Louisville, Kv., Mach 12, 1800. Radam's Microbe Killer Company, Nash ville, Tenn. Gentlemen A member of my family has been afflicted with asthma for several years, the attacks recurring trom time to time as is usual with this disease. In May or June of last year, 1889, these attacks became almost continuous, hardly a day or night passed without suffering from the distressing at tacks until I became alarmed on account of the loss of sleep and the severity of the dis ease, fearing a general decline of the health. I consulted several eminent physicians in New York and in this city, but with no bene ficial results from their prescriptions. About the first of September she commenced using the Microbe Killer, and since that time has never had a return of the par oxysms, and her general health has been correspondingly improve4. I can cheerful ly recommend the Microbe Killer to all asthmatic sufferers. Yours, etc., J. G. Guthrie, 422 West Main St. For sale by J. G. Hall. . ' , Will be Here September 2-5.

HETTIE BERNARD CHASE. "One of the Most Charming Women on the American Stage.' The gifted fittle actress, who will play "Uncle's Darling" at the Opera House tonight receives the warmest compliments from the press and - peo ple wherever she appears. Our citi zens have a rare dramatic treat in store for them. It is not likely that a bet ter troupe -if nearly as good will visit our city this season, t Miss Chase and her brilliant com pany were in Knoxville, Tenn.; in the last week or two, and the Daily 2 rib une of that place says: One of the most charming women on the American s stage is Hettie Bernard Chase. She has fine talent and though very young has already been remark ably successful. The people of Knox ville are delighted -with her as eviden ed by the cordial reception given her last night at Staub's Theatre. She ap peared last night as "Little Dar" in "Uncle's Darling," the play written expressly for her by Chas. 1 W. Chase. Had her reputation not already been established her successful appearance in this drama would have placed her in the front rank; - She is as full of life as a cricket arid ithis fine character af fords opportunity for the display of tnose iraus 01 character wnicn maxe a beautiful woman appear lovely. Though it is only acting her heart, her soul seems to shine through it. Her songs, dances and banjo playing cap tivated the audience. T Frank Calbert, who played the part of "Uncle Billy," is an actor of mark ed ability and presented the character in a manner which called forth unstint ed applause. J One of the best stage Chinamen we have ever seen was John Cassidy, who presented the part of "Ah Lin." He furnished a large portion of fun of the play. , The other characters were 'well sus tained. The specialties were greatly applauded. The quartette, the duets, the comic songs and dances would have furnished a fine entertainment without the drama.
