with theyaudienoe in good style.
The second act consisted of an extrava-
Ranza, the subject being 1.-The Hotel De
Waldroff.' The whole company Was
seen in this funny piece. The star OF the
lot was Harry Brown, who hlled the

first performance OF the Phelan Stock
company, which Ia TO be at this theatre

nothing was left that one could criticize.
The scenery also was superb. In TACT
everything went of In highly satisfac-
tory manner and during the performance
there was much applause for the COM
pany.

ties between the acts. Brindamour. the
great magician, did some wonderful
feats. His sensational trunk mystery
aroused the greatest admiration Of the
large audience. The Lamont children
did a number of excellent turns, while
Mabelle Estelle, the soubrette. was heard
to advantage In many of the latest songs
and dances. Lester and K elicit showed
themselves to be very clever sketch
artists in up-to-dste travesties. An
other bright feature Of the evenings en-
tertainment was the work of the ladies'
concert orchestra which discoursed Sc
ieotions from the latest popular musical
successes.
At the matinee this afternoon the bill
lied Astray" will be presented and this
evening Held by the Enemy" will be
given.

DID NOT LEAVE HIS JOB.
Could Hold Down Any Amount OF
Work When Properly Fed.

A young man clerk in a large store In
Kansas City had curious experience
with food, as related to his health. He
SAYS: "About ten months ago dizziness
came upon me each morning, kept grow
ing worse, and headache would invaria-
bly, come on in the afternoon, and after
meals would have vomiting spells which
would leave me very weak; also there
was a burning sensation In the locality
of my heart, and many highs have not
slept wink.
"a physician whom consulted, told
me to give up my position at once and &c
to some watering place for my health,
for If / did not, 1t would only be a ques-
ton OF short time until death would
claim me. did not feel able to give NJ
my position, but my condition kept get
ting worse, and finally my skin turned &c
q sort of greenish color, appetite left, and
was thoroughly discouraged.
"Abouu this time our grocer, by mis-
take, sent up package Of Grape-Nuts
instead of some other goods ordered,
thought would try 1t. having no Idea
that it would in any way benefit my
health, but the first day after using the
food 1 noticed decided change in my
condition. My severe headache did not
appear as usual, and began to have an
appetite.
81 thought at first 1t was the effect of a
medicine Was taking, but one of the
family suggested that it might be Grape
Nuts, for Grape-Nuts had the reputation
of being a great nerve builder. In order
to he sure, 1 quit taking any medicine
whatever, but continued the use of Grape
Nuts.
ION the eighth day the dizziness entire
ly disappeared and the headaches were
very slight ] felt almost like new
man, and In three weeks after began
using the food was entirely well, and
am now In better health than l have ever
been. My own case proves the truth of
tine claim that Graps-Nuts food Is q great
vitalizer and brain food" VIM. ]. Woods,
iTl1 Holmes St, Kansas City, Mo.
People are gradually learning that
health depends on food, and the wiser
the selection of food. the more perfect
the condition Of health. Grape-Nuts food
Is the most scientifically made food In
existence. and is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant usa.

makes Republic great. and its people
I free, happy, and contented."
Mr., DnlxeiI speaks.
The next speaker was Mr.. Dalzell OF
Pennsylvania, the member of the Commit
tee or Ways and Means who prepared the
report OF the committee on the pending
bill. The treaty which made the Philip
pines and Porto Rico territory oil the
United States. he said was an accomplish
&c fact, and however much it were to be
wished that things were different by that
instrument we had come into new relations
Imposing new duties upon ourselves and
toward other people. Under that treaty
tie political condition of the residents OF
the islands was to be fixed by the Congress.
Under the Constitution Congress had power
to regulate and make laws for the terri
tory owned by the United States.
Mr.. Dalzell reviewed the legal decisions
relating TO the subject and the history OF
the Louisiana Purchase. holding that they
sustained the contention of the majority
that the term United States did not include
the States and the Territories. There was
more than the opinions of the statesmen
contemporaneous with the framing OF the
Constitution. said Mr.. Dslzell. after l1ot-
ing from them; there was the legislation
enacted by them. in connection with the
Louisiana Purchase-the Constitution VIII .ch
gave the President supreme and ahsoluts
control of the province. There was never.
he said, palmer declaration that the Con-
stitution does not apply TO the States and
Territories alike than that of the acts Of
Congress, and the President in this re-
gard, acts which subsequently received the
endorsement of the judiciary.
Mr.. Terry of Arkansas-Under your ccn-
tention, then, Congress could prescribe free
trade for Arizona and high tariff for New
Mexico?
Mr.. Dalzell-It certainly could have done
so. The gentleman must recognize the diff
ference between organized and unorganized
Territories.
In conclusion, having spoken ar horr and
half. Mr.. Dalzel said the bill was no.
matter Of sentiment. 1t provided a mea ms
whereby the people of the island could
maintain their own Government. He was
not willing, he said, that the la6orer and
farmer OF the United States should be
brought into competition with the savage.
poorly paid labor of the Philippines or of
Porto Rico. The people of the United
States, by Its House of Representatives,
would not do otherwise for the people Of
Porto Rico than it would for its own citi-
zens. give to each his full due OF liberty
under law.

gave the least assurance of the

were close states to be canyassed
