a great deal is being promised for and
probably a great deal will be fulfilled in
the production of Die Puppenfee.' which
is TO be given by Baltimore society people
this afternoon at the Lafayette Square.
The pantomime was presented some weeks
ago in the Monumental City and called
forth a chorus OF press praise that should
be sufficient assurance OF its excellence.
One hundred and sixty people are employed
in the Offering. exclusive OF the twenty mu-
sicians who compose the special orchestra
carried. These ladies and gentlemen have
been adequately coached and are supposed
to offer one Of the most enjoyable enter
tainments imaginable.
Die Puppenfee" is the work of Joseph
Bayer a composer who has achieved con-
siderable prominence by this and other ef-
forts. Some twenty melodies are included
in the score and all of these are mentioned
for their simplicity and catchiness Silent
though it is. there is a great deal Of real
humor in the libretto which affords the
principals ample scope for clever imper
sonations. The entertainment takes place
today at /. and the receipts will be given
TO the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
TO Animals.

his life with his realistic portrayal OF an
old roue who likes 10 fit about young and
attractive women, viii return IN his Origi-

Since the last local rendering of this farce
a great many changes have been made for
the better. New music, newer specialtes.

TO have been added to the original pano-
rama of humorous incidents and situations.
The bulk of these fall to Hattie. the best

THINGS THEATHI1AL.

Very rarely indeed is comic opera
praised as unanimously as has been De
Kcven and Smiths production. The Three
Dragons which is being done this week
at the Lafayette Square Opera House. The
presenting company opened here on Mon
day night, as is customary, and was greet
ed most heartily. The papers of the fol-
lowing morning contained hardly a word
of censure for anything connected with the
entertainment. As matter of fact, moth
ing more delightful than The Three Dra-
goons'' has been heard here in some time.
Neither Mr.. De Koven nor Mr. Smith, re-
spectively the composer and the librettist
of the piece, pretends to have written a
grand opera, but for catchy music and
laughable lines one cannot do better this
week than to visit the Lafayette.

More Relief Experienced in One

Months Use of Old Remedies.

Did you ever before hear of dyspepsia
cure in which the manufacturers had
enough confidence to allow a free test TO
everyone before purchasing?
Did you ever before know Of dyspepsia
cure where the manufacturers refunded
the money in case it failed to cure? This
is the first time in the history of medicine
that it has ever been done, and all per-
sons afflicted should profit by the lesson
taught; for no matter what you read or
hear, it is q seIf-evident fact that the

have a confidence in their remedy that
others have not. CAN YOU AFFORD

AFTER n Is AL OVER
SiIer Says 1t Was the Greatest
Fight He Ever Saw.
SHARKEY Is DEAD SORE
Says He Was Robbed oft and
That Jeff Can't Fight.

New York, Nov. AFTER the Sharkey-
Jeffries bout was over last night the two
pugilists were taken to separate Turkish
bath establishments up town. With two
broken ribs and lame shoulder, Sharkey
was willing TO be assisted in his move
ments, and when ne and his attendants
reached their destination after long
ride. in a cab he was carried into the
bath house and rubbed down During
that operation he talked a little. saying
he would have put Jeffries out if he bod
not wrenched his shoulder in the eigh-
tenth round. 1T was like fighting with
one arm after that" he said. lie did not
know how the shoulder was wrenched.
Before coming over from Coney Island
Jeffries was driven 10 his headquarters
on Ocean boulevard, where he packed his
grip, after which ne rode in coupe over
to the borough of Manhattan. He re-
manned at the bathing rooms until noon,
when he set out for Philadelphia TO visit
relatives The champion seemed any
thing but pleased over the result of the
fight. He had expected a much easier
task. There is a big lump on his cheek
bone and a slight abrasion on the fore
head between the eyebrows. and the skin
Of his nose is badly lacera ted. His left
arm, which was strained while training,
is now almost useless. It bothered him
considerably during the last round of last
nights fight
Sharkey said to a reporter today that
he would during the day post a check for
$1,000 for another bout with Jeffries.
George Si1er. who acted as referee in
last nights bout, said today: "Sharkey
put up great fight, but he was outgen-
eraled by Jeffries, who fought clean
cut battle and outpointed Sharkey
throughout, with the exception of few
rounds. Sharkey at times was aggressive
and led often, but many of his blows
which may have appeared to land on JEFF
fries went wide Of the mark. Sharl1ey in
his desire town resorted to ques tionable
tactics. 1t was the grea test heavyweight
fight I have ever seen, and I think it will

Sharkey said: "Jefries didn't win that
fight. Giving the decision to him was the
rankest kind Of robbery, and Jeffries
was not the only man who was in on the
deal, either. 1t was the rankest kind OF
a steal. Why, that big stiff was laying
all over me half the time and fouling me
time and again. I asked him to break
away, and he wouldn't 1t was more like
wrestling than anything else"
':Jefries says you fouled him." said one
of those present.
Hes a liar" exclaimed Sharkey. II
never fouled him
What do you think of JeffrIes as
fighter, and how does he compare with
other men you have been up against?"
Hes a big kid. All he got is
strength. He doesn't know anything
about fighting at all. He hasn't got tie
least bit of science. He knows how 10

know He can't fight, and III bet he don't

WON BY THE RAIL WAY COMPANY
Suit by Fire Insurance Companies TO
Recover ElOsses Ssnfd

Washington, Nov. 6.-Justice Gray has
delivered an opinion in the United States
supreme court in the case of the Hart
ford Fire Insurance company and other
insurance companies versus the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad COM
pany. The action was brought originally
by the insurance companies to recover
loss paid on an elevator located on land
leased from the railroad company in the
state of Iowa, which had been destroy
ed by fire and upon which the insurance
loss had been paid 1t was alleged that
the destruction of the elevator was due
to the negligence of the railroad COM
pany and there was an effort to hold that
company responsible, Notwithstanding a
stipulation between the railroad company
and the owner of the elevator relieving
the railroad company from responsibility
from fires caused from sparks, even
though due to negItgsqGe of the railroad
company. This stipulation was attacked
but the decision of the circuit court Of
appeals held that the case was controlled
by local law and not by general CONNER
cial law and as the local laws of Iowa
sustained such agreements it is not the
province of the federal courts to inter-
fere with the practice. The supreme court
affirmed this opinion. thus sustaining the
contention of the railroad company.
