Mr.. j. j. ODONNELL, Kansas street,
states: "For IA years my stomach and liver
caused me the greatest trouble. During

Musical Matters by Cable.

A London cable received by THE DIS
PATCH last night speaks thus of the music
written by Mr.. Georg Henschel for Mr..
Beerbohm Trees Hamlet" production last
Thursday evening:
Mr. Henschel's incidental music, though
it had to be greatly curtailed Thursday
evening, proved to be of high class and
thoroughly appropriate. 1t will be per-
formed in the form of an orchestral suite at
the London symphony concert next Tues
dav, and it has been secured for production
in its entirety at a revival in German of
"Hamlet" at the Burg Theater, Vienna,
next winter.

A letter has been published from Mr.
McNulty, the Irish musical critic, which is
likely to make some stir in dramatic circles
Mr. McNulty insinuates that the principal
features in Mr.. Gilbert's ''The Mounte-
banks" were taken from the libretto of an
opera written by Mr.. McNulty, which he
sent to the late Mr.. Alfred Cellier last
summer. The principal characters in this
libretto were a magician who, with an elixir,
changes a person into the character he or
she wishes to be and clerk workman whose
jerky language is similar to that used by Mr.
Gilbert in the "Mountebanks." Mr.. Nc
Nulty also claims that his libretto had a
song "Drop Penny in the Slot" while

President Diaz," replied Senor Romero,
'is one of the ablest statesmen and one of
the most skiIlful generals on this continent
lis Whole lie has been one OF action and he
has demonstrated his ability in almost every
Held. HIS popularity was such that have
always believed that had he refrained from

condition of affairs once he said the soldiers
must De PAID nrst, the interest on the for

the civil employees and the other items of
Government expense. We could call to-
Eether about 100000 good fighting men. Our
regular army contains about $1,000 men and
we have a general reserve which would make
mp the balance.
The Makeup and Equipment.
Every man in Mexico is a soldier at some
time in his life and the organization and
drill of our troops are after the most modern
methods. Our regular army is largely
armed with Remington rifles and we have a
Sational foundry on the edge of Mexico City
5n which we make our guns for the artillery,
our powder and our ammunition. Mexico
has fine military school at Chapultepec,
the site OF the summer palace or the Monte
Eumas and large per cent of our officers
are graduates Oftnis school. The training is
much the same as that of West Point and
the MeXicans are very proud OF this insti-
tuition"

and file OF your army are recruited from
-Our prisons ana that you have many ex-
convicts among your soldiers?"
NO It ls not" replied Mr.. Romero "We
have many Poems among our soldiers but
the Indians make splendid fighters. With
his army President DiaZ could put down in
few weeks any revolution that might
arise. The revolution will not affect Amer
3can business or the condition of American
capital in Mexico. American capital is as

The Gilbert and Cellier OperA.

A portion of Arthur Brisbane's weekly
letter from New York fits in here right we'll:

Gilbert, of Gilbert and Sullivan fame, and
Ceilier, the unhappy musician who died a
few days before his work was produced, an

don. 1t is called the "Mountebanks" The
music has come to New York and will prob
ably soon find its way to pianos and thence
The success OF this comic opera has doubt
less filled the soul of the sour Mr.. Gilbert
with very sincere joy. Nobody likes him
very much, and when he and Sir Arthur Sui
llvan quarreled, newspaper writers and
others, led By Henry Labouchere, were en-
thusiastic in the assertion that the Gilbert
and Sullivan combination was more than
half Sullivan, and that Gilbert would be a
failure without his partner.
Labouchere, who never will see any good
in Gilbert unless he can't help it, attacks
Gilbert's new work, of course. He thinks
the two lines:
"Dicky birds tweese, tweetle, tweek,
Which may be silly, and does sound weak {"
And in the lines which the girl sings:
''Here 1 admit, genuine wit,
As commodity, ranks below oddity."
Gilbert understands the use of repartee
and such things quite as well as the distn-
guished Mr.. Labouchere, and when he goes
in TO say anything be makes it vigorous. By
way of getting even with Labouchere he is
anegeu 10 repeat on all possible occasions
his statement that Labouchere could never
forgive him for Introducing him to the
present Mrs. Labouchere, which it appears
Gilbert did.
Many lines in Gilbert's new work are good
and up to his former level except for the
fact that the Gilbert method is no longer new
1t is possible that the author aliudes to him
self in the lines
Though I'm a button, recollect, l command
your respect,
I cannot for money be vulgarly funny
My objects to make you reflect.

haps is the Tamorra Secret Society, a band
of brigands, whose motto is revenge with
out anxiety" and who have sworn ven
gence against all mankind, because, as they
put it
Five hundred years ago our ancestors next

means or other,

1.-THE epidemic of ia Grippe which seems

tury, and invariably sweeps over the coun-
try from east to west. The disease is beyond
question infectious, and spreads by atmos-
pheric influences. Many examples are to
be found in the current medical literature
which could be cited to prove the assump-
tion.
"This disease is sometimes called Russian
influenza, because it is supposed to have
had its origin in Siberia. 1t usually occurs
as an epidemic and travels rapidly over the
globe. 1t has received many names, the
most common being influenza and la grippe.
The Italians, in the seventeenth century,
called it influenza, supposing it owed its
origin to some occult influence of the stars
La grippe is said by some to come from the
Polish 'crpka,' meaning 'hoarse;' others
recognize in it the French word Gripper,
which means to seize The Germans call 1t
'bl1tz katarrh.'
"There is one bad result from IL, however,
ana that is, the numerous cases of chronic
catarrh and bronchitis that will remain as
reminder of la grippe's baleful influence.
The press has made so light of the danger
that the people as a rule think there Is none.
They stay in the house for day or two and
then go about their business as usual in
spite of the sneezing and coughing. They
do not realize what this sneezing and cough
ing may lead to. A chronic catarrh,
chronic bronchitis, possibly pneumonia,
followed by consumption, may result from
their thoughtlessness. The effects OF such
an epidemic as are passing through last
tor weeks and months and cost the people
thousands of dollars, not only in loss Of
health, but in actual money paid out to rid
| themselves of ills consequent upon their
carelessness, and which few more days
stay in the house would have saved them.
"Catarrh is little thing at first, but may
eventuate in terrible suffering. We all
know what cold in the head il, and when
we catch one we look forward to the usual
nine days of coughing and sneezing and
blowing our noses. But now imagine that
cold constant, continually with us, growing
worse steadily and with no hope that i'll
nine days we shall be rid of it, but knowing
that it will be our constant and faithful
companion for life if we do not get it cured
THAT IS CATARRH. We physicians have in
stances OF it daily, and, although we are
forever warning our patients to use q little
care and not catch cold, how many are there
who pay attention to our words?"

two places where there is comparative
famine, the people are thoroughly satisfied
with the Government and with their pros
poets.
Even supposing that dissatisfaction ex-
Sisted. the Church party or that which is
opposed to the one in power could not e1-
pect to succeed in a revolution. When
they fought against the men who now con-
troll the Government they owned nearly
two-thirds of all the property of Mexico,
and they had the religious enthusiasm of
the lower classes to help them. They had
assistance in both men and money from
France, Belgium and Austria, and France
spent many millions of dollars in their
cause. Notwithstanding all this, they
failed, and they are not likely to hope to
succeed without money and without the
support of the people, who now see that
the priests oppressed them, and that they
were actuated by personal greed rather than
holy fervor.
Confiscation of Church Property.
"The Government at the close of the
last war con6scated their converts and mon
asteries and gave back to the people vast
amount of church property which they had
accumulated. This property amounted to
several hundred million dollars and it was
ell turned TO public use. Many of the
monasteries became public libraries and the
biggest library in Mexico City is in what
was once great Catholic church. Some of
the monasteries were turned into factories
