THE_OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1 18901—-TWENTY PAGES Seeess. leeess, Wonderful Results Ob- tained By Dr. C. Gee Wo’s Famous Chinese Remedies. Read the Testimonials from Pa tients Who Have Peen Cured. REQRAY- £ On the 1oth day of June, in the year 1884, arrived in this country Dr. Chang Gee Wo. He came here with his cou-- sin, Chun See Tong, the Chin, ese consul to San I‘rancisco, and other Chinese dignitaries, who came here for the purpose of seeing the New Orleans Ex position. Seeing the grand op- portunity there was here for a doctor who could cure the many so-called incurable dis- eases, the doctor resolved to embrace it. Thus, by the merest accident, there came to this country, the only Chinese physician who ever crossed the Pacific. He has made some of the most astonishing cures ever wrought in this country though he has had only seemingly in- curable cases. People are now becoming aware of this fact, and demanding how he has SUCh \Inprccedcnlcd Su €SS, The doctor will give a few ex- planatory facts, though he wishes to state here that he re- grets the necessity of differing from the rules of the medical fraternity by advertising. If he were an American or Euro- pean doctor his name would be on every tongue and in every newspaper, as Venner, Pasteur, Koch, etc. Hailing from a country that hasalways kept itself secluded from the rest. of the world till forced to open its ports by the United States fleets, the doctor feels justified in making his skill known through the medium of the newspapers, and it is his onlv chance, for many of his patients, through false modes- ty, are even ashamed of being cured by him, and though its means he has saved many a valued life. Read his three testimonials. Every one of the thirty people can give the same story of being cured of different troubles. Call on these people and get their opinion of Dr. C, Gee Wo, and if your prejudice be not as immovable as Olym- pus you will be convinced. Not one of them would have treat- ed with him if they cou'd have been cured elsewhere. Do not see him until you are thorough- ly convinced that he is what he represents himself to be. He is no specialist. He treats all diseases. The Chinese select their medical students as we do our cadets for military atid naval schools. They musy study eight years before being examined. If they do not pags" they have four years before getting a diploma. Two years ago he organised what is now known as the Chinese Herb Remedy com- pany, locating at No. 519% North Sixteenth, and has in this short period of time done more to relieve suffering hu- manity than any other physi- cian in the country. As a proof of his ability to cure the sick, he presents the statements of some of the most promir ent people of the city and country. SAVED HER LIFE. Mrs. 1% €.

RHEA’S CHATTY GOSSIP OF HER NEW PLAY Brief Outlines of Several Now Plays Recently Put on the » Attractions from Eur.pe Talk of the Stage. Maden ¢ PattiNicolini has been repeating fer triumphs in a series of concerts in Eng- 1and, and the musical critics are exhausting their stock of adjectives in saying charming things of this gifted womat. In one of her numbers at Birmingham the fascinating diva was assisted by a young lady with a violin obligato, and in acknowl- edging the ovation of the audience the queen of song took the violinist by the haud and led her forth to share the triumph—a pretty compliment to an ambitious young artist and @ noblo generosity from the great songstress. Americans havo hud an idea that much of the charm of “Home, Sweet Home,” even as sung by Putti, came from its sentiment and its melody, but it scems they have been mis- taken. At least a Birmiugham nowspaper that has been trying to discover the secrot of this diva's wonderful effectiveness iu the sweet old song says: 1t caunot be the words, for thore are thousands of homes they won't apply to, nor can it bo the melody, although it is beautifuly we volieve it rests mainly in the charm of tho sotto voce, which Mmo, Patti employs as no other siuger has done in our oxperience, Sims Roeves only excepted.’” In the face of this Knglish dictum it will not do 1o arguo the question, and Amerigans should be properly grateful for having the “mystery” solved for gaod and all - ‘We have heard so much from English erit- 10s of the ill manners of Americans that we are pardonable it we occasionally turn upun them with “you'ro another.”” After a con- cert at Wolverhumpton the local paper ful- minated & heavy editorial copdemning the boorish behavior of the audience after Patti's last number. Among other sharp things it said: “*When sho had vetired the audience was no longer spirituclle, or wsthetic, or worship- ful, or even enthusiastic, butl dreadfuily worldly, mattor of fact, selfish, inconsiderate and {1l bebaved. Half the audience, ali of whom should bave kunown better, left the ball suus ceremonie, and with & very coguet- Ush defiance of all good breeding.” Aud ap- Parantiy it wan oven worso than ihat, for the rest of the program went by dofault—was noveven attempod. Rhea 1s appeariug "in her new play, “Cutherine, Empress of Russia,’ and says she likes it much better than the part of Josephine. The latter is cold, pliablo and lifeless, while Catherine is hvely, warm- hearted, gay :nd fierce by turns, She is @ woman With u will, aud gives opportunity for the widest range of the emotions even for tragio acting. In an interview the other day Rhea paid this compliment to the great wost: “Ob, yes, I have been in the west, In- deed, that 'is the favorite partof the coun- try with me. Strange as it muy sem 1 enjoy sotlng Dbefore an audience in Leadville much better than in some of the eustorn cities, The sudiences there are much more quiet and appreciative than they are, for instance, in Balu- more. AL a theater in that city at one time when I was playing there the conversation 0f some of the socioy ladies became so posi- tively insulting that the people of the com- pany refused to o upon the stage. In Lead- ville and some other Colorado cities the audi- enoes are so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. ‘here we can give Shakespeare's foest plays sithout fear of being misunder- stood. Oh, I like those audiences of miners, men who live amid nature, who can appreci Ate & stroke of nature wheu they see it; who | peculiar to the laynian. are not so incrusted in conventionality that | they think it their duty to anuoy the artist by their chatter.

Miss Lillian Lowis will make her debut beforo an Omaha audionce at Boyd's New tueater this ovening, presonting a version of Puillips' imtousaly interestiug novel, the dramatization of which was made especially for Miss Lowis by Luwreoce Marston. In Phillips’ fascinating book the dramatist is sald to have found a vital story, strongly outlined and cleverly contrastod characters, the opportunity for intensely wrought climaxes and an atmosphiero of human inter est that is all absorving. He found in a word the eloments of a moving and enduring play,and upon them luid the hand of theatric experience and adoptive skill, and is said to have transforred them to the stago with au integrity of outlive and ingenuity of devel- ment that is almost Sardoucs que injits deft- ness. Miss Lowis brings with her a com- pany of superiority including such really capable peopie as Edmund Collier, Louise Pomeroy, Arthur Elliot, Walter' Eytingo and others who have attained distinction in the drumatic world.

Florence. The joko aid not ovie- inate with Florence, but _rather with Dr. Walter Flemming of New York, u well known prince of good fellows, snd a bigh degree Mason, but it was Florence who cugineered tho affair te a successful conciu- sion. An idea of tho success of the hoax can bo bad from the fact that the Lulu Tewplo of New York is one of the branches of the parent organization. LI'here are temples nearly as great as the Lulu in nearly cvery large city, not only in_ this country, but in Great Britain, and all owe_ their Ilemming and the rest of that pioneer in the oveunization of tho My Shrine, One night carly in 1870 a smull party of oas woere guthored at the house of Dr. ming, in New York, o turned upon the organ' cret socioties und Dr., Flemming | those present form an adjunct of some kind orother to the Masome order. All hands tookk a hearty interest in the watter from the start, but it was not long before the matter lind assumed a practical shape. Just about that time tho khedive of Egypt was creating a great furore in Paris, Ho was the guest of Emperor Napoleon and the splendor of their cotertainments was the talk of the civilized world. Actor Florence was in Paris at that timo and in & long lotter to his friend, L'r. Flemming, deseribed an imagary meeting, at which Napoleon, tho Khedive and Actor Florence took part. o windiug up his lotter Mr. Florence declared that the khedive was almost good enough to belong to the Masons. Immediately it occurred to Dr. Flomming and his friends that it would be a good 1dea o spread the report broadcast that tho khedive bad met Billy Florenco, tho well known actor, 1. Puris, and had becomo so favorably impressed with the witly American that he hiad conferred upon him the degree of the Mystic Shrine, to which only wembers of the uniform rank could aspiro. He bad also, according to report cupowered Mr. Florence 10 como back t Amovica, establish lodges of the Mysit Shrine and coufer the degree. ‘This repart surprised Actor Florence very much when he returned to his own country, but he readily fell into the schome, and in this manner tho Mystic Shrine was organized, About five years later Dr. Daniel k. Hughos, now, resident physician in charge of the Philadel phia hospital, went on a visit Lo his friend, Dr. Flemming, 1n New York. Whilo thers Hughes was induced 1o join the Order of the Mystic Shrine and returs to Philadel hin with o firm determination Lo organize a odge in ibiladelphia. Thero was o delay, aud in less than & month the Lulu temple was seen well under way. Until about five yoars ago Dr. Hughes was tho importany factor in the lodge, and during the time of bis active membership Lulu temple grow to wonderful proportions, and its fume is now as wide as the domuain of Uncle Sam, Regular Army and Navy Union.
