THEATRE FRIDAY.
The Daily News, Bangor. Maine:
"The County Fair with Its great race
scene and wilh'Neil Burgess himself
Its-Abigail Prue was given at the 0p-
cra House before an audience. which
filled the theatre. it Is needless to
say that the performance was of the
flrstclass. and it is equally unneces-
sary to state that it was highly enjoy-
ed. Mr. Burgess never had better
support than his present company, Neil
Burgess is far and away a better rural
character artist than any other new on
the stage in that line of business, and
his successis not to be wondered at."
WAY DOWN EAST.
Joseph R. Crismer Is responsible for
nearly all the farm .reallsm which
makes "Way Down East" so attrac-
iivc. it was he who put ill all the
quaint types of New England charac-
ters: it was he who devised so much
of the by-play that gives spontaneity to
the action of the drama: It was he who
elaborated and staged the play for
William A. Brady. and it Is ire—now
ono of Mr. Brady's partners—who con-
stantly watches over the performances
to see they are always kept up to a
high level. “Way Down East" has
had five extraordinary seasons of suc-
cess. it will be one of the attractions
at lioyl's Theatre.
TRAGEDY AVERTED.
"Just In the nick of time our little
bay was saved." writes Mrs. W. Wat-
kins of Pleasant City. Ohio. “Pneu-
monia had played and havoc with him
and a terrible cough set in besides.
Doctors treated him. blrt he grew worse
every day. At length we tried Dr.
King‘s New Discovery for Consump-
tion. and our darling was saved. He's
now sound and well." Everyone ought
to know It's the only sure cure for
Coughs, Colds and all Lung diseases.

said:
“They any i Illll eighty-four next

I pill it forty-eight. I don't feel any
older than i did forty years ago.
am rather a puzzle to myself. My irr-
tellcct is clearer than It was at that
time. i can remember as clearly as i
ever did. I think a great many people
get old too fast. A great deal is due
to my exuberance of spirits. i think
a great many people die before their
time because they carry clouds instead
of sunshinc and distribute them large-
ly. i am different. I carry sunshine
for everybody."
Through her hymns Miss Crosby has
made friends all over the world. who
have never seen her. She has never
known the use of her eyesight. all af-
fliction of the t‘ycs destroying it when
she was but ll lrrllry. At fifteen years of
age she entered the New York in-
stitution for the blind. and was thor-

Iutor. who actor as private secretary
to the president of the Institution. The
New York papers last week contained
a ram: of a letter alleged to have been
sent by Mr. Cleveland to Miss Crosby
extending his congratulations on her
touring birthday anniversary. and al
though Miss Crosby says It sounds like
the ex president she has not yet re
ceived ll. ,
Miss Crosby is well preserved. and
aside from her blindness her physical
Inflrmitlcs are few. She has acute
hearing and n r-I-ady understanding.
She is willy at times. and has a deep
spiritual trust which is an example to
those within and without the church
of the Nazarene. Although eighty-four
years old Miss Crosby does not look
or act like a woman over sixty-five.
She has only recently completed a trip
to Philadelphia. Rochester and Albany.
In each of which silt' made an address.
She is an enthusiastic lwrrrlgolist. and
nothing delights lit‘l' more than to meet
those who have not been corrvortcll to
the Christian religion. "(‘1‘ favorite
hymn is "Rcscuc the Pcrislrirrg." which
she says silo thinks was written for in
purpose.
it is probable that Miss Crosby will
spend about a work with friends in
New York before returning.
