ACTRESSES ANNOYED.
Dorothy Drew and Theresa Vaughn
Terrified by New Yorker.

Chicago, Nov. 17-Overzealous atten-
tions to Miss Theresa Vaughn and Miss
Dorothy Drew, members of the ~Whirl Of
the Town" company. by a stylishly dress
ed young man, who represented himself
to be the son of Commodore Moller of
the New York Yacht club, We're the cause
of an exciting battle at the stage door of
the Columbia theater Saturday night be-
tween the womens admlrer, his compa-
ion and the stage hands. tThe odds were
against the visitors, and as the fight grew
warm the man calling himself Mr. Moller
drew revolver This was the signal for
renewed onslaught by the muscular
stage hands, and before he knew it the
man with revolver was landed in an
ignominious manner in the dark alley,
where he was left to find his way out as
best he could
The young man, who said his name was
Moller, has been at the performance every
night since Tuesday. Accompanied by
two friends he occupied a box Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday evenings. On the
other nights they contented themselves
with seats in the first row.
The box occupied by the New Yorker
and his companion Saturday night was
the nearest to the left side of the proscen-
ium. The performance was drawing to a
close when the New Yorker made his way
to the stage door and asked that his card
be sent TO Miss Vaughn.
Miss Vaughn does not want to see
you" said Manager Edward D. Shultz,
''and you cannot see her."
Il would like to see any man stop me"
exclaimed the excited caller, and with
that he and his companion tried to force
themselves through the door.
Some of the players were leaving and
there was considerable commotfon at the
exit. Mr.. Shultz called several stage
hands and ordered them to put the in
truder out. Then a lively battle ensued.
The visitor tried to knock his assailants
down, but as he saw his meager chances
for victory he finally drew revolver.
The next moment three men had caught
him by his arms and half pushed and half
dragged him out of the door and threw
him into the alley.
Commodore Moller, whom the New
Yorker claims as father, was last season
the president of the New York Yacht
club. His wealth runs up into the mil
lions.
Neither the young man who claims to
be Commodore Mollers son nor his COM
panion were at the performance last
night. They had seats engaged, but failed
to put in appearance.

Shadow of Herself
Stomach Was Too Weak
to Retain Food
A Complete Cure Effected by
Hoods SarsapariIIa
Now Enjoying the Best Of Health,
With Digestion Perfect.

"My mother was subject to sick head
aches and indigestion for over a year.
She was unable to stand for any length
of time, and was obliged to stay in dark
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was 50 weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered SO much
that she became but the shadow of her
self. One day I happened to read a tes-
timonial about Hoods SarsapariIIa. 1t
Sounded So Truthful
persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla and
several boxes of Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
of health. Her digestion is good and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. She
is 40 years old and says she feels as well
as when she was 16. Hoods Sarsaparilla
made a complete cure in her case"

Coucerning tie report OF the State
Board OF Health IN regard to the few
er at Gleason College. The Board OF
Trustees makes the following state
,rent:
The Board Of Trustees Of Clemson
! College, mindful of the imDortarl
trust in their charoe, feel called on 10
make a statement for the information
Of the people Of tie State in regarc 10
The recent sickness at the college and
It's causes.
I've have read the report Of the
iState Board of Health, and have also
! had under consideration the report OF
the college surgeon, Dr.. R-diearn. IN
addition 70 the light thus thrown OF
1.-THE subject. We have made personal
examination oi the college buildings
auG the surrounding grounds, AID we
are net satisfied st al as to he nature
OF The fever which has prevailed or as
10 It's cauSe.
I'VE have great respect for the sci
entifc ability and learning OF the
State Board of Health, tu. we are
bound to question their conclusions,
from TIE fact that eminent physicians
in the neighboring COUNTIES nave de,
clared the fever at the college TO be
malarial and not typhoid in lis Ms
ture and there is grave doubt whether
more than four cases Of typhoid fever
have been st the college this year.
The cursory and imperfect exasni.
nation made by the State Board OF
Health is shown by the iscl that two
palpable errors are made in their re-
port. The dairy, which they place
under the ban as probable cause Of
disease, was not built on pono which
had been filed in, and there is not a
single privy on the surrounding
hills" above the dairy. The water
from the only privy n the neigh Dor
hood reaches the rayine below the
dairy. Then the statement is made,
three separate times, that the water
closets should be outside the barracks
and not inside, and should be de
tachedn from them. Ia fact, the wa
terclosets were removed from the
building more than two years ago, and
they are now detached, with an open
current of air passing between. They
are reached by a latiicad gallery hf,
teen feet long, ard there is 10 posi-
bility of sewer gas getting into the
building.
But we are not disposed to criticise
the State Board of Health, aud will
carry out ali Of their recommenda-
tions that are possible, and leave no
stone uatUrned to al1ay all cause Of
doubt as to the proper sanitation OF
the college buildings and grounds.
1--WE have never had any troubIe
before, ard we anticipate none IN the
future other than the usual climatic
and unavoidable disease OF the coun-
try.
The vacation will be changed, and
instead OF being in the winter will bs
in summer, the scholastic year begin
ming hereafter ca the second Wednes
day in September and closing the Sec
ond Thursday in June.
Every suggested or possible cause
of fever will be removed and the
building thoroughly disinfec.ed aad
put in good order.
I've do not hesitate to give assur-
ances that the collage will oe gua1ded
against a recurrence ct the trouble, II
