city's cultural life the city takes on a
more important air upon the musical
atlas of the country. The San Carlo
Grand Opera Company, that superb
group of artists which was this season
selected to reopen the famous Boston
Opera House. is to be brought to Har-
rlsburg, with its entire numerical

will feature the three productions
here, which, it is understood, will be
as follows: Tuesday evening, March

"Cavalleria Rusticana" and "Pagli-
acci." The first two named will be
sung by two different and distinct casts
of principals. while the double bill will
bring forward upon the same stage
and evening two further casts of the
company's leading artists. The roper

that the entire twenty stars will be
heard during the companys visit here.
The operas will be given at the Chest
nut Street Auditorium and the regular
seat sale will open on Thursday. March

Kidney Trouble Leads
to Terrible Tortures

Hundreds of sufferers from pains in

nary disorders, lumbago, rheumatism,
dizziness, puffy swellings under the
eyes or in the feet and ankles, nerv-
BUSINESS, tired or worn-out or head
achy feeling. don't seem to realize that
the greater part of all sickness to-day
can be avoided by keeping the kidneys
working properly. If you suffer from
any of the many agonies that accom-
pany weak, clogged-up or diseased
kidneys, you should not neglect your
self another day and run the risk of
serious complications. Secure a pack
age of SolvaX, the wonderful new kid
ney remedy, which is very inexpensive,
yet acts quickly and surely on the seat
of the trouble. You'll be surprised
how entirely different you'll feel in a
very short time.
It doesn't matter how long you have
suffered, how old you are, or what you
have used. The very principle of
Solvax is such that it is practically i'm
possible to take it into the human sys-
tenn without some beneficial results.
SolvaX is pleasant to take, gives
quick relief and has been so uniformly
successful that II. c. Kennedy and
other leading dealers i'll this vicinity
will in future sell it under a positive
guarantee of relief or refund the
money. No other kidney remedy we
believe ever had a large enough per-
centage of cures so that it could be
sold in this manner. A guarantee like
this speaks volumes for the merit of
SolvaX.
There is no time like the present to
do a thing that ought to be done. If
anyone has kidney trouble to-day is
the best time TO begin curing it.

Premier Believed to Be Seeking to
Unite War Factions for
War Government.

DUBLIN. May Is, via London, 1870
D m.-Premier Asquith. who has been in
Dublin for several days. departed this
morning for Belfast to confer with
prominent men in the north.
The great modification in the resula
tions of martial law gave the people of
Dublin today freedom OF movement
strongly contrasting with the restrfc-
tons imposed since the rebellion. All
may now come and go as they wish be-
tween the hours of 4 In the morning
and midnight. During the remaining
four hours they must keep within
doors
II is generally understood that Pre-
mier AsQuith is responsible for this re-
taxation The premier's study of condt-
tons and the sentiments of the people
apparently convinced him that there
was no great element of rebellious
spirit remaining
LONDON. May Is, 2:05 pm-Premier
Asquith's visit TO Belfast seems to give
color to reports that he is trying to
arrange a coalition between the two
Irish factions for temporary war gov
eminent of Ireland. There has been no
reoeilious movement in Belfast, and ap-
parentiy the premier's consulta tions
with prominent men OF that city natur-
ally will deal with broader Questions
than rebellion in other parts of Ire
land.
