FORDS GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Next week Americas distinguished
actor, Louis James and representative
company, in his sumptuous and success
full presentation of Shakespeare's ex-
qusite comedy
THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR"
Louis James and his own company of
Shakespearean players have achieved
distinct success this season in that most
delightful of great dramatic comedies,
"The Merry Wives of Windsor" The
production is one of exceptionally mag
nitude, with great cast, marvellous
stage equipment, costumal and electri-
cal effects. The Falstaff of Mr.. James
is great stage achievement and fully
sustains the artistic height reached in
that greatest of Shakespearean charact-
ers and must surely find place among
the enduring interpretations of the stage.
A glowing tribute to the actor who
knows no peer as tragedian. AS Fall
staff he is ideal, the pomposity and self
complacency of the vain old reprobate,
his irrepressible gallantry, his cowardice,
the ease with which he succumbs to fem
mime flattery are delightfully."- portrayed
by him. He represents the fat man as
such with much cleverness, his awkward
ness, his gait, even the gurgling of his
voice.
Mr.. James is particularly fortunate in
being surrounded by splendid company
headed by Nellie McHenry who gives
remarkably entertaining portrayal of
mistress Quickly" and Norman Hack
EFT as Master Ford, theirs in the cast in
clude Aphie James as Mistress Ford
and Charlotte Lambert as Mrs. Page,
VIM. Christie, Miller, Nathan Aronson,
Henry Maurice, G. Burt, Arthur Young,
George Ward, Lillian Lancaster and
otkers.
Besides the scenic and costumal advan-
tages of the production special care has
been given it's incidental music. Giving

Took n Sunday Walk,

Lester, son of Mr.. Geo. Damuth, for
merly of this place but now residing in
Waynesboro, and his companion, on Sun
day last went to Penmar on trolley car.
While there they thought it would be
nice to walk to Baltimore, and started
by way of the railroad for that city. At
seven o'clock that evening they arrived
at Mr.. F. N. Wilhide's home near Lantz.
Here they were given their supper, cared
for all night and given their breakfast
Monday morning. They then started out
again and landed in Thurmont about Z
o'clock. They at once proceeded to take
in the town, visiting friends, but stayed
away from Lester's) grandmother, Mrs.
Amelia Black. Word that Lester was in
town soon reached her, and both boys
were soon in her care and keeping. AT
ter telephoning to Mr.. Damuth it was
learned that the boys left without telling
their parents. They were taken home
Monday evening by Miss Rose Black, but
did not see Baltimore.

Statement.

Elsewhere will be seen the statement
of the finances of the town, showing re-
cepts and disbursements.
1t is an exceptionally good showing and
the town is to be congratulated on being
out of debt with a substantial fund on
hand, and Town Hall property worth
at least $4,000. An item appearing for
the first time is the sum of $4O.9l for
franchise tax. This item comes from tax
imposed upon the Citizens Savings Bank
deposits, which is divided between the
county and the town, under an act of the
Legislature passed at the last session.
The town can't afford not to make i'm
provements from the fact that the bonds
are now to be paid off. There is plenty
of room for improving and identifying,
but first and above all we must have bet
ter lighted streets. Will any one deny
this? Do the citizens of the town want
better lighted streets? Will the next
board be progressive citizens determined
that we shall have this much needed i'm
provement? We shall see.

Do Not Crowd The Season.

The first warm days of spring bring
with them desire to get out and enjoy
the exhiarating air and sunshine. Chill
dren that have been housed up all winter
are brought out and you wonder where
they all came from. The heavy clothing
is thrown aside and many shed their fan
nels. Then Geld wave comes and peo-
pie say that grip is epidemic. Colds at
this season are even more dangerous than
in mid-winter, as there is much more
danger of pneumonia. Take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, however, and you
will have nothing to fear. 1t always
cures, and we have never known cold
to result in pneumonia when it was used.
1t is pleasant and safe to take. Children
like it. For sale by Waters drug store.

Destructive Blaze.


On Tuesday morning between one and
two o'clock the store room and dwelling
Of Mr.. Thomas Baker at Franklinville
mills were destroyed by fire. Mr.. Baker,
who was sleeping above the store room
was awakened by his bed becoming ex-
ceedingly warm. The room was filled
with smoke, he put on his shoes, GRABBED
his clothing and jumped out a second
story window. To get into the dwelling
where his family were sleeping he burst
in door and in very brief time all
were making their exit from the burning
building.
The store room was a frame structure
built against the brick dwelling and the
brick wall between the store and house
held the flames in check long enough that
part of the furniture was gotten out. The
stock of goods was entirely consumed.
Mr.. Baker states that there was but
little fire in the stove in the store when
he retired and is unable to say how the
fire originated. He discovered that the
cellar doors had been opened and some
stones from the wall at the doors remov-
ed, and this leads to the supposition that
the fire was the result Of burglars who
had entered the store and accidently or
purposely set the building on fire.
Mr.. Bakers loss is partially covered
by insurance carried in the Home Fire
ms Co. of New York, for which John P.
T.. Matthias is agent in this locality.
Mr.. Baker moved his furniture saved
from the fire to Mr.. Chas. M. Calls res
Hence.

a life of idleness with dignity has set
in and the Capital of the United States
is even now as certainly the fashion
able social centre of the country as
arc Paris, and London the social CEN
tres for France and England. Not
withstanding these wonderful i'm
provements and accretion OF wealth,
real estate values in Washington are
low. This is especially so in the old
er residence sections of the city. The
electric roads have made all the out
lying surrounding districts so easily
and quickly accessible that large
number of people have disposed OF
their homes in the older surban sec
tons and have bought or are building
villas in localities that were a year
or two ago far without the suburbs.
The civil service rules which are now
firmly established have had much to
do in the improvement OF the city
by giving assurance to many thous-
ands of employees Of pcrmanencc OF
employment unaffected by political
changes. Thousands of clerks who
heretofore have had no assurance OF
stability and have been living in small
rooms and boarding houses have been
encouraged by the assurance OF per-
mancnt employment to invest their
savings in homes.
The sights of Washington will be
of interest to thousands of tourists
from the North, East, South and West
who will stop here on their way to
the jamestown Exposition and doubt,

greater comfort and much less expense
than can be seen at the Exposition

Pale People Made Rudy by Rydale's
Tonic.

Pale people are pale because the blood
is deficient in quantity or poor in quality,
or both. This impoverished condition of
the blood is almost invariably caused by
some wasting disease. The cause may
be chronic disease, such as dyspepsia,
consumption, malaria, ETC., or it may be
the result of an acute disease such as
fever, etc. 1t matters not what cause
produces this impoverished condition of
the blood, Rydale's Tonic will restore it
to it's normal state and bring back the
hue of health to the pale check. Rydale's
Tonic is put up in so cent and 81 sizes.
The large size contains % times the small
