anonymous letters threatening realistic

says. Mr.. Bennage gloats particularly
over Chicago's action. as Chicago. h'

Hospital Saturday night were reinstat-
ed by the board of trustees yesterday
The other five were suspended.

nurses deserted during an operation for
appendicitis. Members Of the house
medical staff were forced to look after
the sixty patients until fifteen nurses
could be obtain ID from Brooklyn and
Manhattan. Those who remained at
their posts have now been promoted:

the refusal Of a public hearing to Miss
VI. f. Melville, superintendent OF
nurses. OF those suspended, two would
have been graduated in few months

"IL TROVATORE."

The Boston English Opera Compa- ny, which comes to the Grand theater Thursday night, Nov. 27, is following new method in the presentation of opera. Instead of doing five or six different operas in an indifferent man. ner, some fairly good and some very bad, it has confined all it's energy to one opera, making production of rare beauty and what is more import ant, every member of the company has been selected for their special ability in this one opera, it is said
 Opera singers, like people in other professions, have certain preferences some are great in one opera, and some in others. The cast of the Boston English Opera Company are all stars of note and. what is more to the point, they have all made their greatest sue ress in "Il Trovatore." They have been selected for that reason purely.

DAYS DEVELOPMENTS IN EUROPEAN WAR

The latest official British account of the fighting in West Flanders tells of almost continuous bombardments, small movements forward and back again; the desperate attempts of the Germans to pierce the British lines, the smelling of Ypres; the deadly eff feet of British and French guns; the bravery of the German youths and pays tribute to the Prussian war ma chine, which it says has attained the most remarkable results" But with all this terrific fighting, neither side has been able to gain any material advantage. Rains have swept the trenches, snow has fallen and the men are suffering hardships that would seenr almost uncomfortable
 In the Eastern arena, the troops now have wintry conditions, but the frost is helping the Russians to move more rapidly on the East Prussian frontier. A newspaper report re- ceived in Venice says that Cracow in Galicia is on fire and that it's inhabit- ants are in flight.
 The British say that in two actions against the Turks at Fao, in the Per sian gulf, they have severely defeated the Ottomans The Turks also have lost 250 men and two guns in the bom- bardment of the forts in the Darda- nelles by the warships of the allies.
 The Germans reports operations in Flanders are progressing slowly, but in the Argonne district they have achieved important successes. In Po- land the battle continues without definite results, although Germany re- ports the capture of 32,O00 prisoners and many guns.
 The British Parliament unanimous lv has voted an additional credit of Sl ,125, ,000,0 for the war and also another million soldiers. Premier As quith announced that the war is cost ing Great Britain close to $5,0O0,00 daily.
 The Prince of Wales has departed for the front He will join Field Mar shal Sir John French's headquarters staff.
 Queen Wilhelmina of the Neither lands, it is reported is being urged to consult with the President of the United States on the possibility of of fering mediation to the belligerents. The American minister, Dr. Henry Van Dyke, is returning to the United States, and there is a report current that he may bring this matter to President Wilson's attention
