That famous musical comedy "The Telephone Girl,' which has excited dis cussion and called forth encomiumS in every city in the Union, is announced for production at the Hyperion tonight and it will doubtless be greeted with the same enthusiasm as it has met with elsewhere. At least, preparations are being made to entertain a large audi ence and it is a pretty shrewd guess to say the management will not be disap- pointed. The play is something of a novelty and differs materially from the other girl" shows. It goes with the swing that the public is fond of and leaves no room for ennui. The music is very bright and pretty and of the kind easily understood and whistled
 Dave Lewis as Hans Nix the telephone inspector, is the central figure and his German burlesque is extremely clever and kept up with unflagging spirit and zest He is ably assisted by Miss Jes- sic MerriIees, who is versatile little actress, a good singer and as charming as she is versatile. The tipsy scene in the second act is admirably done, pi- quant without being vulgar. Snu es and Toots, James F. Macdonald and Miss Nellie Douglass, are very clever in little scenes during two acts, and MacDonalds singing is far above the

Drying preparations simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions which adhere to the membrane and de- compose, causing far more serious trouble than the ordinary form of ca tarrh. Avoid all drying inhalants and use that which cleanses, soothes and heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such remedy and will cure catarrh or cold in the head easily and pleasantly. All druggists sell it at 50 cents or it will be mailed by Ely Brothers, 5e Warren St., New York.

Diplomacy in the affairs of nation is
nothing more than an extension of tact in
social life. One day last week a giant of a
colored man took load of coal to a resi-

ugly and the good wife who was looking
after things at home wanted much at his
hands. He tod her that he had three tons
to throw off of the wagon, had sworn
roundly because the sliding door to the
barn was hard to open and he was in open
rebellion when she asked him to make a
bin in the corner that the coal would
not scatter all over the floor.

serious question about the latter, which is

by Dr. ID. w Prentiss, a well-known ply
sician. was not properly compounded at the
drug store of Albert N Connor, corner of

suit OF putting among the ingredients an

The death was reported to Coroner New
lit yesterday by DIR. Prentiss. who stated in
the certificate that the primary reason for
death was pulmonary tuberculosis or con-
sumption. and that the immediate cause
was accidental atropia poisoning" but the
fact that the coroner was making an inves-

The jury was taken TO the home of the
deceased. % N street. and there viewed
the remains and were sworn.
Returning to No station the taking of
testimony was begun.
DIR. L. W. GlaZebrook, the deputy cor
Cner. testified to having performed an au-
topsy on the dead girl He said he found
her in a sadly emaciated condition from
tuberculosis. The left lung was entirely
gone and the right one almost. He said
she could not have lived longer than three
or four days even had there been no "ac-
cidental poisoning from the overdose Of
atropia, alleged. AS to atropine poison
ing, DIR. GlaZebrook stated he could not say
anything, by reason of the fact that the
body had been embalmed by the un ler
takers before the autopsy was held.
Other witnesses examined were Albert
Connors, at whose drug store, 1t is alleged.
the fatal prescription was compounded, ,
Frank Tuck and Isadore Cohen. drug clerks
employed by Mr.. Connors, and DIR. d. w.
Prentiss who was Miss Melling's attending
physician.
The Fatal Dose.
The deceased girl was the daughter of the
late George Melting. jr.. and as already
stated, lived with her widowed mother and
sister at No. 2s n street northwest. Mrs.
Melting and her family are well known and
much respected. DIR. Prentiss. who has
been the family physician for years, decid-
ed Sunday TO give his patient the medicine
ordered in the prescription, and which, it
Is stated, Is often used In cases of con-
sumption. Taken in small quantities afro
pia, 1t Is stated, generally gives relief, but
when administered in large doses 1t is a
deadly poison and fatal results usually fol-
low in IL brief period.
A dose of the medicine was taken by Miss
Melting at o'clock Sunday afternoon. The
directions of the physician were that a sec
ond dose was to be given in four hours but
in the meantime the patient became so
much worse that Dr. Prentiss was hastily
summoned. Upon his arrival at the girls
bedside he found her suffering from the ef-
fects of the poison. Energetic efforts were
made to overcome the influence of the drug
but despite the most heroic attempts the
girls life ended at 7:15 o'clock.
The surviving members of the family are
prostrated with grief over the sad occur
renee. The funeral Of Miss Melting will
take pace tomorrow morning from the
Church of the Immaculate Conception, and
the interment will be private.
