COLLEGE PLAY WELL ATTENDED

“A VICTIM OF THE SEAL” GREETED BY CAPACITY HOUSE LAST NIGHT. Last night the big auditorium at St. Joseph’s college was filled by an audience of about 800 people, who witnessed the drama, “A Victim of the Seat.” The play was given by the Columbian Literary Society, of St. Joseph’s, under the able direction of father I. Rapp. The plot of the play hinged upon premises by the church janitor, who immediately after the crime went to the priest in the carament of confession, telling all. The janitor then left the country and all evidence pointing to the priest as guilty, he was brought before the court, where he was unable to defend himself, being forced to keep silent by the sacred seal of the confessional. So interesting was the story and so well did each one of the cast act his part, that the audience was held spellbound until the final curtaan. Many people were in attendance from Wolcott, Remington and other surrounding towns, as well as the citizens of Rensselaer, which shows that the people of this community are taking advantage of the college plays, which are always of sterling quality and well enacted .in an auditorium that any large city would 'be proud to boast of. The play last night was given for the benefit of St. Augustine’s neiw church fund. It was under Jthe auspices of the local Knights or Columbus, who wish to take this means of thanking all who helped make the evening such a success. Musical numbers were furnished by the college orchestra, directed by Prof. Paul Tonner.

DIRE DISTRESS.

It is Near at Hand to Hundreds of Rensselaer Readers. Don’t neglect an aching back. Backache is often the kidneys’ cry for help. _ , Neglect hurrying to the kidneys’ aid, means that urinary troubles may follow. ~, , Or danger of worse kidney trouble. Here’s Rensselaer testimony. Mrs. J. J. Norgor, Mathewson Ave., says: "We have used Doans Kidney Pills in the family for a long time and they have kept us in good health. I used to suffer from frequent attacks of kidney disorder. My back got stiff and lame and ached so steadily it tired me out. When I tried to wash, the leaning over caused almost unbearable sharp twinges in my back. Doan’s Kidney Pills have driven away those symptoms of kidney troubM and I have made me well end stspng. Price 60c, at all dealers. Dont simply ask for a kidney remedy—-get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Norgor had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
