''Way Down East" which will be

Thursday, Friday and Saturday even

Saturday, is a great melodrama, whose
immense popularity is already war;
ranted. "Way Down East" is the latest
development of the rural drama, and it
combines the merits of 'Shore Acres
in the acting and has even greater
measure of heart interest in it's story
1t is also immensely more picturesque
in it's stage setting and realism of pro-
duction than 1.-THE Old Homestead"
There is no telling. however, how long
it will continue a popular favorite, but

Cuban Teachers Broke All Records
At Harvard.
GOOD JUDGES OF TOBACCO.

The Harvard students are great smokers and
1t has been said that more cigarettes and cigars
are consumed in Cambridge than in any other
city of its size in the country. But during the
stay Of the Cuban teachers last summer at
Harvard they broke all records in smoking,
consuming upwards of $4,000 cigarros of one
brand alone in three months. Coming as they
did from the Gland of tobacco and being
judges of the weed, they were careful in select
ing their brands and after samplng various
makes of cigars and cigarettes hit upon the
"Big Brother" Of the Cuba Cigarro, which
reigned supreme with them and was universally
smoked. "We find the sBisanAsehers' are aro-
matte mild and always the same" said one
gentleman to Messrs. Billings g. Slower, the
we'll known Cambridge druggists, .and we
Cubans prefer them because they are similar to
the Havana cigars we are accustomed to in our
country, besides, we find they are made of the
upland tobacco which is always grown under
excellent conditions, and thoroughly matured."
There is peculiarly spicy taste in that class of
leaf, which is never found in any other. If you
are used to the flavor of Havana tobacco you
will be pleased with them also. Why not try
them once7 They come five in a box and
box costs but ten cents.

deliberately and enthusiastically by our
citizens throughout the last night of
the century and especially in view Of
the coming Pan-American exposition
to be held here in commemoration of
the marvellous developments of the
nineteenth century in the western hem,
isphere. Buffalo would record in her
annals with great pleasure the felicita-
tions of her sister cities on her centen-
MEL jubilee. CONRAD DIEHL,

The biggest Monday of the season
was the situation at Polls yesterday.
Great audiences, afternoon and even
ing. saw the "al vaudeville" show and
applauded it's many excellent novelties.
To-day, for New Years callers the
show will be continuous with doors open
at 1890.
One of the biggest hits ever made In
the house. and this Is saying great
deal. was theat made by the musical
Colbys.. There are four In the family,
and the elders are artists who alone
can win the most exacting audience.
The climax came, however, with the ap-
pearance of their two pretty children,
the cleverest tots seen here in many
years. Recall after recall brought them
out for half dozen encores.
Provost and Provost In remarkable
comedy acrobatic act, are another
strong feature. Miss May Cook, the
cornetist and soprano soloist brought
down the house and the spectacular fin

Grand Opera House.

The big show this season is Diamond
Brothers Double White Minstrels,
which comes to the Grand opera house
Wednesday, January 2, matinee and
night. The success that has attended
this unexcelled attraction proves con-
clusively that the public appreciate a
modern and refreshing novelty in the
way of minstrelsy and this company
gives one of the finest expositions in it's
line of amusement. There is not one
slow moment In the entire performance
which is refined, sparkling and catchy
from beginning to end. The costumes
and stake settings are both magnifi-
cent and elaborate, a feast for the eye.
A strong feature of the production is
the grand opening medley overture.
The collection of jokes is new and
creates uproarious laughter. The olio
is out Of the ordinary and first class.
Boyle's club swinging act is marvellous;
Sam Horner and Lew Diamond, knock
about comedians, create sensation;
Weaver and Donna impersonators,
make an unequivocal hit; the Diamond
Quintette, are thoroughly pleasing; and
Norwood and Devaro, horizontal bar
performers, do strong turn. The Sc
lections rendered by the concert orches-
ira are a genuine treat for lovers of
superior music. Be sure to see the big
street parade at noon. Seats now on

In Down Mobile Leslie Carter has
most successfully aimed to portray life
in the south as 1t exists in certain sec
lions to-day. He spent many months
in Alabama before his play took detin-
lite shape in his mind, and he now feels
safe In saying that every character in
his play has its fac-simile in real life,
and each one of the numerous splen-
did scenes produced is a picture as ac-
curate as a photograph of some place
or locaff1y in the sunny south. Down

following gentlemen were elected to the
board of governors for one year: James
j. Kennedy, George T. Stanley, Michael
Moloy and Thomas A. Kean.
The past year has been a most pros
porous one for the club, the member
ship having been largely increased, and
the finances according to the treasurer's
annula report are in fourishing con-
dition. During the past year float
ing debt of $1,000 has been entirely
wiped out.
The club ushered in the new century
last night with an entertainment in
the nature of Smoker" with lunch

Many novel features took place just at
the stroke of midnight appropriate to
the occasion.

STOCK MARKET FEATURES.

| As Reviewed by Prince & Whitley.
New York, Dec. 31.--The early morn
ing news brought higher quotations
from London accompanied with large
buying orders of the internationally
listed stocks. Purchases for European
account amount to probably $4,000
shares whites sales were practically
nothing. The almost unexpected better
sentiment in Europe may be ascribed to
a more satisfactory state of affairs in
China which latter also had a good eff
feet here at home, especially so in
commercial circles The opening of ous
market was strong at further advances
almost throughout the list and such re-
cessions as took place later on profit
taking were almost entirely recovered
on renewed general buying; in fact,
there appeared no signs of exhaustion
In the buying power nor was there any
abatement in the confident sentiment
and expectation of still higher prices.
On the whole we think, however, that
fresh commission house business was
less active and the market was more
in the hands of the large monied inter-
r6lS EtlElt DloltSSlbIldI anu room TRAD
ers The latter on account of the en-
larged interests they now take have
become a very important factor. The
money market Is firm at per cent. on
call. Foreign exchange is firm with act

Wheat, with increased speculation, CON
tinued strong at further advance of 21b
cents for the day. Sentiment appears
to have turned quite bulish and there
is more desire to buy now than when
prices were five cents lower only a few
days ago. Cotton continues steady, but
trading is not active. Southern mark
cts are turning dearer and offerings
from the interior are light. Best in
formation leads us to think that crop
will show a decided falling
off in the near future. We look for
much activity and higher prices.
Total transactions at the stock ex-
change for the year 1900, not including
this day, amounted to 1O4,277,57O listed
