her living in seclusion with
her lover, in a country-house near
Paris. three months after the events
narrated IN the preceding act.
Alfred accidentally discovers that

her houses and property IN Paris. In
order TO maintain this Establishment,

During his absence, his father, who

of the world, but will be ruinous to
his family, inasmuch as his sister

her affection and happiness for her
lovers sake. and returns alone TO
Paris, wither Alfred. overwhelmed
with despair when he discovers her
flight, follows her. We r then
transported to a saloon in the hotel
of Flora, one of Violetta's former
friends. during a festival given by
the fair mistress of the mansion.
There Alfred again meets Violetta,
now under the protection of the Bar
on Dauphol. and being unaware OF
the generous motive which made her
desert him, he overwhelms her with
reproaches, and filings a rurse con-
tanning money at her feet in the
of the company. Degrad-
ed and heartbroken, the unfortun-
ate yioletta returns home to die;
and in the last act we find the sad
romance of her life drawing to It's
close. Alfred, too late. learns the
truth, and discovers the sacrifice she
has made to secure his happiness.
Penetrated with grief and shame, ne
hastens, with his father, to comfort

Nearly everybody in Paterson Z either

all his life. He began his buiness career
at the age of ten, as a clerk. and 10 now
among the city's most progressive mer-
chants and best liked citizens.
For a year or more. according to Mr..
DeBlock's statement. he had suffered
great distress from stomach trouble and
failing to find relief through the ordinary
treatment. he finally r~esorted to Tanlac.
The fret bottle helped him so much that
he obtained another. then another and 30

perience In his own words. Here Is his

such as I have suffered from, IS concerned
I consider Tanlac without an equal. II
put me squarely on my feet months ago
and I an staying there. About a year
before taking Tanlac my stomach sud-
denly went wrong and i commenced to
suffer almost ~unbearable pain. The trou-
BILE was. doubtless due to my hasty and
careless eating. Anyway from that time
on until Tanlac set me right i simply
suffered agony from Indigestion.
MY stomach was as sour as vinegar and
I suffered all the time from gastrtis. My
appetite left me and what little food ] did

about Tanlac I had abandoned nearly all

a trial. After taking the medicine tor
about ten days I could see my first ray OF

anything I want and never feel an ache

IDENTIFY of his chances of being cleo
ted United States senator yesterday,
following his trip over the States
oyster grounds. The governor was
asked if he took full account of
the, women's vote in his prediction.
He replied: The women are sup
posed to have been after me eve

The governor said he expected to
have $500 majority in Hudson L
500 in Essex and nearly as much in
Passaic. He said Bergen might go
against him by a small margin, and
that in both Atlantic and Camden
he would spring a surprise by the
vote he will get. He said to a cou-
pie OF Republicans: You fellows
will vote against me. but you will do
it i'm "a half-hearted way, and that
spirit is what is going to take your
influence away from the doubtful
voter all over the state"
The governor manifested a Keen
interest in the great oyster industry
of Cumberland county, and said its
ice is the result of wise laws

QUESTIONABLE JUSTICE

BY sentencing five former Cab
met Ministers and 4 general to
death for their share in the Asia
Minor disaster the revolutionary
government Of Greece has taken
a step which theoretically might
help to forward the cause OF inter
national peace. Often it has been
asserted that if those responsible
Tor war were called on to share
the risks Of war mobilization
would not be ordered So light
heartedly. This was the feeling
among those who would have cN-
ecuted the eX-Kaiser; this was
one OF the reasons given for the
assassination OF the Car.
But in the case OF the revolu-
tionary committee which has eX-
ecuted these five unfortunate
Greeks other motives than those OF
future peace appear to be involved
Gounaris and his associates who
Endorsed the Greek war in Asia
Minor did not initiate that poll
cy. Original responsibility for
the war between Greece and Tur-
