The Grand,

The Grand.
 A new idea is introduced in "A Man of Mystery" which opened a three nights engagement at the Grand opera house last night and despite the storm there was very large audience to see the owner of safe rob it himself while in mesmeric state, while the burglar calmly looks on. It has often been re-
 marked that absolute silence on the stage is more effective than the most
 brilliant dialogue. In scene wherein
 burglar is interrupted by the owner of
 the house and, hypnotizihg him, forces him to open the combination of his own
 safe, not word is spoken for several minutes. But 9the audience is breath
 lessly watching the movements of the
 burglar as with snaky writhings of his long fingers he puts to sleep the old physician and then with sign makes him go to the safe and turn the knob until the iron door swings open, and fol- lows the action much better than it would if there were a lot of talk accom- panying it. When the scene ends there is long sigh of relief, and for few moments after the act drop has fallen people forget to talk to their compan- ions, so impressed are they by the trag- ic power of the scenes they have just witnessed The enthusiasm with which the melodram was received was an as- surance that the large audience was pleased. Great credit is due MT. Bun- nell for presenting such strong attrac- tions at popular prices. The play abounds in thrilling moments, relieved by scenes of pure, wholesome comedy, with dash of singing and dancing in troduced The piece will be repeated this and tomorrow nights, with a mat inee tomorrow. The sale of seats is large.
 My Mother-in -in-Law," with Ullie Ak erstrom in the title role, will be the at- traction at the Grand opera house on Monday and Tuesday nights of next week.

REV. FATHER STOKES DEAD.
Passed Away Yesterday at His Home in
 Il,sidc I na RrAther Here

Bridgeport-Leaves a Brother Here.
 Bridgeport, Jan. 25-Father Henry J. Stokes, son of Michael and Rosetta Stokes, died this morning at the family, home on Henry street, after prolonged illness with consumption. He was born in Bridgeport twenty seven years ago. He had been all ing since his ordination as Catholic priest last July. Owing to poor health he was not assigned to any parish, merely different places during the. absence of priests from their respective parishes. Father Stokes was an amiable young man, with a host of friends, who will deeply mourn his demise Piety was one. of his marked characteristics and despite his education he received in the public schools of this city, entering St. Joseph's academy at q tender age. He graduated from that school with high honors, the brightest pu- pil the academy ever turned out. Having a desire for the priesthood he. pursued the study of Latin first with Father Crenin. and later with Father O'Brien. He showed such marked ability in the pursuit of his te-collegiate studies that when he en- tered St. Charles college, Ellicott City, Maryland, he was able to enter the junior year.
 With high honors he completed his clas- sics. being foremost in his class in Latin and Greek. He made his theology at St. Mary's seminary, Baltimore. and was or dained priest by Cardinal Gibbons in Bal he is survived by two brothers, George, who is a Christian brother and teacher in the Lasalle academy at Providence, and Charles, stenographer for the Consolidated road in New Haven.
 The funeral probably will be from the Sacred Heart church Saturday morning. Bishop Tierney will, if he can so arrange, act as celebrant of the mass.
