TURNED FROM DOORS
Couldn't Get Tickets to Schu.
mann-Heink in Chicago.

The following is from the Chicago
Tribune of Monday:
Mime. Schumann-Heink gave a song
recital in the Studebaker yesterday aft
ernoon, and the interest the public
took in the event may be estimated
from the fact that between 700 and 800
persons were turned away from the box
office, unable to secure tickets. Every
seat in the house was occupied, and
the enthusiasm was such as is always
evinced whenever this most popular of
singers offers any specimen of her gen.
ial and enjoyable art.
TO say aught new of Nine. Schu-
mann Heink, her voice, her personality,
or her art, is neither necessary nor pos
sibIe at the present time. There is no
singer who has in so short a time estab-
ished herself SO firmly in the affections
of the public as has she. The public
likes Schumann-Heink. It admires
her, too, and it appreciates her, but,
first and foremost, it likes her, and,
listening to her in this well justified
frame of mind, everything she does is
sure to delight.
There are certain things in her
work which the stickler for artistic
purity and vocal rectitude might find
subject for unfavorable criticism, but
so essentially are these things an in
tegral part of her art, and so seem
ingly are they so clearly the product
of her peculiar artistic individuality
that it is a question if many of hel
listeners would wish to have them
changed. Certainly the great general
public would not, and even the most
captious nearer will stand ready to ad-
nit that an afternoon of song by hei
is a source of thorough and keen en-
joyment. The Wholeheartedness and
genial earnestness of her work can
but please and win. Exceptionally
endowed, she is now in the zenith OF
her powers as vocalist and artist, and
the great popularity she enjoys is DIS
easily understood as it is deserved.
Yesterday Mime. -Heink
gave a programme which contained
little that had not been heard from hel
before. The Schumann 'Woman's
Love and Life cycle, which she sang
here last season, was again the chie1
number on the list. 1t was given with
the same sincerity and emotional III
tensity, coupled with intelligence and
musical taste, which distinguished ~
delivery when first heard, and awaken
ed the same abundant enthusiasm
On account of the large crowds and
enthusiasm in Chicago another recital
has been arranged for Saturday. April
&c. Schumann-Heink' date in Topeka
is next Thursday night.

When a Simple Home Remedy Cures.
Why do physicians always advise an
operation for the cure of hemorrhoids,
or piles? Are they unconsciously in
f1uenced by the dicta of operating sur
geons, who stoutly assert and maintain
that all other treatments are merely
palliative, and that the knife affords the
only means of cure?
There could be no greater fallacy, as
the worst possible cases of piles are
