THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, Overwrought Nerves. As soon as a woman's nerves become excited by some feminine disorder, she loses control of her speech. She has no patience with anybody or anything. The ones she loves the best are the ones to whom she talks the meanest. Trifles light as air drive her almost frantic, She is worse than crazy, because she knows what she is doing and can’t help it. She doesn’t have hysteria and doesn’t have fainting She is nervous, horribly nervous. Does she get sympathy ¢ Oh, yes, she gets sympathy for awhile, but she acts so outrageously that everybody keeps out of her way as much as possible. After a while they begin to think she’s malicious and could do better if she tried real hard. he has turned her best friends against her. This woman is sick with about the most discouraging sickness women can have, and there is a person who understands her case better than any one else in the w rld. That person is Mrs. Pinkham. The nervousness comes from some derangement of the feminine organs, and is constantly fed and made worse by the constantly developing disease. Female diseases never get better of themselves. They must have proper treatment. Ordinary physicians do not know how to grapgle with these dis- eases of women. Out of the hundreds of thousands of women Mrs. Pinkham has cured, not one in five bundred tried her advice or her medicine until they had exhausted the ekill of their own physician, sometimes of several physicians. Mrs. Pinkham’s address is Lynn, Mass. Her advice is prompt and free to all suffering women. You may not know that your nervousness comes from female troubles. Your doctor may not know it. He may tell you it does not ; but does he cure you? Does he hel you any? Mrs. Pinkbam will tell you the truth about yourself, and you’ll believe her. Don’t throw your life’s appiness away and make oursgl[ unlpvab]g, when a little diligent heed to Mrs. Pinkham’s advice will drive away your nervousness by removing the cause of your trouble. Read carefully the letters from women Mrs. Pinkham has helped. . - A After thirty years of success in curing women’s ills, can you not believe it worth while to test the virtues of Lydia E.

Winthrop Lester En- tertains Her Numer- ous Friends. —_—— " For the First Time in Many Years the Mansion Is Illuminated and Gayety Rules the Hour. R R For the first time in many years the Hobart mansion was alight last evening and there were merry laughter and happy faces In the vast halls and apartments that had been quiet and dark for so long: Mrs. Winthrop E. Lester came back to the home of her giflhood last evening and several hundred of her friends assembled to greet her and dance the hours away. “The home was made beautiful for the occasion. In the great hall where the dance was given glant palms were grouped, making a most attractive back- ground. Besides the wealth of greenery which greeted the eye in all sides boughs heavily laden with cherry blossoms were | disposed with artistic effect. Especially was this the case in the dining hall, where | the boughs were fashioned into a tall and graceful tree. Mrs. Lester recelved her guests alone. She wore a dainty gown of white tulle over a pink silk foundation. About 10 o'clock the guests began to ar- rive and dancing was at once Inaugurated. At midnight an elaborate supper was served, the guests being seated at small tables. Those who enjoyed Mrs. Lester's hos- pitality were: Mr. and Mrs. W. B.

Accusations of perjury were freely made by Attorneys Herbert Choynski- and “Jake"” Samuels ip the trial of the suit of Mrs. Bernard Simon against her sister, Mrs. Samuel Rouda, which was conclud in Justice of the Peace Danlels” court yi terday. Mrs. Simon had introduced wit- nesses to prove that Mrs. Rouda had en- gaged her to nurse her during an illness Wwhich resulted from an accident on one of the Sutter-street cars. Other witnesses testified that Mrs, Simon was not present in the capacity of a nugge, but appeared to_be only a visitor. The husband and daughter of Mrs. Rouda testified that Mrs. Simon had not performed any services in the house at all. The daughter said that she had done the cooking and houséwork and the father had helped out some. he father of the two sisters swore that they had talked | of compromising the case for various sums, but other witnesses interposed a flat contradiction of this testimony. 1t was during the argument that Attor- ney Choynski accused some of the wit- nesses of having perjured themselves, and “Jake" Samuels, the attorney for the plaintiff, retorted in kind. Justice Daniels rapped for order and took the case under advisement. e SRS G SRS DUKE OF MANCHESTE BACK FRDMi‘DEL MONTE Eugene Zimmerman Says That the Syndicate Deal Is of Bemefit to California.

There can hardly be a more interesting of ShakKespeare in the hands of his inter- | preters upon the stage. Like the sacred | torch in the old Greek festivals, his gen | ius passes from hand to hand, often burn- | ing faintly, almost extinguished by mo- mentary clouds and exhalations, again flaming in its former splendor and kin- dling the heart of a nation with its divine radiance. The chain of torch bearers is unbroken frem Kemp and Burbage to Booth and Irving. Shakespeare’s Contemporaries. Richard Burbage is the first of the great | Bhakespearean tragic actors. His one con- { temporary rival in tragedy, Bdward Al- |leyne, seems to have devoted - himself | rather the performance of the great varts of Marlowe's plays, Faustus, the Jew of Malta and Tamburlaine. But | Burbage was associated with Shakespeare | from the beginning. He was the son of | James Burbage, the builder of “the Thea- | ter,” and from his early years a member of that company of actors which Shake- | speare joined and for which all his great | fi!n,\'s were written. In fact, Burbage may e said to have created all Shakespeare's | great tragic roles. He had already dis- tinguished himself by his performance of Kyd’'s ‘“Jeronimo,” but he eclipsed all earlier performances by his representa- tion of “Richard IIL.” "His fame in this | character became, indeed, national; | very landlord at Leicester, relating the incidents of Bosworth Field, confused the identities of Richard and the great actor Wwho represented him.

The note, it seems, passed through Shakespeare’'s hands and he avalled him- self of the invitation meant for his friend. But this practical joke made no breach in their friendship.

He was the original Ham- | let, and the queen's words of her son, |f ‘he’s fat and scant of breath,” are gen- erally supposed to refer to Burbage's portly figure. His greatest success, how- ever, is sald to have been attained in his impersonation of Othello. Burbage had some talent for painting, and It has been conjectured, though with- | cut sufficient evidence to warrant its as- sertion as a fact, that the engraving of Shakespeare prefixed to the first folio was taken from a portrait of the poet by his friend. William Kemp was the leading comedian | of Shakespeare's company. He succeeded | Tarleton, the Y, of Hamlet's eulogy, as the darling clown of the laughter-lov- | ing public. “That most comical Cavaliero, M. du Kempe,” a pamphleteer of the day calls him, “jest-monger and viceregent | general to the ghost of Dick Tarleton.” He was a famous dancer of jigs and singer of comic songs; but his fame rested chiefly on his extempore ‘‘gags.” This practice must have been most offensive to the careful art of Sha find him attacking it severely in Hamlet's address to the players. “Let those that play your clowr ays the prince, voic- ing no doubt the wrath of Shakespeare over manyan Impertinent intrusion, “speak no more than is set down for them; for there .be of them that will themselves laugh, to set on some quantity of barren spectators to laugh too, though in the meantime some necessary question of the | play be then to be considered; that's vil- | lainous, and shows a most pitiful ambition | in_the fool that uses it. | We know that Kemp played before Eliz- abeth with Shakespeare and Burbage in “two several comedies” on St. Stephen's day and Innocents’ day of 1594 What th plays were we have no means of know ing. Perhaps ore or both were ecarly cem- edies of Stakespeare. Kemp was the orig- | inal Peter in “Romeo and Juliet” and the original Dogberry in “Much Ado About | Nothing.” These are the only parts which | can be positively assigned to him. | Betterton | and the Actors of { ‘ - Restoration. | 'The great figure of Betterton towers | head and shoulders above the erowd of | actors who sprang upon the stage when | the Restoration threw open the the long-closed theaters. His excellence in his profession, his fine critical taste and his_high character raised him to the highest position cver held by an English actor. He was befriended by two mon- | archs, and Charles 1I lent him his corona- | tion robes to play a kingly part in. Dry- den allowed him a free hand In_pruning | his plays for the s 1ge; Bishop Tillotson | recefved him as a ,aest at his table, and | he became the father and insweuctor of a new generation of actors. Yet he spran; from the humblest rank. His father hnfi been an under-cook in the household of Charles I, and as a boy he was appren- ticed to a bookseller. But this bookseller had once been the keeper of the ward- robe at the Blackfriars Theater, and his tales of past glorles fired the young ap- prentice with emulative ambition. He ap- eared on the stage even before the estoration, and shortly after that event joined the company of Sir Willlam Dave- nant. Davenant was one of the few re- maining links with the golden age of the- aters. He had seen Taylor play the part the this play won the | ., and we | oors of | 18 & ever man acted.” This, In fact, was the judgment of all who saw him In Shakes- | peare’s masterplece. | “The last great actor of Betterton's school was the fam wit and epicure, | James Quin.
