the ancient directories go to the corner

just as hard to get a new directory in

houses in this city that have used the

residents for the last FIVE years, and
they have not tired of IL as yet.
MANY OF the large corporations send
their old annual TO out town branch

around. This Is especially so of rail-
road companies. / dare say many pri-

them, but they are not as obtainable

perience / have never seen an old New

Strange is II not? They may be ex-
posed for sale, for all that, but they
must be gobbled up so soon after be-

Dreadful
Malaria.

There are numerous diseases having
their origin in the blood, but which on
the surface do not appear to be blood
disease. Such is Malaria, which is a
poison breathed into the lungs, and thus
taken into the blood and circulated, i'm
buing the entire system with its morbid
effects. Those who have suffered from
this dreaded disease know what life
less condition ensues and how the vitality
is wasted away so that death is often
caused by some simple malady, because
OF the low ebb to which life is reduced
by this poverty of blood. This condi-
ton of the blood often gives rise to
boils, carbuncles, Assesses and ulcers,
and not infrequently causes catarrh,
bronchitis, and even consumption.

Julia Nelson, is now in this country

Leo Dietrichstein, who has been play
ing in THE Goddess of TRUTH" Of
which production Lillian Russell is the
star, possesses some rather original no.
tons of his own Importance. One even
ing Miss Russell in the last scene of
the opera, did not speak the lines exact
ly as they were written, but laughingly
said something to Dietrichstein that
was not in the libretto, but was quite
harmless. The actor frowned darkly.
and after the curtain came down he
said, so that several persons heard him:
II do not like that sort of thing. 1 am
not accustomed to ii. / shall not go

The Russian papers announce the
death, at the age of SO, of the famous
prima donna, Mile. Lenova, who, par
ticularly in Glinka's Life of the Tar

first, in 1879, to tour as a prima donna
through Siberia, but in Japan she con-
tracted a throat illness which subse-

Second-He whose appointment is on a
commission basis and whose payment

office and pays all incidental expenses
