BREED THEATER.
sThs Sons Return" Story of Povsrty's Desperation.

What proved to Be a most unusual picture at the Breed theater last eve ming was the, picture shown under the modest title of The Sons Return. This picture deals with very peculiar phase of greed for money, inasmuch as it prompts the parents of an an- hilton son, who has been successful in the city and returns home incognito, to waylay and rob him, leaving him for dead, to meet a mortgage on the tavern which they keep. Not until they reach their home do they diseov- CT the fact that they have robbed their own son, whereupon they hasten to the spot where they have secreted him, only to find that Good Samaritans have taken him in and cared for him, only to afford the parents the deep humili- ation which would naturally come aft CT such deed.
 A wonderful and thrilling story of the sea is entitled A Child's Prayer, and deals with the rivalry existing be- tween two fishermen and abounds with many beautiful scenes of the sea-
 Another Biograph comedy scream is entitled Eradicating Aunty, and one excruciating situation follows another so closely that it is one tumult of merriment, bearing out the excellent reputation that these films have.
 Miss Grace Alvin, the popular Bos- ton soprano, sang with delightful eff feet Roses Bring Dreams of You, a high class ballad that proved to be just what the audience wanted, and she merited the insistent encore that she received, she afterwards singing the popular success, Always Me, with pretty slides to accompany same.

LINCOLN PARK.
v.sdsviIIs at Rustic rhsst.r.

This weeks bill at Lincoln park is bound to make a hit with the patrons of the rustic theater. There are five acts and each one of the five is full of fun for the crowd. Monday night the theater was filled and applause for all the performers was hearty and pro- longed, everybody getting spirited en- cores. ttf
 The Phillips sisters dance nimbly and sing sweetly. Miss Ada Corbett, the, bright little novelty change artist, sings four times and has four cos- tunes, the complete change of attire taking in each case less than 15 sec onds. Her sailor song and hornpipe are particularly good. Lewis and Harr in "Along the Swanee' River play banjo and guitar very handily, and sing "Massa's in de Cold, Cold Ground'' and "Old Kentucky Home in a way that catches the crowd. William Cahill in "The Man from Ireland.'' is funny, and his songs, My Father Was a Grand Old Man. and Now Is the Time" are effectively rendered. The closing sketch, Married a Week" by Hawley and Alcott, started in with .. backsliding bridegroom, who goes on champagne outing and does not get nome to his distracted bride until time for the milkman to fill the pail in the morning, but all ends happily.
 The dancers were plentiful in the pa- vilion Monday night, many couples holding the floor until the 11.15 car for the city. The matinees commence At 3.S0 every afternoon after Monday

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an infiamed con- ditjon of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's nor nal condition hearing will be destroy ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but an inhamed condition of the mu- cous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot bescured by HalP s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F. J. CHENEY & CO, ToIeuo, O.
