talked for a moment with a representative

CHICAGO, April i3-The most notable
scene that has occurred during the first week
of the opera festival took place Friday
night The opera was Lucia Di Lammer-
moor" with Mile. Nevada in the principal
role, md the audience was large and fully
testified its appreciation of the fair singer.
In the third act the popular demonstration
reached its climax. After Nevada had con-
cluded the famous flute song she retired
from the stage, and there arose such q
shout of applause as looked as though it
would lift tho roof of the building.
Nevada returned and bowed and again re-
tired; but the audience would no: be deHied
it wanted "Home Sweet Home;" FIVE times
did the songstsr return in response to the
demand of the audience. At last Arditi,
who had obstinately refused to make the di
version desired, concluded to give in, and as
the strains of the well-known tune were
heard from the instruments, the immense
throng became silent and Nevada's voice
rose in the notes of the exile's ballad. The
people lad triumphed and the singing of the
old song was another triumph for Nevada.

CURE ron PILES

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
of want of weight in the back, loins and
lower partot the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
Of the kidneys or neighboring organs. At
times, symptoms ofindigestion are present
fiatulency, uneasiness Of the stomach, etc.
A moisture like perspiation, producing a
very disagrceable itching, after getting
warm, is a common attendant. Blind,
bleeding and itching piles yield at once to
the application Of br. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly on the parts
effected, absorbing the tumors, ~allaying
the intense itching, and ~effecting a per
