ENT-ERT4INME E N1'S.
Hyperion Theater.

JoI1N bTtEW.
 Judging from the large advance sale of seats for the engagement of John
 Drew at the Hyperion on Thursday
 evening the house will be in blaze of
 glory to greet this favorite actor. John
 Drew was to have filled an engage
 ment in Bridgeport this week, but it
 was cancelled for another attraction.
 This will bring a large delegation from
 that city to witness the performance,
 as it is highly probable that MT. Drew
 will not appear in this section for some
 time to come after his appearance here
 One of the positive triumphs of the sea- son is "A Marriage of Convenience" which MT. Drew will present at his
 coming engagement here. In the role
 of the Comte de Candale, who does not make love to his beautiful wife until they have been married three days MT. Drew has light comedy part of the jaunty and dashing sort to which he is
 so eminently equal and which brings into agreeable distinction the easy and winning grace with which this actor always carries himself He accentu- ates in a delightful manner the polish ed wit of Sydney Grundy's dialogue,
 and altogether gives an impersonation of g. young French nobleman of cen tury and half ago that it is pleasure
 to listen to and to look upon. The play, too, is charming. Its scenery is pretty, it's costumes beautiful. The
 play had long run this season at the fashionable Empire theater, New York

This application was opposed by the selectfnen of North Haven, act ing through their attorney, E. P. Ar vine. Yesterday Judge Cleavelend rem dered judgment denying the applica- tion.

DEATH OF DK. y. L. DIBn1E.
Occurred on Thursday Last in Macon

Occurred on Thursday Last in Macon,
 Ga.
 News was received in this city yes- terday of the death in Macon, Ga, of Dr. Frederick l.. Dibble, who resided at 257 Church street, this city, and prac- ticed medicine here for forty years. pr. Dibble died on Thursday last at the home of his sister, Mrs. c. T. Ward, who has been living in Macon for some time. pr. and Mrs. Dibble left their home in New Haven last fall to spend the winter in the south, the doctor go- ing south for the benefit of his health, which had been rather poor for the past two years. He had spent the win ters in the south for several years. His health had failed steadily during the past winter. The remains will probably be brought to New Haven for interment.
 Dr. Dibble was a native of Connecti- cut, having been born in this state six ty-eight years ago. He was one of the five children of Horace B. Dibble. He leaves, besides his wife, two brothers and a sister, Charles F. Dibble, Horace B. Dibble and Mrs. c. r. Ward. Dr. Dibble had been practicing in New Ha- ven for several years when the War of the Rebellion broke out and he en- listed as surgeon in response to the call for ree-months' men. When this term of service expired he returned to New Haven and married a widow lady named Cooper. After his marriage he re-enlisted in a three-years' regiment, the Sixth Connecticut. He returned to New Haven at the close of the war and re-engaged in the practice of his pro- fession here. He had a large practice and was a successful and highly intel ligent physician. He was a cousin of Ezra B. Dibble, deputy collector of the New Haven custom house.
 pr. Dibble was forceful and piquant writer and many contributions from his pen on sanitary problems of the day appeared in the Journal and Courier He was a gentleman refined in speech and appearance, courteous and e1gag- ing in manner, upright, conscientious and valuable citizen. He had a large circle of friends, who regret sincerely his death.

INSTINCT.
Taste Is Frequently a Valuable Guide in
 Selecting Food,

A little childs taste is often a. relia- ble guide to palatable and desirable food, and it is worth ones while to ob- serve how the little folks take to Grape Nuts, the famous new food.
 They eat it freely without addition of sugar, for 1t has the peculiar mild but satisfying sweet of grape sugar, and the natural taste either of child or adult recognizes at once a food that will agree with and richly nourish the system.
 They are generally unable to explain why, but instinct seems to tell the un- erring truth when Grape-Nuts are tast- ed, and few days use will show strength and health as the result of food that not only has the delicious flavor, but is made of those parts of the food supply furnished by the Crea- tor that tend to easy absorption by the system.

In the Havana Blockade,
KEY WEST. FLA, Aug. 9. lSe

KEY WEST, FLA, Aug. 9, 1898.
We are at Key West, arriving here
Sunday morning from off Sagua la
Grande, Cuba. Since our arrival we
have been quite busy coaling ships
and making some necessary repairs
on different parts of the machinery,
but now we are ready to put to sea on
one hours notice. and are awaiting
orders from Washington. Before we
move we expect to lose our CommO-
dore Howell and his staff. It is said
that he will be transferred to the U.
S. S. Dolphin.
Our cruise at Provincetown, Mass,
is something that I will not speak of
in this letter, except that we were glad
when the orders came to report at Key
West at once. We left there on June
10Th. Our trip south was very pleas
ant one, as we had nice weather: but
the change of climate was felt quite
keenly, although not a man COM
plained except two or three in the fire
room and coal bunkers who played
out and were carried to the sick lay.
Another thing we noticed was the
| drinking water. We use nothing but
get any cooler than the temperature OF
the air, as that is all they have to
cool it with. so that got quite warm
| the farther we got south. But now we
| are used to it and do not notice it.
Wesarrived at Key West July 1st
and proceeded to coal up, then left on
the 7th for Havana. There we lay on
the blockade until the llth, when we
left for Bia de Nepe, stopping on the
way ~ Gebara and Nuevitas to in.
spect things around these places a
little. We arrived at Bia de Nepe on
the 5Ath. Soon the Topeka and the
Maple arrived. We staid there until
the 10th doing nothing, or at least
veryIlittle. We left the Topeka and
Maple there and went back to Key
West. Later we learned that they had
taken Nepe and we did not have BIT
of the fun at all.
We arrived at Key West July 18Th
and proceeded to coal up again. Or
the Goth a few of us were allowed tt
go ashore for three hours in the even
ing. Well, we made the best Of it by
having as good time and seeing al
much of the place as we could. Some
OF the boys broke the rules by coming
back5in an intoxicated condition ant
others overstaid their leave. They
were made 4th class and will not ge
ashore for four months. A 4th class
man cannot draw any money; 3rt
class, one-third months pay, 2nt

Minneapolis is making great pre-
parations for a week of festivities to
be given during the State Fair week,
which will be know as the "Festival
of Fire.. The most elaborate dis
plays of fire workssever burned in the
Northwest will be displayed, the street
parades will be elaborate and the Ex-
position building has been filed with
interesting things for entertainment OF
visitors. The grand illuminations and
pageants given by Minneapolis during
the fair week of past years have been
looked upon as an important part OF
the sights to see, and this year the
citizens of Minneapolis promise to out
do themselves. Pc:

fence. But they are rather easy on
recruits until they know the rules and
regulations.
You may think there is lots of fun
laying on a blockade, but there is not.
We were just far enough from land SO
that we could not see things plain and
of course wanted to get closer. We
did want to inspect Moro Castle with
our six-inch guns, but did not have
the pleasure. If it were not for the
principle and patriotic part of it there
would be very few men in the navy.
Life on a man O. war is not life but
mere existence, and every man looks
forward to the day when he gets his
big discharge and pay. Few come
back, but those who do, you can bank
on it that they will make the navy
their home for good. There are some
on this ship who are old and gray
and have been in the service since
they we're boys. One of the worst fea-
lures of the navy is that a man sell
dom or never has whole nights rest,
for you see each man has four hours
duty and the eight hours off night and
day, 365 days out of the year, and
during this war it has been more like
eight hours on and four off.
Well, they tell us that the war is
over. That leaves us without a shot
to tell about, for, as has been said
and written before, this ship for some
reason unknown to US has been KEEP,
in the background, thereby losing
even the chance to distinguish itself,
The men have felt it since the day
they were ordered to Provincetown,
Mass, on the coast patrol, and as
they have not had chance to fight
