The storm became heavier, however, and after the steamer had passed Pelilo passage it was feared sho was doomed. ““About 11 o'clock, when about four miles oft Chegogyn Polnt, it was decided to send the women ashore in the boat, and J. M Fleming, third officer; Wilson Cook, act- ing quartermaster; Nehemiah Murphy, sec ond officer, and Captain Smith volunteered to take tiem ashore.

There is & disease prevailing in this most dangerous because so decep- LX)\ tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it—heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is al- lowed to advance the " kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell, ! Bladder troubles most always result from . darlngemenl of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scald- Ing pain in passing It, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often dunng the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraondinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest.for its won- derful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sized bottles.

To enter into details would be to re- peat much that was written concerning “‘The Siuging Girl,” and for these reasons nothing in the nature of an elaborate criticlsm will bo atterapted. In the oplaion of the critic of The Dee the opera presented last night is vastly superior to “The Singing Girl.”" The plot is deeper, story better, the dialogue equally good the Iyrics and music to which they are set are infinitely better. The choruses are full of deep harmonles, and the two songs, My Gypsy Sweetheart” and “Gypsy Jam,'" rise almost, it not quite, to the dignity of grand opera music. As sung by Mr. Cowles they fasten themselves on the memory and many moous will wax and wane before their thrilling melodies are forgotten. The comedy 1s of the very first order, and its interpretation by such unctuous fun makers as Mossrs Cawthorn, Herbert and Slavin keep the audlence in a roar of laughter dur- ing the progress of the plece and send the people to their homes in the best of good humor, What was sald In yesterday's Bee concern- ing the work of the principal artists in *“The inging Girl" applies with equal force to “The Fortune Teller.” It any modification is made, 1t would be that everyone showed 10 better advantage because of the superior- ity of the play itself. The settings and the costuming were equally rich and brilllant, and the production as a whole was & feast for eye and ear allke. The only regret that ore | attaches to the engagement Is that it was of too briet duration. e——ee SUING FOR BLYTHE'S MONEY Conviet Claims to Be Residuary Legatee of 'Frisco Mul Millionuire. NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—Jacob J. Haffner, who has spent a greater part of the last fifteen years in state prisons, made a state- ment today and produced letters and docu- ments concerning Thomas H. Blythe, the multi-millionaire in San Francisco in 1883, The papers were turned over to Lawyer E. B. Southworth, who has been retained by Haffner to press his claim to a share of the Blythe estate. The documents include what purports to be an original will of “James Hey Pearcey, otherwise known as Thomas H. Blythe, dated March 4, 1881, signed in the pres- ence of Haftner and one James Plow of Los Angeles, Cal. This will appoints Haff- mer as executor of the estate without bonds and names as residuary legatee ‘‘my adopted daughter, Miss Florence Pearc otherwise known as Miss orence Ash- croft, now residing with her mother, Mrs, Julia Asheroft, at London, England.” The third article in the will reads: E “I glve, devise and bequeath to my brother, Mr. Charles Pearcey of Chicago, !111., $50,000." | It 1s under this article that Haffner | makes his claim to a share of the Blythe ' estate, It 18 on record in the probate court of Cook county, Ilinols, that Charles Pearcey died at the West Side hospital in Chicago in Nocember, 1897. Haffner was in Danne- mora prison at this time. Charles Pearcey | had lived for several years at No. 224 West Madison street in Chicago. He was prac- |tically a hermit. There was great surprise | when it was found that he had left $42,000 in United States and Chicago city bonds. Helrs were advertised for and Albert| Pearcey of Glemville, W, Va, who pro- fessed to be a brother, appeared. Upon his testimony the property was divided, | share and share allke, between himself and his five brothers and sisters. | Haffuor was released from Dannemora prison in April last. He went to Chicago | and produced what purported to be lust will and testament of Charles F He engaged Lawyer Willlam P. Chicago as his counsel and endeavored to have the estate reopened.
