confidence of the New Woman may well
be doubted Hers is a high ideal, in
which, moreover, men are putting in
creasing faith, and TO which they are
giving increasing allegiance but, when
ell is said, it was perhaps not amiss TO
sound a note of warning and doubt
among the paeans of headlong ap-

accompanied the progress OF The Cause.
The reader passes with the High
Priestess through all its enthusiasms,
programmes and "-isms," down to sex

ton of a certain pathological play, to
be brought up short by the atavism OF
the High Priestess's daughter, who
falls in love with an average young
man at tango tea, and insists on
worshipping and marrying him in the
old, headlong way. II may be added, in
conclusion, that Benham, the western

signifies the end of news dispatch.
For this is, not so much n newspaper
story, as a story with newspaper in
it-a paper that started to tell the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the truth. so long as it was news, but
whose editor was as flint to the blan-
dshments of theorists. At the end Of
the book we leave the paper doing well,
and with its indignant advertisers re-
turning to its columns and their grow

ever: A fashionable clergyman, who,

Annapolis People Should Learn TO

The symptoms of kidney trouble are
many. Disordered kidneys often
excrete thick, cloudy, offensive urine,
full of Sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by sensation of scald-
ing. The back may ache headaches
and dizzy spells may occur and the
victim is often weighted down by a
feeling of languor and fatigue. Ne
glect these warnings and there is
danger. Delay often proves fatal.
You can use no better endorsed kidney
remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here's Annapolis proof of their merit.
Mrs. James Thomas, 244 Prince
George ST., Annapolis, says: Il was
subject to dizzy and nervous spells and
my back and head ached intensely.
My kidneys were weak and caused all
the trouble. Doan's Kidney Pills
brought immediate relief. Another

Musical Comedy Coming to the Colonial
Theatre.

Your old friend Pat White the fa-
nous Irish comedian, will bring plenty
OF music, frolic, good humor and good
things in his merry metropolitan
musical comedy entitled casey in So
ciety," which is booked to appear at
the Colonial, Saturday night.
Pat White himself will appear in
the stellar role Michael Casey, re-
sourceful and witty Irishman, who
makes capital use of splendid material
in the fun making line. Casey is a
real live character who says and
does things that are really funny and
ingratiates himself into the hearts of
his auditors from start to finish.
The piece runs along to the accompani-
ment of first rate series of singing
numbers and a generous amount of
effective comedy business in which the
entire strength of the company is in
trodueed and each player seems to be
fitted to his or her respective part.
There are many pretty and clever
singing and dancing girls, and the cos
tunes and scenery are very elaborate
lending an effective back ground to
the action of the comedy.
Beauty and talent will be imperso
mated by Miss Anna Grant, dashing,
handsome, young woman, brimful of
style and vivacity; Miss Madeline
Kingsland, "a clever ingenue-soubrette
Miss Marjorie Mack, prima donna
with a remarkably good soprano
voice; Miss Minnie Crawford, ver-
satile comedienne and song and dance
artist; The Great Alvora, the well
known terpsichorean artist; Mr..
Tommy O'Neill, a clever all around
comedian and a famous exponent of
the art of self defense; The Variety
Four, peerless quartette, and mum
ber of other performers who will in
troduce their specialties.
