AN UNUSUAL ATTRACTION.
"Fabio Romani" TO Be Presented by q
Strong Company.

ouOng company.
Alden Benedict's "Fabio Romani"
will he presented at the opera house in
Identification by Chas. w. Chase, of
Marie Correlli's famous novel entitled
The Vendetta. )" 1t is a very interest
ing story and the interest is much
strengthened by the dramatic produc-
ton. 1t is a melodrama with sense
and consistency, as we'll as undeniable
power and untlagging interest. It is
filed with interesting dramatic scenes
which grapple fast to heart strings, and
the comedy, which comes in naturally,
is not only genuine but appropriate.
The play is we'll staged, the company
carrying all the scenery for the produc-
ton. The great earthquake scene in
the last act is wonderfully realistic.
The plot starts with the deception of
husband who is afterwards buried alive
by his wife and best friend, but emerg-
es from the tomb, and the punishment
melted out to the erring pair by that
husband is truly affective theme and
is we'll worked out by the damatist.
The company is specially engaged for
the characters assigned them. Walter
Lawrence (who assumes the dual role
of Fabio Romani and Cesare Olivia is a
most finished actor whom the older in
habitants of our growing city delighted
to honor in its earlier days, and hose
appearance here once again will, we
hope, be appreciated by an immense
house. Mr.. Lawrence is an actor in
every sense of the word, and his sup
port, including Miss Martha Beauford,
(who assumes the role of the false wife)
is composed of people of known merit
and competency. Miss Ollie Cooke
will appear in her famous dances, as
performed by her at the Pan-American
Exposition.

NAVAL AFFAIRS.
secy. Moody Submits His Annual
Report on Them.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Secy. Moody
OF the navy has issued his annual re-
port.
After referring to The cordial rela-
tions everywhere existing between the
army and the navy, to the work OF the
navy in connection with the disturbed
conditions In the West Indies and Cen
trail America, Secy. Moody says:
1.-THE task which Is employing the
highest energies Of the navy and re-
ceiying the greatest attention from the
heads OF bureaus. the commanders-in-
chief Of station, the commanding and
subordinate officers OF squadrons, divi-
sions and single vessels everywhere Is
tho work OF training. To the Develop
ment OF the greatest efficiency In all
branches of the service the attention.
zeal and thought OF those In charge Is
mainly directed. This Is an eta OF
training. The reports Of the several
bureaus are largely made up OF oriti-
cisms upon and plans for the improve
ment Of present systems of practice,
drill and instructions.
among the most important lessons
learned in the war with Spain was that
a modern navy cannot be improvised
during war or upon the threshold OF
q war.
'The country approves with hardly
dissenting voice the policy of
STRENGTHENING our power upon the sea.
There must be additional naval and
coallng stations. more ships, lighting
and auxiliary, and an Increase OF Of
fcers and men.
"The most imperative need Of the
navy today is OF additional officers.
cannot overstate this need. IL Invites
the instant attention Of Congress, The
administration of the department Is
embarrassed almost daily by the lack
OF officers below command rank.
81 am Informed that under existing
conditions 1856 graduates OF the naval
academy may be expected during these
four years. There Is no other source OF
supply except a number. not exceeding
six per annum. which may be obtained
by the promotion OF enlisted men.
eThe officers We need can be obtained
from three sources 0nly--by appoint
ment from civil life, by promotion from
the ranks, or by education and train
ing at the naval academy. The first
source has been so uniformly rejected
by the opinions OF all, that i Will not
discuss II. Congress has indicated It's
opinion by abandoning this method In
the army and marine corps, and would
not. Il Is assumed, adopt II for the line
OF the navy. The law already allows
promotions from the ranks OF not ex-
ceeding six enlisted men per annum.
Il recommend that this law be
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1902-11-29

amended so as TO permit the promotion
of not more than IL per annum.
But the main source OF our supply
of officers must be from the naval
academy. The duties OF the modern
naval officer are so varied and complex
that they demand a rigorous and pro-
tracted education and training. This
training and education can be best OBJ
tanned at the national school at An
napolis This school produces officers
the equal OF any In the world"
The secretary goes on to say;
After most careful consideration, !
believe II TO be my duty TO recommend
a continuance without interruption OF
the increase Of ships. The precise type
of ships authorized must, of course,
like the authorization itself be referred
to the wisdom OF Congress. to whose
committees recommendation in detail
may be made. Differences Of opinion
exist among naval authorities but all
agree that not less than two battle
ships should be among the number au-
thorized, Whether the others should be
of the armored cruiser type or Of the
unarmored cruiser and gunboat type,
which have proved so useful, may wen
be left for future discussion"

threatened TO become very serious. The
doctors advised that he seek more IA

Peruna as specific for lung trouble he
decided TO give IT trial before he left

Shores & Shores make a speciality of
curing old deep-seated Chronic Ner-
vous and Special Diseases-they have
cured hundreds, a friendly talk with
Drs. Shores will cost you nothing and
may save your life.
II you have contracted the patent
medicine drug habit and find that you
have to constantly dope and drug your
self TO keep up. don't delay until 1t Is
too late. but consult Drs. Shores &
Shores. the doctors who cure.
II you are being deceived and hood
winked by some designing person who
claims to cure disease without the
knowledge Of or use of medicine, see 10
II that they deliver the goods" before
you pay out your hard-earned money.
Why experiment. Why waste your
substance and jeopardize your health
with some ignorant quack when you
can consult reliable doctors-doctors
who have proven their skill and demon
strated their ability to cure chronic dis
ease by publishing the many voluntary
testimonials Of home people.
