When remedy has no equal It is up
to date. and little in advance of all
other remedies for a specified COM

held that medicine containing a little

remedy for every complaint. We laugh
at such foollshness to-day and wonder
It was ever thought wisdom. The max
i'm to-day is, learn what the disease Is
and apply the remedy which has prov

ties rule the day, and single organ,

highest distinction In the medical pro-
fesslOn. The kidneys are wonderfully
constructed. Do you know just what
their functions are? They are the lab

has sent orders to Admiral Sampson to
notify Admiral Cervera that, if the lat

and the two torpedo boat destroyers to
prevent their falling into our hands,
Spain at the end of the war will be
made to pay an additional indemnity

1T has been realized all along that
the Spanish Admiral rather than per-

last moment, when he saw that further
resistance was useless, prefer to blow
them UP, perhaps going so far as to
carry himself and his men along with

a PLAYHOUSE BLAZE.
Fire Destroys Painted Rocks and
Stage Properties.

New York, June u.-Koster & Biars
Music Hall, in West Thirty-fourth Street,
had very narrow escape from destruc-
ton by fire last evening
Workmen had been busy all day getting
the roof garden in readiness for opening
and just as they were leaving. about G:30
o'clock. one of them noticed some smoke
issuing from a small frame shed at the
Thtrty-fifth Street end of the building
used for the storage of stage properties
He investigated, and TO his CONSERVATION
discovered that the interior Of the shed
was a mass of flames
The alarm spread quickly and in a few
minutes Thirty-fifth Street was full Of
putting fire engines and hurrying firemen
BY this time the flames had burst out Of
the shed and were leaping fifteen feet
into the air. plainly visible to the crowd
below. Every moment there was danger
that they would eat their way through
the roof to the scenery in the flies, Just
beneath, and then the whole building
would be doomed.
The firemen recognized the danger. and
not moment was lost. A line Of hose
100 feet long was quickly stretched down
the side of the building from the roof TO
the fire hydrants in the street, and in a
short time lne fire was out. heap Of
debris. OF what had once been gflded lions
and papier mache rocks and stacks of
battle axes and spears, was all that was
left last night to show where the fire had
been. and very few persons in the big au-
dience that assembled to witness the per-
formance down stairs knew how near
they had come to being deprived of their
evenings entertainment.
It was estimated that the loss in prop
erty destroyed and damage to the roof
would not amount TO more than 500. 1t
is supposed that the fire was started by
an electric light wire.

The naval officers have been doing

the purpose of gaining information. Up

work has chiefly deyolved.
Lieutenant Sharp, of the Vixen, and
Lieutenant Commander Delehanty, of the
Suwanee. have been daily intrusted with
important missions and have carried them
out successfully The Vixen's work has
been chiefly confined TO carrying messages

hard up for supplies and ammunition, and
were faily overjoyed at the sight of the
