which is already favorably known here,
will be the New Years attraction at
the Hyperion on New Years Eve, Fri

evening, January l. There will be a
special holiday matinee Saturday. This
will be the farewell appearance of this
organization in America as they sail
for Europe January 5. The Boston
Herald says: I'm Town" is the title
of the very funny musical farce that
has held sway at the Hollis street the
alter for two weeks, but which, last
night, started on its third round, or
rather week, of pleasure, and is to
close a season Saturday that has been
a source of delight to managers and
patrons. The music clings to one, and
as for the quips, they stand the wear
and tear Of telling unlike many so
called funny things. Mr., Bradfield' S
fun is Irresistible. He is a born come
dian, and when he sings, it means en-
cores, for he is not one to recite only
when he should send out melody. The
collection of beauty, as represented by
the feminine portion of the troupe, and
headed by the demure Miss Marie Stud
home, with Miss Rosie Boote for a
startling contrast, presents types that
have been the admiration Of the young
men, who will hardly be consoled at the

INFORMAL RECEPTION,
Given by knights of st. Patrick to
Their Lady Friends.

Given by knights of ST. Patrick to
Their Lady Friends.
Charming indeed was the Informal re-
ception given last night by the knights
of st. Patrick in their club house, cor
ner Temple and Crown streets, to their
lady friends. The house is elegantly
adapted to affairs Of such nature. 1t
last night presented very inviting APP
pearance, being profusely decorated
with potted plants and palms. In the
rear parlor on the lower flood was sta
toned Miller's orchestra and they dis
coursed sweet music throughout the
evening. On the second floor the bill
lard room was transformed into a ban
quet room and corps of walters serv-
ed the guests with dainty refreshments.
These ladies nights" as affairs of this
kind are termed, are given about once
every two months and have proven en-
joyable in the extreme. There were
about $50 persons present last night
the majority of whom were ladies. A
season of social intercourse served to
pass the early hours of the evening.

Under the Dome" Lincoln ]. Car
ters new sensational comedy drama,
will be seen for the first time in this
city at the Grand opera house, where
it will commence a two days engage
ment this afternoon. 1t is a naval play,
the main incidents of which were sug-
gested by the attempted seizure of the
Samoan Islands by the German govern
ment in 1888 and 1889. One of the scenes
shows the passage at night of ferry
boat from Jersey City to New York.
When the boat first leaves the slip in
Jersey City the huge black outlines of
the buildings on the opposite shore and
their thousands Of dimly glowing lights
can just barely be seen. AS the boat
pushes out into the stream and comes
closer to the landing the outlines of the
buildings assume more and more def
mite shape and the lights Of the city
grow brighter and larger until the
clanking of the iron gates and the lock
wheel announce the arrival. The effect
is splendid. Another pretentious scenic
effect is the representation of that aW-
full calamity in the harbor at Apia, Sa-
moa, which cost the lives of 144 brave
seamen and which wrecked the Ameri-
can men-of-war Vandalia, Nipsic and
Trenton and the German Adler, Eber
and Olga.

oVERMAN WHEEL CO.'S FAILURE.


Makes an Assignment.
New York, Dec. Safeguarding. the
failure of the Overman Wheel company,
w. c, Overman, manager of the New
York agency, when asked to-day for the
direct cause OF the present difficulties
said:
"The assignment was directly due to
the need Of ready money to meet pres
ent obligations. Although we are able
to show a two-to-one difference in as
sets over liabilities, nevertheless they
are not available, as they are locked up
in our plant. During the prosperous
times, say up to the middle of 1896,
practically the bulk Of our profits was
expended in charging and improving
our plant, and in extending our bust
ness; so that now while the bricks,
mortar, machinery, etc, represents $780,
900 to live concern, it is unavailable
in actual cash in our present troubles.
We have large amount also locked up
in stock, in the process of manufacture
for our 1898 trade and that, too, for our
present needs is practically worth moth
ing. We did not carry over an excep-
tionally large stock of 1897 models,
and our assignment cannot be put down
to our own over production, although
the general over production that threw
so many cheap wheels on the market
hurt US, as it must have hurt other
| manufacturers
When asked what effect this assign
ment would have on the general mark
ct, he said:
"Our stock at present is not large
enough to overflow the market and eff
| feet the other high grade wheels, but if
| for the benefit of creditors it was
| thought advisable to finish up those al
| ready in process of manufacture, and
| to throw the whole output on the market
at low price, I am inclined to believe
that it would seriously affect the manu-
facutrers of ali high grade wheels. We
| do not believe, however, that any seri-
Gus results will follow our present sus-
| pension. Undoubtedly some arrange
| ment can be made with our creditors
| who are disposed to be friendly, by
which we shall be able to resume and
| fill to advantage our advance orders,
| that are much larger than last year,
| and alone represent some $250000. I
| am as yet uniformed as to just what
plans are under consideration. A meet
| ing of the creditors has been called at
| the office Of the company for Friday,
, December 81, and at that time the flu
ture policy of the company will be
| determined"
A. G. Spaulding & Co. originally con-
trolled the output of the Overman COM
pany but their business relations were
severed about five years ago, and since
then the Overman Wheel company es-
| tablished it's own agencies.

GRATIFYING RESULTS
INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS WITH
THE NEW STOMACH REMEDY.
Not Patent Medicine, But "a Safe Cure
| for All Forms of Indjpestion


for All Forms of Indigestion.
The results of recent investigation
have established beyond question, the
great value Of the new preparation for
indigestion and stomach troubles; 1t is
composed of the digestive acids, pepsin,
bismuth, Golden Seal and similar stom-
achics, prepared in the form Of 20 grain
lozenges, pleasant to the taste, conven-
lent to carry when travelling, harmless
to the most delicate stomach, and prob
ably the safest, most effectual cure yet
discovered for indigestion, sour stom-
ach, loss of appetite and flesh, nausea,
sick headaches, palpitatiOn of heart,
and the many symptoms arising from
imperfect digestion of food. They cure
because they cause the food to be
promptly and thoroughly digested be-
fore it has time to sour, ferment and
poison the blood and nervous system.
Over six thousand people in the state
of Michigan alone in 1894 were cured of
stomach troubles by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Full sized packages may be found at

MR.. f. B. SINISTER RECOVERING


Mr.. Franklin B. Shuster proprietor Of
the John Adj & Son factory on State
and Mill River streets is now conva
lescent. Mr. Shuster was taken i'll With
typhoid fever about eight weeks ago
and at one time his condition was very
critical. Two trained nurses were in at
tendance. -Four weeks ago he began to
mend, and it is now thought by his
physician, DR.. B. Austin Cheney, that
he will be able to get out doors in a
week or two Mr.. Shuster became over
worked owing to the rush of business at
his factory two months ago, which ne
cessitated his putting on a night force
as well as a day force and this, it Is
thought, predisposed him to the attack
of illness from which he has been suf-
fering.
