With the innocence of a child he obeyed her command one morning and started on a journey to a point fifteen miles from the villa. When he came back at nightfall she was gone and with her a man whose cpulence was well known in Milan. TAKES HIS JEWELRY. Nor was this' all of Russo’'s troubles. He discovered that Collamarini had given all his costly wardrobe away and taken his jewelry, even visiting a jewelry shop and securing a watch that he was hav- ing repaired. Then the tenor found him- self without a dollar, but with the aid of friends came to New York in the steer- age, hoping that he might find the wom- an there and call her to account. When he landed on the American shores he was penniless and among strangers and a search for Collamarini came to naught. Then he turned toward San Francisco and arrived a few days ago. It was whispered that he came to tak a part in the production of “Carmen,’ | which is to open at the Tivoll next week, but those who heard his words of bitter denunciation, and yet of love, for the woman soon found that this was not so. “She will die like Carmen,” he said, “‘the first time I meet her on earth. We have played the part before; then it will be real.” Russo’s friends have the greatest sym- pathy for him and are urging him to for- get the contralto and commence life anew. This he says he cannot do and reiterates his promise to some day or other furnish the “Carmen” climax in reality. @ il @ Sustains Board’s Demurrer. The demurrer to the petition of Frank Russo for an order restraining the Board of Public, Works from interfering with his bootblack stand on Seventh and Mis- sion streets was sustained by Judge Sea- well yesterday. He was given ten days to amend and the temporary restraining order issued when the petition was filed was ordered discharged. The demurrer was on the ground that the petition did not state sufficient cause for action. —_————————— Claims Scaffolding Was Defective. Ernest Selby Sommerville sued the Union Iron Works yesterday for $5000 damages for injuries received in a fall from a scaffolding while he was at work on the cruiser Californla. He claims the scaffolding was defective. _IWAIGHTS SETTLE ’| posession of stock in the THER TROUBLES Dismiss More Than Forty Suits in Which They Were Engaged.

A ) The real heroines of every day are in our homes. Frequently, how. ever, it is a mistaken and useless heroism.

Don’t resort to strong stimulants or cotics when this great strengthening, healing remedy for women always within reach. . FREE MEDICAL ADVICE TO WOMEN. If there is anything in your case about which you would like special advice, write freely to Mrs. Pinkham. No man will see your letter. She can surely help you, for no person in America has such a wide experience in treating female ills as she has had. She has helped hundreds of thousands of women back to health. Her address is Lynn, Mass., and her advice is free. You are very foolish if you do not accept her kind invitation. For proof read the symptoms, suffering and cure recited in the following letters: “D: Mes. PrvemAs:—1I wish to express to you the great bemefit I have derived from vour advice and the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound. My trouble was female weakness in its worst form and I was in a very bad condition. I could not perform my household duties, m> back ached. I was extremely nervous, and I could not eat or sleep, and t bearing-down pains were terrible. My husband spent hundreds of dollar to get me well, and all the medicine that the doctors prescribed failed to do me any good ; I resorted to an operation which the physician said was necessar) to restore me to health, but I suffered more after it than I did before; I had hemorrhages of the womb that nothing could seem to stop. i 1 noticed one of yonr advertisements and wrote you for advice, ceived your reply and dbrefully followed all instructions. I immediately began to get stronger, and in two weeks was about the house. I took eight bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and continted following your advice, and to-day I am a well woman. Your remedies and help are a Godsend to suffering women, and I cannot find words to thank you for what you have done for me.” — Mrs. LoTTiE V. NAvLOB, 1328 N. J. .W., Washington, D. C. DeAR MRs.

Lea, 141 Lyndal St., Newcastle, Pa. “Dear Mns. Prvnax: —Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound has done a great deal for me.

My husband said that I should keep right on taking it as long as it gave me relief from my suffering, as I could not expect to be cured by one or two bottles. I did so and am now able to be on my feet and work hard all day, and go to bed and rest at night. Thanks to your Vegetable Com- pound I am certainly grateful for the relief it gave me.
