SAVED FROM THE KNIFE
Cal cura Solvent, Dr.. Kennedy's New Medi- cine Will Dissolve and Expel Stone and Gravel from the System.

A surgical operation is no longer neces- sary for the removal of Stone and Gravel from the Kidneys and Bladder, since the aaeao medicine, Cal-cura Solvent, discovered by the well-known physician and surgeon, Dr. David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, Kingston, N. Y., quickly dissolves and swiftly expels Stone, Red and White Grav- el, thus freeing the patient of the intlamma- ton and pain, caused by the presence of these lime formations. Better than all, Cal-cura Solvent prevents the formation of Stone and Gravel and all uric acid condi- tions of the blood. The medical profes- sion has accepted and heartily endorsed the principal upon which Dr. Kennedy has based his claims for Cal-cura Sol vent.
 Write to the Cal-cura Company, Kenne- dy Row, Rondout, N. Y., for free sample bottle.
 Remember: Only one Dr. David Ken- nedy ever lived in Rondout, City of Kings ton, N. Y., and be sure you get his 7ee7o and latest medicine, which is sold only in $1OO bottles.

"A SPOILED DARLING.'

"A Spoiled Darling" given in the Town hall, last Friday night, by the ShePaug club, was drama tic success. The hall was crowded with an appre- ciative audience. The proceeds were very large and amply repaid the club for this notable effort in the direction of our hall piano. Much credit is due Mrs Charles Sanford and Mrs Walter Downs Humphrey, who so successfully coached the play. The cast consisted of:
 Stanley Mo Alister, Charles Sanford Mrs Stanley Nc A lister,,
 Gwendolyn Riall, Miss; abelle Mackay T. Livingston VanderSlice,
 Robert H. Thomas Mary Henrietta Kellogg,
 Mrs Robert H. Thomas. Hunter Brown, Rev w. D. Humphrey. Flora O'Flannigan, Irish cook
 Miss Helen Goodsell Bessie Murphy, (maid)i
 Miss Alice Bronson Katie, (maidD Mrs Norman Hurlbut Roberts, (cOachman)
 Clayton B. Squires Charles Sanford has gained a repu- tation for himself through past suc- cesses and all we need say is that he was even better than usual as the star in "A Spoiled Darling" MT Sanford in the title "Role of Nc Alister," who was so successfully spoiled and in- dulged by his young wife, insured the success of the play without the many other good actors. Especial mention should be made of Miss Isabelle Mo- Kay and Mrs Robert Thomas, who both looked charming in the first act ana c0mNQfQIV n.(nfiUato6 all in the second act when they came on in their dainty maids uniforms. Miss McKay's acting was very fine throughout and in her heart less treatment of Filkins, the butler, the authoritive air of the schoolmarm asserted itself. Mrs Thomas portrayed admirably the maid. who was so frightened whenever McAlister spoke to her, and in the dish washing scene with MT Humphrey was especially good. Mrs Clayton Squires deserves much praise for her good work all through the play, and her fearful good-byes to the mop and kitchen utensils in the last act was very fetching. Rev Walter Downs Humphrey was signal success. Ills dude was delightful. Robert H. Thomas as Filkins, the butler, was very funny. His was a comedy part and he certainly made the most of it. MT Thomas buttling, and his wig and whiskers were side-splitting. Mrs Norman Hurlbut, Miss Helen Good sell, Miss Alice Brownson, and Clay ton Squire enacted the outraged ser wants very successfully. Miss Helen Goodsell's interpretation of the Irish cook was very realistic and decided success. Mrs William Minor sang a very pretty selection during the first intermission. Miss Ethel Blades ac- companied her on the organ. Home made candy was sold between the acts by members of the Shepaug club who did not take part in the drama. The candy very ably testified to the fact that the Shepaugers have other ac- mplishments besides their histrionic ability. We were much disappointed at not hearing the duet which Miss Abbie Minor and Miss Anna Jean Nc Kay were to sing. After the last act the club sang song composed for them by Edelbert Sanford. No criti- cism to be made except that it was en- tirely too short and we sincerly "hope the club has surely come to stay"
