JACK AND THE BEANSTALK."
 The advance sale of seats for Klaw & Erlanger's great production, Jack and the Beanstalk," opened with rush yesterday morning and there was brisk sale for all the different perform ances throughout the day which pre- sages highly successful engagement. Application for seats should be made in good time to avoid disappointment. The strange adventures of Jack bring him into contact with about all the well known personages cradled in Mother Goose" and they are tied to- gether in this story most ingeniously. Jack himself is called Jack Hubbard, and he is the son of old Mother Hub bard, who through all these genera tions has been searching her cupboard to get the poor dog a bone. Jack is in love with Princess Mary, quite con- trary," who is the daughter of "Old King Cole" "a merry old soul,' who in this particular story is about as mild a hammered man as ever scuttled a ship. Jacks rival is the Marquis de Carabas, whose untold millions have won him the support of that merry old soul" Old King Cole "Sinbad, the sailor" is also introduced; in the play as Jacks running mate, and he even climbs the beanstalk with Jack. The Forty Thieves are the allies of the Giant Rusie, the lessee and proprietor of the famous harp and hen that laid the golden egg" Sinbad is in love with Little Miss Muffett, she ''who sat on a tuffet' Jack finds himself stacked up against hard game when he discovers that the Marquis de Carabas is his fav- ored rival In his extremity he sells his old COW, throwing in the pump by the way, to the captain of the Forty Thieves for hatful of beans.These he plants and in the old approved way the fairies make the beanstalk grow. Jack goes to the giants castle, catches the hen that manufactured the golden eggs and with wealth untold marries Mary and all goes happy as a wedding bell. Seat sale now open. Matinee prices same as evening.

TUGS FRUITLEsS SEARCH
For the Alleged Filibustering Expedi-

For the Alleged Filibustering Expedi-
 tion from Bridgeport.
 New London, Feb. 14-The tug on which the Bridgeport customs officials went out into the sound this morning in search of a filibustering expedition returned at Il o'clock this forenoon. The search was fruitless. The tug steamed about near the Race for sev- eral hours. Several vessels were seen and spoken, but none of them were f1lf- busters. The officials, 1t is expected, will return to Bridgeport this after- noon.
 Especial to the Hartford Times.)
 It was learned to-day that for six weeks or more two Spaniards have been in this city, probably in the capa- city of spies for the Madrid governs ment. The filibustering expeditions al- legged to leave Bridgeport have with- out exception left Saturday night or Sunday. The customs officers are not on duty Saturday nights or Sundays, and this would be the most favorable time for the departure of the expedi- tions,

FRENCH HYPNOTISM,
The Doctor Advises Patients Regarding
 the Use of Coffee.

In Paris one of the many interesting sights is the clinique of Dr. Berillon, on the Rue St. Andre des Arts, where hyp- notism is very largely employed in the cure of various diseases. Some of the the ordinary observer can comprehend nothing of the why and wherefore.
 It is noticeable, however, that the doctor instructs his patients to leave off coffee entirely" and to some who have had experience with the drug, that may account in part at least for the cures
 It is not generally understood, by professional people, how many cu- rious disorders have their rise in cof- fee drinking. Kidney troubles, consti- patton, heart disturbances, pains that are liable to attack any part, and a long list of bodily ails come from cof- fee, and the following is something of the pathological reason:
 Certain alkaloids in coffee are di- rectly poisonous to many human sys- tems; the heart is made to unnaturally increase its beats, the action of the di- gestive machinery is partially stopped, and a narcotic and poisonous effect is produced on the entire nervous sys- tenn. Some like the effect for a time, like a morphine eater, but if persisted in, even to the extent of one cup a day, a sure and unavoidable penalty is to pay.
 Some one or more of the vital organs are likely to become diseased and brok- en down, i'll health and the horrors of invalidism is the result. It is easy to say nonsense, when the truth is told | about one's favorite drug, but the hard facts of ill health come just the same | if we persist in misusing our bodies with unnatural food or drink. Coffee topers can readily shift to Postum Food | Coffee if they really care for the "ex- | quisite fun of being perfectly we'll,
 for Postum, when thoroughly boiled to extract the food value and delicious
 taste, is most charming beverage.

Grand Opera House.

"Chimmie Faddenn," as presented at the Grand opera house last evening, jumped at once into favor with the en- thusiastic audience who showed their appreciation in marked degree. It is a remarkably entertaining play, and has for it's hero one of those character istic types only to be found in the slum quarters of a big city. Despite the wretchedness and poverty of his bringing up and his evil surroundings, Chimmie is honest. He is witty, too, and philosophic. Towards women he is a ChevaIier Bayard. In the defense of the weak he is a perfect gladiator. His adventures begin in the Bowery. A glimpse is given of his life in the slums, and then Chimnie becomes one of the household of a Knickerbocker family, and later has further exper- fences at a summer house on Long
 Island sound. Comedy and drama are alternately introduced in the play, and it is entertaining from start to finish
 The first act pictures the Bowery, New

 pated in innumerable other episodic in | terests variously diverting. There is
 love in this play of "Chimmie Fadden," | it is declared, and there is also hate, | jealousy, revenge and all but tragedy. | The company presenting the play was
 particularly fitted to depict the many
 difficult characters and gave picture of life in New York exceptionally
 strong and vivid. Charles E. Groper-
 win as "Chimmie' was an ideal Bow
 cry boy, and his vernacular showed his careful study of the part. His songs and speoialties are clever, novel and well received. John R. Furlong as
 Moxie the detective, J. B. Cooper as Paul, Edward Mackay as Burton and
 Harry Rich as Van Courtland left
 nothing to be desired. Miss Maud AL
 len as Fanny and Miss Frances Brooke
 as the Duchess looked pretty and acted
 with grace and spirit. Miss Mary Don-
 ahue as Mrs. Murphy gave a capital
 sketch of an old Irishwoman and Miss
 Lestina made motherly Mrs. Fadden.

BASEBALL NEWS.
 The baseball squads have already commenced stopping grounders, slid ing bases, sprinting, batting and throw ing in the cage, and expect to be out all thirty candidates for battery posi- tions and these are practicing regular ly at allotted times during the week.
 Yale will as usual have no professional coach this year, but several former players who are in the professional schools of New York are expected to coach the team at intervals. H. M keator '97 assisted Captain Greenway in coaching the candidates Saturday afternoon. w. F. Carter '95 is expected this week. The following men of last years team are now in college: Hazen, second base; Camp, short stop; Wal lace, right field; Hecker, pitcher, and DeSaulles of the '96 university team. Harvard and Princeton both feel the loss of old players badly this year. Harvard's most serious loss is that of her battery, Paine and Scannel. Houghton is still in college and will undoubtedly fill first base again this spring although he may be called into the pitchers box, a position he played permanently before going to first base. Dean at second and Stevenson at third have both graduated, and Captain Rand and Burgess are the only out | fielders left. Of the possible battery | candidates among the upper class men
