says: my wife thinks Doan's Kidney
Pills great remedy for backache and
other pains that come from the kid

for a long time with kidney trouble
and suffered a great deal of pain in
the back and other parts of the body.
She tried many remedies, but did not
find much benefit until she began u.s.

was soon cured. We both think a

Repertoire at the Gennett.

According to predictions, The
Voice of Nature" as presented at the
Gennett yesterday afternoon by the
American Stock company, proved TO
be one of the very best plays 1T its
repertoire, If not entirely so. The
production is unusually well mounted
and it calls for a large amount OF
emotional acting that was quite well
carried off. There was also vein
of humor that made the play as an
entirety pleasing to all concerned
Last night the offering was Dr.
JekyIl and Mr.. Hyde and it is in
this production that Mr. Alexander,
leading man. has scored his biggest
hit The audiences have so far been
large without exception and it is
thought standing room will be the or
der the remainder of the week. The
matinees have attracted hundreds
daily.

The greatest Camille of this gener-

the actresses who have ever portray
ed the part during the entire fifty-five
years that the play has touched the
hearts of the world, is Madame Sarah
Bernhardt. In England Olga Neither
sole has probably won the highest
praise. In America there can be no
question but that the acclaim Of crit
les has crowned Virginia Harmed as
the most brilliant and heart touching

only the largest cities of the Union
have enjoyed the treat of her portray
al of this character. She is this sea

Fitch's newest play, The Straight

pany come direct from New York
after phenomenally succe ssful run at
her home playhouse, the Astor theater
Some remarkable criticisms have been
written on The Straight Road" among
them one which has just appeared,
written by Father Adolph Suess, a
writer whose literary efforts are well
known throughout the country. Among
other things, he says:
THE German saying, inadequately

The strength of characteristic real

Forgive me. Oh, Blessed Virgin,
mother of us all, forgive me, / don't

who have saved SO many poor girls

the very height of emotional acting,

and injected spirit of sincerity into
the lines that lifted them far above the
commonplace. The Straight Road
is a drama worth seeing by men and
women capable of thinking, and who
will not allow the necessary trivial
ties of the play to overshadow the I'M
mense educational value of the cen
trail theme. The student of sociolog-
ical conditions will, likewise find in it
much food for thought and reflection.

BIRDS CROSS THE ATLANTIC.
Some of Them Can Make Trip In
Less than Nine Hours.

Less than Nine Hours.
The presence Of American birds In
this country raises the interesting
question, How do they cross the inter-
vening 1000 miles of ocean? Can We
suppose a bird is capable Of sustained
flight for a sufficiently long period to
accomplish this? On the suppositlon
that the yellow shank can fly at the
rate Of $50 miles an hour it would ac-
complish the distance in fourteen
hours. And then it must be remem-
bered that this bird, being a wader,
would be able to rest from time to time
on the water.
As regards the rate Of fight attained
by birds in their migratory Journeys,
some interesting computations are to
be found in Katke's "Heligoland as an
Ornithological Observatory" His fg-
ures are 125 miles an hour for the
northern blue throat and 245 for the
Virginia plover. At the last rate the
Atlantic could be crossed in about eight
and three-quarter hours. Some six 9TH
er American birds, including the red
! crested snipe and Eskimo curlew, are
recorded from the Sicily Islands.
Other American birds, including the
yellow-bllled cuckoo, have been record
ed in Ireland. And in connection with
| this crossing Of the Atlantic by Amer
lean birds it is interesting to note an
apparent attempt to cross In the oppo-
| site direction. In British association
| report for 1887 we read:
"At Rathtlin O'Birne (West Done
gall immense focks of birds-starlings
thrushes and fieldfares-passed west
from Dec. IS to %. The nearest land
to the west of this rock island is Amer
lea. This is not an isolated occurrence.
The westerly flight of land birds at
stations off the west coast of Ireland
has been noticed on other occasions"
1t would be interesting to know If
any Of these enterprising migrants
ever reached the other side.-London

THE WEALTH OF POVERTY.

Wealth bides with poverty. The wilding
rose,
Or little violet nesting by the stream,
'Tis these that set the gazing eyes
a-dream,
Not all the beauties of the garden-close.
IT'S not in mighty tempest where it blows,
Nor in the sea that shouts to cloud and
sail,
That music lives, but in the nightingale,
The wee, brown bird that sings at dusk
it's woes.
Yea, and the crowns of happiness and
love,
Grace not the troubled brows Of king
and queen;
But, Fate's free gifts, they deck the
hearts that move
In lowly state amid the quiet scene.
IT'S not rich Croesus, owner Of the sod,
But passing beggar hath the peace OF
God!
