ENTERT4INMENTS
Hyperion Theater,

THE Village Postmaster" one of the

perion tonight. The original produce
ton, company, etc, will be seen here

nection with "The Old Homestead" and
Shore Acres" Miss Angela Russell,
who most successfully created the
charming character of Miranda, the
postmaster's daughter, has been spe-
cially engaged for the production this
season. A delightful characteristic of
1.-The Village Postmaster" is the quaint
costumes of fifty years ago and the
beautiful stage pictures true to life and
nature in every detail. The scenes of
THE Village Blacksmith are laid in
quiet New Hampshire town in 1852. The
characters are those which can be found
in any New England town to-day. Seats

tour in THE Greatest Thing in the
World established herself firmly in the
favor of local theater-goers Mrs Lee
Moyne came here a comparative stran-
ger, but during her brief stay she prov
ed to all who saw her that she is an
actress of exceptional powers, ranging
from the lightest and brightest of COM
edy to the intensest of emotional dra-
ma Her role in this play runs the
gamut of the emotions, and as the ex-
emplar of the ideal mother she appeals
Irresistible to all. 1.-THE Greatest Thing
In the World" Is a good, strong, clean
American domestic drama and should
be well attended when Mrs. LeMoyne

SUDDEN DEATH OF DIR. SCHELD
Congress Avenue Dentist Seized With

Congress Avenue Dentist Seized With
Heart Failure While Extracting a
Tooth
DR.. william Scheld, dentist who re-
sided at No so Congress avenue, died
suddenly of heart failure last evening,
having been seized with the attack
while extracting tooth for patient.
DIR. Scheld had just extracted the tooth,
when he was overcome. DR.. Gerson
Strauss and Dr. Skiff were summoned,
but despite all their efforts DR. Scheld
died in about half an hour.
DIR. Scheld had a bad fall during the
summer. He was riding a wheel on
Congress avenue, when hSecollided with
trolley car and was quite severely
injured. He was taken to the hospital
at that time and recovered sufficiently
to resume the practice of his profess
sion. He had not complained of feeling
i'll during the day yesterday and his
family supposed he was in his ordinary
good health. The sudden death came
as a great shock to them. He was
about fifty-eight years of age and leaves
besides his wife three children, son,
William Scheld jr, also a dentist, prac-
ticing with his father, and two mar
ried daughters, one of whom lives in
New York.

THE BOW WOW CURE FOR RHEU
MATISM

"There is prevalent belief through
out all Spanish-speaking America" said
visitor from Vera Cruz, that the
small, hairless dog, Familiarity known
as the 'pelon' dog, can cure rheuma-
tism. In Cuba, Central America and
Mexico it is a common thing for peo-
pie afflicted with that disease to keep
one or more of the animals In bed, the
theory being that the malady passes
from the man to the dog, Some years
ago ] was in Havana, and called on a
wealthy merchant of my acquaintance
who was laid up at his residence with
a severe attack Of rheumatic govt. I
found him extended on a sofa. his low
err limbs covered by blanket, and as
I sat down, I noticed a peculiar looking
lump in the vicinity of his feet. Seve-
raj times, while we were talking, ! saw
or thought / saw, the lump move, and,
needless to say, I was considerably
startled; although, in Difference to
Spanish etiquette, I endeavored to con-
ceal any indications of surprise. My
preoccupation must have been EVIL
dent, however, for presently the sick
man turned down the blanket, and,
lCOhllfB Idlllcl iuOlpoll, llduleu ouL d
couple of pelon puppies. Tt Is my
wife's idea,' he said, and I keep them
with me to please her: but, really, they
are doing me good. I couldn't help
smiling incredulously, for I knew the
superstition; but my friend stoutly in
sisted that he was being benefited, and,
in proof that the charm was beginning
to work, called my attention to the
fact that the little animals were stag
gering and trembling. See! he ex-
claimed, they suffer already! They
can hardly Walk Nearly all young
pelon dogs have peculiar lurching
gait, and even the largest and sturdiest
of them tremble continually from head
to foot, which Is generally attributed
to cold, but is due, in my opinion, to
defective nervous organization. So I
attached no special importance to my
friends conclusions A month or so
later he had recovered from his attack,
and meeting him at his store, I asked
how the puppies were coming on. He
clasped his hands and rolled his eyes,
L kill them BOTH he said; they suffer
too mooche. I cannot endure it to con-
template them By the way, it is an
odd coincidence that the people of the
French provinces believe quite gene
rally that spaniel puppies will draw fe-
YER from human beings. In some dis
tricts they are in great demand for
that special purpose. New Orleans

"THE SINGING GIRL"
Presented by the Alice Nielsen Compa-
ny at the Hyperion.

ny at the Hyperion.
The Alice Nielsen Opera company
presented THE Singing GirT to a pack
ed house at the Hyperion last evening
The piece ITSELF although billed as a
comic opera, doesn't seem quite worthy
of that nomenclature; true, there are
four or five solos, one or two duets and
two or three concerted numbers and
choruses of Herbert" type, but there
is supersaturated atmosphere of pop
ular" airs and vaudeville stunts" sur
rounding the production, decidedly de-
tracing from its operate" element.
Alice Nielsen In the role of Greta, the
singing girl, acts charmingly, sings
'prettily and pleasingly, possessing a
sweet mezzo-s soprano voice. In the first
act her martial selection, with Flags
and Banners Waving" ELECTED applause
and vehement yells from the twelve or
fifteen rows of "Elites," whose fill Of
harmonic love seemed to be Unsuitable,
and she was obliged to repeat the num-
Der time and time again. In the second
act after song entitled Beware" she
was the recipient of an elegant bunch
of red roses and once more the barbaric
'growls" rent the orchestra Of the Hy-
perion and Miss Nelson, although evil
IDENTIFY weary, was forced to respond
number of times. Eugene Cowles, for
merly of the Bostonians, assumed the
part of Duke Rudolf and was received
with hearty favor. Miss Gillette as
Marie has rich contralto voice and
handled her part ably.
The comedy parts fell to Messrs. Her
bert, Cawthorn and Slavin, and it was
these three that kept things "agoing."
A song by the above gentlemen, fol-
lowed by catchy dance in the third
act, upset the house and again, and,
thank goodness, for the last time in the
evening, the self-same groans and plau-
dts compelled responses from the trio.
The role of Count Otto was taken by
Richie Ling, who has a sweet tenor
voice and uses 1t well. The chorus at
times were certainly wandering from
the pitch held by the orchestra, but at
tackled and sang with dash and spirit
The scenery and costumes were most
pleasing.
