be supposed to have best pre-
served his health. that he slept
always in the open air, for W hen
he had lived 500 years an angel
said unto him, arise. Methuse-
lah and build thee an house, for
thou shalt live yet 500 years
longer" Ana Methusclah an
swered and said: IF am to live
but 500 years longer it is not
worth while to build me an
house. l will sleep in the air.as
have been used to do" Physi-
clans. after having for ages con-
given fresh air sparingly. have
ut length discovered that it may
do them good. 1t is therefore to
be hoped that they may in time
discover likewise that 1t is not
hurtful to those that are in
health and that we may then be
cured OF the acrophobia that at
present distresses weak minds
and makes them choose to be
stiied and poisoned rather than

ADJUSTMENTS
Belasco.

1.-THE Lottery Man." presented at the
Belasco Theater last night by The
Vagabonds. is bowling farce, and 1t
is admirably played. Repeated cur
tain calls after every act showed the
favor with which the large audience
received the production.
Henry Mortimer. who played the
lottery man" himself, made a decided
hit He handled the amusing situa-
lions remarkably we'll, and entered
into the spirit of the play with a
lightness and enthusiasm which car
ried the audience along with him.
Caroline Lee, as Lizzie Roberts, an old
NOR. who produced the lucky coupon
emitting her to marry the lottery man
and at the same time win 100000,
shared the comedy honors with Mr..
Mortimer. 1t was her first appearance
with The Vagabonds. and she won
THE Lottery Man" is one of the dis
tinct features Of the play
Tha lottery man is young news

awarded to the woman holding the
lucky coupon. published by his pa

pay dollar for coupon. Thousands
OF women take chance on the good
terry has begun. he meets the right
girl and the rest OF the play deals
with his efforts to get out OF the
lottery and to win the girl. He Is
successful in the end.
Marguerite Snow, who plays the leading
woman's part, Helene Heyer. has an at
tractive personality, but not a great deal
OF opportunity in the role. She meets
the demands. however, in all respects.
Mrs. Stanhope Wheatcroft as Mrs. Pey-
ton, a rich woman who gives her life
TO an endeavor to keep young" made a
pronounced hit Other parts were well
taken by Osborne Searle. as Foxey Pey-
ton: Florence Huntington. as Mrs
Wright, mother OF the lottery man, and
Gertrude Augarde. as Hedwig Jensen,
physical culture expert.
The dessert Of the dramatic feast how
ever, came. as desserts usually do, at
the end. when Sir Henry Irving's one-act
play, Waterloo" by Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle was presented. Fuller Mellish,
in the role created by Irving. gave a char
acterization, wonderful in its detail. Of
the old corporal who had fought a half
century before at the great battle. Miss
Snow. who played Norah, the corporars
grandniece. was quite good. while Lionel
Belmore. as Sergt. Archie Mcdonald, and
Emmett c. King, as Col. James Mid
winter, handled their parts creditably.

REDUCTION IN TOLLS.
New England Telephone and Tele-
graph Company Lowers Charges.

BOSTON, June l3.-The New England
Telephone and Telegraph Company is
about TO inaugurate a sweeping reduc-
ton in rates. TO take effect during the
coming summer and fall. This action
follows a series of reductions made in
the Boston suburban district by the state
authorities. by which the telephone COM
panys annual venue was reduced be-
tween 100000 and 100000.
The company officials believe that the
reductions Announced today, which. II
IS estimated. will take from its revenue
100000 addii.ona Will not mean any
permanent loss, as they are expected to
create largely increased volume of
business.

Of other plays. in Before and After
rises to heights of farcical delight so
contagious as to hop over the footlights
and hit the risibilities of the veriest
crouch in the audience. If there be one.
Everett Butterfleld, displaying his art of
makeup and characterization. gives a
ludicrous representation of a spicy
Frenchman. now ready for a duel and
now eager to kiss another mans wife to
satisfy his desire for revenge. 1t is one
of those impossible characters with which
the play abounds.
Emile Melville made a unique passe
chorus girl and shared in the laughter
and applause. Frederick Forester. Nina
Melville. Carrie Thatcher. Ollie Minesse
and Arthur Richie were all good in their
parts Jessie Glendinning. as Odette. kept
the audience oscillating between the
smiles Of pleasure and the joys of antici-
patton. and Stanley James appears for
the first time in his career in blackface.
He is "Cassius" on the program. but In
the play every one calls him George. He
fills either identity with adequate salts

was a feature In his line.

SAFE FROM COMPETITION.
u. S. Has Little to Fear From
Orange.Growing Countries.

With the aid OF the protective tariff,
machine labor and considerable expert
ence In growing citrus fruit. this coun-
try is safe from competition on the part
OF Spain and Italy in growing oranges
and lemons This was the statement OF
G.. II. Powell. formerly of the bureau of
plant industry of the Department of
Agriculture
Mr.. Powell was selected as the secre-
tary of the Citrus Fruit Growers Asso-
citation and has just returned from a
two-month trip through Spain and Italy.
He says the fruit raising and handling
pared with the United States. and that
we have little to learn from those coun-
tries and little to fear from their COM
petition.

Columbia.

Leo Detrichstein's farce. Before and
After" into which the Columbia Play
ers jumped pellmell with characteristic
snap and vigor last evening. is probably
one of the most idiotic as well as laugh
able farces Of its day and generation.
The play last evening furnished an exhi-
bition Of laughter that seemed illimit-
able 1t ran the gamut from ripping
bubbles of mirth to chuckles that start
In ones inner consciousness and end in
an uncomfortable roar.
Great as the leap from their other pro-
auctions might seem. the entire galaxy
of the Columbia Players made 1t and
made 1t we'll and completely in this Be
fore and After farce.
A. H. Van Buren,. with Frances Neil
son, scored a hit without a semblance OF
romance to their roles. Bubbling Joy and
farcical anger marked the limits Of the
pendulum beat of Mr.. Van Burens
work. and wherever one found him he
seemed to be rightfully and satisfactorily
there. Miss Nelson, too. seemed quite
as much at home in her ludicrous situa-
tons as in those Of the more serious
productions.
But no one who saw will fail to lay
the laurels on the brow OF George Bar
bier. This villain and heavy actor

New National Theater last evening by
the Aborn English Grand Opera Com

ford. who has been heard in the title role
in Washington before, made her reap
goodly host of friends, some of whom
celebrated her return with floral offer
ings. Her rendition of the role of the
tickle, headstrong, hayward cigarette
girl has much in 1t to commend. and she
played and sang it to the limit Of her
the great Calve, perhaps the greatest
Carmen that ever lived. before one, the
artist who follows her in the role must
necessarily bear comparison. and 1t is
heartbreaking test
Salvatore Sciarretti easily won the
honors of the evening with rare por-
travail of Don Jose, the discarded lover.
Mr.. Sciarretti was in superb voice. and
he sang his long and difficult role with
sympathetic grace and finish. His act
ing, too. was quite beyond the usual por-
travail of the role in its excellence. AS
Escamillo William G. Stewart made an
acceptable toreador and sang his chief
song beautifully. Herbert Watrous' fine
voice also appeared 10 lis pest advantage

AS Micaela, Jane Abercrombie sang the
gem Of the evening with exquisite tact
and discretion and a voice that seems the
more beautiful as one hears 1t oftener.
Zoe Fulton and Venise Morris. as Merce-
des and Frasquita. made the best Of
minor roles.

be overlooked in whatever of success was

audience.

rying off the eggs or the larvae In
the absence of hard rain every week

about a week-and in the absence of
any thorough flushing of the drains in

one or two tablespoonfuls OF kero-

ACTIVE LIVER AND BOWELS. MILLIONS
OF FOLKS KEEP FEELING GOOD
WITH CASCARETS.

One must keep the bowels clean.
Do it just the same as you keep your
skin clean. Not by severe applica-
tons, applied at rare intervals. But
by gentle and regular efforts. It pays
immensely.
Many people dread physic. They
think of castor oil, of salts and ca
thartics. They shrink from the after
effects-griping and weakness. So
they postpone the dose until they
are costive or bilious. Then they do
the cleaning in heroic way. That
is all wrong.
Cascarets are gentle laxative. They
are just as effective as anything else
and more natural. And they ara
pleasant candy. They are made to
carry with you. Take one just as soon
as you need it. You'll know. The
result is your bowels are always ae-
