HeXadactylous, or siX-fingered people. He
has received 155 answers from six toed or

up an infiiction of six maladies at once,
but there are multitudes afflicted with bill

health. Biliousness is usually complicated
with constipation and dyspepsia, all these
maladies being promptly remediabe by
the aid of the Bitters which also over
comes and prevents malaral complaints,
rheumatism, nervousness and inactivity of
the kidneys and bladder. Life's turmoils
and anxeties often wear out the most

induce premature decay OF the vital ener-

Of romance which renders him an ideal

bearing and fortitude commanding the ad-

of the frontier. He was soon sent to
Fortress Monroe. where he received some
schooling, being apt and quick to learn
and possessing q remarkably retentive
memory.
A short farming experience. and a trial of
several trades subsequently convinced his
friends that q professional career wouii
prove more congenial to the young Apache
whose love for books increased as he grew
older. He was also afforded opportunities
for considerable travel, and In 1880 at

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
s.4~1~.9@~~@@ @@~~~H0-

The third week of the opera season at
the Grand opened last night with a large
audience. The new bill was Offenbach's
! THE Brigands." an opera OF musical
dignity and dramatic value. with consid-
cradle comedy interest. II is in some
respects the most interesting bill the COM
pany has yet presented. Ii is especially
attractive in ohoruses. which are sung very
effectively by this aggregation. 1t is very
picturesque in costuming and several OF
the principals are interestingly cast.
The success which the opera attained
when IT was employed as one of the numer-
Gus Casino bills. has given il a wide repu-
tatiOn. Many have been familiar with some
of its music without having had an oppOr-
tunity to hear the opera sung. Others have
awaited another opportunity to hear the
pretty melody that is introduced by Flor
ella and is afterwards a recurrent theme
throughout the opera.
The performance last night was the best
first-night performance yet given. The
first and last acts went especially well.
The second was less effectively played.
Miss Waltzinger has in Fiorella the most
attractive role she has yet given during
this opera season. She looks the brigand
girl perfectly and the music. although more
exdcting than she has been singing. comes
easily within her range. and Is sung with
characteristic brilliancy. Personally she is
even more charming than she was in The
Tar ana tne IdFIdF.
Mr. BOniface, in the role of Pietro Is
less conspicuous than he has been. but
the part is a peculiarly droll and amusing
one. He makes more of it than has gem
orally been made by the Operatic cOmedi-
ans. In the last act he introduced MIR.
johnson, Turn Me Loose" with the chorus
in the gallery. The number made quite
as big a hit as the Bully" song inter
polated last week Mr. Terrence in the
role of Falsacappa. has part TO his lik-
ing. and one that meets his peculiar abiIi-
ties He reminds one Of W. II. Mcdonald
in the character of Falsacappa. FrageO-
letta is the best performance Miss Estee
has yet given. II is more legitimate in
dramatic proportions and her voice seems
better suited to the music. Miss Chapman
graced the small part of the Duke of Man
tua. although no music fell to her lot
Mr.. Walker as Joseph and Miss Janvier
as the Princess Of Granada played small
parts conspicuously well.
The special features OF this week at the
Grand will be bicycle night. Friday and
Mr.. Bonlface's reception after the Satur-
day matinee.
