Ezra Kendall's new plav, -The
Substitute," is a coined v drama with
a plot that (ibooJd satisfy;, the most
exacting, but with enough of comedy
to keep tne interest irom nagging.
As its name indicates it is a etorv
prowinj out of aniocideut of the
civil war, a friend and neighbor be
coming the "substitute" fur. the
young husband and father who is
drafted, and whose death before the
substitute's return home results in
making him not only a substitute
for the war but also thereafter for
life by his marrying the young wid
ow and inereoy becoming a eubsti
tute rather to the child. The facts
upon which the story is founded in
vest it with an added interest, some
of the incidents which furnish the
comedian an opportunity for the dis
play oi a higher character oi work
than he has heretofore done, but also
suggests situations and climaxes
which will make its production at
Harper s theatre this evening an in'
teresting event.

Miss Crystal Thornton, an actress.
rnhmitted to a peculiar surgical opera
tioo at Roosevelt hospital Nov. 22.
Miss Thornton, whose borne is in Cali
fornia, is a handsome Tonne woman.
but in her opinion her appearance Buf
fered through what she thought was a
deformed ncse, hot which others re
garded as nothing mora than a pro
nounced Rom an nose. She determined.
however, to have the nose reduced to a
normal size and consulted Dr. Charles
McBurney with the view of having him
perform the operation.
The surgeon, it is said, advised her
that if the operation was performed a
scar might remain, which would per
haps be more objectionable to her than
her prominent nose. Miss Thornton
declared that she preferred the scar to
having so much nose and renewed her
request that the operation be perform
ed. The patient was placed under the
influence of ether, incisions were made,
the skin laid away on either aide and
part of the bone removed.
The wound was treated with anti
septics, the akin replaced, and in dueJ
tune tne patient went home. She vis
ited the hospital again two days later,
when the wound was found to be heal
ing nicely. Miss Thornton has since
that time remained at home, and un
less some unforeseen accident occurs
will in time make her appearance in
public with a symmetrical nose, In har
mony with the rest of her features.

A false left hand which Roundsman
Charlie Wendcl found at the exit of
Manhattan field after the football game
on Thanksgiving day awaits a claim
ant at the Washington Heights police
station.
It la incased in a dark tan kid glove
and looks at first glance like a keenly
arrered real band.
The theory is advanced by several
members of the police force that the
dummy was the property of some in
genious member of the light fingered
gentry, whose perfect hand was under
bis clothing during the football gam'
bols, but plying its chosen calling all
the more effectively. It is the general
impression that the hand was wrenched
from its fastenings on the wrist of the
owner in the crowd as he passed out of
the field. Sew York Herald.

memory failed; I became despon

troublesome cold and experienced
great annoyance from chronic sore

After a brief course of the Stack

notice an entire change for the bet

gradually but surely dispelled until
today I am glad to 'say that I feci
better than I have, in years. The
