Hyperion Theatcr.

| THE WILBUR OPERA COMPANY.
| The company is very little changed
from last year, but the productions are
in every way bigger and more complete.
Manager Wilbur has frightened up and
added to his already enormous assort-
ment of costumes, until now the unpar-
allied number of ITO trunks are used to
convey the monster wardrobe from
town to town. Each opera has it's own
separate costumes, and no dress is worn
in two different productions. The liv-
ing pictures, which were acknowledged
last year to be the finest on the road,
are produced now on scale of mag
nif1cence far in excess Of a year ago.
Manager Wilbur has at great expense
secured a new and superb lightning APP
paratus, by which the pictures are
made to appear even more realistic
than before, and the reliefs and postum
ings are brought out in manner hith-
erto deemed impossible 1T will also be

THIEVES ATTHE Y. M. O. A,
Members Clothes and Lockers Rifed
While Using The Gym Ntum.

| While Using the Gymmasium.
Many complaints have recently been
heard from members Of the Y. M G. A.
who use the gymnasium and baths, Of
petty thieving, of which they have been
the victims. Upon dressing after hay
ing used the gymnasium they have
missed money and other valuables from
their clothes; and if during the period
they were exercising, their lockers had
been left open, they would find upon
returning that something had been
taken.
On account of the many who were on
the floor and thronging the gymnasium
at the time no way of finding out who
the thieves were has been found and the
victims have been obliged to suffer in
silence. Complaints have been made to
the officers of the association, but the
only advice received is to leave the val
uables in safe keeping before going on
the floor
Yesterday another complaint was
heard from one of the members. Hav-
ing exercised on the floor for about half
an hour in the afternoon, with possibly
a dozen other members, upon returning
to his clothes he missed some change
which had been in his trousers pocket.
The matter was reported to the office,
with the aforesaid advice, and as no
one had seen the theft this was all that
was done No one not member of the
association is allowed in the gymnasium.
1t is becoming such common occur
renee, according to the members, that
steps will undoubtedly be taken in the
future to apprehend the thieves.

Hartford Wins From New Haven.
A crowded house witnessed the de-
feat of the New Haven team by Tom

ford at Bowling hall last night Very
little science was shown in playing the
game by either team. 1t was a contest
that was full of detentions and acct

ginning Whiting broke his skate and had
to retire and this seemed to prove an
omen of i'll luck for the Blues Mallory,
who was playing goal for New Haven

and had to retire for good, Lations taxi
ing his place. One of the cages gave
way next and hammer and nails had
to be brough into requisition in order to
keep it In its place. Shortly after this
Cusick got a flyer full in the face from
Bones stick, which laid him flat across
the cage. His injuries, Notwithstanding
the fact that the ball hit him fair in
the mouth, as it did Mallory, did not
prove to be so severe as that received
by the New Haven goal tender and he
was able to resume his position in a few
minutes. The defense work of Hartford
was exceedingly good and it was this
that undoubtedly won the game for the
visitors. Positions and score:

HOT WEATHER SERMON.
Ninety Per Cent. of Summer DiscOm-
fort Is Due Directly to Ones
Imagination.

A great deal of discomfort that comes
with hot weather is in reality imagip-
ary. We worry about the hot wave
and think about the burning temper
ature so much that we imagine it is
much more uncomfortable than it real
ly is.
To begin with, we should eat ac-
cording TO the weather. Cereal foods
and fruit for breakfast and vegetables
eggs and milk make good variey from
which summer foods may be selected.
The man who fills up on steak or roast
beef or meat of any kind is only build
ing a fire by which he himself is roast
ed. The drinking of ice water is an
other way to make the weather seem
hotter. Drink lemonade, if you will,
or root beer, or mildly acid drinks Of
any kind that are wholesome, but do
not drink ice water if you would be
comfortable while working in the sun,
and preserve good health.
When the weather is extremely hot
and you have become very warm from
work, about the best way to get cool
quickly and safely is 10 dip the hands
and arms half way to the elbow in q
pail of water fresh from the well. The
hands should not be held in the water
constantly, but dipped in and out, leav-
ing them in about half minute at
time. A delightful sense of GOODNESS
soon comes over the body and such
cool hand and wrist bath is very re-
freshing.
J The best way TO combat hot weather
Is to accept the fact that it is hot and
take it calmly. We must endure it
whether we worry or not, and if we
must be in the sunshine it will not cool
the air a bit to get into stew over the
heat. Daily baths, plenty of sleep,
not too much meat and little thinking
about how uncomfortable we may be
will help amazingly.-Farmers' Voice.

Thisunpeasant exception was a disgruntled-

tine gusty zephyrs. Of course, he got none
of the dust and cinders, for, these always
blow in the seat direcsy behind. Two nicely
dressed women occupied these unfortunate
quarters, and, after suffering martyrdom for
about 20 minutes, one Of them asked the
"open-window fiend' if he would mind put
ting the window down. mo-" he replied,
grufily. "It's too warm. If you don't like it
change your seat"
In front of the man sat travelling man,
who took in the situation at glance. Quick

er the flowing facial appendages of the man
behind began to perform most fearful Sc
ries of gyrations. The dust speckled them,
and the wind twisted them. Their owner,
after a few moments Of such violence, got
red in the face and then put his window
down. A few moments later he leaned over
and asked tho other passengers to shut off
the draught in. a similar manner, but, to the
nNense amusement and qualification Of the
balance Of the people in the car, who had
watched the little comedy all the way
through, the drummer, without so much as a

It is generally agreed that there is an
overproduction of most dairy products,
though this is less obvious now than it
was two or three years ago, when more
people were out of work and therefore
were forced to economize. We all the
time hear advice to increase production
of dairy products by improving breeds
of cows and feeding them better. But
unless the number of cows is reduced
this will make the price of dairy prod
ucts so low that the farmer will make
no more than before. The remedy
would seem to be that as better cows
were bred, two of the poorer cows
which often do not pay their way
should be turned off to the butcher.
That will lessen expenses and increase
the proft.--American Cultivator.

TRADE OF SANTIAGO
Shows Most Surprising Growth I'm
der the Administration Of the Ameri-
can Governor.


can Governor.
The trade of Santiago is already
showing a surprising growth under
American administration. Gen. Wood
has submitted report ts the war de.
partment in which he states that the
policy of on-discriminative inter
course extended to the vesgels of all
nations in Santiago progince has
greatly facilitated the re-establish-
ment of commercial relations, and has
been one of the chief features in the
restoration of comparative prosperity
in commerce, industry and agricul-
ture.
Outward cargoes of sugar and other
products are being gradually found
for shipping, but expectations from
the mines of the province have consti-
tuted the bulk of the exports. "The
fact" says Gen. Wood, that the mines
were put into operation at an early
date after the capitulation of Santiago
was important, in that the employ
ment of large numbers of natives dur
ing critical period was stimulated by
the facilities afforded for shipping
