RANGE OF RAcHEL's VOICE
In Speaking. the Famous French Ac'
tress Had Compass of TWO
Full Octaves.

A Prussian prince, cousin OF the
German Emperor William l.. has left
some curious notes upon Rachel, Of
whom he was a great admirer These
have been quoted in a lecture upon
the famous actress. The prince stud
led her elocution from musical
standpoint and took down notes Of
her voice as she delivered some of
her most effective speeches. He
found, for instance, that in passage
of Racine's "Bajazet" she went down
to F in the bass. In one OF andre
maque" and another of "Adrfenne Lee
couvreur" her voice spoke a word on
the upper E, and uttered cry on up
per F sharp. Her speaking voice
thus had compass of two full oc-
taves. But, as a rule, he observed
that she used only seven notes. con
sisting of the first seven ascending
notes from the bass of the scale of
F sharp minor, but with the D sharp
ened.
1t would be curious to know-but
the prince does not seem to have as.
certained-whether this musical nota,
tion of Rachel's speaking voice is rig
orous and invariable. and 1t would be
worth a musicians while to apply the
same study to some contemporary &C
tors and actresses.

FACTS ABOUT
RHEUMATISM
An Attack Always Cause. a Rapid
Thinning Of the Blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills Cure the Dis.
ease Because They Make New,
Rich Blood

There is a great deal still to be learned
about the cause of rheumatism but one
TACT now stands out prominently-the
rapid thinning of the blood from the
beginning OF the attack. This NAV be
one OF the causes Of the disease or one of
It's effects but it is known that ANYTHING
which will build up the blood during
an attack of rheumatism will cure the
trouble. Such remedy either attacks
the cause or counteracts it's harmful
effects and enables the system to throw
it off. DR.. Williams Pink Pills owe
their curative effect to this action.
Rev. w. R. Brock, of Berwyn, Okla.
in telling of his experience, SAYS:
When | was boy of about twelve
years, l had what boy seldom has
rheumatism. / had been in bad
health for some months and was taken
out OF school on account of it. But |
kept getting worse and at one time
could hardly get around This, / sup
pose, undermined my health and was
the cause OF the later troubles which
afflicted me.
"Some years ago I had liver trouble
which finally caused chronic diarrhea.
This in itself was very weakening but, in
addition to that, my stomach refused
hearty food, had a severe pain in my
side almost all of the time and, when I
walked any distance, | became out of
breath, with feeling of burning at the
heart My head and limbs would ache
fearfully, especially at night. Then my
rheumatism came on again and, later,
had dry hacking cough.
L was under the care OF two ply
sicians but, although the tonics they
gave me seemed to do me good for a
while, the effect was only temporary.
A friend in Texas, some years before,
had told me of the benefit he had re-
ceived from DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
but thought then ! would trust to the
doctors However, doctors we're not
helping me and finally | was induced
to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills by an
advertisement in paper. took them
and eight boxes cured me y
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are for sale
at all druggists, or will be mailed to
any address, postpaid, on receipt of
price, so cents per box; six boxes for

Since agitating sane Fourth OF

NOTED STRUCTURES
WERE THESE
TWO
BUILDINGS BURNED IN LAST
NIGHTS FIRE HAD INTEREST.
ING LOCAL HISTORY.

The Family theater building was
built in the early summer of 1896 by
popular subscription. the local labor
construction was prompted by the me-
cessity which existed In Missoula for
an auditorium large enough to house
the state democratic convention which
was to meet here that year. The
building was completed i'm time for the
convention which was one of the most
noted sessions of the democrats In
Montana; 1t was at the height of the
DAILY Clark feud and there have never
been any days in Montana politics
warmer than the two days OF that
convention The debate was led BY
+. d. Mats and c. p. Connolly for the
DAILY forces and by J. NJ. Quinn and
Sam Ward for the Clark side. The
victory was with the DAILY crowd
AS rapidly as pos"'b'r the stock
which had been issued for the popu-
lar subscriptions was absorbed by the
Union Hall company, incorporated by
the unions of the city. The building
was remodeled somewhat so as to pro-
vide small hall In the second story
above the entrance, which was used
for union meetings. The auditorium
was changed so as to adapt it to use
as theater. G. n. Hartley was the
first lessee. The building was dedi-
Gated as theater by Thatcher, Prim-
rose e. Vests minstrels; the interior
was not finished and the company
played without scenery and with white
cotton cloth for curtains.
A. II. Hartley afterward held the
leases and managed the theater for
several years. Then 1t passed into the
hands of the present lessee, c. A. Har-
nois. who operated 1t as Missoula's S
leading playhouse until the compile
tion of his new theater He retained
his lease and the house had been used
! for vaudeville, stock companies and
moving picture shows.
The Union hall proper, occupied the
second story above the tLeater en-
trance and was used jointly by most
OF the labor organizations of the city
and the trades and labor council.
The Union Hall company carried
about $4,000 insurance on the build
ing and something on the furniture
and fixtures in the hall,
Mr.. Harnois had comparatively lit
tie in the building aside from 175
opera chairs and the old scenery. Most
Of the movable chairs had been taken
to Riverside park recently. as lad also
the piano and the moving picture
equipment.
The old house on the corner, the
last of the buildings TO burn, was

soula. 1t was erected during the days
of the construction of the Northern
Pacific as headquarters for the engi-
neering department. It was first oc-
