“BLIND CIRL" IS A THRILLER. Melodrama Now Playing at the Third Avenue Reveals Many Startling Things, Including a New Cure for the Sightless. AND, OH! SUCH A VILLAIN! As Usual, He Gets All That He Was Looking For, and at the Same Mo- ment the Heroine Cries, “I See Again.” A now cure for blindness {s disclosed in “The Blind Giri," an English melo- drama pow playing at the Third Ave- nue Theatre. It comes high—from the top of a cilff, in truth, but Lilian—well, wait and hear how it all happens. Lillian Franklyn—please step over the has been blind so long she never expects to see her finish, even. You yourself watch her grope her way through four acts, threatening at almost every step to walk over the foot- lights and put her foot ‘through the snare drum. She has to teel her way, stretching out her hands and moving iike a trance medium at a spicituatistic Feance, To make you love her the more,Lilllan wears light, simple gowns and a couple of ringlets over her right shoulder. There to Do Good. Any time you see an actress with two lovely curls drooping on her chest you may gamble she's there to do good, and, alas! only too often, to be “done good." « Unhappily, it's Lillian’s luck to be “strung” by the villain, She loves him biindly—she couldn't love him any other way, of course—while he makes the poor girl think he could have no greater Joy than leading her through life. Meanwhile, he's crazy for her cousin, @ young lady who ought to wear high- necked dresses, but doesn't, She scorns him as she would the man who hustl out the ashes, but Stephen Rolfe—that's the scoundrel's name—wrings from her consent to bocome his wife by threaten- Ing to swear at the Coroner's inquest that the man she loyes, and who loves her, killed his own brother. Villain of Villains! Rolfe himself is the murderer, he hav- ing shot down Lillian's brother when the brother accused him of side-step- ping his sister. Incidentally, the sinful Stephen has wronged a girl, who advertises the fact by wearing black and telling good peo- ple: “Don't touch me, I am unworthy.” The girl's father, finding this out, in- sists that Stephen set his che-!ld up in housekeeping. Stephen says he'll look in the dream book and see, but the minute the old man’s back is turned the dastardly wretch raises his heavy stick and the blow kills father. Stephen would probably Kill off the whole cast were it not that Ldllian's brother discovers his true character and calls him names. Rough and Tumble. “You're another!" cries Stephen, and then they clinch, with the blind girl as referee. She backs over behind the ropes, while the two men struggle and sweat and hiss at each other. Down on the floor they go, all in a heap. The villain is the Terrible Turk at first, but presently virtue triumphs, with vice, personified in Stephen, flat on its back. ‘A little more mopping of the floor, then the combatants are on their fect ain. ‘They reel and stagger toward @ window, the balcony of which looks down upon a dizzy abyss. Audience Stops Breathing. It is @ test of strength, with death in the balance. The audience stops breath- ing and the ushers forget to chew gum. Lilian, divining what {ts happening, casts herself down in the centre of the stage witn a heartrending wail. Her brother, meanwhile, 1s getting the better of the villain. Step by step, he forces him toward the balcony, then suddenly picks him up and hurls him over. Stephen's last despairing “going down!" is answered by & shriek from Lilian. s She sits up and notices things. A new Hght illumines her face. The ex- oltement has worked a wonderful mir- acie. For the first time in years her eyes are open! ‘able gratitude se from ly cries: ‘mor And Third avenue is glad. DEAD MAN IDENTIFIED.

Osborn’s Playhouse the aristocracy of the floral world 1s gatthered for exhibition. The dim por- traits of the nation’s great men which line the walls seem even dimmer by contrast with the multicolored flowers that bloom below them. Foremost in the exhibit of chrysanthe- ie the tall, unbzrokne Une of immens white blossoms sent from the conserva- torles of H. McK. Twombley at Plor- heim, This {s the variety known as the Timothy Eton, and the great white balls with thelr incurling petals are among the most beautiful flowers at the show. ‘Two varleties shown this year for the first time are a large yellow chrys- anthemum, from the Timothy Eton, and a new pink bloom, the Mme. Marle Liger, exhibited by EF. G. Hill, of Rich- mond, Ind. In the exhibit of single flowers, a col- lection of fifty different chrysanthe- mums occuples two whole tables, These are from the conservatories of Mr. Willis James, of Madison, N. J. ‘There are purple chrysanthemums with lav- ender markings, a beautiful pale pink one known as the Flesh Seediand, and a bewildering array of yellow blossoms, each one larger an dmore beautiful than the last. The very newest flower at the exhi- bition is the Lawson White Carnation, from the Lawson Pink produced by Charles H. Aten, of Floral Park, L. I. This flower has the size and sturdiness of the pink variety and its wonderfully pungent odor. But ét is of an almost unearthly whiteness. Occasionally, however, there is on one of its petals a thin scarlet line, which relieves the deud purity of the blossom like @ faint touch of original sin, or, as the exhibitor more poetically remarked, Uke the flush on @ young girl’ cheek. A notable feature of the show tg the exhibit of rare orchids from the con- seryatory of Charles G, Roebling, of ‘Trenton. r Feremost among these is the beautiful exotic of the Cattleya variety, known as the Emily M. Roebling, a marvellous flower of waxen whiteness, relieved by touches of deep purple. ‘To lovers of exquisite detall some of these orchids are a source of infinite delight. So in- tricate are thelr markings, so wonderful their formation, that it is almost im- possible to describe tham, and It would take the brush and the patience of a Melssonler to paint them, Very instructive 1s the exhibit of hardy chrysanthemums, showing, as it does, by the contrast between the tall hot- house beauties and the sturdy little garden varieties the possibilities of cul- tivation. Tho prizes at the show will probably be awarded this afternoon and the ex- nibition will continue until 10 P. M, to- morrow.

Ladies’ Tailor Who Sued for Bill Wins, Despite Her Story that Gown Did Not Fit. The jury awarded $110 to Du ladies’ tailor, against Mrs. Carri Bryan, one of Brooklyn's most fashiona- ble young matrons, for a gown of dis- puted fit to-day in the Supreme Court before Justice Leventritt. Joseph Durand, whose establishment is at Madison avenue dd Fifty-elghth street, sued Mrs, Br: wife of Dr Walter Bryan, of No St. John's place, Brooklyn, for $115, the price of a gown ordered in March, 190, and inter- est, amounting all told to $150. Mrs. Bryan declares the gown was a very bad fit, making her look dowdy. Durand indignantly denied her state- ment and insisted that the gown fitted like a kid glove. The gown was burned in a fire at the home of Dr. Bryan, then In Sterling place, Brooklyn, soon after its delivery, and the twelve honest men in the jury box had to determine whether it was a good or bad fit on the evidence ad- duced from the disputants, Dr. Bryan testified that he wrote to Durand to come and take the gown away, as it did not fit, The jacket was too small on the bust, he said, and would never do at all, but he would keep the skirt at $06 if agreeable. Durand swears he never got this letter. Durand sued Mrs, Bryan and Mrs. Bryan said the doctor and not herself was responsible for her bills. Durand and his bookkeeper, Miss Davidson, tes- tifled that Mrs, Bryan when ordering the outft sald she would pay for it. Dr. Bryan, opposing this, deciars hat bis wife had to pay all her expenses for bonbons, expensive bonnets and other feminine luxuries, as he would be responsible only for her necessities and 0 or $0 wap as far as he would go in a gown. WEDDED IN SARATOGA, Society Girl Becomes the Wife of Well-Known New Yorker. (Spscial to The Evening World.) SARATOGA, N.

The ceremony was performed in the Regent Street Baptist Church by the pastor, the Rev, E. T. Hiscox. AN EASY WAY To Keep Well. It ts easy to keep well if we would only observe each day a few simple rules of health. ‘The all important thing ts to keep the stomach right and to do this it Is not neces- sary to diet or to follow a eet rule or bill of fare. Such pampering atmply makes a ca- priclous appotite’and @ feeling that certain favorite articles of food must be avoided. Prof, Wlechold gives pretty good advice ou this subject; he says: old and have never had a serious illness, and at the same time my Ife has been largely an indoor one, but I early discov- ered that the way to keep healthy was to keep a healthy stomach, not by eating bran crackers or dieting of any sort; on the con- trary I always eat what my appetite craves, tut daily for the past eight years I have made it @ practice to take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal and I attribute my robust health for a man ot my age to tho regular dally use of Stuart's Tablets. “My physictan first advised me to use them because he said they were perfectly harm- less and were not a secret patent medicino, but contained only the natural digestives, peptones and diastase, and after using them a few weeks I have never ceased to thank him for his advice. “I honestly believe the habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is the real health habit, because their use brings health to the sick and ailing id preserves health to the well and strong. Men and women past fifty years of age need a safe digestive after meals to insure fa perfect digestion and to ward off diseaso, the safest, best known and most widoly is Stuart's Dyspepsia ts, ey are found in e' Gn household from Maine to California and in Great Britain and Australia are rapidly pushing their way into popular favor, All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia ‘Tablets, full sized pigs. at W cen d for a‘ Weak’ stomach a fifty-cent pac! ‘often do fifty dollars’ worth of good.
