 A. Y. Pearson's big scenic surprise, "The Police Patrol, comes to the Grand for three nights, commencing tonight. The play is filled with genuine interest, power, naturalness and pathos. The story on which the play is founded is briefly this: A benevolent old gentle man in helping nephew out of finan- cial difficulties gives check for $50, which the ungrateful young man raises to $350. The discovery of this causes coldness between the old man and his erring nephew, and the former for a worthy object holds the check over the nephew's head, hoping to compel him to take the path of honesty. But a burglary occurs at the millionaire s home. One of the burglars proves to be the nephew. Shots are exchanged and the millionaire dies in defense of his property. The play hinges on this murder, and in it's various acts illus trates the methods used by the police departments of the Chicago department of police in tracing out crime of this character. Realism is prominent throughout the entire production, add ing greatly to the powerful situations of the play. "Police Patrop matinee Saturday.

A competent drill master had the boys
in hand for some time, until they learned
the military tactics thoroughly. Since
then their own officers have been in charge
and all progressed splendidly. Last even
ing the public had chance to see the boys
and their fine work.
The hall was very attractively decorated
with bunting flags, ferns, guns, etc
From 6 until 8 O'Clock an excellent sup
per was served, the food being furnished
by the citizens.
Following supper came the exhibition

ability and greatly pleased the large au'
dience. The boys looked finely and were
delighted at the reception accorded them
The officers of Company A are manly

He spent his early manhood ON the wes-

But it is as an inventor that he has won

The old time visionary inventor has
given place to the practical, Woodworking
professional inventor of today.
The successful inventor must now be a
business man as well as man OF mechan-
ical ideas.
The high tension of the nervous system,
often kept up for months and months,
makes tremendous drafts on the health OF

OF all The countless recent useful in
ventions none has passed through so many
or so rapid a course of improv ements as
the typewriter. Today the latest per
fected machine is undoubtedly the Viii

amount of cumulative invention.

SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE
Will Undoubtedly Have Important Changes In
II at Next Session.

Washington, March 29.-It is quite likely
that the finance committee of the Senate
will be re- organized, and a new chairman
selected when that body again meets.
This reorganization, it is contended by
friends of Senator Morrill,. the ranking
Republican and former chairman, will
not be made in opposition to the wishes
of the Nestor of the Senate, who for so
many years served on that committee.
1t is said by senators who are in a posi-
ton to know, that Mr.. Morrill,, appreciat-
ing the onerous duties that will devolve
upon the chairman of the finance commit
tee during the next Congress, and his own
advancing years, Che is now So, is not
only willing to retire from the place he
has filled with so much credit, but has in
timated desire to do So Senator Sher-
man, once before chairman of this com
mittee, will probably be the successor of
Mr.. Morrill,.
Mr.. Morrill, will not leave the commit
tee altogether, but according to the present
programme, the total membership will be
increased by two, giving each party an
additional member. By this process the
Republicans will have two men to place
on the committee and the field has already
been canvassed for available candidates
The silver men will not be ignored in this,
and there appears to be desire to concil
late this portion of the party as much as
possible.
At first the silver men discussed the
ACCESSIBILITY of putting Mr.. Teller on the
committee, but he is on the committee on
Judiciary and appropriations, and de-
clined to consider the finance committee
as one of his billets. 1t appears to be
settled that the silver men will designate
Mr.. Cameron of Pennsylvania, as the
extra Republican to take the place Of the
Democrat who will retire.
Senator Platt of Connecticut will be
named as one of the two additional men,
bers, owing to the increase in member
ship. Senator Platt is acceptable to the
silver men, despite the fact that he is en-
tirely opposed to their way of viewing
things financial.

KEEPING A SHARP WATCH
Lest Arms May be Shipped to Cuba From
New York.

New York, March 29.-It was learned,
today, that the Spanish consul general
paid visit to Collector Kilbreth at the
custom house. two or three weeks ago,
and talked with him in regard to The
Cuban insurrection and the reports that
shipments of arms and munitions of wal
might be made from this port by Cuban
sympathizers.
AS result Surveyor Mcguire has beer
keeping close watch for any suspicious
vessels, the fitting out of which might
look like an organization of warlike ex'
pedition. Col. Phelps, head OF the law
division at the custom house, said. today
that the mere shipping of arms ON mer-
chant vessel. it had been decided by the
courts, was not violation of the law.
The fitting out of an armed vessel OF
force would be violation OF the law.
Collector Kilbreth would not say whether
anything had been discovered.
