the headliner. She retains her old
time enthusiasm and magnetism, and
her songs are good, but she's a little
shy on costumes-she wears only

in the audience get sore. Among her
song hits are "Who Put the Ham in

| ManteIl, and he lent to his role a
remarkable distinction.
Miss Hamper gave a rather unusual
Lady Macbeth.
1t is rare that we find a Shakes

young and charming, and this may
account to q large extent for her
unique Interpretation. In any event,
her portrayal gave evidence OF art

Fritz Leiber made a most interest
ing AIacdun-and, as a matter of fact,
won nearly as much applause as the
star.
The rest of the players all gave a
welI-polished performance.
Much credit is due the stage man
ager, who handled the shifting Of the
fifteen settings so capably that the
play was over before II O'Clock. One
of the most constant causes for COM
plaint against the Shakespearean
drama is on account OF bad stage
management which delays the many
changes of scenes so that the play
becomes tiresomely long. No better
stage management in the case of
Shapespearean drama, has ever been
displayed in Washington than last
night.

THE MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making OF this great
medicine for wonan's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
tn extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It il the wonderful combination OF
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in it, preparation
which has made this famous medicine
10 successful in tho treatment OF
female Ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use OF
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
lishinG attest to its virtue.

The same reasoning may be ap-
piled to liabilities with equal
force. Blackstone the great legal
authority admitted that "There
is no foundation in nature or nat
ural law, why a set Of words upon
parchment, should convey the
dominion of land.
When Edward the l sent his
commission to inquire into the
existing franchises in 1878, Earle
Warenne flung a rusty sword on
the table and cried. "Sirs, this is
nv warrant. By the sword our
fathers won their lands when they
came over with the conqueror, and

The rich will give large sums Of

ing and shelter when we are well
