THIRD YEAR In PROVIDENCE.
CONTINUED SUCCESS.

During the past two years DIR. Strong has
treated over 1000 patients at his Providence
office and refused TO treat over 1900 cases that
he pronounced incurable. He has conducted
the largest Office practice OF any physician in
Providence. His treatment of the diseases to
which he devotes his time is the same as that
pursued by the leading physicians and sur
geons of Europe. During DIR. Strong's visit 10
Europe the past summer he was able TO obtain
a knowledge of the very latest discoveries in
medicine and surgery. His treatment of
Throat is the same as used at the London,
England, Nose and Throat hospital. His
treatment of the diseases of the Nervous Sys-
tenn is identical TO that advocated by Prof.
Charcot and DIR. Brown Sequard of Paris.
All medicines prescribed by DIR. Strong are
prepared expressly for each case in the large
laboratory connected with his Office His Of
flee contains the largest and most complete
collection of instruments and appliances for
examining and treating the afflicted possessed
by any physician in America. A visit TO his
Office will prove this. He gives special atten-
tion to Chronic diseases, Catarrh, and all dis
eases Of the Nose, Throat and Lungs; diseases
OF the Stomach, Liver, Spleen, Heart, Bowels,
Kidney, Bladder and Urinary Organs, Rheu-
matism, Diseases Peculiar to Females, Piles,
Fistula and all diseases OF the Rectum cured
without the use of the knife or pain. All dis
eases caused by an impaired or abused con-
dition of the Nervous System treated by the
French method. Consultation and examina-
tion free.

The Storm Elsewhere.

NEW YORK, Dec 5.-Every electric light
pole on the east side of First avenue, be-
tween Twenty-fifth and Forty-second
streets, yielded to the force of the gale,
which swept this city at o'clock last
evening, and fell with a crash into the
street. Traffic on those thoroughfares
was blocked and horse cars and wagons
were caught in the web of tangled wires
and broken poles. Several people were
hurt, but no one was seriously injured.
Forty poles were leveled by the gale.
CARLISLE, Pa, Dec 5.-Damage TO prop
erty 10 the amount of over 500, 900 was

pletely wrecked.

AN OPEN BALLOT.
This is Regarded as favoring Crisp's
Aspirations.


WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 5.-Three
Democratic Congressman at least were
confident this morning that before the
sun set tonight he would be
selected by his party AZ its
nominee for Speaker. Gen. Geary OF Cal
ifornia, one of the most enthusiastic sup
porters of the sage of Corsicana, ex-
pressed the sentiments OF his side when
he said:
mills is as good as elected. Our fight
is won. There is no need Of more talk,
because victory is surely ours" " We
have burst the Springer boom"
'The Springer forces are intact. Mr.:
Springer will be in the fight TO the finish,
said Senator elect Palmer Of Illinois.
Mr. Crisp is so far in the lead
that / should not be surprised TO
see him nominated on the first bal
lot. Even If the Springer forces are
broken, we feel that we snail win, for we
are SO far ahead of Mr.. Mills that with
those that will come to us from the break
we must win on the next ballot after the
break, said Representative Catchints OF
Mississippi one Of the chief engineers OF
the Crisp canvass.
Mcmillan and Hatch would not give up
the fight. They were hoping that the in
tense fight between the three leading can
didates would cause a deadlock that would
make it necessary to take up one OF them
as n dark horse.
The Democrats met i'm caucus at 2
o'clock in the Hall of the House Of Repre-
sentatives. Judge Holman called IL TO or
der. An open ballot was decided upon
for the speakership. This was regarded as
"A point in Crisp's favor.

Dom Pedro's Career.

Dom Pedro III. de Alcantara was born
at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, December 2,
1926. His father, Pedro l., was the first
Emperor of Brazil, ana was the son Of
King John, vi. and Queen Dora Maria /.
of Portugal.
Pedro III. was declared Of age at II. by
act Of the Brazilian Legislature, who was
crowned July Is. 1871. He was linked by
ties of blood and marriage with nearly
every house of Christian Europe. His
wife, an amiable and benevolent lady, TO
whom he was married when he was IL
years of age, and who but recently died,
was Theresa Christina Maria OF Naples.
They had two children, the Princesses
Isabella and Leopoldina.
The reign of Dom Pedro was one of con-
tinucd progress and prosperity. Before
he assembled the throne Brazil had been
constantly distracted by the quarrels of
factions, and had frequently been dis
tracted by civil war His humane, en-
lightened rule, and the eXertion of his cul-
tivated tastes, tended to convert the coun-
try that once was sparsely peopled by
mixed and lawless races, into compact
and powerful nation.
A crowning act of humanity and up
rightness was his aid in the abolishment
of Brazilian slavery. Twenty-three years
ago the initial steps were taken, and in
1883 the final act of emancipation was
passed. When the news came Of the final
act, the grand Quaker poet, John G.. Whit
tier, who was personally acquainted with
the emperor, sent a cable dispatch TO his
royal friend, then lying criticelly ill in
Italy, saying:
AMEsBuRY, May ~.
To Dom Pedro Emperor Of Brazil, Milan:
With thanks 10 God who has blcst your
generous efforts, | congratulate you on the
peaceful abolition of slavery in Brazil.
JOHN q. WHITTIER.
Dom Pedro's extended visit TO the
United States during this countrys cen
tennial celebration period made his char
acter and career familiar to the American
public
In November, 1850, occurred the sudden
revolution which drove him from his
throne, and exiled him and the rest of the
royal family from Brazil. Various causes
led up TO this catastrophe, among them
the extreme unpopularity of his son-in-law
and daughter, and of certain acts of the
government, more the fault of circum-
stances than of the Emperor. Since his
downfall Dom Pedro lived much of the
time in Portugal.

story is that of an innocent, blushing girl,
who, thrown off by her lover, assumes the
role of an avenging nemesis in the shape
of French woman, and lures her betrayer
TO destruction-justice as she rightfully
terms it, The play holds the attention of
the audience to the end and gives oppor-
tunity to Miss Herndon to exploit her
great dramatic talents. Miss Herndon,
Jean Ingleside, the trusting young girl
with blonde locks, is charmingly simple
and girlish. and as the laughing, mock
ing, beautiful, scornful bewitching, dash
ing la Belle Marie. in raven tresses, and
French dialect, she is simply superb.
There was no gesture, pose or movement
made which had not meaning and cor
responding force She was all grace, and
every turn of her magnificent figure was
intended To convey thought. She was
thoroughly artistic in this regard, so much
80 that the audience was lost in amaze
ment at the subtlety finesse, and delicacy
of all she did Her impersonation is dainty
and strongly amusing, and real TO shud-
dering at times. The play is novel, re-

broke out against da Fonseca's dictator

the Count d'Eu and Others that if he
