Grand Opera Hnuse

Joe Flynn and his company of con- edians presented "McGinty the Sport" to a big audience last night at the Grand Opera house and the play went even better than it did on Monday eve ming. The large audience present came prepared to laugh and they certainly did so long and loud Joe Flynn as Dan McGinty, a promoter of athletic sports, was in his merriest mood and was a big factor in providing merri- ment. His parodies were a very big success and he responded to several deserved encores. Other contributors to the fund of amusement were Jerome and Bell, Charles Boyle and Carrie Graham, Miss Matte Nichols, Creago and Lortng, James w. Mac and John Fields as Willie, a boy who knows a thing or two, was indeed clever. The specialties are all of a high order and have the good point of being introduced at the proper time The Irish cake walk Is pretty finale and received a curtain call Taken as a whole it is the best show of the season. There will be the usual matinee this after noon.

After the first act Miss Jarbeau was called before the curtain and was the recipient of many floral offerings from her admirers
 The boxes were occupied by many New York managers, who were upanj- nous in their praise of both star and play.
 MT BunneH also stated that in conse- quence of the immense amount of seen cry carried by this company it would be impossible to have things in readi- ness to give a matinee to-day, so there will be no matinee. Parties who have purchased tickets for the matinee ner- formance can exchange their tickets for the evening performance or have their money refunded.

DEATH OF JAS. s. PARSONS
Ex.PRESTDENT OF CONTINENTAL
 LIFE INSURANCE co.

Passed Away Monday Afternoon at Hi
 Home in Windham Center-Death Re
 suited from Cancer of the Stomach.
 Windham, Sept. 14-James s. Par
 sons, ex-president of the Continenta Life Insurance company, is dead.
 The story of his return from exile
 was published a month ago. Severa
 indictments against him, dating iron the time of the wrecking of the com pany and his flight from Connecticut
 have remained in force, and there has
 been some talk of placing him under arrest. However, nothing further was heard of this proposition after it be- came known that his physical condition was critical and that he had but few days or weeks to live.
 MT, Parsons died about o'clock yes terday (Monday) afternoon at his old home in Windham Center, where he had been living since his return to Con- necticut on August g. His death re- suited from cancer of the stomach, with which he was quite seriously i'll when he came back. His age was sixty-one years.
 He was a son of Peter O. Parsons and was born in Buffalo, N. y. In his early boyhood his parents came to Windham Center. Before attaining his majority he became a clerk in the Windham bank, of which the late Sam uel Bingham was cashier In 1853, while young Parsons was holding this position, and sleeping in the bank, it was entered one stormy night by four burglars. Young Parsons was gagged and bound. The burglars secured ESQ., 600 and fled in the darkness. Parsons succeeded in freeing himself after short time and gave the alarm The burglars were captured the following day in Norwich, and all of the money was recovered except about $3,OO0.
 A few years later MT Parsons re- moved to Hartford to take his position of teller in the Aetna bank, organized as a state bank in 1857, and as a na- tional bank in 1865. He left the bank to go to Boston in the insurance busi- ness, and remained there until about 1873, when he came to Hartford as president Succeeding Samuel E. FL more) of the Continental Life (organ- ized in 1S6D, whose control had passed to a considerable extent into the hands of Windham county men and personal friends of MT. Parsons The wreck of the company in 1887 was followed by the flight of MT Parsons. Only 8 few intimate friends knew where he went. It has been stated that in recent years he had been engaged in the lumber business in Canada.
 MT. Parsons leaves widow, who was Miss Hannah Gray, daughter of Squire Gray of Windham. He also leaves a l son, Walter s. of Inglewood, N. J., and two daughters, Katherine, wife of the Rev. William Kelsey (formerly of and now Of Boston), and who is unmarried.
 The funeral will be held on Thursday at Windham Center, and will be nr;- vate. The hour had not been fixed to- day.

LIVER cLoeGlNG.
When your Stomach Clogs your Liver
 See to " our Digestion.

l ... see to ff our blSeSUlOn.
 Not one person in a thousand knows that the cause of biliousness is the ologglng of the liver by the piosons ot | Indigestion. Nor that the only proper cure for 1t is tonic to aid the stom- | ach. But modern medicine declares the truth of it. And the Shakers have prov- ed 1t by the wonderful success of their Shaker Digestive Cordial
 One of the most important uses of the liver it to arrest and destroy all poisons which try to find their way into the blood, When it's clogged, 1t can't do this.
 Undigested food ferments and putre- lies the stomach, and the poisons of putrefaction clog and paralyze the liv- CT, after which they find their way Into the blood,
 Here is the true explanation of all the distressing disorders and complica- tions caused by indigestion.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial is the only tonic cordial which aids the stomach in a natural way to digest its food. By this means 1t cures indigestion, restores the liver, and frees the body from poi son and disease.
 Headache, dizziness, neuralgia, men, tai depression, weakness, bad taste, fev- CT, natulence, constipation, loss of ap- petite, anaemia, rheumatism, and many other disorders are relieved and cured by Shaker Digestive Cordial.

A BOY WANTED.

One good show follows another at the Grand Opera house. Next Monday Tuesday and Wednesday Charles E.. Blaney's "A Boy Wanted" will be the attraction
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-11-24

The title of the new book which w. 7.
Stead of London, editor of the Review of
Reviews. proposes to publish next month
is "Satan's Invisible World Displayed or
Despairing Democracy" Some of the New
York papers-those which made the bit
terest fight against Tammany-have pub
lished some extracts from it. The book,
judged by the extracts, is written in the
sensational style of the book published by
the same author year or so ago entitled,
"If Christ Came to Chicago" That pub
LEGATION did not make much of an impress
sion because it was apparent that it was
sensational and unreliable. 1t gave some
of the darker pictures of the political and
social life of Chicago and left It to be in
ferred that the true Chicago was such a
city as these pictures represented 1t to be-
In this later volume the author rehashes
the testimony that was given before the
Lexow committee when Tammany's gov
eminent of New York city was on trial,
and concludes that the consolida-
ton of New York and Brooklyn under a
charter which takes away from the people
of those cities some of the privileges which
they have heretofore enjoyed is an admis-
sion that government by the people IS a
failure.
No doubt Mr.. Stead's book will have
some readers, but they will not advertise
1t, because they will find little that is new
in it, and they will quickly see that many
if not most, of his conclusions are based
upon ignorance and hasty differences and
hence are erroneous. The book may be
the talk of a day in New York, but it will
not be generally read there or elsewhere
