The Gallia.
"A Yankee Drummer," a popu-
lar domestic farce comedy in five
acts, brimful of fun from begin-
ning to end, was the attraction at
The Gallia last night. Notwith-
standing the exceedingly cold
weather, a fair sized audience
greeted the performers. The sev
eral clever specialties introduced
met with hearty approval and
demonstrative applause.
Mr. Frank Jones as Simon
Hummer, the Yankee farm ma-
chine drummer, impersonated that
character to perfection; his <|naint
delivery and comical positions
made him a favorite with the
lower as well a« the upper portion
of the house.
Miss Lillian Walton as Zana,
the Gypsy girl, does some clever
work. Her dancing was excel-
lent and her impersonation of a
Gypsy gill was an original con-
ception. Her costnme and gener-
al make-up was good.
Miss Dorothy Horr as Thadde
us Warsaw was the life and
soul of the performance. This
little lady ia well np with her
business, seeming to be at home
in all parts.
The vocal quartette has the nec-
essary material and make-np to
produce tuneful mnsic, but some-
thing wits lacking last night. We
believe a little more attention to
rehearsals would remedy the
trouble.
By special request Mr. Jones
and his excellent company will
repeat the Yanke Drummer at a
matinee this afternoon, and "A
Country Cousin," his original
rustic comedy in four acts, to-
night. The gentleman is an ar-
tist in his profession and theater-
going people shonld not fail to
see him.

Chicago, 111 , Nov. 27.—The
Tribune's special from Jackson-
ville, Fla., says: Col Jose Reyes,
aide-de-camp of General Maeeo,
wounded and en route to New
York for medical treatment and
with dispatches to the junta,
passed through here yesterday.
He says the lighting in the Rubi
Hill portion of Pinar del Rio was
the most sauguinary of the war.
iie claims that 2000 of Weyler's
men were killed in t vo days and
twice as many wonnded. Weyler
went to the field with 35,000 men
in three columns, one of 15,000
under himself, one of 10,000 under
General Echague and a third of
10,000 under General Munox.
They fonnd Maceo entrenched
In a crescent-shaped range of
hills. When at the foot of the
hills the Spaniards were met with
a withering Ore that cut gaps in
their ranks. Maceo's men shot
from behind rocks and trees and
gradually gave way before the
Spaniards, who, encouraged by
what they thought to be victory,
pursued.
Suddenly a deafening explosion
tent the air and a second followed
somewhat like the mine horror at
Petersburg during the civil war.
Horses and men were, blown high
in the air and fell to the earth
dead and mangled. The dy\a:i;ite
mine was touched off by Jc' i
Linn, formerly of this city, # if
Maceo's electrician. Mace.' th' r.
let loose hi-* dynamite guns -re
pared by Linn and more havoc
was wrought.
In the mine explosion Colonel
Reyes Rays Weyler lost 700 men
killed and 500 mortally injured,
beside J 1600 wounded. Next dav
Maceo, knowing of the reserve
force under Weyler, retreated to a
strouger position. There he was
attacked by the column under
Echague. who was roundly thrash
ed and driven from the field, leav-
ing 800 men killed and 1300
wounded. Next day Maceo re-
treated again, maneuvering all the
while to entrap Weyler into a
field that hid been honeycombed
with dynamite. Meantime, how-
ever, General Weyler, hearing
that there was danger ot an upris-
ing in Havana because of his fail-
ure to crush Maceo, hastened back
to that city.

P. P. P., Lippman's Great Remedy, Sav«
a Man From Becoming a Cripple.
Mr. Asa Airmons, a well - Mown
citizen of Jacksonville, Florid was
afflicted by a terrible ulcer. Medical
skill seemed unavailing iD st<i»P'ng the
ravages of the terrible disease. _ The
leg was swollen and inten'ly painful,
as the ulcer had eaten ^v«iv down
to the very bone. All medicines and
treatments having faifcd to effect a
cure, the doctors s»<d the leg must
come off. Just w»vn it seemed that
Mr. Ammons woul/ become a disabled
and a crippled rpftn, he tried P. P. P.,
Lippman's Cirea* Remedy, and the re-
sult was wonderful.
P. P. P. SAVES HIS LEG.
" Jacksonville, Fla., July 1, 1895.—
Two years ago I had the worst ulcer
on my leg 1 ever saw. It had eaten
down to the bone, and my whole leg
below my knee, and my foot was
swollen and inflamed. The bone was
swollen and painful, and discharged a
rmjst offensive matter". My physicians
said I had necrosis of the bone, and
my leg would have to come off. At
this stage I commenced to take P. P. P.
and to bathe my leg with hot castile
soap suds. It began to improve at
one and healed rapidly, and is to-day
a r <und and useful leg.
"I think P. P. P., Lippman's Great
Remedy, is all a man couUl ask for as
a blood purifier, as I have known it to
cure so meterrible cases of blood poi-
soning in a remarkably short lime.
"ASA AMMONS."
TERRIBLE BLOOD POISON.
The body covered with sores—two
bottles of P. P. P. made a positive and
permanent cure. This is only oue of
many thousand similar cases.
Catarrh yields at once to P. P. P.
That smothered feeling at night, that-
heavy feeling in the day — can and
should be removed ; P. P. P. will do it
if you only give it a chance.
Indigestion and constipation go hand
in hand. Headaches and total loss of
appetite are the results. Regulate
yourself and tone up your stomach
with P. P. P.

POOR AUNT ABBY.
So Considerate That She Is In s Very
Trying Dilemma. f
"I guess yon remember Amt Abby
Pettingill," said Mrs. Ezra Stackpolc,
relating the news of the neighborhood
to Mrs. 'Lias Pine, who nad come over
from South Squam to Make her aunnal
visit. "Well, she's leen sick for quite
a long spell, an I doi't believe she will
ever get np from iv* bed.''
"Can't the doo.ors do bor any good?"
"That's just it—she ain't bad a doc
tor."
"I want trtnow! Whai is the matter
with her?"
"Sho thnfcs she has got a floatin kid-
ney or s»methin of tho kind, but my
son Irlug, who has just graduated
from th® academy, says he ca'culates
she'' snfferin from a complication of
excessive consideration an a redundancy
c. professional consanguinity."
"What in time does he mean?"
"Why, you see, Aunt Abby is one of
tho most considerate persons that ever
was. She wouldn't hurt a feller cree-
ter's feelin's for anything in the world
an would rather put herself out than to
have anybody elso feel like she was
slightin 'em. Her daughter, Mary Ellen,
is married to a homeypath doctor an
her daughter Hetty to an allypath; her
nephew ia an undertaker, an her second
cousin is one of them faith cure be-
lievers, an some cf her best friends are
water cure people, an so on. If she calls
in the boweypatli, her allypath son-in-
law an all liis folks will be dreadful
mad, an if she has the allypath the
other doctor an his wife will feel slight-
ed an set down on. If she has either of
'em, or both, an dies, the faith cure an
water cure folks will always hold that
it was drugs that killed her. If she lias
either of tho curists au dies, tho doctors
will declare that she was slain by cranks,
an there will bo family quarrels even to
tho third an fourth generations, as the
Scripturo says. If she goes ahead an
gets well without the assistance of any
of 'em, they'll all be mad, even the
undertaker. An so she told me yester-
day, in a weak an discouraged way,
that she'd about made up her mind to
just lay there an die without the aid of
any of her relatives."—Truth.

Americans to winter on oar gulf

the Galveston Tribune heartily

but insists that Texans should

a resort for northerners. And
true it is that the region of the
Rio Grande has many attractions,
climatic and otherwise, for those
in search of winter nesting places.
