 "A certain rich man became dis tressngly ill. He had eaten too GEN EROUSLY of unripe fruit, and it took the doctor several days to bring him around again. The medical man became interested in the case, and diagnosed THOROUGHLY, for it had a PROFITABLE OUTLOOK and af- ter some months discovered PRO- NOUNCED SYMPTOMS AND A COMPLICATION.
 "The rich man grew alarmed The doctor told the patient that CHANGE was absolutely necessary, and he left for New York at once to take it. The doctor took his. and put it in his pocket book

Your case is not a serious one and you can be quickly cured, but it will cost you money, at least $500 for you must take a long trip.

AMATEUR NIGHT
 A BIG SUCCESS
PRINCESS MANAGEMENT MAKES A HIT WITH ITS FRIDAY NIGHT
 INNOVATION
Five Amateurs Win Unstinted Ap- plause of the Crowded House on Their First Appearance.

That amateur night" at he Prin- cess is a fixture for Friday nights is a fOregone conclusion Manager owens first attempt to add some anna teur acts to the regular vaudeville bill for that night was greeted by a packed house and the audience show ed is unstinted approval of the work of the amateurs in a manner that ceE tainly pleased these noyices on the vaudeville stage.
 Five amateur acts were booked for the first night and each and everyone went big even the blackface artist who "go+ the hook before he could get over his case of stage fright.
 At the close of the regular bill the amateurs were given their turn.
 Little Miss Celia Fletcher, 6 years old, was the first to brave the gaze of more than a thousand pairs of eyes. She is a winsome little miss and she rendered her song selection, 'I Hope It's Boy" in sweet, childish voice, and without the first evidence of fright; in fact, she responded to two encores with chorus repetiuons in a manner that seemed to settle he choice of the audience at the start.
 Miss Clara Walters, slender and graceful and with a splendid voice, sang, You Made Me Love You" in excellent style, and won her full share of the generous applause the audience was giving the amateurs. She was compelled to respond to an encore and a curtain call.
 The blackface artist neyer mind his name, just for the sake of his family), got no further than stem mering introduction of his proposed act when the hook descended and he moved off
 Miss Dorothy Graham, a pretty blonde, with a remarkably sweet and bird-like soprano voice, pleased every one with When 1 Dream of Erin, Dream of You Miss Graham is gift ed with a splendid voice and her num- Der was really one of he choicest of he evening. She demonstrated a splendid stage presence, and many Of her friends predict that she will make a name for herself as a vocalist
 Miss Beulah Green, petite little sing CT and comedenne, won the hearts Of her hearers and the first honor ap- proval, with her song, Sailing Down the Chesapeake" Miss Green is splendid singer of ragtime and she has the bodily grace and dancing ac compHshmen;s to accompany this class of music Three vociferous eu cores and a curtain call was her lot in the applause and later when the participants were called before the curtain to decide the evenings win ner, the audience voiced it's approval of her act in a manner that left no doubt She was awarded first prize, while little Miss Celia Fletcher cap tured second place.
 Already there are many applicants for next Friday night from which Manager owens states he can easily select as good an amateur bin as the one given last night
 Amateur nights, Fridays. at the Prin- cess will see packed houses evefy week from this time on. if last nigh's show is a criterion of the coming pop ularity of this feature.
