GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.

How Ole Bull Kept His Word to a
Steamer Crowd.
Although ole Bull, the violinist,
crossed the ocean many times, he
made a strict rule never to play at
the charity concert" always IA
feature of the Atlantic voyages. He
made one exception, however, and
that exception was recalled with
keenest interest by an old resident Of
New Orleans in conversation with a
representative of the Times Demo
Graf,
The incident occurred in 1873 ON
the steamer Celtic, which had on
board, among other notable passen
gers, Ole Bull, Chief Justice Waite
and Prof, r. Il. Anderson, afterwards
minister to Denmark, The steamer
concert was proposed, and as usual
Ole Bull declined to take part The
passengers were deeply disappointed,
and at this crisis Prof. Anderson
came TO the rescue.
There is one way, and one only"
he said lin which our man may be
caught A fund is being raised at
present to erect a statue Of Left Erik
son, the Norseman, at Madison, Wis
consin, where l live. Ole Bull is in.
tensely patriotic, and if we made a
written statement to him that the pro-
CCods of the concert we're to be con
tibutod to do this honor to his inn
mortal fellow Countrymau. | am sure
he would consent to play"
The suggestion was greeted with ap-
plause, and Chief Justice Waite pre-,
pared the memorial which was a most
ingenious and elaborate document.
Duly signed by all the passengers, It
was presented to Ole Bull and when
h saw the purport Of the paper his
face lighted up with pleasure, and he
declared Immediately that he would
play.
He was as good as his word and al
though I have heard him many times
| never heard him in such wonderful
form and spirit. lie responded to en-
core after encore, until at last the cap
tain, who was n typical Englshman,
rose in the audience and asked him to
play God Save the Queen.
Now Ole Bull was a violent republi-
can, and had little respect for mon
archcial institutions of any kind
However, he bowed, courtcrously, and
whispered to me: You heard me
promise to play God Save the Queen.
Now wait till come to that" Finally
it was reached and true to his prom
Use, he gave the British anthem, but
without spirit or color.
Instantly upon its conclusion he
swept into the stirring strains of
Hail Columbia, and played with
magnificent dash and fire. Then with
no stop he passed to the Norwegian
Hymn of Liberty, Almost thrillingly
patriotic composition. The manner
in which he rendered it was simply
electrifying. Then. as he finished, he
caught my eye and smiled He had
buried God Save the Queen so deep
that nobody remembered that It had
been played Companion.

clean and witty. The company,

all the big cities, has become famous
as the 05roadway Comedians, and
is headed by the favorite merry
maker. William H. Mack.

only one company, viz, the great
Williams & Walker organization, pre-
senting "Sons of Ham" The per-
Torrance wherever given will be
found exact in every detail with those
of the long metropolitan runs, and
each scene, feature and incident
which all in all have made this the
most striking theatrical success of
the century will be faithfully pre-
served. There are 80 people all told
in this company and each and every
one an artist. A car load of special

IN THE AIR.
The Germs of La Grippe are Conveye,
Through the Atmosphere.

The Germs of La Grippe are Conveyed
Through the Atmosphere.
No one can escape the la grippe
germ because when an epidemic of
the disease is prevsiling the air is
laden with it.
The reason everyone does not have
the disease at the same time is be-
cause the persons who are enjoying
perfecs health are able to successfully
resist and throw off the infection.
while those, who for any reason are
not in the best of health fall ready
victims.
The first symptoms are those of
acute catarrh resem bling a hard cold.
and if prompt treatment is applied at
this time, it can easily be broken up;
one of the best remedies at this stage
is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, sold by
druggists every where, and if taken
freely, say one tablet every hour or
two for two or three days. the danger
of pneumonia and serious complica-
tions will be averted.
Rev. l.. Z. Palmer, Baptist clergy
maa of Ceresco, Mich. makes state
ment of interest to all catarrh and
grip sufferers. He says: "Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets have certainly been a
blessing to me. ! have used them
freely this fall and winter and have
found them a safeguard against la
grippe and catarrhal troubles from
which / had suffered for years. l feel
that | can freely and conscientiously
recommend them"
Persons who suffer from catarrh OF
the head and throat ate very suscep-
tible to la grippe and such will lind
pleasant, convenient and safe re medy
in this new catarrh cure.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are COM
posed entirely of harmless antiseptics
and may be used as freely as neces-
sary, as they contain no Ct caine e,
opiate or poisonous drug of any kind.
