Director Gheusi, of the Parly Opera Comique, Has received more than one manu- es, according Telegraph, and in particular there has reached him one of a three-act it, however, from the fact that vo | clue to the composer's identity has yet been discovered. . It seems that Mr. Gheusi was so! struck by the dignity and masterly | technique of the score that he su-| spected the atonymous author of be- ing possibly one of the luminaries: of | his profession who, by this subter-| fuge, wished to test the merits of | his work on its face value, and to] compete on equal terms with his! less-known rivals. Accordingly, Di-| rector Gheusi gathered round him same of his colleagues to study the score with a view to unravelling the problem. But, while none of them could recoguize the style of any of their contemporaries, all, it is said, agreed that "a new masterpiece had been created for the glory of French musje." Margaret Anglin is appearing in a revival of Oscar Wilde's brilliant comedy-drama, "A Woman of No Im- portance.' & The play is an ironical and cynical study of English high life set forth in the same spirit as "Lady Winder- mere's Fan," which Miss Anglin re- vived so successfully two years ago The wit, humor and sayasm of which the brilliant and eccentric an- thor was a master are are abundant- ly illustrated in the text.

THE NEWEST DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY This is a recent discove: of Doctor | Additions Issue Pierce, who is head of the Invalids' | Hotel and Surgical Institate at Buffalo, | N.Y.

The best of results are always obtained in cases of acute rheumatism in the joints, in gravel and gout, and invariably the pains and stiffness which | 80 frequently and persistently accom- pany the disease rapidly disappear. Go to your nearest drug store and | simply ask for ,.a 50-cent package of ®Anuric," manufactured by Dr. Pierce, or send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce for a large trial package. If yon suspect kidney or bladder trouble send him a sample of your water and describe symptoms. Doctor Pierce's chemist will examine it, then Dr, Pierce will report to you, without fee.or charge. OTE : -- French scientists affirm that ®Anuric" is thirty-seven times more active than lithia in eliminating uric acid, and is a harmless but reliable chemical compound that may be ately given to children, but should be u only by 'grown-ups who actually wish to restore their kidneys to perfect health, by conscientiously using one box--- or more in extreme cases---as "Anuric" (thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievement) is by far the most perfect kidney and bladder corrector obtainable.
