Miss de Spada's achievement of Monday evening,' when the little lady took it upon hersclf to reply in peculiarly feminine fashion to some animadversions of Critic Richard Lucchesi upon her performances, seems to. have made & hit with the multitude. Her ap- pearance in “Don Pasquale” last night was the signal for a particularly noisy greeting, wherein a thick sprinkling of “pravas!” and “at him agains!” were plainly discernible. The little duchess has won sincere regard here as a singer, but she has scored even more heavily for her brilliant expectoratesmanship. shown clearly that even if a woman can- not “hit a barn with a stone,” she can, if allowed her own peculiar weapons, hit something, if she want to badly enough. Miss de Spada's choice of a target seems to have met with a large popular approval and there is already a cross to mark the spot where the battle of saliva took place, to which the admiring visitor is reverent- ly pointed. The rest of “Don Pasquale,” brilliant, witty, frolicsome, went very well on the whole. The orchestra was, however, con- spicuously too loud in many places, and the exquisite preciseness that the* opera demands could of course hardly be hoped for with the small time at disposal for getting it up. De Paoli came out strongly in the title role. He is"too noisy at times, too evident generally, but he did some ex- cellent acting—particularly in. the third act—and used a voice that only nmow has the chance to show itself as pleasing in surprisingly ., competent fashion. His work was very sure throughout, evi- dencing a ripe familiarity with the part and a capacity that Signor’de Paoli has not before been credited with.. Zon- ghi was musical and gentlemanly, as usual, as Ernesto, and D’'Albore was good, bad and indifferent by turns as Malatesta. “Andre Chenier” comes next week. R A large audience greeted the Loring Club last night at Native Sons’ Hall on the occasion of the first concert of its twenty-sixth season.

The interestihg programme was heard with much en- joyment by the audience, the club num- bers being exceptlonally well given. Mrs. Northrup was effective in her songs and H. H. Barnhart and E. Moore, the club soloists, were enjoyed. ——————— OWNERS OF MARBLE WORKS CENSURED BY A JURY Death of Peter Petroneo, a Laborer, Is Laid to Lack of Precau- tions.

Should anything interest a husband_more than the state of his wife's health? No; it should be his first consideration, yet how mang are indifferent to it. If she is tired, ir- it and nervous and greets you with a ha| weary look instead of with the light. words and bright smile to which you are ac- customed, do_you stop to consider what the causes are? You are more apt to attribute the change to temper, when the poor wife for weeks, probably months, has striven to hide the pain which racks her body, under a cloak of seeming cheerfulness and 'repartee, -until the brain and nerves are so wearled they can no longer susfain the effort. Falling of the womb, inflammation of the ovaries and uterine disorders _of various kinds, superinduced by suppressed menstruation, leucorrhoea, etc., render a woman cross, irritable and petulant. Such disortiers completely transform a woman, not_only in disposition, but in appearance. Men, observe your Wives closely and see if they still retain the rosy cheeks, bright eyes, Eraceful movements and lithe form which you used to so admire, If they are haggard, faded and worn looking, derangement . in the female generative organs is undoubtedly ' the "cause.

Boeddiker, R 2ol BERKELEY, Oct. 7.—Two_ attempts within twenty-four hours’ mark the per- sistence of an unknown firebug to.destroy the home of Night Watchman George Boeddiker, situated in a remote part of the university campus. At half past nine last night and at 11 o’ctock this morning | the watchman’s house was set afire and each time the fire failed to get a sufficient start to destroy the structure. The first fire was discovered by Boed- diker underneath the steps, burning flerce- ly in a mass of ofl soaked paper. Later | investigation showed that the side of the house had been splashed with oil and iz- nited, but the flames had died out them- selves. This morning, when.all of the family were in the house, the firebug entered the front door and made his way to the bed- room of Elmer Hall, a student boarder, where he started a second blaze in the closet. The first intimation the family had of its presence was the sifting of the smoke through the shingles of the roof, After vainly endeavoring to locate the blaze on the roof, Boeddiker entered Hall's room and found a lively blaze in the interior of the closet. This fire was finally extinguished with a garden hose. In both instances fruft jars were found containing the kerosene. Boeddiker attributes the deed to parties whom he knows to have an enmity toward him.: He has received several threatening ‘letters in the past and has been expecting just such an attack as those perpetrated on him to-day.
