When a young man asks father for his
daughters hand in marriage, if the father
is wise one, he thinks of one thing equal
ly as important as the young mans morals
social and business standing and intelli-
gence. A young man who suffers from i'll
health has no right to marry until .his health
is restored. To do so is to commit crime
against the human race. While all diseases
may not be directly inherited, the constitu-
tional tendency to acquire them is inner
tied. If a man is a consumptive, the
chances are that his children will have
weak, undersized lungs, and predisposi-
ton to acquire the same disease.
The young man who suffers from bron-
chitis, weak lungs, splitting of blood or any
disease of the air passages which, if neg
lectcd leads up to consumption, may take
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery with
almost absolute assurance of recovery. 1t
cures oS per cent. of all cases when taken
in time. 1t soothes and heals the delicate
and sensitive tissues of the air passages and
lungs, checks the cough, facilitates expect
oration, drives out all impurities and dis
ease germs from the tainted blood and
builds new and healthy tissues.

acting is reminiscent of parior theatre
Gals. but she sings with enough ability to
make one forget that. The supporting or

his music. but, in addition, he seems to
improve with every effort. The result is
that one has in the present entertainment

'The Idols Eye" and that each of them
is more laughable and more able than

ingenuity of a dancing master who sub

But the music, After hearing The

that his previous liklngs were puerile.
for in this score Mr. Herbert has not
only outdone himself but nearly everyone
else VINO ever established standard to
be surpassed. He has composed catchy
airs and dainty ballads and glorious en-
sembles, together with three finales that

nia-a choral climax that reminds one Of
the school in which DoniZetti died and
Verdi was born: Il closing march that
has all the swing of a SOusa master
piece; and combination OF melodies that
permits of one leaving the theater with
a completely new stock of whistling ma
terial. He has produced military quick
steps for the brass instruments; quaint
waltzes for the stringed ones and topical
songs for reeds. Above all, this wonder
full man has shown at once his versa
tility and depth by using n strange knOw!-
edge of color in national music to bring
out a collection of the most characteristic
gems in the world-Italian. French. Span
ish, Ethiopian and even Chinese, finally
throwing all into insignificance with a
Hungarian "czardas" in which are COM
bined the wild, weird movements of i
barbarous race with something of that
empowered refinement notable in TWO or
three of LisZt's rhapsodies.
In brief there has never been heard in
this city a comic opera in which there Is
a score that comes within sight of that

these clements as does this latest. The
music is full of charm and grace, of nov

Good news came from Admiral

Raleigh and Concord have destroyed
a Spanish fort in the bay of Subig and
captured it's garrison of 1900 men
with all their guns and ammunition,
without the loss of an American.
This capture was precipitated by the
action of the German gunboat Irene,
who had taken upon himself the au-
thority to forbid the Philippine in
surgents attacking the fort. He took
his gunboat out of range Of the Amer
lean shells as soon as he saw the
