repertoire of popular operas at popular
prices. The engagement will open with
Miss Agnes Huntington's greatest sue
cess, paul Jones'" to be seen for the
first time here at low prices. The success
of Waite's Opera company, at every point
visited by 1t for the past seventy-fiVe
consecutive weeks is considered unap-
preached by any other stage attraction

standing room is at a premium at every
entertainment, which is the greatest
proof of the high quality of the different
productions, and the satisfaction given to
the patrons. The company numbers fifty
carefully selected, includes three well
known prima donnas, two popular tenors

usual essentials of a strong cast as well
as it's own orchestra. The daily matinees

Such suffering as rheumatism causes the
victims upon whom II fastens itself is al
most uncomfortable.
Sufferers from the worst types Of this ter
riblc disease will supply the missing hor-
rors in the following story from real Life.
Those who writhe under milder forms
of rheumatism will be able to imagine the
feelings of the tortured victim.
The only justification for making public
such heart-rending details is the fact that
the lesson taught will be helpful to others,
pointing the way to renewed lite and health
to every sufferer from rheumatism.
The story Is told by q woman. He-
name is Mrs. Caleb Fenly; she lives in
ST. Paul, Ind.
This is her account:
"I am a farmers wife. I believe my

my terrible attack Of rheumatism. Damp

WILLARD MEMORIAL SERVICE.
Was Conducted Last Night in the
African NJ. l.. Church.

Rev. II. A. Grant, b. D., delivered
lecture last night at the memorial
service in the African Methodist Epis-
copal church for the late Francis L.
Willard The following is a synopsis
of his remarks.
The Afro-American is not slow to
speak of and to give credit to the
work and worth Of all to whatever race
they may belong. Therefore we deem
this a fitting occasion to hold memoir
ial service in memory of the late Miss
Frances f. Willard, president of the
Worlds and National Woman's Chris
tian Temperance union. While we took
exceptions to the work of Miss Will

reference to humanity as a whole, we

was in the year of February, 1886, Miss
Willard said: Parties are like whirl-

if the breath of God moves that ascend

ers. Miss Willard worked for God and
home and native land, and let us be
hopeful that the cause which she es-
pOused shall move forward in broth

Washington.
"Miss Willard believed I'm first bulk

which demanded the whole of her ma

Mrs. II. A. Grant, Mrs. Cephas Scott,
Mrs. Ida Pierce and others spoke along
the lines of temperance, and in glow
ing terms of Miss Willard.

ment from Dr. George r. Reynolds
that he had attended Price from Jan.
l to Jan. 2l. 1898, for grippe and a con-
fusion of the scalp; also bills for at
tendance and drugs purchased of

Chief Hickey sent word to the COM
mittee that he understood the letter to
mean that the fremen intended to go
to law to secure control of the fund de-
rived from the tax on foreign fire in
surance companies. which was intend
ed for the relief of sick and disabled
ties, they have been unable to get hold
of. A test case will be made of Prices

The auditing committee referred the
matter back to councils with a sugges-
tion that it be submitted to the fire

The small amount of $40 was the
matter at issue in the case of Edward

latter was constable of the Second

JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.

In the case of Michael Reap against
the city of Scranton the Judgment for
the PLAINTIFF was affirmed. Reap sued
for damages for land taken by the city
for the approach to a bridge over Leg
gctts creek in Providence. E. +.

gineer, ran street line which cut off

held that Reap had encroachcd on the

the city's summary ejectment proceed

good law and the superior court said
ditto.
The cases of Catherine Bittenbender
