One of the most delightful produc-
tions of the kind ever presented on a
local stage was enjoyed by two good
sized audiences at the Jefferson yes
terday, Kerry Cow" is not only a
worthy Irish play but Mr.. Murphy
has organized a company that is com
plete in it's measure of fitness to the
various roles Kerry Cow" is sweet
and wholesome. there being a pleas
ing little romance with an accompani-
ment Of genuine Irish wit, the heart
interest of the play being placed in an
atmosphere. as refreshing as the green
hills and fields OF the land where the
tale develops Even the necessary VIII
liam Is made interesting and not a
word calculated to offend exacting sem
sibiIties finds place in the really bright
dialogue 1t is commendable Irish
comedy drama in ali respects.
AS a star in the play this season
Mr. Allen Doone is introduced. Mr..
Doone is a new conner, but 1t only re-
quires a single performance for him
to have frst-class prestige in city.
His visit to Portland has resulted in
a fine reputation for him here, and
henceforth the name of Allen Doone
will be very pleasantly familiar Mr..
Doone is a fine, romantic actor and the
part of Dan O'Hara is just suited TO
him. He is something more than a
capable performer, for his vocal talent
his voice being a clear, strong and
flexible tenor. His songs were espec-
tally enjoyable feature of the perform
ance and were encored again and
again. Mr. Doone certainly has tai
ents which should secure him a place
with the bright particular stars in the
Irish romantic comedy field.
Mr.. Doone plays SO well the part OF
a lover, which is due to no small de-
gree to the leading lady. who assumes
the character Of Nora Drew. the hero
inc. She gives to the role the sweet
personality called for. and her acting
must serve as something of an inspira-
ton for Mr.. Doone in his interpreta-
ton of the companion character. The
company is a good one, the nature as
well as the youthful roles having per
formers suited by age as we'll as by
histronic qualities. The staging of the
pretty play is new and artistic. "Ker-
~ Cow" is one Of the good things of
the season and should be booked for a
return engagement This is positively
the last season of this play. From

A MINER.

Down in the bowels Of the earth
hundreds of feet below the surface, a
miner worked day after day, but his
thoughts were always of home. He
could see the wife, who as a girl, was
strong. healthy and full OF life today
weighted down with the cares of
motherhood and homework, never
complaining, trying to appear cheerful,
always denying that she felt bad and
Ieciving only herself. Only too well
could he see the change that had taken
place. see the drawn expression in the
eye, and the frame that was once
robust and stout now slender and slim.
The happy girlish ring of her laugh
had disappeared. The interest in the
making of little things for the home
was gone, and a different being had
stepped between him and the sweet
heart of few years ago. Day after
day he could see the conditions grow
worse. until he insisted she take medi-
cine of some kind. Simple home RENE
dies were used with no result, then a
physician was called. stomach and
liver trouble" he said. and the liver
is out of order" yet no relief was af-
forded.
The wife was compelled to take to
her bed, and the mother sent for to
nurse her. A suggestion of the drug
gist to the physician to try the old
Quaker remedy. Herb Extract. showed
immediate Improvement. and the con
tinued use to the exclusion OF other
medicines, entirely restored the health
that had disappeared.
Quaker Herb Extract and a com
pIete stock of the time-tried Quaker
Herb Remedies can always be found in
the stores of these enterprising drug
gists: Jas. W. Weis, E. R. Stauffer &

Science and Manufacture.

In the Zeiss glass works at Jena four
teen doctors Of science are employed,
and these include mathematician as
well as physicists The great Germsn
aniline color works employ more "sci-
entife'' than technical chemists At
one Of them. for instance. ffty-five sci
entifc and thirty-one technical chem
ists are engag ed, at a second 145 scien-
tif1c chemists and It's technologists, at
a third AS scientific chemists for sew
enty-6ve technicists. The research lab
oratories Of these works are lavishly
equipped. One Of them possesses a H.
brary Of 1900 volumes. A second
spends 10000 francs a year on glass
ware. These things are no doubt ex.
pensive, but these great factories still
manage to pay dividend Of from u
to 30 per cent. Every newly discovered
substance which is disable Is patented
and in this way Germany has managed
to establish a monopoly. The house oil

.BN. wALLACE,s AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

To the many personal friends, ac-
4uaintances and admirers of General
Lew Wallace. the announcement that
lis autobiography has just been placed
IN the market by Harper & Bros. will
sc of interest. With a dramatized YER
sion of his The Prince of India" oc-
supying the attention of New York
and Ben Hur'' that of Chicago at the
Auditorium theater this interest is
accentuated. The last years of Gen
eral Wallace's many-sids ed career were
spent in the preparation of his re-
markable story, under the old beech
tree at his home in Charlottesville,
where "BenH ur" was written, the
General transcribed his career on the
diverse fields of arms, letters, politics
and diplomacy. The book is rich in
"reminiscences, several chapters being
devoted to his literary labors, in which
he recounts how Ben Hur"-the book
which has been read by an innumerable
company and the drama which has
been witnessed by more than five
million people came to be written and
later dramatized. The story is a force
full presentation of the man himself,
an intensely individualistic character
and one of the most picturesque per-
sonalitieS of our times.
