At the Academy.

Two enormously large audiences
greeted Chester De Vonde at the Acad-
emy of Music yesterday. In the after
noon a beautiful piece, entitled "Sins
and Sinners" was presented. The
scenery displayed was certainly mag
nificent, especially that used in the
third act. The play itself is melo-
drama, with plenty of action. though
void of any Inconsistencies which
usually exist in the average dramas
now before the public. Mr.. De Nonde
did some excellent work His acting
all through this play proves him an
actor of more than ordinary ability.
In the evening very sensational
military drama was produced, "The
Devils Advocate" The applause from
all sections of the house during the
action of the play was at times deaf
ening, and the gallery contingent We're
in their element and proved the fact
with many outbursts of enthusiasm
for Mr. De Vonde and many Kisses for
the villain.
This afternoon "A Night in New
York" is the play announced, and to-
night the big Chicago and New York
success ",rhe Ten-Ton Door," will be
produced in its entirety. "Dr. Jekyl
and Mr. Hyde" Friday night.

FIFTY TONS OF CANDY,
Have Been Sent to Our Soldiers in
the Philippine Islands by the
Goverf1 uent

Fifty tons of candy have been sent
to the soldiers in the Philippine Islands
by the commissary department OF the
army during the last three months and
large amounts TO the soldiers in cuba
and Puerto Rico.
This is done upon advice of the medi-
cal officers of the army, because it is
physiological fact that a. moderate
consumption of confectionery promotes
health and satisfies u natural craving
of the stomach.
Candy was never furnished to the
United States army before. although it
has been commonly used as a ration
by the French and British troops in
the tropics.
This explodes another old-fashioned
theory that sweets were injurious to
the digestive organs. while Il moder-
ate use OF sweets is actually beneficial.
Very few things are injurious and
the food cranks who advocate the Use
of few grains and vegetables and de-
cry the use of sweets and meats are
in error, as II wholesome variety of
meat and vegetable food is absolutely
necessary for the maintenance of the
highest condition of health.
The best rule to follow is to eat what
the appetite Graves and If there is any
discomfort or trouble in digesting meat
and sweets. the difficulty can be read
lily overcome by the regular use after
meals of some safe digestive composed
of pepsin and diastase which will as
sist the stomach by increasing the
flow of gastric juice and furnish the
natural peptone lacking in weak stom-
achs.
The best preparation of this kind is
probably Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
which may be found at all drug stores.
Years of use have demonstrated the
value and effectiveness of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of im-
paired digestion.

The theatrical profession at large. no less
than the playgong public, are looking forward
with considerable interest and curiosity to the
first appearance OF Henry Miller, under his
new managers, Messrs. Wagenhals and Kcmper
in Madeleine Rvlcy's play, "Rchard Savage"
With Mr. Millcr's personal ambition and the well
known enterprise of this firm. he is bound to
achieve distinction aud power as lie has al
ready achieved success. Those who have CLEANED
any inside information regarding the play of
Orchard Savage appear to be very enthusi-
astic, they say the title role is uniquely suited
to him temperamentllly and otherwise, and
predict for Mr.. Miller just such another success
as Richard Mansfield made many years ago III

Fields Minstrels.

AL. G.. Fields Big Minstrel company
will be the attraction at the Lyceum
Saturday afternoon and evening. The
Harrisburg Telegraph says of the
company.
"A unique and delightful perform
ance was given last night in the Acad-
emy of Music by the famous "Al. q.
Fields Greater Minstrels." 1t was
without doubt the best of that form
of entertainment heard in this city
in years.
THAT part of the performance scall-
ed the vaudeville meant flrst-rate ar
lists in clever work. There you will
find "The Great Pascater' in his
aerial exhibition, Keys and Mcdonald,
comic athletes, and bright musical
skit called "Jilted," presented by
Weston, Grave and Staats.
THAT inimtable artist, AL. G.. Field
himself. gives an excellent taste of
his quality, and humor is as bright
as ever. Equally enjoyable is the work
of Doc. Quigey, who also sets the
house in q roar. Throughout the fun
is of the heartiest and many of the
turns are irresistibly funny"

The great Casino success, "The
Rounders," was the Christmas attrac-
tion at the Lyceum, and it packed the
house to the doors at the perform
ances afternoon and evening. "The
Rounders" is one of the bright crea-
tions that are written periodically for
the Casino in New York, in which
mirth and melody are the ends aimed
at.
In "rhe Rounders' have appeared
at various times the cream of the Ca
sino talent, who have won fame both
in this country and in England. Among
them might be mentioned Phyllis Ran
kin. Mabelle Gilman, Marie George and
Dan Daley
Thomas G. Seabrooke has seen the
company reorganized Il dozen times,
but still sticks manfully to the role
of Maginnis Pasha, which he enacts
in his own unapproachable way. The
last organization was a week ago
when several members of the company
retired, one of them the queenly Irene
Perry, who was succeeded in the role
of Priscilla by Jeanette Lowrie, the
graceful young woman who appeared
in the role last night.
Miss Lowrie is bright. graceful and
what is equally important for Casino
star, shapely, but, regrettable TO say.
her voice is not her fortune. The
same comment would apply to other
members of the company.
Seabrooke Won many laughs and I'M
stinted applause for his work, and VIII
c. Vaudeville in the role of Duke De
Patty du Clam, created by Dan Daley,
did some very intelligent and pains
taking work. Other members of the
company who distinguish ed themselves
We're Bertha Walzinger, Nellie Lynch,

Jake Bernard.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by' local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by constitli-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an i'm
famed condition Of the mucous lining oil the
Eustachan Tube. When this tube is int'amed
you have rumbing sound or imperfect hearing.
and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will he destroyed forever: nine
cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh which is
nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
