ECZEMA The WDrlti';S Greatest Skin Torture Many Infants are Bom with Eczema It's the Only Thing Some Folks Have Left When They Die HE ONLY INFALLIBLE CURE 1S CUTICURA It is in the treatment of this most dis- tressing of torturing and disfiguring skin and scalp humoars, with loss of hair, that the Cuticura remedies have achieved their greatest success. Origi- nal in composition, scientifically com- pounded, absolutely pure, unchangeable in any climate, always ready, and agree- able to the most delicate, they present to those suftering from Eczema the most successful carativeof modern times. We know that this will be considered strong language by those acquainted with the character sad obstinacy of the disease under comsideration, but it is justified by innumerable successes where oll the | remedies and methods in vogue have failed to cure, and, in many cases, to relicve, evea. The first step in the treatment of the chronic forms is to remove the scales and crusts and soften the skin, by warm baths with Cuticura Soap. The scalp, ears, elbows, hands, ankles and feet will require frequently a thorough goaking in order to penetrate the thickened skin and crusts with which these parts are often covered. Dry carefully, and ap- ply Cuaticura Ointment, lightly at first, and where advisable spread it on pieces of soft cloth and bind in place. Take the Resolvent, pills or liquid, in medium doses.

Mr. Crane has a facial play that is story without words and a make up that inebriates. The homely wisdom and “gorse sense” that Harum deals in come with joyful conviction from the side of a droll ‘mouth built into a rosy, weather- beaten face, surmotnted by the sparse and sandy locks. That he should say of a young woman suffering from her own willfulness, “Trouble is good for her, like fleas are good for dogs; keeps 'em from brooding over being dogs,” seems dellg! fully natural, as well as the picturesqu stable phraseology in which he indulges. Mr. Crane wins sympathy all round for ery one is with him, for example, in his unsanctified horse deal th the deacon, the feeling rising to a reprobate hilarity when the sold pillar of the church, after a blasphemous drive behind the balky beast, turns up four hours late in front of Harum's office and One is with Mr. Crane, too, in the too rare moments of pathos, in his painting of the lovable side of the character, the sound, good heart of it. There can be no talk of methods in the connection, for the actor simply Is David Harum. The support is also notably strong in | places, though very weak in its heroine, Mary Blake. Miss Perdeta Hudspeth, in this distinctly important part, does every- thing possible to make the character unconvincing. She makes love as a nickel-in-the-slot machine might, if en- gaged in that interesting occupation, with | the proviso that the works also creaked. | But with Mary the contrary, and a stuffed General Wolsey (Frank Burbeck) the cast’s incompetence ends. The rest are’all adequate, and In the case of Charles Jackson, who gives a comical sketch of the chipper and consequential clerk, Chet Timson; = Earl Ryder, as the | hero, and Percy Brooke, in a clever por- trait of Harum’'s man of all work, are more than commonly effective. Kate Meek d Lofs Francis Clark contribute | leflec(lv ly as Aunt Polly and Widow Cul- om. The settings might be better, but there is a thunderstorm—with real rain—that | fills the bill completely. It should be | remembered that there is a Wednesday | BLANCHE PARTINGTON. Grand Opera-House. ! Tragedian MacLean reserved his best for his last when he chose to close his brilliant . engagement in this. city with Shakespeare's virile drama, “Julius Caesar.” There was a notable increase in the attendance last night, the addi- tion of Emmett Corrigan to the cast as- suring the success of the play, for Cas- sius, no less than Brutus, needs to be a star of the first magnitude. The Brutus of MacLean is the “noblest Roman of | them all” in very truth, It fits him bet- ter than anything he has yet undertaken, and his splendid physique and noble bear- ing express in flesh and blood the ideal that he was in our minds. Mr. Corrigan’s Cassius is the true article. In the conspiracy leading up to the assas- sination of Caesar, in the exultation of the conspirators in the senate chamber after the bloody deed had been done, and in the noted quarrel scene with Brutus he displayed the art of the true actor. No less worthy of praise for conscien- tious and sterling work Is the Marc An- | it oft with credit. tony of Herschel Mayall. The uniform excellence of the three leading characters was so great and delightful a surprise to the audience last night that they insisted on calling the trio before the curtain wher it fell on the third and fourth acts. Mr. Butler was an acceptable Caesar and the small part of Portia was portrayed with her usual charm by, Odette Tyler. Alcazar. The Alcazar Theater was packed to the doors last night on the first presentation of the farce, “The Man From Mexico,"” in which Willie Collier scored such a success. If the almost continuous laugh- ter that pervaded the house during the three acts was any criterfon of the suc. cess of its interpretation by the clever stock company there could be no doubt about it. It went with a swing and dash that was refreshing for a first night. Frank Bacon essayed the part of Ben. jamin Fitzhugh, the man, and carried It is a part just in his e and ;he-aid" not rias & p:in‘: He was very funny all through the piece and seemed to be in his happiest vein. Albert Morrison did a very clever plece of character work as Schmidt, the Ger. man poet, and kept the audience in roars of laughter. His dialect was perfect and his make-up artistic. The scene in the prison between him and Fitzhugh literally brought down the house. George Osbourne was, as usual, conscientious and reliabla as Colonel Majors, the friend, and John Armstrong made a hit as Timothy Cook, the deputy. W. G. Warren, Wilfrid Roger and J. Lester Wallack had parts that suited them.

His Cousin and Prince Ponia- | towski Object to His Presence. Henry J. Crocker is no longer a factor In the administration of the affairs of the Sterra Rallway Company. ers, in annual session yesterday, voted him out of the board of directors, a mem- ber of which he has been since the com- | pany was started, and elected in his place former Congressman Woods, who was im- | mediately installed. The rebuke, for such it is regarded, to the young capitalist was given with the ald of the stock of his millionaire cousin. Will H. Crocker, and that of the latter's brother-in-law, Prince Poniatowski, who | own the controlling interest in the road, And the last named made no pretense for | the dislodgment of the objectionable mem that they were displeased with his actions toward | them lately and are desirous of having harmony in the organization in which their capital is involved. Prince Poniatowski, president of the company, was unable to attend the meet- ing, so Vice President Will Crocker was called on to preside. That he and his cousin, who was also present, are not on the best of terms socia was evidenced in the treatment accorded the director by the vice president during the progress of the session. Not the slightest sign o recognition was exchanged by the two. In fact, Will Crocker seemingly ignored the presence of his relative, notwithstand- ing the fact that the latter, on two or that found a second among the other stockholders. EMBARRASSING SITUATION. The situation was embarrassing to a number of those present, but not at all Henry apparently to the presiding officer. Crocker received an intimation a member of him in his intention to attend the mee ing and take his medicine as it was handed out to him. The trouble between Will Crocker, Prince and Henry J. Crocker has brewing for some time and is the result of a series of wordy altercations months ago, when the last named charged the former with having acted unfairly w him in the distribution of the compa bonds and later joined them ants in a suit brought by him courts.

'The opening performance of “The Circus Belle” on Sunday ng was attended by such riotous proceedings on the part of the audience that the man- agement of the house, so.it was reported at the office of the theater last shut out “The Circus Belle” company. ev There was no great demand on the part | of the public to see the performance, seemingly, for at the usual hour for open- ing no one seeking admittance was in sight. Just after 8 o’clock the doors of the theater were closed and the lights were put out. The play will not be re- peated in the Theater Republie. California. The people seem to be looking for farce comedy, as Zeb & Zarrow's “Zigzag Al- ley” drew a large crowd to the California last night.
