to present a farce with succession Of
surprises and incidents in such man
ner as will produce the greatest amount
of amusement to theatergoers. The au-
dlence as a whole testified its pleas
ure by frequent hearty laughter
and applause. Ezra Kendall pos
sesses a manner that is truly in
imitable, and his stage sayings and
facial expressions catch the audience
from the start, and the interest never
lags. Arthur Dunn as Flip. and as one
of the ''kids," received decided recogni-
ton. His dancing, accompanied by
Miss Jennie Dunn, was repeatedly en-
cored-the audience persisting, In one
instance. for several minutes, not per-
hitting others of the company to pro-
ceed until the demand for all encore
was responded to. Gilbert Sarony as
Polly Dofunny and Leo Hardman as

CANCERS CURED.
An UrsuIine Nun in ST. LOuiS Said
to Have a Remedy.

~ law 1SOuACSAys
ST. Louis Post st-Dispatch.
An Ursuline nun at present located
in the convent Of the order on State
street and Russell avenue has been
treating people for cancers and other
ailments for some years past in a quiet
way, and has met with remarkable
success. She is known as Sis
ter Barbara. and effects her cures not
by faith of prayer but by use of medi
clnes which she pre- pareS, although she
says she always prayS for the assistance
of God in all her work, and often has
other sisters join her in these prayers.
Her patients, however, are not required
to pray, nor asked to have faith, her
only request of them being that they
use her remedies as she directs.
No distinction is made between
Roman Catholics, Protestants or any
other creed, and. i'll fact, patients are
not even asked their religious belief.
several different affections, her practice
is largely confined to the treat
ment of cancer. In dealing with
this dreadful affiiction she has eff
fected a number of really remarkable
cures. She is not licensed physician
and makes no charges for her services,
although her patients almost invariably
make donations to her, or rather to the
order of which she is member, as all
moneys so received are turned over by
her to the order.
There seems to be no doubt about the
genuineneSs of the cures which Sister
Barbara has effected. She does not
claim to be able TO cure all cases Of can
Ger, and frequently informs people who
call on her that she can do nothing.
