BEAUTIFUL SOUVENIR.
Mrs. Jessie c. Harger's Artistic Ability
 Displayed in Calendar.

Mrs. Jessie c. Harger's Artistic Ability
 Displayed in a Calendar.
 Certainly one of the finest specimens of souvenirs published in connection with the bicentennial celebration is the calendar designed and arranged by Mrs. Jessie Craig Harger, of this city. Mrs. Harger's artistic talent is quite well known, and this specimen is only an- other excellent evidence of her ability. 1t has a handsome front page, in blue and gold, showing the Yale seal sur rounded by the Yale ivy, with stream CTS in artistic design, giving the names of the first and last president of the university.
 The calendar dates from October 20 and covers fifteen pages, which give the remaining months of this year and also of 1902. Each page is splendidly adorn- ed with pictures of most of the old his toric buildings and all of the present ones, and numerous buildings in course of construction and prospective. This calendar is on sale at the Yale Art school, and is exceptionally we'll worth the price asked.

The piece is interesting, and the cast pre- senting 1t thoroughly competent one
 A theme of Australia, the new melo- drama, to be presented next Thursday at the Grand opera house, was suggest ed to the author. Daniel L. Hart, by an incident in the popular novel called

FOOD CURE.
Results in Change of Diet Are Won
 derful.

Good food, properly selected, will in my opinion, cure almost any ordi- nary disease. I want to tell you my experience and of my recovery by the selection of the proper diet. I am a business woman, very closely confined indoors, with considerable care and anxiety Some time ago I had a se- were case of the grippe, and after re- covering from it had serious time following, as many people do.
 I was unable to get well until I changed my diet, leaving off Mocha and Java coffee and using the Postum Food Coffee in it's place, and taking up GrapeNuts breakfast food. This win ter have given both fair and con- tinued trial and the results are su- perb, I am restored to perfect health and strength, and, as you claim I have a reserve force bodily and mentally, that carries me through many hard places.
 I cannot praise the food too much for 1t will, if used steadily. cure all disturbances of the system caused by the congestions la grippe is answerable for. A dish that contains the most powerful rebuilding clements can be made as follows: Hot milk brought to a boil, break in two fresh eggs, and as soon as the eggs set pour the boiling milk and eggs over some Grape Nuts in a soup dish. No breakfast of meat can be so good.
 I use Grape Nuts in this way every morning and have no sense of lack of food all day. l have kept well and remarkably free from colds all winter, which I attribute to fine condition of health, brought about by the use of the famous food and of Postum Food Coffee" (Grape-Nuts are perfectly cooked at factory and are usually served cold. with little cream or milk.)

 Polls attractive show drew heavily again last night and pleased it's audi ence immensely Besides being a won derful acrobatic act, the skit of Reno, Richards and company is a comical string of nonsense, but it is so ridicu- lous, especially when the fat man and the small boys appear to assist the per formers, that the house is carried away with shrieks of laughter
 Smith and Campbell, two jolly boys with jokes and songs, keep the merry ball rolling, and, in fact, there are so many contributors to the fun that the evening is passed quickly in laughter and applause.

Chilli AND ARGENTINA.
WASHINGTON THINKS THE SITUATION
GRAVE, IN SPITE OF OPTIMISTIC
DIPLOMATIC EXPRESSIONS.

Washington. Dec. 14.-The Gillian Charge
patch to-day from the Chilian Foreign Office
saying that an answer was delivered yesterday
to Argentina's latest note in the pending contro-
versy and that the Chilian Government was
confident of amicable adjustment Sefior In
fante has received a number Of dispa tches from
his government since the crisis began. all of
them minimizing the seriousness of the trouble
and asserting that peace would be maintained.
Dr. Garcia Merou, the Argentine Minister re-
ceived no dispatches from his government to-
day. The representatives of Argentina and Chilli
have no knowledge that formal tender of good
offices has been made by the United States. nor
has either government thus far requested the
friendly offices of any outside power.
Although the public expressions of those occu-
pying diplomatic places are necessarily op-
timistic there is reason to believe that the situ-
alton is more grave than the officers are willing
to admit 1t appears to be certain that Argen-
tina will maintain the stand she has heretofore
announced to Chill. It is said that in previous
controversies between these countries Chill has
usually carried her points by the aggressiveness
OF her course, but in the present instance those
we'll versed in Argentine affairs declare that
concession or compromise will be brought about
by Chilis aggressiveness and her show of mill
tary strength. There is reason to believe that
this view has been made known to the govern
ment Of the United States and that it leads the

committee within two weeks from the time it
was introduced The Williams resolution was
introduced about week ago, that it will
become privileged, and can be called up i'm
mediately after the holidays. 1t is expected
that other resolutions will be introduced
Mr.. Pearre, of Maryland who represents the
district from which Admiral Schley came. said
that he would introduce a resolution for Con-
gressional investigation Of the entire Sampson
Schey affair unless his colleague from Mary
land. Mr.. Schirm, who had contemplated such a
resolution carried out his intention. Mr.. Pearre
says he has not formulated the details of the
proposed inquiry, but he thinks it would be de-
srable to have it conducted by special COM
mittee rather than one Of the regular commit
Of the House.
Chairman Foss. Of the Naval Committee, de-
clined TO express opinion to whether Con-
gress would deal with the Schley case. he said
he had been careful TO avoid taking sides on
the subject, il might come before the COM

II IS the general understanding that the chair
man is not favorable TO Congressional action
Chairman Payne, the majority floor leader,
said: why should Congress go into the sub

and I doubt whether it would be advisable for
Congress to go over the ground already coVered
Representative Meyer. Of Louisiana, member
Of the Naval Committee, said: II do not think
there should be q Congressional investigation.
The verdict of the American people finds It's best

Congress could develop information which the
court had failed TO develop, 1t might be well for
Congress to investigate. But the court has fuI!y
developed all the information. Congress could
do no more than go over what the court mas

WAR NOT EXPECTED.
ARMED CONFLICT BETWEEN CHILLI AND
ARGENTINA LOOKED UPON AS
UNLIKELY

Gable advices were received here yesterday
from Buenos Ayres and Santiago which give
further assurances that there will be no armed
conflict between Chilli and Argentina. Infor-
nation from the latter republic is that prom
ises have been made to London capitalists who
are financially heavily interested in the
try that the government will do nothing to
jeopardize those interests. A cable dispatch
from an equally trustworthy source in Chill
says that in political circles there is absolutely
no thought of desire for war, adding that
the differences between the two countries will
be amicably settled
A person in this city who has large interests
in both Chill and Argentina said to a Trib-
une reporter yesterday:
Business men here have never entertained
the least fear about their interests in either
country Personally, I have from the opening
of this controversy been certain that it would

than provoking war 1t was to impress forc1bly

imnortance and necessity of arbitration. Now
that Great Britain has been decided on as ar
