several good baritone solos. A grand
finale followed each Of the four acts,

thing in the show, and won her share

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CATARRH
Just Breathe Hyomei Four Times a
Day and Be Cured

IL few years ago someone had said
you can cure catarrh by breathing air
charged with a healing balsam, the
idea would have been ridiculed. and il
remained for that eminent inyestiga-
tor r. T. Booth, TO discover in Hyo-
mel this method Of cure.
HYomei has performed almost mi
raculous cures Of catarrh, and Is today
recognized by leading members Of the
medical profession as the only adyer-
tised remedy that can be relied upon
to do just what it claims. The com.
plete outfit Of Hyome costs s10Q, and
consists Of an inhaler, a medicine
dropper, and bottle of Hyomei
Breathe Hyomei through the inhal-
er for few minutes four times day,
and it will cure the worst case Of ca
tafrh. 1t sootles and heals the mu-
cous membrane Of the air passages,
prevents irritation and effects com
plete and lasting cure,
In Union City there are scores Of
well known people who have been
cured Of catarrh by Hyomei. III ii
does not cure you, Red Cross Pharma-
cy Will return the money you pay for
Hyomei This is the strongest evil
lence that can be offered as 70 their

Cinderella.


Pleasant events theatrically have
been numerous in Nashville in the
past month, although the season has
just begun, but there have been few
occasions this or in past seasons more
pleasant than the appearance of the
julie Foreman Musical Comedy Com
pany, which presented cinderella"
under the management Of Y. G, Alley
at the Vendome Theater Saturday af-
ternoon and night. With but few eX-
ceptions the members Of the company
weie well known in Nashville, and
knowing the vehicle as well as the
members, the public naturally expect
ed a splendid entertainment. When
it is said then that the two big audi
ences were agreeably surprised at the
performance it is saying a great deal.
tits true, of course, that Manager
Alley being Nashville man and many
members Of his company having played
here so much that they could justly
register from this city, had something
to do with the attendance, for every
one who is known here is popular, but
the professional and not the personal
acquaintance was responsible for the
presence Of the two big audiences.
Miss Foreman is truly a favnrte here
and Miss Forrest, M ISIS Parker, NJ ISIS
Etherton, NJ iss Kress and Miss Nickel
are almost as popular as she. Bobby
Nolan, John Morris, Joe Combs and
Fred Godding have also won friends
during their former engagements in
Nashville, % the company did not
come as an aggregation of Strangers.
Miss Foreman never looked prettier
and never sang better than she di1

pie who understand what freedom
is, and the American press, which
voices the wishes of the people,
will rejoice with the friendly Rus
sian Nation at the moment, when
the Russian people have received
from His Imperial Majesty the
promises and guarantees of free
dom, and will join in the hope that
the Russian people will wisely aid
in the realization of those liberties
by co operating with the Govern
ment for their peaceful introduc-
ton. Only thus will it be posi-
BILE to secure the full benefits of
freedom conferred upon the peo
ple."
Count Witte, Russia's first
Premier, to night sent the above
message to the American people
through the Associated Press. He
had just arrived at his residence
on Kammeniovroy Prospect from
Peterhof, where in the ADexan
der Palace, the Emperor, two
hours before, had given his
final approval to a manifesto and
to a program which will forever
end the rule of absolutism exer-
cised by him and his Romanotf an
cestors for three hundred years.
A simple perusal of the mani
festo shows how complete is the
Emperor's abdication of his auto
cratic power. The very style of
the document is clear and devoid
of the verbose, vague and bombas-
tic phraseology which heretofore
has characterized his majesty's
manifestoes. 1t not only betrays
real authorship, but shows that
the Emperor at last has irrevoca-
bly, bowed to the inevitable.
DRIVEN TO STEP.
He does not conceal the fact that
the discomfort and agitation of his
subjects have driven him to take
this step, and practically yields
everything civil liberty, the in
volatility of person and liberty
of conscience, speech and assem-
bly,. He not only converts the
farciaI Imperial Domuna, with |
only consultive power, into an alb
solute Legislative Assembly, with.
out the assent of which no meas
ure shall become law and before
which all governmental authorities
must answer, but promises even
5ually universal suffrage.
The title "autocrat of all the
Russias," with which the mani
festo begins, now takes its place
with the title Of "King of Jerusa-
en-" borne by King of Spain and
he Emperor of Austria and with
,ther obsolete titles of European
iovereigns.

lively selected the members of his
.abinet. He will himself hold no

THE IMPERIAL DECREE.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 30.-The
following is the text of the impe-
rial manifesto:
"We, Nichols H., by the grace
of God Emperor and Autocrat of
all the Russia's Grand Duke OF
Finland, etc, declare to all our
faithful subjects that the troubles
and agitation in our capitals and
in numerous other places fill our
heart with excessive pain and
sorrow.
"The happiness of the Russian
sovereign is indissolubIy bound
up in the happiness of our people,
and the sorrow of tie sovereign.
"From the present disorders
may arise great national disrup.
tion. They menace the integrity
and unity of our empire.
"The supreme duty imposed up.
on us by our sovereign office re-
quires us to eface ourselves and
to use all the force and reason at
our command to hasten in secur
ing the unity of coordination of
the power of the central govern
ment and to assure the success of
measures for pacifcation in all
circles of public life which are es-
sential to the we'll being of our
people.
"We therefore direct our gov

ABOUT THE LIVING ROOM.

While the living rooms in each of
these houses are not exact duplicates
they are so much alike that this one
description will give you correct idea
of all of them. They are finished In an
tique oak, paneled five feet high, with
beautiful wooden frieze; there Is large
circular bay window, very handsome old
gold brick mantel, woodwork of which
Is ornamented with burnt design. Set
In one of the panels of the lnantel is
paint of the Santa Barbara. Mission
which adds much to the beauty of the
mantel; the fixtures are in mission style
a very attractive room and one that
would appeal to almost everyone looking
for a home.
Each of the houses has an oak en-
trance, with art and plate glass win
dows; floors downstairs are hard wood
upstairs rock maple; built-in window
seats and cozy corners and very fine
buffets;. beamed ceilings and paneled
walls. Grounds are all nicely made up.
You will be surprised at the low figures
we can quote you on every one of these
residences. The exact locations are,
1896 Alvarado. 1882 Alvarado, 114S Mag
nolia, 1144 Magnolia. When you are out
