Grnnd-NnudeXiIIe.

During the three weeks that have elapsed
since the firm of Burke & Chase assumed
control of the Grand there have been
shown better acts than any to be seen there
in the present bill, but never better pro-
gramme as enjoyable throughout as that
which was witnessed by two good-sized
audiences yesterday. The entertainment is
begun by Gilbert Girard, who gives
number of conventional sound limitations
with some degree of cleverness. Mile.
Kenwick follows and pleases with her real
istic rendering of real darky melodies,
and Mark Murphy tells some old jokes in
his inimitable fashion. Mr.. Murphy is a
clever comedian, and should form con-
nection with someone who could give him
new material at intervals. After this turn
is over Prof. Wormwood's dogs and monk
eys assist him in amusing the spectators,
and then Robert Downing thunders forth
the arena scene of THE Gladiator in his
well-known fashion. Eleanor Falk is a
perfect little artist, and made hit with
her vivacious rendering of three simple
ballads. Miss Falk can sing, and sing
we'll, so that her work is doubly enjoyable
Flo Irwin and Walter Hawley close the
performance with a badly-written sketch
entitled 1.-The Gay Miss CON- in which
Miss Irwin finds opportunity to introduce
several rag-time ditties. All this week,
with daily matinees.

HARVEY w. ROGERS WANTED.
Major Sylvester Receives Request
for Assistance,

Major Sylvester. Chief of Police. is in
receipt OF a communication signed Guy
Underwood, House of Representatives in
which a request is made for assistance in
locating one Harvey W. Rogers, who, it is
thought, may possibly be in the city In
the communication Mr.. Underwood says:
In the year 1876 Harvey W. Rogers left
Hamburg, y. Y. and started for the Cen
tennial Exposition in Philadelphia. He
had been railroad station agent up to
that time and owned a little property,
leaving some s4.100 on deposit in a local
bank. He never returned. although he has
been heard of indirectly at several times
since then. having been seen in Washing
ton as late as 1895. He was a peculiar
character in several ways. My legal cor
respondent describes him, among other
things, as being 'aimless and amiabIe.' He
had desire to see and hear things that
were beyond his capacity. 1t is said of
him that he would sit throughout a deeply
scientific lecture, no part of which he COM
pretended, paying apparently the closest
attention and go away delighted coming
BACK whenever the opportunity afforded
10 repeat the performance
If he is alive he is now close upon six
ty years of age. 1t is believed that he is
or has been in Washington since the be-
ginning OF the nineties. The same rea-
soners think that he might have fallen
INTO the hands of asylum authorities. or
mat your men, in the course of their du-
ties, may have met him or know some
thing of his whereabouts.

ton are unusually realistic and the action
is never allowed to lag for an instant.

BijOu-NRudeviIle.

There are no dull moments in the long
and well chosen bill offered to two crowd
ed houses yesterday at the Bijou. The list
of specialties includes the work of Barney
Pagan and Henrietta Byron, in a clever
comedy SKETCH Bernard Dyllyn, imitator;
Emma Carus and Adelaide Roatt,no, in
popular songs; Charles B. Nelson and Ma
mie Milledge, laugh provokers; Brannan
and Collins, parodists; Leslie and De For
est in a talking turn; Kappe, the juggler;

Thornton and Marsh, and the Bjou Bur-
lesque Company.

Academy-"on the wabash"

The Academy was filled last night with
enthusiastic people, and Joseph Arthur s
rural comedy, "On the Wabash" may be
said to have made hit with them. The
production, as whole, is fairly good,
though the merits of the individual actors
vary considerably.
The part Of Abe Early. farmer boy and
rising young politician. is played by Ed
win Mordant, who looks it to perfection.
He comes dangerously near turning pathos
into bathos in some of his emotional
scenes, although in others he is extremely
successful. The unconventionality of his
portrayal is it's strongest and best point.
Louise Waklee, as the heroine, Esther
Early, does what very few women can do.

asking for copy of the prescription will

Mr.. Wright says no one can appreciate
the horrors of lost manhood except he has
suffered them. No one can help such suf-
ferers unless he knows a cure and has him
self been restored to full manhood. Mr..
Wrights case was an extreme case. He

There is no question but what in his in

any man who believes himself to be weak

the part of the government that he

has acknowledged its fault.

Major Gantz, the Merry Little Midgit is

The Dalles people have curiosity at
present in the person of the smallest

Dayton, Washington. where he has
been visiting ''his big brother. "
Major Gantz is "a years OF age is Is

His head is almost as large as an or
dinary man while his body is very
small. He wears No. hat and No.

his sisters and brother were as large
as ordinary people, but the major has
failed to grow larger than a two year.

his visitors by singing songs and Civ

the Portland exposition where he will
be one of the leading attractions.
His quarters are next door to the
Roseleaf cigar store where he can
be seen on the payment of ten
cents admission. 1t is indeed a
remarkable thing to see so small a
man hale and hearty and as merry as
the day is long and that the little folks
will be delighted to interview him it
is unnecessary to state.

OUR RELATION WITH MEXICO

In the Dewey parade in Chicago
next month, when that city will cele-
brate the victory of this country over
Spain, President Diaz will ride in the
same carriage with President McKin
ley, he having accepted the invitation
of Chicago to .attend the celebration
and be the guest of the nation. This
event emphasizes the friendly rela-
tions that exist between the two gov
ernments, and that the ties of Mexico
are closer to this nation, that but nalf
a century ago was engaged in
vigorous war against it, than they are
to Spain its former ruler.
The Mexicans haye not forgotten
the war of lS46-4S, but they have long
since accepted the result, and no
longer hold a grudge against this ma.
ton for the part it acted. CONNER
cial interests of the two countries are
so closely allied that the people are
brought together in a business wa
that has healed all past animosities,
and relations are most cordial. In fact
they could not we'll be otherwise, for
the people of one country require the
trade of the other. and these needs are
growing continually, the commerce
between the two countries showing a
marked increase each year. The visit
of President Diaz to this country will
more closely cement the ties of friend
ship, and also bring the people of the
two republics into closer relations

Similar discoveries have been made in
relation o"other stars. but none so in
