The official report of the Method
ist church, for the time since Rev.

ing last, was most gratifying. Dur
ing Dr. Conner's five years here

Porter J. White's production of
"Faust" gave good satisfaction to
a large audience at the Opera House
Saturday night. Mr. White gave
an excellent interpretation of the
role of Mephisto, and his support
by Walter MacDonald as Faust and
Miss Olga Verne, as Marguerite
was very good.
The business men who want the
newspaper man to impress upon his
readers the desirability of patron
izing home industries and then
seuds out of town for their job print
ing are noc practicing what they
would like to have the good-natured
newspaper man preach. Reciprocity
ought to be mutual in all such
matters.

namely, a conscientious one. iuiss
Hussey's portraiture of "Wealthy
Widow Wieirlcs." shows with in
delible distinctness the scrupulous
ness of this well-beloved actress
character, who for years has been a
uninue fieure on the stage of 1
America, which she undeniably
adorns and elevates.
Consumption
Do not think for a single
moment that consumption will
ever strike you a sudden blow.
It does not come that way.
It creeps its way along.
First, you think it is a little
cold; nothing but a little hack
ing cough ; then a little loss in
weight: then a harder cough;
then the fever and the night
sweats.
The suddenness comes when
you have a hemorrhage.
Better stop the disease while
It ia yet creeping.
