At the Opera House.
On Tuesday evening at the opera
Iioubo Miss Florence Davis, support
ed by Mr. Elliott Dexter, presented
the romantic comedy entitled "The
Player Maid," to an audience that
almost filled the house.
Miss Davis is a pleasing actress,
and her support was'most excellent,
in fact each and every member of
the troupe deserve mention for the
splendid portrayal of the various
roles. .
The play was full of laugh produc
ing parts, as well as having a more
serious side, and the large audience
was pleased with the production as
was evidenced by the hearty cheers
of npproval and applause.
The costumes of the company were
faultless and caused much favora
ble comment.
No Poison in Chamberlain's Cough
Kemkdy.
From Napior New Zealand, Herald:
Two years ago the Pharmacy Hoard of
New South Wales, Australia, had au
analysis made of all the cough medi
cines that were sold to that market.
Out of the entire list they found only
one that they dociared was entirely free
from all poisons. This exception was
Chamberlain's Cough Eemedy, made by
the Chamberlain Medicine Company,
Das Moines, Iowa, U. 8. A. The ab
senoe of all narcotics makes this remedy
the safest and best that can be bad ; and
it is with a feeling of security that any
mother can give it to her little ones.
Chaiuberlnln's Cough Remedy is espe
cially reoommonded by its makers tor
coughs, colds, croup and whooping
cough. When taken in time It prevents
pneumonia. This remedy is for sale by

A Gentle Servant
ifi',iiw';iiii'iiiisii'iimir'iimtiininw
(Original.
Colonel Colinwood commanded the
th Haidarabad native Infantry. 'The
colonel was a large, florid man who
well illustrated the English proclivity
for not being able to learn from others.
His father bad been a small tradesman
ln London who ln some way had put a
member of the cabinet under obligation
to him and the obligation was repaid
by a commission for the son. Nearly
all the young man's brother officers
were gentlemen born, and many of
them younger sons of nobles. Colin
wood was snubbed for twenty years,
and as soon as he was promoted to the
command of a regiment commenced a
systematic snubbing of every officer
beneath him In rank excepting those
connected with the nobility.
The colonel was especially bard on
his servants. He seemed to consider
any servant as a necessary evil and a
native Indian servant sb a worm of tbo
dust. Among those who attended him
were an Irishman named Malony and
a native named Haroutune. Malony
treated all natives as his master treat
ed his inferiors. Haroutune was very
different from both the colonel and the
Irishman. He was as gentle as a wom
an. He was married to a soft eyed
young Indian, and they bad three chil
dren, on whom they both doted. They
were very frugal, their one supreme
object being to accumulate something
for their little ones.
One day Colonel Colinwood missed a
valuable diamond that he had bought;
expecting to make a display with it
when he returned to England.. The on
ly two persons who had access to the
room where It was kept were Malony
and Haroutune. The colonel, who bad
perfect confidence ln Malony, had Ha
reutnne arrested, and the courts ln the
neighborhood were so afraid of the au
tocratic soldier that he bad little trou
ble ln having the Indian convicted.
Haroutune was sent to prison to serve
a term of fifteen years.
Not long after the loss of the dia
mond Malony left the colonel's service
to return to the British Isles. Eight
years later Colinwood, having been in
valided home, found his former servant
living "ln clover." Setting detectives
on his track, the colonel unearthed the
fact that he bad disposed of a valuable
diamond, and his prosperity dated
from the sale. Colinwood, finding it to
his interest to accept the remainder of
the thief's fund on condition that he
would not prosecute, made the compro
mise. A few years after this the colonel re
turned to India with a wife and two
little children. He debated the matter
as to what be should do- ln making
amends to Haroutune and decided that
to Bay anything about the mistake
would place him in an unpleasant posi
tion. Haroutune now had but a few
years to serve. Besides, be was noth
ing but. a low caste native, and a pris
on was as good a place for blm as any
where else. So the colonel concluded
to do nothing in the way of Justice.
Meunwhlle Haroutune was languish
ing ln prison. He was so gentle ln his
manner that one of the prison officials
took' him into his service. This gave
the poor fellow a great deal of liberty.
Not long before his term expired a
snake charmer gave an exhibition at
the prison, and Haroutune saw him
perform. Among other things, the
snake charmer would place a bird ln
the same apartment with a snake. On
Its master's order the snake would
steal up to the bird and strangle It
One day when Colonel Colinwood
was at dinner with some friends he
remarked that the time for the expira
tion of the man who had stolen his
diamond must have arrived. Some of
the party said that the natives were
prone to take revenge for punishment
and it behooved the colonel to be on
his guard. Colinwood declared that If
be were Inclined to fear any Indian he
certainly would not fear Haroutune,
who was more woman than man. Had
the colonel realized that the prisoner,
who had served fifteen years for an
offense of which be knew himself to
be innocent; .that he bad come out of
prison to find his wife and children,
having been deprived of bis support,
had succumbed and were all dead
had the colonel known this be might
have feared that even a werm will
turn. Mrs. Colinwood. did not share
her husband's want of faith ln Indian
revenge and shuddered.
The very next day Elsie Colinwood
was found dead ln the garden. The
children were permitted to play there,
since the place was surrounded by a
high wall. The little brother who made
the discovery said that he bad seen a
snake pass from a tree on- to the gar
den wall. There was no mark on the
body, though the throat gave evidence
of strangulation.
A month later the boy was found
dead ln his bed with no more marks on
him than had been found on his sister.
The mother, on the verge of Insanity
at her loss, besought ber husband to
resign his position and return to Eng
land. He promised to do so, but be
fore be could make his arrangements
his wife had met a fate similar to that
of her children. The distracted man
followed her to her grave and com
pleted his preparations to leave a coun
try that bad become a horror to him.
The night before he was to sail he was
awakened by a choking sensation and,
grasping what was colled about bis
neck, tore it sway and threw It to the
other ' side of the room. The next
rooming a servant went to awaken
him and found his dead body terribly
swollen. He had been bitten on the
hand by one of the most deadly snakes
