es Your Ear Ache?

Many III ache and pain might be saw
cd or cureO if more of the easy, simple
remedies ii the healing science were
known. N every expert will injure
his chances of gain by laying before the
public his methods and knowledge I'm
the practice of his profession. But eel
ebratcd aur'st is said TO have willingly
sacrificed his practice to the victims, of
earache by giving the following advice
TO all who are thus afflicted: At the
first symptoms of earache let the pa
tient lie OH the bed with the painful ear
uppermost. Fold thick towel and tuck
it around the neck. Then with a tea
spoon fiji the ear with warm water
Continue doing this for . or 90 min
utes. The water will fill the ear orifico
and flow over on the towel Afterward
turn over the head, let the water run out
and plug the car with warm glycerin
and cotton. This. may be done every
hour until relief is obtained. 1t is an
almost invariable cure and has saved
many cases of acute Inflammation. The
water should be quite warm, but not
too hot. Minneapolis Housekeeper.

Providence Opera House.

Miss Lillian Russell Is about as hand
some as a goddess. She Is an attractive
actress and thoroughly satisfactory
vocalist. "The Grand Duchess is

1t Is not unlikely, however, that q
goodly proportion of the fine audience
which greeted the revival last evening
departed from thet heater with a feeling

had been pleased or not. The production
was surely OF a magnitude and a lavish
ness that has never been surpassed on a

II led the stage with extraordinary
abundance. Scenery and settings were
bouptiful and beautiful. Costumes were

singing of Miss Russell, Mr..
Wilke and the Others being most sat-
isfying. The star herself was, OF course.
pleasurable to look at, her voice was
delightful to listen to, and her
dresses were marvels of attractive
g0rgeousuoss. An enlarged orchestra
played the measures with spendid effect.
But somehow--it Is, admittedly, hard
TO expl,in how - the opera
failed of being as thoroughly
satisfying as the audience evidently an
ticipated. Whether IL was the weakness
OF the up-to-date book which has been
written TO frame the familiar music,
whether IL was the lack OF vocal volume
from chorus whose musical numbers
promised grand swell, whether it was
the exasperatingly long intermissions be-
tween the three acts and the frequent
drag when the curtsin was up
or whether Il was n bit OF all of these to-
gether. which is iikeiy the opera fell

Westminster Theater.

Rice & Barton's Rose Hill Folly Com
pany began one weeks engagement at the
Westminster Theater yesterday after
noon, and fair sized audience
was present to greet them. The
performance began with "The
arrival of the Fakirs" in which Miss
Blanche Milburn assumes the lead
ing part. During the run of
the sketch number OF vocal selec-
tions are rendered, and there
all sorts OF dancing. This is followed by
Miss Clara Lawrence, an accomplished
musician, Craw ford and Manning, black
faced aero oatic team, who are
great in their particular line;
j. Herbert Mack in topical songs and
recitations; the well-known Wash
burDe sisters, Tilly and Blanche, in num-
ber OF new and pleasing vocal selec-
tions; John A. Morton and
Fred HI. Eckhoff, amusing comedians
and excellent musicians, and Frank
Emerson, the trick bone soloist. The
program concludes with a skit en-
titled the "Fakir's Daug hter,"
and In this the Washburne Sisters,
assisted by the entire company, appear.
In this portion of the program the young
ladies under the direction OF Miss Milburn
appear in marches and drills, and many
pretty evolutions are made.

While this conversation was going on
Corporal Ratigan was listening and oh
serving the speakers with palpitating
heart There was something SO cold
cut in the generals tones that tho cor.
poral felt repugnance at his prisoner
being in his especial keeping. He pre-
ferred that she should be sent to soma
one else and was, relieved when he an.
nounced his intention TO shift the re-
sponsibility. Besides tho corporal
hoped that he would himself be intrust-
ed with her keeping until she should
arrive at some camp where the COM

'"Shall Oi take her to headquarters,

"Ah, my mani" said the general, as

Sutton Vane's romantic drama, Hu-
manity," won liberal applause from
large audience Mt Keith's Opera House
last evening. IL is play OF love, courage
and devotion to duty, vivified by striking
climaxes and enlivened with bright dia-
logue. The story of the drama centers
around the love OF a young English sol
dier and colonial heiress. They first
meet in England and after
fortunes of war in fort in South Africa
which q handful Of men are holding
against the Dutch Beers. A war CORE
spondent, the eptome OF villainy,
seducer, murderer and traitor,
conspires against the happiness
OF the hero and the heroine and seeks to
betray the English force into the hands
of the enemy. A money lender, who has
q conscience as we'll as an eye
for profit, succeeds in ultimately bringing
the story to happy denouement and in
cidentally supplies some pleasing bits Of
character comedy.
The company which presented the play
last evening Is competent one through
out. Joseph X. Grismer as Lieutenant
Bevis Cranbournc, and Phoebe Davies as
Alma Dunbar interpret their respective
parts with much credit. Frazer Coulter
as Major Dangerfield never allowed
the audience TO forget that he
was thoroughgoing villain, and Dore
Davidson as Manassas Marks was de-
cidedly clever. The character OF Mathew
Penn was carefully presented by &. w.
Couldock, while the remaining memb bers
of the company contributed their share
TO the success of the performance. "Hu-
manity" will remain at Keith's the bal
ance OF the week. 90.

Wednesday afternoon, where it was
ushered into the presence OF City Treas
urer Hartwell in the shape OF several
musty funding bonds issued by the city
in 1870. These bonds were the first ever
voted by the city of Los Angeles, the
authority for their being voted being
a special act Of the legislature approved
April .. 1870, entitled AN act to fund
the debt of the city of Los Angeles.
The bonds. which we're issued in de-
nominations of $50, $780, $3.50. $500 and
$1,000. bear the signature OF Joel II. Iur.
ner as mayor. John King as president OF

Up to yesterday Treasurer Hartwell has
paid out something like $5l. .0J0 in cash in
the cancellation of the bonds. and they
ceased to bear interest on Wednesday.
and the whole issue will probably have
been cancelled by the end of the present
