ENIER7IIN IT E NI'S.
Hyperion Theater.

THE BRIDE-ELECT TONIGHT"
 John Philip Sousas new opera, 'The Bride-Elect," will be seen at the Hype- rion tonight, tomorrow and Thursday evenings. The action of "The Bride Elect" takes place on the Island of Capri, in the Bay of Naples, at one of those beautifully indefinite periods which dramatic license permits to the comic opera ibrettist. The story con- cerns the politics and love affairs of two petty potentates and permits of many surprises, both humorous and theatric.h
 Of course there is Sousa march in "The e-Elect," and it is one which everybody who has heard it says will sweep the country like melodic whirl- wind. This march is logically introduce ed at the conclusion of the second act, when the troops of one of these rival monarchs assault a ruined castle, the walls of which break away beneath the vigor of their onslaughts and the sol diers swarm quickly over the fallen walls, singing in unison to the stirring strains of their military band.
 The production of "The Bride-Elect'' is announced to be the most gorgeous thing of it's kind the American stage has witnessed. The company will con- prise eighty people and nearly forty thousand dollars will have been spent before the curtain rises tonight. In the company will be Nella Bergen, well known in this city, the leading singer in light opera; Albert Hart, the most orig inal and magnetic of the new comedi- ans; Christie Macdonald, an arch act ress and superb singer, and many oth- CT we'll known artists. Ben Teal has staged the production.
 Sale of seats now open for all the performances. Prices 50 cents, 75 cents $1 and $1.5O

ENCOUNTERED BIG SEAS.
Tramp Steamers Long and Tempestu-
 ous Voyage.

New York, Dec. 27.--The belated tramp steamer Llanthony Abbey, which left Dunkirk, France, November 27, ar rived here this morning after a most tempestuous passage of thirty days. Captain Townsend, on arrival at Quar- antine this morning, reported that the voyage was the severest he ever exoe- rienced. The crew were well in spite of the hardships endured. About three tons of coal was left in the bunkers, and the supply Of provisions proved just sufficient to last.
 The weather consisted of succession of terrific westerly gales with tremend- ous seas. For several days the vessel made no progress, battling with enor- nous seas, and for many days she log ged less than one hundred miles per day, her best days run being 215 miles. On Christmas eve the steamer ran into a fierce blizzard; the wind blew with great fury, accompanied by heavy squalls and high seas ending in a fu- rious snow storm. Strange to relate, she managed to escape any serious damage.

Grand Opera House.

1.-THE WHITE SLAVE.'
 ''The White Slave" was presented at the Grand opera house last night be- fore good sized audience, who ap- plauded its many thrilling scenes to the echo. It is many years since the play was first produced, but the reception it received is evidence that it has not lost any of it's popularity. The scenes are laid in the south before the war and the story is that of a young girl, Lisa. who, being the illegitimate daughter of wealthy family, has been educated to believe that she is the child of a quad room, and by the foreclosure of a mort gage on the estate falls into the hands of Bill Lacy, who wishes to make her his mistress. She is rescued by the hero, and together they make their, es- cape on board Mississippi steamboat which takes fire and they are seen float ing on a spar during rain storm of real water. The mystery of her birth is discovered at last and all ends hap oily. Ruth Macauley sustained the diff ficult role of Lisa in an able manner. J. K. Hutchinson was a manly Clay Britton, while Frank Drew and Harriet Saphore kept the audience in a roar by their clever comedy work.
 There will be a matinee to-day, and to-night's performance will end the en- gagement.
 UNDER THE DOME"
 The first of Lincoln J. Carter's new order of plays, Under the Dome," a pretty comedy drama which comes to the Grand opera house for two days, commencing with matinee tomorrow, is already an immense success. It will be followed shortly by the production of a big spectacular extravaganza by Garter and a musical comedy by a French author.
 AN EXCELLENT ATTRACTION FOR
 NEW YEARS.
 Commencing with Friday matinee, and continuing the balance of the week, Kate ClaXton in "The Two Orphans will be the attraction offered by the management of the Grand opera house. There will be the usual matinee Satur- day, New Years day. Advance sale of seats now open.

LOWER RATE OF INTEREST.
New York Savings Banks Favor Three
 0pa

and One-Half Per Cent.
 New York, Dec. 27.--With the an- nouncement of the dividends to be paid next month, among the various savings banks there is general tendency to pay a lower rate of interest than heretofore. A few days ago practically all the older banks were paying inter- est at per cent. per annum, but grad ually this has been changed, so that next year the rate of interest in many instances will be 31a per cent. Presi- dent McMann of the Emigrant Indus- trial Savings bank said to-day:
 "Conditions are such now that the various banks are not earning as much as few years ago and consequently it is impracticable to pay a rate of in- terest that would perhaps tend to re- duce the surplus. The tendency is even toward a lower rate, say per cent, not this year or even next perhaps, but eventually. Most of the 6 per cent, government bonds have matured and but a few years can elapse before they are all redeemed. While banks held these bonds it was possible to pay i per cent, but now in taking care of our new business it is not possible for a bank to earn more than 3% per cent. on its capital. Real estate cannot be counted on too strongly and to-day we cannot get in some instances more than A per cent. on the very best bond and mortgage"
 President Rhoades of the Greenwich Savings bank said there was a general feeling, especially up the state that un- der present conditions of investment and returns per cent. was too high a rate and undoubtedly they would wei come any general movement to reduce the rate.
 MT. Rhoades thought that ultimately all savings banks would reduce their rates to 31a and possibly to 3 per cent.

LII. NlcOlt, WHO came TO this country
with Mr.. Barrie, read the American
newspapers while he was here and au-
daciously admits that lie liked them.
lie has confessed to Tho Westminster
Budget that i'll his opinion no American
institution is more misunderstood abroad
than the press. He thinks our neyysp.-
pers less sensational than they seem to
be and says, very truly, that you may
look i'll vain in them fer such matter as
the divorce reports which the most prop
er English papers publish. Undoubted-
ly we Americans like the newspapers
we have better, OH tho whole, than CIV
others i'll tire market, but we are SO con-
tinually advised that our passion for
them is guilty, that while we satisfy it
with prodigality we seldom attempt tc
justify OF even to excuse it, 80 that to
hear our Journals praised by q visitor
excites emotions Of considerable novel;
ty. After all, Il liking for newspapers
is, like q liking for ones fellow crea-
lures, apt to concentrate itself on indi-
viduals. If DIR. Nicoll had been impoli-
tic enough to say which American pa
pers he liked, his comments would have
gained in interest all that they lost III

spiders and Their WAYS.

We find as marked differences i'll l,ab.
its, tastes and characters among spiders
as among human beings. Some kinds
prefer always living in houses or cell
lars, not seeming to care for any fresh
air or out Of door exercise. Mr.. jesse
tells of two spiders that lived for 10
years in opposite orner of a drawer
which was used for soap and candles.
Others delight i'll making burrows in
the earth, il dwelling under stones or
behind the loose bark on trees, and 9TH
ers live under water. Many never leave
their webs, but patiently wait, hoping
some insect will become ~entanglcd in
the SHARES they have set. Others dash
about and seize upon every luckless i'll
sect that crosses their path. The most
adventurous of all are those that sail
out into the world on one of their own
little threads.
In the bright autumn weather, if we
observe closely, we may sometimes see
some of u own small spiders ascend
to the tops of trees, fences and other
high objects, rise OIL their toes, turn the
spinners upward, throw out a quantity
of silk and sail away. They grasp the
silken thread with their feet and seem
to be enjoying themselves as much as
the birds and butterflies. Margaret W.
Leighton in Popular Science Monthly.
