Will H. Murphy and Blanche Nichols
with their From "a "a to Uncle Tom"
furnished the top line here last night
and to say they scored hit is putting
it mildly. They had the house in roars
of laughter and in giving a scene OF the
time honored Uncle Toms Cabin" they
presented plenty of the humor of the
day. The work of Mr.. Murphy is clever.
He is the best funmaker in the bust
ness. Quiet and not of the uproarious
type he gets lots OF laughter out Of any
scene. The sketch was hit and quite
relief to the seekers for genuine COM
| edy work.
The famous Brothers Bard had the
house in good shape with their cracka-
jack acrobatic number. They have just
returned from Europe The rest of the
bill is well balanced. Knox Wilson as
the German musical comedian, Dean
Edsall and Arthur j. Forbes with their
sketch "The Two Rubies." Hendrix ana
Prescott with songs and dances, the two
IAshtons with their club swinging iska
and King with a decidedly clever nlagi-
clan act were also well received. The
valet is a genuine funmaker.

time he secured a, vaudeville company
from Cincinnati and gave free enter
tainments to his bloonin' co1npatriots.
He built dam across little creek,
Ioverfiowing a wide bottom, and upon
this pond he launched a steamboat.
The steamboat was a pronounced sue
cess until the first freshet came along
and took out the dam. Then the young
man didn't even take the trouble to dig
his steamboat out OF the bank where it
had landed some miles below.
The colonists built handsome houses
on their ranches and engaged in a de-
sultory fashion In stock raising and
farming. George Grant created the
town OF Victoria as British headquar-

village He built handsome depot
and hotel and then pretty yittle chap

young men had gone away-recalled,
probably, by the parents who were not
entirely satisfied with the reports which
came to hand from those who were So
Der enough to write with accuracy In
that year George Grant died at the fine
ranch which he had established a few
miles away from Victoria. He was a
remarkable man in many particulars,
and his idiosyncrasies are still talked
about. One of his theories was that IL
uuor would never hurt a man IL he did
not drink water for half an hour
either before or after indulging in the
stronger beverage. The visitor to his
house would be there but few mo-
n1ents when a servant would appear
with a tall bottle filled with fine old
Scotch whiskey. He would look in
vain, however, for water with which to
wash 1t down. And on these occasions
Mr., Grant would expound his theory at
great length. waxing positively elo-
quent over the deadly effects of water.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theater.

Few people have any adequate idea Of
the expense attached to the production
OF a moving picture film. ''Hiawatha"
as presented by the Shepard Moving
Picture company required an expendi-
ture of $1,000 before the first negative
was received and fourteen negatives
were taken before the perfect picture
shown by Mr.. Shepard was secured.
The great stage coach robbery which
Is astonishing everyone who sees it, and
which is a marveleusly effective piece
of photography. was obtained only after
an outlay of over $4,000, and three
months of constant experiment. The

It is common belief in Ellis county
that the old gentleman died martyr

events, he passed away in 1879 and his
body was buried at the front door Of

thing to liken to the. atmosphere of

Al the New Haven Theater.

IN the sterling melodrama Her Mad
Marriage" presented at the New Haven
theater last night, the author, Frank
Allen, has brought out a story which
Americans for many years. The play
lis not Of the usual blood and thunder
character, but builded along lines novel
and intensely interesting. Many feat
lures Of the. stage craft wholly new to
the average theatergoes are introduced.
There afe of course the love affairs, the
wit, humor and pathos Of successful
lmelodrama, but the general thread Of
the story differs very materially and
lin this the author has worked up play
OF great strength. In word Her Mad
Marriage details the love and court
ship of an unsophisticated young
lheiress and a designing actor. He wants
her for his wife principally to cecoup
his past reverses. She is, against the
will of her father, and unwittingly, be-
trayed into q mock marriage with the
actor. He has promised to make her a
I great actress. After a short married life
he tires OF her and to accomplish his
end, easily arranges for her to appear
as his leading lady In a presentation Of
East Lynn. A change of glasses causes
him to drink poison Intended for her,
and there is great confusion. Excite
ment ran high in the audience last
night when the wife was accused of
murder and placed under arrest by a
detective.
The company Is an able one as the
play Is excellent, and their work last
might was Of high order.
HE Marriage Vow will be repeated
this evening and tomorrow afternoon
and night at the New Haven theater.
The great success Under Southern
Skies" will be seen at the New Haven
theater on Thursday and Friday nights
of this week. This play Is described as
''the most original. diverting and un-
hackneyed play Of southern life ever
written" The story Of Under South
ern Skies" is an absorbing one and It Is
told with all the fascination that has
made the same authors play of Way
Down East" SO successful. Many even
prefer Under Southern Skies" for its
spirit of gayety, It's. romance and bau-
| ty are more alluring than the homelier
attributes Of Way Down East" The
story Of Under Southern Skies" is wo-
ven about an arlstocratic family of the
south and their high born friends.

Will Piacate Panama.

Washington. d. c.. Aug. 22.-Wil
liam H. Taft, secretary of war, yester-
day stated that the United States had
no intention of detrimentally affect
ing trade in Panama by the creation
of the new port of Ancon in the Pan
anna canal zone.
His attention had been called to re-
ports in the Herald and Republican
that the Panamaians were dissatis-
fled with the administration of Gus
toms as ordered by General Davis, the
governor of the canal zone, and by Off
cial references to the zone as pur-
chased property. Mr.. Taft said, in
part;
1.-The United States has no intention
OF injuring the trade of Panama by
the creation Of the port of Ancon. We
merely desired to have a port of en-
try for such materials and supplies as
we required in the construction of the
canal. Nothing can be imported into
Ancon and thence into Panama with
out payment of duties to Panama.
"It is evident that many merchants
in Panama feel that they will be in
jured, while, as a matter of fact, we
are going to do that country an i'm
mense amount of good, and l believe
that as soon as General Davis, who
will soon return to Panama. Minister
Barnett and representatives of the
Panama government get together.
there will be no cause of complaint"

quished. The fight occurred yester-
day. After 1t the Novik. in a sinking
condition, was run ashore in Korsa-
kovsk harbor on the island of Sakha-
lin.
The details OF the sea fight are not
known here. but it is evident that the
Chitose and Tsushima caught up with
the Novik yesterday and that a run
ming fight ensued.
The contest was resumed and term
minated early this morning. Captain
Sukeichiro Takashi, who is in COM
mand of the Chitose, reports the en-
gagement in a brief telegram which
reached the Navy Department here
this afternoon. He says he first at
tackled the Russian cruiser Saturday
afternoon and that on Sunday morn
ing he inflicted heavy damage on
her.
The Novik nearly sank and she was
beached at Korsakovsk. A shell from
the Novik struck the Tsushima in a
bunker. Temporary repairs. however,
rendered the Japanese cruiser sea
worthy. and she continued to fight.
The Japanese suffered no casualties.
