BICYCLE ICE TRIP.

Dawson to skagvyay, Alaska, by BicyIe.
E. P. Leroy, a newspaper correspond
ent was the first one to make the trip
successfully from Dawson to Skagway,
$50 miles, over the ice on bicycle. He
was eight days on the waT and encoun
tered ons of the heaviest snowstorms of
the season. He comments on the untver-
sal fact that men in the Arctic climate
have scurvy and stomach trouble because
Of poorly cooked food.
He says when he first went to Alaska
he had good stomach, but it finally
gave out; ana one day in his search for
something that man without an appe-
tte GOULD eat, be came across some pack
ages OF Grape-Nuts food. He knew of the
food and it's value and was willing to pay
\ Of an ounce of gold dust (S4.OO) for
one package
He says, II can assure you the salts
faction Of getting something 1 could eat
and digest without suffering was we'll
worth the price. AS soon as it had prov
en- to be just what 1 wanted, I bought
the whole lot, and from that day to this,
0rape.Nuts food has constituted my chief
article of diet.
II find that Grape-Nuts is quickly
picked up as soon as a new lot comes to
camp There is nothing known that
gives the miner and frontiersman the
strength, with SO little volume, as Grape
Nuts food, and 1t is always ready for use,
being perfectly cooked, and can be eaten
Cry or with little cream, milk, or wat
er' hot or cold, just as man likes. L

ney on the Toe so well as Grape-Nuts.

UNDERWOOD SPRING.

1t is the tendency to call each succeed
ing entertainment the best and to enlarge
on the merits OF the particular attraction
that is holding the present attention of
the people. In writing of the Underwood
show this week, 1t cannot Ee too strongly
impressed on the public that this Is by
all odds the best attraction that has been
given in or around the city during the
present season. 1t is full of surprises
aud each act is first class Of it's kind. We
call attention to the work of the three
Renos, wonderful contortionists, and the
impersonations of Adolf Adams Besides
these Coogan and Bacon are really funny
and Miss Holmes is way above the aver
age singer. The other acts are also good
and the whole is worth going out there
to see. The music by the ZiIpha orchestra
deserves no end Of praise. This is the last
week of the vaudeville at Underwood and
there should be a rush to the park during
the closing days.

THE CHRISTIAN.
One OF the most touchingly effective
situations of 1.-The Christian occurs
just before the curtain falls when
Horatio Drake clasps the hands of Glory
Quayle and John Storm, and leaves them
reunited with tervent ''God bless you. -
The New York Herald'' pronounced
the Christian one Of the best plavs
produced in the States in many years
1t said; ''Its plot and circumstances be-
come melo-dramatic, but this is rare,
and even when it occurs one forgets the
means because of the result. Many of
the Incidents of the piece have neveraheen
surpassed for strength and purpose

from interest to sympathy and finally
to intense devotion upon a twist from

OF all concerned in what is undoubtedly
the greatest success of the entire theatri

A notable event in the theatrical world
was the first appearance OF Mr.. e. H.
Sothern on Monday evening at the Gar
den theatre, New York, in Hamlet.
The Times says: The Hamlet of Edward
ii. Sothern is a handsome and graceful
prince. More than any other portrayal
of Hamlet in recent years, 1t resembles
the Dane Of Edwin Booth in his prime
The Herald says; Mr.. Sotherns Hamlet
is, without smaller limits, thoroughly
rounded work of arU. Moreover it pos
sesses the possibilities OF growth. 1t. may
be developed into great Hamlet.
The sun says: Mr.. Sothern's perform
ance OF Hamlet was a good one. 10 play
the most complex of Shakespeare's charac-
ters with merit above medioority is a

worst was not failure, and his best was
positive success.
The Tribune says: Mr.. Sothern has

1t arduously. He makes a pleasing and
graceful figure in 1t and introduces sew
