Esmond entitled Fools of, Nature The presence of Miss Marlowe in this city is always a matter of note. In the superb quality of her histrionic genius, the graciousness of her personality, and in the fine and dignified accomplishments of her career, she stands eminently at the head of American actresses to say in the very front of the foremost actresses on the English speaking stage. a... zsYa Seat sale now open.

 Grand tspcrn House,

Happy Hooligan, based on the world
 famous cartoons by F. opper, con structed for laughter only" This lat ter statement was certainly carried out
 in every sense of the word at the Grand Opera house last night and very large audience was amused. then delighted
 and then carried into paroxysms by the ludicrous situations mostly produced
 by the attempts of Happy Hooligan to
 rescue some one or do kind service,
 when, as is usual in the cartoons, his
 intentions are mistaken by a burly po- licemai1 and he is hustled off to jail.
 While this is, of course, the main feature of the production, yet by rea- son of it's being constructed for laugh ter only there are abundant opportuni- ties for the introduction of other spor- tive features, and these have all been very clever1y taken advantage of by the management. There is semblance of plot, but just sufficient to afford the introduction
 of several characters and the audience is not burdened with figuring out just how the play is to end, but has all the time to devote to laughing in a way which makes any one forget his trou- bles and think life is worth the living. Happy Hooligan" is certainly nothing
 but fun, and this fun is fast and furi- ous. This was attested by the contin- uous outbursts of applause.
 Many specialties are introduced dur- ing the progress of the piece, and of these special mention is deserved by

WAITED
And Finally Got It.

Prior to the time .Grape-Nuts food came upon the market I had suffered terribly from chronic catarrh of the stomach and had not taken one ounce of solid food, but forced to live on Ii- quids for upwards of IS months" says a Philadelphia man. Naturally I was greatly reduced physically and life was a burden to me. ... -
 When Grape-Nuts was first put up- on the market it seemed from it's de- scription that it was just what I re- quired and had been waiting for, so I began it's use and began to improve i'm. 1nediately. I kept up the use of Grape Nuts, growing stronger, and better until my stomach finally recovered entirely, and to-day I can digest any kind of food without trouble. All of the ca- tarrh is gone. I also feel the effects of the food very strongly in renewed nerve and brain force" Name given by Post- um Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
 A large percentage of all disease is caused by improper food and when this wrong condition of affairs is corrected and proper food, Grape-Nuts, is used in place of improper food complete restoration to health, brain, nerve and physical power follows. This is a sin- pie truth founded upon solid scientific facts and trial proves it.

the Boston Comedy Four" This quar- tette Is one of the best and most evenly
 balanced of any ever heard at the Grand, and last night they were repeat- #edly called to respond to encores. A medley of popular airs and their imita-
 tion of a church organ and of colored string orchestra were exceptional pieces .of work. In the first act the scene is that of a
 barber shop, and there the funny work
 began and it increased until the audi ence was almost in convulsions. The second act is a representation of lower Broadway, New York, with a trolley car passing in the distance Various laughable occurrences take place on the car and in front of it, and the entire company is heard in several very fine and up-to-date selections, while few fancy dances and marches are sand wiched in by the ten charming young ladies, elaborately costumed. Special ties are also given by Harry Mckee, who as a lightning change artist cer- tainly surpassed any one ever at the Grand. The rapidity with which he changed costumes last night and repre- sented first man and then a woman was marvellous, and many did not be- lieve that it could be possible to work such 8 transformation in such re- markedly short time. His singing spe- -cialty was also very good, w. H. Mack as Happy Hooligan, Mae Phelps as Ju- lie Moriarty and Ward Caulfield as Clarence Con also did acceptable spe- Cialty work in this ant st %# iii

 Novelty has been the order at the Jacques during the past few weeks, and 1t was something of the same yes terday when Manager Polps newest bill had its opening performances. This latest novelty is in the shape of play let from Emmett Corrigan. one or Americas most noted actors, and his company, 1t being some time now since d vaudeville show at this house was headed by sketch. The playlet is called 4SThe Pot and the Kettle" and concerns a burglary or rather an at tempt at burglary, which leads to nu- merous amusing complications. It furnishes opportunity for MT Corrigan to introduce some deftly artistic acting of the kind that has made him il noted figure among Americas best leading men, MT Corrigan made notable triumph in the leading role of Ben IEur'' and one can easily understand from his splendid work in this vaude- vile playlet why he should have been the most noted figure in that great spectacular scrint1ral drama. Miss Monroe gives him effective assistance in making "The Pot and the Kettle" a grand success.

embarling the Olympia fired a govern or's salute of seventeen guns and im- mediately thereafter hoisted anchor and steamed out of the lagoon
 While Admiral Coghlan and other Americans were treated civilly and courteously, and, while their visit was not marked by the slightest unpleasant or untoward incident, it was evident that the authorities at Cartagena were not glad to see the Olympia and were very glad when she took her departure. Admiral Coghlan was careful to leave at the soonest possible moment, evi- dently remembering the absolute loy- atty of the department of Bolivar to the Rogota government.
 Comparatively little information as to the general situation could be gain ed at Cartagena. There are probably $500 troops there, and there are re ported to be 5000 at Barranquilla The government is doubtless slowly concen- trating troops at Barranquilla and moving them toward Titumati in small numbers. There are probably 1,2OO Colombians at Titumati and vicinity now, and this number is gradually be- ing increased.
 Minister Beaupre had a good trip down the Magdalena river and was greatly gratified to find the Olympia at Cartagena on his arrival. The Bo- gotan authorities extended every cour- tesy to the minister, who left Bogota in a special train and was carried down the river on special steamer. He made the trip from Bogota to Car tagena in seven days.
 Minister Beaupre emphatically de- clined to talk of the political condi- tions.
 MT. Beaupre is going home on leave of absence which has long been de- ferred. He said he thought that any trouble between the United States and Colombia was improbable and that the Americans in Colombia, of whom there were very few, there being only about ten in Bogota and some prospectors in Antioquia and other places, were in no danger of nnolestation.

Naval Commander, Visiting Carriage. ma to Bring Our Minister to Co., lon, Is Received Without Any
 Display of Hostility.

COLON, Dec. 29.-Admiral Coghlan's flagship, the cruiser Olympia, has ar rived here from .Cartagena bringing A M. Beaupre, United States minister tc Colombia, and Mrs. Beaupre. WheI Minister and Mrs. Beaupre arrived al Cartagena from Bogota they at once boarded the Olympia, and she sailed immediately for Colon. Minister Beau pre- sails for New York on the steamer Yucatan today. ......
 The reception of the Olympia at Gar. tagena was friendly The naval au. thorities here received instructions from Washington on Christmas day not tt send the cruiser Atlanta, the converted cruiser Mayfower and the gunboat Castine to Cartagena with the Olympia as previously projected.
 The Olympia therefore sailed for Gar. tagena alone at daybreak and arrived off the Boca Chicha entrance to the big lagoon on which Cartagena is situated early in the morning. As the Olympia ran in toward the entrance she deserted the Colombian cruiser Cartagena four miles distant, making every effort tc reach the entrance and to pass into the lagoon ahead of the Olympia, which she succeeded in doing.
 The Olympia steamed slowly to the tortuous entrance between two old Spanish forts, which were apparently deserted, and found that the Colom o0I +aIy 17vA ynnSj%i0y1 n short distance inside, but commanding the entrance. It was learned subse quently that the Cartagena had grounded there and that later she was lowed into port.
 The Olympia passed the Colombian warship and proceeded to Cartagena, which is eight miles from the entrance.
 Anchoring about mile from the town, the Olympia hoisted the Colom bian flag at her main and fired salute of twenty-one guns. Shortly thereaft. CT the Colombian battery at the edge of tbe town returned the salute.
 Admiral Coghlan then arranged to pay an official visit to Dr. Jose Insi- gnares, the governor of Bolivar, which he did in the afternoon, accompanied by Captain Harrison G. O. Colby. Both officers were in full dress uniform.
 Admiral Coghlan and Governor Insi- gnares exchanged the regula ton for malities, the crowd listening attentive ly. The governor said he would return the visit immediately, whereupon Ad- miral Coghlan and his party returned to the Olympia.
 Al. T~~~, accompanied by numerous retinue, boarded the Olympia for the return visit and remained for some time be- fore the Olympia sailed for Colon.
