MYSTERY IS EXPLAINED.
STORFTHAT WM. PATERSON WAS
 sANDBAGGED 4 MYTH.

Two Men Claim to Have Seen Him Fall
 Opposite Graduates' Club, but His
 Friends Think That oveIwork and
 Worry in Connection With Burns
 Celebration Caused Temporary De-
 rangement.
 The mystery lowering over William Paterson, the treasurer of the Burns celebration committee, has now been cleared up. and it has been found that the story of sandbagging is a myth, and that of his being robbed without any foundation, while other rumors have also been greatly exaggerated.
 MT. Paterson was seen yesterday and but for slight stiffness in the neck he said he felt as well as ever he did. Regarding what happened on Friday night he could not give any explana- tion, as his mind was still blank re- garding that matter. The detective de- partment, which has been working on the case, has, however, solved the mys- tery.
 Two men who were on their way up Chapel street met MT. Paterson on his way down and they claim that when near the Graduates club MT. Pater- sons feet went from under him and that he fell heavily on the sidewalk They claim that he at once got up and without any help continued on his way. Those who are intimately acquainted with MT. Paterson say that he is at times troubled with violent headaches, and some of them think that the tenn porary Arrangement was caused by overwork and worry in connection with the carrying through of the Burns cele- bration, the bulk of the work in connec- tion with the tickets and other things devolving upon him. His physician, Dr. Thomas Young, of Winchester ave- nue, on being asked to give his opinion regarding the matter, stated that there was a wound on the top of the head which might have been caused by fall ing down a flight of stairs or coming in contact with something. There was a temporary Arrangement of the brain, but whether the wound was the cause of it he could not tell.
 The true solution, therefore, seems to lie in the opinion as expressed by sev- eral of his friends, namely, that over work and worry, together with one of his headache attacks, had for the time disarranged his mind. The true solu- tion of the story as printed above will no doubt be pleasing to MT. Paterson's S many Scottish friends, as we'll as the host of people who daily come in con- tact with him in business.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theater.

''The Rogers Brothers in London will appear at the Hyperion tomorrow night. The company is sent out by Klaw & Erlanger, and 110 people ap- pear in the production. It is the most elaborate vaudeville comedy in which the Rogers brothers have ever been ex- plotted. Some of the more prominent members of the cast are Joseph Coyne, Lee Harrison, Melville Bliss, William J. Gale, George Austin Moore, James Cherry, Harry Brown, Lillian Coleman, Carrie Reynolds, Neva Aymar, Frances Tyson, Sue Stuart, William Torpey and Arthur Gibson.
 The play is full of bright songs and opportunities for specialties. A re- markable feature, judging from it's popularity in other cities; is the American Beauty, flower song. Three revolving wheels are fixed above the stage and from these depend scores of floral ropes which are grasped by as many girls as there are strands and are interwoyen, as the singing contin- ues, after the fashion of a Maypole dance The costumes in this scene are superb. Calcium lights in all the col ors of the rainbow are constantly play- ing upon the scenes, giving fairyland effect. The play is said to be a musi- cal comedy of a very high order. Seats are in good demand. Prices $1.50 $1 and 75 cents.
 Richard Mansfield comes to the Hy- perion next Thursday night in his great success, sOld Heidelberg Mansfeld's appearance is the event of every dramatic season of which it is a part, because he is not only an actor of protean versatility and commandign genius, but because he gives his studi- ous energy only to the worthiest ma- terial and embellishes all he touches with a generosity, taste and complete ness that mark his productions as the standard of this generation. His "Old Heidelberg has proved the most tri- umphant play of the season every where, and those who have seen it dur ing the long runs at the various Euro pean capitals are of the opinion that the Mansfield f'Old Heidelberg" would be a revelation to the critics and play goers abroad. Mansfield will be bril- liantly surrounded in point of massive production, distinguished supporting players and the chorus of singers who appear in the revels of the students.

 The character of Pepita, to be DOT trayed by Miss Maude Adams in her new play, ''The Pretty Sister of Jose, !" in which she will be presented in the city at the Hyperion next Friday and Saturday nights, is real flesh and blood girl, with heart which genu- finely breaks under the terrible weight of the unanswered love which it sud- denly learns it is carrying.

Grand opera House.

Lincoln J. Carter's latest melodrama, "Too Proud to Beg" will open at the Grand Opera house for three nights and Wednesday matinee beginning to- night. This attraction was put on for a weeks run at MT. Carters popular theater in Chicago, the Criterion, last spring for a first production, and the press notices, together with the pub lies enthusiastic commendations, were most flattering, being little more than what was anticipated for it's suc- cess.
 The story fits the title of the piece to perfection. The heroine, who is thrown on her own resources with her two husband has been murdered for her sake, spurns with contempt the smooth villains advances for her heart and hand and his offer of gold, preferring starvation and death to a loathsome marriage. The husband makes his ap- pearance in flesh and blood after a serious illness as result of being drag ged out of a fire in which he was trap ped. After many other exciting vicissi- tudes justice is meted out to the guilty ones, while he is once more united to his happy family.
 The fine cast includes Miss St. George Hussey the popular Irish comedienne, who plays the Irish landlady with much cleverness. The Boylan children, late of the Flight Cornelli'' family, do an artistic acrobatic turn. Others in the cast are George Eckart, A. B. Lynds, Swain and West, Jake Simons, L. F. Lorraine, Stella Boylan and many other actors of note and reputation.
 It is reported that no production in recent years is so replete with enthu- siasm and splendid acting as that of James Parker's superb company which will appear at the Grand Opera house next Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights in the great sensational ana soul-stirring melodrama, Escaped from Sing Sing'' Brimful of quiet hu- nor and thrilling situations, there is not a dull moment from beginning to end. This is the only company before the public to-day carrying en route an ex-convict. There will be matinee on Saturday.
