THINGS DRAMATIC.
"Young Mrs. WInthrop” was repro
duced at matinee yesterday by local tal
ent to a very good house. The arhateurs
who so successfully put it on last Thurs
day night weli sustained the reputation
made on that occasion. It is easily one of
the best amateur performances ever seen
In Birmingham, and Mr. Hoffstadt Is to
be congratulated in getting together such
excellent talent.
Ward and Vokes.
Ward and Vokes as “Percy and Har
old" have probably caused more genu
ine laughs, more favorable newspaper
comment than any team In the theatrics)
profession. For years with that great
amusement actor, Tony Pastor, they re
ceived the best possible schooling, which
brought out their great store of rich hu
mor and spontaneous wit. Burlesque
was their fort, and an evening spent
hearing and seeing them and their splen
did company in "A Bun on the Bank” is
one of the pleasant things in store for
theater-goerB. The piece is magnificently
mounted, and twenty-two people are re
quired In the production. Their first ap
pearance will occur next Thursday, Oc
tober 10. Prominent In the company with
Ward and Vokes are Mr. and Mrs. T. Wll
mot Eckert. They will be remembered
by all music loving people In Birming
ham.
"Othello.”
Mr. Louis James will be seen here Fri
day night, October 11, in a magnificent
production of "Othello.” This greatest of
the Shakespearean tragedies will be one
of the most important features of Mr.
James' repertoire this season. It will
doubtless be pretty generally admitted
that Mr. James Is the foremost living ex
ponent of this part upon the American
stage. The position which he holds he
has won th'ough long years of careful
study and frequent Impersonation. As
he has grown in the prime of his artistic
career he has broadened his conception
and enlarged its treatment of this noble
Shakespearean creation, and his pre
eminence in the role is not more the result
of personal fitness and temperamental
adaptation than of close study and artis
tic attrition. Few of the Shakespearean
characters have been given such various
Interpretations as has the title personage
of this tragedy. On the early English
and American stage the actors loved to
dwell and enlarge upon the native quali
ties of the moor. Every other passion
was subordinated to that of Jealousy and
revenge. To this day the elder Salvini is
absolutely faithful to the barbaric possi
bilities of the character. The, modifica
tions which were made in obedience to
the requirements of modern taste had
their most potent examples in Edwin
Booth and Lawrence Barrett. The latter
especially gave to the character a depth
of humanity and tenderness of love which
the old masters would have regarded as
emasculation. Mr. James has made a
careful study of the nativity, the racial
characteristics, the Shekespearean in
tent and the consistent elements of the
character, and has reflected much upon
the evolution of the stage Othello. It has
been his aim to preserve the native qual
ities, hut to subdue them even in the
heat of paBsion into a measure of appro
priate relation to the urbane environ
ments the dramatist has given the char
acter. He confined himself to no school,
no traditional limits or extravagances,
but has conceived and realized a splendid
characterization that at once appeals to
popular approval and refined taste and
.Is In no way In conflict with the laws of
consistency or the exactions of art.
Saturday night Mr.' James will play
"Virglnlus.”
Thomas W. Keene.
Thomae W. Keene, who is a thorough
American and a great lover of all true
art and worthy literature, is a great ad
mirer of the poet Poe, and he hap been
foremost in an effort made by those who
reverence the name and cherish the fame
of that brilliant and erratic song-bird to
raise a fund for the purpose of buying
and preserving the Poe cottage, which is
in danger the way of all else that con
nects the present with the past in this
hurrying and business-immersed nation
of ours. That the promoters of the pro
ject will succeed is reasonably certain, as
a number of -prominent professional peo
ple, acting on Mr. Keene's Initiative, have
taken the matter up, contributing in
cash and giving their services In beneltt
performances for the fund. Mr. Keene's
season has opened auspiciously In New
York, and during the winter he will he
seen here in one of the great tragic roles
In which he has won fame.
The Electropoise Was Used With
Its Usual Good Effects.
VVill Do All That Is Claimed for It
and Much More.
I have a near neighbor named Bene
field. who is a fisherman and lias a large
family. Sometime since he went up a
marshy creek some distance on a fishing
trip and was gone three or four days,
being accompanied by two of his boys.
On his return home from tills trip one of
the boys was very sick, and had a high
fever and a bowel trouble. He went to
bed Immediately on getting home, and
was extremely III, not being able to move
himself in bed for twenty-four hours,
and was in a very critical condition.
I told Mr. Benefield that If he would
not laugh at me that I would put the
Klectropolse on him and cure him. He
said that he would be glad to have me
use it, so I applied it with plenty of Ice,
and in half an hour was able to note a
change, while he continued to improve all
night. In a day or two he was entirely
well, and has been ever since.
We believe that It will do all that is
claimed for it. and are willing to make
an affidavit to that efTect. Mr. and’ Mrs.
Benefield will willingly testify to the
above. Yours truly,
F. C. BKKS.

THE HARTON PERJURY CASE.
He says the Warrant Was Issued for the Pur
pose of Prejudicing His Suit.
The State Herald endeavored prior to
the publishing of the Constitution article
yesterday to find Mr. H. M. Harton,
against whom the article charged a war
rant had been Issued by the Atlanta offl
elals for perjury, but he was not in the
city.
Yesterday both Mr. Harton and his at
torney, Mr. I'arsons, called at the State
Herald office and requested that the fol
lowing statement be given the public:
Mr. Harton says that he did Have a
land deal with Mr. McKee of Dawson
vllle, Ga.. In 1893; that he obtained an op
tion on a certain piece of land; that after
giving the option Sir. McKee was in
formed that the property was worth
more, ar.d determined to call the deal off;
that McKee did sell the land to the gen
tlemen —wied in the Constitution artl
cle. Having made a square trade wfth
McKee and offered him the money on
the option and it was refused, he brought
suit, as stated, against McKee and the
purchasers.
That on the day the Atlanta papers
announced that a warrant had been is
Eqet} against him he had
{aiing testimony In the case and was at
tending the exposition, and having bus
iness in Chat(an5o'ga he left on the 2
o'clock afternoon train for that place.
Mr. Harton said he had not read the
papers and was not apprised of the fact
that a warrant had been issued until
he returned to Birmingham Sunday and
his attention was called to the matter
by Mr. Parsons; that he arranged at once
for a bond and left on the early morning'
train Monday for Atlanta, where he gave
himself up to the officials and was at
once released on his own recognizance.
Mr. Harton says he sees no reason why
the warrant should have - been issued,
unless It was to prejudice his suit, as
there is not a shadow of proof to sustain
the charge. He is very much chagrined
over the matter and says that no charges
that may be brought against him will
deter his pushing his suit to a finish
and that he will spare no pains to obtain
Justice and secure his rights.

A VIGOROUS CHARGE,
Hut the Grand Jury Failed to Indict Blind
Tigers.
Tuskegee, Oct. 7.—(Special.)—Circuit
court convened last Monday, Judge Den
son presiding. The charge to the grand
jury by Judge Denson was pronounced
by those who heard it as being the b;st
that has ever been delivered here. He
charged the jury especially to J11"13;
those parties who are running "blind
tigers" here and at other plflces In the
county, and that taking out United
States license was prlma facie evidence
of guilt. There were twenty-two true
bills returned by the grand jury, though
none against parties for running ’’bond
tigers." They can now continue their
business another six months with the
satisfaction of knowing that they will
not be interfered with.

another upon which he was standing,
knocking him off. Several <'“V" ^

failed to prove what was alleged in his
complaint. The judge gave the genera]
charge to the defendant.

GtN. SHELLEY’S GRATITUDE
He Says He Is Not a Candidate for Governor.
Worried About the Breach in
the Party.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 8.—(Special.)—
Captain Black's relndorsement In the
Tenth Georgia district Is regarded by
southern democrats here as proof that
the cause of free coinage is not likely
to dirupt the democratic party next
year—certainly not in the south.
Gen. C. M. Shelley will not be a candi
date In the gubernatorial race in Ala
bama next year. He is very much con
cerned about the success of his party
in the state, and that the breach in its
ranks must be closed to insure success
in a presidential year.
That is more to him than his own can
didacy for any honors his party can be
stow. He feels grateful for the many
kind notices of the state press. General
Shelley spoke hopefully today of demo
cratic unity and success In Alabama
next year.

Washington. Oct. 8.—(Special.)—There
‘was a. quiet but impressive marriage ser
vice here at neon today at the home of
Col. and Mrs. John B. Brownlow. The
contracting parties were Mr. C. A. Bens
cater, assistant general passenger agent
of the Southern railway, headquarters
at Knoxville, Tenn., and Miss Lucille
Boynton, niece of Colonel Brownlow.
The bride is a beautiful blonde, with light
golden hair, and Is the oldest daughter
of the late Dr. Daniel T. Boynton of
Tennessee and a granddaughter of the
late Senator William (J. Brownlow of
Tennessee. In her lovely wedding gown
of dark blue, with small round hat of
the same color, carrying a beautiful bo
quet of violets and lilies of the valley,
the bride entered the room resting on the
arm of the groom, both of whom were
without attendants. A tiny flower girl,
in white and pink, preceded the couple
into the parlor and stood at the right
hand of the bride, as Dr. Perry of St.
Andrew's spoke the Episcopal marriage
service. The newly married couple leave
on a wedding journey, and will take In
Niagara, New York, Boston, the north
and through Canada. After the bridal
tour the couple expect to reside in Knox
ville, Tenn. Miss Edenn Boynton, who
returns at once to Tennessee, looked
charming in black silk and pink chiffon,
paints and clusters of pink and white
cosmos blooms, and decorated the par
lors and bay windows in which the
couple were married. The bride's uncle.
Col. John B. Brownlow, gave her away.
The marriage was attended by a large
gathering of prominent people from all
Over the south and west.
Another Mining Disaster.
Wllkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 8.—A terrible
explosion has occurred In the Dorrance
mine. ' It is said that forty miners are
in the pit. and there is no telling how
many are dead and. burned. It may be
some hours before positive information
can be obtained.
Nine men only were In the mine when
the explosion occurred. Five of these
were taken out at 10 o’clock tonight. All
were burned and injured, but only one
fatally. He is a Polander named Michael
Morris. The cause of the explosjon is
purely conjecture, and will probably
never be known unless one of the miss
ing men lives to tell It. They were sepa
rated from the five who escaped, and the
explosion occurred in the portion of the
mine where they were at work. The sup
position is that they touched off a body
of gas with their mine lamps.

A. W. CARTWRICHT.
Mobile. Ala., June 5, 1895.
For two years I have been a great suf
fered from the "Chagres Fever" and the
diseases of Central America. For several
months I have been under treatment by
physicians of New Orleans and Mobile,
with no improvement. My liver was nin^
inches enlarged, limbs and stomach
swollen, and no prospects of getting bet
ter. I then gave the Electj-opoise a
chance to snatch me out of the grave,
which it has done very pleasantly and
very certainly.
It broke up my fevers, night sweats,
rheumatism, reduced my liver to a nat
ural size, restored my appetite and nat
ural sleep, and I am ready and able for
hard work, as of old.

Mr. Wilson and Miss Thigpen Wed—Cotton
Coming in Freely.
Greenville.Oct. 7.—(Special Correspond
ence.)—No change in the weather con
ditions to report for the week, so the good
work of gathering the fleecy staple goes
on under the most favorable conditions,
and as a further consequence full prices
are being paid by our cotton buyers.
The following remark made by an old
darky to one of our merchants tells the
story of cotton at a fair price and “liv
ing at home.” He said: "Boss, dis bale
pays up my recount fer dls year.” Doubt
less this was his first experience In pay
ing his "recount" the year it was made.
He has a good deal of company.

Saved His Life
—by a fortunate dis
covery in the nick of
time. Hundreds of
persons suffering
fr o in consum ption
have had the pro
gress of the disease
Stopped, and have
been brought back to
life and health by the
“Golden Medical
[Discovery" of Dr.
Pierce.
Years ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, now chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y.,
recognizing the fact that consumption teas
essentially a germ disease, and that a rem
edy which would drive the genus and their
poisons from the blood would cure consump
tion, at last found a medicine which cured 98
per cent, of all cases, if taken in the earlier
stages of the disease.
The tissues of the lungs being irritated by
the germs and poisons in the blood circulat
ing through them, the germs find lodgment
there, and the lungs begin to break down.
Soon the general health begins to fail, and
the person feels languid, weak, faint, drowsy
and confused.
This is the time to take Dr. Pierce’s Gold
en Medical Discovery; it drives the germs
and poisons from the blood, and has a sooth
ing effect upon the dry cough. In cases of
bronchitis the “Discovery" is invaluable.
“Golden Medical Discovery" increases the
amount and quality of the blood, thus invig
orating and fortifying the system against dis
ease and builds up wholesome flesh and
strength after wasting diseases, as fevers
Jmeumonia, grip and other debilitating af
ections. —
Jno. M. Hite, of Au
dubon, Audubon Co., /a.,
says: “I took a severe
cold which settled ou my
lungs and chest, and I
suffered intensely with
it. I tried several of
our best physicians here
and they gave up all
hopes of my recovery,
and thought I would
have to die. I would
cough and spit blood
for hours, and I was pale
and weak. I was greatly
discouraged when I be
J. M. Hite, Esq.
inc use 01 me dis
covery, ’ but I soon got
better. It has been five years since I took it and
have had no return of that trouble since.”
