NEW YORK. Feb. 20. Special.)
Since his success in -Kismet,"
Otis Skinner has looked around
vainly tor a suitable successor to it.
He is now at the Liberty Theater with
The Silent Voice." written by Jules
Kckcrr Goodman, and founded on a
tti!-y by' Oouverneur Morris. Candor
compels the statement that the story,
for some reason or other. w.i much
more interesting than the play.
On the stage Mr. Skinner is a musi
cian, amalrur but persevering. aDd at
one time a man of a few attainments
in the field he had chosen for himself.
The audience early learns the reason
for his lack of skill he was growing
deaf. That it might not altogether ruin
his aappiness. he followed the advice
of a friend, and married a young girl
he loved. Her feeling for him. how
ever, was more one cf pity, and later
he found that her heart beat more
varmly for the nephew of her husband
than it did for the man she had prom
ised to love, honor and obey, ftealiia
tio of this truth robs the husband of
all happiness in life. But he discovers
that he is not the only person who has
been tricked out of happiness, so he
determines that he will see what his
influence for good in the world may
be by correcting, so far as it lies in
the power of human being, the mis
takes of the higher power that has
brought so much evil into his life.
Dramatic Skill Lacking.
The audience sees the deserted hus
band watching Central Park through
his field glasses, and acting as a spe
cial Providence for the various un
fortunates who are revealed to him.
The effect of the scenes would have
been much stronger had the hero per
formed his errands of mercy in per
son but he preferred to watch and
en't his valet to carry out his plans.

skill In its development. To explain

whv the young wife repented of her
bargain so speedily, she is.mado to say
that it is due to her unwillingness to
have children, because the deafness
may be hereditary- Otis Skinner is al
together remote in appearance, in tech
nical style and in sympathy from tht
part of a middle-aged man growing
deaf. He Is one of the few really fine
romantic actors on our stage, and it Is
a pity that he is not supplied with a
part suited to him.

Just the same. Miss Dressier was
never funnier. While she was on the

PREVENTION OF DISEASE
IS POULTRYMAN PLAN
Mismating Blamed for Much of Sickness Found Among Flocks Recom
mendations Made for Treatment of Sick Chickens and Remedies.
. BT W. LVDWlA.
POULTRY diseases of various kinds
are responsible for the loss of many
fowls each year. It Is impossible to
estimate the financial loss that the
poultryman and farmer suffer annually
through these diseases, many of which
can be prevented. This sum Is a vast
one, according to those who are in a
position to know. If these diseases
could be avoided in the poultry yard
a great amount of disappointment
could be eliminated and poultry busi
ness would be made more profitable

Says S. M. Wensolc. '
BT S. M. AVENSnLK.
GVMOS1& a cherry tree disease
which has been little understood,
is In most cases caused 'by a bac
teria which kills the areas of the bark
and results in the production of gum.
The gum itself does no great damage
to the tree.' It Is merely as a sign
that an area of the bark has been
killed that It has partlcularsignifl-
C8The only practical treatment for the
disease is to cut out the diseased area
and thus give the tree a chance to
heal. Care should be taken not to
remove any more of the living and
healthy tissue than is necaary In
cutting out the disease. It is not
noreaaary on the edge, of cankers to
cut into the wood and cambium. Re
moving outer layers is usually suf

should be sterllised'with corrosive sub

aTned at any drugstore. When dry
