fuither declared that wealthy patents
"had no right to bring children into the
world and so train them that by any
possibility they may become dependent
on others. "

WORMWOOD.— DEC. 19.
The history of the stage has not re
corded the production of a play equal
in dramatic strength and temperance
motive to that of Chas. W. Chase's

The Absinthe Drinkers of Paris", which
will be presented with an excep
iionallv fine cast of characters at the
Park Theatre on Friday evening. The
ir: happy hero, Gaston Beauvais, the
Absintheur is shown, not as an example
of what is exceptionally tragic and nn
(TjWiuon, but simply as a very ordinary
type of a large and ever-increasing
class, such men are to be met with
every day in Paris and too often in our
country vvhere the curse of absinthe is
beginning to hold sway.
