"Way Down East

Each dramatic season. there comes
to the surface, renewed evidences of
the superior merit of Way Down
East" through the failures of weak
limitations that have been "boosted !"
by energetic press agents as another
WAY Down East" This attempt to
trade upon the reputation of Mr..
Brady's great productiOn-as eIabor
ated and staged by Jos. R. Grismer,
may be commended as sincere fiattery,
but the public are too well educated
in dramatic sense to accept an infer
ior article, as something Just as good.
''Way Down East" embOdies all that
is human and dramatic in rural life,
also breathes the pure atmosphere of
country life and being.
Added to these most efficient COM
pany that correctly voices the joys and
sorrows of these presented to view and
it follows as truthfully as the night
and the day, the public leaves in a
satisfied and better frame of mind than
when entering 1t.
Such result is the acme of triumph
and fixes at once the status of both
play and author. 1t will be seen at the
Beverly theatre, Oct End.

Scottish Appreciation of virginia Book.

The Glasgow (Scotland) Herald -
says of 1.-The Gift of the Morning Star,
Mr. Armistead g. Gordon's novel. re-
Gently published bv the Funk & Wag-
nails Co of New York and London,
which is now in an English edition:
1.-The story is one OF distinct and con-
tin dous interest. 1t is concerned with
characters and situations that are at
once fresh and engaging, and it re-
veals observing powers and descriptive
facility of no common order. At the
root of the study lies the question of
heredity, and the illustrative details
are designed to show what a man may
make of his opportunities with origi
nal temperament and individual energy
to guide him towards his finished pro
duct. This is. of course, the theme
that has been handled by the psychol
Ogical artist from the dawn of creative
literature, and the novelty in the pres
ent case consists in the fact that the
author successfully responds to Hor-
aces dictum and treats the common
place after fashion of his own. He
finds his material amid secluded and
primitive conditions, places it 80 as to
show its inherent strength and value,
and hereafter by dexterous and rele
want manipulation covers it with the
glory of which it is fairly susceptible.
The various characters, especially
those of a strictly primitive type, are
strongly vitalised, and the closing sec
tions of the story are particularly
bright and effective"
The Edinburg Scotsman" says of
the book that lit is ably imagined and
gracefully written always; while Mr..
Alexander Anderson, the Scottish au
thor and poet, who is now Librarian
in the University of Edinburg, writes
of it: 1T is now a good many years
since | read story that has interested
me so much. The characters are all
fresh and real, and think the silent
sister is a mastery piece of character

Suspends Business.

A Staunton special to the Baltimore
Sun Friday says: The Equity Lite AS
ISOLATION, of this place, announced
week ago it's inability to longer con-
tinue business and stated that it paid
out all it's assets to it's policy holders.
The company is said to have realized
on all it's assets and has disbursed all
the money in it's hands. The Equity
is the last of four insurance companies
organized in Staunton, all of which did
BUSINESS on some form of assessment
insurance. The Equity was an active
company for more than II years, and
except for unusually heavy death losses
and large shrinkage in the premium
receipts, owing to the insurance situa-
ton in the country generally, the com
pany might have lived many years
longer. Messrs. j. s. Funkhouser is

long ago he reached the conclusion that
