STEAMER DAMAGED BY FIRE

STEAMER DAMAGED BY FIRE.
The Cunsrd line steamer Laeauis was
considerably damaged by fire at Birken-
head, England, on Saturday. The
flames are supposed to have originated
in the saloon kitchen. The steamer
was burned from her tunnels forward.
The FIRE brigade OF the vessel, with
two powerful motor engines, turned out
Immediately at the frat alarm and found
the saloon burning 6srcely from end
to end. Despite all their Efforts, the
flames gradually worked forward until
they reached the steeIage, consuming
every particle of the woodwork there,
and then Played havoc with the fore
hold.
At this time the heat was tremendous
aud the flames shot high from the ves-
sell.
At 8 O'Clock yesterday morning it
was decided to food the vessel by ad.
hitting water into her from the dock.
Soon she heeled over aud her funnels
came 10 contact with the cranes on the
dock and were badly damaged. A hall
dozen fremen, who were on the gang
way at this time, were thrown into the
water, but al! were rescued. A feet
OF tugs then was brought into nqlisition
aud pulled the liner upright and held
her until che settled firmly on the mud
bottom.
1t was 10 o'clock yesterday morning
before the fire wss under control, and
noon befors the fire brigade was able
to reliuquish Its task. The second
class quarters and the whole after
part Of the ship, inclndiug the
engine room, escaped injury from the
flames, aud comparatively littls damsge
was done to the exterior OF the
vessel.
The first saloon skylights were de.
stroyed and the decks forward sre bad.
ly buckled. Some of the plates of the
hull we're warped by the neat.
Late last night the LucEnia was re-
lOa.ed With the sid of salvage tugs and
powerful pumps. She will be dry
docked and towed to Glasgow for re-
pairs: =,
The Lucanis had been held in dock
as reserve boat, aud her next sailing
was scheduled for October.

RHEUMATIC FOLKS,
Are You Sure Your Kidneys are WeI1p

Many rheumatic attacks are due to
uric acid in the blood. But the duty
of the kidneys is to remove all uric
acid from the blood. Its presence
there shows the kidneys are inactive.
Don't daily with "uric acid SOL
vents" You might 60 on till dooms-
day with them, but until you cure the
kidneys you will never get well.
Doan's Kidney Pills not only remove
uric acid, but cure the kidneys and
then all danger from uric acid is end
ed. The following testimony will con-
vince the most skeptical Abbeville cit
izen:
Mrs. Lucy Tucker, 90 Mill Row,
Laurens, S. g., says: 'For several
years I suffered from kidney trouble.
MY back ached great deal and rhad
rheumatic twinges in my sides. Head
aches often bothered me and at times
I was 80 weak that I could hardly do
my house work. Believing that all
this trouble arose from disordered kid
neys and having heard Doan's Kid
ney Pills highly spoken of for such
complaints, l procured box. Since
using this remedy I have improved
greatly and 1 have no hesitation in
saying that l believe it to be the best
kidney preparation to be had"

take no other.

OUR BROTHERS. SHOW.
Advanced Vaudeville at Hills Biz Tent
To-kiqht.

Our Brothers opened their doors here
last Monday night. The show opened
with big chorus by the entire COM
pany.
Mrs. Pfeil. the dainty little soubret,
singing the ballad, HAS Anyone Seen
my Husband" made a decided hit.
Then came Taylor and Croferd, the
lightning change artists who kept the
audience in an uproar from start 10
finish.
Miss May Vernon, a very clever SOU
bret, is without doubt one of the best
in the vaudeville profession.
The little LLOYD children, comedy
sketch artists, received hearty applause
in their Dutch act.
Sam Coard, the female impersonator,
is star in his line. He certainly
makes a fine looking young miss"
and plays his part well. Quite mum
ber of the audience made the remark
What handsome young lady ~ and
when Mr.. Coard was about to close his
part and and began removing bis hat
and his beautiful curly wig, the audi
tnce, astonished and amazed, gave
great applause and encore.
Following that clever act came Col
)enStein and Gollenstein, SIX etch ar
fists, in their originalact entitled. "a
Leading Lady Wanted" Mrs. Col
lenstein plays the straight part in this
act, and Mr.. Gollenstein the Irish
part, and keep the audience in con-
linual side-splitting roar of laughter
throughout the act, which lasts fifteen
or twenty minutes. They are without
doubt among the cleverest in the pro-
fessiOn.
Then came the feature of the show q:
the two Pfeil children, The youngest
song and wooden shoe dancers of the
world and finest comedians of the
day. These children kept the house
in scream for twenty minutes. They
are stars in vaudeville. The act closed
with loud applause and cheers.
The closing act was given by the en-
tire company and was side-splitter
from the start, and the audience
went away saying that this was the
best and cleanest tent show til at has
ever been in Abbeville.
Messrs. Gollenstein and Lloyd say
their audiences have been fire, and
wish to thank The people of Abbeville
for their patronage. They leave to-
morrow morning for Anderson, and
hope 10 return again in the near fu-
ture.
Remember, tonight is your last op-
portnnil for seeing this wonderful
show.
