At the Opera House.

Notwithstanding the sudden
drop of the weather last night, a
fair audience witnessed the pro-
duction of Fanchon the Cricket
by the Ewing-Taylor combination
at the opera house, and they were
certainly delighted with the treat.
The company seemed at it's best,
and this charming little play was
presented better than ever seen in
our city. The specialties were
fully up to the excellent standard
of the company and were fully en-
joyed by those present.
Tonight Leah. the Forsaken'i
will be presented. This is one OF
this company's best pieces, and
with Miss Ewing in the title role
is certain to draw a big house.

not heart in that audience that did
rot send up little heartfelt prayer
for the future welfare of these two
most fortunate young people, for
''all the world loves a lover" and
they knew that this was a union of
hearts as well as hands:
Two souls with but a single thought.
Two hearts that beat as one."

they and the relatives and best loved
friends of the newly welded pair

after many congratulations and best
wishes for their eternal, as we'll as
their temporal welfare, this brilliant
wedding came to an end, all, as they

Cigarette Smoking.

One of the gravest facts relating 10
the harmfulness of cigarette smoking
to excess is one that has lately come to
light. In two distinct cases, recently
related, with initials and dates, by Dr.
Forbes WinslOw, it was necessary to
apply leeches to persistent cigarette
smokers. To the no small surprise of
the doctors respectively in attendance,
both the leeches-they are creatures OF
very strong vitality-presently re-
leased their hold and were observed to
drop dead. So notable was this fact
that the experiment was tried of ap-
plying leeches to other patients who
we're then under treatment for Excess
sive cigarette smoking, and in every
case the leeches died almost immediate
lly. Distinct traces of the dangerous
empyreumatic oil that is given of by
t ,bacco under certain conditions were
found i'm the leeches. The same exper
ment was tried with excessive pip<
smokers, with no apparent injury Il
