ADJUSTMENTS.

The Golfers of the New Grand will
not be filed TO overlooking by the re-
ceipts of this half week, for Grimes
Cellar Door, seems to exist on its past
reputation rather than its present
merits. 1t is a rough and tumble sort
of affair. in which each actor seems
to have no particular part, but wanders
in and out of his own sweet will.
Mr.. James B. Mackie, the star
reached his apparent height of comedy
in a series of startling grimaces. and
the leading lady, Miss Louise Sanford
sang songs which were decidedly out
of place. The two introduced several
specialties in which they We're assisted
by the members of the company. Mr..
Charles, Boyd sang a number of senti-
mental ballads which pleased the
audience. The thread of the farce is
quite unintelligible. and the specialties
are introduced with the usual abrunt-
ness. A large number of articles, in
Guiding chairs. tables, etc, are con-
stantly thrown about during the course
of the performance and the actors
work hard keeping things in motion.
Grimes Cellar Door," will remain at
the Grand tonight and tomorrow night.

Newspaper Advances
A Quarter Of a cent.
Greatly Increased Cost OF
Publishers and Profits for
Trust.

New York, Sept 20.-Newspaper
has gone up a quarter of cent a
pound within the last three weeks
The newspaper Of new York city,
according to an official of the com
papy which supplies all but two of
the papers printed in this city, use
400 tons Of paper daily at a cost of
two cents pound The recent
sharp advance means $4,000 a day
more to the newspapers, or $780,
600 year over the price which has
heretofore obtained. The cost of
consumption is now $18,0u0 day.
>The tendency is to raise the price
still higher. The advance is due
partly to the drought Of last summer.
which seriously impaired the water
power Of the paper mills.
Book paper has also gone up q
quarter of cent pound, and letter
paper from three quarters of cent
to one cent pound.
The price of shoe leather has. gone
up from q to per cent. within the
last week owing to the scarcity Of
cowhide material. Snce msnufac-
turers have signed contracts with
wholesale and retail shoe houses
which will not expire for months to
come and so the patrons of reteil
houses will not feel the advance
until December. In the meantime
the manufacturers who have bound
themselves by contract will be the
sufferers from the rise in price a
shape advance has been made in the
price of crude sole leather For two
months the cost has been steadily
going up and yesterday it had ad
vanced six cents per pound above
the market price paid in August
Still higher pricesfare looked for by

The increased cost is due to scar
