Grand Opera House.

The management of the Grand opera
 house will present the original Stetson
 production of Uncle Toms Cabin"
 Monday, Tuesday and "Wednesday this
 week, with matinee Wednesday. There | is magic in the name of Uncle Tom and | its capacity to draw the public to see | it. When produced with a proper dra- | matic cast, coupled with proper scenic and mechanical equipment, no such story of American life, prior to the
 great crisis in our national affairs, has ever been penned. For twenty years, the Stetson production has been the leading one, steadily advancing each season with the wonderful advance
 ment in stage craft. The rolling stock parade feature, the scenic investment, the choruses have been steadily added to, while the musical and dramatic roles have been placed in the hands of
 artists of reputation. s pecial scenery
 by Seavey is carried for every scene de- picted. A corps of colored singers, cake walkers, dancers and field hands from the cotton belt lend realism to the plantation scenes. A train of rail- road cars, specially const ructed, is re- lulIeu III lHc lIdIlSpOltdlluIl Ul lIilS mammoth company, while the street demonstration is said to excel anything yet seen in the theatrical world.
 A new four act comedy-drama en- titled Home Sweet Home" from the pen of Edgar Smith is the offering to the patrons of the Grand opera house Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week, with Saturday matinee The play deals with rural life in a simple but fascinating phase, in the portrayal of which Mr Smith shows that he has more than casual insight into hu- man nature. His keep perception of the ludicrous and pathetic sides of his characters; his gradual and harmonious unfolding of plot, and above all, his skillful treatme of the salient theme, picques the curiosity, and could not fail to arouse the interest of the base as well as the unsophisticated. The play will be presented by company of acting people engaged especially for their especial fitness for the role por- trayed.
 'The Tide of Life" which played to packed houses when here last season will be the Christmas attraction at the Grand opera house Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, December 23, 24 and 25. There will be holiday matinee Christmas day.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theater. MADAME NEVADA AT THE HY-
 PERION

Madame Nevadas performance at the Hyperion next Friday night will be one ! of the great musical events of the sea- son. The great cantatrice had not been heard in the eastern cities during the past fifteen years and the greeting which she and her company received demonstrated that the American public has long memory for their favorite singers. They showed their pride in the little American singer who had es tablished herself in almost every coun try in Europe as the worlds greatest cantatrice. Nevada has but one rival Melba, but while Nevada has been faithful to the bel canto, Melba has been faithless to her creators-Bellini, Donizetti, Meyerbeer and Verdi, and has turned from the straight path to follow strange gods. Melba has de- claimed Brunnhilde. Nevada, who is "Amina,'' who is Lucia" has never wandered from the beautiful field and would not be Brunnhilde if she could. She is cantatrice, pure and simple, the one supremely gifted throat with

 At the top of the line is Will M. Cressy, the famous actor author, as- sisted by Miss Blanthe Dayne in their new sketch written by MT. Greasy en- titled "A Village Lawyer.
 Then there is a pretty novelty, "The Bachelor and Belles," an act arranged and managed by Harry T, MacConnell, who presented here "The Beaux and Bellies Octette." The lyrics are timeful and catchy and the four young women in the act are very pretty.

SEA VOYAGES FOR INEBRIETY

SEA VOYAGES FOR INEBRIETY At the last meeting of the Society for | the Study of Inebriety, pr. Wynn West | cott read a paper in which he gave ex- precision to certain views in regard to the use of sea voyages in the treat | ment of inebriety which should be care fully considered by all physicians who
 may feel inclined, as no doubt many do at times feel inclined, to advise re- formed drinker to take sea voyage as means of establishing his health be- fore returning again to his ordinary
 mode of life
 pr. Wynn Westcott said that he had formed a decided opinion on the sub ject. The sort of cases which would be
 likely to be sent would be those in
 which it was desirable to re-establsh
 the general health, and 1t was to be re-
 membered that under the most favora-
 ble circumstances life at sea was not all
 rest and comfort, and that the nursing
 dieting and quietude which were essen
 tial for patients with perhaps fatty
 heart or liver, were very seldom to be oUldlileu. FeW SdScS, iiucSu, pl du-
 vanced disease of any kind seemed to
 him suitable for sea life. even at it's
 best. There was no doubt, moreover,
 that the dullness and monotony of the life, and other causes, tended to pro- duce thirstiness. Often a good deal was drunk just before reaching the home port in consequence of the people on board being in a disturbed, excited state; and again, the period of nervous irritability, depression and praecordial distress to which the dipsomaniac was subject were likely to be more fre- quent on board ship than ashore.
 Therefore, if dipsomaniac really wanted to get well, he should be dis eouraged from taking a sea voyage. The ideal ship for a patient who wished to travel in this manner would be a sailing ship, which was commis- stoned on teetotal principles, with teetotal captain and crew, and which touched at scarcely a single port en route. Such ship, however, would be generally difficult to find. In any case no reformed drunkard should be trusted on a sea voyage alone.-HospitaL

THEY WOULDN'T SHOW OFF

"A young lady acquaintance of mine conducts a kindergarten purely for the delight she takes in the work" said Senator Depew. tI was present not long since on an occasion of showing off. The young lady wished to demon strate how successfully she had taught the children thu meaning of words by appealing to their imagination. She had taught them according to a system of symbols which she had herself ar ranged. Of course, the little people were much terrified by the presence of stranger, and refused to corruscate for the glory of the ambitious teacher as usual. At last she resorted to a question which she hoped would re- trieve all:
 Can any of the children tell me what happens during the season of win ter?"
 "The silence was not broken for a long and desperate interval. Then one brave tot blurted out:
 Please, ma'am, me and Willie sleep very close together when it's win ter
 "We all encouraged him. What else?' beamed the teacher
 ''The child thrust his hands into his mouth and thought awhile. Then he announced triumphantly:
 'Willies feet are alwayth cold

SOME GOOD ADVICE

You can hold your position if you fit yourself to its model so as to fill every crevice. Be like cake. At first it is soft, spongy dough, and is poured into a mould which it but half fills. As it l bakes it rises and crowds every dent in the mold. Not content, it bulges over the top; it makes a cake larger than the mould will hold. So, young man
 and young woman, be larger than your mould After you have filled every crease and crevice of your position to
 advantage, work out at the top. It is
 the largest cake that brings the most
 money.
 Always keep your promises. Your employer will never ask you to do more
 than is possible. Remember that an unfulfilled promise is as bad as a down. right untruth. Live within your means. Never let month pass that you do not put something in the bank. Saving is the first great basic principle in the foundation of success. Dress neatly and plainly, for an employer marks a man as a fool who apparels himself with extravaganza and glaring colors. Never try to win the favor of your em ployer by slandering your fellow work CTS Slander always sticks. Show kindness to your fellow employees, but do not let it be forced kindness, for that deserves no thanks. Resolve slowly, and act quickly. Remember, it is bet ter to be alone than in bad company; that you cannot give your employer or yourself full value, if you try to work after a night of dissipation; that si- lence, like cleanliness, is akin to godli- ness, and that clear conscience gives sound sleep and good digestion, and clothes one in an impregnable coat of mail.-James J. Hill in Success.
