THE COLUMBIA.
aMr WIFE,


The Columbia Players came into their
own last night Their rendition Of My
Wife, the play IN which John Drew and
Billy Burke scored such a notable sue
cess. was a revelation in the matter of
what can be accomplished by an intelh
gent and conscientious stock company.
The play itself is one which lends itself
easily TO stock-company methods. II is
light, clean, and frothy. well told and
sldI1fuIly constructed, and abounding IN
situations OF the most ludicrOus sort
Occasionally there are witty lines. though
for the most part the humor Is of the
kind that requires no delicate shading on
the actors part. but rather merely an
intelligent realization Of the situation
and a free and bold execution
The great burden OF this delightful
comedy is borne by Orme Caldara as
Gerald EVersleigh. the bachelor who
suddenly finds a wife thrust upon him.
and Miss Julia Dean. as the willful ward
with the most wonderful ideas about mat
rimony. who is the party Of the second
part in this unique trial marriage Both
Miss Dean and Mr.. Caldara were ad-
mirable. The former has a peculiar
adaptability for the playing OF naive
young ladies bent upon getting their
own way. such as is TriXie Dupre In
Ny Wife, and last night she brought
10 II so much OF charm and winning
grace that the audience wonders that
Eversleigh could be so blind TO her love.
Mr.. Caldara's work last night stamped
him as one Of the most efficient Leading
men who has ever appeared IN a Wash
ington stock company. The only criticism
10 be made Of him Is that he was net
quite up TO his lines. q fault that viii, Of
course. be corrected IN succeeding per
formanees. But he gave ample evidence
OF the fact that he is a capable light
comedian. fully alive 70 all the possibIii-
ties OF his part. Eifted in the reading OF
epigTammatic lines. and carrying farcicsl
situations with an undisguised zest and
vehemence. In addition. Mr.. Caldara has
personality and stage presence.
In the supporting company. Mr.. Everett
Butterfeld was given the best opportunity
he has yet had for the portrayal OF the ex-
treme English types for which he seems
10 be so excsGently suited As the Hon.
Gibson Gore, he scored heavily, and easily
shared the honors of the evening with
Miss Dean and Mr.. Caldara It may be
said Of Mr.. Butterfeld that he resists the
temptation to overdo what is ever present
in the Interpretation OF such parts. His
drawI and accent are correct and con-
tagious, and his sense OF proportion just.
IN the second act, where he is confronted
with the task OF unearthing two seconds

Eversleigh has brought on himself. he

KNOCKED DOWN BY
AUTO ON FRANKLIN SQUARE
George 6edard Had Two Ribs Broken
and was Otherwise Bruised.

George Bedard, the 9.year old son
of Joseph G. Bedard of No 24S Main
street, was struck and knocked down
on Franklin square about the middle of
the forenoon Thursday by an automo-
bile driven by Leo kronig and pain
fully but not seriousely hurt. The ac-
cident happened just in front of Mad
denis cigar store, the boy being struck
with force enough to stun him for a
time, breaking two ribs and badly
bruising his face and shoulder.
Just before the boy was struck. Jack
McGrath the champion heavyweight
wrestler, saw his danger and made a
grab for him to pull him out of the
way, but didn't quite reach him. He
was the first to pick him up and the
boy was carried into the cigar store
and afterwards taken to his home
directly across the street. Mr.. Kronig' S
machine was going at such sized thai
he was able to stop it within it's own
length after the accident and he at
once got out and gave all the assist
ance possible. DR.. H. f. Higgins. who
happened to be passing, was called in
to treat the unconscious boy, who
shortly revived and was taken to his
fathers house, Mr.. Kronig putting his
machine in the garage and then re-
turning to the Bedard place to see
what could be done for the boy
Thursday evening the child was re-
ported resting as comfortably as pos

GiIett's Resolve Approved.

Congressman Gillet of Springfield
Mass. riding home from the railroad
cars after the tariff session of congress
had the indiscretiOn to look out of the
car window. He was rejoicing in his
release from legislative cares, and was
all ready to be happy in the thought
of the three months of comparative
leisure ahead of him, but what he saw
from the car window Jared and sad
dened his spirit. He tells about it in
letter to The Springfield Republi-
can.
1t was nothing new What he saw
was advertisements, advertisements,
advertisements, disfguring the land
scape all the way from Washington
to New York. 1t grieved and irritated
him, just as it does thousands of other
travellers every day of the week, every
week in the year. and more or less on
every railroad in the United States.
He debated with himself Wat he
could do to stop it, considered the ex-
pediency of getting up vast society
of consumers pledged not to buy goods
so advertised rejected that plan be-
cause it savored too much of the boy
colt and the black list and the com
bination in restraint of trade" that is
forbidden by law, and came down final
ly to a modest personal resolve not
himself to buy any merchandise urged
on his attention by roadside signs. No
whiskey Will he drink. nor pickles eat,
nor wash with soap, nor smoke tobac-
co. nor wear suspenders nor shave
with razors that are thus iniuriouslv
recommended. That is all he can do
at present, except to write a letter to
the paper. and he he'd done that. too.
We sympathize heartily with Mr. Gill
let. The whole business of road
side q6VprtiCino ic la t-ha nj
ought to be suppressed. or strictly reg
ulated, by law. 1t is possible that we
shall see it so dealt with some day,
and the sooner the better. All the Of
fensive forms of public advertising can
be abolished without injury to any
body. Talent and enterprise will be
just as effective in a field reasonably
restricted in the interest of taste and
beauty as though the surface of all the
earth was left to be defaced by COM

CONFERENCE OF comet. CHURCHES
Held with Grswold Church at which Gift of $4,000 to
Church Fund by Mrs. Prudence Norman Announced

The conference of six Congregational
churches meeting in Griswold We'd
nesday had one of its most enjoyable
and inspiriting sessions.
The early showers of the morning
did not prevent the attendance of about
a hundred guests, but rather added to
the comfort of travel.
The fellowship of the surrounding
Pachaug oak trees, Old Glory floating
from a Flagstaff near the soldiers mon
ument, the CHEEKY and appropriately
decorated auditorium and platform, ex-
cellent music from the choir and
Astounding hospitality gave charm to
the occasion.
AT the collation. hour in Coil chapel
mention was made of the bequest by
Mrs Prudence Norman of two thou
sand dollars to the church fund and
the service of silver for the tables.

FAULTLESS PRESCRIPTION
No Remedy for Stomach Distress
and Indigestion So Perfect

A scientific prescription for dyspep-
STA put up in small tablet form and
called Mi-o-na is making thousands OF
quick and lasting cures throughout
America.
There is no stomach disease (even
catarrh of the stomach) that it is not
guaranteed to cure, and The Lee &
Osgood Co. has so much faith in Mi
o-na for stomach disorders of all
kinds that they will refund your money
if it does not cure.
Mi-o-na. the faultless prescription,
stops sour stomach. belching of gas.
distress after eating. heartburn, bill
iousness and nervousness.
It is well worth trial by any read
er of The Bulletin who suffers from
any stomach disturbance. 1t contains
ingredients that not only give relief
but that act on the stomach SO bene-
ficially that in short time the flabby,
tired out walls of the stomach regain
their strength and activity.
Try Mi-O-na for a week; misery will
change to happiness; despair to hope,
dull eyes to be bright, and you will
yourself wonder why you suffered so
long with such a remarkable prescrip-
tion at hand.
And only 80 cents for a large box
