Mr.. FRED MILLER, OF Irving, ILL.,,
writes that he had a severe kidney
trouble for many years. with severe
pains in his sack, and also that his
bladder was affected. He tried many
so-called kidney cures, but without any
good result. About year ago he began
the use of Electric Bitters, and found
relief at once. Electric Bitters is
especially adapted to tho cure of all
kidney and liver troubles, and often
gives almost instant relief. Ono trial

MILWAUKEE, April 9.-The Davidson
theater, the finest in Milwaukee and one
of the handsomest and costliest build
ings in the country, was destroyed by
fire, which broke out between 4 and 5
O'Clock this morning. Valuable scenery
carried by the Lilliputians, worth $685.
600, is all gone. The theater roof, on
which score or more firemen stood,
went down and the men were carried
with it. Some were rescued from the
flames by their comrades, who risked
their lives to carry out the forms of the
dead and injured. Seven or eight were
soon brought out, and those able to
speak said there must be 10 more in the
ruins. The burning roof had fallen on
them, and they were roasted to d-ath If
not killed in plunging from the roof.
Several men working in the theater
were caught by falling timbers and
other portions of the roof, making the
rescue of the imprisoned men impossible.
The police report 16 lives lost. The
property loss is 100000. Assistant
Chief Devere was on the roof at the time

GAY SOCIETY IN RUSSIA.
The Women Inveterate Disseminators of
Political Gossip and State Secrets.

The Women Inveterate Disseminators of
Political Gossip and State Secrets.
Those who are best qualified by ex-
perience to express an opinion are
unanimous in declaring that there is
no gayer or more brilliant society in
Europe than that at st. Petersburg. 1t
has a cachet all its own, says the Lady,
and if it is less difficult of access to for
eigners than London or Paris society it
is so simply because hostcsses too i'm
plicitly rely upon their friends of both
sexes not to introduce into their salons
any but persons of irreproachablec char
acter. The Russian lady is so clover
that she does not require any details of
a story. She guesses at these, and, if
necessary, supplies them; in other
words. invents them. The one word
which u guileless official has let drop;
which she has surprised on his lips"
serves her as the key to. the mystery;
the rest is easy. OF course, She only
communicates these state secrets to her
most intimate friends, who themselves
are sworn to secrecy, but she has so
many friends of both sexes that in an
incredibly short space of time the i'm
Portant morsel of gossip is literally
all over st. Petersburg. To the for
than legion of spies. Those persons
are assiduous visitors to the leading
salons, where, as may be supposed,
they pick up quite as much as they
want to know, and thus are often bet
ter informed than the emperor's minis
ter of foreign affairs himself There
is a mad race among the fair leaders
of the grande monde to attract the
largest number of diplomatists and
great personages in their drawing
rooms. Thus it happens that the
younger women, if not excluded from
the salons which they would so adorn
but for this political craze, are not oft
en-. seen in the principal houses, save
at balls and similar frivolous gather
ings- The st. Petersburg salons are
really not a whit better than the mems
clubs, presided over by maitresse de
maison. The very boudoirs are trans
formed into studies. the grandes sales
into places of rendezvous for politi-
clans, and the bedrooms into ware
houses of state secrets.
