There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
diseases put together, and until
the last few years it was supposed
to be incurab BILE. For a great
many years doctors pronounced
it local disease and prescribed
local remedies and by constantly
failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven: catarrh to be
unconstitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by f. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to teaspoonful.

mucous surfaces of the system.

The MAJ estic.

Georgia Gardner and Joseph Maddern
have a sketch at the Majestic theatre
this week that is above the average. 1t
is called TOO Many Darlings" and is
brim full of laughter. II takes Miss
Gardner and Mr.. Madden about twenty
minutes TO put on the sketch. and they
both manage to make things pretty lively.
1t is a sketch that depends for is success
upon the manner in which it is presented,
and this happy team leave nothing to be
desired in this respect. The idea is
new one of a sport loving husband who
is heard by his wife talking about a race
horse with a womans name. This causes
her to become jealous and she certainly
makes trough house" until her hus-
band, after desperate efforts. pacifies her
long enough to square himself. "Ill
wipe up this place with you" says the
wife when her anger reaches lite heighth.
and she certainly does, for with chair
she fells her husband. and he must re-
main on the floor until he assures her she
is mistaken. As is always the case after
the entanglements are Fighter. the couple
become reconcied and march off the stage
arm in arm and smiling.
Others on the bill this week are the
Herbert and Willing, negro comedians.

Parsifal.

Mr.. Roberts play which was presented
at the jefferson theatre yesterday. both in
the afternoon and at night, was an
nother attempt through the legend of
the Holy Grail to bring before the peo'
pie the literature, the thought and the
deep spirit that kept alive Christianity
in the medieval ages, thus enabling 1t
later on to become the worlds greatest
force Tennyson put in poetic lines this
legend in his knights of the Round
Table; and many other writer's in many
countries had done likewise even before
Wagner wove It into that wondrous spec
tacle called 'Parsfal." Mr.. Roberts goes
over the ground again in his play.
But the play of yesterday turned more
upon the sacred spear than upon the
Cup of Chalice that poets have celebrated
these many years.
The sacred spear is the one with
which the Roman soldier pierced the side
OF the dying Christ upon the cross of
Cavalry. The warders of the Grail were
also keepers of the Spear
The story of the play is briefly this:
On the death of the aged Tituel Amfortas
becomes king of the Grail He has in
his keeping the sacred spear. but he loses
it to Klingsor, the black knight of ne
oromancy, through the Establishments of
kundry, the fairest of our women. Par
sifal is a shepherd. who too is tempted
by Kundry. but he ressts all temptation.
kundry falls deeply in love with Parsi-
fal. At length Parsifal overcomes King
sor in the garden of the Narcotic Bios
SONS, and RECEIVERS the sacred Spear. He
is doomed by Kundry to wander the earth
over, but Kundry repents and withdraws
her curse. Parsifal returns with the spear,
and is crowned King of the Grail in
succession to Amfortas.
The play was impressive, and John Lane
Conner as Parsifal certainly won all
hearts as we'll as considerable admira-
tion, but his brogue, delightful as it must
be in some of his parts, does not fit well
in medieval play. Miss Heating as Kun
Dry is beautiful, but she lacks the histri-
cnic force and magnetism to bring out all
the possibilities of the part. Frederick
Devorak as Klingsor, the villain of the
plot was effective and the other players
of the cast We're reasonably well adapted
to the parts assigned them. Some of the
scenes were very effective, notably that
in the third act when Klingsor invokes
the attendance of sundry spirits, and also
the scene in which klingsor is surrounded
by his dancing girls.
All that scenery can do is done in this
spectacle play and 1t was a duh soul
indeed that was not moved yesterday
by some of them. Repeated curtain calls
Attested the deep interest that the play

OF old and new pupils. The Sunday school
room was exquisitey decorated with
Christmas bells and holly. and the praise
service OF song accompanied by the mag
nificent Sunday school orchestra was
grand. A beautiful feature OF the service
was the offerings made first by the little
folks of the Sunday school and then
the older people for the poor of the city
and for the Alabama orphanage at Sum-
