Grand Onern House.

There was another packed house at the Grand opera house last night, and the standing room only" sign was again displayed at 7:45 p, m. The i'm mense audiences that have witnessed the famous Hanlon Brothers unique mechanical and pantomimic spectacle, "Superba," testify to the appreciation by theatergoers of MT. BunnelPs ef- forts to secure the very best attrac- tions for his patrons, and present them at popular prices. The production this year has many new and startling nov cities. The ballet soldiers and vivan dleres, and the La Dance des CheVauN and gossamer dance and the grand Spanish ballet are all well executed by the corps de ballet. The magic mirror deceives many when they first see it, and it is only when the deception is ex- posed that they see how they have been deceived. The augmented orchestra is well up to its work, and the musical parts are well given. Fred Guilford's piccolo solo was we'll rewarded, as it should be- with unstinted applause.
 There will be a matinee to-day at WHICH ulSHl pIlCtS Wlli be SGu, iAlS immense expense of the producing rem dering 1t necessary to do so. The per formance will be repeated in the even- ing, and those who have not seen this splendid production should avail them selves of these two last opportunities to see it at popular prices at the ever popular Grand opera house.
 "A GAY OLD BOY"
 Jolly Joseph Hart. the ex-partner of Fred Hallen, will be the attraction at the Grand opera house to-morrow, Fri day and Saturday, with Saturday mat inee, with his new piece, "A Gay Old Boy" MT.

The Services Attended by Large Con-
 course of Friends and Relatives.
 The funeral services of Dr. Leonard J. Sanford, who died at his residence on Crown street early Saturday morning, was held yesterday afternoon in Gen. ter church, the Rev. Newman Smyth, pastor of the church, officiating. The vast audience filling every seat in the church bore witness to the esteem and respect held for the deceased by those who had known him during his long career as their physician. friend and associate In matters pertaining to the work of the church, to which he be- longed since his youth. In the au- dience were men in every walk of life, members of families which had re- ceived the attention of the deceased professionally and as counsellor and adviser.
 pr. Smyth echoed the sentiments of the vast audience in his eulogistic re- marks concerning Dr. Sanford. The pastor who had known him intimately spoke of him as man. The closing days of the deceased's life were dwelt upon at length, showing his interest in the welfare of humanity. It was only 8 short time before Dr. Sanford died that he spoke to the preacher on the value of doing good to those around him.
 Whether looking toward the shore of time or beyond the bar into the great beyond, Dr. Sanford was bright and cheerful The sunset of Dr. Sanford's s life" continued Dr. Smyth, was that of man who had devoted his time and his talents to the cause of humanity.
 "One of the favorite themes of Dr. Sanford was the United States as a field for doing good. This is the best country on the globe, and nowhere has a young man so wide @ field for doing good Dr. Sanford had been heard to say many times, one of which was to his pastor only a few weeks ago.
 There are times" said Dr. Smyth when the specialists might be called in, but he will never take the place oc- cupied by the family physician, the healer, the counsellor, the friend"
 During the impressive remarks of the pastor the vast audience listened with interest. At the close of the prayer of- fered by Dr. Smyth, the church quartet sang Lead Kindly Light" The re- mains were then borne from the church, where they had rested, sur- rounded by the floral offerings of friends
 The pallbearers were F. S. Bradley, A. E. Rowland, x-Governor Henry B. Harrison, Drs Francis Bacon, Walter r Carmalt, c. A. Lindsley.
 The New Haven Medical association attended the funeral in body, meet ing at the house of Dr. Beckwith, 139 Church street.

intention of leaving Hawaii April Is.
Many people are of the opinion that the
American Legation will be closed for the
remainder OF President Cleyeiand's term
in order to get even with the Dole regime
for criticislng the action OF Minister Willis
IN refusing TO acknow edge the January
celebration. Willis departure is looked
upon as The only resource left, as he has
been a persona non grata from the mo-
ment OF his arrival. There has been more
OF less talk OF the possibility of the IIa-
waiian Government giving Minister Will
lis his passports, and 1t is fair TO surmise
that Willis leaving prevents such ii on
