Pleased Audience. "The Traveling Salesman," as prevented at the Gennett theater last evening pleased a large audience. The mall house was packed to its utmost capacity and the S. R. O. sign was hung out soon after the doors opened. The play Is exceedingly well balanced and of the kind that especially appeals to the theater-going public. The common place situations and naturalness 'with which all the characters are assumed strikes the proper note and hoM9 the attention of the audience until the final curtain draj.3. Frank J. Mclntyre, as "Kob Blake," the traveling salesman, takes the audience by storm. His genial arad geed natured disposition, witty remarks and whimsical humor makes a bis hit and he is liked from the very first Fortunately Mclntyre possesses a personality which admirably fit the role, that of a big hearted drummer, a man of the world, without exalted ideas, but grossly sentimental when he falls In love. A strong thread of human interest funs through the play along with the delightful comedy. It would be an injustice to the company to pick Individual stars for without exception the roles were exceedingly well enacted and could scarcely be improved. However the clever bit of character acting of Miss Sarah McVicker as "Mrs. Babbitt" Is deserving of special mention. "A Hired Girl." A capital lot of entertainers in the merry jingle of mirth and melody "A Hired Girl," will appear at the Gennett next Thursday evening. This is conceded to be one of the best musical farce comedies on the road and is headed by the ever popular Stella Alden. who will make the house ring with laughter during the progress of her Inimitable work, as the "Hired Girl," and her legion of friends are sure to give her a rousing reception. "The Mythical Country." In story, drama and poem an especial and peculiar interest it attached to the mythical country. Perhaps this Interest is a survival of the days when we loved fairy tales, laid in the lands or romance and doubtful location. Anthony Hope realised this when he Invented his wonderful Zenda, and his numerous imitators have seized upon the Idea to their own advantage, and the more or less pleasure of their readThe most fascinating of all these countries It waa left for Fran Lehar and his librettists to discover and em HIP JPaaromto How Important It is that ; school children have proper food, they -would see to It that Grape-Huts ' and cream Is served one or-two : meals a day regularly. Grape-Nuts Is scientifically . made of wbeat and barley and contains the phosphate of potash, grown In the grain, for ' building brain and nerves to the j highest degree of perfection. This food can be eaten and digested In the time required to cook an ordinary meal, and cblMren- like Its neutral flavour. It Is not only a brain-builder, bat keeps them plump and rosy.

body in "The Merry Widow," that exT quislte operetta, which has been the marvel and delight of all those who have been fortunate enough to witness it. And if you have not seen and heard it, it is to argue yourself and Ishmael, one quite out of the fold of up-to-date people. Marsovia is the name of this land where "The Merry Widow" and her equally merry associates live and disport themselves. And what a land to be enjoyed while there, and dreamed of afterward, it is! Its picturesquencss is unapproachable, and the beauty of its inhabitants, in their odd and splendid costumes, . enough to inspire the brush of any painter. And how they sirs, and with what skill, grace and lightness they dance in this sam Marsovia. Italy has its attractions, so has Spain, so has France, so has the Orient; but none of them has so much o offer for the ravishment of the senses as has Marsovia. And it is not an expensive journey there. No one'knows just where it is, and yet it is or soon will be close to your door. Discover it and make the acquaintance of "The Merry Widow" but beware! You will lose you heart to her, time-seasoned and theater-blase though you may be, as you have never lost It to anyone before, when you see her at the Gennett theater Friday evening. "The Golden Butterfly." London always wants to hear the best American theatrical products. Last season Henry B. Harris sent Rose Stahl and her American company in "The Chorus Lady and scored a success. Now they send a call for our favorite prima donna, Grace Van Studdiford. to appear in her latest creation "The Golden Butterfly." The application comes from Mr. George Edwards, manager Daly's theater, he is anxious for the star and her American company to open at the famous playhouse next spring. This will hardly be possible as Miss Van Studdiford has contracts to play in every important city in thi3 country, and the tour is expected to take up at least two more years. "The Golden Butterfly" is the greatest comic opera that has been presented in this country during the past twenty years. It is the point work of Reginald de Koven and Harry B. Smith and in this their latest creation, they have given to us an opera that will live as long as "Robin Hood." The opera was especially written for Miss Van Studdiford, who is the foremost comic opera singer in America. The Golden Butterfly will be the big TAKE THEM OUT Or Feed Them Feed They Study On. Can When a student begins to break down from lack of the right kind of food, there are only two things to do; either take him out of school or feed him properly on food that will rebuild the brain and nerve cells. That food is Grape-Nuts. A boy writes from Jamestown, N. Y., saying: "A short time ago I got into a bad condition from overstudy.' but Mother' having heard about Grape-Nuts food began to feed me on it. It satisfied my hunger better than any other food, and the results were marvelous. I got fleshy like a good fellow. My usual morning headaches disappeared and I found I could study for a long period without fatigue. "My face was pale and thin, but Is now round and has considerable color. After I had been using Grape-Nuts for about two months I felt like a new boy altogether. I harve gained greatly in strength as well as flesh, and It is a pleasure to study now that I am not bothered with my head. I passed all my examinations with a reasonably good percentage, extra good In some of them, and It is Grape-Nuts that has saved me from a year's delay in entering college. "Father and mother have both been improved by the use of GrapeNuts. Mother was troubled with sleepless nights, and got very thin, and looked care-worn. She has regained her normal strength, sleeps well nights and looks well." Read "The Road to WeUvllle" in pkgs. There's a Reason. Battle Creek. Mich., U. S. A,

THE HTCH3IOTTD PAIIADIUM AITD STTN-TEL.EQIIAM, TUESDAY,

the Dennett Tonight

society event at the Gennett tomorrow night. New Phillips Theater. Despite the many counter attractions the Duncan Hypnotic Comedy company had a large audience at the New Phillips Theater last night. Duncan secured a class of subjects from the audience who were willing to try a few tests with the phenomena of hypnotism and he . put them through many laughable pranks that kept the audience laughing heartily. The various phases of hypnosis were demonstrated during the performance, and the test in catalepsy was undoubtedly the most convincing to the skeptical persons in the audience. While in a cataleptic condition a young man was placed between two ordinary kitchen chairs in a horizontal position and supported' the weight of five men without his body relaxing from its rigid condition. The thought transference exhibition between the hypnotist and Miss Maxine Hewitt, mystified as well as amused the audience as the little lady did numerous things requested by the audience without a word being spoken to her. During the performance Roy Brown was awakened from his fifty hours' hypnotic sleep, during which time he was on exhibition in the window of Allen and company's furniture store, and at the conclusion of the performance a young lady was put to sleep for a period of forty-eight hours and will occupy the same space made vacant by the removal of the young man, until Wednesday night, when she will be awakened at the New Phillips theatre. Tonight the hypnotic cake walk will be the principal laughing feature. The carrier boys of the Richmond papers will be guests of Mr. Murray and the Duncan company at the New Phillips tonight. The Murray Theater. The feature act at the Murray theatre, "A Night with the Poets," has come up to the expectations of every patron. This Is one of the most expensive acts in vaudeville and is only featured at the largest houses on the Sun and Murray circuit. Richmond may be glad to have the opportunity to witness a classic and dramatic playlet that is presented by a very capable company. Mr. Clinton Lloyd who reads several of Riley's poems, has been a dramatic teacher of much reputation In Cleveland and Pittsburg and has also been with several noted stars in the past The quartet with the company is excellent and the songs which they render show cultivated voices. Van Dell and Rezell prove to be a very good mirth provoking team. The black face member of this team is especially good, having a different style of voice delivery than any other comedian hitherto seen in Richmond. Werntz aerial act proved to be a very good exhibition of gymnastic feats. The girl member of this team is apparently iron-jawed from the manner in which she hangs on a suspended rope by her teeth only. Bert Melbern Is right there when it comes to handing out good jokes. The illustrated song this week is written by Miss Margaret Zimmerman, a well known young society girl of this city, who is now studying music at Chicago. The song made quite a hit. A LESSON IN LOGIC Lord Erskine's Way With Ruffianly Horse Beater. It Is only within the memory of hlog man that legislation has undertaken to protect domestic animals from the craelty of their owners. Ownership was beld to be absolute by most, bat there was one man lti England a hundred years ago who could demonstrate the untenable nature of this theory. This man was Thomas Ersklne. one of tne greatest lawyers and advocates of his are.' A tradition survives st Hempstead, the residence of Lord Ersklne. which Charles G. Harper has put into his book. "Rural Nooks Round London." and which bows bow this legal authority would have administered more recent laws. It Is related that the celebrated Lord Ersklne. walking one day on Hampstead heath, saw a ruffianly driver shamefully thrashing a miserably 111 cared for hone. My lord remonstrated with the driver on the cruelty of it, whereupon the fellow retorted: "It's my own. Mayn't I use it as I please T Then be started whacking the wretched animal worse than ever. Ersklne. greatly annoyed, laid hie walking stick over the shoulders of the offender, who. crouching and grumbling, asked my lord this Is the drawing room version, not a verbatim report, which would read rather differentlywhat business he had to teach him with the stick. -Why." said Ersklne. "the stick's my own. Mayn't I use it as I please?" He Came nam. He My dear, if I'm not home at 10 don't wait for me. ,

PETS OF GREAf LADIES.

Some Curious Affectation;, of London's Social Favorites. Some pr?(tr rough things have been said about tbe affet;it ious of Kuglisb aristocracy from time to time, but tbe recent accouuts of their household pets are about as incomprehensible as any of their otber foibles. The greyhound and the long, silky eared spauiel are things of tbe past. Tbe Due Less of Marlborough is said to bare a special fondness for serpents. She spends days also in tbe park at Blenheim with tbe gazelles, which in her society seem to forget their traditional shyness. Her other pets are grotesque looking pellcans, which may be seen about the shores of tbe ponds. Lady Warwick the titled Socialist leader, especially loves white animals, and in her grouuds at Warwick are white peacocks, all kinds of white birds, even a white ele phant. Her special treasure Is a white parrot which is said to be more than a century old. Lady Cadogan has a famous collection of snakes. She is able to drape some of tbern a boot ber in such a way that they serve as jewelry. Among her pets are two trained lizards. Lady Cottenham nurses with great care her dormice, and Lady Churchill is said to be happiest when ber crocodile is near her. Lady Hope's pet is an ape from Senegal, while Mrs. Rose Hubbard one of tbe most popular of the women in Mrs. Keppel's set, raises geese. Miss Rose Boughton, one of the most liked of the unmarried girls in London society. Insists upon taking to all the bouses that will allow her a hyena that she brought from Constantinople and has tamed. A NEW MATTRESS. Foreign Affair That May Be Worthy of a Trial. It has often been said that thou sends of people live and die without ever having known the luxury of sleeping upon a really comfortable bed. for, strange as It may seem, the proper care of beds and bedding is one of the pet economies of the Eng lish housewife, writes a London cor respondent. Her French sisters set her a better example, for at this time of the year every good housewife In France is employed In the overlook lng and tbe thorough cleansing and remaking of her household mattresses, which, according to the latest hygienic theories, are veritable traps for col lecting dust and dirt. An improvement upon this state of affairs has lately been introduced in the form of a new sanitary mattress that does away with tbe need of this yearly overhauling. Its inventor has bit upon tbe plan of arranging some , thousand coppered steel springs incased in ingenious woven calico pock-' ets that are kept in place by rigid fastenings, so that each works inde-j penaenuy witnout coming in contact with the other, the whole being Incased in horsehair. These new sanitary mattresses not only insure perfect rest, but they ab- j solutely prevent the entry of dust or j other objectionable matter. At the same time the new mattress is perfectly ventilated, so that it Is always kept pure and fresh, and it should be a boon to hundreds of housewives. Hat Supporter. The illustration shows a hat supporter. You may wonder what this curious edifice is Intended for, but when you are let into the secret you will at once realize Its worth. It is used in a batboz to hold up the present style of enormous chapeau. with its profuse underbrim trimming snd the long, drooping ostrich plumes. Thus it prevents these costly trimtnlrjrs from bein? yushed when not in use. Tbe bat rest is made out of two embroidery hoops, one a half inch smaller than tbe other. Thse are connected by three standards, made of cardboard, corset steels, whalebone or thin strips of wood. Standards and rings are closely bound with ribbon, and the joints, where the hoops are sewed to tbe standards, are hidden beneath smart little bows of the ribbon. The "rest is now a thing of beauty and Is ready to be a joy, if not forever at least for as long ss the present f;i-'i bt lingers. Its A Top Notch Doer. Great deeds compel regard. The world crowns its doers. That's why the American people have crowned Dr. King's New Discovery the King of Throat and Lung remedies. Every atom is a health force. It kills germs, and colds and la grippe vanish. It heals cough-racked membranes and coughing stops. Sore, Inflamed bronchial tubes and lungs axe cured and hemorrhages cease. Dr. Geo. More, Black Jack, X. C. writes it cured me of lung trouble, pronounced hopeless by all doctors. 50c, f 1.00. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by A. G. Luken & Co.

ORIGIN Oh NAVAL TITLES. Borrencd Military Trrna From th Arabic m, 1 the Spanish. In tbe early days tlie rank of admiral was unknown. Tbe chief officer of a 6quadrou was called n constable or Justice. Tbe term a lmiral as now useJ is derived from tbe Arabic "amir," or "emir," a commander (as in "amlr-al Jabr," couiuiiiiuler of tbe sea). The early English form v.-as "amlral" and is still preserved cs such by tbe French. The Spanish and Portuguese terms are "almirante," the Italian "ammiraglio." The title captain is not a naval but a military one. Under the older organization tbe real captain of a ship w as a master, but a military officer was placed ou board, though be knew nothing about nautical affairs. As the captain became bigger and bigger the master became smaller and smaller until at the present day be fills a subordinate position, which la gradually becoming obsolete, being replaced by an officer under the title of a navigating lieutenant. Commodore comes from the Spanish "commendador." The title lieutenant, borrowed directly from the French, Is more modern and is meant as a place holder or one who took tbe place of tbe captain when absent. Sublieutenant is still more modern and at the same time a misnomer, as be never was a sublieutenant, but merely a mate, or one who assisted. In former days we had no cadets, but volunteers. However, with the gradual advance of polltness, the more seemly term of cadets was borrowed from the French and adopted as the title of the young gentlemen In our navy. In place of paymasters tbe ships of old had pursers, who looked after the provisions. The naval purser did more. He had charge of the stores of the ship and the money chest. Surgeons and surgeons mates fulfilled the duties of the doctors. Chaplains are of modern Introduction. Naval instructors and scLooImasters ruled in their stead. The term mate was rather s universal oue and a''"l t " -"'he. i - The Libretto. "Pa, what is a libretto?" "A libretto, Aurelius, is a home for old jokes." Detroit Saturday Night.
