As to the Committees Reply-Thinks
 Matters Will All be Satisfactorily Ad-
 justed.
 President Hall when interviewed last evening in reference to Valentine Fitz- patrick's statement and the general sit- uation at present said:
 Everything looks favorable and do not think there will be any strike We have offered the men an advance in wages where we think it is deserved. This road is willing to pay it's employees as much as any other road does. We have the printed pay schedules of the various railroads around the country in our possession, and we can refer to them at any time. We were to have met the trainmen on Friday morning, but they requested an audience to-day and we were perfectly willing to grant it. They came to my office and we then presented them with a statement as to just what the road was willing to do for them. This they accepted without any discussion, and said they would consid- CT the offer in all it's details and meet us at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning (to- day). They would then inform us as to their intentions"

FAT BABIES
Are Famous SIeepers,

The saying, Sleepy as fat baby" expresses a good deal, for fat babies are famous little fellows to sleep. What a contrast is their refreshing rest to the pitching and tossing of a sleepless cof- fee thinker A good elder of Springfield, H., found a way to bring refeshing sleep in place of insomnia. Until three years ago." he says. For 15 years I was troubled with throbbing in my stomach, was very nervous, kidneys out of order, troubled with severe head aches and dreadful insomnia.
 After trying all sorts of remedies I came to the conclusion that my troubles were the result of drinking coffee, and seeing an article in the paper about Postum I determined to try it. So quit coffee and took on Postum. It agreed with me from the first cup. At first I drank it diluted. then pure. relished it too and to my great joy I was soon free from stomach trouble, nerv- ousness all gone and head clear and instead of being wakeful for half the night I sleep like fat baby and get up in the morning refreshed. This I owe to having juit coffee and taken to drinking Postum." Name furnished by Postum Co.,. Battle Creek, Mich.
 Nothing marvellous about it but there Is a reason. If healthy sound sleep is worth anything to you drop coffee and give Postum a short trial-say ten days. That will tell the tale

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP
Gu, ed by One Bottle of Cham berlatn's
 Cough Remedy.

"When I had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) I actually cured myself with one bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
 ". Perry. editor of the Enterprise. Shortsville, N. Y. This is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon full of this remedy, and when the cough ing spell would come on at night I would take a dose and it seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and I would 80 to sleep per- fectly free from cough and it's accom- panying pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most agreeable surprise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because I had never tried it for such purpose, but it did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe. and had not used the contents of one bottle before MT. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale by all druggists.

THE ROADS PROPOSITION.

1 HE ROADS PROPOSITION. | Following is the counter proposition | given out to the trainmen of the road, by the board of directors, in response
 to their claims:
 | The board of directors have carefully | considered the differences between the
 company and it's employees, and have
 unanimously decided as follows: | With regard to schedules: l. That the number of schedules
 and the different classes of employees to
 be included in any schedule and the
 rules and regulations hereunder, must,
 for the safety of the public, and proper
 management of the company be left to | the discretion of the directors. 2. That the existing schedules, so far | as they relate to the classification of employees, must be maintained-until
 otherwise decided by the board-with ] the following notifications; (a) that all
 conductors, both freight and passenger,
 be included under one schedule, (b) all trainmen and yardmen under another schedule.
 | The board insists that the classifica- l tion of employees is right belonging to the company and it's exercise is re-
 quired for the proper management of the company's affairs. Long-estab- ! lished usage sanctions the practice on this road, and the fact that most of our
 connecting roads preserve the same di- visions confirms it's wisdom. l It is to be conceded. however, that
 reasonable amendments affecting wages
 or regulations under schedules from
 time to time existing, should be
 promptly considered, and that all com
 plaints hereafter arising under any of i the schedules should also have prompt consideration by the company. | With regard to compensation of em-
 ployes:
 The board, having received from the operating officials full detailed reports
 concerning the present rates of compen- sation of classes affected by the con- ductors' schedule and the trainmen and 1 yardmens schedule, and also all other lclasses of employees, and having care- fully considered the same, and having found as a result of such Investigations | that, generally, the pay of said en- ployes is already as high, and in some | cases higher than that paid by other | roads in this locality, although in a few
 cases lower, unanimously decided as l follows:
 1 That the board desires that it's em-
 ployes shall receive just and liberal
 treatment, and wages equal to those
 paid for like service by other leading
 railroads, and that their committee be | authorized to meet the committee or
 committees of the employees with a view
 of accomplishing such results. And thereupon, on motion of MT.
 Morgan, seconded by Mir Rockefeller, | it Wassunanimously
 | Resolved, That John M. Hall, presi- dent; William D. Bishop, vice-presi- ! dent of the board; Charles F. Choate, director; George Macculloch Miller, di-
 rector, and William F. Merrill, first vice | president, be and are hereby appointed | special committee to meet the joint committee of employees on Wednesday

BIG INCREASED EXPENSES

lust be Met by Economies-what Pro-
 posals Will Involve.
 President Hall, of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, says, in regard to the coun- ter-propositions to the men made yes- cerday, that they involve a large in- crease of the operating expenses of the 'oad, but they will, in part, be met by economies in certain directions, includ- ng train service. A careful compari- son of the wages of the New Haven arge eastern railroad systems had hown that, in general, his company lad been paying as high wages as they. }ut at some points the New HaYens s wages were lower, and in cases-flota- ely the railroad telegraphers-theyg had Jeen too low, and in all suc.l groups there had been a proper increase, which lad even been extended to branches LOW paid equally with those of other 22stern roads.
 The time, President Hall added had ion of wages, and thas had been most 'weepingly applied to all groups of em- loves and to individuals. The fact hat other railroad companies had rais- d wages had to be recognized as fac- or in the case, but in that connection ne fact had also to be considered that turing the low ebb of railroad earnings come ten years ago the New Haven company had not followed other rail road corporations in reducing wages.
 President Hall gave the strong irn- pression that the new payrolls repre- scented the largest concessions that the would make, and that 1t would

 Resolved, That there is no objection on the part of the company to promo tions to the position of passenger con- ductor being filled alternately-or upon some other basis--between baggagenen and freight conductors, provided in both cases the applicant is qualified; the company always reserVing the right to pass upon qualifications.

ENTERTAINMENTS s.
Hyperiow Theater.

Miss Mabelle Gilman, who tripped
 gracefully into public favor as a comic
 opera star at the Bijou theater, New
 York city, in November last, possesses
 the vivaciousness of Anna Held, the
 daintiness of ] u Chaser and the
 sprfghtliness of rene Bentley This
 happy combination of attractive auali-
 ties, added to the fact that she sings
 and acts well, and has an uncommonly
 sympathetic voice and manner, insures
 for this young actress success and pop
 ularity when she appears at the Fly
 perion tonight. The Mocking Bird"
 Tn Which Miss Gilman is the central fig
 ure, IS comic operetta by Sydney Ro
 senfeld and A. Baldwin Sloane, the lat
 ter having been identified with some of the biggest successes of recent years, notably 'The Man in the Moon,' 'The Hall of Fame" 'The Liberty Bellies" and score of others. The entire work is written on academic lines, and it's chief distinguishing quality is a deli cacy and refinement too often lacking in this class of entertainment. The
 most popular selections are said to be "The Lion and the Mouse" The Sly Coquette, 'The Point of View the octette Carried Off, Glorious
 France and the fascinating coon mel ody Whats the Matter With the Moon To-night?" Miss Gilman is supported by an unusually strong cast of favor
 ties, and she comes with the unstinted
 praise of press and public. The ad-
 vance sale has been large. Prices $50,

 The beautiful play "Lazarre." which comes to the Hyperion tomorrow night. is an adaptation made by MT. Skinner from the novel of the same title written by the talented authoress, Mrs. Catherwood, who died not long ago. The story is that of the lost Dauphin of France, son of Louis XVI, and his supposed adventure in America. MT. Skinner will give the play a very
 gorgeous setting and he is, supported by company of particular excellence, including Nanette Comstock, Maud Durbin, Walter Allen, Ben Ringgold, Charles Welles and Joseph Weaver. In fact, his name is always a guarantee for first class stage representation, as witnessed by Francesca" last year. Seat sale now open. Prices $50, $1 and 75 cents.

GranH Operu House

A true Yankee story, presented as an interesting Yankee play, portrayed by real New England actors, piloted by a veteran manager from the Green Moun- tain state, are the promises held forth by U. D. Newell, who will present for the first time in this city at the Grand Opera house tonight, tomorrow night and Saturay night with matinee Sat urday, his sensational comedy drama, "A Jolly American Tramp" This play is by the same author who wrote "A Poor Relation and Peaceful Valley" for Sol Smith Russell, and is said to have outdone himself, for in this piece he gives us delft character delineations that, we are told, almost rank co-equal with Charles Dickens creations, so true to nature are they said to be. In this play the author touches that we'll spring of emotion the heart, and, firm ly grasping it, holds his audience en- tranced until the curtain rings down upon the final scene, when every wrong has been lighted, the just rewarded and the guilty punished. Manager Newell has secured a good cast for its por- trayal, among whom the names of Jack Allen, Kitty Bingham, Carrie Godfrey, Margaret Meredith, We're Wilson, Har- ry Clifton and E. Grahame stand forth. The locale of the story will be truthful ly depicted and the costuming will be appropriate.
 Sullivan Harris and Woods, the pro- prietors and managers of Theodore Krelner's powerful melodrama, "The Fatal Wedding" claim that this com- pany, which will be seen at the Grand Opera house next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, with matinee Wednesday, for q return engagement, is in many re- spects the most evenly balanced that has ever been exploited by them. Noth- ing but words of praise have come from those cities where it was presented last season. and the performance of the lit tle lady who enacts the part of Jessie "the little monther"-has been univer- sally pronounced a masterpiece Of ar tistic child acting. There are no weak points in the cast, and even in some of the minor parts are to be found people who have appeared only in stellar roles before the public, but who are destined to speedy return to that eninence. The production will be complete in every detail
