Grand Opera House.

One of the strongest and best plays
that has appeared at the Grand opera
house this season was the attraction
last evening and it played to very
large audience. The play is called
winchester and as the name would
indicate, is story of the civil war,
with the story of the love of north
erna soldier for southern girl, inter-
woven in the more solemn business of
war, with it's incidental plots and coun-
ter plots. The piece is deliberately
staged and is played by an excellent
company, every member of which is es-
pecially fitted to their parts.
Miss Florence Lytelle, as Mrs. Ran
dolph,' which was intended as a rather
urimportant character role when the
play was written by her clever produc-
ton, winning way and good stage pres
ence. puts an entirely different interpre-
tation on the part. While she maintains
the dignity of age, which the part
should partray, she gives the impress
sion of that Of an ingenue.
Mackay, as Major Kearney," the
hero, is manly and effective; E. l.. Sna-
der as Philip Allen" does some excep-
t;onally strong work in the fourth act;

hyperion 'FaaeNter.

Y Very unusual interest is manifested in
the engagement of Charles Frohman's
Empire Theater company at the Hyper
ion Christmas night, Thursda, Decem-
Der 525, when they will present H. Y.
Esmond's new play 1.-THE Wilderness"
The company is again headed by
Charles Richman and Margaret Anglin,
whose splendid abilities and genuine
art were shown so magnificently In
MRS. Danes Defence" last season, and
which excited degree of comment and
feeling bordering quite close to the SEN
sational. In the new play these two
favorites will be seen in a much more
favored aspect, for instead of typifying
antagonistic social forces, they are the
lovers in the play. Mr.. Richman as Sir
Harry Milanor has a role which shows
the splendid manliness, dignified mien
and strong reserve force which seem to
clara cterize this handsome young
actors own personality. Miss Anglin
will again portray psychological study
in feminine character, a. word for which
I her past performances have shown her
eminently fitted.
The story of the play is that of a
young girl who has been trained by an
ambitious scheming mother to look for
ward to a marriage for money and So
cial position as the principal purpose of
a young woman's life. She believes
herself in love with young man, but
Ilarries baronet for his title and
wealth Her husband is splendid man
and she finally falls in love with him.
The story is told with extreme ingenui-
ty and with more than ordinary skill
and charm-facts which may be readi-
" accepted when one recalls the very
delightful quality of this authors work

Ger of the stomach was the cause of
death and for the past six months the
case was regarded as hopeless. Mrs.
Downes, however, herself realizing the
impossibility of recovery, bore her in
tense suffering with heroic patience.
Her funeral will be held from the Surf
House Saturday morning at 8 o'clock
and from ST Lawrence's church, West
Haven, at $3.50 o'clock, where a requiem
high mass will be celebrated.
Mrs. Downes leaves no immediate rel
atives Her husband died nearly thirty
years ago and she had lived to see a
large family of children pass away one
after the other. The death of the last
son, Joseph r. Downes, occurred three
years ago. Another son, Michael E.
Downes, held under the city govern
ment the office of city clerk. which po-
sition his father had held many years

Decided strength and renewed activ-
ity characterized the early dealings in
the stock market and most every ac-
tive stock made sharp advances. The
situation both financially and political
ly is rapidly righting itself although
sharp reaction may be expected after
such extensive advances have occurred.
When they come we advise adding to
ones holdings as the upward movement
has in our opinion only begun, and with
the Venezuelan complications out of
the way and easy money we may look
for an old time speculative movement
right after the first of the year. The
tseel situation continues statistically
strong and it is evident that the Nor
gan interests have been active in sup
porting the steel stocks. 1t is alto
gether portable that st. Paul, Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific, Sugar Copper,
Atchison and the steel stocks will soon
recover their recent drop and we
strongly advies holding for much fur
Their advances.
Further profit taking in the grain
market caused sharp reactions and we
think the present quotations for May
wheat offer exceptional opportunities
for investment as the Armour clique is
still very active and is undoubtedly ac'

families and proved of great accOmmO-
dation.
