HYPERION,

George Thatcher aud his fiue company
will present africa" here tonight.
Many enconiums have been heapsd upon
the producer of this new musical comedy
and success has marked its path wherever
1t has gone. The Clipper recently said:
SIT is ono of the most, If not the most en-
tertaining amusements OF its class New
York has ever SEEM" The piece ia built
on original lines, there being q plst OF
sufficient depth to do away with the usual
Inconsistency that marks productions Of
its kind. The story is an interesting one
and hinges on the doings Of q college
graduate, who thinks he Ia destined to
explore Africa from where Stanley left
off.
The "Black Crock" comes here Thurs
day. Friday and Saturday evenings with a
matinee on Saturday. For sixteen years
this grand old spectacle has been known to
thestsr goers, but never has been seen such
. production as Is being given this season
under the management of Eugene Temp

The attractions at the Hyperion next
week will be on Monday, April Q. Edwin

Thursday evening. April 8, "Rosedale''
will be presented with n. j. Howsrth and
star company, the same that appeared
here and gave euch great satisfaction
earlier In the season; Saturday, April z,
Hoyt's ever welcome "a Trip to China

to sse the magnificent aquatic melo.drams,

received with hearty applause. The race
for the diamond SOULS in the third act,
which is won by the distinguished oars
man, William Post, champion Of Connect
Ont, WAS excellent in every particular.
The death struggle and drowning scene in
the fourth act, with the rescue, were
thrilling features Of the entertainment.
There will be . matinee and an evening

There is no doubt that the life of

obtained by evaporation from the

SALT (powder form) is in no sense
a mere purgative, but is an alter
alive and eliminative remedy which
dissolves tenacious bile, allays irri-
tation and removes distractions by
aiding nature. 1t acts soothingly
and without pain, and is, therefore,
far superior than all pills, pur-
gatives and other remedies. 1t is
best taken during the Spring and

very familiar with the ground covered
by this discussion. He thought the
establishment of such an academy as
Mr.. Spofford proposed would be help

or the plan was the smallness of the
organization. He thought there should
be two hundred members rather than
TWENTY-FIVE. He did not think such
an academy would interfere with
existing societies in the different
