Pneumonia Weather.

From the New York Herald.
"The wide prevalence of coughs. colds.
grip and pneumonia marks an experience
of severe and protracted winter weather
the like of which We have not seen for
many a year. The stubborn persistence OF
catarrhal troubles is also a marked fea-

fortunate indeed who has not been at
some time since Christmas confined to his
bed with a cold of some sort that he
Qannot succeed in curing. This condition
of affairs has existed for months, and
the end Is not yet. In fact, it behooves
all careful people to be on their guard
against all catarrhal troubles more than
ever.
March Is a typical pneumonia month and
gives a high rate OF mortality for the
disease. One reason for this is hat after
our long and hard winters the system loses
hardy ones are likely to Withstand he
strain, and even these are by no means
safe when grip is increasing almost to
epidemic manifestation.
The ordinary cold the grip and pneu-
monia belong to the same family Of winter
diseases. Although they may be excited
by different infectious influences, their
ultimate effects are the same when the
attacks are sufficiently severe.
An acute catarrh IS always the result OF
undue exposure to low temperatures. The
rapid cooling OF the surface. when not
balanced by proper reaction. produces con-

ailment is not communicable, in the ordi-
nary sense, from one individual to an
other. AS the slightest cold predisposes

be enforced"
All these facts emphasize the necessity
of extraordinary precautionary. measures

not change his climate at will. but may

as soon as the first indication of the cold
appears. 1t not only cures a cold quickly
but counteracts any tendency of the cold
to result in pneumonia. This fact has been
fully proven during the epidemics of colds
and grip of the past few years. No case
of either of these diseases having result

used has ever been reported to the manu-
facturers. which shows conclusively that

New York, March R.-With never so
much as a line in advance from the press
agents a new star has appeared in the
theatrical galaxy.
This new star halls from the Orient. and
her name is Ng All. If her manager had
the proper idea OF advertising values he
would not be able to find type big enough
TO tell his public about her. for Ng All Is
the only Chinese actress in the world.
But it is by no means the managers
fault hat all of San Francisco's him
town is agog over this very new thing
in Chinese theatricals, for the little red
posters with their black scratches, which
are posted on the alley walls and tele-
graph poles in the Chinese quarter have
not grown an inch since Ng All came.
In China a woman would not be allowed
80 act, and even in the miniature China
of a Francisco the Acknowledged citi-
Eens look askance at one who dares over
ride the custom OF some thousands of
years; but all the same. the benches Of
the theater are full night after night when
the new star is on the bill. and the pig
tailed Johnnies stare their eyes almost
to a level when the calico curtain at the
back of the stage parts and Ng All comes
rocking forward on her little boatlike
shoes and in all the glory of her gorgeous
~ embroidered and jewel studded robes
To be sure, there is no applause, for a
Chinese audience is about the temperature
Of the. Arctic circle. But what matter?
There Is the consolation of the box office,
and while the audience sits silent on the
benches the manager walks around near
the door with a face that beams like a
moon at the full, and to Ng All the Jingle
of Money on pay day is more pleasing
h hand patter and cheers.

| Chinese age, and ell the paraphernalia of
the stage, family discernible. by the dim
l%amplight, there is a lively chatter, with
Ng All always the center of attraction.
Her favorite character Is that of the
Chinese Empress. in a play that lasts 100
many. weeks to know the entire plot
one scene that gives Ng An a chance to do
some real acting, and she proves herself
equal to the task. It is where the EN-
peror's son by another wife has been
sentenced to death, and the mother of the
boy comes to beg his life from the father.
She is but a plain-looking woman, poor
thatLand whenever she tries to approach
the Emperor the favorite, splendidly ar
rayed and with all the witchery a
the way. Now she fans him. whkedling
and cajoling him the while, or holds her
loose sleeve before his face, SO that he

at last the mother, driven to desperation,
allows the %favorite to draw her into a
war of FAM she cleverly contrives TO
make the uppliants fan strike the royal
person.
Such q crime as this is past all forgive
neess, and the offending mother is hurried
from the august presence and the triumph
of her heartless rival is complete. The
band sets up its squeaklng, rafting, clang-
ing din, and the actors walk calmly off
the stage, others coming in at once TO
continue the play, while a couple of stage
hands bring to the front a boxlike affair
with two small calico curtains tied back
to present a window in a house, or place
@ table and chair in the center of the
stage to represent another scene.
Often there will be two or three hours
between Ng Abs scenes, and then she

room in the garretlike space above the
theater to rest until time to go on again.
Here. by managerial persuasion, she
consented reluctantly to an interview,
which being an Anglo-Chinese affair, was
something short of satisfactory.

witch. he is not worrying over the sitla-
ton.
According to authentic accounts. IIoyn's
grandfather, when a mere child. was res
cued during an invasion of the Turks by
being carried by his nurse into 4 field and
hidden. he being the only member Of the
family to escape. The child was taken to
Saxony. where he was brought up and in
time married and raised a family, Au-
gust John's father being the only son.
1t appears that the Turks wiped out the
royal family from which the Boyns de-
seconded, and Johns grandfather preferred
to remain in peace in Saxony rather than
try sitting on the insecure throne of his
native country.
The nurse who rescued the grandfather
also carried with her the family Bible
he received the family record, which in
time went to August, who kept II invio-
late. When he returned OF Servia he took
the Bible, with him. but the book and all
the records were lost. az they disappeared
when he died in Belgrade.

AMERICAN FARMER SAYS HE is
HEIR TO THRONE OF SERVIA.
Minnesota Pretender Is a De
scendant of Milos Obrenovitch
king Peter Said to Be Look
ing for Opportunity to Abdi-
cate.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
st. Paul, Mimi, March THE announce
ment that the King of ServiA would Ike
to abdicate has revived the story of the
American heir to the throne, in the per-
son of John Boyn. a Minnesota farmer,
whose father, August BOyn, was said TO
be an heir to the throne of that country,
and who, it is claimed, died in that coun-
try many years ago by the hand of an as
sassin.
"A writer in the St. James Gazette, in
discussing the rumors that King Peter
would like to let go because he is disap-
pointed with his people. a the world
contains a lot of pretenders to the throne
who do not really pretend because they
prefer to keep off that dangerous eleva-
ton. The most interesting of these pre-
tenders, says the writer, is the Minnesota
farmer, John Boyn Vouhauser, believed to
be descended from Milos ~Obrenovitch, and
through him connected with the SerVian
ruler.
.The mother of John Boyn lives in a
modest little cottage among the ever
green's and jackpines near Rum River. a
few miles from Princeton, Mimi. She is
81 years old, but for one of her age is APP
parently hale and hearty. Small of stat
ure and witt her ,shrunken form bent
that she was in her youth a comedy wom-
an for one of her race, and had Dame
Fortune made her Queen of Servia she
would nave graced the throne of that
country Of social and political volcanoes
with as much dignity as many of the
happy and unhappy rulers of Europe.
She did not know much about her hus-
band's kingly Inheritance, which it has
been claimed he went 20 Servia to seek.
He told his folks he had a large inner
itance awaiting him in Servia, and decid-
ed to go over to that country in 1857 to
secure the wealth. His wife n children
begged him not to leave them, but he
promised to return soon with money
enough to make them all rich.
WANTED PART OF FORTUNE.
He had no idea of attempting to regain
his royal rights other than n portion of
the fortune which was due him. He wrote
his wife from Belgrade after his arrival.
In a few weeks she received word through
the American Consul that her husband
was dead Subsequent events proved that
he had been assassinated.
Residents of Princeton well remember
Boyn. He a a common education, and
was by trade a cabinetmaker.
The farm his wife now occupies was pre-
empted by him. The son of old John
Boyn. whom the writer in the St, James
Gazette asserts Is more nearly the direct
heir to the throne than all other pretend
ers, lives a short distance from Princeton
and near the home of his mother. Though
he stoutIy maintains his heirship 10 the

Absolutely Free
A Dollar Kidney Cure

To any kidney sufferer who has not
tried my remedy 1 offer a full dollar s
worth free. Not a mere sample-but a
staple.
There is nothing to pay. either now or
later. / ask no depOsit-no promise. You
take no risk. The dollar bottle is free
because mine is no ordinary remedy, and
I feel so sure of its results that l can at-
ford to make this offer.
In the first place my remedy does not
treat kidneys themselves. Such treatment
is wrong. For the kidneys are not to
blame for their weaknesses or irregulari-
ties. They have no power-no self-con-
troll. They are operated and actuated by
a tiny shred of a nerve which alone is re-
sponsibIe for their condition. If the kid
ney nerve is strong and healthy the kid
neys are strong and healthy If the kid
ney nerve goes wrong you know it by the
inevitable result-kidney trouble.
This tender nerve is only one of a great
system of nerves; this system controls not
only the kidneys, but the heart and liver
and the stomach For simpicity's sake 1
have called this great nerve system the
Inside Nerves" They are not the nerves
of feeling-not the nerves that enable you
to walk. to talk, to act, to think. They
are the master nerves and every vital or
gan is their slave. The common name for
these nerves is the sympathetic nerves -
because each set is in such close sympa-
thy with the others, that weakness any
where results in weakness everywhere.
