Why Mysterious PHYSICAL Troubles Arouse
Special Dread--A Professional Experience.
Few things give more pain than dread or
apprehension. Most people are able to faes
apparent danger heroieally, but the sudden
and unexpected coming of some indefinite
calamity very naturally strikes terror to
even the bravest For this reason Ii hghtnins
and tornadoes are considered terrible their
coming and goins are so sudden, unan-
nounced and unknown. For this same reason
an unknown disease, some poison in the
blood, some malady that is gradually under
mining the life, is specially dreaded by all
thinking people. And, indeed, there are
good reasons for such dread, for modern
science has discovered that some virulent
disorders show the least signs in their be-
ginnings, while they have the worst possible
symptoms. We know of many persons who
have dull and uncertain pains in vario1s por-
tions of the body; VINO are unuatarally tired
one day and apparently we'll the next; who
have an enormous appetite at times
and a loathing of food soon there
after. Such persons are really in a
dangerous condition, even though they
may not realize it. The following state
ment Of a most prominent physician, who
has had unusual opportunities for inyestiga-
tion,is of 50 striking aad important nature
that it will be read with interest by all;

A Newport correspondent of the Boston

of aping the English in their manner of dress

English people come from2 Isn't it fun

Her Lawyer Tells How Easily sho Paid

Mr.. John NJ. Bowers, attorney for Mrs.

vostment, said to a reporter Of the World yes

at is fact that she invested $s1 900 in q
perfectly secure manner, but / cannot give
You the entire Details because there are cor
tain things between counsel and client that

how the transaction came about. Shortly be-
fore Mrs. Langtry's departure for Europe L
received q note from her" land he drew from
pile of letters dainty envelope, with
neat crost on the flap requesting me to
search tho titles of three pieces of property
on which she was dcsirous Of advancing
loans on mortgages. She had already been
advised of the nature of tho real estate, and
my part of the work was to look the records
up and see that everything was all right.
On my report she sent me u check for sSl ,OJO
! don't now remember whether IL was certi-
fed, but nevertheless IL was duly paid on
presentation at the bank. IL was expended

dollars on stone house in Fifty-third street

the matter?"
NO The investment was mado by her in

now arranged, sho has absolute management
and can do just as sho pleases with it. In

Chas. Z. Ford's English Company that
appears at the Opera House tonight in
Gilbert & Sullivan's new fairy opera To-
lanthe, will as already announced, follow
with Strauss delightful opera OF the Merry
War. Stephens and Solomon's Billee Tay-
lor and Gilbert x Sulliyan's greatest sue
cess the Sorcerer. There is no company in
this country that has such an extensive
repertoire as the company that gives the
above operas here this week. Besides these
already mentioned they can on any occa.
sion produce Audrans, 0livette, MascoSte,
AMI Manolo, Gilbert & S%ulliyan's Pirates,
Patience and Pinafore, Solomon & Stephens
Claude Duyal, Plancquette, Chimes OF
Normandy, and Rip Van Wrinkle. 1t Is
the only company that never has a vaca-
ton, they play all the year round and
hss done so the past four years.
Two of its greatest features are,
firstly, that each and every individual
members of the company can both sing
and act, therefore giving the best produc-
ton of comic opera in America. The
prima donnas are Misses Blanche Chapman
and Marie BOckel, Miss Geneyive Reynolds,
contralto; Philip BranSon and Chss. Fay,
first tenors; Chas. H. Drew and Chas. W.
DUNCAN, baritones; L. W. Raymond and l..
Carlbey, bassos; Geo. Denham and Samuel
Reed Comedians. Secondly, besides being
thirty young, fresh, well trained voices in
the chorus, the ladies are youthful and
handsome, which is so seldom the case in
the maiority of other opera companies.
The sale Of seats is very large, and We pre-.
dict large houses here as have greeted them
elsewhere.
