Whitney's stupendous produc- tlon of "The Show Girl" or "The Magic CaD," which will be seen at the New Haven theater the last three nights this week with matinee Saturday is a musical extravaganza in two acts, the primo factor of which is the merry making. When staged professionally by E. E. Rice it enjoyed a three months successful run at Wallack' s theater, New York city, and supple mentary season at Manhattan Beach. It was so successful that the man. agement felt warranted in ordering an entirely new set of scenery and CO.'S tunes, so that it will practically be a new production.
 The company of metropolitan favor includes Sam Mylie, Lou Hall Sid For rester, Josephine Floyd, Bern Vain wright, May Sweeney, Charles Parcor, Louis Langford, Blanche Bertram, Thomas Shea, Ida Scott, Herbert Mus tarde, Edna Glover, Raymond Belmont, Nellie Dowdell, Troubadour four. the Rainbow sisters. the Dancing Dandies, and thirty pretty singing and dancing girls, who move about the stage in a graceful and captivating manner.
 Forty new musical numbers have been written for this production. The piece is called "A Jolly Bit of Tomfool- ery,' and is built on the possession of a wishing cap, which is in the hands of Dionysius Ely, for. the introduction oi a host of specialties, all of which. are clever, refined and up-to-date.

ENTERTAINMENT.
Hyperion Theater.

The Earl and the Girl' is to be giv- en tonight and continued for the bal-t ance of the week at the Hyperion thea. ter. It is one of the best musical conn edies of the English product.
 A long run of two years at the Adelplli theater, London, and three months at the Garrick theater, Chica- so, has rounded the production into first class shape and every point of laughter is brought out to such an ex- tent that there is not an idle second in the entire evening. The company is one of exceptional merit and the production, which is under the direc- ton of Sam s. Shubert, is of the com- plete order, the costuming is elaborate, picturesque and up-to-date. There is an aggregation of 70 people and with out doubt the most beautiful show girls ever entered in one company.

:ne j. C. Aver Co. Will Print
 Formulas of Medicines on Bottle

Having heard that tho J. c. Aver company had decided to give to the public the complete formula of each of its medicines, we interviewed the treas urer and general manager. Dr. Charles H. Stowell, in order to ascertain if this was true. Dr. Stowcll said that it cer. tainly was true, and that it was simply the conclusion of plan which he had been working upon for . long time.
 When asked what effect it would have upon the proprietary medicine business if all houses were obliged to publish their formulas, he said, in his opinion, it would favorably affect the sale of Ill those medicines founded upon merit, all those preparations that were genuine medicines. On the other hand, he be- lieved just as strongly that it would mean the complete ruin of frauds, fakes, and swindles.
 "It is . welI-known fac. that the public is being swindled out of hun dreds of thou<ands, even millions of dollars each year, because of wildly sx- aggsrated and positively untruthful statements, giaringly displayed by the most lavish outlay of money. The J. c. Aver company has nothing to hide. We know our medicines are good. We simply take the public into our conti- dencs and frankly tell then just what they are getting for their money. That is all there b about it."
 Concerning the great agitation which has been raised in certain quarters be- cause some of these medicines contain alcohol, Dr. Storeil said: "J1st use . little common sense and figure is cat for yourself. The formulh which will

Uncle Eb tells in his diary that he had talk with him lasting more than m hour. but goes no further and never seemed willing to talk much about that interview ar others that followed 1t.
 I only know the man had brought more milk and fish and fowl for us We stayed another day in the old house. that went like the last. and the night man came again to see Uncle Eb. The next morning my companion was able to walk more freely. but Fred and I had to stop and wait for him very often going down the big hill.

IN A VISION.
CAPT. BYRON PLANS MACHINE
 FROM DREAM.
Mind Picture of Flying Device Came to Army Officer During Span- ish Campaign and He Has
 It Patented.

Washington.-It is promised that the citizens of Washington shall soon wit ness an unusual spectacle in the clouds over the White Lot The novel per formance will be by massive flying machine, which, like some great white bird, will circle about the dizzy-heighted Washington monument. This is the expectation of the inventor of the airship, Capt. George West Byron, a Washington man prominent in com mercial and Spanish War Veteran circles.
 Capt. Byron has entered his claim at the patent office, so that his rights can- not be infringed, and the work of con- structing one of the aerial vessels will begin, it is expected, in the coming spring or early summer. The inventor says he can discount Santos Dumont. who sailed about over gay Paris in his airship, and to demonstrate this he pro- poses to navigate in air about the Wash ington monument in his machine, and perform midair evolutions which will put the Dumont airship in the shade One of Capt Byron's claims is that he can fly in his ship from Wash ington to Chicago without once alighting on terra firma for either food or fuel.
 On the official files of the patent office the Byron machine is described as "an Invention which has for its object the production of an airship that will form a minimum resistance to the wind cur rents, whereby the control of the same Is rendered possible"
 A further object is to locate the cabin or other place for the accommodation of passengers or freight so as to afford the least possible resistance to the buoy. ancy of the airship. A further object Is to so position the cabin as to protect the same from the wind and other air currents, whereby the drag of the air currents upon depending cages is ob- viated. A still further object is to pro- vide means for assisting the airship in Its initial movement incident to eleva- tion and flight.
 Speaking of his airship. Capt. Byron said that the very first thought he had of tnventing an airship came to him while he was asleep.

Four Desperadoes Had Planned to Kill Jail Guards and Make
 Their Escape.

Cinainnati.-W1th a note tied to it's tail wee mouse tipped off officials to a daring attempt of four desreradoes to saw their way out of the Cincinnati prison and murder guards by whole sale, if necessary, in order to secure their freedom.
 The mouse had been drafted as an unwilling messenger between the pris- oners, and the slip of paper attracted the attention of an ever v.gilant guard.
 The men who planned the break were James Berry. ho dup man; James Taylor, diamond thief: Earl Moore, serving time for two oifenses, and James Mcclure, ex-convict of Joliet. The men had secured saws and two iron bars were sawed in Berry's cell and one in Taylor's. The prison CTS had planned to Kill Guards Bishop. Henry Asset and William He,rick. if compelled to. in order to secure their freedom.
 Three saws were found in Moore's cell. In Taylor's he off .als struck a dozen hack saws and steel frame was found in his bed ticking. A murder ous oak club 20 inches long and large dirk were also located.
 They have been plann ng for weeks to escape, and their moae of communi- cation was, perhaps, the most novel ever heard of. Berry would catch a mouse, tie a note to its tail, and as the rodent passed the cell of NJ Guire he would catch 1t and get the message
