GrandOpera House.

"UNDER THE POhAR STAR.
 The production Under the Polar Star" which will be seen at the Grand opera house this afternoon and the re- mainder of the week, is claimed to be the most costly and elaborate stage spectacle ever given in this country. The first act of the play shows the study of Silas Hamilton on Brooklyn Heights on the eve of the departure of his ship, the Polar Star" for the north. The aged man entrusts the command of the expedition to his brother, an able Arctic explorer, John Hamilton, who is assisted by the Hamiltons' two neph- ews, William Brandon and Harry Carle- ton. who are enlisted respectively as navigating officer and surgeon of the vessel. Both are in love with Hamil- tons ward, Helen Blaine, who unfor- tunately favors the suit of Brandon. In an altercation with the latter Silas Hamilton, in state of anger, falls into a fit of apoplexy, and in the hurry and confusion Brandon contrives to substi- ute poison for the medicine prescribed

ENIER1dI ENTS.
Hyperion Theater. ADA REHAN TONIGHT AT HYPE-
 RTON

HlOIN.
 Miss Ada Rehan will commence a three nights engagement at the Hype- rion tonight, when she will appear as Beatrice in Much Ado About Noth- ing" appearing on Friday evening in School for Scandal with Miss Rehan as Lady Teazle," and on Saturday matinee and night as "Viola" in the Twelfth Night" The Hartford Post says: Miss Ada Rehan is one of the best opponents of Shakespearean come dy living, and it is largely by her work that comparisons are made. She was perfectly at home in her part last even ing, and, while it is not so celebrated as some of her others, she aroused genu- inc enthusiasm, especially in her splen- did anger in the sene in the church with Benedict which brought forth double recall. It has been well said that to see Ada Rehan act, Is like taste of old wine to a connoisseur, and the sweet voice and saucy toss of the chin, which went so far toward her first suc- cess, are still in evidence, and aid her artistic and finished portrayal of part.
 Charles Richmond made splendid Benedict. He looked the part, and act 
 mannerism, so apt to creep into Shakes peare's characters, that his perform ance was delightful. He was especially strong in his challenge to Claudio, and in his monologue in the first act.
 Miss Nancy Mcintosh was very pretty and effective as Hero, and Mrs. Gilbert was welcomed as warmly as usual in her dainty and old-fashioned comedy. John Craig left something to be desired as Claudio; he did not give the part quite the necessary manliness and digni- ty it calls for.
 William Owen as Dogberry, and Ty- rome Power as Don Pedo, were both good, and Sydney Herbert made an ex- cellent Don John.
 MT. Daly Is noted for the mounting of his plays, and that of last evening proved no exception to the rule The audience was a large and brilliant one and made an attractive setting to the play.
 The sale of seats is now open. Prices matinee, $1.5O, S1.00, 75c. Evening, $2.00 $1.50.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid Increase of Heart
 Troubles.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For
 the Cause.


 the Cause.
 Heart troubles at least among Amer leans, are certainly increasing, and While this may be largely due to the eX- cltement and worry of American busl- ness life, it is more often the result or weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
 Real, organic heart disease is incura- ble; but not one case in hundred Of heart trouble is organic.
 The close relation between heart trou- ole and poor digestion is because both organs are controlled by branches of the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
 In another way also the heart is af- fected by that form of poor digestion which causes gas and fermentation from half digested food; there is feel ing of oppression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distend- ed stomach on the heart and lungs, in- terfering with their action; hence arises palpitation and short breath.
 Poor digestion also poisons the blood, makes it thin and watery, which irr1- tates and weakens the heart.
 The most sensible treatment for heart trouDles IS to improve the dlgeSuon ana to insure the prompt assimilation of food.
 This can best be done by the regular use after meals of some safe, pleasant and effectice digestive preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores and which contain valuable, harmless digestive el- ements in pleasant, convenient form It is safe to say that the regular, per sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets at meal time will cure any form of stomach trouble, except cancer of stomach. Full sized packages of the tablets sold by druggists at 50 cents.

OPENS HIS EYES.
A Practical Test to Discover How
 Coffee Affects One,

Probably no one thing will more pro- foundly startle a man than to find out by actual proof what coffee drinking is doing for him. When he realizes that day after day the physical machinery is not working right he naturally casts about for the cause in order to stop it before it goes too far.
 But to locate the cause is frequently beyond the power of himself and even his physician. If such cases can be in- duced to drop coffee and other narcotic drugs like tobacco, etc., for a short period and use Postum Cereal Food Coffee, the truth is brought home in un- nlistakable terms.
 The need of a pure cereal coffee for humanity was the active cause for the discovery of Postum. Plenty of Coffee Substitutes existed, but their unpala- table taste prevented their use.
 It required over a year of experiment. to discover how to select the proper narts of cereals and roast them in such a way as to give the taste of a mild and high grade Java coffee and yet pre- serve the entire purity and food value.
 Postum now has imitators that throw samples about, which claim to be pure "Cra1n, WIedl UT cereal CulleS, put careful test and investigation shows that every article of that sort which has any distinctive coffee flavor is sim ply cheap, low grade, adulterated cof- fee: a counterfeiter cares little what goes into customers stomach. The analysis of Postum is furnished the Pure Food Commissioners and Physi- cians of various states, and it is known to be absolutely pure and highly nutri- tive.
 Ten days use of the genuine Postum, properly boiled, fifteen minutes after boiling commences, tells surprising tales to partly sick men and women.
