ION the fifth day we came across q

the few men, instead of giving as the
water we asked for, hurried us off into
a small canoe until We were round o

wanted. These men were JakrIes, who
trade with the Benin men, and they
took us across to bigger Jakrie vii

"The Stowaway," a well known mel
odrama, was presented last night at the
Grand for three nights engagement.
This piece has been presented in this
city at intervals for the past six years,
and this production is in keeping with
those so successful on former occasions.
The principal scenes include the blow
ing open of real safe with the use of
genuine burglars TOOLS and the wildly
realistic representation Of the yacht
scene.
The supporting company includes a
number of well known people who have
been seen here many times. Miss Vel
erie Bergere had the principal comedy
role, and that she made great success
goes without saying, as her appearance
here in ION the Bowery" and in "On
the Mississippi has made for her a
well earned reputation. Miss Lizzie
Hunt and Miss Rila ONeil were well
received and earned merited applause
John F. Birch, who has played the part
Of "The Stowaway" over fifteen hum
dred times, is one Of the original mem
bers of the company, and last night he
repeated his former successes. L. r.
Willard earned much applause for his
excellent work as the villain. Others
deserving Of special mention are Jack
Farrell, Emmett Whitney, Milo Hall, Hi
Horton, Howard Lang and Arthur Ed
munds.
The piece will be repeated this and
tomorrow evenings, with matinee to-
morrow; matinee prices 10, Is and rs
cents.
Eight Bells" will be presented at the
Grand Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings. There is plenty of fun, trick
scenery, good music and clever special
ties in the performance. All the former
successes in the way Of trick effects
are retained and many new things add

a return engagement of Hoyt's enor-
nous success, "A Black Sheep" one of
his latest productions, which every
theater-goer will remember made such
a pronounced hit here last season, so
much so that standing room only sold
at a premium The production of "A
Black Sheep" is a sumptuous one. All
the scenery, of which there are three
scenes, has been especially painted by
the celebrated scenic artist, Mr.. Ar
thur Voegtlin The piece is farce
comedy, written in Koyt's best vein,
replete with witty and catchy music,
witty dialogue, ridiculously funny sit

lures that are distinctly new and of
novel nature The cast is the strong

headed by Mr. Otis Harlan, who as a

among the BEST and his admirers are

now DO YOU POLISH sILvERe
Do You Use Gritty Substances? OF Course
NOT

Nor.
Ask any housewife if she would pol
ish her silver with sand, or grit of any
kind. and she would laugh at the very
idea of it. And yet if you ask her If
she does not daily grind her teeth with
a gritty dentifrice she would have to
confess she didn't know.
The enamel of the teeth, when PR >
erly cared for, is beautiful in its
smoothness and polish. 1t is an armor,
nature having designed it as a protec-
tor of the sensitive parts of the teeth
To scratch and grind this beautiful en-
amel with the cheap, gritty tooth prep
arations made by men who know moth
ing about the teeth is almost sacri-
lege. Ask your dentist. He knows.
Years ago dentists filed away the en-
amel reckessly to get at decay. Now
they protect and save the enamel in
every way they can. Why don't you
aid your dentist in his care of your
teeth by using Pearlo-dento? This is
the ideal tooth paste, as smooth as you
imagine, effective as a polish (not
grinding), counteracting the accumula-
ton of tartar, and doing more than any
other dentifrice can do to prevent de-
cay.
After a woman has once used Pearlo-
dento she wouldn't go back to the
cheap stuff she used formerly for any,
thing. She would prefer to pay fifty
cents for Pearlo-dento and get in Pear
lo-dento what she likes and what bene-
fits her teeth and gums.

AGAINST METROPOLITAN LIFE.

Decision Just Rendered by Judge shum-

Fines and Jail Sentences for Assault
Other Cases.
Judge Milton A. Shumway has filed
his decision in the we'll known case of
Austin B, Fuller and wife VS.. the
Metropolitan Life Insurance company.
He finds for the defendant
The decision after announcing judg-
ment for the defendant is as follows:
For the information of counsel will
state that 1 find that the reserve divl-
dend plan, upon which the policies in
suit were issued, and which plan is
made a part of the contract of insur-
ance, is described in the policies. An
important part Of the plan for this case,
because of the controversy as to it's
meaning, is the agreement contained
in the first paragraph of the conditions
and agreements upon which the policies
We're written and accepted, to wit;
The said company will pay to the
designer of this policy at the expiration
of ten years its equitable proportion of
the reserve dividend fund in cash.
Il find that the defendant has in each
instance paid to the designers of the
policy its equitable proportion of the
reserve fund in cash. | further find
that the receipts given were, in each
case, intended to be, and are, dis
charges of the defendant from all liabi-
lily upon the policies to which they
refer.
II also find that the plaintiffs are not,
and neither of them is, the bona fide
holder of the chooses in action, which are
the subjects of this action. The latter
fact is found, however, a conclusion
from certain other facts, which include
the details of procuring and the pur-
pose of the claimed assignment, and all
surrounding circumstances, concerning
which there was but little If any con-
flict of testimony"
