 We have more than twice told the reader of the fact that he or she may perhaps easily discover the cause of the daily i'll feeling and the experiment is not difficult to make.
 But there are readers who think truths are for some one else and not for themselves.
 Some day the oft told fact will flash upon us as applicable when the knowl- edge comes home, that day after day of inconvenience and perhaps Of suffer- ing has been endured, the cause not heinz recognized or believed, although We may have been told of the cause many times over but never believed it applied to us

 ANTHONY HOPE.
 Anthony Hope, reader and novelist, comes to the Hyperion next Monday evening. The New York Tribune says: "In these varied selections MT. Hope revealed the flexibility of his imagina- ton. Nothing could be more telling than the sad cadence of the chapter from "The Prisoner of Zenda," and the spontaneous humor of the sketches from The Dolly Dialogues At MT. McKelvey's request MT. Hope gave an extra from these dialogues, to the de- light of his hearers. At the close, the author was enthusiastically recalled" "

Grand Opera House. ALWAYS ON TIME' AT THE
 GRAND

One of the cleanest and most touch ing light dramas ever presented to a New Haven audience was shown on the stage at the Grand opera house yester- day for three days performance with Wednesday matinee. The plot is on conventional lines-a rich find of gold, a half craZed father, a glorious daugh- ter and the usual villain. The plot is we'll worked out and the conditions ad- tional drama has been interpreted on the Grand Opera House stage for years The audience was very appre- ciative, particularly during the rendi- tion of the specialties, of which there are quite a number and good ones, too. There was neat sprinkling of comedy by ladies and gentlemen, while the tragedy parts were acceptably taken. It is not necessary to outline the plot. Suffice it to say, there are a number of good actors in the cast, among them Miss Anna Little, w. R. Walters, Mac NJ. Barnes, Taylor Carroll, J. s. Stew art Daniel r. Mccoy, VIII. James, c. l Jay Smith. Minnie Wilson and Laura i Dacre St. James. The play is so well 1 presented and admirably staged that it should fill the Grand opera house from top to bottom.

Washington, Dec 20.-Secretary Alger
cabled William A Kjeltman, the chief
government reindeer herdsman, who is
now in Aalten, Norway. to inform the war
department Immediately how soon 600 REIN
deers could be shipped to this country.
These are wanted for use as draft ami
mails in getting supplies to the miners in
the Klondike region. 1t is expected that
they must be transferred at New York
to the railroads and in that manner car
ried across the continent and again by
sea from the Pacific coast up to Dyea or
such other point as may be selected for
the base of operations by the relief expe-
ditions.
Secretary Alger has determined, after
advising with the officials Of the war de-
partment and persons who have had much
experience in Arctic regions, to make large
use of condensed food preparations. Not
only will the meats be in the most con-
densed form, but particular efforts are be-
ing made to secure condensed preparations
of vegetables, such as potatoes and onions.

THE IDEA RlDICULED.
Report That German Fleet Would Menace Ha-
wall Creates Laughter.

Washington, Dec. 20-The assertions that
the German fleet under Prince Henry will
go to Samoa and Hawaii, thus creating
menacing situation for the United States,
are ridcued in all official quarters here.
When the reports were called to the atten-
tion of the German representatives they
laughed heartily at the idea of German
diversion against Samoa or Hawaii. Moth
ing of this kind has ever been considered.
The German feet will go to China via
the Suez canal, and its destination is Kiao
Chou bay. Germany, Great Britain and
the United States parties to tripar-
tite arrangement for the government of
Samoa, although the plan has not proved
satisfactory, there has been no recent fric-
ton and at time a condition which
would call for naval demonstration. Ger
many has taken no interest in the annexa-
tion of Hawaii to the United States, and
her only interests there are the 1,400 Ger
man citizens, who form considerable
part of the wealthy sugar planting COM

the noted bank burglar, whose record is
known to the police of all countries, was

Spike" Hennessey cracked safe on the

Resolution Protesting Agaist the Appointment
of the Colored Brother.

phatically opposing the appointment of
any negro to a federal office here were
today adopted unanimously by the Savan-
nah cotton exchange, and Savannah board
of trade, in a joint meeting The meet
ing was brought about by the fact of the
report that Col. j. II. -Deveaux, colored,
was likely to be appointed collector of the
port.
The resolutions protest against the ap-
pointment of any colored man to this office
or as postmaster, saying the war ended
thirty-two years ago, and any such ap-
pointment would only impair the harmony
and good feeling now existing between the
races.
Copies of the resolutions will be sent the
president, two senators from Georgia and
Hon. Rufe e. Lester, representative from
this district The city was also urged to
take similar action.
