Pale and trifle nervous apparently
Gillette faced the jury, and when
Marshall Hatch, the foreman, declared
that verdict of guilty in the first
degree had been found, the youthful
prisoner gave no sign of emotion A
few moments later when his counsel
had announced his purpose of making
q formal motion that the verdict be
set aside, and the Judge was dismiss
ing the jurors Gillette bent over
nearby table and picking up a pencil
wrote something upon sheet of paper
He then folded the paper carefully
and placed it in his pocket, imme.
diately afterwards he was taken from
the court room back to his cell in the
Jail.
1t was learned that the jury had
some difficulty in reaching an agree
ment and six ballots were take Uc.
fore the twelve men agreed. Up to
that time the jury had stood II for
conviction and one for acquittal.

Ninety and Nine

From Buffalo News,
At the Lyceum Theatre last evening,
''The Ninety and Nine,' opened to
good business. The play is presented
by an excellent company and is finely
mounted The locomotive scene where
an engine running at full speed
through forest fire is shown is one of
the best ever put on local stage.
VIM. Marble, Jr., is Tom Silverton, who
is drunkard but reforms and makes
the great run with the engine. He
does good work Arthur Snader does
good work also as Hud Bryson, a half
witted boy. Eileen O'Malley is capa-
Bile as Ruth Blake, who eventually
marries the hero. Other members of
the company include d. Barclay, Her
bert Curtis, Hattie Remple, George
Gebhart, Fred Worth, Al Reninger,
VIM. Marble, Sr., Ella Marble, Florence
Langdon, May n. Drew, Minerva Flor
ence, Elizabeth Remple, Madeline
West and May Washburn. The COM
pany is excellent and the play is one
of the best which will be seen here
this season. There is a moral lesson
running through it, it is clean and
wholesome and in addition there is
enough exciting incidents to keep the
audience interested. At the Empori-
um opera house, Saturday, Dec. sth.

The Ninety and Nine", from the
pen of the play Ramsey Morris,
is the underlined attraction at the En-
porium Opera House, Saturday
evening, Dec. Sth and while it is
not religious play as its title might
suggest, it carries a moral story that
teaches strong temperance lesson,
and founded as it is in country town
of the middle west, its pretty love story,
with its intrigues, plots and counter
plots, carries wholesome air of the
flower ladened prairies of Indiana, and
coupled with the art of a master stage
builder the show is, one of the real of
ferings of the season. The original
New York production will be used

The Power of Pictures.

If any questions the power of pictures
let him pause for a moment to reflect
bef6re giving expression to his mis-
givings. Think of the fabulous sums
which are paid for the products of the
masters, on the other hand, just see,
how the cartoons and.comic sections of
the Sunday periodicals are fairly de-
voured blythe ppblics Ifa mute pict-
ure or set of cartoons holds such sway,
how much greater is the attraction of
Moving Picture Comdy or Drama.
Here we have trained artists in panto-
mime, interpreting their roles exactly
as they would before a selected com.
pany of critics, every move studiously
exact, so that it is understood by all
nationalities, whether able to converse
together or not.
The entire audience is moved to
laughter, to tears or shudders and vice
versa, without aAword being spoken,
as if by magic. Where is the author
who can claim such results for his play?
Where is the dramatic or operatic
production to-day that can keep an
audience convulsed with laughter or
sWayed with emotion as is being done
everywhere by The Herald Square
Moving Pictures?
If you would enjoy genuine treat.
forget your dignity and be happy with
real laughter for two solid hours, why
just go at once and secure a seat for

To the theatre loving public:-For
the last seven years Mr.. Hall has been
appearing among you annually in
comedy-drama-such pieces as "The
American Girl" "An American Hust.
ler'' and "a Ragged Hero" But dur
ing the last seven years the tastes of

musical comedy.
To this end have secured Mr. Hall
for term of years and am launching
him, the season of 1906-7 in musical
comedy which 1 have had written to
fit his personality, entitled "Hello
Bill.n
1t will be a musical production
throughout, bubbling over with good
comedy, catchy uusic and pretty girls
Special attention will be made to the
costuming. The chorus making no
less than eight changes during the
action of the piece
For several years back Mr.. Hall has
been continually piled with the ques-
ton: "Why DON'T you bring a musical
show with chorus? etc., etc
In anwer to that question invite
you to call and see Mr.. Hall in the big
musical comedy, "Helo Bill" sur
rounded by company of clever com
edians and singers and dancers, and
assisted by bevy of pretty girls.

InRrovving Toe Nails.

1t has been found by some that the
coplous application of dried powdered
alum Is sufficient to cure most cases of
ingrowing toe nails. The applications
are not painful and the lnfamed It's
sue Is dried up. and hard, resistant,
nonsensltiye bed is formed for the nail.
The toe is wrapped In cloth soaked
In soap and water for twenty-four
hours beforehand, and then the pow
dered alum is poured into the space
between the mil and Its bed, using
cotton to keep the alum In place and
repeating the application daily. The
suppuratlon. il any exists, rapidly
dries up, pain and discomfort are al
most Immediately relieved, and, the
application being repeated for about
five days, cure usually results.
