ADJUSTMENTS

With a leading man who can wear a
 monocle as if he really liked 1t. a leading woman who can act. a French
 maid who is pretty. another actress
 who is statuesque and convincing in her mock ferocity, the Grand opera house this week is housing the best company that has been seen there for months and months, says the Los An geles Express. "The Marriage of Kit ty'' is the name of the play. It is a comedy which is as keen in it's concep- ton and as cleverly worked out in It's detail as anything Clyde Fitch ever wrote. IL is not new play. It has served as the vehicle for stars, and IL has been boiled down to a vaudeville skillet, but it is being seen for the first time in Los Angeles in it's entirety. It makes the Grand blush for shame at it's gory record. and puzzles the peanut gallery with it's cleanliness and absence of horseplay. The company is as good as the play. There are only six per sons in the cast. but these six are host, when compared with the dozens who appear in many of the more pre- tentious productions with pretentious prices attached. Harry B. Roche. who looks as Hon. Joseph Chamberlain probably did twenty or thirty years ago. is an actor all the way. He never allows the comedy of the part to take his attention from the fact that he is playing the part of a British nobleman and fun with dignity is his maxim. Miss Florence Gear in the rde of the delightful Kitty is pleasing to the eye. ear and mind. One wishes that Miss Hazel K. Chapple. who plays the French maid, had something more to do. Miss Elsie Baird, tall. handsome and dramatic, provides striking back ground for the comedy.
 ''The Marriage of Kitty will be seen at the Doris. Christmas afternoon and evening. Prices s1.50, sl.O0 and 75c. Matinee. 2.30 p. m. Adults $1.O0. chill dren 25 cents.

PHOENIX A PLACE
 FOR INVESTMENTS
An Expert in Such Matters Says He Knows of no Better Opportunities Anywhere.

H. ID. Underwood. who was in bust ness for several years in Tucson. but who. for some time has been located in Los Angeles. is in the city and will remain for some time Speaking of business conditions yesterday. MT. Un- derwood said that he was most favor ably impressed with the outlook In Phoenix. He thinks it is no better anywhere. and it is certainly not near ly so good in Los Angeles. He said that investments here now were sure of paying a much better profit than any that could be made in Los Ange- les
 The activity which has prevailed there for several years came to be et the nature of a boom with the inevit- able result that in the excitement values were pushed too high. It will require some unexpected incident to keep them at their present level. Los Angeles, said Mir. Underwood. has been very fortunate in such incidents. but good fortune cannot be regularly counted upon.
 The building of the Salt Lake road was a great thing for the city and be- fore the effect of that impetus had passed away there came the earth quake and fire at San Francisco which diverted from that town much capital and investment which had been des- tined for it. It rather naturally went to Los Angeles
 At the beginning of the activity there and when it was at its height, every body was making money. It required no great capital to engage in the busl- ness of making money. But as the capitalization proceeded these oppor- tunities became fewer and fewer until now it requires great deal of money to make start there.

MY WIPES FAMILY.

My Wife's Family made things so warm last night that it even took the chill from the cold Orpheum. says the Douglas Dispatch. For the Orpheum is cold, despite the fact that it has one good stove. Given another stove and an all days firing and the house ought to be entirely comfortable. If one more stove won't do the work. then there should be two or three more.
 My Wife's Family Is a musical farce all right with fun and situations and suggestions enough to run three or four comedies. There was a big house and every one present got his moneys worth of laugh.
 James l.. McCabe. my wife's physi- elan, William J. Maddern, my wife's husband; Charles J. Mitchell, my wife's father. and Rose L. McCabe. my wife's mother. were all immense. They are quartette of huge fun makers. Mitch ell has a good voice, as has Margie Ryan. Little Miss Ryan is indeed quite the musical star of the cast. Miss Primrose as the actress is a dazzling dramatic school product in her first appearance. Later her cos tune tones down and her voice is heard to better advantage in a duet with Mitchell.
 The music of My Wife's Family is not the feature of the performance so much as its predominating ridiculous ness. Its the light empty nothingness which has put Willie Shakespeare to the bad and has done for Ward and James. It is of the Murray and Mack order with something more of a story to the book and a little less horse play.

New York, Dec. Is Especial Core spondence of The Republican. )-One factor in the present stringency of the money market which seems to have been overlooked by the wise ones who don't know how it happened, it the Christmas flow of good American cash to Europe. This year its volume is greater than ever before, and the clerks in the money-order department Of the postoffice have been working overtime for month to keep up with the rush. So far more than s2,O00,00 has been added to the Christmas fund of the old countries by relatives and friends here The Celtic. which sailed on December l2, carried the largest mail ever sent from New York. It consisted of 4.O3S sacks. containing SO,534 registered ar ticles and 4.1s7 articles in the parcels post. It included money orders which reached total of S905,0 ,04S.6S in 5S,534 orders, an average of s15.50 each. The largest amount, S279,6 went to Great Britain. Luxenburg got s1S5. the small est sum, while other small amounts went to Egypt and Portugal. To Italy went the second largest sum. s143,973. Sweden came third with $SS,0OO. Aus tria got sS2.OOO.

other the figures representing their re- spective salaries Considering the number and size of the figures, 1t is re- markable that no more harm was done. Just now the group which is occasion ing the most comment from habitues of Broadway Is a galaxy of some eight or ten operatic stars. representing at least five different nationalities. who are all stopping at the Hotel Astor on LOngacre Square. Included in the number are, Pol Plancon. Alessandro BOnci. Mde- Emma Flames, Miss Bessie Abbot. Mime. de Cisneros. Renaud, the new baritone, Moritz Rosenthal anG Yvette Guilbert. So far no blood has been shed; in fact, in seeming defiance of all traditions to the contrary, these celebrities are dwelling together in the utmost peace and harmony under the same roof, while. as if to fling the gauntlet in the very face of fate. Oscar Hammerstein and Herr Heinrich Con- reid, rival managers of this musical constellation may frequently be seer lunching or dining in the same room.
 A new problem Is interesting the statisticians who take pleasure in fig- uring on the growth of New York in population. That is the question of how the city will be affected by the transportation and terminal improve ments resulting from the expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars now being made by the railroads entering the city. While this will develop the metropolitan area as a whole so that the statisticians predict that New York will pass London as the worlds me- tropolis by 1920. the fact that the greatest of these improvements will facilitate transit to New Jersey,.is like ly to deprive the city proper of tens of thousands of inhabitants who will be lost to it so far as the census re- turns will indicate. The completion of four great tunnels under the North river, with the possible addition of the worlds greatest bridge spanning it, will result in drawing a tremendous number of New Workers to the hills and shores of New Jersey, which will be brought into close and direct touch with the metropolis. A writer in the New York Sun predicts that this exodus to the Garden State will be the greatest movement of its kind that has ever occurred. Of course New York's loss will be New Jerseys gain. and the dis tribution of population by its numerous trolley lines will convert the whole northern end of the state into a prac- tically continuous suburban city.

Six hundred teachers are wanted to participate in the s17.0OO,O0O paid sIi- nually to the school ma'ams of New
 York city, and wanted quick. Appli- cants should be old maids of vinegary and forbidding aspect, for the havoc wrought last summer by the curly headed god in the costume advocated
 by Mark Twain and armed with bow
 and arrows. was so great that school officials despair of maintaining an efti- cient corps having even passably good looks Just why the slaughter among school teachers should be so great Is held by philosophers and sages to be an inexplicable psychological phenom- enon, but ordinary humans suspect the Manhattan male population of shrewd- ly calculating that the young lady who has spent a year or two in teaching the young idea how to shoot, has stored up a valuable experience against the fu- ture and likely to be handy around the house. Every summer, as soon as the spring term of school is over there is a large crop of resignations, many of them for the avOwed purpose of enter ing the matrimonial harness. which is held to debar them from positions as teachers. This year the number of re- cruits has been considerably lessened by reason of the severity of the exam nations and the fact that the prepara- tory course in the Normal College has been considerably heightened Mean time the increase in the enrolment ot pupils has been 33,OOO over last year. The increase has been greatest in the borough of the Bronx, where teachers are scarcest, and Queens, Richmond, Brooklyn, and Manhattan rank next in order. At present there are 554 school buildings in the city and 75 more are under construction. The shortage of teachers is so great that in many cases the older pupils are acting in that ca pacity to their younger comrades.

The local custom house and apprai- ser's stores have never had a busier year than that just closing. and the officials predict that the governments revenues for this year will be higher than ever before. Last year the com merce of the city reached the enormous total of 42O.S23, ,9S6, including the ex- ports and imports of both merchandise and bullion. For the first eleven months of the present year the trans actions aggregate s1,271, ,4O7,935, and it is expected that the trade movements of the month of December will increase the total to S1,5O1 ,S45,957, or sS1.021, ,S71 more than last year. At the custom house it is estimated that on December 31. the duties collected during the year will amount to at least s2OO, ,0O0, ,0OO Last year the revenue from this source was s1SS,752,315, against s170.27O.776 in 1904. These figures show to what an. extent New York serves as the clearing house of the foreign trade Of the country. In the first eleven months of 1896 the total exports and imports through this port had a value of only S731,329,S5 against more than a billion and a quarter So far this year, in d total of a little more than $3,OO0, ,0O0, 900 for the entire country.

Gothamites have never regarded Chi cago as backward in claiming anything that seemed to her desirable, especially if it could be obtained at the expense of New York; but the latest demand from the city by the lake has been something of a facer for all that. + is nothing less than the claim of one Mrs. Laura E. Skeels to the Manhattan waterfront of the Harlem river. which. through a reputable firm of Wall street attorneys, she asserts is hers by virtue of a royal grant made to certain of her ancestors in 1866. At that time the chief products of the region were scalps, warwhoOps and wildcats; now they are high rents. The property in cluded in the claim, which extends clear across Manhattan Island at it.; widest part. has become enormously valuable within comparatively recent recent years, for the Harlem river is now a very important link in the city's system of waterways, and Is lined on either side with valuable dock and manufacturing sites. If Mrs. Skeels succeeds in proving her claim, and it is now receiving the serious attention of the Corporation Counsel, she will become the wealthiest landholder in the country, which has long been a posi- tion enjoyed by the Astor estate.

The 4-master schooner William Not tingham, out of Port Townsend, Wash. on June A, with the biggest cargo of lumber that ever came around the Horn, put into the New York harbor one day last week with a chapter of accidents to her credit that would be a genuine inspiration to w. Clark Rus sell or any other chronicler of the sea. While the vessel was loading at Port Townsend. one of the crew stabbed the captain four times in the back. Bu. the "old man" is only twenty nine years old and speedily recovered. After 700 big sticks of oregon pine. some of them more than 100 feet long and 9 feet in diameter, had been loaded, the vessel put to sea and sixty days after sprung a leak off the coast of South America. For a time the donkey en- zine served to keep her free of water. but on September 24 she ran into an iceberg ten miles long, lost her fore yard in the collision and was nearly submerged by the weight of ice that came aboard. After that she leaked worse than ever and it required the best efforts of the crew of six men at the hand pumps to keep afioat. For three days the vessel tackled about the Falkland Islands, playing tag with the

Catarrhal Gastrtis

For two years I was in a very bad condition. I was treated by number of emi- nent physicians for chronic catarrhal gastritis and dilata- tion of the stomach, and ob- tained no relief. I grew grad ually worse, my breathing was so difficult at times that 1 thought l would die. My heart was in very bad condition from poor circulation and pressure of the dilated stomach. I de- cided it was only a matter of very short time with me. I was advised to try Dr. Miles Nervine and Heart Cure, and before l had finished taking one bottle of the medicine I felt like a new being. I took eight bottles of the medicine, and am entirely cured, for a matter of about $500 in the face of two hundreds spent in the two years before without relief" A. D. SLACK,
