MIRACULOUS CURE BY
CUTHCURA REMEDIES

when my little boy six months old he had
eczema. The sores extended quickly ever the
whole body that AT called In the doctor.
We then went TO another doctor, but he could not
help him. and in despair went to third
one. Matters became bad that he had regular
holes In his cheeks, large enough to put finger
Into. The food had to be given with spoon,
for his mouth covered with crusts thick as
a finger, and whenever he opened the month they
began to bleed and suppurate, did also his
eyes. Hands. arms, chest, and back, In short
the whole body, covered over and over. We
had no rest by day night. Whenever he was
laid in his bed, We had to pin hts hands down;
otherwise he would scratch his face, and make
an open sore. ! think his face must have itched
most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could help and I
had made up my mind to send my wife with the
child to Europe. hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to b put under good
medical care there. But, Lord be blessed. mat

Polk Miller,

Pictures in story and song of old planta-
ton life in the southland "befo' de wah'
captured the thoroughly interested and
amused attention OF the large audience
that gave cordial welcome to Polk Miller
of Virginia and his quartet of plantation
darkies" at the New National Theater last
evening.
Mr.. Miller in his Introductory remarks
referred to dialects generally, and to forms
OF speech that are peculiar to the people of
particular district. or to a class Of peo-
pie, as distinguished collectively from other
forms Of the same language and spoke Of
the great service rendered to literature by
such men as Riley Of the middle west and
Page and Harris of the SOUTH who have
done SO much to illustrate and preserve
the folklore of the different sections.
It has been often remarked, and perhaps
with justice. that it is difficult-well-n nigh
bimpossible-for one not reared in the south
to give correct imitation of the singularly
characteristic and musical intonations of
the old-ttme southern plantation negro.
Reared on q Virginia plantation, and hav-
ing made a lifetime study Of the scenes and
songs and stories OF plantation life. Mr..
Miller Is perhaps sui generis in his capacity
to tell the stories and sing the songs Of the
old days In negro dialect go undoubtedly
genuine and quantity humorous and mu-
steal as to attract the fancy of audiences
in every section of the country.
The quartet gave a number OF selections
that were chiefly attractive because they
represented songs as they were in fact sung
on the plantations, and not they are
taught in the schools Of dialect and folk
song. Mr.. Miller told number of stories
in an inimitably quaint, unaffected and at
tractive way. Among the numbers on the
program which the audience seemed par
ticularly to appreciate were Run, Niger,
Run (old-time negro), banjo solo; "Gwine
Back to Georgia Cnvisible chorus)
''Shout'n Mourners," Give Me a Home In
the Dear Old South" and, in addition, Mr.
Miller gave most effectively Dan Tucker"
The Virginia Reel" Arkansas Trav-
hat OF
story of the origin of the cakewalk the
history OF the banjo and sketches of his
boyhood days and darby playmates pleased
an audience that evidenced it's appreciation
in continued waves of merriment.
The entertainment was given under the
auspices of Onward Tent, No. 1921; Har-
mony Tent, No 1920. and John b. Hender-
son Tent, No. 1889, Independent Order OF
Rechabites.

Heavy Fine Imposed.

Adam V Jones. colored. was in the Police
Court today upon an Information that he
assaulted Policeman William Macdonald OF
the first precinct and Mary Hill. At the
conclusion of the evidence fine of $50 was
imposed upon him.
Policeman Macdonald was patrolling his
beat last evening near the corner Of the
alley west of 18th and e streets when he
hear loud cries for help. He ran in the di-
rection Of the cries. he stated and upon his
arrival found Jones attempting to assault
Mary Hill. Macdonald said he saw the col
ored man strike the woman and send her
sprawling into the middle of the floor. lie
placed Jones under arrest.
AS they were walking to the patrol box, II
was stated, Jones struck the policeman a
stunning blow in the eye. Macdonald weld
ed his club in response with effect, evident
iy, considering the condition of the coloreo
mans head he appeared in the Police
Court this morning.
If the fine is not paid Jones will spend the
next six months at the farm.

THE THEATE
Columbia Theater.

The Guy Standing company presented at
the Columbia last night Jane" by VIII
liam Lestocq and Harry Nichols, comedy
which has been a favorite for score OF
years Special pains had been taken to
provide additional talent for the cast and
the effort was eminently successful. Miss
Jessie Bnley, engaged from Frohman for
the title role made decidedly favorable
impression. while Mr.. John Mason was In
trusted with an entirely new line OF bust
ness. In which he acquitted himself emf
nently satisfactorily.
The story of Jane is that of young
spendthrift who is kept upon a small al
lowance by his guardian until he marries.
Becoming overwhelmed with debt, and yet
disinclined to enter into the marital state,
he resorts to a lie and reports to his guar
dian his alleged marriage, whereupon his
allowance is increased Still it is not suf11-
Client. and he continually calls for more
on the plea OF an extraVagant WIFE, until n
nally the guardian rebels and announces
that he Is coming to town to see this ex-
travagant wife and admonish her.
This announcement Is conveyed to the
young man just as the guardian is about to
arrive, and 1t behooves him to find a wife
In a hurry. His comedy serving maid,
Jane, who has just been secretly married
to the butler, Is the only material at hand.
Quickly the situation is explained to her
and she agrees to pose as the wife, but
does not let the butler, her new husband,
into the secret
1t is easy to imagine the embarrass-
ments that are now about to occur The
butler cannot understand anything OF this
extraordinary situation, Of course, and at
every climax he falls in faint. One of
the most laughable scenes is the dinner
party, where Jane, posing as the mistress
Of the household. orders her butler-hus-
band around in the most audacious man
ner, bosses her alleged lord with some Sc
verify, drinks quantities Of wine and has
a most beautiful time for house maid.
Then the sly mink wheedles the old
guardian, by falling on his neck and de-
ciaring that II she had such protector
she would not be SO extravagant, where
upon he blows himself for some new gowns
and rings, out of the allowance of the
spendthrift, while that young gentleman
can only look on gruesomely.
In the end, of course. 1t all comes right
and everybody IL forgiven and is happy.
Miss Busley fits into the role OF the vivacious
and, cunning maid most happily, while Mr..
Mason in his new role made decided hit.
Guy Standing, as the reckless and lovable
young spendthrift, is in his element, while
the excellent company sustained their re-
spective roles with credit.
