JACK AND THE BEANsTALK AT
 THE HYPERION.
 After having been presented in all the large cities throughout the country and witnessed by crowded houses ev- anywhere Jack and the Beanstalk'' re- turned last night for short stay at the place of it's first presentation. The production is more complete than ever In detail than when 1t was first pre- sented here and the company is the same with but one or two exceptions; i; and these simply improved the presen- tation.
 This extravaganza is one of the best that has ever been given in this city, and not only the music but both com- pany and scenery are most excellent. Among the principal musical numbers that are worthy of special mention are the waltz song of Miss Leasing in the first act, the drinking song in the sec ond act and the solos of Miss Rollins in the last act. ''The Birth of the Fire fly most beautiful electrical effect, was accorded a most hearty applause. The ballet of the blackbirds is another of the many novelties that are intro- duced in the play. Of the cast much can be said in praise. In place of Donnelly and Girard of the original production Walter Allen and Harry Kelly appeared. MT. Allen has been seen here before many times, appearing in "The Wizard of the Nile" last sea- son. His work last night was, as usual, most excellent. Mir. Kelley is also a capital addition to the cast. In the place of Miss Marie Osborne, there is dainty and pleasing Miss Nellie Lynch, and last night she made a great hit, especially in the contortion speciality in the htird act. Mrs Snow was the same queen and was warmly welcomed. Miss Carrie Perkins as old Mother Mother Hubbard repeated her former success.
 H. M. Morse and Hubert Wilke were awarded much applause. Pretty Miss Maud Rollins shared the honors and applause with Miss Leasing. Her pleas ing way and excellent stage presence won the hearts of all the audience Miss Leasing plays the male role in such a very pleasing manner and she is only on the stage but a short time before she has the entire audience with her. Last night she repeated the suc- cess she madeh CT last season.
 Of the entire production nothing but praise can be given. In fact if it were possible for the piece to have been inn prove it has been done, for no better performance of Jack and the Bean stalk has ever been given in this city than that of last night. The piece at tracts both old and young and no one can afford to miss taking the children to see Mary Quite Contrary and Old Mother Hubbard and all the rest. There are but four remaining per formances. On Saturday there will be a special matinee for the benefit of the ladies and children. There has already been a large sale of tickets for all per formances, but there are still many good seats left. Don't miss "Jack'' fol

 You Prepared for Spring
If Not, Here is Some Very Necessary
 Information for You.

Nature will soon begin her annual struggle for freedom from winters icy imprisonment. Already beneath the frozen surface giant forces are moving in that direction. Purification is go- ing on.
 It is the same with the human sys- tenn. The lengthening days are ap- preaching when the blood seeks to re- cover from it's sluggish inactivity. It requires to be enriched with vitalizing and health giving qualities to give tone, vigor and health to the system.
 For this needed and beneficial serv- ice nothing is so powerful as Dr.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
 Now is the time when your nature calls for help. Don't mistake; no other remedy equals Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy as a spring medicine. No other remedy will so quickly and certainly strengthen your nerves, invigorate your blood and correct the action of all your organs.

TO IMPROVE THE HARBOR
(Continued from First Page.

(Continued from First Page.)
 barkentines, and sixteen barges, with a draft of from sixteen to twenty feet, and carrying from 700 to 2,1O0 tons each. Also to list of vessels which, although built at New Haven, have never been returned to New Haven loaded because our harbor is not of sufficient depth to permit their en- trance. We do not believe that you are willing that commerce should suffer from such disadvantages. But I will quote an authority which is far better than mine, namely, that of Major Smith s. Leach, corps of Engineers, U. s. Army, engineer In charge of the Long Island sound district.
 He says in his official report that "as there are no anchorage areas of greater depth than sixteen or seven- teen feet at low water, vessels drawing eighteen, nineteen and twenty feet, or over, must ground at each tide, until discharged, and can only be moved from anchorage to dock at a certain stage of the tide. Such restrictions do not appear to be those which commerce can be reasonably expected to endure, and it seems necessary to adopt a depth of channel at least equal, at mean low water, to the greatest draft of vessels not wholly exceptional"
 Major Leach also says: "In my opin- ion the harbor of New Haven, Conn.,, is worthy of improvement by the gen. eral government on the plans and to the extent set forth"
 This opinion Is endorsed by Colonel G. L. Gillespie, corps of engineers, U. S. army, division engineer, who says in his report, dated July 1, 1897, 'The large tonnage of the harbor and the great number of vesesls of all classes which resort to 1t, make the project a. reasonable one"
 On careful examination I find that the expenditures by the general gov- ernment in dredging and removing ob- structions in New Haven harbor are much less than those for other har- bors of which the commerce is inferior to that of New Haven.
 Take, for instance, the harbor of Providence. I learn from the reports of the United States engineers that "iAiC Ihe SoiiiileiCe oI NeW hdVen harbor is nearly double that of Provi- dence, the outlay in such improve
 ments has been only about one-half as
 much at New Haven as at Providence.
 In other words, in proportion to the | commerce of the two cities New Haven has had but about one-quarter as much
 as she should have had
 I do not in the least degree urge that I too much has been expended at Prov

missionary Association,s Finance.

CONCORD. N H., Sept. 29.-The follow
ing financial statement of the American
Missionary Association. whose fifty-seconu
anniversary is to be held here the last week
in October. has been received here from the
treasurer in New York, Mr.. H. w Hub
bard. The current receipts of the associa-
ton for the five years from 1867 to 1881
go. inclusive. were 81 1854 044 and from 1891 go
the last five years of $3O5O60. This decrease
in receipts caused burdensome debt and a
curtailment of n expenditures very Grip
ping TO the work in all its departments. A
cut in expenditures brought the debt down
70 $54,9f5, and during the year just closing
there has been a further cut in expendi-
tures which will reduce the present debt to
about $4,000.
