Special DispsUh. • Luling, Tex., Jan. 17.—The entire coin munity was plunged in sorrow when it was known Saturday morning that Miss Marie Champion had died during the night. Miss Marie Champion was one of Luling's brightest and most popular young ladies and made a brave fight for life. The funeral services were held Saturday afternoon and were conduct ed by Rev. W. A. Youngman of the Methodist church. Miss Marie Champion was a daugh ter of Mrs. N. Champion and the late Dr. N. Champion. Floral tributes of respect were numerous and beautiful. OLD CITIZEN DIES.

WHISKEY FOR LAME BACK The increased use of whiskey for Jame back and rheumatism is causing considerable discussion among the medi cal fraternity. It is an almost infal lible eure when mixed with certain other ingredients and taken properly. The following is the formula: “To one-half jrint of good whiskey add one ounce Toris compound and one ounce syrup Sarsaparilla compound. Take in tablespoonful doses before each meal and before retiring.” The ingredients ran be had from anv good druggist or he will quickly get them for yon. Anyone ean mix them. Hundreds were cured by this last sum mer. MONDAY, • (Chl AMUS & MEHTSW U By HARRY BOONE l\L . 1 V UNDERSTUDY MAKES GOOD AS "THE GOLDEN GIRL” Stepping from the chorus into the name part in a day and making good without any previous rehearsal, is al ! most unheard of in stageland, but this ’ feat was accomplished yesterday at the ■ Grand when Miss Gladys Eyman was promoted on a few minutes’ notice and I “went on” as “Dixie” in “The Gold en Girl.” Miss Flynn, who plays the part so cleverly, was taken ill just before the matinee and was forced to go to her hotel. Tn his stress the man ager called on Miss Eyman. She ac , cepted the job without hesitation. During the matinee performance she stumbled over the lines, having abso lutely no study of them, but she re hearsed between performances and last night gave a very creditable perform ance. She possesses a remarkably clear, bell-like voice, has a good stage | presence and it Tooks as if her days, for the chorus arc -practically over. , MUCH VARIETY IN NEW BILL AT ROYAL While there are no acts such ns Lloyd Spencer calls hum dingers on the bill at the Royal which opened yester day. there is much class and the four big Sunday audiences liked the enter tainment. A delightful little oddity that ap- j pealed much to the audience is the | opening net, the two Childers, rural characters. They depend absolutely on legitimate methods for their laughs, indulging in no horseplay or claptrap. [ They make up naturally and endeavor to act as naturally as possible. Th? sketch contains much really clever and new dialogue, which started slowly, in . creased in pace to where it had the audience in a scream, then trailed off y into a one string fiddle number that won much applause. i. Grace Maloney rendered three popn - lar numbers, all new. with such a good voice that she made one of the biggest hits ever scored at the Royal by a vo ' calistic “single.” > Tyene Lee and her Kandy Kids pre- ' i sent a singing and dancing act that i« well up to the standard. The introduc , tion of a wee bit of a baby ran up j the batting of the team into the 300 ; class and gave the finish the knock-out caliber. Ferguson and Mack. old-time Trish comedians, were a big hit. It has been years since a team of this sort—on the order of Murray ami Mack—appeared here, and the crowd liked them. Their comedy aerobatic stunts are rcallv , funny and the burlesque furnishes a I good finish. The act closes the bill. The Royal orchestra plays the music Ho “The Golden Butterfly” as an । overture and the pictures help to give ' an hour's entertainment that is worth “ the money. . TRAHERN COMPANY PRESENTS STRONG PLAY । Those who failed to see ‘‘The Wife’’ !at the Empire yesterday missed a treat. This strong American society drama is perhaps the strongest play yet presented by the company, and was given a rendition which pleased the two immensely. Miss Jessie Mae Hall’s reading of the part of Kitty Ives furnished a new surprise to her devotees. The absence of that stilted manner ami theatric reading of lines so often seen and de plored made her characterization stand out as one of the really refreshing ren ditions of the Reason. All the way I through the rather long but not tire some society drama one is held as in a spell by her girly joyousness and sim plicity, never overdone or mis-inter preted. The part of Kitty (coming out) fits her like a glove and she seems fair । ly to revel in the opportunities pre • rented to be just her tiny, teasing, । naive self. Others of the company deserve aj»e cial mention likewise. Perhaps one of the greatest surprises of the offering was the work of Miss Caroline Morri son. Seen heretofore in comedy charac ter roles, she was cast for Lucille Fer rant, an adventuress, and arose to the occasion in a manner that stamps her as a finished and versatile player of the first rank. ! De Forest F. Dawley as Senator John Rutherford was earnest and convincing. ■ His sympathetic voice and courtlv man ' ner added greatly to the success of the new production. There's a character in “The Wife” that is a gem of true comedy. Major Homer G. Putnam, who was—but Ju lian Barton had it and that’s enough said. Burt Mei’ann as Robert Grav was also good. Tie was the brilliant hut unlucky young attorney whose politi cal fortunes wore on the rise onlv to be dashed to the ground by the inevita able adventuress who entangles his name with that of another woman tor revenge. There is one unthankful part in every drama —the villain. Robert Vaughn gave a polished and particularly hateful interpretation of that gentleman (?) His insinuating suavity and underhand methods won for him cordial hatred. Miss Evelyn Foster as the wife. Miss Augusta West as Mrs. Bellamy Ives,and every member of the cast were consci- I entious and pleasing. BIG DEMAND FOR SEATS FOR GRACE VANSTUDDIFORD The seat sale for the Grace Vanßtud diford engagement Thursday opened this morning at the Grand, and the de mand indicates beyond a doubt that th® popular star will play to capacity at both performances. Speaking of star and opera, a Boston . critic in reviewing “The Golden But ! terfly.” said: j There is a delightful charm about | this modern opera which no Svish dis play or sartorial embellishment can ef feet. If it were shorn of its magnificent ' equipment of scenery and costumes, | “The Golden Butterfly” would thor- SAN ANTONIO LIGHTAND GAZETTE : oughly delight an audience for its en > tranciug music and the work geueralh of both star, author and composer ap , peals to all classes. The comedy situa । tions are uproariously funny, and the characters are rational and skilfully , drawn. Miss Van Studdiford enacts the , part of the fascinating Hungarian op , era singer with all the enthusiasm and , naivette of youth. Her histrionic tai ‘ ent .winning personality and sympathetic ' voice of velvet richness make her spe ‘ cially suiteel to the role. It is without a doubt the most, beautiful part that 1 the fair priina donna has ever been ' seen in. The company supporting her is unusually large in numbers and it is made up of exceptionally clever artists ' and a chorus that can sing as well as | look pretty. Nothing apparently has been left undone by the projectors of this production to make it rate among America's greatest amusement offer ings. YIDDISH OPERA COMPANY. PLEASES OMAHA AUDIENCE The Omaha Bee, in reviewing a per , formancc by the Yiddish Opera com pany, says: The theater was jammed with an ap preciative audience, most of the people being Jewish, for whom the Yiddish language, used exclusively in the piece, had no terrors. To one unversed in the tongue the plot appeared to lie that all the men j in the east except Aza rye wore whis kers. Yeftoch. the high priest, carried in addition a gilt drum major’s baton, with which he gesticulated while he thundered anathemas as the unfortu nate Esther, torn by her love for hits band and her filial duty to the man he had declared an outcast. In the second act the husband and wife sing a duet. In the third act a squad of armor-clad soldiers grab Es ther and drag her oft' to prison after the high priest an*l her husband have both pointed accusing fingers and hurled out a roast. Comedy features were furnished by Meshulem, a priest, who stuttered, and by Zoffness, a pretty handmaiden in the employ of Esther. The by play of 1 the piece was received with bursts of mirth by the understanding audience.

CITY COUNCIL WILL HAVE QUIET SESSION North Flores Street Project May Be Discussed as Will the Traffic Ordinance. The meeting of the city council this afternoon is expected to be rather quiet, unless some of the city fathers spring a surprise during |he session. “The meeting will be a tame affair, as far as I know,” said Mayor Callag han today. “The North Flores street widening project is now complete and action will doubtless be taken looking to the beginning of active work. Aside from this there is little that will come up for final disposition.” Amendments to the proposed traffic ordinance may come in for some discus sion when this measure is submitted on its second reading. The chairman of the committee on fire and fire limits may make a report on what has been accomplished by that picture establishments. This will be to committee with reference to the moving the effect that after a conference with representatives of the moving picture establishments, the fire committee, Fire Chief Wright and the building inspect or are engaged in making a personal tour of inspection to assist the owners of the shows in making changes so .is to comply with the ordinance. DEEP-SEATED DOUGH CURED IN 5 HOURS. New Home-Made Syrup. (Cut this out.) From Boston Press. Progress in medical compounds never ceases, and now it is stated by a prom inent medical man that any deep-seated cough or cold on the lungs’ can be actu ally cured in five hours by the clock. Opium and morphine have been re sorted to in the past, as relief measures. But now it is learned that the system must be treated to rid it of inflamma tion and congestion. A tonic laxative cough syrup does the work so quicklv and thoroughly as to be almost magical. What heretofore has taken weeks to cure can be accomplished in hours. Get this formula filled or mix it at home and always keep it on hand: One half ounce fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce compound essence cardio) and three ounces syrup white pine compound. Shake the bottle and take twenty drops every half hour for four hours. Then take one half to one tcaspoonfnl three or four times a day until the system is purified and tones up. Give children less according to age One filling will usually cure a whole family, as the dose is small.

HOW DIO YOU GET THAT HEDGE IM COLD EH? -- There Are All Kinds of Ways to Get It and Here Are a Few — Look Out for Epidemic. The annual winter epidemic of colds, coughs and sneezing in San Antonio is in full blast. Thousands of people in I San Antonio are afflicted more or less j severely. Though the winter mo.uths j usher in the greatest suffering from \ ' % FUNNY OLD QUACK CURES. ", \ Here are some old-time cold ' \ remedies that doctors say will •» '■ do more harm than good, al- “■ "• though they were in high favor •« “■ a generation or so ago: *» ’■ BRIAR ('URE—Gum from a *■ "■ cut in a briar bush, eaten, was *« "■ once called a sure cold remedy. ’■ ’• STOCKING CURE—Remove "« '« stocking from foot and bind jt % ’• around the neck when retjri: .; ■« at night.

ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS—Thia '■ fake remedy has been exposed “• “■ many times, but is still popu- "• j “• lar in rural districts. '• dds. it is not weather itself that mses all the coughing. Two of the ildest winters, 1890 and 1891, saw a eat spread of influenza all over the nd. Many doctors are talking yet 'out the hard work they had in ’9l. Somebody once defined a eold as “a sease from whieh you didn’t suffer ttch, but which took about six months eure. ’ ’ Doctors themselves admit that the dure of colds varies with the in vidual. For instance, there are at ast twenty kinds of sore throat. Crowds in trains, churches, the thea r. dance halls and other crowded aees are conducive to the spread of Ids. Dance halls are one of the prin pal sources of coughing. Beni. Franklin once wrote an essay i colds. Some of the things he said e good today. He pointed out that e weather alone could not cause colds id coughing. Turkish bath attend ds are in hot air one minute, and cold iter the next, yet they do not take Id. Neither did the Indians, when p y roamed through snow up to their eks. Colds and coughing were un inwn to them until the days of civili tion. Overeating and improper feeding are ings that will make most anybody bject to the despised cough. There's ?n a lot of holiday overeating lately, d this may have caused the cold ideniie. Ever since old-fashioned almanacs gan to circulate, home remedies for Ids have been tried. But none of em is reliable. Any doctor knows is. When people begin to cough, as many San Antonio are doing now, they e laying the foundation for more tmble. If you have taken cold — Don't monkey with it. Don't let it run along. See a doctor and follow his advice. M here the soldier kills 1000 men. a mens doctor once said, the cook in e kitchen kills her 10.000. So if you e one of them in San Antonio, who sn "t caught a cold yet, be careful 'out your eating. “Feed a cold and starve a fever.” is one of the worst pieces of advice er handed out to a coughing public, “vers follow cold and most colds are eompanied by fever. Your doctor is the best advisor, you n get if yon are coughing, for the outwent of the cold depends on the dividual. " leaf may enro you would do some idy else little good. The doctor is the rson to decide. Fresh air, good food, plenty of pure rf ■ ■ water to drink, and sensible dress are I four sure preventatives of cold if good care is taken of the body. Your doctor is the man to give you medicine for your cold.
