 AT THE HYPERION.


 "A PRINCESS OF KENsINGToN''
 AT THE HYPERION.
 Arrangeents were completed yester- day between John c. Fisher, proprietor and manager of "A Princess of Ken sington" and the traffic department of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad company, by which the latter agree to run a special train on Wednes- day, August 26, from NewSYork to New Haven for the company, scenery and baggage. The train will consist of four sixty foot baggage cars; four first-class day coaches and two parlor cars. The heads of the working departments of Mir. Fishers staff will arrive to-day to make some necessary alterations in the stage of the Hyperion to properly pro- duce the latest comic opera. Already acquisitions for seats are coming in from Bridgeport, Waterbury and Meri- den and the surrounding country for the opening nights performance, which from present indications will take on a tgala" attire. The mere fact that MT. John c. Fishers name in connection with any musical offering is now accep-
 
 greatly out of the ordinary. In fact, it can be honestly stated that their are but three firms in this country to-day who are the acknowledged producers of musical and operatic comedies, namely Msssrs. Klaw Erlanger Mir. Charles Froham and MT. John c. Fisher, and the amount of capital that is invested in these organizations would in the ag- gregate figure up many thousands of dollars
 "A Princess of Kensington' will be MT. Fishers first production this sea- son; this will be followed in January by another, English musical comedy, the book of which is by Owen Hall, who wrote the libretto for "Florodora' and the Silver Slipper" which is called .'The Medal and the Maid" the score of which was composed by Mr. Sidney Jones. This opera ran nearly all last season at the Lyric Theater, London. This new opera in all probability will have it's first production in America at the Hyperion Theater. In addition to these new operas MT. Fisher has the American and Canadian options on mu- sical comedies and comic operas which are to be given iri London this season, and which in all probability will be pro- duced in America season after next. Mir Fisher commissioned Messrs. Owen Hall and Sidney Jones to write an orig ina1 comic opera which it is his inten- tion to produce in New York city first and then take it to London. MT. Fish er's object in giving America the origi- nal production by two famous opera writers is to have the opportunity of showing London theater-goers how ex- travagant productions are mounted on this side of the water. Should MT, Fisher carry out his cherished ambition tere is little question but he will show our country cousins that the limit in staging productions as 1t is done in London is by no means exhausted from the American managers point of view. In the staging of "A Princess of Ken | sington'' MT. Fisher has without a doubt many agreeable and costly sur prises in the way of gowns for our fem mine theater goers. H The advanced sale of seats opens at the box office at 3 a. m. on Monday, Au.

Grand opcrn nanse.


 The new sensational and society dra- ma, Why Women Sin. which was we'll received here last season, returns to the Grand Opera House on Monday next, August 24, for three nights and Wednesday matinee. The new drama which has made a big hit wherever it has shown, is in four acts and seven .escenes, and is from te pen of Will Q. Murphy, a well known newspaper man, who has drawn careful pictures of an intrigue in New York society founded upon facts. The play shows the under current of emotions of the butterflies of fashion, and the temptations and traps that ibeset the women of society.
 The; action of the play is brisk and snappy, the comedy and pathos blend we'll together, and the clinaxes are dra-

ELEVEN ULCERS
On One Limb Excruciating Pain
 Physicians Little Value.
CURED RYcUTlcURA

"I wish to say that my mother has been a victim to ulcers from varicose veins for thirty-hve years. Eleven of these terrible sores have existed at one time on the limb affected. Excruciating pain and intense suffering was endured with all sorts of remedies on trial and numberless physician's calls and pre- scriptions applied, but all practically with but little benefit. However, at last the remedial agent was found in Cuticura Ointment which surely proved it's weight in gold, alleViating pain and causing healing processes to commence and cure speedily effected.
 "She has also used the Cuticura Ointment with marked benefit in cry sipelas of the face and eczema. The Cuticura Soap has also established 8 record only as the best; cleansing, puri- lying and healing in it's nature. hay ing proved itself a most excellent and valuable auxiliary to the Cuticura 0int- ment. I would remark that this tes- timonial is entirely unsolicited, being voluntary contribution for humanity's sake, and the commendation of the Cuticura Remedies to the fullest con- fidence, being satisfied of their purity, genuineness and almost miracles wrought" : $
