FASCINATING CALVE, The Greatest Singer of the Day Acknowledges Her Indebtedness to Paine’s: Celery Compound, =, Fimma Calve has attained a success unprece- dented in the annals of lyric art. To repeat the story of her triumph is needless. Her superb voice, ber fascinating balf-oriental dances, her caressing gestw her bh irresistible mirth—these, and the indeseribeble something more, make up the dazzling personation by which the artist has made her name famous in every part of the world. Her marvelous artist temperament has made her a great actress, but this brings its own price, and as great hearts know great griefs, great temperaments must know great nervous strain, consequently there are periods of ne! tion and un audiences a clreumstances. Calve’s absolute reliance on Paine’s celery com- pound at all such times of low nervous energy appears in the following letter: BOSTON, Mass., March, 1897. 1 am convinced that Paine’s celery compound is the greatest nerve strengthener that can be obtained. I cam vouch for its wonderful health- giving power. to forget these extenuating EMMA CALVE. ‘y great change for the worse in health is in sat once betrayed by a loss of weight and a pinched thinning of the face. On the other hand, a gain in weight up to a certain point goes hand in hand with an Improvement in all other essentials of health, and notably an improvement in the color and amount of the blood. One of the surest tests of the health- capabilities of Paine's celery compound is the rapld increase in weight and the increased ruddi- ness of the blood that Invariably follows its use. It clears the skin, makes the excretory, purifying functions, performed by the bowels, kidneys and the skin regular and thorough. ‘The improvement in looks from taking this great restorative is not a mere matter of idle vanity, but the sign of healthier processes all over the body. Many a parent, wife and husband have watched with growing surprise and joy some list- less, white-blooded, feeble relative gaining, under the help of Paine’s celery compound, flesh, color and wholesomeness of mind and body. Not only is there a decided gain in the general health from the use of Paine’s celery compound, but such disorders as sick headaches, rheumatism, nétiralgia, kidney disease and nervous debility in- variably yield to the vigorous building up of the health that this great remedy never fails to bring about. Increased appetite, ready capacity to digest food and the final cure of stomach disorders, bowal ditiiculties and nervous derangement follow the use of Paine’s celery compound. As a prudent man insures his house against a contingéney of fire, however remote, so persons feeling “run down” and tired should take pre- cautions agutnst serfous breaking down in health by building up securely the strength and vigor of the entire system by means of Palne'’s celery ‘compound. CHANGES IN SENTIMENT Baptism Discussed by Members of the Baptist Ccn sress, Immersion Not Decmed by All a Pre- requisite to the Lord’s Supper— Old Doctrine Opposed. CHICAGO, November 17.—“Is Baptism a Prerequisite to the Lord's Supper?” was the tcpic discussed last night at the fif- teenth annual meeting cf the Baptist con- gress, now being held in this city. The positior. taken by Dr. O. P. Gifford of Buf- falo and Dr. R. H. Conwell of Philadel- phia, two of the most eminent divines in the denomination, indicated a decided change of sentiment among Baptists on the subject of communion. Never perhaps in the history of the Baptist denomination has so important a doctrine been stricken down on such short notice. Theodore M. Banta of Brooklyn declared that he had been a Baptist for forty years and for sixteen years was a close commu- nionist. “I have studied the question carefully, said Mr. Banta, in conclusion, “and I ha read all the close communion tracts and tracts of the American Baptist Publication Society, and as a corsequence of my read- ing I have come to the conclusion that 1 have been wrong. I stand here, tonight op- posed to close communion. What is the purpose of the Lord’s supper? To bring to our remembrance the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To do this it is not necessary that the communicant should first be immersed or baptized. It is rot Christian, and when we insist to the contrary we mistake the shadow for the substance.”” Rev. Dr. O. P. Gifford of Buffalo sala: “We challenge the assumption that the New Testament does furnish us with the model of the church; that the model of the church was finished in Corinth or Rome or Ephesus; that the practice of the church in the first century is a common law, and all departures from the practice savor of sedition and anarchy. The essense of the Lord’s supper is in the power to discern the Lord’s body. Immersed men who fail to discern the Lord's body don’t observe the Lord's supper. Unimmersed men who do discern the Lord's body do observe the Lord’s supper.” Dr. Gifford quoted liberally from Dr. A. Hz. Strong's article on “The Unconscious Assumption of Communion Polemics,” and reached the conclusion that it is’ often the serious misfortune of able and honest men that they unwittingly argue upon premises which, when formally stated, they would unhesitatingly repudiate. Dr. Cornwell of Philadelphia took the same position. He declared that not only was baptism not a prerequisite to the Lord's supper, but, on the contrary, it was an ordinance peculiarly adapted to the needs of the erring and imperfect. Dr. Theodore A. K. Gessler of Lake Hop- atcong, N. J., declared that baptism wos not even a church ordinance, and that Bap- tists had no right to dictate who should ait at the Lord's table. Spirituality, and not conformance to the church ordinances, he maintained, was the divine the Lord's Supper, aca Rev. Dr. Lofton of Nashville, Tenn., in- sisted un baptism as a prerequis ‘com- eae prerequisite to com. Rev. J. W. Conley of St. Paul ti somewhat different view, and sitwoueats parently unwilling to let go of the old dene trine, indirectly repudiated it. ——_—__ THE REPORT DISCREDITED. Dr. Rooker Disputes Accuracy of Cablegram From Rome. = The attention of Rev. Dr. Rooker, sec- retary to Archbishop Martinelli, was this afternoon called by a Star reporter to a story recently cabled to this country from Rome to the effect that when the pope found the name of Archbishop Keane at the head of the list of those selected by the council held some time ago in the United States as first, second and third choice, respectively, for the vacant see of New Orleans, his holiness struck the name of the archbishop from the list. Dr. Rooker pronounced the sto: told in the cablegram as untrue in every particu: lar, and said that Archbishop Keane re- Gye Gs name from the list, and re- ‘used to low it to be considere: - ee with the office. eee n reply to questions, Dr. Rooker sai that unless there is a special meeting ar the propaganda in the course of a few days, there will, he thought, be no appoint- ment for New Orleans before the middle of next month. It is considered as certain tkat either Bishop Maes of Covington, Ky., or Bishop Hestin of Natchez, Miss., will receive the honor, as they were in the list with Archbishop Keane and indorsed by the council. ee HUSBAND ACCUSED. Charge That a Comedian Sold His Wife's Clothing. Mrs. Ida Stetson, an actress, who says she is with the “Contented Woman” Com- pany, called at police headquarters three days ago and complained of the loss of $300 worth of wearing apparel. Detective Boyd, who investigated the case, learned that her husband, Walter Stetson, a comedian, had obtained the trunk containing the gar- ments from the hotel where the woman was Stopping. Two dresses worth $125 were sold by the husband for $9. Mrs. Stetson says she has not lived with him since April, and she believes he has gone to New York. Detective Boyd has recovered the property nd has a warrant for the arrest of t fiusband. ze It matters little what it is that you want —whether a situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the person who can fill your need.

At the meeting of the South Carolina Good Roads’ Association, the other day, an address was delivered by Professor J. A. Holmes, state geologist of North Carolina, in which he said that the bad roads of the south constitute an enormous mud and sand tax of not less than $5 per capita for every man, woman and child living in these states, and he added that the cost to the people of South.Carolina could not be less than $5,000,000 per annum. These figures may be a bit exaggerated, but the extra cost of hauling and traveling over the wretched roads of the south is something enormous, and that’s not the worst of it.
