 This evening John l.. Stoddard will deliver the fourth lecture in his course at the Hyperion. With the exception of Switzerland no European country in Europe can vie in scenery with Nor way and in the latter country may be had unique experiences not found else where, among which is the strange spec tacle of the midnight sun.
 Blue Jeans was presented to good sized audience last evening. The com pany was the same which presented the play here last season.
 Every lover of song and fun will be delighted to see at the Hyperion on Thursday evening clever and dainty Fanny Rice in her new play, Nancy" It is really an operatlc comedy, and it gives the talented little lady the op- portunlty to display her very peculiar and original talents and great versatil- ity. Miss Rices company is said to be entirely adapted to all the demands upon it, and the result is smooth, finished performance and delightful en- tertainment. Sale of seats now open.

Granjeau and May made big hit at
 the Wonderland yesterday in their sen
 sational and picturesque performance on the slack wire When Mir Granjeau,
 dressed in woman's attire, runs, walks,
 leaps and tumbles on the wire, the ap-
 plause is deafening; but when he be- gins to turn somersaults, rebounding from the wire like a piece of rubber, the spectators rise from their seats in excitement Miss May arouses much interest also with her pretty movements on the wire. The comedy features of the bill are exceptionally good. The Du- rell twin brothers set everybody laugh ing with their clever bon mots. Pete Shaw impersonates females as only he can, and Napier and Marzelo perform capitally on the horizontal bars Miss Gladys Van sings sweetly and dances splendidly, and William IT. Daily pre- sents a. lively monologue of wit and fun ny songs of the Joe Flynn order The Emmet trio are clever artists, little Miss Lillian being remarkably cute The Sankey brothers are remarkable twisting themselves into the most elaborate and complicated knots and shapes.

Grand Opera House.

The return of the Wilbur opera com pany to the Grand for a weeks run was favorably inaugurated last even- ing, mammoth audience being present, "The Black Hussar" was given in an eX- cellent manner. The old faces were cor- dially welcomed. There was only one change in the cast, Claude Amsden took the place of James Donnelly, who was last seen in the part of Hacken- back, the magistrate of Tautenfield, MT. Amsden made a good impression. J. ID. Conley, the handsome tenor, was warmly applauded, He has a sweet sympathetic voice, and knows how to use it to the best advantage. E. A. Clark's fine baritone was welcomed. It is not often that so good a voice is heard among the singers of trayeling com pany.

 is not only first class comedian, but soloist of merit, and his comic songs are greatly enjoyed. Miss Lillie Tay- Tor made an admirable Barbara, and clumped noisily into the favor of the audience. Her encounters with "his magistrateness" were humorous. Miss Taylor after the opera has important work to do in draping the models for the living pictures. Miss Hattie Rich ardson made a pretty Rosetta, and Messrs, Pincus and Vaughan handled small parts to advantage.
 The choruses were we'll sung, and everybody in the house appeared to be pleased.
 The feature, however, as has been said was the artistic Living Pictures" They are works of art, and many of the pictures are so excellent that they sur pass even the original painting. The pictures "Comrades,'' "Gettysburg," ''Rebecca at the We'll" Morning" "Wild Waves" "The Angelus," "Flow- CT Girl" and "Tritby" elicited rounds of merited applause,
 ''The Black Hussar' will be present. ed again this afternoon, and "Boccac- cio'' will be presented this evening

 Those who have not seen Professor schurr's great collection of bugs, bee ties snakes lizards, birds and many other curiosities collected from all parts of the world will have another opportu- nifty to do so, the collection being spe- cially retained in the lecture hall an- nex at the Grand opera house this week. Everybody admired another new feat ure in the hall last night. It was a very beautiful reproduction of the Mar di Gras pageant as seen in New Or leans.

PALE, THIN AND EMAClATED
 PEOPLE.

The country is full of them. They do not know what it is to feel well like other folks. Medicines of all kinds have been tried without goodresults. Cod Liver Oil and the prepa- rations of Malt have all failed. What is the reason {? These emaciated people cannot digest starchy foods. The fat of the body is produced with bread, potatoes, and other starchy food. If they will eat food that is artificially digested they will grow fat, strong, plump and robust. They will com mence gaining flesh at once. This Flesh Forming Food is called PAsKoLA. You can buy it at any drug store.

KUcHENG INQUIRY.
China Requested to Allow Our Con-
sui to Attend the Hearing.


sui to Attend the Hearing.
Washington, Aug. 21.AConsnl General
Jernigan at Shanghai has informed the
state department by cable that the inves-
tigation by the Chinese authorities Of the
Kucheng massacre is being conducted
with closed doors. Acting Secretary Adee
has communicated this information in a
cablegram to Mr.. DENLY, United States
minister at PelSin, with instructions to
ascertain it's portent and, if true, to ar
range matters so that the United States
commissioner now at Kucheng. j. G.
Hixson, United States consul a Foo Chow,
can attend the hearing and not be ham
pered in getting all the facts.
The state department officials do not take
a serious view of the failure of Consul
Hixson to obtain admission to the hear
ing which the authorities are conducting,
and are certain that the general govern
ment at Pekin will set matters right. 1t Is
understood that the star chamber inquiry
is being made by officials of the province
in which Kucheng is situated and that
these are not aware of the promise of the
Tsung-Li-Yamen, or board of foreign af-
fairs, to allow Great Britain and the
United States to make the fullest and
freest investigation.
When Minister DENLY represents to the
Tsung- Lily amen that the American COM
missioner is being hampered in his effort
to obtain all necessary facts 1t is probable,
according to the view taken here, that or
ders will be issued directing the authori-
ties of the province to admit Mr.. Hixson to
the hearings and accord him every oppor-
tunity to ascertain all, that he has been
instructed to obtain by the Washington
government.

TREASURY GOLD RESERVE.
1t Has Now Reached the Lowest Fig
ure since March Last.


Washington, Aug 21.-The official figures
issued to-day show that the general treas
ury balance stands at SlSl. $50. This in
cludes s2.s76.27 disbursed on account of
bonds and interest this month, which will
not appear until the statement for August
appears on Sept. l. Deducting this, the
actual balance is found to be $l76, 15s, $50
This is the lowest figure reached since
last March, when the treasury began to
receive the proceeds of the sale of bonds
at that time
The balance of available funds in the
treasury is something less than $50, 900, goo,
and this is, necessarily, divided among the
several sub treasures and In designated
repositories. Thus far there has been no
necessity to transfer funds by telegraph
from one point to another in order to meet
heavy drafts, as was done before the last
bond issue, and treasury officials do not
believe that they will be compelled to
do so.
While 1t is true that receipts from GUS
toms dues are likely to be lighter for a
time than they have been, owing to the
fact that the heavy fall importations are
generally in, confidence is felt by the de-
partment officials that the revenues will
be sufficient to meet expenditures Ger
tainly this will be the case in their opinion
when the importations of spring goods
begin to arrive. in the near future. In the
meantime, the balance will be kept well
up to its present figure.

Chief Constructor Hiehborn reports to
Mr.. McAdoo that the six gunboats which
were designed with regard to service in
the shallow waters of Chinese rivers
could not be made ready for service I'M
der a year. 1t came out in the course of
the discussion, however, that Secretary
Whitney and Secretary Tracy had ac-
cepted vessels before the contractors had
completed every detail.
All vessels built by private contract are
subjected to a trial by the government to
ascertain whether they comply with all
requirements, and the contractors are
obliged to make them complete in every
feature before the test can take place. But
Mr.. Whitney and Mr.. Tracy hurried up
the work of preparing some of the new
vessels for sea by taking them from the
contractors when essentially completed,
but not wholly so, according to the con-
tract, weighing them properly for the
test, and then giving them trial, keep
ing back a small part of the contract price
TO cover the cost of painting and other
such minor necessities. Mr.. McAdoo list
ened to suggestions that this plan be
adopted in the present instance, but did
not indicate what he would do.
