rheumatism in every muscle and
joint, her suffering was terrible, and
her body and face we're swollen al
most beyond recognition; had been
in bed for elk weeks and had eight
ply sicians but received no benefit
until she tried the Mystic Cure for

in which she has participated, the
undaunted patriotism that is bound
in the end to subdue the barbsrous

crisp, clean use of the pedal his intelli-

mass of counterpoint, showed him to be
a scholarly player. and an accomplished
master of his instrument. The same
may be said Of his reading Of the Schu-
mann Canon In b minor" 1t was ade-
Quate and artistic. The lighter organ
numbers were treated accordingly, and
of them Wolstenholmes THE Ques-
tion," a poetic, plaintive little eempo-
sition full OF minor melody and vaguer

tervals was quite the most beautiful and
enjoyable. Mr.. ekeele had cordial ap-
plause at the conclusion Of each Of his
numbers and several recalls. The or

THE PASADENA AND PACIFIC
Andrew McNally Denies Reports
lz.l

ErCpdSdI5u 9SC0f0aY
A sensational story published in an
evening paper concerning the proposed
extensions OF the Pasadena and Pacific
electric line does not appear to be war
ranted by the facts In the case.
>Learning that a rumor of an extern
sion was current yesterday, a Herald
reporter called on Andrew McNally,
who was mentioned as one of the prime
movers in the affair, for the purpose Of
learning just how much truth there was
In the report.
Mr.. McNally was found at the Califor-
MIA club and willingly granted an in
terview. He stated that he had some
eastern friends who were considering
the advantages offered by the road for
profitable investment, and might take
up some Of the outstanding bonds of the
company, in which case some improve
ments would probably be made.
Nothing definite had been settled
upon the matter, however, and so far as
having already mapped out line OF
improvements, there was no truth in the
statement whatever.
He also positively denied that there
was any change Of management con.
templated such as the evening paper
had asserted, and that there was no
significance whatever to be attached tc
the request OF the company in asking
for a Pasadena franchise so far as II
should relate to extensions of re9r-
ganized company.
