for seven years preceding the present
one who used her when he desired for
his personal service, and that of his
friends only, and was very careless
about her machinery and she got in
exceedingly bad shape. In fact, she
has never run well since.
To add to her discontinue, the ex-

another vessel, a brand new one,
manned it with her deserters, and in
violation of the laws against piracy
has turned his guns on her and In
her crippled condition, her finish is

She has been a good old ship and

since the wonderful Quaker Herb
Extract was first introduced here many
People. some Of them sound, healthy
persons not needing medicine, have
asked repeatedly what caused this
famous remedy to completely Danish
disease and it's cause from the system.
Some said they even believed there
was possibility of the cures being
made by a superhuman or invisible
power which might be controlled by
the Health Teacher. In regard to this
the Health Teacher says: Such ideas
are preposterous: I am not respon-
Btble for any OF the cures. It's the
medicine-not the man. The reason
30 many people seemed surprised at
the results of these remedies is very
plain to me. It's because they are not
used to seeing any such cures. They
have jumped around from one medi-
cine TO another, trying one here,
Bampling another there. with some
times a bit OF temporary relief, but
never cure. Why? Because they
were using remedies with opiates of
one sort or other in their formula
morphine, quick silver, opium, chloro-
form, etc. Such things naturally give
q quick result, forcing the organs. ex-

ON THE FIFTH AVENUE BILL
Ray Samuels and Troisi on
Programme Prove Attractive.

The heat really can be eluded in that
light-dimmed auditorium down on the quiet
part OF Broadway, where two entirely
different sorts OF entertainers are leading
the Fifth Avenues weekly bill of varieties
Ray Samuels has certainly developed one
OF the oldest ways of entertaining in a
comedy vein that has been seen this
season IN vaudeville. She sings character
songs and does II for the most part with
her arms. Her gestures are quite weird
but effective. and withal she has a slow
languor of bearing that IS soothing Her
songs. although odd too, are hardly good
enough for her. She should prove a good
subject for an original minded song writer,
some one who understands the unexpected
and personal nature of her comedy.
Renato Trois is said to have come from
La Scala Opera. at Milan. He is max
ing his first appearance in New York this
week and his work adds distinction 10 the
bill at the Fifth Avenue. Last night Troisi
sang Celeste Aida" selection from
"PagliacCi' and the Donna Mobile The
FIRST did not show off his voice is well as
the Other two. which he sang with lit
and swing native to the Italian voice and
rot to be initiated BY any other. The only
disappointment in introducing a number Of
this kind into a vaudeville programme is
that It is difficult TO readjust the ear TO
the singing which is likely TO follow.
The orchestra. which IS still rather hap
PLY absent, is well understudied b. q Young
man at the piano, who plays better music
and with more judgment than the usual as

had hoped and expected to learn some

Civil service is a generation older IN

English system but / find II is q de

statement that II is 2 delusion and 2

The trouble with " IS that il was
founded half a century ago and never
has been changed or improved It al
lows the widest latitude to personal

No attempt is made 70 examine the

Also he is examined in the history #
London during the Roman invasion. the
history of London from 1855 TO 1858 and
the history Of London since 1858
About the practical duties Of the posi-
ton nothing is said at the examinations.
