Hyperion T'henter.

| The production of Bronson Towards great drama of the late civil war | Shenandoah" which Jacob Lit vii present at the Hyperion on Saturday night, March 10., is the same whicf MT Lit used at the Broadway theater New York city last May, which was said at that time to be the handsomest production that had ever been giver on the stage of a New York theater The great feature of the Lit production is the battle scene which comes at the end of the thihd act. Tt is so real that it becomes actual. The Union troops are in full retreat, driven back by the Confederates; the day seems lost. Sud denly in the distance are heard shouts. Sheridan is coming is the cry, and in a moment defeat is changed into victory Squadron after squadron of cavalry and company after company of infantry dash across the stage, fol- lowed by the heavy artillery. It is a wonderful piece of stage mechanism and realistic to degree. The company includes over two hundred people. Seats now on sale. Prices $1, 75c, soc.

There is nothing more beautiful in literature than some of the speeches given to Miss Adams in her delightful role of Babbe and there is, it seems to be con- ceded, no one in the world who can ren- der them as Miss Adams does.

SERMON AT TRINITY CHURCH
BY REV. HENRY r. NICHOLS FORM
 ERLY RECTOR OFTHE CHURCH.
A Powerful Sermon Preached Under the Stress of Sad Bereavrment-He Had Just Received Announcement of the Death of Ills Father In Salem, Mass.

pr. Henry F. Nichols, formerly assist now rector of a church in Harlem, con cluded his visit here last night under sad circumstances. Yesterday afternoon he received word that his father, Charles F. Nichols, had just died in Sa- lem Mass. pr. Nichols left for Salem on the midnight train. Last night, however, he preached to a very large audience in Trinity church from Acts XIV, 19, "One Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive" He said in part:
 This the definition of the Roman pes simist. Festus Paul, Agrippa and Jesus, in whom these and all others found, and find, title to life, stood here together. Every type of man turns gratefully to Jesus. The scholar, laborer, poet, SOL dier and socialist worship Him gladly fram afar.
 And who is this Jesus? Renan, the French critic, drew Him gentle, gra- cious being-greater in gentleness than Jupiter in might The creed presents Him Gods only son, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, splen- did in all, sitting at the right hand of the Father.
 Neither the Jesus of art nor the Jesus of dogma shove us all His loving of gentle being-more than the best and sweetest He has been drawn or descrfb- ed
 Read the story anew. The gospels are not easy reading beneath the surface of comfortable tradition. But the real Jesus awaits and receives the tribute of the great, thinking, sorrowful world. Read Him and seek Him anew. Set the best day of your life against any day of Jesus life, and see your weakness. Set your life by that of the best man you know, and note the difference. Yet this man stands aghast when he thinks of Jesus life-and his.
 It is impossible to conceive or con struct an earthly charactep needing no rectification. Jesus never fails. His nearest need make no excuse for Him. He is not teacher. He is biography He maintains an even balance in His character. One man offsets his virtues by his accompanying infirmities. Jesus lifts His virtues till they run in pairs. The development of Jesus is an unfold ing. There is no repentance. His prime was as innocent as His childhood, His death as serene as His prime. Jesus is not of time. He touches history. He comes to human nature from on high. He owes nothing to His age, to His peo- pie. Yet His nature is kin to ours. My Father is your Father and my God your God"
 Jesus makes hope reality. The world can never be as if He had not come to it. Life can never be as if He had not shared 1t.
 We may not expound His person. He is not of us. Enough that sin has never touched Him.
 Jesus steps into the arena in every age. He claims somewhat at our hands ipleship-ourselves as the price of our working powers.
 In His presence we can only be earn est for wisdom, eager for service. 'Tru- ly this is the Son of God"

Judge Townsend of the United States court yesterday handed down decision in the case of the American Surety com pany of New York against the Worces- ter Cycle company of Middletown, Conn.
 The suit relates to a mortgage for $S5,000 held by an agent of the General Electric company against the cycle company, which was assigned to the American Surety company. The cycle company became insolvent afterwards and receiver was appointed and also a trustee. It appears that there arose conflict between the receiver and trust tee
 After a while the American Surety company brought suit of foreclosure on it's mortgage and the trustee opposed it. He said the mortgage related only to the realty of the estate, that the per- sonalty couldn't be held liable for the mortgage. The value of the personally was larger than that of the realty.
 This was the question tried in court and Judge Townsend decided that the whole of the property is liable for the mortgage and that a complete fore closure may be made. A decree of fore- closure in accordance with the opinion Is entered.
