
the generous thing, and the messenger
departs, his work being accomplished
Mr.. Proctor takes the part OF Horace
Parker, and does 1t exceedingly well. = g
Is a good looking fellow and acts natu- <
rally, The part Is not an easy one. The
selfishness it portrays is not that OF bru-s
tai Indifference, but that OF a man uncon-
scious OF his faults; NOT mere love of self,
but a twisted view. a He does not help the
sick because the hospitals will do So
He does not help at a fire, because tho
firemen will attend to It, He thinks he
has his peculiar place, and beyond that
he does not move. &
The part could be easily overdone. but
Mr.. Proctor does not do this and to use

Mr. lyric Young, as the tramp, is

DANVILLE, Va, November 1.-THE
trial of Rome T. Chandler for violation
Of that portion of the postal laws relating
to the sending of obscene literature
through the United States mall, was re-
Gsumed in the United States Court this
morning. The mall clerks on the two
trains which handled the letter, alleged
to have been nailed by Chandler at Vir-
gilina, testified. showing how they mark
ed the letter for Identification, and how
II was brought back to Danville.
Mr. Kaufman. one OF the leading bus
mess men of this city, to whom the letter
was addressed, told how 1t was opened
in his presence, and identified the letter
exhibited In court as the letter contained
therein. The government rested at l2:15
to-day and the defense began its case.
They brought forward several witnesses
who saw Chandler at the train on the
morning In question and who said that
he did not mail the letter.
At the session of the court tonight,
most OF the time was taken up with Wit
.nesses who testified as to the good char
aster ofgsthe defendant. The defense an
.nounced at 10 OF clock that they were
about through. but would like for an adj
journment to be iordered until Tomorrow,
in order to look over the case more
thoroughly.
The district attorney states that the
evidence in rebuttal will only consume a
few minutes, and. the instructions will
probably be given early in the morning,
and the day spent in the argument, and
the case probably be given to the jury
late In the evening.

Upon My Honor
AS an American Citizen,

consider Paracamph, First Aid to the
Injured, to be Americas most reliable
household remedy. fully believe and win
guarantee Paracamph to be the quickest
and srrest relieving and healing agent
ever offered to the public for Burns, Cuts,
Bruises, Swellings and Inhamnations. 1t
is an absolute preventive of Blood
Poisoning, for which reason alone it
should be kept in every home, shop, or
factory. Paracamph heals without 1eav
ing ugly scars. 1t does not dry and scab,
but actually heals, from the bottom of
the wound up. Paracamph is unequa1ed
for the quick relief it gives in cases of
Neuralgia, Rhs.anatie Swellings, Sore
Feet, Sore Muscles, Itching and Burning
Skin, Itching Piles Insect Bites, Swell
ings and Infammations 1t is superior
to old fashioned salves and liniments,
arnica and vaseline, for the reason that
when applied it opens the pores of the
skin, penetrates directly to the seat of the
ailment, stimulates the circulation,s re-
moves the congestion and draws out all
soreness, fever and inflammation by induc-
ing sweating. guarantee every bottle
of Paracamph to do exactly what is
claimed for 1t when applied as directed.
If used as advised without giving the
promised results, every retail druggist Is
authorized to refund the money. Don't
take any substitute, there is nothing "just
as good as Paracamph.
Sold only in 25c, Soc and 800 bottles

ductiOn of one of their number be-
ing a natural armchair, in which
the required shape was attained
during the growth of vine. AL
most from it's first appearance the
vine had been carefully treated in
anticipation of the use to which it
was to be put. BY the time it at
tanned full growth it was formed
into a rustic arm chair. All of
the joints were made by grating,
so that the chair is practically in
one solid piece, and after it had at
tanned a growth of some three feet
it was cut and thoroughly dried.
Finally it was polished, the wood
taking a finish not unlike ma.
