Events of the ComIne Year.

The coming year will be a period
memorable in the history of the world,
if but part of the plans of the Uni
ted States Government and Europe
an nations is carried out. In the
United States, there will be the live
liest presidential campaign ever held,
and the Fifty-fourth congress, now
in session, will furnish exceedingly
interesting debates on the tariff and
financial questions until June. There
will be several exciting state
elections and many great political
speeches. Every one will watch
with interest the progress ofthe Ven
ezuelan commission inquiry, the re
suits of the wars in Cuba, in South
Africa. in Turkey, and the outcome
of other complications now arising
in the Old World.
1t is a remarkable coincidence that
at the beginning of a year of such
rich promise of stirring news the great
est metropolitan newspaper in the
limited States The St. Louis Repub-
lie, should reduce its price to So a
wear. or 10 less than two cents day.
This low price now places the Re
public within the reach of everyone.
Those who wish to keep posted on
Dolitics, trade, national and interna-
iionaI affairs, during 1896, should at
once subscribe for it on these terms,
in addition to taking their own local
paper.
Newspaper readers who may think
they cannot afford to take a metro
politan daily paper, should at once
subscribe for the "Twice a Week
RepubIic-1O4 papers a year, for only
81 a year. Ii contains the best OF
everything that appears in the daily.

Hebron Drug Co,

Lovers of perfume will be
pleased to know that an emf
nent French specialist has dis
covered that many of these
fragrant essences are not only
harmless, but of actual value
to health. He demonstrates
this fact by the result of ex-
periments whereby he exposed
a number of disease microbes to
the action of various essential
oils distilled from flowers and
plants. Bitter almond, thyme,
lemon, and mint proved exceed
ingly killing, while lavender
ranked higher than either euca-
lyptus, turpentine or camphor.
We have an immense assOrt-
ment of Roger & Gallet's famous
French perfumes direct from
the factory. We are selling
them at popular prices as usual.

BERNHARDT PAINTED.
She overtaxed Her Strength Trying to
Electrify Davenport.

Boston, Mass, April Miss Fanny
Davenport yesterday afternoon took
advantage of the fact that she gave no
performance and went to the fremont
theater to see Nine. Bernhardt, occu-
plying a box close to the stage
Bernhardt knew that she was there
She could not very we'll help it.
Everybody said that Madame outdid
herself. The result was seen at the
evening performance. Bernhardt faint
ed dead away at the close of the third
act, and the curtain was rllng down be-
fore she finished her lines. The story
did not leak out until today, as it was
kept quiet last night, hardly anyone
knowing that she had tainted. She
had completed a sentence, when she
grew pale and put her hand to her
heart. She was fun of grit. however,
and by a mighty effort sustained her
self until the curtain fell, when she
dropped to the stage, an inert mass.
After a pause of a few extra minutes.
during which it was explained by the
management that Madame was Slight
" indispOsed, she reappeared in the
concluding acts.
1t is said that Bernhard is so ex-
asperated because she could not affect
Davenport sufficiently to make her ap-
plaud that her nerves went back on
her. Davenport, when interviewed af-
forwards, declined to criticise Bern
hardt, but said that her version of
"GismOnda' was better than Bern
hardt's.

FROST FOR NINE. DUSE.
Cancels Her Chicago Engagement
Owing to the Small Advance Sales.

Chicago. April 4-ElonOra Duse
whose praises eastern critics have
sounded till even the Divine Sarah is
said to have trembled for her 1aurels
and her precedence, has been given the
cold shoulder by Chicago theater- go
ers. Her subscription ticket sale has
ben q signal failure Bernhardt will
not have to do the shoe latsh act. She
viii open her engagement May 4, as
scheduled, but Duse. who was billed to
appear at the same time, viii not show
here.
Col J.. L. Sharpe yesterday tele-
graphed to Henry c.. Miner and Joseph
Brooks, buses managers, advising
them against coming to Chicago. The
reason for the discoura ging advice was
that the first two days receipts of
the subscription ticket sale netted only
$500 and it was thought the outlook
for the week was too discOuraging for
the managers, who are under contract
to pay the star a certain amount for
every performance, whether it be to
crowded houses or empty seats.
The rebuff implied by this short sale
is not taken as a serious reflection on
the actress and her work. Lack Of IA
miliarity with Italian on the part of
ChicagOans and the date Of the sub
scripton sale, a whole month before
the opening of the engagement. is
given as the cause of the limited sale
