Smith O'Brien, the clever singing and dancing comedian, is at the head of the company, and as to his ability too much cannot be said. His voice is better this year than it has ever been, and as to his dancing, it is superb. He is ably assisted in his different specialties by Miss Lou cite Babcock and the clever little baby Mandeline. The play is beautifully staged, showing some of the most pie turesque spots in Ireland. Prices are 9, 35 and 90 cents and seats are now on sale.

..THE VOLUNTEER oRGANIsT.,

Much interest attaches to the pro duction of 1.-The Volunteer Organist' Thursday afternoon and evening at Polls, because of the splendid impress sion it made here last Fast Day. The play is of the pastoral order and is an idyl in it's way. The story of the drama is simple. and is blended with genuine comedy and exceptional pathos. Advance criticisms of the show speak in glowing terms of the cast and scenic effects. There is not a dull moment throughout the play, and the plot is never permitted to lag

Won by n Dead Man,

A valuable cup was won In a b.
cycle race in Australia by man who
was dead when he passed the winning
post. The race took place at an "elec-
tric light carnival" 50 called, in the
presence of 10000 spectators, In the
last lap James Somervile, a rider,
forged to the front and secured such q
lead that his victory was assured.
When within % yards of the finish
he was seen TO relax his hold on the
handle bars and lose his footing on the
pedals. He did not fall from the ma
chine, however, and amid frantic
cheers dashed by the goal winning
the race by half wheel. AS he pass
ed the finishing post he pitched for
ward and fell to the ground.
When he was picked up he was
found to be dead, and. what is more,
the doctors declared that death had
come to him when he was seen to lose
his hold on the handle bars. 1t was a
dead body that had ridfen- t1fe last Is

WAR SHIPS
Are Ordered TO Hasten TO
Chinese Waters
BY THE BRITISH
Caused By a Dispute With the
Russian Government

Portsmouth, Eng, Jan. 25.-It is
asserted here that the British first
class battleships Ocean and Canopus
have been ordered 10 hurry to Chinese
waters from the Mediterranean, in
connection with the dispute with Rus
sla over the Elliott and Blonde Is-
lands.
Shanghai, Jan 20.-( Delayed in
transmission)-As a result of the send
ing of the British gunboat Plover to
Blonde Island, eastward of Lietung to
suppress the pirates whose depreda-
tionS upon native craft were becom.
ing serious, the expedition succeeded
in destroying the offending piratical
junkS.
In connection with this matter
Vice Admiral Alexietl the Russian
commander has written to Vice Ad-
miral Seymour in command of the
British naval forces claiming that in
aSmuch as the islands are in Russian
territory the British action was un-
warranted. He expressed hope that
Admiral Seymour would view the
matter in the Same light.
Admiral Seymour replied to the eff,
feet that though he knew Port Ar
thur and Tallenwan were in Russian
territory he did not know that this
was the case regarding these islands
and that he was therefore unable to
coincide with Vice Admiral Alexietf 5
view; he could only refer the question
to his government. Admiral Sey-
mour thinkS that the Russian pre-
tentions to islands 30 miles from Port
Arthur ought not to be allowed. 1t
is the opinion of the British naval
commander that if admitted it would
almost naturally follow that Russia
would claim that Niaotao group lying
much nearer and extending across the
Gulf of Pe-Chi Ii. thus giving Rus
sia complete control OF the navigation
Of the Gulf.

HEALTH IS BEAUTY.
Practic al Suggestions That Are Of
Vl.aI intot est to WON'T n.

Health and beauty go together, and
both are desired by every true woman.
Not only those whose chief aim is to
be admired in the social world, but
hard working mothers and daughters
in country farm houses love tU make
themselves physically attractive and
need the strength and vigor which
are attendants uf good health. The
vital question for all, therefore, is,
how may health be maintained and,
restored when once it has been
lost?
The simplest answer that can be
given is that health may be pre-
served by maintaining the condivio
upon which it depends. Health, as
well as disease, is the result OF natural
causes. II the blood is free from all
impurities and is rich in nOurishing
qualities so that every organ, nerve
ard muscle is ted and sustained as
Nature intended, the result is sound
health; while, on the other hand, i'm
purilies in the blood necessarily scatter
disease through the system, anc the
weakest organ is shure to suffer first
anb most severely. When the vital
fluid is poor, thin and weak, and lack
ing in essential nourishing qualities,
the whole system becomes debil!ated
and " that tired feeling" morning,
noon and night, is the unavoidable
consequence.
In view Of these facts iJ is plain
why SO many lind health and strength
by the, use of Hoods SarSaparilla.
This medicine possesses peculiar
power to enrich and purify the blood.
1t drives out all poisonous germs,
increases and vitalizes the little red
corpuscles that give the rich red tent
to the blood, creates good appetite
and tones the stomache so that food
is digested and assimilated, or convert
ed into nourishment for the various
organs, and imparts strength to the
whole body. And just as the weak
est organ most readily feels the attacks
of disease, SO the great building up
and health restoring power Of Hoods
Sarsaparilla goes directly to the weak
eSu parU ana prOMptly repairs Ine H.
jury that has b9en inflicted by such
attacks.
The change which comes to the
tired and worn woman who takes
Hoods Sarsaparilla is indeed marvel
Gus. Vast numbers OF testimonials
have told the story over and over
again-how women were weak and
tired. pale and sickly, and hardly able
to drag themselves around; how Hoods
Sarsapar,lla brought appetite, food
began to taste good, strength return
ed, new life and vigor were left, and
pure rich blood which Hoods Sarsapa.
rilla made gave back to the faded
cheeks the roses of youth, and to
the wasted frame the strength and
beauty of health.
