DOVER CASTLE ON FIRE,

A Large Part of the Historic Pile Burn
 ed-Al the Garrison Was Set at
 Work.
 Dover, England, Dec. 14.-A fire broke out in Dover castle to-day, burning the officers quarters and involving the main block. The whole garrison turned out to fight the flames, the powder magazine being threatened.
 The eastern part of the castle was completely burned out, and the flames spread to the western portion. Great efforts were made to save articles of historic and artistic value, which are numerous in that part of the castle. The fire was quenched at D. m.
 Dover castle is on the cliffs above Dover, and presents fine sight from the sea. It is more like fortress than any of the other defences in England. Julius Caesar is credited with building the foundations and part of the present fortress, although recent anti-quarians assert that it was built between the years A. D. 43 and 49, during the reign of Claudius.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theater. CHARLES FROHMAN'S NEWER


 CHARLES FROHMfAN's NEWER
 AGAIN'' COMPANY.
 Charles Frohman's Never Again" company, which comes to the Hyperion for three performances next Friday and Saturday nights and special popular matinee, is the same brilliant corps of players that recently made such bril- liant success at the Boston Museum and which fairly conquered the crit ics and public alike of that alleged se- date city. Never Again" was seen in New Haven long before it was given in the Hub" and here it's mirthful qual- ities were quickly appreciated; but on this return visit, Charles Frohman pays New Haven the compliment of sending cast which, since the tour of Charles Wynham in this country, has probably never been approached in single comedy production. Among the new corners are E. M. Holland, with out question the most polished and fin ished character actor in America George Marion, who as Katzenjammer, the "renoWned violincellist," and ego- tistical artist, has made the hit of very noted career; May Robson, of the Empire Theater Stock company, who has long held the first rank as the exponent of the typical mother-in-law; Blanche Burton, who was leading lady for the Hollands, and will be remem- bered as the beautiful juvenile lady" for the late Resina Vokes--and there are others such as Charles Eldredge, Joseph McKeever, both capital come dians. Then too, Grace Kimball, for so long the leading lady for E. H. Sothern, whom every one will recall as so dignifed and impressive as the Princess Flavia in Tine Prisoner of Zenda"-well! She plays the role of Katzenjammer's flirting wife, and will surprise all her friends by the utter dash and abandon of her performance Fritz Williams, the handsome and bril- liant actor; James Kearney in a clever assumption of the schoolmaster, and Anita ROthe, as the very executive school mistress-they with a number of others will return and will need no in- troductlon for welcome.
 Sale of seats now open. Evening: Regular prices. Good balcony seats re- served for 50 cents. Matinee, 25c, soc and 75c; no higher.
 ANTHONY HOPE
 Anthony Hope, the noted reader and novelist, will give readings from his works at the Hyperion on Monday eve ming next.
 The Boston Herald says: t4AH liter ary Boston went to the Vendome yes- terday afternoon, not only to meet The Prisoner of Zenda,' but the pris- oner of the New England Womans s Press association in the person of MT. Anthony Hope Hawkins. The prelim- mary reception at the hotel was a very brilliant society event. It is needless to say that the guest of honor won golden opinions by his frank, earnest and affable personality"
 Sale of seats opens Friday. Prices regular.
 There will be no performance at the Hyperion tonight or tomorrow night, which will enable the management to make improvements in all directions.

FRIEND MTsUNDERSrOOD,
Willing to Help When Ever Needed, but
 Unable to Until Properly Received.

q got tired of drinking Postum Food Coffee after trying it about days and went back to common coffee but my nervous feelings and heart palpitation returned, so that wouldn't do.
 q confess I hadn't taken a great fan cy to the taste of Postum and probably would never have tried it again had it not been for the discovery that it had never been served to me properly pre- pared.
 At a friends house 1 had Postum that was a revelation.
 Tt was clear and beautiful deep seal brown, almost black, and the taste crisp. piquant and elegant.
 Inquiry developed that my cook had been accustomed to placing the boiler on the stove and leaving it there 15 minutes, but the secret is to allow it to continue boiling full 15 minutes after it commences to boil. That makes it delicious and extracts the food value.
 "It is plain that I cannot use com mon coffee and I have no further desire to since Postum is understood"

THE CHEAT HUXLEY.
What Huxley, the Great English Scientist
 Considered the Best Start In Life.

The great English scientist, Huxley, said the best start in life is 0 sound stomach Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly because they lack the proper quantity of digestive acids Qac- tic and hydrochloric) and peptogenic products; the most sensible remedy in all cases of indigestion, is to take after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets because they supply in a pleasant, harmless form all the ele- ments that weak stomachs lack.
 The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure every form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach.
 They increase flesh, insure pure blood, strong nerves, a bright eye and clear complexion, because all these re- suit only from wholesome food well di- gested,

Tesla's New World.

A few hundred feet ir The air, just
above what is known as the mag
ne:ic distur bance of the earth's sur
face, the electric waves run in long,
straight lines. They are called the
Hertzia2 waves, after young Hertz
thoir discovercr. The waves are, in
fact, found everywhere in the air, but
up there they can be used without the
danger of local disturbance, and Mr..
Tesla has, by long series of sxperi-
meuts, learned to take hold of them
and flash light precisely as sun
beam is flashed from a mirror. He
has learned to thaow the electric en-
crgy of those waves into a battery
and turn distant machine connect
ed with this battery by wire. MIR.
Tesla has machine in his laboratory
that he calls an oscillator, that gem
crates these waves and projects them
into the atmosphere just as nature
does. With this oscillator he has
succeeded IN making every calcula
ton necessary to flash a message
without a wire to any part Of the
earth or to take the electric waves
generated by the great power of
Niagara and grind wheat in Argen-
tine, or run the trolley cars in sgd
ney. This is no longer speculation,
but science, and with time and Cap
ital such gigantic scale will be real
