EETERTiINlH ENIS.
Hyperion Theater.

| George H. Broadhurst, the gifted
 American author has evolved another
 new and highly successful farce, 'The
 House That Jack Built" It is con-
 structed on very novel lines, the second
 act, in which a room is papered in full
 view of the audience, being particularly new and striking, The story revolves around a certain Willie Slab, paper
 hanger by force of circumstances, but
 "a plumber al heart" who has been en- gagged to do work on house being built by Dr. Jack, a wealthy but eccentric gentleman To him comes Sir Edward
 Singleton, who has seen and fallen in love with Hester, the doctors daughter
 a young lady who believes in the down. trodden workingman and despises the aristocracy. Sir Edward. learning of her socialistic tendencies, persuades the paperhanger to pass him off as his as- sistant, and when he makes his appear ance in workman's jacket and over- alls Hester is immedia tely impressed by the bearing of this magnificent speci- men of American workmen Mrs. Dool- ey, wealthy widow, desirous of mar rying her daughter Florence to a mem- Der of the nobility, discovers that Sir Edward is there in disguise, but mis- takes the genuine paperhanger for him, Out of this mistaken identity the au
 thor has given situation after situation that evoke shouts of laughter. The book fairly scintillates with epigramatic wit interpreted by an unusually clever company of farceurs, whose names are guarantee of an excellent perform ance. The leading roles are in the hands of Thomas A. Wise and Mrs. Annie Yeamans, assisted by Alfred Klein, Charles Cherry, Frederick w. Peters, Herbert Ayling, Harrison Armstrong, Roy Farchild Alexis Lew Gisiko, Miss Brandon Douglas, Anita Bridger, Grace Dudley and Jennie Yeamans. 1.-The House That Jack Built" will be pre- sented at the Hyperion tomorrow even- ing.

 Madame Sembrich's Rosina, in which role she will be heard in the production of "The Barber of Seville" to be given here on Friday, January IS, at the Fly perion, is bewtching in its sparkle, vii vacity and varied humor. Its moods change as quicksilver, and the charm ol tle eHliIe lilpeISoHdl llol IS leiSiLeH- ed always by some detail in action that this greatest of singing artists mood suggests Vocally, Madame Sembrich is a faultless singer, the most perfect sing ing artist in the world.

There are In this department five transitmen and the board of finance in making up the estimates for the ensuing year pro- vided for the increase of the salaries of these men from $500 each per an- mum to $1 1000 each Since the salaries of men already employed could not be legally increased resignations and re- appointments took place so that. the men could get the increase

 MT. Kellogg, an assistant engineer in City Engineer Kelly's office, appeared and said that he appeared to speak for MT. Kelly and Director Hugo concern ing the Grove street pavement. He said that the failure of the contractor to finish the work on Grove street by the time stipulated in the contract was caused by unnecessary delays caused by Anthony Carroll, who was inspector on the job. He said that MT. Kelly and MT. Hugo did not think that MT. Bra EOS should be compelled to pay $5 per day for the delay

Unde cstands How to Increase Her
 Business.

The landlady of a certain restaurant in Brockton, Mass, has increased hel business so rapidly that she has had to enlarge her dining room to accom- modate the continually increasing pat ronage. One of her guests gives the reason.
 Every morning she serves her regu- lar guests with Grape-Nuts and hot milk or hot cream in cold weather, and cold cream in summer. I began eat ing this food and right away began to feel an improvement in my health. had been terribly troubled with nerv- ousness and dyspepsia and found it impossible to find a food that would agree with me. until I began boarding at this restaurant.
 "The new food, in four months, in- creased my weight from 120 pounds to 145 and I never felt as well in my life as I do now. There is something re- markable In the sustaining power of this food I have never been able to obtain such results from any other" G. R. Hersey, 30 I street, Brockton, Mass.

Boers Driven or After Infiicting and
 SutferInG Severe LOsses.

London, Jan. 10.-General Kitchener sends news of a serious simultaneous attack on the night of January z by bodies of Boers on the British positions between points sixty miles apart, along the lines of the Pretoria and Lorenzo Marques railway. The losses on both sides were heavy. Following is the text of the dispatch which is dated at Pretoria Wednesday, January g:
 "On the night of January the Boers made simultaneous and determined at tacks upon all of our posts al Belfast Wonderfontein, Nooitgedacht, and Wildfontein. Intense fog prevailed, and taking advantage of the cover it afford ed, the Boers were able to creep up close to our position. A heavy fire con- tinued until $40 a. m., when the Boers were driven off. One officer was killed and three wounded. while twenty men were killed and fifty-nine wounded The loss of the Boers was heavy, twenty four dead being counted.
 "A convoy taking supplies to Cor don's Brigade north of Krugersdorp, was attacked by Byer's commando yes terday CTuesday). The Boers were driv- en off, leaving eleven dead on the field. Our casualties were four slightly wounded.
 Cape Town, Jan. 1O.-The refugees are approaching the military authorities to obtain permission to form a corps for the protection of Johannesburg and the mines only, as they wish to be on the Rand to assist in the defence of their own property. The chamber of mines has adopted a similar attitude.
 On the Picquetberg road the Boers occupying Celvinia and Sutherland con- sist of two columns, one advancing in the direction of Clan William and the other toward Worcester. or in that di- rection. All the passes in front of Worcester have been occupied by sea- soned troops, which are gathering at strategic points. The tranquil Dutch openly disapprove of the raid, many even sending horses to the British camp.
 The mounted infantry from Cape Town occupied Pickaneerskloof with out opposition before the Boer invaders could reach that place. The cvclist corps has arrived at Clan William. No Boers were seen in either of these dis tricts. The docks are being guarded by blue jackets and marines. Convalescent sol 1 diers are taking their places in guard ing the Boer prisoners on shipboard.
