taking five bottles the bowel trouble was completely overcome and my cough was gone.'

what your .medicine has done for me, I had been
troubled with catarrh for a number of years had
used many other remedies but failed to find any
change and was about to give up all hope. I
at last tried your medicine and found it just
what it is represented to be. I. used a number of
bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
and will say that I have not felt as well in several
years. My headaches, which had become a com-

as the burning sensation I endured through my
eyes and nose. My voice has wonderfully im
proved since using your medicine ; I would not be
without it,, and I shall forever give praise to your
worthy medicine."

SECEIVING CITY TAXES.
About 82,000 a Day Being Taken In
by the City Treasurer.
City tuxes are now being received
by the city treasurer without an added
penalty and will continue to be so re
ceived until councils llx some definite
date, after which a penalty shnll be ex
acted. About $2,000 a day is now being
paid In.
Aug. 30 Is usually the last day on
which taxes may be paid without a
penalty unless councils extend the
time, which Is generally done, but this
year the tax duplicates were not re
ceived by the treasurer until after that
date so that precedent Is no guide. It
lr likely that the date fixed will be
about Dec. Io.
THE POPE AND THE PLAY.
For The Tribune.
For fifteen hundred years, and over, tho
hMory of tho popes Is tho record ot
Christianity. Their Influence during all
that tlmo was practically paramount In
tho political and the religious world. The
papacy was not exempt from the frailties
ot human nature. There were great
popes and papal mediocrities; there were
good popes, and their llneuge altogether
overshadows, If It does not obliterate, tho
folly, the weakness and the wickedness
of the few pontiffs whose career have
sullied tho lustre of the throne ot the
fishermen. A pope Is an historical per
sonage. Ills reign Is open to Inspection.
He Is no more excluded by his character
or pontillcial associations from secular
criticism than the sovereign or states
man engaged In the ordinary affairs ot
tho world. The genius of tho Cafhollu
church lies In Us claim to an uninter
rupted continuity through its popes from
Its Institution to our own day. AVIthout
reverting to what some historians regard
as the mythical embellishment ot Its
primitive development. 110 one can deny
that nil the sceptres of the modern world
aro saplings when laid over against the
potrltlcil wood that hefts the shepherd's
crook of Leo. It is Impossible to doubt
that amid muesli misrepresentation and
exaggeration, tho history Of the popes
was not always as edifying as It might
be, or as politic as It -dioulil have been,
tint these mutters did not cither pass
tho comprehension or tho criticism of
thoso who felt their effects. If wn aro to
obtain a true conception of history, wo
must place tho accidental passloni of
mankind on tho ono side, and their set
tled habit ot acting and thinking on the
other. When wo do this, it will bo seen
that If tho arrogant prctonsions of the
pupaoy led to tho reformation III the Six
teenth century, It was the conservator of
civilization from thu fall of tho Roman
omplro until that time, and coincident In
tlmo unci predisposition of clreumstant'es
was tho renaissance, which was only pos
sible through tho literary and artisllo an
tliiultles which wero preserved In tho
Vatican and other religious establish
ments, and owed their preservation
largely to the putrouago of tho popes.
It remains for our day for.n dramatist
to put on the stugo a pope as tho prin
cipal character of u play. It Is needless
to say that such an inspiration could only
come to two contemporary authors, Hall
Culno and Alurlo Corclll. If It was not
tho one, If would Inevitably ho tho other.
Tho Introduction of u. popo ius been crit
icised its Improper and Irreverent. AVo
confess wo cannot seo why It should bo
thought so as 11 criterion of dramatic art.
It Is certainly an Innovation, but Inno
vation Is the measurement ot progress In
any direction. What should wo not glvo
for an Ideal pope or Shakespearo, watch
ing over tho perturbations of mankind,
dominating by his morul power as he so
often did tho physical oppression of somo
monarchical tyrant; staying In their on
set tho resiiugent waves of barbarism as
wuh his prerogative tlmo and again. Hut
then Hall Cahio Is not Shakespeare, oven
If ho dors look llko his bust.
Air. Calno's dramatic conception of a
pope Is us unreal and Insignificant as hla
Idealism Is grolcsqun and mathematical,
"The popo of tho play," ho says, "Is a
very noblo character. He can bo very
easily described. Ills family name was
I.eoue. He began his llfo as 'a noble
guard. During his career as a soldier, ho
married a Honiun girl. The marriage was
dlBtusteful to tho fumlly. This cuiimhI
him to bo sent abroad on a diplomatic
niltdson" and tho rest follows. Thero Is
nothing Iruo to nature cr reality In this
Inartistic stucco work, Tho Roman pon

of llfo from HWlno herds to hereditary
pilaws, but there is absolutely no pre-

cedent for such a preposterous travesty
of it pope's elevation along tho lines which
Air. Calne ndoptcd. There Is a want of
decorum and a Inck of taste In the de
lineation which outrages all proportion of
tho probable or ovon tho possible, In hl.
toilcal perspective. Air, Calno justifies
his drama on the score that there Is noth
ing offensive to Chiistlau susceptibilities
hi iho OUeluminergaii I'aslaon play. Hew
again the author of tho Eternal City
measures his length with tho genius of a
lepresentatlon which Iiob us Its frame
work tho most traglo event In the his
tory of mankind, which Is transfigured
by the passion and death of the Redeemer
of tho World, which Is the solaco o(
Clulsteudom und Its hope for the future.
And agatu tho author of the Passion play,
If It had ap Individual author, was not a
playwright with a stage, a proscenium,
footlights and an orchestra, but a man
who intended u solemn religious ceiemony
as liturgical in its sotting and symbolism
as the services of tho passion at any of
our Catholics churches during Holy week.
Tho religious sentiment Is as strong hera,
certainly, as It is In England, and even
tho genius which Air. Culno lacks at least
as u dramatist bus failed to make plays
of thltf kind acceptable or successful
across tho water. Surely the depths and
heights or Human nature aro deep euougn
and wide enough for tho novelist or dra
matist In scutch of a subject to delve In
wtihit mortifying ti,. most s&crusaucl
associations and lellglous prepossession:
ot Catholic or Protestant.- -J. M. G.
