AN old disease now attracting new at
| tention, says the Free Press, is called
"Mol bus Sabbaticus," more familiarly
known as Sunday sickness. One of the
pecularities of this disease is that it at.
lacks people only during the hour pre-.
ceding church service and it wanes with
the sounding of two strikes on the
church bell. 1t is just serious enough to
keep people from attending church, but
does not incapacitate them for pedestr-

chronic but also hopeless. Fortunately
it is not contagious, and it is usually not

THE "Dazzler'' will be seen at the
Opera House April 4th. This is a return
engagement. The Albany Express of
March 9th, 1894, says: "One of the best
attractions brought here by manager
Smith IS "The Dazzler," which opened
its three days engagement in Harmauus
Blocker Hall yesterday. The show has
much to recommend it-a large company
of pretty and talented women, gorgeous
costumes and very amusing play The
company is about the same as when the
piece was given in the old Albany theatre
early in the season. Mr.. Raymond Find
