Grand Oper1 House.

For a stirring melodrama "Cuba's Vow" which began a three days stand at the Grand last night easily carries away the palm for all the pieces that have been produced at the Grand opera house this season. In every scene ap- pears a reproduction of the gallant deeds and thrilling adventures which are daily occurring on the Pearl of the Antilles.
 Concerned in the scenes enacted are several American sailors and their characteristic American bravery and spirit infuses into the piece an element of interest that enthuses the audience, and holds the attention with the great est intensity. The situations are strik- ing throughout the piece, and every thing moves along with a rapidity that keeps the beholder in whirl of excite participation in the actual scenes of which these are reproductions.
 The piece opens with prologue showing the Hacienda of Antonio Varo- na, a Cuban, in Bahia Honda, Pinar del Rio province, Cuba. Cuba Verona, a daughter of Antonio Verona. returns to her home after an absence and finds her entire family murdered by Spanish troops at the instigation of the Spanish general. Vasquez.

Unless the woman is strong and healthy her work will cause her much distress and pair,. and she will suffer from headaches and backaches and side-aches and each evening will lind her utterly worn-out, sick and dis gusted with life. In this condition of mind and body she cannot be loving and ami able companion for her husband when he returns from his work weary too in body and mind.

DANBURY CITY ELECTION.

Democrats for the First Time in Many
 Years Carry the Day-Police Force to
 be Reorganized
 Danbury, March 29-The annual city election was held in this city to-day and resulted in a democratic victory. The democrats elected the whole city ticket and all the members of the council with the exception of one ward elected. The election was complete surprise, as it is the first time in many years that the democrats have been able to get control. The cause of the republican defeat is laid to the fact that the republicans did not come out to vote, being fully confident that the party would win, as usual, this time The change in the city government means complete reorganization of the police department, which has been the bone of much contention with the two parties here for years. The democrats have a plan to turn out all the present officials of the police department, and who are mainly republicans, and place democrats in their places. The city ticket elected is as follows: Mayor Charles Kerr; city clerk. Walter E. Olmstead; treasurer. Morris Meyer; auditor, NJ. B. Dunaway; sheriff. W. H Lynch. The democrats have elected four cOuncilmen and two aldermen.
 The license question was not voted

 London, March 29.-The April issue of the National Review contains a statement that it has received private information from Washington that President Mckinley intends to appoint bimetallic commissioners as extraordi- nary diplomatic agents in order to be able to officially negotiate with the heads of governments.

 For obvious reasons President Me Kinley does not care to have this fact generally known, as he fears the poli- ticians would clamor for the appoint mert of their supporters and he intends to select at least three, and possibly five men of the highest position

There were about so head of horses
burned and the loss will be between
$4,000 and $4,000. A general alarm

alarm, and the firemen made a great

The woman who suffers from weakness

woman can suffer in this way and be a
healthy, happy aniable wife and a compe-

the strength, rack the nerves, paint lines of
suffering upon the face, destroy the temper,
make the once bright eyes dull and the once
active brain sluggish, and transform a viva
cious woman into a weak, sickly, invalid.
This is all wrong. It is all unnecessary.
Dr.. Pierce's FavoTite Prescription is mar

II allays Inflammation, heals liberation,
