THE r. M. c. 4. MEMS MELTING.
Addressed by Rev. J. l.. Garvin of New l.. York Yesterday Afternoon.


 The Grand Opera House meetings held by the Young Mems Christian ass sociation continue to be very popular with the young men. Every Sunday afternoon an attractive service is ar- ranged. with good music and speakers. Yesterday the choir of the Epworth Methodist church sang an anthem, 70, Jesus, Thou Art Standing," and Mrs. Fred WinsloW Adams, soprano, renders ed with pleasing effect Jesus is Mine" | The Hoosier Star Trio also sang threa | selections.
 The speaker was Rev. J. l.. Garvin, of the Union Theological seminary of New York city. He took for a text l Gal. 6, ' and 8: Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever man soweth that shall he also reap; for he that soweth to the flesh shall of tho flesh reap corruption; but he that sow- eth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life eternal"
 'The study of human life to-day,H said the speaker, is fast becoming al science. We group men into various classes, but after all life is distinctly individual. Society looks like great machine and so it is, but men are the parts and the rivets which bind the parts together. Each individual deter mines to large extent the place he shall occupy in this social organism. He chooses wisely or unwisely. There are vast issues at stake in every indiv- idual life, and man should choose the right, and choose, not tomorrow, but now"
 The speaker then gave a word pic- ture of how Naboth's vineyard was ob- tained by King Ahab and how Ahab was slain according to the prediction of the prophet. In closing he exhorted the young men present to be careful what kind of seed they were sowing. It was as easy to SOW bad sed as good seed, but the troubles comes with the reaping of the harvest.
 Next Sunday Rex. Alexander F. Irv- inc will give his illustrated address, on fThe Epic of Life" his subject being ''The Life and Work of the Great Artist Millet The Barnby male quartette will furnish special music.

TEETH AND FOOD.
A HeIp in Time of Need.

Sometimes bad teeth cause illness, masticate food. A man in Ada, o. had all of his teeth drawn, He was sick with indigestion and lack of vitality and his teeth were in a bad condition. He expected, with new complete set of teeth, to regain his health by thorough ly chewing his food, but he had an ex- perience that is well worth knowing of.
 Instead of improving l continued to lose strength" he says, until I was a mere moving skeleton. 1 tried number of prepared foods but none of them helped me until got GrapeNuts, The flavor pleased my palate at once. soaked the food in cream and got along with it nicely Within few days I mo- ticed that I was not so tired and iaded. Gradually I grew stronger, so I left off all other foods and took only Grape Nuts.
 My old time vigor came back and in two months I gained 17 pounds. This was remarkable for I am of spare build Now I sleep and feel wonderfully well.
 Inasmuch as I am doing so nicely without teeth I have concluded to wait until my gums have finished shrinking before having a set made. I don't be- lieve I could have gone through the drain on my system had it not been for Grape-Nuts. There is no doubt about the life giving and nerve building force of that food. l talk Grape Nuts to all of my friends" Name given by Pos tum Co, Battle Creek. Mich.

PoIs's Wonderland Tbenter.

The Svengalis will begin their week of mystical experiments at Polls this afternoon, and doing so will give an act that is drawing the largest salary to-day in vaudeville.
 There are three Svengalis, two men and a young woman, and their expert ments have puzzled the men of science, the public and the press of two conti- nents. It is not an experiment in hyp- notism It partakes of none of the fea- lures of that common experiment.. and the personages in the experiment are not placed in a hypnotic state. They, to explain the puzzle briefly, seem able to chat with their minds, Although no word is uttered, the whispered requests made to the man in the audience are transmitted like a flash to the people on the stage, and the response is imme- diate
 Included in these experiments are im- presentations of prominent characters,

Grand Opera House.

'"Thelma," to be presented by Alden 1 Benedict's excellent company at the l Grand Opera House tonight, to-mor-
 row night and Wednesday night, with
 matinee Wednesday. is a romantic dra- ma taken from Marie Corelli's story. ! The first, second and fourth acts take
 place in Norway, the third in London. l After marrying Thelma. Errington | takes to his London home where Lady l Winslegh proceeds to destroy her faith in her husband. and she finally sue. ceeds in driving Thelma back to Nor
 way by means of letter Burlington had written to a burlesque actress. Lady Winsleigh's efforts are entirely in behalf of her own affection for Firing ton, and are altogether wasted. Er-
 rineton is innocent of anything like un-
 faithfulness to Thelma Errington fol
 lows Thelma to Norway and the last
 act is the most spectacular of the four.
 It shows the Alten Fjord and the rain
 bow bridge in midwinter. The snow
 avalanche Is another welI-handled ef-
 feot in the last act, which is the most
 interesting of them all. "Thelma" is a
 play of heart interest, enlivened by
 plenty of true, wholesome comedy. The
 scenery is beautiful and many very ele-
 gant costumes are worn.
 The Innocent Maids under the
 management of T. w. Dinkins, will be
 at the Grand Opera House on the last three days this week. There will be a holiday matinee Saturday, Washing tons birthday. The show opens with the very funny burlesque "A Wooden Woman" which serves to introduce twenty handsome girls in a double sex tette of Belles and Beaux. the Scrub woman Chorus and novel change act, and from the rise of the curtain the fun is fast and furious. Among the specialties are such stars as John W. Jess, last seasons star with "A Hot Old Time" company, assisted by Joe Mad den, in a funny Irish act; Bennett and Rich, who are the originators of illus trated songs, also doing an entirely new act called "At Camp in the Philip pnes;" Anna Yale and Rose Carlin, | duettists; Mark and Kitty Hart in sketch; Nellie Sylvester the popular singer of ballads and Joe Mor- | ris in new and original parodies. The closing of the show is an intensely laughble burlesque entitled "A Lottery Ticket"
